Upon arriving at the factory, he first consulted Dr. Zhang, who examined his wife and advised him to take her to the hospital for a check-up. Dr. Zhang also told him that his wife's blood pressure was a bit high.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuyang didn't delay and drove straight to the hospital.

When Wang Qun returned home, she saw Ruan Ruan telling stories to the children and putting them to sleep. She didn't disturb them, but went to the backyard to wash the clothes that the children and she had changed out of.

When she came out again, she saw Ruan Ruan sitting in the living room, writing something in her hand.

"Ruanruan, Yuwei suddenly felt unwell today, and Xuyang is taking her to the hospital now. Do you think I should go see her too?" Wang Qun sat down on the sofa next to Ruanruan and asked her.

Wang Qun noticed He Yuwei's expression was off during dinner; she only ate a few bites of vegetables and didn't touch her rice at all. He was really worried about her condition.

Hearing her words, Ruan Ruan put down her pen. "What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know. She was fine when she woke up in the morning. Around noon, she said she was a little sleepy and went to take a nap. Then I started preparing lunch. Later, Xuyang came back, and I asked him to call Yuwei out for lunch. But when they came out, Yuwei looked very unwell. When I asked her, she said she was just feeling a little unwell and would be fine in a while."

But she's pregnant right now, and it looked quite dangerous to me. After dinner, I had Xuyang take someone to the hospital for a checkup. I don't know how she is now.

"Mom, don't panic. Stay home and watch the children. I'll go call the hospital first. They're probably on their way. We'll only know after they've done the tests. What if it really is just a simple discomfort? Aren't you just scaring yourself?"

"Okay, you go make the call first, I'll stay home and look after the kids."

After that, Ruan Ruan rode her bicycle directly to the duty room in the family compound.

Just as she expected, Zheng Xuyang and the others hadn't arrived at the hospital yet. Ruan Ruan was calling Dr. Jiang. She had started working after the New Year. After discussing it with her family, Jiang's mother transferred her job to one of their nieces. She herself would take the child and go to and from get off work with Dr. Jiang every day. Of course, Jiang Yuli, Gu Jinghe, and the Gu family had discussed giving Jiang's mother 20 yuan a month as a reward for her hard work in taking care of the child. This amount wasn't much. Originally, they wanted to give Jiang's mother her previous salary directly, but Jiang's mother didn't agree. She said that they had to work and raise the child themselves. They had Jiang's father and their brother in the family, so they didn't need them to support her.

So in the end, they reached a stalemate and compromised, reducing the fee to 20.

When Ruan Ruan called Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang's mother was sleeping with the child in the duty dormitory. After receiving the call, Dr. Jiang went to the obstetrics and gynecology department, told Dr. Shen, and then returned to her office.

When Zheng Xuyang arrived at the hospital with his entourage, Dr. Shen was already waiting for them. Upon their arrival, she immediately took them for examinations.

"Don't worry, Dr. Ruan has already spoken to us. Your wife's test results will be out soon," Dr. Chen reassured them as he examined them.

The two said that the doctor started examining them as soon as they arrived, as if he was waiting for them. Now they understood from the doctor that it must have been Auntie who told Ruan Ruan when she got home.

While the two were waiting for the results, Dr. Jiang came over. There was no one there at the moment, so she told the nurse and decided to come and check on them, since they were all friends.

"How's it going? Have the results come out yet? Is Yuwei feeling unwell?" When she came over, she saw them sitting on the chairs, with Zheng Xuyang holding He Yuwei in his arms and constantly comforting her.

"Dr. Shen said the results will be available in a while, but I'm feeling anxious, short of breath, and now I'm also dizzy and have a headache," He Yuwei said weakly, leaning her head on Zheng Xuyang's shoulder.

Based on what she said, Dr. Jiang thought of what Ruan Ruan had mentioned before about high blood pressure. If a pregnant woman has high blood pressure, just taking antihypertensive drugs is not enough. After thinking about it, Dr. Jiang turned around and went to find Dr. Chen.

A short while later, the two came out of the office and immediately arranged a ward for He Yuwei. "Zheng Xuyang, take Yuwei to the ward to rest first, I'll go get the results." With that, Dr. Shen arranged for a nurse to take them to the ward, while he and Dr. Jiang quickly ran to get the test results.

Half an hour later, the two returned. "Comrade He Yuwei, the test results are in. Your current reaction indicates gestational hypertension. There are many factors that can cause this reaction. Generally, it is due to genetic factors. Does your family have a history of hypertension? Other factors include malnutrition in the pregnant woman, mental stress, or placental factors. Because if the placenta experiences ischemia, hypoxia, or other abnormalities during its development, it can lead to elevated blood pressure in the pregnant woman."

After hearing Dr. Shen's explanation, Zheng Xuyang and He Yuwei both thought back to their family members' health conditions. "We've never had high blood pressure. Yuwei, what about your family?"

“We don’t have that in our family either. My mother passed away from an illness, but not from high blood pressure.”

The two went through all the information about their family members and concluded that there was no history of high blood pressure.

"That could be due to the pregnant woman's stress or placental factors. Have you experienced prolonged periods of anxiety, tension, or high stress since you became pregnant?" Dr. Shen continued to ask. She automatically ruled out malnutrition; she had heard how good the benefits were at the pharmaceutical factory. Besides, the two of them were friends with Dr. Ruan, so how could they possibly be malnourished?

"No, we've been so happy since we found out we were pregnant. My best friend and I got pregnant at the same time, and we're happy every day. We even thought of names for the baby and made clothes together. Plus, we have so many friends around us who care about us. We simply don't have time to be nervous or anxious!" He Yuwei didn't believe she was anxious either. It was just her and Zheng Xuyang at home. There were no worries or mother-in-law issues. She was happy every day.
