Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Don’t Let Mom Hear It

But as Helian Qiao grew older, Ma Xiulian’s preferential treatment towards her became more and more apparent.

She could eat egg custard every day, every meal was prepared with fine grains, she was never short of snacks in her pocket, and she even had beautiful new clothes to wear every season.

Dani and the others, however, could only eat coarse grains for their meals, could not dare to take more when there was meat or vegetables, let alone snacks.

Moreover, they had never worn new clothes. Dani wore clothes altered from adults, and Erni picked up her hand-me-downs, which were then handed down to Sanni when she outgrew them.

If Helian Qiao was a grandson, Erni wouldn’t have any complaints, but the same worthless girls received treatment that was worlds apart.

So, all of these turned Erni into a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Grandma is too biased, why does she get to hog all the good things?!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down Erni’s face, and her voice unconsciously rose.

Zhao Mei didn’t expect her second daughter to harbor such deep resentment and was momentarily at a loss at how to respond.

Dani, with a worried face, covered her mouth: "Shush, keep it down, so Grandma doesn’t hear."

Looking at her tear-streaked sister, she comforted tenderly, "I’m also envious of Guibao, but Grandma doesn’t treat us granddaughters poorly. We are already living better than other girls."

Simple and honest people tend to be easily satisfied.

But Erni, whose mind was clouded by jealousy, couldn’t listen to a word, and only felt full of grievances.

Zhao Mei was also heartbroken for her daughter and blamed herself: "It’s all my fault, I haven’t given you a brother. That’s why I don’t have the nerve to demand better treatment from your grandmother."

Chen Jianguo had the same thought, without a son, he felt he didn’t have the spine to stand up for his family, and hence, he couldn’t fulfill his duties to the ancestors of the Chen family.

That’s why, even though his mother favored his niece and treated his three daughters differently, he never uttered a word of complaint.

Coming out to use the toilet, he overheard Zhou Zhaodi from around the corner:... the eldest one’s family are all fools!

Didn’t they see, she gave birth to two boys, yet the grandmother’s favorite is still Guibao.

Moreover, the money that the grandmother spent on things for Guibao wasn’t earned by them. Otherwise, she, Zhou Zhaodi, would have been the first to object.

The next day, when Jiang Manyun brought her son over, Ma Xiulian asked her: "Comrade Jiang, Tingyun gave Guibao some beef jerky and canned beef. Do you and manager Gu know about it?"

She asked this in front of the two children, thinking it could also be a chance to educate them.

Without the consent of parents, one should not arbitrarily give out or receive valuable things from home.

Gu Tingyun’s fair and handsome little face was very calm, showing no guilt of being "exposed."

"Madam, you can just call me Manyun," Jiang Manyun responded with a gentle smile, "We are both aware of this."

Ma Xiulian did not expect that she actually knew about it, but wasn’t sure if she truly didn’t mind, or if she felt embarrassed to ask for it back.

But at least little Tingyun wouldn’t be punished when he went home.

Then she took out the prepared twenty yuan and said, "My eldest daughter said those things are very expensive, and we can’t take such advantage of you. Here is twenty yuan, I don’t know if it’s enough to cover the cost."

Upon hearing this, the several daughters-in-law of the Chen family had the same thought: The grandmother must have gone mad!

For just those few things, she actually wants to give away twenty yuan!
