Chapter 113 A Little Fatherly Love
Thinking about this, Zhao Mei felt that her second daughter really shouldn't be jealous of her little niece, and decided to talk to Erni properly when she got back to her room later.
At this moment, Ma Xiulian noticed that her eldest son was holding half an apple and had no intention of eating it, so she immediately raised her voice and said, "Jianguo, if you don't like this apple, give it to Dani and Sini."
Don't even think about giving it to that girl Erni!
Chen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Mom, I wanted to bring it back for Erni to try too."
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Erni was better at charming her parents than Dani and Sini, so Chen Jianguo liked Erni the most among his three daughters.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian immediately put on a long face and said, "I told you that Erni is not allowed to eat today, and you still want to give her something as precious as an apple. In your heart, my words as her mother no longer matter, do you?!"
Chen Dazhu immediately picked up his pipe and looked at his eldest son with a gloomy expression: "Eldest son, do you think you can take charge of things now that your mother and I are getting old?"
It was as if he could beat her to death with his pipe with just a nod, making Zhao Mei very nervous.
Although I know my husband is the most filial to his parents among his brothers and would never have such a rebellious thought, I'm still worried.
But Chen Jianguo didn't notice, and said in a muffled voice, "As long as you and Mom are still here, Mom and Dad will always be the ones in charge of this family!"
Although he liked his second daughter, he valued filial piety even more, knowing that it wasn't easy for his parents to raise him and his brothers.
Hearing this, Zhao Mei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Hurry up and eat the apple."
Chen Jianguo then ate the remaining half of the apple.
Sanni, who didn't get to eat a single apple, was still a little envious of Erni, envious that Erni had a father who was willing to think of her and save half of the apple for her.
Her father, however, didn't even glance at her. He ate the apple in two bites and smacked his lips, savoring the taste for a while.
Chen Jianye turned his head and saw his eldest daughter staring at him with red eyes and a hint of sadness.
He was taken aback at first, but then he realized that his eldest daughter hadn't even had a bite of apple yet and could only watch others eat.
Thinking of this, Chen Jianye felt a pang of guilt and paternal love.
After all, she was his own daughter and his first child. Unlike his younger daughter, who wasn't raised by his side from a young age, he still loved his eldest daughter very much.
He then said to Li Chunhua, "Wife, leave a piece of apple for our daughter."
Li Chunhua's expression twisted for a moment, and she almost burst into a tirade, but she managed to hold it back and said only, "I'm pregnant and have to eat for two."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye's face showed a troubled expression.
According to my wife, she is likely carrying a son this time, and if she is forced to leave a bite for her daughter, she will definitely make a scene when she goes back to the house.
But he said it in front of his daughter, and his parents, brother and sister-in-law were all watching. What should he do?
Seeing this, Li Chunhua secretly glared at Sanni: "Are you asking for a beating? A good-for-nothing like you actually wants to eat something as precious as an apple?!"
She wouldn't even finish a piece of apple in two bites, but would slowly nibble at it bit by bit.
Sanni lowered her head and whispered, "Dad, I don't want to eat."
Chen Jianye immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Then Dad will definitely save it for you next time."
