Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Erni’s Punishment

Ma Xiulian completely disregarded her, focusing her sharp gaze on Erni: "You only see me favoring Guibao, but why can’t you see how much you’ve benefited from her? If it wasn’t for Guibao, I wouldn’t even think about buying sweets. And wouldn’t you guys be snatching them from her pocket?! Haven’t you been eating the game that Guibao brings back each time? Even the red-braised fish on the table tonight was given to us because people like Guibao!"

Ma Xiulian always had a clear head. Even the head of the big team did not make the Gu camp commander look at them differently, so why should the Chen Family enjoy any privilege?

It was all because her Guibao was so likable!

Erni bit her lip without speaking, but the stubbornness was clearly written in her eyes. The three characters for "I don’t accept it" were bright and clear.

Seeing that she did not know how to repent, Ma Xiulian didn’t bother to waste her breath preaching to her. With a stern face, she ordered: "You’re not allowed to eat tomorrow as a punishment. Now go back to your room and reflect."

If she didn’t punish Erni this time, others might follow her example and tease her Guibao in secret!

Chen Erni let out a "wa" and began to cry, expressing genuine fear and regret.

After all, in those days, missing a meal would make your stomach burn with pain. Not to mention going hungry for a whole day while still needing to work.

Zhao Mei, watching her merciless mother-in-law, mumbled: "Mom, this... this..."

She always respected her mother-in-law, but she was really nervous about pleading for her daughter.

Ma Xiulian looked at her expressionlessly: "Anyone who pleads for her will starve with her!"

Therefore, Zhao Mei immediately backed down, and Erni ran back to the inner room with a "woo woo woo" cry.

Zhao Mei found it heart-wrenching to hear this, and even the red-braised fish in her mouth didn’t taste as delicious.

Apart from her and Dani, the rest of the Chen Family were eating happily.

Especially Li Chunhua, who couldn’t eat wild boar meat, she was gobbling up the food like a wolf.

No one even knew what kind of fish it was. It had no small bones, and every bite was meaty. They didn’t have to worry about fish bones getting stuck in their throats.

It had no fishy smell, and it was so juicy and delicious that people couldn’t help but want to swallow their tongues.

But there was only so much fish. The Chen family, with more than a dozen mouths to feed, had polished it off in the blink of an eye, leaving only the tail and some flesh on the bones.

So she slapped her chopsticks on Sanni’s hand who was trying to grab the fish, and turned her head to please Ma Xiulian: "Mom, since I can’t eat wild boar meat because I’m pregnant, why don’t you give me the rest of the fish?"

Seeing there wasn’t much fish left, Ma Xiulian simply nodded.

Li Chunhua immediately happily picked up the plate of fish in front of her, and began to eat the fish dipped in oil bit by bit.

Chen Xiaobao followed suit, eating with oil dripping from his mouth.

Although the others didn’t have their fill, they were satisfied with the wild boar meat.

After dinner, just as they were about to tidy up the dishes, Ma Xiulian heard her granddaughter’s loud and full voice, "Grandma, I’m back!"

"Ah!"

She immediately responded with a loud voice and turned to walk out of the house.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw her granddaughter holding onto the factory manager Gu’s wife with her left hand and his son with her right, laughing and jumping happily.

As soon as she saw her, she immediately broke away from Mother and Son Gu and ran towards her with short steps.

"Grandma!"

Ma Xiulian quickly squatted down and hugged her granddaughter, who came at her like a cannonball, "Oh, my precious gem!"

Jiang Manyun stopped and stood at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Auntie, Guibao has been sent back to you. We’re going back."

Ma Xiulian warmly invited her to stay, "Sit down and have some water before you go."

Jiang Manyun gently declined with a smile: "No, Old Gu is home alone."

Although her husband was a tough guy outside, he was sentimental towards his family. If he was left alone at home, he would make a fuss with her.
