Liu Meiyu would rather believe that she was overthinking things and had gotten sick from it than believe that she might be pregnant.

Yingyue frowned slightly.

It's hard to persuade my sister-in-law.

Deeply ingrained ideas are not easily changed.

"How long have you had these symptoms, sister-in-law?"

She decided to try a different way of asking the question.

Liu Meiyu thought about it carefully and replied, "It's been more than two months."

She's really carefree. She hasn't had her period for over two months and feels nauseous and vomiting all the time, but she doesn't want to think about the possibility of being pregnant.

Yingyue wasn't an obstetrician, so she wasn't good at those things.

"How about I call Dr. Min to take a look at you?"

Min Yu, who lives next door, works in obstetrics and gynecology and is more skilled at these things.

Liu Meiyu felt a little awkward. "This...it's not necessary...Dr. Min is an obstetrician and gynecologist, and I'm not pregnant..."

"sister in law."

Yingyue interrupted Liu Meiyu, "I think you're pregnant."

Liu Meiyu opened her eyes wide and looked at her.

They still don't seem to believe it.

Yingyue's attitude was firm, "It would be safer to have Dr. Min take a look at you. Otherwise, if you are really pregnant but lose the baby because of your own negligence, you will regret it too late, sister-in-law."

After being persuaded by her, Liu Meiyu finally nodded slowly.

"good."

"Then let Dr. Min take a look."

A few minutes later, Min Yu gave her diagnosis.

She also believed that Liu Meiyu was pregnant, but still in the early stages of pregnancy.

"In early pregnancy, your belly doesn't show obvious signs of pregnancy, which makes you overlook the fact that you might be pregnant."

"However, under normal circumstances, if menstruation is seven days late, then it is reasonable to suspect that you may be pregnant."

Especially in cases like Liu Meiyu and Zhao Wenming, where they don't use contraception at all.

The chances of getting pregnant are higher.

Based on her twenty years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology, Min Yu was 90% certain that Liu Meiyu was pregnant.

Liu Meiyu was dumbfounded.

Min Yu went back to the next room.

Liu Meiyu sat at Yingyue's desk, her head bowed, staring blankly at her still flat stomach.

"Am I really pregnant?"

She was originally told by doctors that she could only have one child in her life, but many years later she became pregnant with her second child.

Liu Meiyu thought it was too dreamlike.

For a moment, I didn't know how to react.

Yingyue sat back down on the stool opposite her. "Sister-in-law, congratulations!"

Liu Meiyu looked up at Yingyue's innocent smile and forced a smile herself, still asking in disbelief, "Little sister, am I really pregnant?"

Yingyue could understand Liu Meiyu's feelings.

This is like someone sentenced to death being suddenly pardoned and allowed to continue living.

This is a huge shock, and it's normal to not believe it for a while.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to share this good news with Instructor Zhao?"

Yingyue asked, "Instructor Zhao will be very happy to hear that."

When her husband was mentioned, Liu Meiyu realized, "It's not certain yet. I'll wait and wait before I tell him."

If she tells him now, but then doesn't get pregnant, it will make Old Zhao happy for nothing.

Perhaps we should wait a little longer.

Yingyue nodded, respecting Liu Meiyu's decision.

"Did you remember what Dr. Min just said about things to pay attention to in early pregnancy, sister-in-law?"

Even if she doesn't believe she's pregnant yet, she still needs to pay attention to things during early pregnancy, especially during this time, when she shouldn't have sex.

Otherwise, it would be bad if the baby in her womb got hurt.

Liu Meiyu remembered it.

"good."

Shortly after Liu Meiyu left, it was time to get off work.

Yingyue had money, so at noon she took her sister-in-law to the canteen in the family compound for a delicious meal, and then bought two pounds of pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat at the supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound.

"Take it back and keep it at home. Your brother will make it tonight."

Yingyue looked at the pork belly in her hand, a smile curving her lips; she was in a very good mood.

"We grow green beans in our backyard, and we'll have braised pork with green beans for dinner tonight."

Huo Qing made the suggestion.

"Okay, I like green beans too."

"Make another cucumber salad."

When it comes to delicious food, Yingyue has a lot of ideas.

The two women, sister-in-law and aunt, returned home, and Yingyue placed the meat in a basin of water in the kitchen.

It's a bit hot today; it would be nice if they bought a refrigerator.

Thinking of the refrigerator, Yingyue touched the envelope in her pocket, wondering how much it would cost. Should she ask Huo Cheng when he returned?

In the afternoon, as Yingyue went to work, she was worried that the meat might spoil in such hot weather.

Fortunately, she didn't have many patients in the afternoon, so she had plenty of time to worry about her flesh.

The weather was very hot, and the hospital's bungalows were like ovens.

Even with the windows open, the wind blowing in is hot.

Zhao Zhiyuan and Jiang Danhua from next door came to talk to her, and she learned from them that it wasn't this hot last year.

"What about before?"

Lying face down on the table, barely able to breathe and unwilling to move, Yingyue laboriously lifted her eyelids and looked at her two colleagues in the office.

Zhao Zhiyuan shook his head.

Jiang Danhua also spoke up, "I heard from my aunt that it's never been this hot before. It's really rare to see such a hot day."

"Hmm, that's probably the prelude to a typhoon or a storm."

The person slumped over the table answered listlessly.

Zhao Zhiyuan and Jiang Danhua both felt it was somewhat unlikely.

"typhoon?"
