Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter-Chapter 36 - Maternal Discipline
36: Chapter 36: Maternal Discipline
36 -36: Maternal Discipline
Chen Erbao didn’t care about grandmother’s favoritism, he was solely focused on savoring the flavorful and oily taste of the snake meat in his mouth.
While he was eating, he picked up another piece of meat with his hand, his eyes still firmly fixed on the plate.
It was a rule in the Chen family that only one piece of meat could be left in the bowl when dining, as having meat was considered a luxury during those times.
Even though the snake that Helian Qiao caught was long and thick, it was no match for the numerous hungry mouths in the Chen family, all vying to have a bite.
Therefore, in just a short time, half of the large plate of snake meat was already devoured.
Even though girls like Sanni did not dare to stuff their mouths full like Chen Erbao did, they could pick up a new piece after finishing the one they were eating.
As long as they ate fast enough, they could have several pieces of meat.
This was something Ma Xiulian allowed.
Firstly, ever since Guibao was born, the frequency of eating meat in the family had considerably increased.
Secondly, the girls were diligent in their chores and took good care of Guibao during their shifts.
So, when possible, she did not mind giving them a few pieces of meat.
Being able to enjoy meat made everyone in the Chen family happy.
Everyone, except for the pregnant Li Chunhua.

Since she was pregnant, she couldn’t eat snake meat.
She could only watch everyone else indulging, their mouths smeared with grease.
The torment was unbearable.
Her eyes shifted to Helian Qiao, who was enjoying an entire bowl of snake meat to herself and eating rice.
Her discontentment and unhappiness towards Helian shot up to a new level.
Damned girl!
Of all the things she chose to catch, she brought back a snake, which she couldn’t eat!
She’s eating rice without sparing a thought for her own mother!!
If she’d known, she never would’ve given birth to this ungrateful child!
The more Li Chunhua thought about it, the angrier she got.
Yet, she couldn’t do anything to her younger daughter.
So, instead, she took out her anger on her eldest daughter, who was next to her.
She pinched Sanni’s arm harshly and snarled, “Eat, eat, eat, why is a girl like you eating so much meat?”
“Hiss!”
Sanni, who was searching for more meat, was pinched so hard by her that it brought tears to her eyes, but she endured the pain and continued searching.
Nobody else in the Chen family said anything.
They had long since become accustomed to Li Chunhua abusing her daughters.
If a mother didn’t care about beating her own children, and the father didn’t intervene, the others had no place to say anything.
Besides, which child hadn’t been beaten in those times?
As long as it wasn’t too severe, it was acceptable.
But Li Chunhua’s anger was even greater today: if she couldn’t control her younger daughter, couldn’t she at least discipline her elder one?!
She slammed down her chopsticks and slapped Sanni across the face, “I told you to stop eating, don’t you hear me?!”
The ruckus she created was so loud that even Helian Qiao, who only had eyes for the meat, frowned at the noise.
It’s so noisy.
Seeing that her granddaughter couldn’t even eat in peace, Ma Xiulian immediately glared at Li Chunhua and said coldly, “What’s wrong!
I allowed her to eat.
Do you have a problem with that?”
The overbearing aura of Li Chunhua immediately faded.
But she was still aggrieved and blurted out, “Mom, even though you are my elder, Sanni came out of my belly.
It’s only natural that I discipline her as her mother.”
Initially, Ma Xiulian didn’t care about how she disciplined Sanni, but after she finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Helian Qiao.
And that was like stirring a hornet’s nest!
Ma Xiulian immediately glared back at her, “What are you trying to say?
Are you implying that since Guibao also came from your belly, I shouldn’t be the one managing her but it should be you, her mother?!”
Even the usually steady and aloof head of the Chen family gave Li Chunhua a dark look.
