Chapter 289 He gave it to me himself
And that brat, she went to town to eat and drink well, and made her go hungry!
Zhao Mei said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law. I will definitely discipline her properly in the future."
She also felt that her second daughter had gone too far this time!
Li Chunhua, however, pressed on relentlessly: "Sister-in-law, you ate so many glutinous rice balls this morning and you're not hungry, but I'm still starving! And I need to breastfeed Jinbao. If I don't eat two more eggs, I won't be able to replenish this little bit of milk."
According to the Chen family's custom, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers can eat two sweet eggs in soup every two days to nourish their bodies. She wanted Zhao Mei to give her tomorrow's portion as compensation.
"Then, you can have my eggs," Zhao Mei said meekly, going along with her wishes.
Erni knelt outside the door, and upon hearing these words, she etched Li Chunhua's mean face into her mind.
Third Auntie only bullies her mother like this because she gave birth to two sons!
Li Chunhua nodded in satisfaction; her sister-in-law was quite sensible.
Chen Jianye, sitting next to her, felt embarrassed listening to her words and quickly declined, "No need, no need! We'll be eating soon!"
As he spoke, he turned and glared at Li Chunhua, telling her not to go too far.
Li Chunhua, however, argued vehemently, "It was my sister-in-law who offered me the food; I didn't ask for it!"
Liu Lanzhi, sitting next to her, couldn't stand it any longer and said, "I have some snacks. If you're hungry, Third Sister-in-law, you can take them to tide you over. Eldest Sister-in-law is pregnant and needs eggs to nourish her body."
After this period of time, she had roughly figured out the temperaments and personalities of her three sisters-in-law.
This third sister-in-law is shameless and bullies the weak while fearing the strong. She can only bully the eldest sister-in-law, who is good-tempered and honest.
Li Chunhua chuckled and said in a feignedly polite tone, "Then I'll just have a couple of pieces to tide me over. It's not that I want to eat, it's just that I need to breastfeed my baby, and if I don't eat, I won't have any milk!"
Anyway, my sister-in-law will still eat the eggs she makes for me tomorrow morning!
Zhao Mei herself said she wanted to give it to her, so why not take it!
Zhao Mei glanced at Liu Lanzhi gratefully, feeling a little embarrassed, but since she didn't have anything particularly good to offer, she could only express her gratitude several times.
Chen Jianguo felt a little uncomfortable. Zhao Mei wasn't alone anymore; the child needed nutrition too. But being honest and shy, he didn't say anything.
Chen Jianye, standing to the side, felt embarrassed and wanted to say that it wasn't necessary, but when he heard Li Chunhua say that without food there would be no milk, he felt sorry for his youngest son.
The youngest son is a lucky one; he'll have a bright future, so he can't go hungry.
So he silently shut his mouth, thinking that since Lao Wu earned more money than him, eating two pastries wouldn't be considered taking advantage of him.
Chen Jiandang sat to one side waiting for the meal to be served, thinking to himself that women are such a hassle!
Only my own wife is good; she's smart and knows how to handle things.
Liu Lanzhi got up, her pregnant belly protruding, and went back into the house to get some snacks. Li Chunhua immediately followed her in.
After careful comparison, I chose the two largest pieces, held them in my hands, and walked out the door with a satisfied smile.
Before he could even sit down properly, Chen Xiaobao darted out from the side, snatched a piece, and started eating it in big bites.
"Da Ni, you guys share this first, just to fill your stomachs."
Liu Lanzhi also brought out two pastries for the children to have a little something to eat, even Erni received some.
"Thank you, Auntie Wu!" Erni looked pitiful and reached out to take the snacks.
Chen Jianguo said in a low voice, "She won't eat."
