The three of them spent a little too long in the mountains, and when they got home it was almost time to start work. They quickly washed their faces and then jogged over to gather.
Perhaps because of Liu Xiu's incident, Zhao Xuelin's face was a little grim, but his tone when talking to the three of them was still kind: "What are you doing running to the mountains in the middle of the day?"
When they came back from the mountain earlier, many people saw them. The three of them had already discussed their explanation. Yun Huaying answered on their behalf: "We were out of kindling at home, so we took advantage of our lunch break to get a few baskets of pine needles."
They did manage to get three full baskets of pine needles, but the pine needles were just an excuse; the baskets were actually filled with game, much the same as yesterday's catch.
They were all educated youth, but Liu Xiu, as an old educated youth, had serious ideological problems. The three newcomers were worry-free and easy to deal with. They didn't ask him for help when they had something to do, but tried their best to complete it themselves so as not to cause him any trouble.
Comparing the two, Zhao Xuelin had a better impression of them and spoke in a more positive tone: "If you don't have enough firewood, you can borrow some from my family and other neighbors first, and then go to the mountains to chop it in your free time. If you don't have enough strength to carry firewood, you can ask others for help. The people in our team are quite simple and honest, and it's common for neighbors to help each other."
The Tian family had received a great favor this morning, and Tian Ye immediately responded, "Yun Zhiqing, when you have your firewood cut later, I'll help you carry it."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Tianye."
The three of them arrived late, but the last one to arrive was Li Xiami. However, he was not late either and always arrived on time.
The team leader quickly assigned tasks, still dividing the work into teams. After making the arrangements, he said, "Okay, get to work. Whether it rains or not tomorrow, everyone will have a day off. Everyone should assign sensible people to look after their children. Don't let them go to the river to play anymore."
Yun Huaying and the other two followed the group. Lin Xiaolan was the team leader of their group. Apart from the three of them and Zhao Qingqing, the others were all young wives, all of whom were good at work.
Lin Shan was exhausted from digging the ground with a hoe these past two days, and several blisters appeared on the palms of her hands. Today, Yun Huaying came over and switched workstations with her, putting her in charge of planting seeds. She and Jiang Yuan used hoes to turn the soil over and cover it.
They had just started working when a thin young woman with pale lips came over, holding her abdomen and speaking weakly: "Xiaolan, I feel very uncomfortable today. My stomach is always aching. I need to rest for a while. I can't turn the soil anymore. Let me help plant the seeds later."
"If you don't feel well, don't come. Go home and rest."
Lin Xiaolan had a good relationship with her. Seeing that her lips were abnormally pale, she said, "Qu Dan, you should go back and lie down to rest. If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the health center."
"No need, I'll just sit here and rest for a while." Qu Dan waved at her.
Yun Huaying was standing next to her, only two meters apart. She carefully observed her expression as she spoke and said, "My dear sister-in-law, you'd better go back. You are in the early stages of pregnancy, and overexertion may cause miscarriage."
"What?" Qu Dan was stunned.
"Yun Zhiqing, you just said she is pregnant?" Lin Xiaolan heard it clearly and her expression was exaggerated.
The others now all gathered around, their expressions varied. One of them, rather impatiently, pressed forward, "Yun Zhiqing, did you say Qu Dan is pregnant?"
Before she could answer, she continued, "That's impossible. Qu Dan can't possibly get pregnant. The doctors said she can't have children. They said her uterus is deformed and she can't have children."
The person involved, Qu Dan, originally only had pale lips, but now his face was completely pale, and his body was trembling as he sat paralyzed on the ground. "I, that, Yun, Yun Zhiqing, I really..."
"I can tell from your face that you're pregnant."
Yun Huaying put down her hoe, walked towards her, and said, "Let me check your pulse."
"Hey, hey." Qu Dan immediately handed over his wrist.
Yun Huaying held on for less than five seconds before letting go, her face expressionless. "You are indeed pregnant. This pulse shows that you are over forty days pregnant. However, your physical constitution is not good, your Qi and blood are insufficient, and you have overworked and damaged the fetus."
Seeing that she was really pregnant, Qu Dan suddenly covered her stomach and jumped up in shock: "I'm really pregnant, with a child?"
"Oh my God, Yun Zhiqing said you had a miscarriage, and you're still jumping around? Sit down quickly."
Lin Xiaolan immediately pulled her to sit down and said to Zhao Qingqing beside her, "Qingqing, go call Li Xiami over and tell him that his wife is pregnant and her condition isn't good. Tell him to rush over and take her to the hospital."
"Okay." Zhao Qingqing immediately ran away.
"Are you really pregnant?" The young wives next to her all had complicated expressions.
The man who had spoken quickly before confirmed again: "Yun Zhiqing, is she really pregnant? Were all those doctors saying that before all false?"
"There are many types of uterine malformations. Some women can get pregnant, but the chance of pregnancy is lower than that of normal women." Yun Huaying gave some medical knowledge popularization.
"Wow..." Qu Dan suddenly burst into tears after hearing this.
She has been married to Li Xiami for almost three years, but she has never been able to conceive. She has tried all kinds of folk remedies, but there is no good news in her pregnancy.
Later, everyone advised her to go to the city hospital for a check-up, so she and her husband went. It was later confirmed that the problem was her uterus being malformed and she could not have children. After she came back, the attitude of her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law towards her changed drastically, and they often scolded her as a chicken that doesn't lay eggs.
She had wanted to divorce her husband before, but Li Xiami disagreed and had a fight with her family, so the couple separated and lived separately. Last month, they were discussing adopting a child and planned to ask her parents for help when they had a break from the rain. It would be best if they adopted a boy, who would provide for them in their later years.
But unexpectedly, she was pregnant!
This news was like winning the jackpot for the couple.
"Okay, don't cry. Having a child is a great joy. Don't cry." Lin Xiaolan hurriedly comforted her.
Yun Huaying also said, "Sister Qu, you are weak and have a minor problem with your uterus. Your pregnancy is very unstable in the early stages and you've even had a miscarriage. Don't cry. Excessive emotional fluctuations can affect the fetus."
When she heard that it would affect the child, Qu Dan immediately covered her mouth and stopped crying, and wiped away her tears.
The tears stopped as soon as they stopped. Yun Huaying didn't think she was acting. She was doing this purely for the sake of the child. She asked again, "Are you a little dirty today?"
Speaking of this, Qu Dan nodded repeatedly, still a little embarrassed: "Yes, a little bit. I thought it was just my period."
"This is the symptom of threatened miscarriage, but it's still mild. Go back and lie down and rest more. You'll recover soon." Yun Huaying comforted her professionally.
