Half an hour later, the group finished looking at the house and returned to the courtyard house.
Seeing that there were people inside and outside the house, Sun Zhengguo lost his mood to sit there.
"Grandpa, Grandma, shall we go back to the courtyard?"
"Alright! If it weren't for waiting for you, we would have left just now." Grandpa stood up and walked out without hesitation.
Anyway, there's a TV in the courtyard, and no one bothers us, so we can watch whatever we want.
Seeing this, Sun Zhengnan and his wife greeted their parents and then followed them outside.
...
The next day was another energetic day. Everyone was busy, some going to school, some going to work.
But Qin Jingru, who was in the backyard of the courtyard house, felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with me? I feel sleepy or nauseous all the time. Could I really have some serious illness?"
Thinking back to this morning, she had overslept. If Xu Damao hadn't called her, no one would have made breakfast.
This has never happened before.
"Could it be that I have something in my belly...?" The more Qin Jingru thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Although Xu Damao can't have children, his father can! Judging by the timeline, it should be about right.
Even though Qin Jingru was a novice, she finally connected the dots to the key issue.
"No, I have to go find my mother-in-law right away."
The more Qin Jingru thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Ignoring her intense discomfort, she hurriedly locked the door and walked out of the courtyard.
"Jingru! Are you going out again?" Aunt Chen, a neighbor, happened to run into her and greeted her casually.
"Yes, Aunt Chen, I've been feeling sleepy and nauseous lately, and I don't know why. I'm thinking of going to my mother-in-law's to see what she has to say."
The speaker meant it, and the listener meant it too. Qin Jingru was creating momentum in advance to avoid the suddenness of the event and the spread of rumors.
After she left, Aunt Li, who had sharp ears, quickly came to ask Aunt Chen.
"Aunt Chen, did I mishear you, or what happened? Given their situation, how could they make you feel sleepy and nauseous? Could they have some kind of illness?"
“Aunt Li, you heard me right, that’s exactly what she said, but we don’t know what happened, so we won’t comment on it to avoid being accused of spreading rumors.”
Hearing what Aunt Chen said, Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat.
She had already been punished a few years ago for spreading rumors following Jia Zhangshi, so she couldn't afford to spout nonsense again this time.
Whether Qin Jingru is pregnant or not, we'll find out when she returns; it's no one else's business.
On Qin Jingru's side, it took her more than twenty minutes to finally arrive at her in-laws' house.
Xu Lianxiang, who was working inside the house, couldn't help but feel uneasy when she saw her daughter-in-law coming over.
There was no appointment today, and Xu Fugui isn't home either. What's this daughter-in-law doing here?
However, now that she has to keep the Xu family line going and appease her daughter-in-law, she can only force a smile.
"Jingru, didn't we agree to come again tomorrow? What are you doing...?"
"Mom, I've been feeling sleepy and nauseous a lot these past few days, do you think it might be...?"
"What?" Xu Lianxiang's eyes widened in surprise. "Has your period stopped?"
"It stopped last month, and I didn't pay much attention at the time. It hasn't come this month either, and I haven't been eating well lately. And...and...?"
"And what? Tell me quickly!" Xu Lianxiang hurriedly asked.
When asked by her mother-in-law, Qin Jingru hesitated but had no choice but to reveal some private information, such as changes in her breasts and lower body.
Listening to her daughter-in-law's intermittent words, Xu Lianxiang, being an experienced womanizer, already understood the situation.
“Jingru, Mom is sure you’re more than 90% pregnant. Come on, Mom will take you to the hospital.”
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lianxiang stopped working, hurriedly went back into the house to get some money, locked the door, and the two headed towards the nearby hospital…
At the hospital, after an hour of examination and waiting, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went into the doctor's office again.
"Doctor, is my daughter-in-law pregnant or not?"
Seeing Xu Lianxiang's anxiety, the doctor gestured to the two of them not to rush, and then she spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Don't worry, Comrade Qin Jingru is indeed pregnant, and she is already two months along. Everything is normal at the moment."
As soon as the doctor finished the announcement, Xu Lianxiang felt a great sense of relief and thanked him profusely.
"Thank you, thank you, doctor."
A smile appeared on Qin Jingru's face as she gently stroked her belly, thinking that this time it was a sure thing.
Regardless, this is the Xu family's offspring. Once she has this child, her position will be as secure as Mount Tai.
No more worrying about being a country woman.
The doctor then gave them a lot of instructions, and the two thanked him again before leaving the hospital.
On the way back, Xu Lianxiang thought to herself that the movie theater where Xu Fugui worked was not far away, so she might as well go and tell him first.
So the two of them took a slightly longer route to Qianjin Cinema, where they found Xu Fugui working in the film rewinding room.
"Hey! What are you guys doing here?"
When Xu Fugui asked her questions, Xu Lianxiang saw that no one was in the room and became a little too happy and smug.
"Honey, I have some good news for you. You're going to be a father! We just got back from the hospital for a checkup, and Jingru has confirmed her pregnancy."
To be honest, when Xu Fugui first heard the news, he was stunned, then overjoyed, and finally furious.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I want to be a father or a grandfather? You old woman, how can you talk so recklessly all day long?"
After being berated by Xu Fugui, Xu Lianxiang finally realized that she had just told the truth and hurriedly tried to explain.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, honey, you're going to be a grandfather! This is a report. We can't read, take a look."
In an attempt to divert attention, Xu Lianxiang had no choice but to produce the report.
After Xu Fugui finished reading, he finally smiled with satisfaction. Then he started taking out money and showering Qin Jingru with concern, practically praising her to the skies.
But now is not the time to be happy; Xu Fugui is, after all, a cunning old fox.
My son is clearly infertile, and if things go wrong, his wife getting pregnant will become the laughing stock of the neighborhood.
So he instructed, "Wife, you also need to accompany Jingru back to the courtyard house. You'd better make it clear that my Da Mao was cured entirely by drinking the medicine you bought. We can't let people gossip behind our backs."
"But what if Damao becomes suspicious and goes to the hospital for a checkup, only to find that his illness hasn't improved?"
Xu Lianxiang was very worried that if this problem wasn't solved, it would cause problems sooner or later.
This is also Qin Jingru's concern.
Although she knew Xu Damao might not go for a checkup, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Xu Fugui pondered for a moment, recalling the original diagnosis from the hospital, and already had an idea in mind.
"Don't be afraid. Even if Damao goes for a checkup, don't be afraid. Do you remember that diagnosis report? I remember it clearly stated that the sperm motility rate was low and infertility was suspected."
Based on this alone, the doctors wouldn't dare say there's absolutely no hope. As long as there's doubt, it means there's still hope. I believe they wouldn't dare guarantee that this person simply can't have children.
Listen to this old man, he knows the hospital's nature perfectly.
The hospital certainly wouldn't dare say that, even if they were 100% certain, they would still leave a glimmer of hope.
It's about being prepared for anything, isn't it?
Therefore, Qin Jingru's ability to conceive was a one in a million, or even a one in ten million chance.
This explanation was perfect, and Xu Fugui silently gave himself a thumbs up.
