Chapter 374 She is having a hard time
The next morning.
Chu Mingzhou stood up quietly and touched Lin Anan's ankle again. After making sure there was no problem, he pushed the door open and went out.
"Mom, An An had severe leg cramps last night and some edema. I want to take her to the hospital for a thorough checkup."
Lin's mother was cleaning the main hall with a rag. When she heard what he said, she paused!
She calculated the time and found that Lin Anan was already six months pregnant. "Mingzhou, don't worry. It's common for pregnant women to have cramps. As for the edema, it's probably because you walked too much yesterday. When you're eight or nine months pregnant, you might get swollen even if you don't walk."
Chu Mingzhou's expression became even uglier. "Is there any way to alleviate this?"
"There are ways, but everyone's physique is different..."
"It's okay. I'll try them one by one."
Lin's mother did suggest some folk remedies, which Chu Mingzhou wrote down, but he was still worried and decided to take people to the hospital.
Seeing Chu Mingzhou's bad complexion, Lin's mother's eyes were full of distress. "Mingzhou, I'm afraid you didn't sleep well last night, okay?"
Chu Mingzhou was about to deny it when Lin Anan's voice suddenly came from inside the room.
He walked back quickly and saw his young wife holding her waist to get up. He quickly went forward to support her back and gently lifted her up. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Anan moved her feet and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good."
"Oh, by the way, Mom plans to leave tomorrow, and I have to buy her a train ticket."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. Let's go to the hospital and buy a train ticket for Mom."
After everything was discussed, Lin Anan got up and washed up.
Mother Lin couldn't sit still. Thinking that she was leaving soon, she prepared to clean up the house inside and out. "An An, then let Ming Zhou take you there. Mom won't go."
"That's fine. We'll go buy the train tickets. You pack your luggage and have a good rest."
After breakfast, Chu Mingzhou helped Lin Anan into the military vehicle and placed a soft cotton pad behind her.
Before the car started, he leaned over and tucked her scarf in carefully to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. "I'll try to drive slower. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."
Chu Mingzhou's thumb gently brushed across the faint blue shadows under her eyes. The fatigue of last night seemed to still be engraved on her face, which made his heart tighten even more.
Seeing how nervous he was, Lin Anan couldn't help but laugh, "How can you be so pretentious? You're exaggerating!"
"Be careful. I can't bear to see you suffer."
Although Lin Anan was clearly joking, Chu Mingzhou was more serious than ever.
There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the hospital corridor, and Chu Mingzhou moved between the registration office, consulting room, and examination room with ease.
When the doctor said, "The fetus is developing normally, but the pregnant woman is a little calcium deficient," his tense shoulders finally relaxed.
But when he heard that "edema may be more serious in the later stages", his heart began to lift again and he wrote down every precaution the doctor said.
After the examination, Chu Mingzhou went to get a report. Lin Anan sat on the waiting chair waiting for him, moved his neck and stretched.
"You are such a troublemaker! You have to go to the hospital for a checkup when you are pregnant, why don't you just go to heaven? It seems that you don't feel bad if I don't spend your money! Besides, which woman doesn't give birth? For example, we were still working in the fields before giving birth, and we were fine..."
The extremely harsh and mean words reached their ears, attracting many people to look over.
Lin Anan also looked in the direction of the voice and actually saw an acquaintance.
Shi Lai Di?
I saw Shi Lai Di being pulled by the arm by an old lady and forced to sit on the waiting chair.
Lin Anan was obviously stunned!
Shi Lai Di's eyes were red, and her pregnant belly was slightly bulging under her loose cotton jacket. She bit her lip and dared not refute, but tears kept rolling in her eyes. The looks from people around her made her more embarrassed, and she could only lower her head and stare at her ankles.
It seems that Shi Lai Di is having a hard time, and even her former toughness has been worn away.
The old lady slapped Shi Lai Di on the head and said, "Cry, cry, cry. Hurry up and hold back your horse urine. You may be shameless, but I still have some! Go back after you finish watching this. There's a lot of work waiting for you to do!"
"Mom, stop talking. The doctor at the clinic said my fetus is in an abnormal position. If you don't check it out..."
"Bah! They said that because they wanted to make money, and you really listened to them. If you can give birth to a baby in an abnormal position, you are really a jinx!"
One was standing with her hands on her hips and speaking harshly, while the other was begging in a low voice.
Because the lady was making too much noise, a female doctor who happened to be passing by stepped forward to stop her and said, "Comrade, please don't make a scene in the hospital. This is a public place."
Seeing that the man was wearing a white coat, the old lady softened her tone a little, but she was still unconvinced, "I'm teaching my own wife a lesson, what does it have to do with you? Young people nowadays are so hypocritical, they think a pregnancy is too precious."
Lin Anan looked at Shi Laidi's curled up figure, and thought of the girl who once resisted fate and was strong-willed and brave, but now she has been worn down to the point where she has lost all her edges.
Chu Mingzhou happened to come back at this time. He was wearing a military uniform and was tall and handsome. As soon as he walked over, he attracted a lot of people's attention.
Shi Lai Di also met Lin An An's gaze at this time...
The moment their eyes met, she immediately dodged and moved away.
Chu Mingzhou gently helped Lin Anan up, his movements were gentle, and his tone was low, "Let's go to the state-owned grocery store and buy you some dried shrimps and black beans. I heard they are both good for calcium supplements. By the way, buy some local specialties to bring back to mom, is that okay?"
"good."
"Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
"Let's go and have a look."
The thing people fear most is comparison.
Seeing that Lin Anan was doing so well, not only was she healthy, but she was also pregnant. Standing next to her was Chu Mingzhou, who was a powerful figure at a young age! What's more, Chu Mingzhou was very considerate to her.
Think about yourself again...
Almost in an instant, Shi Lai Di burst into tears.
Chu Mingzhou noticed that Lin Anan's gaze was always on the left, so he followed her line of sight and saw Shi Laidie.
Chu Mingzhou had a slight impression of her, he only remembered that she was from the military compound.
He frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and whispered in Lin Anan's ear, "Let's go." As he spoke, he supported Lin Anan and prepared to leave.
"She doesn't seem to be doing well."
"Never mind, watch your step."
At this moment, the old lady suddenly raised her voice and slapped Shi Lai Di, "We have already checked everything, why are you still dawdling? You still have to feed the pigs, cook, and wash clothes when you go back. Do you think you are a young lady? Hurry up and get up!"
As soon as these words came out, people around her cast strange looks at her. Shi Laidie's face turned red and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
At this moment, she regretted more than ever!
She remembered what Lin Anan once said to her...
I thought of Tang Jingqiao's instigation again.
At that time, I clearly had the opportunity to resist, but I was fooled by Tang Jingqiao and lost my mind, and I lost my whole life! !
