"Pudgy girl, don't worry, don't worry, your mom is making chicken stew for lunch today. We won't give any chicken legs to your brothers, we'll give them all to you," said the mother, soothingly stroking her daughter's head.
"Okay..." The little girl nodded, her cheeks forming dimples with each smile.
Her two older brothers in front of her wailed.
"Mom, you can't be partial--"
"You two frightened your sister yesterday. Today at lunch, each of you will only get a chicken wing!"
The sky was cast with a paleness as the three children happily frolicked in the fields.
Life in the village was peaceful. The little girl ran around the mountains with her two brothers all day, yet she still remained chubby and white.
The two elder brothers in the Lin family were two years apart in age, and they were used to pampering their four-year-old sister.
