Chapter 113: Chapter 113: A Bit of Fatherly Love

Thinking about this, Zhao Mei felt that her second daughter really shouldn’t be so jealous of her little niece, deciding to have another talk about this with Erni when she returned to the room.

At that moment, Ma Xiulian saw her eldest son intending to discard a half-eaten apple and immediately shouted, "Jianguo, if you don’t want this apple, give it to Dani and Sini to eat."

Just don’t think about giving it to that little brat Erni!

Chen Jianguo hesitated a moment, then said in a low voice, "Mom, I was planning to take it back for Erni to taste."

It’s often said that the child who cries gets the candy. Erni knows how to charm her parents better than Dani and Sini, so, among the three daughters, Chen Jianguo likes Erni the most.

Hearing this, Ma Xiulian’s face hardened, "I said Erni wasn’t allowed to eat today, and you still want to give her this precious apple? So now, my words as your mother don’t matter anymore?!

Immediately, Chen Dazhu sternly looked at his eldest son with pipe in hand, "Older man, are you planning to take over the house because your mother and I are getting older?"

It was as if he were ready to use the pipe to strike him dead at any moment, making even Zhao Mei nervous.

Although she knew that her husband was the most filial of the brothers and wouldn’t dare to have such disrespectful thoughts, she was still worried,

But Chen Jianguo didn’t notice, he simply said gravely, "As long as you and Mom are here, the heads of this household will always be my parents!"

Though he liked his second daughter, he also deeply respected his parents, knowing that raising their sons was no easy task.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mei exhaled, quickly urging, "Why don’t you just finish your apple."

So, Chen Jianguo finished the other half of his apple.

But Sanni, who hadn’t gotten a bite of the apple, felt a bit envious of Erni. She envied her for having a father who would think of her, who would save half an apple for her.

Her own father didn’t even glance at her, finishing off his apple in two bites, then smacking his lips to enjoy the flavor for quite a while.

Thus, when Chen Jianye glanced over, he saw his oldest daughter looking somewhat sorrowfully at him with teary eyes.

First stunned, he quickly realized she hadn’t taken a single bite of apple, and could only watch the others eat theirs.

At this thought, Chen Jianye felt a bit guilty and moved by paternal love.

After all, she was his real daughter, his first child, but unlike his youngest daughter whom he didn’t raise himself, he loved his oldest daughter immensely.

He then said to Li Chunhua, "Dear, save a bite of your apple for our daughter."

Li Chunhua’s expression contorted instantly, almost bursting into a litany of complaints, but she managed to choke it back just in time, only saying, "I’m eating for two now."

Hearing this, Chen Jianye’s face showed his dilemma.

As his wife had pointed out, she was likely carrying a son this time, and if he insisted on her saving a bite of apple for their daughter, she would surely pick a fight with him later.

How could he deal with this, in front of his parents and siblings?

Seeing this, Li Chunhua shot Sanni a surreptitious glare: How dare this good-for-nothing hope to eat something as expensive as an apple?!

Even she couldn’t bear to finish a piece of apple in two bites, instead slowly nibbling it away bit by bit.

Sanni then lowered her head, and muttered softly, "Dad, I don’t want it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye was grateful for the out, "Then, next time, Dad will definitely save some for you."
