Chapter 123 An Immense Injustice
Most importantly, the little princess could feel her second brother's care and affection, just like her two royal brothers, so he was willing to give her a bite to eat.
So she nodded and said in a soft, sweet voice, "You can only have one bite~"
She loves her grandparents the most and wants to give them more lion's head meatballs.
Dragons have always been known for their clear likes and dislikes, and for their capricious and unrestrained nature. They openly and honestly favor certain things, never resorting to the human approach of claiming fairness and justice.
"I'll definitely only take one bite!"
Chen Erbao made the promise with a smug look on his face, then opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to swallow the lion's head meatball whole.
But it was just a show; he took a small bite.
Then, as if he had tasted some heavenly delicacy, he swayed his head with a satisfied and blissful expression, saying, "Delicious, delicious, so incredibly delicious~"
His exaggerated tone and expression made the rest of the Chen family drool, and even the sponge cake in their mouths didn't taste as good anymore.
Chen Xiaobao was so tempted that he burst into tears, crying, "Mom, I want some too!"
"Okay, okay, you eat too."
While coaxing her son, Li Chunhua said to Helian Jiao, "Sweetie, let your little brother have a bite too."
Helian Jiao said with a haughty expression, "No!"
The little princess disliked Chen Xiaobao for taking her food, preferring to give the food to the dog rather than give it to him.
Chen Xiaobao immediately started crying even harder, "I want to eat! I want to eat!!"
Li Chunhua glared at him disapprovingly and said, "Xiao Bao is your own brother!"
That brat, she can't even tell who her real brother is!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhaodi rolled her eyes and retorted, "Da Bao and Er Bao are also Guai Bao's older brothers, and they never steal her food."
Chen Erbao immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Yes! I am Guaibao's older brother."
He'll get angry at anyone who says that Guabao isn't his biological sister!
But Chen Jianye felt that his wife was right. Their little girl had already given a bite to Erbao, so there was no reason not to give some to Xiaobao, her older brother.
When he turned his head, he saw that his mother and father had already started eating lion's head meatballs, so he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He's such a grown man, if he still asks his parents for food, he'll be struck by lightning.
Ma Xiulian had something to say to him: "Third brother, take Xiaobao out to cry, and come back in to eat after he's cried enough."
Chen Jianye was stunned. By the time Xiao Bao finished crying and came back, the plates on the table would probably have been licked clean.
But he dared not refute it, because if it were his brothers who were making such a fuss when they were young, they would have been severely beaten by their mother with a broom long ago.
Li Chunhua stared wide-eyed in disbelief: Has her mother-in-law gone mad? Xiao Bao is her grandson!
However, Chen Xiaobao's crying stopped instantly. "Grandma, I'm not crying anymore."
She stopped crying instantly, without even a few sobs, and then went back to eating the sponge cake.
In fact, children are often better at reading people's expressions and acting than adults.
For example, Chen Xiaobao, ever since he was severely punished by Ma Xiulian last time, has not dared to snatch food from the little princess again. This time, he only made a fuss because he saw that Chen Erbao, who was of the same status as him, was eating.
Relying on Chen Jianye and Li Chunhua's doting affection for him, he could cry and throw tantrums without restraint when facing them, in order to get everything he wanted.
Knowing that her grandmother wouldn't indulge her, she chose to obediently listen without feeling wronged or dissatisfied.
But Li Chunhua felt that her son was wronged, that he was wronged beyond measure!
