"I think you've gone mad! You're actually cursing our unborn child! My brother and sister-in-law are just unlucky; it's all because my sister-in-law's health is poor that she gave birth to a child with Down syndrome!"

"We're both so healthy and blessed, how could we possibly have a child with Down syndrome! Shut up right now! Say another word and I'll slap you!"

Jiang Xiaoxia gritted her teeth: "No matter what you say, I'm going to do this prenatal checkup! I'm using my own money, it's none of your business!"

She still remembers how her older brother and sister-in-law raised their child by constantly checking his urination and feeding him. The child was six years old and still couldn't speak or take care of himself. He was really silly and drooled, unlike other children.

After being diagnosed with Down syndrome at the hospital, the once happy family was devastated, and the sister-in-law spent her days in tears.

The doctor told my older brother and sister-in-law that if they had come for regular prenatal checkups during their pregnancy, it might have been able to avert this tragedy.

Seeing her sister-in-law, who had gone mad, and her brother, who was supporting the whole family on his own, Jiang Xiaoxia still remembers this lesson to this day.

I thought Xu Gang would support me after experiencing the tragedy of his elder brother and sister-in-law's family, but I never expected him to be so indifferent.

She even claimed that she was physically strong, unlike her older brother and sister-in-law who were both skinny, and that she would definitely not give birth to a child with Down syndrome.

Jiang Xiaoxia was furious. Even if it meant spending her own money, she insisted on having the prenatal checkup to ensure the baby's safety.

“Look at this woman, her husband knows how to be considerate of his wife and takes her to the prenatal check-up. He’s doing this for the sake of the child. I’m spending my own money and you’re trying to stop me.”

"Xu Gang, are you even a man?! Don't you have any self-respect?!"

"Jiang Xiaoxia, have you said enough?!"

Xu Gang could no longer hold back and raised his hand to slap Jiang Xiaoxia.

Jiang Xiaoxia instinctively closed her eyes.

The expected pain did not occur.

A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out.

However, the person who slapped her was not Jiang Xiaoxia.

It was Xu Gang.

Xu just lost control and tried to make a move.

But Ye Nian'an was faster.

Apart from Chu Yan, no one else could see what Ye Nian'an's movements were.

The slap landed squarely on Xu Gang's face.

Xu Gang, a grown man, was slapped so hard that he saw stars and almost couldn't stand up. He covered his face and stared blankly at Ye Nian'an.

"You dare to hit a woman in front of me, especially a pregnant woman! You really have the nerve to do that!"

Still not satisfied, Ye Nian'an kicked Xu Gang hard again.

That kick was incredibly powerful.

With the spiritual spring space's blessing, Ye Nian'an's strength was astonishing at this moment, kicking Xu Gang until he screamed in pain.

Where did this crazy woman come from? How can she have such strength?

"Niannian, let me handle this."

Although Chu Yan knew that Ye Nian'an was skilled, he was, after all, his disciple whom he had personally trained.

However, now that I'm pregnant, I can't handle such big emotional fluctuations, lest something go wrong.

Chu Yan grabbed Xu Gang and said, "While I can still stay calm, realize your mistake. Prenatal checkups are for the sake of your future, your wife's future, and your children's future."

"Don't say it's a small amount of money, even if it's a large sum, you can't skimp on it! You're a husband, about to become a father, and you're disregarding the lives of your wife and child. Are you even a man?!"

"I...I...I know I was wrong. Please don't hit me. I won't do it again. I'll never do it again. If you want to have a prenatal checkup, then have it. I won't stop you."

Under the immense pressure emanating from Chu Yan, Xu Gang dared not resist and immediately covered his head, admitting defeat.

"Xu Gang, you're such a coward! I misjudged you!"

Jiang Xiaoxia was utterly disappointed in Xu Gang.

First, she obstructed my prenatal checkups, then she even committed domestic violence, and now she's groveling and begging in front of others, bullying the weak and fearing the strong...

How could I have ever fallen for such a jerk? I disobeyed my parents and insisted on marrying him, even at the cost of my life.

It's true what they say, those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences.

I'm so regretful now.

What's done is done, so at least the baby in my belly must be born healthy and safe.

After Xu Gang ran away, Jiang Xiaoxia bowed earnestly to Chu Yan and Ye Nian'an: "Thank you for helping me get rid of this stinky man."

“He’s completely insane. His own brother and sister-in-law have suffered such a thing, but he doesn’t care at all. He even said they were just unlucky.”

"I'm terrified just looking at him... Is he even a normal person? With a husband like that, a father to my child, I really feel like my future is bleak!"

Ye Nian'an didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her, "Girl, go register and have your prenatal checkup first. Don't get too emotional. I'm a barefoot doctor from the village."

“Your thinking is absolutely correct. Prenatal checkups are very important for a pregnant woman. It’s about taking responsibility for your own life and your child’s. As a mother, you are absolutely right to do what you are doing!”

With Ye Nian'an's affirmation, Jiang Xiaoxia felt more confident and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister. I'll go register right away. If all else fails, I'll just go back to my parents' house."

"Although I've had a bad experience with men, I'm still my parents' daughter. The child is innocent. As for Xu Gang... let him be. If he doesn't realize his mistake, I won't go back!"

After seeing Jiang Xiaoxia off, Ye Nian'an couldn't help but sigh: "Lu Xun once said, 'Studying medicine can't save people.' I finally understand... There is still a long way to go in popularizing basic medical science."
