Guan Wenru was a little confused by what everyone was saying, and subconsciously touched her belly. "I heard that being able to have twins is usually a family trait, but I haven't heard of this in my family or his family!"
Zeng Chunlan raised her voice even louder, "Hey! Whether it's hereditary or not, who can say for sure! I think Xiaoyu has a point! Wenru, your belly can't be hidden! Think about it, don't you eat a lot? And get tired very easily?"
Hua Xiaoyu quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! Twins are definitely more tiring than single births, and the belly grows bigger much faster!"
Xiahenazi smiled broadly, "If they really are two boys, that would be a great blessing! Xiao Guan, you'll be very busy then!"
Just then, Zeng Chunlan suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Oh dear, I just remembered something! I once met an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the market!"
That old gentleman was amazing! His hair and beard were all white; you could tell he had real skills!
Old Li, who sells vegetables nearby, said that this old Chinese medicine doctor's pulse-taking skills, passed down through generations, are exceptionally good, especially at examining women's pulses. He can tell with remarkable accuracy whether a woman is pregnant with twins just by taking her pulse!
Guan Wenru's eyes lit up, clearly intrigued. "Sister-in-law, can traditional Chinese medicine really tell if it's twins?"
Zeng Chunlan patted her chest confidently, "It should be possible. That old Li said his daughter-in-law had a peculiar pregnancy back then, and it was this old man who found out she was pregnant with twins. Later, she really did give birth to two big, healthy boys! It's very accurate!"
"Wenru, your belly looks unusual. Why don't we... go see the old doctor for a checkup? That way we'll have a better idea of what's going on!"
Guan Wenru stroked her pregnant belly, her face filled with anticipation and a hint of trepidation. "Alright, shall we go check it out on market day?"
"Okay, I'll take you to find him on market day!"
...
Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru were indeed concerned about whether they were pregnant with twins, so when they went to the market this week, they quickly asked Zeng Chunlan to take them to see the old Chinese medicine doctor.
Zeng Chunlan led them to a slightly secluded alley near the market.
This old Chinese medicine doctor comes from a family with a bad political background and now lives in a cowshed.
Upon seeing Zeng Chunlan, the old Chinese medicine doctor's eyes lit up slightly. "Young lady, you've come."
Zeng Chunlan handed him the basket, saying, "Sir, please have something to eat first."
The old Chinese medicine doctor didn't stand on ceremony with her.
After he finished eating, Zeng Chunlan explained her purpose.
The old Chinese medicine doctor immediately focused his attention and took Guan Wenru's pulse.
He closed his eyes slightly, his fingers alternately resting on Guan Wenru's left and right wrists, pondering for a long time, his brows furrowing and relaxing, repeating this several times.
