Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Sanni Stands Up

But Li Chunhua was beautiful, and the third son had his eye on her, insisting on marrying her. The only option was to add just a bit more to the bride price in order to bring her into the family.

It was initially assumed that the third son’s wife, born into a family that valued sons over daughters, would at least not excessively scold or beat her own daughters, if not shower them with love.

Indeed, before Xiaobao was born, this was the case, and she could even be considered somewhat good.

But once she had a son, Li Chunhua only had eyes for her son. Her daughters became as insignificant as weeds by the side of the road, not receiving even a second glance from her.

And then it got worse. Whenever feeling upset, she would vent her anger on her daughters. But since she never struck too hard, her mother-in-law, being the grandmother, didn’t step in. After all, which child hadn’t been spanked in those days?

But what she never expected was that this fool would go as far as kicking her child behind the scenes.

Seeing Sanni sitting silently on the ground with a pale face, Ma Xiulian knew this was not the first time it had happened, and her face darkened even further.

Even if she didn’t like her granddaughter all that much, Sanni was still a member of the Chen Family!

Listening to her mother-in-law saying those words, Li Chunhua’s face turned gloomy, and she immediately shrank back, stuttering "M-mother, I...I..."

She wanted to say something in her own defense, but at the sight of her mother-in-law’s threatening glare, she was too afraid to make a sound. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, fearing that her mother-in-law might send her back to her own family.

But Ma Xiulian did not scold her. Instead, she turned to Sanni who was sitting on the ground, "Sanni, stand up."

Sanni used her hands to push herself off the ground and stood up, enduring the pain in her thigh and buttocks.

Li Chunhua’s kick had been delivered with full force. If it weren’t for the fear of harming her unborn child, she would have directed the kick at her stomach.

Upon seeing the little girl’s face contorted in pain but not making any noise, Ma Xiulian said seriously, "Remember, you are the daughter of the Chen Family, and as long as you’ve done nothing wrong, no one can punish you indiscriminately. The next time your mother hits you for no reason, run away first. Your grandmother will protect you when she returns."

Sanni, a resilient and intelligent girl, was easier to guide than wasting breath on the foolish Li Chunhua, who did not learn from her own mistakes.

Sanni was taken aback, tears welling up in her eyes, and she nodded her head vigorously, choking back sobs, "Yes, I will remember!"

Li Chunhua’s face changed, what did her mother-in-law mean by that?!

She was fine with not being able to discipline that stubborn little girl, but now she couldn’t even discipline her own eldest daughter?! What authority and face would she have left in this household?!

Seeing her showing dissatisfaction, Ma Xiulian said sharply, "This is the Chen Family, not the Li Family where they neglect their daughters. If you miss your old life, go back to it."

Having a daughter-in-law as dumb as a pig, she couldn’t help but become the evil mother-in-law.

Li Chunhua began to tremble and shook her head furiously, "I don’t miss it! I don’t miss my old life at all!"

If she were to return to her earlier life, which was worse than an animal’s, she’d rather die smashing her head against the walls of the Chen Family.

Ma Xiulian continued in a harsh tone, "Since you kicked Sanni for no reason, you will do all the chores in the Zhou house."

With teary eyes, Sanni looked at her fierce grandmother but was no longer afraid.

Li Chunhua was stunned. These days, household chores were barely less strenuous than farm work!

There were more than ten people in the Chen Family, large and small, just cooking and doing the laundry were enough to wear a person out, to say nothing of the work at both ends of the day.
