MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 12 Preferring boys over girls
Chapter 12: Preferring sons over daughters
Listen, what a well-behaved child, why doesn’t Mr. Du like it?
“Yaya, grandma can’t eat, can you eat some for me?” Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth and showed a kind smile like a wolf grandmother, asking Little Red Riding Hood to lower her guard.
She is a little girl after all. Seeing her grandma smiling at her, her eyes lit up.
“Is it true that grandma can’t eat it?”
“Yeah, grandma really can’t eat anymore.”
Look, Little Red Riding Hood took the bait.
"Then Yaya, help grandma eat a little." The little girl raised her head and spoke with a milky voice.
“Then thank you Yaya.”
Baiyunxi fed him spoonful by spoonful, and the little girl squinted her eyes in enjoyment, with a look of satisfaction on her face, which made those watching feel sour.
In the past, the food that she considered ordinary was so precious here.
In this house, it’s hard to find an egg.
Having eaten half of the egg custard, Yaya patted her belly.
“Grandma, Yaya is full too.”
"When there is something delicious to eat in the future, can grandma take Yaya with her?" A child over three years old only eats so little, so Mrs. Du really doesn't care about her.
“Grandma is so nice today.”
Yaya raised her head, and she didn’t know if it was because she had eaten egg custard, or because she smiled so kindly, which made the little girl a little bolder.
Hearing her granddaughter's innocent tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned. In her memory, although the original owner had not abused her, he also ignored her.
Since Du Shi became pregnant, the original owner had been hoping that she would give birth to a baby. The first eldest grandchild of the Bai family should be a boy.
It’s a pity that the Du family failed to live up to expectations and gave birth to a girl named Fianzi. She was still struggling to survive. The original owner was unhappy and treated both the Du family and her daughter well.
But she is afraid of outsiders gossiping, and as a lady who is a minister, her reputation must not be tarnished.
So, even if I saw Du Shi upset, I still gave him an egg every day, plus a packet of brown sugar, and the rest was gone.
These things are reasonable for a normal pregnant woman, but due to Duchenne dystocia, the body has been injured and a doctor should be consulted for recuperation. In fact, the original owner also prepared a lot of postpartum supplements in advance, including brown sugar, eggs, red dates, lotus seeds and longan, which was full...but because Du Shi gave birth to a girl, they all were taken away.
Mrs. Du also knew what her mother-in-law meant. She gave birth to a girl, but she was not welcomed by her mother-in-law and did not dare to mention it to the doctor.
She mentioned it to Bai Anchen in private, saying that she was not in good health and was afraid that it would affect her next pregnancy, but the man ignored her at all and said that she should burn incense because her mother did not blame her for giving birth to a girl. Why should she be seen by a doctor?
It’s all hypocrisy.
Mrs. Du felt aggrieved, but she never dared to mention it again. However, the look in her eyes when she looked at her daughter also changed. Not only did she lack motherly love, but she also felt a hint of resentment.
The original owner once overheard Mrs. Du complaining, saying that her daughter was a debt collector and that she was in trouble because she had to pay for goods.
The original owner didn't care at the time, but now that she thinks about it, how innocent is the little girl?
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi put the bowl in the corner of the cabinet, stretched out his hand to hold Yaya in his arms, felt the little girl's stiff body, and sighed again in his heart.
Picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, coaxing her softly.
“So good, can grandma be nice to Yaya every day from now on?”
"Really?"
Yaya raised her head, her **** grape-like eyes staring at her cutely, making people feel heartbroken just by looking at them.
“Of course it’s true, grandma never lies.”
When Bai Yunxi mentioned the name grandma, she felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
Ah~, what kind of grandma? She doesn’t want to be.
But looking at the little girl's ignorant eyes, she couldn't bear it.
