People were coming and going in the county hospital, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Gu Sireng hurriedly shuttled between the windows, busy with the hospitalization procedures.
He was filling out forms and communicating with medical staff. Beads of sweat were already oozing out of his forehead, but his hands never stopped moving.
At this time, Wu Mengyue was sitting quietly on the hospital bed, chatting with the lady in the next bed.
The old lady looked at Wu Mengyue curiously and asked, "Comrade, that busy young man just now is your husband, right?"
Wu Mengyue smiled and nodded, responding, "Yes, Auntie."
Then, the old lady asked again: "Where is your mother-in-law? Why didn't she come over?"
Wu Mengyue was slightly stunned, then replied: "My mother-in-law is no longer alive."
Hearing this, the old lady showed a worried look, frowned and said: "Oh, how much do you two young people know!
It would be reassuring if there was an elder around to look after you.
Look, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm busy taking care of her all day long, taking care of every aspect of her life. My son doesn't even have to show up."
After saying that, he smiled smugly.
Wu Mengyue knew in her heart that this lady just wanted to take this opportunity to praise herself.
But considering that we would have to be in the same ward for some time, it would be difficult to offend her.
So I forced a smile and said, "Auntie, you are really amazing!"
After receiving Wu Mengyue's praise, the old lady's smile became even brighter, and she continued excitedly: "That's not an exaggeration, I am a well-known good mother-in-law in our village!
He does things very efficiently and without any ambiguity.
There are three daughters-in-law in my family. The first two gave birth to big fat boys. I was the one who took care of them during their confinement.
This time my young wife is about to give birth, and I predict it will be another big fat grandson!"
After saying that, the old lady couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Wu Mengyue glanced at the aunt's daughter-in-law, who was also holding her big belly with a look of anticipation, and said nothing.
After Gu Sireng completed the formalities, he walked quickly towards the ward.
As soon as he opened the door of the ward and saw Wu Mengyue lying on the bed, his heart tightened instantly. He hurried to the bed and asked softly with a worried look on his face, "How is it?
Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
He was very afraid that Wu Mengyue would be hit by the ox cart on the way here!
Wu Mengyue shook her head slightly, but kept one hand on her stomach. She said weakly, "I just feel a little hungry. I really want to eat meat buns."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were still looking at Gu Sireng eagerly, like a child waiting to be fed.
After hearing this, Gu Sireng subconsciously glanced at the other two people in the ward besides them, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Then he turned to look at Wu Mengyue and asked worriedly, "I'm going out to buy you some meat buns now. Is it okay for you to stay here alone?"
Before Wu Mengyue could respond, the lady in the bed next to him couldn't help but speak: "Hey, young man, just go ahead and do it!
I'm here with your wife, I'll help you look after her, I'm sure nothing will happen!"
However, Gu Sileng did not easily believe the words of this strange old lady. He still insisted on hearing the answer from Wu Mengyue herself.
So he turned his gaze to Wu Mengyue again, his eyes full of concern and expectation.
Finally, Wu Mengyue smiled and nodded at Gu Sireng, saying gently: "Go, I'm really fine, don't worry."
Seeing Wu Mengyue's certainty, Gu Sireng finally felt relieved. He nodded slightly, then turned to the enthusiastic aunt and said sincerely, "Then I'll ask you to help me take care of my wife.
If there is any emergency or she feels unwell, please help call a doctor, thank you!"
The old lady patted her chest generously and promised: "Don't worry, young man, I'm here to watch over you. I will definitely not let anything happen to your wife!"
However, just a few minutes after Gu Sireng left the ward, Wu Mengyue and the aunt's daughter-in-law both felt stomach pains...
