Chapter 126 Sanni Stands Up
But Li Chunhua was beautiful, and the third son took a liking to her and insisted on marrying her, so she had no choice but to add ten yuan to the bride price to bring her back.
I originally thought that since the third son's wife was born into such a patriarchal family, even if she didn't love her daughter very much, she wouldn't beat or scold her at will.
That was indeed the case before Xiaobao was born, and it was even considered quite good.
After giving birth to a son, Li Chunhua's heart and eyes were filled only with her son. Her daughter was like roadside grass, whom she didn't even want to look at.
Later, whenever she was unhappy, she would take it out on her daughter by hitting and scolding her, but she didn't hit her hard enough, so the grandmother didn't interfere. Besides, which child hasn't been beaten these days?
But to her utter surprise, this idiot secretly kicked the child.
Seeing Sanni sitting silently on the ground with a pale face, Ma Xiulian knew this wasn't the first time, and her face darkened even more.
Even if she doesn't like her granddaughter, Sanni is still a member of the Chen family!
Hearing her mother-in-law say those words, Li Chunhua's old face darkened terribly, and she immediately shrank back, stammering, "Mom, I...I..."
She wanted to defend herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her mother-in-law glared at her with a fierce look and she didn't dare to breathe. Her heart was pounding wildly, fearing that her mother-in-law would really send her back to her parents' home.
But Ma Xiulian didn't reprimand her. Instead, she looked at Sanni, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Sanni, stand up."
Sanni used her hands to support herself on the ground and stood up despite the pain in her thighs and buttocks.
Li Chunhua used all her strength in that kick; if she hadn't been pregnant and dared not move too much, the kick would have landed on her stomach.
Seeing that her little face was contorted with pain but she didn't cry or make a sound, Ma Xiulian said sternly, "Remember, you are the daughter of the Chen family. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, no one can beat or scold you at will. Next time your mother hits you for no reason, just run away first. When Grandma comes back, she will stand up for you."
Sanni is resilient and intelligent. It's much easier for her to stand up on her own than to waste words teaching that forgetful idiot Li Chunhua a lesson.
Sanni was stunned for a moment, then the tears she had been holding back began to fall in a stream. She nodded heavily, her voice choked with emotion, "Yes, I remember!"
Li Chunhua's expression changed. What did her mother-in-law mean by that?!
It's bad enough that she can't discipline that wicked brat, but now she can't even discipline her eldest daughter?! What dignity and face does she have left in this family?!
Seeing that she still dared to show dissatisfaction, Ma Xiulian said in a harsh voice, "This is the Chen family, not the Li family who treat their daughters like dirt. If you miss your parents' home, then go back home."
Having a daughter-in-law who's dumber than a pig means she can't help but be a wicked mother-in-law, no matter what.
Li Chunhua shivered immediately and shook her head frantically, saying, "I don't miss it! I don't miss my family's life at all!"
If she had to go back to a life worse than that of an animal, she would rather smash her head against the wall of Old Chen's house and die.
Ma Xiulian continued in a vicious tone, "You kicked Sanni for no reason, and afterwards you had to do all the work at the Zhou family's house by yourself!"
Sanni looked at her fierce grandmother through teary eyes, but she wasn't scared at all.
Li Chunhua was dumbfounded. These days, housework is not much easier than farm work!
The Chen family has about ten members, and just cooking and washing clothes can be exhausting, let alone doing both.
