Chapter 36 Mother's Discipline
Chen Erbao didn't care about his grandmother's differential treatment; he just focused on chewing the fragrant, oily snake meat in his mouth.
He was eating, holding a piece in his hand, his eyes fixed on the food on the plate.
There's a rule in the Chen family's dining habits: only one piece of meat can be left in the bowl, because these days it's not easy to eat meat.
Although the snake that Helian Jiao caught was long and thick, it couldn't keep up with the large number of people in the Chen family, who had a dozen or so mouths to feed.
So in just a short while, half of the large plate of snake meat was devoured.
While the girls, including Sanni, didn't dare to stuff their mouths full like Chen Erbao, they could finish one piece of food at a time and then pick up another.
If you eat quickly, you can get several pieces of meat.
This was permitted by Ma Xiulian.
Firstly, since our baby was born, we've been eating meat much more often at home.
Secondly, the maids are diligent in their work and take good care of the baby.
So, when conditions at home allow, she is not stingy with a few pieces of meat.
The Chen family was very happy to be able to eat meat.
Except for Li Chunhua, who was pregnant.
She was pregnant and couldn't eat snake meat, so she could only watch others eat it with gusto, which was incredibly agonizing.
His eyes darted around and he saw Helian Jiao, who was monopolizing a whole bowl of snake meat and eating rice. His dissatisfaction and dislike for her instantly rose to a new level.
That brat!
Why didn't she catch wild rabbits and birds, but instead caught a snake that she couldn't eat!
She was eating rice without thinking about her mother at all!
If I had known, I shouldn't have given birth to this ungrateful child!
The more Li Chunhua thought about it, the angrier she became. But she couldn't do anything to her younger daughter, so she vented all her anger on her older daughter.
She pinched Sanni's arm hard and cursed, "Eat, eat, eat! What are you doing eating so much meat, you little brat?"
"hiss!!"
Sanni, who was searching for meat, was pinched like that, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain, but she still endured the pain and continued to search.
The rest of the Chen family remained silent; they had long since become accustomed to Li Chunhua beating and scolding her daughter over the years.
She, as a mother, doesn't feel sorry for hitting her child, and the father doesn't say anything either, so it's even harder for outsiders like them to interfere.
Besides, which child hasn't been beaten these days?
As long as you don't hit too hard, it's fine.
However, Li Chunhua was even angrier than usual today: if she couldn't control her younger daughter, surely she could discipline her older daughter?!
So he slammed his chopsticks down and slapped Sanni across the face. "I told you not to eat! Didn't you hear me?!"
Her commotion was so loud that even Helian Jiao, who was only interested in meat, frowned.
It's so noisy.
Seeing that her granddaughter couldn't even eat in peace, Ma Xiulian immediately put on a stern face and coldly said to Li Chunhua, "What! I let her eat, do you have a problem with that?"
Li Chunhua's arrogant demeanor instantly diminished by more than half.
But she felt incredibly aggrieved and couldn't help but say, "Mom, although you are my elder, Sanni came from my belly, and it is only right and proper for me, as her mother, to discipline her."
Originally, Ma Xiulian didn't care how Li Chunhua disciplined Sanni, but after Li Chunhua finished speaking, she actually turned her gaze towards Helian Jiao.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest!
Ma Xiulian's eyes widened immediately, and she said angrily, "What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that our baby also came from your belly, so it's not my responsibility to care, but yours as the mother?!"
Even Old Man Chen, who was usually as steady as a mountain and rarely interfered in anything, looked at Li Chunhua with a dark expression.
