Chapter 445 If you don't want to eat, then don't eat.
Li Chunhua glared and argued, "There are only a few bowls in the house. If she breaks one every few days, what will we use to eat? Besides, each bowl costs two cents. We don't have that much money for her to break!"
Chen Jianye closed his eyes, not wanting to argue with a woman, and thought he would have his eldest daughter join him at the table for dinner that night.

Zhao Mei was sitting on the bed, drinking millet porridge with three eggs nestled in it.
She fainted after giving birth and had only just woken up. The millet porridge had been simmering for a while and was now oozing with rice oil, smelling delicious.
Most importantly, she finally gave birth to a son for her husband!
At this moment, Zhao Mei felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before, and even felt her back straighten up considerably.
"Mom, I want a bite." Erni stood by the bed, looking at her longingly.
In the past, Zhao Mei would give her food whenever she begged, but this time she hesitated: "But Mom needs to breastfeed my younger brother. If I don't eat more, I won't produce milk, and my younger brother will go hungry."
Erni pouted and said coquettishly, "Just one bite."
She stared intently at the fragrant millet porridge, her mouth watering.
Zhao Mei looked troubled, while Chen Jianguo frowned and scolded, "Erni, how can you be so insensible?! Didn't your mother say that it was for breastfeeding your younger brother?!"
What if my son goes hungry!
Erni was stunned for a moment, not expecting her father to scold her over such a small matter. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she shouted in a tearful voice, "Fine, I won't eat!"
After yelling, he turned around and ran back to his room.
"Erni—"
Zhao Mei quickly said to Da Ni, "Da Ni, go and see her, and comfort your sister."
"Okay, Mom." Da Ni nodded and turned to chase after her.
Zhao Mei then looked at her husband and said, "Don't be so harsh on our daughter."
Chen Jianguo said in a low voice, "From now on, you'll have to have the best things in the house, so we can raise our son to be healthy and chubby!"
We finally had a son, so we must give him the best in the family!
Zhao Mei's heart softened at the mention of her son, and she looked at his slightly wrinkled little face with maternal love in her eyes, feeling incredibly fond of him.
She also hopes that her son can grow up to be as chubby and healthy as her baby was when he was little, looking like a blessed person.
When Da Ni entered the room, she saw Er Ni lying on the bed crying. She quickly went over to comfort her and said, "Er Ni, Mom didn't give you any because she needed to replenish her nutrition after giving birth. I know you've always been sensible, so don't cry."
"I just wanted a sip to satisfy my craving," Erni said, propping herself up and pouting pitifully.
My parents would never have been so reluctant to give her a single bite of food before.
Da Ni nodded repeatedly and said a few more comforting words: "Yes, I know. Dad was just worried about Mom and my brother. You saw what happened last night, didn't you?"
Erni was relieved, after all, what happened last night was really scary. They all thought they would never have a mother again. Fortunately, in the end, mother and child were safe.
Little did she know that her truly difficult days were about to begin.
After the Chen family finished their afternoon nap, they carried hoes and went to work in the fields. Along the way, everyone they met was concerned about Helian Jiao's condition.
"I heard that my baby got sick this morning? They even called the village's barefoot doctor, but it didn't work, so they had to take him to town?"
How is the child?
"Looking at how healthy and energetic my baby is, he doesn't seem like he'd get a serious illness at all!"
