Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 445 - 446: If you don’t eat, then don’t

Chapter 445: Chapter 446: If you don’t eat, then don’t

Li Chunhua stared with conviction, "We only have a few bowls at home. If she keeps breaking them every now and then, what will we use to eat? Plus, a bowl now costs two cents, our family can’t afford to keep replacing them!"

Chen Jianye closed his eyes, not willing to argue with her. He decided to let his eldest daughter have her meal at the table tonight and that’s it.

Zhao Mei sat on the bed, sipping millet porridge which also had three eggs in it.

She had fainted after giving birth and just woke up not long ago. The hot millet porridge was steaming and smelled fragrant.

The best thing was that she finally gave birth to a son for her husband!

At this moment, Zhao Mei felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if she was sitting up with a straighter back.

"Mom, I want a taste." Erni stood by the bed, looking at her pleadingly.

Usually, Zhao Mei would give in to her wheedling and let her eat, but this time she hesitated: "But I need to breastfeed your little brother. If I don’t eat enough, I won’t produce enough milk, and then your brother will be hungry."

Erni pouted and coaxed, "Just one bite."

She stared at the steaming bowl of millet porridge longingly, her mouth watering.

Zhao Mei had a troubled look on her face, but Chen Jianguo sternly chided, "Erni, can’t you be more understanding?! Didn’t your mom just say, she needs to eat to breastfeed your brother!"

What if their son goes hungry?!

Erni was taken aback, she didn’t expect her dad to yell at her over such a small matter. Immediately, her eyes welled up with tears, and she shouted, crying: "I won’t eat!"

She turned around and ran back to her own room.

"Erni——"

Zhao Mei immediately said to Dani, "Dani, go see her, comfort your sister."

"Got it, mom." Dani nodded and followed her sister.

Zhao Mei then turned to her husband, "Don’t be so harsh with our daughter."

Chen Jianguo mumbled, "From now on, everything good at home should be saved for you, so that our son can grow up healthy and strong!"

They finally had a son, and he deserved only the best!

Every time she thought about her son, Zhao Mei’s heart would soften. She lovingly looked at his little face, cherishing every moment.

She also hoped that her son could be as chubby and cute as Guibao was when he was young.

After Dani entered the room, she saw Erni crying on the bed, and quickly comforted her, "Erni, your mom just gave birth and needs to recover. She only didn’t give you the porridge because she needs more nutrition. I know you always understand things. Stop crying."

"I just wanted a sip to satisfy my craving." Erni sat up, pouted, and complained.

Her parents were never so stingy with food before.

Dani kept nodding, then coaxed some more: "I know, I know. Your dad was just worried about your mom and little brother. You saw what happened last night, right?"

Erni felt better again, after all, she witnessed how scary the situation was last night. They all feared that they might lose their mother. Fortunately, in the end, both the mother and the child were safe.

Little did she know, her own hardships were only about to begin.

After waking up from their nap, the Chen family picked up their hoes and began working in their fields. Along the way, many villagers asked about Helian Qiao’s situation.

"I heard this morning that Guibao fell ill? Even the village’s barefoot doctor couldn’t help, so they had to send him to the town?"

"How’s the child doing?"

"Guibao always seemed strong and energetic, he doesn’t seem like someone who would fall seriously ill!"
