章節 15: Chapter 15: Immense Injustice
Helian Qiao was still crying her eyes out with them tightly shut.
Li Chunhua, annoyed, knit her brows and unexpectedly reached out to cover her mouth, "I told you to stop crying!!"
Ma Xiulian pushed the door open to see this scene, instantly turning pale out of fear, her voice sharp and high-pitched, "Li Chunhua, what are you doing?!"
Like being scalded by boiling water, Li Chunhua quickly pulled back her hand, stammering in an attempt to explain, "Mother, I... I was just—"
Ma Xiulian had already rushed over, pushing her aside, and then carefully picked up the bawling Helian Qiao, "Don't be afraid, sweetheart, Granny is here, Granny is here."
Helian Qiao wanted to complain to her grandmother, but the infant's instinct made her unable to stop crying for a moment.
Seeing her little granddaughter's crying and flushed face, Ma Xiulian only felt heartache and anger. How much grievance must her precious granddaughter have suffered!
Thus, with a black face, she glared fiercely at Li Chunhua, "Li Chunhua, you're really something!"
Li Chunhua, frightened and scared by her mother-in-law's furious expression, stuttered in explanation, "It was... it was because Guibao's incessant crying scared Xiaobao. I... I only covered her mouth because of that."
She was convinced deep down that no matter how much her mother-in-law adored her granddaughter, she would never surpass her grandson, the inheritor of the family line.
Only then did Ma Xiulian shift her gaze to the somewhat stunned Chen Xiaobao, and then she sharply noticed the residual milk stains on his lips, instantly becoming extremely angry.
"I wondered why after feeding you so much good food, there is still not enough milk. It turns out you have been secretly feeding Xiaobao!"
Li Chunhua was startled, only then realizing she had neglected to wipe her son's mouth clean earlier.
She swallowed, about to say something, but heard her mother-in-law coldly say, "Since you don't want to breastfeed, then stop."
Ma Xiulian, holding her granddaughter, turned around and left the room.
At this time, the rest of the Chen family who had returned home early due to the heavy rain also came back.
She said to the drenched Zhao Mei, "Eldest daughter-in-law, from now on, you will breastfeed Guibao and eat the best goodies at home."
Zhao Mei was taken aback, wanting to say that her breast milk was roughly enough only for her own baby girl, but seeing her mother-in-law's upset face, she didn't dare to refuse and could only nod her head and say, "Okay."
Zhou Zhaodi, on the other hand, was rather bold and immediately asked with a gossipy face, "Mom, why suddenly let the eldest sister-in-law breastfeed Guibao? Where is the third sister-in-law?"
The moment Li Chunhua was mentioned, Ma Xiulian became angry, "That damned woman secretly fed Xiaobao with milk, poor my Guibao, she was starving at such a young age."
Zhou Zhaodi immediately widened her eyes, staring incredulously at the door of the third room; had Li Chunhua gone crazy from giving birth?
Knowing full well that her mother-in-law was completely mesmersised by the little vixen, daring to withhold her rations, wasn't this courting death?
Although she was overjoyed, her face showed righteous indignation, "How could the third sister-in-law do this? Xiaobao is almost three years old, while Guibao just turned one month old, it's absolutely unreasonable, totally unreasonable!"
The rest of the Chen family were also shaken by Li Chunhua's outrageous behaviour, even Ma Xiulian, who valued boys over girls, had never used her granddaughter's rations to feed her grandson.
However, Helian Qiao, the poor little girl who had been treated harshly, easily forgot.
Seeing that her grandmother was only occupied with being angry, she opened her cute little mouth and let out an "Ah ya~" towards her.
She was still hungry for milk.
Ma Xiulian, in a hurry, said to Zhao Mei, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go change into clean clothes and feed her quickly."
Then she ordered Zhou Zhaodi to go to the kitchen, "Second daughter-in-law, make a bowl of brown sugar water and boil four eggs."
Li Chunhua sat on the bed hugging her son, dumfounded. Hearing that her mother-in-law was going to give her share of the food to her sister-in-law, she felt an indescribable sense of injustice in her heart, but she dared not say a word of disagreement.
