Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 101 Only I Didn’t Drink

Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Only I Didn’t Drink

Dani did miss her little sister, but she didn’t dare to save any for her under Grandma’s watchful eyes, so she only saved two spoons for her mother, Zhao Mei.

So that morning, all the womenfolk in the old Chen Family, with the exception of Li Chunhua and Chen Erni, enjoyed the sweet and fragrant malt essence.

Li Chunhua was unaware. After washing the dishes to avoid displeasing Grandma, she had sneaked out of the house.

But Chen Erni had heard it all and was already so upset she had cried. She even heard Grandma’s grumbling voice: "Dani, tell Erni to get to work. If she doesn’t work, she’ll have no food tomorrow. We don’t keep loafers around here!"

And so, the tears started to flow faster.

When Dani walked into the room, she saw Erni lying on the bed crying heartbrokenly, and she felt absolutely wronged.

Dani thought Erni was starving. She quickly went over and pulled out half a sweet potato cake, "Eat up quickly, Mom has another half."

Erni suddenly looked up, with teary eyes, looking pitifully at her, "Sis, I also want to drink malt essence."

"You heard it?" Dani revealed a troubled expression, "But malt essence is such an expensive thing, Grandma certainly won’t easily take it out again."

Such a small can costs a full two yuan!

Growing up, the most money she had ever held at one time was ten cents.

Erni looked wronged and accused, "You all drank it! Even Liuni drank it, only I didn’t!"

Dani tried to soothe her, "Well then, wait for next time. Next time, I won’t drink it, I’ll save it all for you, okay?"

Erni knew no matter how much she cried today, she wouldn’t get any malt essence. So she could only nod her head while tearing up, and started eating her half of the sweet potato cake.

Seeing Erni occasionally sobbing, Dani was distressed. But for the first time, she showed a stern look to her sister, "Erni, listen to your sister. From now on, don’t waste food, and don’t be jealous of Guibao anymore. This time Grandma’s punishment was light. Next time, you’ll definitely get a sound beating."

Erni bit her lip and said nothing, her eyes filled with stubbornness and unwillingness, but she didn’t resist as fiercely as the night before.

Dani knew her words were sinking in, so she quickly capitalized on it, "Did you forget when Guibao was two years old? Xiaobao pushed him down the doorstep and he scraped his head. Grandma used a bamboo rod and hit Xiaobao’s butt till it bled. For two months, she didn’t give him egg custard."

Xiaobao is the only boy in the family. He was brutally punished by Grandma like this. If it was Erni, she dared not imagine what the consequences would be.

Erni also understood this, so she reluctantly nodded and said, "I understand."

Dani then consoled her, patting her head, "Even though Guibao has grandparents to dote on him, you also have your sister and parents to cherish you. Look, even Aunt San wanted to hit Guibao today."

Upon hearing this, Erni made a face and said, "I wouldn’t be Aunt San’s daughter even if it killed me!"

Outside the house, Ma Xiulian, carrying her hoe, was preparing to head out, "Guibao, Tingyun, there are two roasted sweet potatoes by the stove. If you’re hungry, just take them and eat."

The two toddlers responded in unison, "Okay."

After she left, Gu Tingyun asked, "Guibao, are we going to fly kites today?"

Helian Qiao waved her chubby little hand, full of pomp, "No kites. We’re going to the back hill to catch wild rabbits to eat!"

She had had enough of wild hog meat over the past two days.

It wasn’t that Helian Qiao was picky, but that the Dragon Clan never ate animals that had been dead for more than an hour. Some even ate them raw in their original form.
