9 Chapter 9 A Bit Weird

But Zhou Zhaodi didn't mind at all.

She's not stupid, compared to a good reputation, what matters most is what you can put in your mouth.

That little vixen can only watch furiously now.

Thinking triumphantly and munching on the cured meat in her mouth at a rapid speed, Zhou Zhaodi was filled with the fragrant taste of oil.

Held in Ma Xiulian's arms, Helian Qiao smelled the meat and became extremely anxious, "Ah ah~"

Milk is good, but she wanted to eat meat too!

Lowering her head, Ma Xiulian noticed drool at the corner of her mouth and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh dear, little Guibao, why are you drooling? Do you crave meat?"

Helian Qiao responded loudly with an "Ah~".

Yes yes yes!

Although milk was tasty, after drinking it continuously for a month, her taste buds were getting bored.

She was a carnivore from the Dragon Clan after all!

However, Ma Xiulian, who had always been very fond of Helian Qiao, shook her head mercilessly, "That won't work, Guibao. You're too young and can only drink milk now. When you grow teeth, Grandma will cook meat for you to eat."

Hearing that, Helian Qiao started to protest with her fussing sounds immediately.

Eat meat, eat meat, she wanted to eat meat!

She couldn't understand Ma Xiulian's words because babies in the Dragon Clan could eat meat as soon as they were born.

But Ma Xiulian assumed she was hungry, so she let Li Chunhua feed her milk.

Li Chunhua, who was eating her meal, reluctantly held her and turned around to unbutton her blouse and feed her.

Helian Qiao, who didn't get to eat meat, was upset as well, so she decided to vent her frustration on milk-sucking.

Li Chunhua winced in pain and muttered under her breath: What a devil this girl is, starving before she was reincarnated!

Even though the baby girl looked delicate and fair, she wasn't too fond of her because she thought the girl was a little odd.

Not only did she receive exceptional love from her mother-in-law, who usually preferred boys over girls, but she also hadn't cried once since the first night she was born.

Even the village idiot from next door knew to cry after being born!

Li Chunhua also didn't like her eldest daughter, Sanni much. Chen Xiaobao, her son, was her favorite!

Didn't her mother-in-law become so confident only because she gave birth to five sons in a row for the Chen Family?

While she was envying Ma Xiulian, Ma slapped Zhou Zhaodi's hand which was continuously picking up meat, and scolded, "You haven't earned many work points, yet you're eating so much meat. How can you be so shameless!"

Zhou Zhaodi wasn't angry; she just picked up a bamboo shoot with a regretful look on her face.

Everyone rarely saw meat dishes these days, so they were usually reserved for the main workers of the household.

However, Ma Xiulian did put some in a small bowl for her three grandsons, and left a little for Li Chunhua to eat at night.

As for her three little granddaughters, she didn't consider them at all. She blatantly favored boys over girls.

The three girls drooled while eyeing the sautéed cured meat with bamboo shoots, but didn't dare to reach out with their chopsticks.

Zhao Mei, who wanted a son, had a soft spot for her own daughters and gave half of her portion to Dani and Erni.

Only Sanni, who neither her father nor mother cared for, had to eat the bamboo shoots that were only flavored with some oil. But she was quite content with that.

The taste of cured meat was truly delicious!

In the evening, Ma Xiulian's daughter, who was married in the town, Chen Honghong, came back with a big bag of things.

"Mum, my mother-in-law asked me to bring back two catties of pork."

Ma Xiulian treated her only daughter quite well and purposely scolded her with a stern face, "Don't bring things back every time, even if your mother-in-law treats you well, you should know better."

But her tone wasn't harsh.

Her daughter was the first in the whole production team to get married in town, which greatly raised her prestige.

Chen Honghong understood her character, and didn't take it to heart, explaining, "It's only for this time. Consider it as a one-month-old gift for little Guibao."
