The 65-year-old rural mother-in-law let her granddaughter cry: I just like my grandson, but I can’t help it. Is she happy because she values ??boys over girls?

The 65-year-old mother-in-law is extremely patriarchal. She only puts food on the table for her grandson. My daughter sheds tears of grievance. What should I do?

During the Spring Festival, my husband and I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. To be honest, I was originally unwilling to come back because my mother-in-law has the old idea of ??favoring sons over daughters. Since I gave birth to a daughter, I have been reluctant to come back. He has always had a bad attitude towards me.

I usually try my best to make up for the relationship between me and her, buying all kinds of clothes and supplements, but our relationship has never eased. My brother-in-law’s wife only gave her two hundred yuan. She always praises her money to everyone, which is really unfair.

What happened this year made me feel even more chilled. We all agreed to go back together during the Chinese New Year. Naturally, my brother-in-law and his family also went back. During the New Year’s Eve dinner, there was a pot of chicken drumsticks that I personally cooked. Yes, it tastes very good. Everyone likes to eat it, which makes me feel a little satisfied.

But the incident also started because of this pot of chicken legs. When there was only the last chicken leg left in the pot, my daughter and brother-in-law's son both wanted to eat it. Now we were in a bit of a dilemma.

I originally wanted to give my daughter to her brother (my brother-in-law’s son is older than my daughter), but when I saw my daughter’s aggrieved and longing eyes, I couldn’t go on, and my brother-in-law’s son had already passed away. After eating three chicken drumsticks, my daughter only ate one.

Just when everyone felt a little embarrassed, the mother-in-law stood up and gave the chicken legs to her grandson, and said: "Boys should eat more, grow taller and stronger." ?

My daughter's tears of grievance were rolling in her eyes. She said firmly to her grandma: "Grandma, my brother has already eaten three, and I only ate one. This chicken drumstick should be mine." . ?

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law replied: ?Why do girls eat so much meat? Eat more vegetables and you will grow beautiful in the future! ?

As soon as she finished speaking, her daughter burst into tears: "I don't like grandma anymore!" ?After saying that, he left his seat and ran out.

I glanced at everyone in embarrassment. My husband was also a little dissatisfied with my mother-in-law's actions and said: "Mom, you are too partial. What will your children think?" ?

But the mother-in-law remained unmoved and replied confidently: ?Is it reasonable for you to give birth to a girl? I just like my little grandson, and there’s nothing I can do about it! After saying that, he turned around and looked at his grandson lovingly, muttering: "My dear grandson, eat slowly and don't choke." ?

Oh, I sighed deeply in my heart and chased my daughter out. I found my daughter sitting on the floor in the room holding her legs and crying alone. My heart felt like needles pricking me. When will my daughter I have suffered such grievances. #MarriageandFamily#

I walked over and hugged my daughter gently, comforted her softly, and promised to make chicken drumsticks for her when she got home. She would only eat them by herself, and no one was allowed to snatch them from her. Suddenly she slowly became happy.

When I went to bed at night, I told my husband that I should go back to my parents’ house to pay New Year greetings the next day. It was not suitable for my daughter to stay here. Fortunately, my husband is a sensible person and agreed to my request, and we returned to our parents' home the next day.

The world is so big and full of wonders. I’m really speechless. It’s already 2021, and there are still people who are so serious about favoring boys over girls. Don’t pay too much attention to it and say no. To put it nicely, the old man is getting older, and after all, he still has to live his own life.

Just don’t let things like this leave a shadow on your child’s psychology, as it will have a huge impact on her.
