Chapter 89 I'm Just Favoring You

The next second, however, I heard my grandmother say in a cold tone, "I know you're jealous of my darling and think I'm being too biased towards her."

Erni's heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lower lip hard.

Zhao Mei was also startled, thinking that her mother-in-law had overheard their conversation last night. She immediately spoke up to defend her daughter: "Mom, Erni is just young and doesn't understand, you—"

"Let me finish," Ma Xiulian interrupted her in a deep voice. "It's not just Erni, you all think I'm biased towards Guaibao."

As he spoke, he swept his sharp, piercing old eyes across the faces of everyone at the table, causing the three brothers to instinctively shrink back.

Chen Jiandang weakly defended himself, saying, "Mom, I didn't think that way."

He thought that he had finally shown some cleverness, and that at the very least, he would get a look of approval from his mother.

His mother, however, declared with an air of self-righteousness, "That's right! I just favor my son!"

Chen Jiandang: ...Mom is still so fierce -_-||

Erni finally raised her head, her eyes red with resentment and stubbornness as she looked at her grandmother, as if silently questioning why she was so biased!

Ma Xiulian, raising her voice, argued vehemently, "Even ten fingers can be of different lengths, let alone grandchildren who are from a different generation! Besides, my darling is beautiful, smart, filial, and capable. If I don't favor her, would I favor the ugly, stupid, and always-angry fool?!"

The three Chen brothers: ...I feel a sudden pain in my knee.

So he silently lowered his head, afraid that his mother would use him as a negative example.

Fortunately, Ma Xiulian spoke her mind in one breath, and finally declared: "If any of you are as outstanding as Guaibao, I will also favor you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Erbao, who prided himself on being a man, immediately shook his head like a rattle drum: "I don't want to look as fair and pretty as Guaibao, all effeminate. Grandma, please favor Guaibao."

Moreover, he felt that what his grandmother said made a lot of sense, because among his sisters, his favorite was Guaibao, even more so than his own sister Liuni.

Looking at the disgusted expression on his face, Zhou Zhaodi was both amused and annoyed: "Even if I put you back in my belly and gave birth to you, you still wouldn't grow up to be like my little darling."

Chen Erbao wasn't angry at all; instead, he boasted smugly, "My darling little sister is the prettiest girl in the whole commune!"

Although Sanni didn't say anything, she thought that if she were her grandmother, she would also favor the good boy who often caught wild chickens and rabbits.

Before my daughter was born, we rarely ate meat in our family, and the girls rarely got to eat meat.

And it's so nice that Grandma favors the good baby.

Guai Bao had food in her pocket, so her sisters could also eat some, which is why she couldn't understand why Er Ni was so jealous of Guai Bao.

Da Ni and Da Bao are already sensible, while Si Ni and Liu Ni are too young. They only feel envious, not jealous.

As for the three Chen brothers, although they felt that their mother favored their daughter, their daughter was just a little girl who would eventually marry into another family.

Since they're not going to fight their son for the inheritance, let the parents spoil them if they want; they'll only spoil them for ten years or so at most.

Instead, Li Chunhua jumped out anxiously: "Mom, I have no problem with you favoring Guabao among your granddaughters, but you can't overlook Xiaobao and the other boys who are responsible for carrying on the Chen family line—"

Before he could finish speaking, Old Man Chen interrupted him in a deep voice: "You have no right to speak on matters concerning the Chen family!"

Li Chunhua immediately felt as if she had been choked; her face flushed red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and shame.
