Yao Tongjia, who had just sent her father to prison in modern times, was in a plane crash and transmigrated into a period novel. What? Their family of three are all cannon fodder, meant to make way...
After everyone had left, Yao Tongjia tugged at Xiao Gengwu's sleeve and asked, "How would you feel if your mother had a new child?"
Xiao Gengwu hesitated for a moment: "Did your mother tell you she's pregnant?"
Yao Tongjia shook her head: "I can see it. I guess Aunt Xiao herself doesn't even realize it. Aunt Xiao said before that they would leave it to fate."
"Going with the flow" means that they have sex without using protection. If a child comes, they are happy to have the child; if not, they are content with that.
Xiao Gengwu sat down: "They're married, so it's normal for them to have children. But my mother is getting old, isn't this pregnancy dangerous?"
He's already in his twenties and about to have his own family. It's a good thing that his mother is having a new child at this time, but I'm worried that her body won't be able to handle it.
"Tongtong, could you please talk to your mother? I'm worried that she might think that if she hasn't had children in the past two or three years of marriage, she won't be able to have any in the future, and she won't care. It would be bad if it harmed her health!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "I'll go talk to Aunt Xiao tomorrow!"
The next day, Yao Tongjia went to the hospital to find Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was running, which made Yao Tongjia's brow twitch. What shocked her even more was that she saw Zhang Min.
She actually stuck out her foot just as Xiao Yan was about to run past. If she had tripped, Xiao Yan would have been thrown out, and the child would definitely have been lost.
Sometimes, a miscarriage at an advanced age is more terrifying than giving birth at an advanced age. Yao Tongjia rushed over, intending to pull Xiao Yan over, but she was too far away.
Yao Tongjia disregarded everything else and immediately shouted, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, stop!"
Xiao Yan seemed lost in thought and didn't hear Yao Tongjia calling her. She continued running quickly with a receipt in her hand, and soon tripped over Zhang Min's foot.
Then she lunged forward, and Yao Tongjia felt her legs go weak. She even took out some undiluted spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, intending to force-feed it to Xiao Yan.
She couldn't let anything happen to Xiao Yan, nor could she let anything happen to the child.
Surprisingly, Xiao Yan didn't fly away. Instead, she was caught by a man. Yao Tongjia ran to the man's side, saw the familiar face, and immediately forgot everything: "Master!"
Zhou Kunran sternly asked, "Who are you calling 'master'? Who is your master?"
Yao Tongjia immediately came to her senses: "I call Aunt Xiao Master!"
When Zhang Min saw that she hadn't tripped Xiao Yan, she was immediately furious: "Xiao Yan, you're so charming! Everywhere you go, men hug and cuddle you!"
Yao Tongjia turned around and slapped Zhang Min across the face. Zhang Min's attention was focused on Xiao Yan, and she was shocked to receive a slap. She exclaimed incredulously, "You hit me?!!"
"So what if I hit you? You clearly saw my Aunt Xiao running away, yet you dared to stick your foot out and trip her, making her fall!"
"Where did she fall? Besides, is this road all yours? Can't people even put their feet on it?"
If Zhou Kunran hadn't caught her in time, she wouldn't have fallen. Yao Tongjia threatened, "I'll report this to your superiors. You just wait."
After saying that, Yao Tongjia quickly asked Xiao Yan, "Aunt Xiao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Xiao Yan shook her head: "I'm fine. Wait for me, I'll take this document over first."
Yao Tongjia snatched the document away: "Tell me where to send it? Do you know you're pregnant?"
Xiao Yan was stunned: "What did you say? I'm pregnant? How did you know?"
When Xiao Yan had just married Eagle Eye Man, even though he said he didn't want children, she still often described the outline of a child to him.
But two or three years have passed, and there's still no sign of pregnancy.
Some people spread rumors that Xiao Yan was too old to have children, and that Hawkeye Man was not worth it, so Hawkeye Man released the information.
The rumors were quelled when it was said that he was injured during a mission and had difficulty conceiving, and that it wasn't Xiao Yan's fault. That night, the eagle-eyed man held Xiao Yan close and said, "For me, having you is enough. Besides, we still have Ah Geng."
"The thought of you getting pregnant at such an advanced age makes me wish we had no children and could just live like this!"
After two years of disappointment, Xiao Yan listened to Eagle Eye Man's advice and put aside the idea of having a child. Didn't she want to have one now?
Xiao Yan knew that Yao Tongjia's medical skills had become increasingly impressive in the past two years, and she could diagnose many illnesses with just her eyes!
Now that Tongtong says she's pregnant, then I must be pregnant too. Thinking back to how Zhou Kunran hadn't caught me earlier, I know I would have lost the baby!
Xiao Yan asked Yao Tongjia to deliver some documents for her and ask for leave for her. After getting her clothes, she found a stool and sat down: "Dean Zhou, where have you been?"
"Director Yue wrote me many letters, asking me to go to the Zhou family to see if you were there or not."
Zhou Kunran became nervous: "You didn't go, did you?"
Xiao Yan shook her head: "Your family is so domineering, of course I wouldn't dare go there. But I sent people to stake out your house, and I didn't see you. What's going on with you?"
"What else could it be? It was the elders of the Zhou family who were up to something. They said my parents were going to die and told me to come back immediately! I thought I would come back and go back right away, but I didn't want to come back and get detained."
At this point, Zhou Kunran apologized: "I was planning to go back to the hospital for a quick look, which is why I didn't sign anything for you. I didn't know they would resign for me directly. I'm sorry, it must be troublesome for you to sign anything later."
It is a bit troublesome, but what's the point of bringing up things from the past?
Zhou Kunran knew that times had changed, so he changed the subject: "Let's not talk about them anymore. Are you unhappy here?"
That was really dangerous. If he hadn't seen it earlier and lunged forward, I don't know if he would have survived, but the child would definitely be gone.
Xiao Yan thought of Zhang Min: "I haven't offended her, and I don't know what's wrong with her, but she keeps coming to cause me trouble!"
"If you're causing trouble, it's probably because of a personal grudge, or because you're in someone's way. If it's a woman, it could also be jealousy. She just started by slandering you, so I guess she's mostly jealous of you."
"You absolutely cannot let today's events go unpunished. You have to make a scene. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Only by making a scene will you get things done by the higher-ups!"
Yao Tongjia nodded in agreement from behind: "Aunt Xiao is right. If they are unwilling to deal with Zhang Min, you should just resign. We can support you from now on!"
Xiao Yan joked, "That's great! My daughter-in-law is worried about me, her mother-in-law, and she'll take care of me in my old age! But let me take her pulse now and see how the little one is doing."
Yao Tongjia calmed down and took its pulse. After a few minutes, she said, "Very good, it wasn't frightened. It's a brave creature!"
Xiao Yan immediately exclaimed proudly, "My children are all very capable! Of course, Tongtong is the most capable!"
Yao Tongjia couldn't help but laugh, and even Zhou Kunran laughed. Perhaps he hadn't laughed in a long time, as the muscles in his face were stiff.
Yao Tongjia saw it and said, "Uncle Zhou, you'd better stop laughing. Your smile is too creepy!"
Seeing that Zhou Kunran's smile had faded, Xiao Yan patted Yao Tongjia on the back: "How dare you talk like that?"
