Chapter 652: Chapter 652 Pregnancy Chapter 652: Chapter 652 Pregnancy “But I want to let our family know about our relationship sooner. I’ve already met your parents last time and got their approval. I also want to bring you in front of my family as soon as possible. It would be a nice surprise for them,” he said.
Zhou Xiaomin said shyly, “What if Grandma and Grandpa don’t like me?”
“That won’t happen. They are easy to get along with. Besides, with Qiaoqiao there, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“But we haven’t told Qiaoqiao about us. If we keep it from her, won’t she be upset?”
“We just didn’t want to distract her from her studies. Now that she’s back, we’ll make it public, and she definitely won’t mind. I know Qiaoqiao’s temperament.”
“What should I bring for my first visit to your house?”
“Don’t worry about that; just wait for me to pick you up,” he reassured her.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Siyan went to ask his supervisor for leave.
After Luo Qiao hung up the phone, she went around the market to get a sense of things and then found a secluded place to take out two black fish from her space.
The black fish were not available in the market now. She has not supplied He Yujie with fish for a long time, not since she had set up the pond in the yard. She hadn’t fished since then; the black fish from her space were only for her own family’s consumption.
She also took out two chickens, five pounds of pork belly, and five pounds of tenderloin. Craving spicy crayfish, she prepared a bagful.
By the time she got home, her Big Brother was already back, helping Grandpa move vegetables back from the field. Seeing Luo Qiao returning, he hurried over to help her.
While Luo Qiao was not paying attention, he slipped a hundred yuan into her pocket. He had participated in several competitions in the past six months and won a decent amount of prize money, so he definitely couldn’t let his sister bear the burden alone like before.
Luo Qiao had noticed it already, but she didn’t say anything because she saw her sister-in-law coming out of the house. She didn’t know if her sister-in-law was aware of the money and she didn’t want to cause trouble for her Big Brother. She decided to talk about it privately later.
No sooner had she set down her things when her sister-in-law Woo Yunmei handed her thirty yuan, “Qiaoqiao, take this.”
“Sister-in-law, I can’t take this money,” she said.
“Qiaoqiao, you must take it. I know you’re a little rich girl, but as your brother and sister-in-law, we can’t just take for granted what we receive. Listen to me and keep it.”
Just as Luo Qiao was about to say something, she saw Grandma coming out with money, and at that moment, everyone started to laugh.
Luo Daoren said, “This time, let Grandma handle the money for you. Everyone is back today; we’ll set some rules later.”
After Grandpa finished speaking, Luo Qiao didn’t take anyone’s money and just ran away. It was too frightening.
It was too hot outside, so she went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes before coming down.
Zhou Guifang joked, “Look how scared you got, I’ve never seen anyone run away from money before.”
Luo Qiao hugged her grandmother, “Grandma, you know, I want to do something for the family. Sister-in-law just said it herself; I’m a little rich girl, aren’t I?”
Zhou Guifang tapped her on the forehead, “Without rules, there is no squareness. If this goes on too long and becomes a habit, they’ll all come to expect it as a given from you, and we can’t have that.”
Woo Yunmei came in from outside, “Grandma, just tell me what I should do.”
Zhou Guifang smiled, “Start by cleaning the vegetables. Let Grandpa handle the fish and chicken.”
Woo Yunmei went to grab a basin to pick vegetables, but a fishy smell hit her, and she abandoned the basin, turning and running outside. She made it to the courtyard before vomiting violently.
Zhou Guifang followed her out and patted her back, “Feeling any better?”
Woo Yunmei nodded, “I’m fine now, Grandma. I don’t know why I suddenly felt nauseous.”
Luo Qiao handed her a glass of water and glanced at her grandmother, “Grandma, is Sister-in-law pregnant?”
Zhou Guifang smiled without speaking and helped Woo Yunmei sit down, “Why don’t you feel your sister-in-law’s pulse to find out?”
Luo Qiao was somewhat excited. She might become an aunt, “Sister-in-law, come, let me feel your pulse.”
After checking the pulse carefully twice and confirming it was a slippery pulse, Luo Qiao beamed, “I’m going to be an aunt, Sister-in-law, you’re going to be a mom.”
At that moment, Grandpa and Big Brother came through the gate.
Hearing Luo Qiao’s words, Big Brother was first stunned, then he threw down what he was carrying and ran over.
