Chapter 173: Chapter 174: Still Not Completely Stupid

Now that all the delicious food and drink are given to that little monster, and not to her grandchildren, when she’s old and unable to work, her grandchildren surely won’t be willing to take care of her in her old age and provide for her until the end.

Without anyone to provide for her, she could only be frozen or starved to death. What a pity!

Li Chunhua nodded her head repeatedly in complete agreement, isn’t that just the truth!

Ma Xiulian ignored them, but stared sharply at Chen Jianye and asked, "Third brother, do you also think this way?"

Fearing to lie, Chen Jianye reluctantly nodded his head: "...Yes."

After all, in this day and age, almost everyone thinks the same way - raising a daughter and marrying her off fulfills a parent’s duty.

But for some reason, under his mother’s sharp gaze, he felt an inexplicable pang of guilt and shame.

To Ma Xiulian, his answer was no surprise, nor did it upset her, because that was once her belief too.

Only after her own daughter married did she realize that a parent’s concern does not simply disappear.

However, she guessed that Chunhua and her husband probably won’t ever worry about their daughter. They should be grateful if Chunhua doesn’t visit their in-laws to freeride.

Forget it, don’t think about it. These thoughts only upset her.

So she returned to the main topic, and said sternly, "Setting all else aside, compared with other fathers in our Chen family, do you think you’re doing a good job as a father?"

Chen Jianye was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "I am not doing well."

If he compared himself with his in-laws or even the Song family next door, or even other families, he’d feel he’s doing a not bad job as a father.

Because he doesn’t beat his daughter at every whim, or deprive her of food and warmth, or make her do all the hard and dirty work.

But compared with his own father and his two older brothers, he does indeed fall short.

Then he heard his mother say in a neither salted nor sweet tone, "You’re not completely stupid."

Chen Jianye’s face immediately flushed red, and he began to wonder if he really was that stupid since his mother didn’t hold back her harsh words.

Ma Xiulian didn’t bother with his internal struggles, she continued to ask: "Then do you think your wife is a good mother?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua became immediately anxious: What does mother-in-law mean by asking this? Is she thinking about sending her back to her parents’ house?!

At this thought, she quickly begged for mercy, "Mom, I was wrong, I will definitely treat Sanni and Guibao well in the future!"

Her eyes were full of panic and fear, believing that if she were to be sent back to her parents, she would be in a predicament.

The old Mrs. Li glared and shouted: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that? Why is my daughter not qualified? She has given birth to three children for the Chen family and is even pregnant with another!"

Each additional person means one more mouth to feed!

And the daughter is still pregnant, eats more, but can’t do any work!

Upon thinking this, she immediately had the impression that her mother-in-law is doing this on purpose. She purposely finds an excuse to dismiss her pregnant daughter-in-law who only eats but can’t work, back to her parents’ house and let them provide for her!

Well done, Ma Xiulian, within her mind she is cunningly calculating!

But she, Wang Dahua, is not a stupid person who will be taken advantage of, she wouldn’t even let a grain of rice be taken from her!

So she immediately grabbed Chen Jianye’s arm, wailing loudly: "Jianye, you can’t let your mother drive Chunhua back to her family. She’s still carrying your child in her stomach!"
