"Outside, Zhou Zhaodi, attracted by the smell, entered the kitchen and remarked, "Hmm, smells good, sister-in-law. Is mom cooking a meat dish today?"
Zhao Mei honestly replied, "Mom has made chicken soup."
Zhou Zhaodi's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately turned around and yelled towards the outside, "Dabao, Erbao, get up quickly, your grandmother has made chicken soup!"
In no time, two boys, one big and one small, rushed in.
They were six-year-old Chen Dabao and three-year-old Chen Erbao.
"Mom, I want to eat the big chicken leg!"
"Mom, I want to eat the big chicken leg too!"
Zhou Zhaodi swallowed her saliva and said, "First, go and wash your faces and hands. We will eat when it's time for dinner."
She also wanted to try, but with her sister-in-law watching, she dared not eat blatantly.
But she wasn't in a hurry; having given birth to two chubby boys, she would surely get her share.
However, when they sat down at the table, they still only had wild vegetable porridge and coarse grain cake.
"Mom, where's the chicken soup?"
Ma Xiulian calmly drank the vegetable porridge and stated, "The chicken soup is for the youngest daughter-in-law to restore her health."
What?!
Zhou Zhaodi's eyes widened in shock, she protested loudly, "Mom, isn't this favoritism? Where is all that chicken soup going?"
Ma Xiulian glanced at her dismissively and righteously replied, "You did not give birth, why would you need chicken soup?"
As for Zhao Mei, who had just given birth two months ago, she had completely been pushed out of Ma Xiulian's focal attention.
Zhao Mei, originally honest and straightforward, had given birth to three daughter-straight. She dared not speak after hearing these words.
But Zhou Zhaodi, who had given birth to two chubby boys, protested with full confidence, "Even if I don't drink it, Dabao and Erbao are your grandsons. They should have their share, right!"
In particular, Dabao, who was the most precious eldest grandson of the Chen family.
Chen Dabao and Chen Erbao immediately started to make a fuss, "Grandma, we want to eat the chicken legs!"
Even Chen Xiaobao, followed suit even as a toddler, the three little girls were however quiet.
They were indeed craving for the chicken, but knew that crying wouldn't help, and they might even get scolded.
Ma Xiulian, who indeed loved her grandsons, therefore cooed, "Good boys, grandma will cook eggs for you to eat tomorrow."
However, the six-year-old Chen Dabao already knew the substantial difference between the taste of a chicken leg and an egg, and so he wailed, "I want to eat the chicken leg! I just want the chicken leg!"
Chen Erbao also joined in crying with his older brother.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhaodi, not only didn't correct this behavior but found her sons intelligent, as those children who cried got candy.
Ma Xiulian, annoyed by the incessant crying of the two brats but unwilling to hit or scold them, thought about giving each of her grandsons a piece of meat.
"Bang!"
Old Master Chen suddenly slammed the table and sternly said, "If you don't want to eat, leave the table!"
Although Old Master Chen wasn't very talkative, his words had authority. He was the most authoritative person in the Chen family.
Chen Dabao and his brother, who dared to throw tantrums at their grandmother, were somewhat afraid of their stern-faced grandfather and reluctantly stopped whining.
Zhou Zhaodi didn't dare to open her mouth, but she was fuming inside, thinking that the baby girl of the third brother-in-law must be a reincarnated fox spirit!
She had realized that, her parents-in-law weren't exactly going around doing any favoritism.
Except for extra attention to that baby girl, all other things remained the same.
So the problem must be with that brat.
Anyway, she did not believe that her parents-in-law who favored boys over girls, would suddenly start loving their granddaughter and not their grandsons.
What Li Chunhua didn't know was that she had guessed half the truth correctly.
Helian Qiao wasn't a reincarnated fox spirit, but an innocent Golden Dragon Clan little princess who was caught up in this."
