Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Not Hungry Enough

But when the time came to eat, she was dumbfounded!

There was only a small plate of braised rabbit, and it was purposely placed in front of Helian Qiao and Gu Tingyun, seemingly without any intention to share with the others.

She blurted out subconsciously, "Why is there so little?"

She had heard that they had caught two big fat wild rabbits.

Ma Xiulian shot her a piercing glance: "So what? You think you’re holding a golden nugget in your belly, deserving to have a share in everything delicious?! Even the city walls aren’t as thick-skinned as you!"

Li Chunhua had never expected that she would be scolded so harshly by her mother-in-law just for asking a question. Her heart was filled with anger, embarrassment, and grievance, but she dared not speak a word, fearing that her mother-in-law might threaten to send her back to her parents.

The others were taken aback, immediately retracting their gaze from the tempting rabbit meat and hurrying to grab the last leftover wild boar meat at home.

Although the meat had somewhat gone off, they were still savouring it, wishing there was another big pot of it!

Erni, who was inside, was constantly licking her lips, stimulated by the smell of the meat.

She had only eaten half a sweet potato cake in the early morning, and she had been working in the field all morning. By now, she was starving.

Unable to bear the pain of hunger, Erni opened the door and came out. With teary eyes, she apologized to Ma Xiulian, "Nana, I was wrong. I won’t waste food or be jealous of Guibao anymore!"

But in the corner of her eye, she was secretly staring at the braised rabbit in front of Helian Qiao, feeling very upset.

She was hungry, while Guibao was enjoying the rabbit meat.

Ma Xiulian simply hummed in response without eve looking up, showing no intention of inviting her to come and eat.

Erni bit her lip and asked hesitantly, "Nana, can I eat now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach rumbled loudly.

When Helian Qiao heard this, she turned her head and looked at Erni in surprise, "Erni, why aren’t you eating and just standing there?"

Little Princess was not present at yesterday’s dinner, nobody mentioned the incident to her, and there were so many people in the family that she only realized now that Chen Erni was missing from the dinner table.

Erni thought to herself: all because of your harmful schemes!

Although she didn’t voice it out, Ma Xiulian was sharp enough to see the resentment she had towards her petite granddaughter.

She seemed like she was not hungry enough yet!

She said calmly, "Erni wasted food, so Nana is punishing her by not allowing her to eat for a day."

Hearing this, Helian Qiao frowned and looked unhappy: "Erni, how could you waste food? Wasting food would make heavens strike you down with a bolt of lightning!"

Little Princess was not foolish though innocent; she was aware that their family was so poor they couldn’t afford rice and meat regularly.

Because grandpa and Nana loved her, they would cook rice for her every day and often hide meat to feed her alone.

Ma Xiulian smiled and praised her, "Guibao is right, wasting food could cause sethe heavens to strike you down! Guibao never wastes food and always eats everything clean."

In her heart, Erni bitterly thought: If she could eat meat and rice at every meal, she could also finish everything without leaving a morsel!

That afternoon, she was dizzy and weak from hunger in the field. Not to mention meat and rice, even a sweet potato cake would be gobbled up in no time.

Now, even desiring a sweet potato cake seemed too extravagant for her!

She had to hold back tears and finish the remaining work. Otherwise, with Nana that heartless, she would definitely not be allowed to dine at the table tomorrow,
