Chapter 88 Because of Jealousy of Her
She first asked calmly, "Erni, did you put this soil in there?"
Erni lowered her head, biting her lip. After hesitating for a moment, she denied it in a low voice: "I didn't, it was dirt that fell from the wall."
She felt a little regretful because she was afraid her grandmother would beat her.
When she denied it, Ma Xiulian's voice suddenly became stern: "Raise your head and look me in the eyes when you speak!"
Erni trembled with fright, lowered her head even further, and cried out, "I didn't, I really didn't."
Zhao Mei quickly defended her daughter: "Mom, you know that the girls are always honest and dutiful, they would never do something like wasting food."
Dani, however, felt uneasy because she remembered her sister's dissatisfaction and jealousy at the time.
Zhou Zhaodi secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that her sister-in-law was hopelessly stupid, unable to see that Erni was so guilty.
Moreover, this isn't a matter of wasting food; it's clearly Erni being jealous of Guabao and deliberately causing trouble.
However, her husband, Chen Jiandang, nodded in agreement and said, "I also think it's dirt that fell from the wall. Anyway, it's not the first time we've found dirt in our food."
Besides the baby, the daughters in the family are all more honest and hardworking than the three boys.
Zhou Zhaodi was furious. How could she have married such a simpleton!
The next second, Ma Xiulian glared at her second son and angrily shouted, "What do you think! I knew before that your head was full of straw, but now I know that your eyes are no different from those of a blind person! How could I have given birth to such a stupid thing like you?!"
Chen Jianguo and Chen Jianye immediately lowered their heads, afraid that they would be the next ones to be scolded by their mother.
Because they had the same idea as the second brother.
Ma Xiulian was extremely upset, unable to understand how someone as smart as her could have given birth to three such stupid sons!
Luckily, her eldest daughter and fourth and youngest daughters are smart like her, otherwise she would be driven crazy by these three idiots.
Chen Jiandang, who had been thoroughly berated, dared not utter a sound. Feeling extremely aggrieved, he tugged at his wife's clothes, hoping she would comfort him.
Zhou Zhaodi patted his hand gently to comfort him, but thought to herself: Serves you right, who told you to go out of your way to embarrass your mother-in-law.
Erni was even more frightened, wondering whether she should confess and admit her mistake, but she didn't understand why her grandmother insisted that she had deliberately put the soil in there.
While she hesitated, Ma Xiulian said with a stern old face, "I put the rice into the bowl clean and filled it with clean water before I had Erni rinse it and put it in the steamer. You don't need to go to the corner to pour water. Even if dirt fell from the wall, it wouldn't fall into the bowl of rice. As your grandmother, I would never wrong you for no reason."
She cooks in the kitchen every day and has long since mastered these little details.
Zhao Mei, who often worked in the kitchen, understood everything after hearing these words. Erni had deliberately put soil into the bowl.
She looked at her daughter with a pained expression: "Erni, why are you wasting food like this?"
Moreover, it's a refined grain like rice.
Their whole family works hard in the fields every day just so they can have enough to eat. You could say that food is their lifeblood!
Because I'm jealous of my sweet baby, jealous that she can eat rice at every meal!
Erni roared angrily in her heart, but she dared not say it out loud in front of her grandmother.
