Chapter 7: Time to Eat Chicken Legs
Outside, Zhou Zhaodi followed the aroma into the kitchen. "It smells so good, sister-in-law! Did Mom ask us to make meat dishes today?"
Zhao Mei honestly replied, "Mom made chicken soup."
Zhou Zhaodi's eyes lit up immediately, and she turned around and shouted loudly outside, "Dabao and Erbao, get up quickly, your grandma is making chicken soup!"
A moment later, two boys, one big and one small, rushed in.
It was six-year-old Chen Dabao and three-year-old Chen Erbao.
"Mom, I want a big chicken leg!"
"Mom, I want a big chicken leg too!"
Zhou Zhaodi swallowed hard and said, "Go wash your face and hands first, then we can eat it right away."
She wanted to eat too, but with her sister-in-law watching, she couldn't openly steal some.
But there's no rush. She's a hero for giving birth to two big, healthy boys, so she'll definitely get her share of the credit.
When the food was served, all that was left was wild vegetable porridge and coarse grain pancakes.
"Mom, where's the chicken soup?"
Ma Xiulian calmly sipped her vegetable porridge, saying, "The chicken soup is for my third son's wife to nourish her body."
What?!
Zhou Zhaodi's eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed, "Mom, you're being too biased! There's such a big pot of chicken soup!"
Ma Xiulian glanced at her dismissively and said with complete self-righteousness, "You haven't had any children, why would you drink chicken soup?"
As for Zhao Mei, the eldest daughter-in-law who had just given birth two months ago, she had completely forgotten about her.
Zhao Mei, who was honest and kind-hearted and had given birth to three daughters in a row, did not dare to utter a word after hearing this.
But Zhou Zhaodi, who had given birth to two big, healthy boys, was very confident. "Even if I don't drink, Da Bao and Er Bao are your own grandsons, so they should at least get a share!"
Especially Da Bao, he is the most precious eldest grandson of the Chen family.
Chen Dabao and Chen Erbao immediately shouted, "Grandma, we want to eat chicken legs!"
Even Chen Xiaobao, with blemishes on his face, joined in the shouting, while the three little girls remained quiet.
Although they also craved chicken, they knew that crying wouldn't do any good, and they might even get scolded.
Ma Xiulian did indeed love her three grandsons, so she coaxed them, "Good boy, Grandma will cook you steamed egg custard tomorrow."
But six-year-old Chen Dabao already knew the world was the difference between chicken drumsticks and steamed eggs, so he started crying, "I want to eat chicken drumsticks! I want to eat chicken drumsticks!"
Chen Erbao cried along with his brother.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhaodi not only didn't discipline him, but also thought her son was smart, knowing from a young age that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Ma Xiulian was so annoyed by the two rascals' crying that she couldn't bear to hit or scold them, so she thought she might as well give each of her three grandsons a piece of meat.
"Bang!!"
Old Chen suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "If you're not going to eat, get off the table!"
Don't let Old Man Chen's quiet demeanor fool you; when he speaks, his word is law, and he is the most authoritative person in the Chen family.
The Chen brothers dared to throw tantrums at their grandmother, but they were somewhat afraid of their grandfather, who always had a stern face, so they reluctantly shut their mouths and stopped howling.
Zhou Zhaodi didn't dare to say a word, but she was indignant, thinking to herself that the little girl born to her third sister-in-law must be a fox spirit reincarnated!
These days she has come to understand that her parents-in-law were not possessed by ghosts.
Apart from being particularly attentive to that little girl, nothing else has changed.
So the problem must lie with that brat.
Even if you beat her to death, she would never believe that her patriarchal in-laws would suddenly change their minds and prefer their granddaughter to their grandson.
What Li Chunhua didn't know was that she had guessed half the truth.
Helian Jiao was not a fox spirit reincarnated, but an innocent little princess of the Golden Dragon Clan who was implicated.
