Chapter 188 Dad didn't spoil you for nothing
Just then, I heard Grandma say from inside, "You're done washing up, let's go back to our room and sleep."
So Erni immediately turned around and ran quickly into her own house.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother applying medicine to her father's back and said angrily, "You're such a troublemaker! You made Dad get beaten by Grandpa!"
Chen Jianguo immediately smiled with relief: "Dad didn't spoil you for nothing, you even know how to care for Dad now."
Zhao Mei thought the same thing, so she whispered a reminder: "Keep your voice down, don't let your grandma hear you."
Erni pouted and complained, "Grandma is so biased!"
The voice was much softer, as if afraid that Grandma would hear it.
Unexpectedly, her mother disagreed, saying, "You're not allowed to say that again! The money your grandma spent on Guaibao was all from Lao Si's salary; it didn't touch a single penny of our family's money."
She used to feel that her mother-in-law spent too much money on her baby, but her parents-in-law were in charge of the household finances and were the ones who earned the most money, so she had some complaints but didn't dare to say them.
But things are different now. The little niece isn't spending her in-laws' money, and therefore not the collective money of their three branches of the family.
After all, since the fourth son doesn't eat or drink at home, he doesn't have to hand over all the money he earns to his parents-in-law for public use like they do. The couple never thought about taking a share of the hard-earned money that the fourth son earned with his life.
So now I don't feel that my mother-in-law is biased at all.
Upon hearing this, Chen Erni became even more angry and sad. If only she had been the one adopted by her fourth uncle!

In the second room next door, Zhou Zhaodi was scolding her husband: "How could you, as the uncle, abandon your precious child and run away to save your own life?!"
Chen Jiandang's face immediately showed a look of shame: "I want to too! But I'm carrying Erbao on my shoulders, so I really can't!"
Although I felt sorry for my niece, she was ultimately no more important than my own son.
Zhou Zhaodi glared at him and said, "Why didn't you think about it? Erbao likes his little sister Guaibao so much. If something really happens to her, how will Erbao see you as his father? Besides, there are three grown men in your family! If you run back first, the eldest and the third will definitely follow. They can't just stand by and watch their brother go back to his death! As long as either the eldest or the third brother carries Guaibao and runs away together, that's fine."
He was taken aback at first, but then he realized that if things really went that way, his son would definitely blame him in his heart.
She felt increasingly ashamed, realizing, "I didn't think that much about it at the time."
Looking at his face full of guilt, and then at his swollen back, Zhou Zhaodi knew that although her man was a bit stupid, he was still soft-hearted.
Then the focus shifted, and they started cursing Chen Jianye: "Third brother, that father, is even worse! He doesn't value his daughter's life! If it were Xiaobao, do you think he would have gone back to save her?! Mom is right, he's a useless coward! A good-for-nothing! He's disgraced all men!"
Zhou Zhaodi was never one to mince words; her speech came out like a barrage of cannonballs, and she didn't hold back at all with her loud voice.
"Luckily, our precious baby was adopted by the fourth brother, otherwise we would have been doomed for eight lifetimes. Chen Jiandang, you mustn't be like that coward who favors sons over daughters, do you hear me!"
"I heard you, I heard you! Honey, I promise I won't be like the third son, who favors boys over girls!"
Chen Jiandang nodded repeatedly, also feeling that what the third brother had done this time was really unethical.
