"What do you mean, you little brat, who am I looking down on? I think it's you I look down on the most.
You just walk away from everything, never asking about it.
This whole mess is being handled by Xiao Yun.
Look at these people, all with their pregnant bellies. Don't you have any sympathy for them? Do you even know what pregnancy is?
Try eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom with a basketball in your arms.
All you do is stand by and make sarcastic remarks."
Wu Shangqing's unprovoked scolding left Guo Xuyang completely bewildered.
"I didn't say anything."
"Get lost. I'm annoyed just looking at you."
With his mother's declaration, Guo Xuyang dared not linger, otherwise, he didn't know what else his mother might say.
He had his pride, didn't he?
There were two new people here, and she didn't even spare him any face.
He really didn't know what he had done to upset his mother.
"Mom, please calm down."
Guo Yiyang quickly stepped forward, patting Wu Shangqing's back as he spoke.
"That's just how he is, don't be angry."
"This little brat keeps trying to sow discord between us. It annoys me just looking at him,"
Wu Shangqing said huffily.
"Mom, he's just joking with you. Please don't take it to heart.
You know what Yangzi is like. We're a proper family.
Yangzi acting out is just because he's jealous of how close we are."
"I've never seen anyone like him. Is it bad for a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along?
He's the one fanning the flames, as if he's afraid the world isn't chaotic enough."
"He's doing it on purpose.
Let's not talk about him. You should eat quickly.
You've been busy feeding Dabao all this time."
"I'm full from being angered by him.
Later, go and check on Xiao Xi by the stream. See if she needs anything and prepare it for her in advance."
"Okay, Mom. You don't need to worry about that.
Yangzi will probably go to Xiao Xi's room to complain by now,"
Guo Yiyang said with a grin.
"Complain about what? He's got nothing to complain about.
You guys eat quickly. The food will get cold and won't taste good."
"I feel like today's dishes weren't made by Dad. The taste is different.
Especially this egg drop soup, Dad never puts cucumber in it,"
Lin Zixuan remarked.
"These were made by Wu Jia. Everyone, please try them and see how Wu Jia's cooking is?"
Wu Shangqing called out.
"It's very good. This large lobster with minced garlic has a unique flavor."
The others nodded in praise, making Wu Jia blush.
"Auntie, sisters-in-law, please point out anything that isn't good so I can correct it next time.
You're praising me so much, I'm getting embarrassed."
"Good is good, and we're telling the truth.
If you come help with cooking in the future, Dad can get some proper rest," Xia Li said.
"This is what we should do.
Cooking one or two meals doesn't take much time,"
Wu Jia replied.
"Besides, most of these ingredients are semi-finished products, making them very easy to cook."
"We just follow along and eat. We've never cooked before, and we don't know how to stir-fry or cook.
If it's about washing dishes, we can do that,"
Guo Yiyang said.
"I do know how to cook, but Dad just won't let me into the kitchen. He says I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient.
Plus, I react strongly to the smell of oil fumes, so I basically eat whatever is served to me,"
Lin Zixuan said.
"From now on, I'll take care of all your meals.
Binbin's cooking is also good. She specifically studied nutrition for pregnant women,"
Wu Jia added.
"Then we're in for a treat," Guo Yiyang said.
"It's better to eat less, otherwise, you'll suffer when you get back," Xia Li cautioned.
Yu'er and Xiao Si couldn't join the conversation.
They found that they had nothing in common with these people during meals.
They were all talking about childbirth or prenatal education, which was very distant for them.
