Chapter 172: They are all the same
But he mulled over it again and again, yet he couldn’t think of any differences, so he responded truthfully: "I feel they’re all the same."
Hearing this, Ma Xiulian wished she could pry open his blockhead and see if it was stuffed with straw!
She secretly took a deep breath, enduring her impatience, and said, "Let’s talk about your father first. The number of times he has held Honghong since she was a child is no less than your brothers’, but the number of times he hit her is less than you five combined."
Chen Jianye didn’t think too much and answered, "Boys are naughtier than girls, so they definitely need to be spanked more often. Moreover, as your eldest sister is the only girl between you and dad, it’s normal for you both to dote on her."
For the first couple of years after his eldest daughter was born, being his first child, he also used to dote on her quite a lot.
Ma Xiulian then stared at him questioningly and asked, "Then why is Sanni often spanked despite not being naughty?"
Chen Jianye was momentarily choked up, muttering, "If they don’t make any mistakes in the future, I won’t let Chunhua hit them anymore."
He finished speaking and glanced guiltily at his eldest daughter standing at the doorway.
He really had not noticed before that his wife went so hard on their daughters. If he had known, he would have stopped her.
Seeing his guilty expression, there was not a hint of turbulence in Sanni’s heart.
Now that she had her grandmother’s backing, she no longer had to endure her mother’s arbitrary beatings and scoldings.
Li Chunhua, who was on the side, quickly intervened, "Yes, mom. Ever since you spoke up last time, I haven’t laid a finger on her!"
