"Mom, here is three thousand dollars, which is all my savings." I handed over the money to her.
"Gaven's face has been so weird lately; it's obvious he lacks nutrition. You are right, Mom!"
My mother's face lit up with joy as she handed the bowl of chicken blood to my nephew. Paisley, who caught a whiff of the foul odor, looked astonished. "Briley, are you feeding Gaven this disgusting thing?"
My mother waved her hand impatiently. "I told you, you wouldn't understand. It's definitely good stuff. Do you think as a grandmother I would harm my grandson?" As she spoke, her tone turned more furious.
Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, I quickly intervened. "Paisley, don't doubt my Mom. It's just raw chicken blood. There's no need to make such a fuss about it."
"Raw chicken blood?" Paisley exclaimed.
"Briley, you want Gaven to eat raw chicken blood?"
A dish she had never heard of was presented as solid food for her son, and Paisley couldn't accept it.
"What's wrong with eating raw chicken blood? I'm telling you, you have a narrow view. This is a great supplement. It can strengthen the body and enhance intelligence. Look at Gaven. He was born so smart. If he eats this chicken blood, maybe he will just become a genius right away.
"The Wiley family has only one boy in each generation. If you delay my grandson from becoming a genius, I will not spare you even though you are his biological mother." My mother threatened fiercely.
"Jocelyn, you've got education. What do you think?" Paisley, not giving up, wanted me to persuade my mother.
In my previous life, I fell for this trick, thinking only of my nephew and buying formula for him. I never expected to become the scapegoat for the whole family, and everyone wished for my death. After I died, they wouldn't even let me rest in peace.
This time, I wouldn't fall for it.
"Paisley, my Mom is right. The blood from a ten-year-old rooster is nutritious. It's not something ordinary people can easily get.
"My nephew is already so smart. Eating the chicken blood will certainly ensure he becomes a genius. Just wait and enjoy the blessings."
Paisley usually lacked opinions. Hearing me support my mother, she instantly felt there was some truth to it.
