Chapter 203: Chapter 205 Hurting Mother’s Heart

After quickly finishing his meal, he exclaimed with exaggerated surprise, "Oh my God! How can fish be so delicious?! It’s too good! Even better than bear paw!!"

Chen Erbao was utterly infatuated with the flavor, he playfully inched closer to flatter his sister, "Good girl, Guibao, look at the many goldfish in the tank, could you give me some next time?"

"Okay." Helian Qiao nodded. She was willing to share a bite with her elder brother.

Hearing this, Chen Erbao began to jump around in happiness, smacking his lips with a face full of satisfaction.

However, the Chen family all knew about his exaggerated reactions, and it simply amused them.

A fish without oil could never be compared to bear paw meat!

But this braised fish dish was made with quite a lot of pork fat, making it look greasy and leaving them all yearning for it.

Li Chunhua was especially drooling. Being pregnant, her nose was much more sensitive than others. She could smell even a slight fishy odor, but all she could smell was the mouthwatering aroma of meat!

Based on this alone, she wished she could snatch the entire plate of fish to eat on her own!

So she couldn’t help but look at Ma Xiulian with a fawning smile, "Mom, as you know, being pregnant, I can’t stand fishy smells, but I don’t smell any fishiness from this fish. Could you cook one of these goldfish for me at lunch?"

She hadn’t tried to take the plate of fish from the girl, and there were over ten goldfish left. Surely her mother, considering she was carrying a child, would agree.

However, Ma Xiulian decisively responded without thinking, "No! I’ve told you, all the goldfish are Guibao’s, no one is allowed to take them!"

More than anything, she was reluctant to share something her darling Guibao was so fond of eating with others.

Seeing her mother-in-law not leaving any face for her, Li Chunhua instantly felt humiliated and her eyes filled with tears, as if she had been severely wronged.

Chen Jianye also thought his mother was being unfair to his wife, after all, she was carrying his son.

If there were only one or two goldfish, it would be different, but there were so many left and it wasn’t like these were game animals Guibao herself had hunted.

So if Guibao could eat goldfish, everyone else in the household should be allowed to as well.

But he was so accustomed to his mother’s dominance over the years, he dared not voice his disagreement, only frowning in disapproval.

Zhou Zhaodi noticed this and rolled her eyes, "Third sister-in-law, mother only said you couldn’t eat the goldfish, she didn’t say you couldn’t eat other fish. Look at you, about to cry. If people who didn’t know saw this, they would think mother was mistreating her pregnant daughter-in-law!"

She even started to feel sorry for her mother-in-law for having such a foolish son and daughter-in-law.

If it were her, she would probably have been driven mad, chased her son and daughter-in-law out the door with a broom.

At her words, shame flooded Chen Jianye’s face. His mother never said she wouldn’t let Chunhua eat other fish.

He must have been quite thick-headed!

Fortunately, he hadn’t voiced his thoughts earlier, otherwise it would have hurt his mother’s feelings.

After a sneaky glance at his mother’s stern face, he turned to Li Chunhua and chastised her in a low voice, "Enough. Mom didn’t hit or scold you, what are you crying about?!"

This made Li Chunhua feel even more frustrated and humiliated.

Zhou Zhaodi felt a lot more satisfied seeing this. Then she noticed her young niece was eating at a rapid pace, so she hurriedly said, "Guibao, eat slowly. Be careful not to choke on the fish bones!"

Although her mother had just removed the fish bones, she was still worried about the tiny ones.
