Chapter 382 - 383: Making a Fool and Losing Face
Chen Jianye was taken aback and, seeing her plea for help, spoke up in a somewhat weak voice, "It’s wrong for Chunhua to try to steal the red pockets, but it’s not a big mistake. Besides, it’s a fact that Guibao did hit her own mom. Both keep a share of blame, so let’s just let it go."
He never thought that his daughter-in-law would even covet Guibao’s red pocket. After all, Guibao became their niece after she was adopted by the fourth brother.
But Ma Xiulian responded confidently, "Sanni said that Guibao didn’t really mean to hit her, she just wanted to push her away. Guibao is just stronger than most kids, so she accidentally hurt her. If she hadn’t been coveting the red pocket in Guibao’s pocket, none of this would have happened!"
Sanni, standing beside her, nodded in agreement, "Guibao told her she didn’t want to be held. It was her mom who insisted on clinging to her and Guibao just wanted to push her away."
She didn’t know why her grandmother said that, but she was sure her grandma was doing it for Guibao’s good!
When Chen Jianye thought about it, it made sense, and he suddenly felt embarrassed and awkward for how his daughter-in-law had made a fool of herself this time.
Ma Xiulian continued, "Jinbao is almost a year old now, and can be weaned. If you really can’t bear it, carry him back home with you!"
If Chunhua, as Jinbao’s mother, would endure hardship at her mother’s house with Jinbao, then there was nothing she as a grandmother could interfere with.
"Chen Dazhu, you send your daughter-in-law back to her mother’s house now." Chen Dazhu finally made the decision.
