University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
K and Deng Jianyan were chatting on the sofa when they saw them come in and stood up. K even went over to help Ye Qiu up and sat him down beside him.
"Dr. Deng, I'm counting on you from now on. Please deliver this child safely so that I, a fifty-year-old, can finally have an heir," K said, his eyes reddening.
People in those days attached great importance to having offspring, especially since it was also a matter of reputation. A famous leader, a person of integrity, would be ashamed if he couldn't even have children.
Becoming a father at fifty is a glorious thing for a man, showing his masculinity, and with his wife of many years, no one can find fault with it. So this was a great joy for Mr. K.
Ye Qiu also had a deep emotional burden after losing her child, so it's fortunate that she now has a child to comfort her.
“Sister-in-law’s pulse is very stable. Just live a normal life. There’s no need to deliberately protect the pregnancy or take any medicine. Don’t eat too much. Sister-in-law is older, so you need to control the baby’s weight. Otherwise, it will be troublesome during childbirth.” Deng Jianyan was almost driven crazy by Master K. He looked to Qin Xiaoyu for help. This Master K insisted on prescribing tonics and wouldn’t listen to any persuasion.
"Sister Ye is in good health, she doesn't necessarily need to take tonics, just listen to the doctor," Qin Xiaoyu advised.
"Congratulations!" Qi Si returned from outside and had his sister-in-law call him over. He offered his congratulations as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother, I should thank you. Come on, it's my treat." K-Master dragged Deng Jianyan and Qi Si out with a torch, and Ye Qiu followed them away.
"If you dare come back drunk again, I won't even let you in the door!" Zhou Yue scolded angrily from behind.
"If Xiaoyue knew you were drunk and even dared to give away your son, you'd be in real trouble," Qi Si said gloatingly.
Zhou Yue originally wanted the lion dance troupe to disband, but seeing that her own children and the children on the street enjoyed it, she took some fruit out and let them continue.
"This brother-in-law is really amazing. No wonder you had triplets in one pregnancy." Qin Xiaoyu now believed in Deng Jianyan's medical skills; he really was quite capable.
Actually, when A Lei went home last time, she asked Deng Jianyan to prescribe some medicine for her. Deng Jianyan only told her to take two doses of medicine to regulate her spleen and stomach, and who knew she would get pregnant. It seems Deng Jianyan used a feint.
“How could the man your sister has her eye on be bad? Do you think he’s just someone who stays at home taking care of the kids?” Zhou Yue said smugly.
Commander Zhou and his mother were naturally happy to see their son-in-law bring them honor.
Ye Qiu's sudden abandonment caught Qin Xiaoyu off guard, so she had no choice but to stay at the shop for a few days.
There's a lot going on right now. Sister Su is good at the details, but she lacks a big-picture perspective and can't take on any major responsibilities. At most, she can be a store manager. The store has hired new sales clerks, and Cheng Fuyue is in training. She hasn't become the store manager, and she's still feeling uneasy about it. She's happy one moment and unhappy the next, and her temper is a bit unstable. Fortunately, Jie Wei is reasonable and has been keeping her in check.
It was fine before Qin Xiaoyu's pregnancy was made public, but now that it's out in the open, A Lei has become quite unscrupulous, spending all his time with Deng Jianyan taking Xiaoyu's pulse.
"You really don't need to do this. Xiaoyu's health is much better than you think." Deng Jianyan was forced into a corner and looked miserable.
The doorbell rang, and he rushed out. The child had just fallen asleep; he couldn't disturb him.
Qin Xiaoyu recognized the person who came in; wasn't that Duozi, one of K-Master's men? A thin, petite woman followed behind him.
"Boss Qin is here too." Duo Zai, ever the friendly type, nodded and bowed as he spoke.
"What are you doing?" Qin Xiaoyu stood up.
“This is my sister. I brought her to see Dr. Deng. She’s been married for six years but still doesn’t have children.” Duozai pushed his sister forward.
Qin Xiaoyu then realized that Deng Jianyan's name had already spread, so why not open a clinic?
Opening a clinic isn't difficult. It's just a house in my own home. I just need to choose a room on the street-facing side. For convenience, I opened a separate door. The high-rise building in Qisi is under construction, and there are plenty of workers. I called a few and it was done in half a day.
A Lei helped me with the paperwork, so it didn't take much effort.
Deng Jianyan originally thought that coming to Guangzhou would just be about being a stay-at-home dad and taking care of his children. He never expected that he would have a day to put his skills to use. Sitting at the table in the clinic, he was filled with emotion.
Sure enough, before the smoke from the firecrackers had even died down, two women came in.
After babbling on and on, Deng Jianyan was dumbfounded; they were talking at cross purposes and couldn't understand each other.
Ah Lei was called in as a temporary translator. The Cantonese he learned was only the basic version; when he actually delved into the rural slang, he was far from proficient.
Seeing a doctor is a big deal, and there can be no room for error.
The maid in the house was from the countryside, and she could understand her, but her Mandarin was not good. Because of her low level of education, her translation was inaccurate.
"Call Cheng Fuyue over." Qin Xiaoyu thought of a way to save the day.
As expected, Cheng Fuyue did a great job. After seeing several patients, Deng Jianyan and the patients were very satisfied.
"Let's keep Xiao Cheng here as my nurse," Deng Jianyan discussed with Qin Xiaoyu.
"I want to stay. I want to study medicine. Studying medicine is a skill, what is selling clothes?" Cheng Fuyue is indeed Cheng Fuxing's sister, she really has a sharp mind.
After settling things off with Deng Jianyan, Qin Xiaoyu was a bit dumbfounded. How could she have lost such a capable assistant? What would happen to her shop? She desperately needed a strong helper.
Now A Lei is keeping a close eye on her, afraid that if her belly gets really big, her whole family might kidnap her.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you call your sister over? We don't need her for Xiao Mengting's side; Xiao Mengting is enough. Xiao Ye is capable enough; don't waste her talent," Tang Wenwen remotely suggested.
When Qin Xiaoyu saw Qin Xiaoye walk out of the airport, she almost didn't recognize her.
She has changed too much.
Qin Xiaoye was originally a cool and aloof person, not fond of small talk, and indifferent to everyone. Now she is extremely depressed, her face devoid of any warmth, as if even taking a single breath would be an insult to the world.
During this time, she worked at Xiao Mengting's counter. Xiao Mengting told her that she worked very hard, but ignored everyone and went straight back to her rented room without saying a word after work. No matter how much she called her, she wouldn't come out.
Qin Xiaoyu was genuinely worried. This time, her psychological trauma was severe, and if she didn't recover properly, it could severely impact her personality. She decided to keep her by her side so she could help her anytime.
It had been agreed that Qin Xiaoye would stay at her house, but Madam Fang insisted that she was too lonely and wanted to move in with her instead. Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to agree. Everything was already there; her slender suitcase was ready to be unpacked.
Mrs. Fang eats according to her mood; sometimes she comes over to eat, and if she doesn't feel like doing anything, she has the servants cook. This time, to welcome Qin Xiaoye, everyone had a get-together, so she came along.
As soon as she came in, she gave Qin Xiaoyu a meaningful look, and the two of them went out through the back door and stood in the courtyard. Commander Zhou had already tidied up the courtyard, which was originally full of tropical plants, lush and green, a feast for the eyes, but no one took care of it, so it grew somewhat unruly.
"Take a look," Mrs. Fang sighed, taking a folded newspaper out of her handbag.
