Chapter 12: Preferring Sons over Daughters

Listen, what a well-behaved child, why doesn’t Mrs. Du like her?

"Yaya, dear, grandma can't eat, can you eat some for me?" Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth and showed a kind smile like a wolf grandmother, asking Little Red Riding Hood to lower her guard.

She is a little girl after all. Seeing her grandma smiling at her, her eyes lit up.

"Grandma really can't eat it?"

"Yeah, grandma really can't eat anymore."

Lo and behold, Little Red Riding Hood took the bait.

"Then Yaya, help grandma eat some." The little girl raised her head and spoke with a milky voice.

"Then thank you Yaya."

Baiyunxi fed her spoonful after spoonful, and the little girl squinted her eyes in enjoyment, with a look of satisfaction on her face, which made those watching feel sour in their hearts.

Food that she once thought was ordinary was so precious here.

In this house, eggs are hard to come by.

After swallowing half of the egg soup, Yaya patted her belly.

"Grandma, Yaya is full too."

"When there is something delicious to eat in the future, can grandma take Yaya with us?" A child over three years old only eats a little bit, and Mrs. Du really doesn't care about her.

"Grandma is having a great day today."

Yaya raised her head, and she didn't know whether it was because she ate egg custard, or because she smiled so kindly, which made the little girl a little bolder.

Bai Yunxi was stunned when she heard her granddaughter's innocent tone. In her memory, although the original owner had not abused her, he had not ignored her either.

Ever since Du became pregnant, the original owner had been hoping that she would give birth to a baby. The Bai family's first grandson should be a boy.

It's a pity that the Du family failed to live up to their expectations and gave birth to a girl, Fianzi, and was still struggling to survive. The original owner was unhappy and treated both Du family and her daughter poorly.

But she is also afraid of outsiders gossiping. As a lady who holds the title of minister, her reputation must not be tarnished.

Therefore, even if he saw Du Shi upset, he would still give him an egg and a packet of brown sugar every day, and the rest would be gone.

These things are reasonable for a normal pregnant woman, but Du's dystocia has hurt her body and she should ask a doctor to take care of her.

In fact, the original owner also prepared a lot of postpartum supplements in advance, including brown sugar, eggs, red dates, lotus seeds and longans, which were full...but because Du Shi gave birth to a girl, they all were taken away.

Mrs. Du also knew what her mother-in-law meant. She gave birth to a girl, but she was not welcomed by her mother-in-law and did not dare to mention it to the doctor.

Privately, she mentioned it to Bai Anchen, saying that she was not in good health and was afraid that it would affect her next pregnancy, but the man ignored her at all and said that she should burn incense if her mother did not blame her for giving birth to a girl. What kind of doctor should she see?

It's all pretentious.

Mrs. Du felt aggrieved, but she never dared to mention it again, but the way she looked at her daughter also changed. Not only was there no motherly love, but there was also a hint of resentment.

The original owner once overheard Mrs. Du complaining that her daughter was a debt collector and a loser, which was her disaster.

The original owner didn't care at the time, but now that she thinks about it, how innocent is the little girl?

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi put the bowl in the corner of the cabinet, stretched out her hand to hold Yaya in her arms, felt the little girl's stiff body, and sighed again in her heart.

He picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, coaxing softly,

"So good, grandma, can you be nice to Yaya every day from now on?"

"Really?"

Yaya raised her head, her big black grape-like eyes staring at her cutely, which made people feel distressed just by looking at her.

"Of course it's true. Grandma never lies."

When Bai Yunxi mentioned the name grandma, she felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.

Ah~, what kind of grandma, she doesn’t want to be.

But looking at the little girl's ignorant eyes, she couldn't bear it.
