Throughout the process, Tang Xianfang always felt inexplicably timid when she saw Zhou Hongyu, and she had an indescribable feeling. She was very afraid to face Zhou Hongyu.
In Aunt Zhou's mind, is she a scheming woman who uses her child to climb the social ladder?
Tang Xianfang's eyes lit up when she first saw Zhou Hongyu, but she remained listless afterward. She knew nothing about what the two families had discussed regarding her marriage to Chang Pengfei.
After the marriage was agreed upon, Zhou Hongyu picked up her bag and stood up, but then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Tang Xianfang.
Tang Xianfang looked nervous: "Aunt Zhou..."
Zhou Hongyu nodded slightly to her and asked, "Xianfang, what's the condition of the baby in your belly now?"
child……
Tang Xianfang unconsciously touched her stomach and gently shook her head: "I haven't been to the hospital for a check-up yet... um!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang's mother reached out from behind and patted him on the shoulder.
Tang's mother looked at Zhou Hongyu with shame and said, "My dear in-law, how dare we take Xianfang to the hospital for a check-up in this situation? We can only go to the hospital openly after we get our marriage certificate!"
Zhou Hongyu was taken aback. She had oversimplified things. With the family planning policy and the current conservative atmosphere, Tang Xianfang would be bombarded with criticism if she went to the hospital for a checkup.
Seeing that Zhou Hongyu was friendly and showed no sign of disdain, Tang's mother immediately smiled and pulled Tang Xianfang's hand, pushing her to Zhou Hongyu's side.
Tang Xianfang looked unwilling; she didn't know how to adjust her mindset to face Zhou Hongyu.
Tang's mother pressed down hard and laughed, "My dear in-law, once Xianfang and Pengfei get their marriage certificate, you take her there. I won't join in the fun. I'll stay home and pray for you, that Xianfang will give birth to your grandson smoothly!"
It has to be the eldest grandson!
Although Tang's mother was usually muddle-headed and couldn't manage household affairs, she was particularly shrewd in this regard.
The eldest grandson of the Chang family's eldest branch is old enough to run errands, but he still refuses to get married and have children, insisting on going to school instead. Marriage and having children seem a distant prospect. As for his son-in-law's younger brother, he is about to go abroad and has a bright future, and he is even less old enough to get married and have children. The son-in-law is truly unique in this regard.
Once Xianfang gives birth to the Chang family's eldest grandson, she'll take everything she should and shouldn't have.
Xianfang, that brat, still has the nerve to say that her family is biased. Her father sent her to a wealthy family, how is he being biased!
Tang Xianfang turned her head away with a look of unwillingness to listen. "Grandson, grandson, does she have to die just because she gave birth to a daughter?"
I'm so annoyed by what you're saying!
Zhou Hongyu's eyes dimmed, realizing that Tang's mother hadn't finished speaking, and she nodded slightly to Tang Xianfang.
"Xianfang, I'll take you to the hospital after we get our marriage certificate."
Tang's mother's attitude shows that she believes a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, and she has no intention of caring about her anymore. So Tang's mother can only work harder. Sigh!
Sensing the coldness in Zhou Hongyu's tone, Tang Xianfang nodded silently.
Her relationship with Aunt Zhou shouldn't have come to this point; it's all because of that bastard!
Chang Pengfei, standing obediently between his two elderly fathers, awaited their orders, but couldn't help feeling a murderous aura. He looked up at a certain place.
It really was Tang Xianfang!
Chang Pengfei bared his teeth and retaliated fiercely.
Tang Xianfang glared at him defiantly.
...
Zhou Hongyu sighed, wondering if the two of them could have a good life after getting married.
*
A few days later, after receiving their marriage certificate, Zhou Hongyu took Tang Xianfang to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
The obstetrician and gynecologist examined the X-rays taken by Tang Xianfang again and again, completely baffled.
He asked the same question he'd asked several times before: "Young lady, are you pregnant?"
Even if Tang Xianfang was slow-witted, she could tell something was wrong, but she still answered the doctor seriously: "Yes, I'm pregnant!"
Zhou Hongyu frowned; things didn't seem to be going well!
The obstetrician-gynecologist asked a series of questions, which Tang Xianfang answered one by one. At the same time, her heart was in her throat; something seemed wrong!
After repeatedly confirming the results, the obstetrician-gynecologist had an answer in mind. He put down the film, smiled without saying a word, and picked up the teacup beside him to drink.
Zhou Hongyu sat beside her. Tang Xianfang was quite anxious about the child's condition. She asked anxiously, "Doctor, is there something wrong with the child?"
The obstetrician found the nervous young girl in front of her quite amusing. She said meaningfully, "Young lady, don't worry, because you're not pregnant!"
Who is lying between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Will they have a peaceful day after returning from the hospital today?
The obstetrician-gynecologist suddenly became gossipy.
Not pregnant!
impossible!
Tang Xianfang hurriedly defended herself: "I am a nurse, how could I not know what pregnancy is and what it means to not be pregnant? My current symptoms include loss of appetite, vomiting, inability to tolerate meat, poor mental state, etc., but these are secondary. The most important thing is that, based on the calculation from my last sexual intercourse, I am indeed pregnant!"
The OB-GYN chuckled: "Young lady, since you're a nurse, you should know more about basic physiology. There's no rule that says having sex will lead to pregnancy!"
Tang Xianfang suddenly realized what was happening, her face turning deathly pale. She secretly glanced at Zhou Hongyu, clinging to a last glimmer of hope.
"What's wrong with me?"
"False pregnancy!" the obstetrician confirmed.
"Judging from the date on your marriage certificate, it was only a few days ago. And according to you, you had sex before marriage. That day must have been your first time, right, young lady? Nervousness, anxiety, fatigue, plus constant self-suggestion, are what caused you to have symptoms similar to pregnancy!"
The OB-GYN held up the X-ray and patted it: "Little girl, look here, you have to trust science!"
Tang Xianfang's expression changed drastically, and she quickly turned her head to try to explain to Zhou Hongyu.
"Aunt Zhou, I didn't..."
I know this isn't your fault!
Zhou Hongyu nodded vigorously, the fault lay entirely with that bastard who couldn't control his belt!
Since she wasn't pregnant, there was no point in staying any longer. After leaving the hospital, Zhou Hongyu gritted her teeth and hailed a taxi.
Tang Xianfang's mind was in complete chaos, and she didn't know what to do. Logically speaking, since she wasn't pregnant, there was no need to maintain this marriage, and they should have gone their separate ways. However, she still chose to follow Zhou Hongyu around.
Zhou Hongyu led Tang Xianfang to Shuangdong Hutong.
Chang Pengfei lives in Shuangdong Hutong.
These past few days, Chang Pengfei has been busy preparing for the wedding in Shuangdong Hutong. When he saw the two of them suddenly return from the hospital ahead of schedule, he quickly put down what he was doing and ran over to them.
"Is the child alright?"
"The baby's fine! You're the problem! Because you weren't pregnant at all!"
