Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter-Chapter 16 - - Lost a Round of Weight
16: Chapter 16 – Lost a Round of Weight
16 -16 – Lost a Round of Weight
As soon as Chen Jianye entered the house, he saw that his wife was shedding tears, appearing as if she had suffered a great injustice.
He looked at her blankly and asked in a dull voice, “Did mom hit you?”
Although his mother had never really hit her daughters-in-law, angry as she might be, he wondered if she had been pushed to the edge this time.
Li Chunhua shook her head, but tears kept streaming down her face.
Chen Jianye looked at her, utterly perplexed.
“Why are you crying then?”
It was quite normal for a daughter-in-law to be scolded by her mother-in-law.
Tears welled up in Li Chunhua’s eyes as she cried out, “What’s wrong with giving my milk to Xiaobao?
That damned girl is getting fatter and fatter, while my poor Xiaobao is so thin.
You tell me, how can a mother bear to see this?”
She didn’t do anything wrong!
After all, a mere daughter who would marry into another family was nothing compared to a son who would carry on the family line.
She thought she could count on the understanding and support of her own husband, but Chen Jianye just looked at her distastefully, “You shouldn’t take the girl’s food to feed the boy.
Guibao can only drink milk, while Xiaobao can eat rice and vegetables.”
Even if he favored his son more, he couldn’t just let his daughter starve to death.
Besides, his son got to eat a chicken egg every couple of days and never missed a chance to eat meat.
The son was even better off than his own father.
However, Li Chunhua countered through her blurry tears, “I didn’t give all the milk to Xiaobao!
Blame that damned girl for eating so much.
Just a girl, and she eats more than a big, fat boy!
It’s like I’ve done some terrible wrong in my past life to have given birth to such a debt-collecting ghost!”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became: Yes, that damned girl must have come to collect a debt!
Chen Jianye couldn’t be bothered to engage her anymore.
He changed his clothes, lied down on the bed, and with his eyes closed, he said indifferently, “Anyway, you won’t need to breastfeed Guibao anymore.
Feed Xiaobao if you want.”
With that, he fell asleep and began snoring loudly.
Li Chunhua wiped her tears and whispered to her son in her arms, “From now on, mom’s milk will be all for you, Xiaobao.
Drinking it will make you smarter.
You can join the government and bring honor to me.”
Outside, Helian Qiao was happily drinking Zhao Mei’s milk, completely forgetting her earlier anger about her food being stolen.
Zhao Mei, on the other hand, was at a loss, looking at a large bowl of sweet water and eggs in front of her.
These were four eggs!
They could be traded for a catty of salt.

Ma Xiulian prompted her when she saw that she wasn’t moving her chopsticks, “Eldest daughter-in-law, start eating.”
If she didn’t eat something nutritious to nourish her body, her little milk wouldn’t be enough for Guibao.
“Oh, okay.”
Zhao Mei nodded blankly and began eating like a robot.
Ma Xiulian was satisfied when she saw Zhao Mei eating, thinking that the more she ate, the more milk she could produce and the fuller Guibao would become.
Zhou Zhaodi on the side saw this and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, thinking how unlucky she was not to have such a good deal!
If she could eat sweet soup with eggs every day, she wouldn’t mind not only feeding the little fox but also treating her like a little ancestor.
Unfortunately, she just didn’t have that kind of luck!
It was so distressing!
Only after Helian Qiao had finished milk from both sides did she let out a satisfied burp and cloaked her small face with a smile.
The feeling of being full was just too blissful!
Seeing her adorable, smiling face, Ma Xiulian felt her heart soften and felt even more pity, “Poor thing, our Guibao’s face has gotten thinner over the past few days.”
Helian Qiao completely agreed and said, “Ah.”
Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi looked at their niece’s chubby and tender little face, and were completely unable to contradict them.
