Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 107
Chapter 107: Still Not Hungry Enough
But when the meal started, they were dumbfounded!
There was only a small plate of braised rabbit, which was placed in front of Helian Jiao and Gu Tingyun. Obviously, there was no portion for others.
She blurted out subconsciously: "Why is there only this much?"
She heard that the dead girl caught two fat wild rabbits.
Ma Xiu Lian glared at her: "What? Do you think being pregnant is like having a golden nugget? You should have a share of all the delicious food? Even the city walls are not as thick-skinned as you!"
Li Chunhua never expected that she would be scolded so mercilessly by her mother-in-law just because she asked a question. She felt angry, embarrassed and aggrieved, but she dared not say a word, for fear that her mother-in-law would bring up the issue of sending her back to her parents' home again.
The others were also startled and immediately withdrew their greedy eyes from the rabbit meat and started scrambling to eat the last pot of wild boar meat in the house.
No one cared that the meat had gone a little stale; everyone still ate it with gusto and wanted another big bowl of it!
Erni in the inner room smelled the meat and kept licking her lips with her tongue.
She had eaten two and a half small sweet potato cakes in the morning and had worked in the fields for a whole morning. She was now starving.
Erni couldn't bear the pain of hunger any more, so she opened the door and walked out, bowing her head and admitting her mistake to Ma Xiulian with red eyes: "Grandma, I was wrong. I will never waste food again, and I will never be jealous of Guaibao again!"
But he was secretly staring at the braised rabbit in front of Helian Jiao from the corner of his eye, feeling very uncomfortable.
She was starving, but Guaibao was eating rabbit meat with big mouthfuls.
Ma Xiu Lian said "hmm" without even raising her eyelids, and had no intention of asking her to sit at the table for dinner.
Erni bit her lip and begged softly, "Grandma, I want to eat."
After she finished speaking, her stomach growled loudly. Helian Jiao heard it, turned around and looked at her in surprise, "Second sister, why are you standing here without eating?"
The little princess was not present at dinner yesterday, and no one mentioned this to her specifically. Plus, there were many people eating at home, so until now she hadn't noticed that Chen Erni was missing from the table.
Erni thought: It's all because of you, a troublemaker!
Although she didn't say this aloud, Ma Xiulian was very smart and could see at a glance that she was resentful of her granddaughter.
Apparently I'm not hungry enough!
She said calmly, "She wasted the food, so grandma punished her by not letting her eat for a day."
Helian Jiao frowned upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Second sister, how can you waste food? If you waste food, you will be struck by lightning!"
The little princess was simple-minded but not stupid. She knew that her family was so poor that they couldn't even afford rice, and they could only eat meat once every one or two months.
It was because her grandparents loved her that they steamed rice for her every day and often hid the meat for her alone.
Ma Xiu Lian smiled and praised her: "Guaibao is right. If you waste food, you will be struck by lightning! Our Guaibao never wastes food. She always eats it up completely."
Erni was thinking indignantly in her heart: If she had eaten meat and rice for every meal, she would be able to eat it all up without leaving any!
However, in the afternoon when she was working in the fields and felt dizzy and weak in her limbs due to hunger, she would wolf down even a sweet potato cake, let alone meat and rice.
But now even eating sweet potato cakes is a luxury for her!
She had to finish the rest of the work with tears in her eyes, otherwise her grandmother would be so cruel that she would not let her sit at the table for dinner tomorrow.
