Chapter 9 is a bit strange
But Zhou Zhaodi didn't mind at all.
She's not stupid; what matters most is what you actually get, not just a fancy title.
Even if that little fox spirit is powerful, she can only watch helplessly at this moment.
As Zhou Zhaodi thought smugly, she quickly chewed the cured meat in her mouth, savoring the rich, oily flavor.
Helian Jiao, held in Ma Xiulian's arms, smelled the aroma of meat and was extremely anxious, "Ahhh~"
Milk, she wants to eat meat too!
Ma Xiulian looked down and saw glistening drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, and immediately burst into laughter, "Oh dear, why is your drooling, sweetie? Are you craving meat?"
Helian Jiao responded loudly, "Ya~"
Yes, yes!
Although the breast milk tasted good, after drinking it for a month straight, her mouth was almost completely bland.
She's a dragon who loves meat!
However, Ma Xiulian, who had always doted on her, shook her head ruthlessly this time, "No, my dear baby is too young to drink milk now. Grandma will cook meat for you when you grow teeth."
Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao immediately began to protest in a series of "ee-yah-yah" sounds.
She wants to eat meat!
She couldn't understand Ma Xiulian's words because dragons are born able to eat meat.
Ma Xiulian thought she was hungry, so she asked Li Chunhua to breastfeed her.
Li Chunhua, who was eating, reluctantly picked up the baby, turned her back, and unbuttoned her clothes to breastfeed.
Helian Jiao was also unhappy about not getting to eat meat, so she turned her grief and anger into appetite.
Li Chunhua hissed in pain, cursing inwardly: You damned girl who's been reincarnated from a starving ghost!
Although the little girl was pretty and delicate, Li Chunhua didn't really like her because she felt the girl was a bit strange.
Not only did her mother-in-law, who was usually very patriarchal, suddenly start to dote on her, but she also didn't cry once in the past month, except for the night she was born.
Even the little idiot in the next production team who was born mentally challenged knows how to cry!
Li Chunhua also disliked her eldest daughter, Sanni; she valued her son, Chen Xiaobao, the most!
Didn't you see that her mother-in-law is so assertive because she gave birth to five sons for the Chen family?
Ma Xiulian, who was envious of her, slapped Zhou Zhaodi's hand with her chopsticks as she kept picking at meat, and scolded, "You haven't earned many work points but you're eating so much meat. How can you be so shameless!"
Zhou Zhaodi wasn't annoyed; she just picked up a bamboo shoot with a regretful expression.
These days, meat is a rare treat for most families, so meat and vegetables are reserved for the few main breadwinners in the household.
However, Ma Xiulian prepared a small bowl for her three grandsons and also saved a small bowl for Li Chunhua to eat that evening.
As for her three granddaughters, she never even considered them, and her preference for sons over daughters was perfectly justified and aboveboard.
The three girls swallowed hard, staring longingly at the stir-fried cured pork and bamboo shoots, but dared not reach for their chopsticks.
Although Zhao Mei wanted a son, she also felt sorry for her daughter, so she divided her child in half between Da Ni and Er Ni.
Only Sanni, who was neither loved by her father nor her mother, could only eat bamboo shoots dipped in oil, but she was still very content.
The cured pork smells so good!
*
In the evening, Ma Xiulian's daughter, Chen Honghong, who had married into the town, returned carrying a large bag of things.
"Mom, my mother-in-law asked me to bring back two pounds of pork."
Ma Xiulian was quite good to her only daughter, deliberately putting on a stern face to educate her: "Don't bring things home every time you come back. Even if your mother-in-law is good to you, you still need to know your limits."
But the tone was not harsh.
Her daughter was the first person in the entire production team to marry into the town, which greatly enhanced her reputation.
Chen Honghong knew her temper and didn't mind, explaining, "It's just this once, consider it a full moon gift for the baby."
