Chapter 126 Sanni Stands Up
But Li Chunhua was beautiful, and the third son had his eye on her, insisting on marrying her. The only option was to add just a bit more to the bride price in order to bring her into the family.
It was initially assumed that the third son’s wife, born into a family that valued sons over daughters, would at least not excessively scold or beat her own daughters, if not shower them with love.
Indeed, before Xiaobao was born, this was the case, and she could even be considered somewhat good.
But once she had a son, Li Chunhua only had eyes for her son. Her daughters became as insignificant as weeds by the side of the road, not receiving even a second glance from her.
And then it got worse. Whenever feeling upset, she would vent her anger on her daughters. But since she never struck too hard, her mother-in-law, being the grandmother, didn’t step in. After all, which child hadn’t been spanked in those days?
But what she never expected was that this fool would go as far as kicking her child behind the scenes.
Seeing Sanni sitting silently on the ground with a pale face, Ma Xiulian knew this was not the first time it had happened, and her face darkened even further.
Even if she didn’t like her granddaughter all that much, Sanni was still a member of the Chen Family!
Listening to her mother-in-law saying those words, Li Chunhua’s face turned gloomy, and she immediately shrank back, stuttering "M-mother, I...I..."
She wanted to say something in her own defense, but at the sight of her mother-in-law’s threatening glare, she was too afraid to make a sound. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, fearing that her mother-in-law might send her back to her own family.
But Ma Xiulian did not scold her. Instead, she turned to Sanni who was sitting on the ground, "Sanni, stand up."
Sanni used her hands to push herself off the ground and stood up, enduring the pain in her thigh and buttocks.
