The news of Qiao You's pregnancy came to the attention of Su Wangqiu and Lan Ruozhi the following afternoon.

The two elderly people couldn't wait to see Qiao You.

Helian Jue tried to stop him, but Su Wangqiu punched him twice.

"My sweet little Youyou, let Grandma take a look!" Lan Ruozhi rushed ahead, followed closely by Su Wangqiu, who added, not to be outdone, "And Grandpa too!"

Su Wangqiu quickened his pace and was about to overtake Lan Ruozhi, but Lan Ruozhi glared at him, and he wisely slowed down.

Qiao You leaned back on the sofa with her legs bent. When she saw her grandparents arrive, she quickly tried to sit up straight, but Lan Ruozhi stopped her.

"Youyou, my sweetie, don't move, just lie there, do whatever makes you comfortable." Lan Ruozhi sat down next to Qiao You and then took a cushion to put some down for him.

Su Wangqiu sat opposite, while Helian Jue stood helplessly beside Qiao You.

Qiao You blinked her big eyes, looked at her maternal grandparents, and then at her brother.

The older brother, who had been standing the whole time, patted the armrest he was leaning against, wanting someone to sit down next to him.

"Sweetie, don't worry about him, he should stand there for a while." Lan Ruozhi changed her previous affection for Helian Jue, and her words were full of teasing.

Helian Jue squeezed Qiao You's fingers to reassure him.

"Grandma, why is my brother standing?" Qiao You asked, shaking Lan Ruozhi's arm in a weak manner.

Lan Ruozhi couldn't resist at all and coaxed the child, "Because your brother made a mistake, he has to stand as punishment."

Qiao You wanted to plead for Helian Jue, "Brother didn't do anything wrong."

Lan Ruozhi saw that Qiao You wanted to make an excuse for Helian Jue, so she said, "Let him stand for a while longer. When we were in school, we were punished by standing at attention every day. A little while won't hurt."

"What does my sweet little Youyou want to eat tonight? Grandma will make it for you." Lan Ruozhi tempted her with some food, "Want some dried fish? It's crispy and crunchy."

Qiao You, once again, couldn't help but drool uncontrollably; her grandmother's cooking was superb.

Helian Jue learned his cooking skills from Su Shu, who in turn was taught by Lan Ruozhi.

Therefore, in conclusion, if we set aside the biased view of Helian Jue, Qiao You would find that his grandmother's cooking is better than his brother's.

"eat."

"Grandma, Youyou wants to eat this," Qiao You replied, her eyes sparkling.

Then Lan Ruozhi immediately slapped her thigh and stood up, assuring him, "Wait, Grandma will do it right away."

Su Wangqiu immediately said to Qiao You in a friendly tone, "Grandpa, you should go and take a look too."

He Lianjue's expression immediately changed, his face hardening. "Stay with him properly and make amends for your sins."

Helian Jue stood ramrod straight, looking exceptionally honest. "Yes, Grandpa."

As soon as Lan Ruozhi and Su Wangqiu disappeared from sight, Qiao You immediately went up to them, calling out, "Brother."

Are Grandpa and Grandma angry?

Helian Jue, holding the cute little fish, said, "No."

Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother were all standing up for Xiaoyu, but it was indeed his fault.

The little fish had only recently come of age; she was still a child herself, when unexpectedly she became pregnant with another baby.

"Your brother will handle it, baby, don't worry."

Qiao You nodded. If his brother couldn't handle it, he couldn't either.

"I want to eat dried fish," Qiao You muttered as he lay on Helian Jue's lap.

"Brother, I feel this is so strange."

Helian Jue looked down at Xiaoyu's innocent and bewildered face. "What's so strange?"

"I'm so hungry."

“It wasn’t like this before.”

He used to crave all sorts of delicious food, but not as much as he does now, especially after Aunt Qingyue told him yesterday that he suddenly started craving it a lot.

Yesterday, my brother brought out the roasted chicken wings, still piping hot, and told me to let them cool down a bit before eating, but he couldn't wait at all.

Ignoring the heat, I took a bite to satisfy my craving, and ended up with a small blister on my lip that hurt terribly.

As soon as Grandma mentioned dried fish, Qiao You immediately wanted to eat some.

Knowing that her grandmother was making dried fish in the kitchen, Qiao You couldn't sit still and wanted to go and see.

"It's okay, baby. If you want to eat, then eat." Helian Jue knew it was because of the pregnancy. He had already asked his mother yesterday. "The baby in my belly is growing. It's him who's craving it, not the baby."

"Really?"

Helian Jue answered very affirmatively, "Of course."

Hmm, don't worry, little fish. (jpg)
