Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Are you still getting divorced now?
Seeing that Shen Miao’s expression was not right, Xu Zhicheng hurriedly asked: “What’s wrong with her? Is she sick?”
Shen Miao did not answer, but tried hard to help Wang Suihua up from the ground, then held her head and carefully laid her down on the bed.
Generally speaking, if a woman has a slippery pulse, it can be basically determined that she is pregnant, but it may also be due to anemia or digestive problems.
After all, they lived a poor life, and Wang Suihua was busy running the household all day long, so in addition to being pregnant, there was also the possibility of her suffering from stomach problems and fainting.
Not sure, let’s wait and see.
So Shen Miao looked at her tongue coating and whites of eyes again, and after a careful examination, she finally let go of the breath hanging in her throat: "Sister-in-law is pregnant."
"You said she's pregnant?"
The corners of Xu Zhicheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Pregnancy, so... they are going to have their own child soon?!
After so many years of marriage without children, Xu Zhicheng and Wang Suihua had long given up hope. They had gone to the city for a checkup before, and the doctor said they were in good health, so they just thought it was destined by God that they would never have children in this life.
Now my wife's belly suddenly brought good news...
"You made the right diagnosis, didn't you? Sunoka, she is really pregnant?!"
Shen Miao nodded, "Really, judging from her pulse, it should be almost two months. Sister-in-law has insufficient Qi and blood, and she has been lacking nutrition during pregnancy, so she fainted."
After confirming that his wife was really pregnant, Xu Zhicheng's mouth corners kept rising and tears kept accumulating in his eyes.
It was clear that just over ten minutes ago, he was determined to drive Wang Suihua away from him, but at this moment, his helpless hands only wanted to hold her in his arms and block the wind blowing in from the window for her.
Wang Suihua was just a little angry and she recovered after about a few minutes.
When she opened her eyes and wanted to continue arguing with Xu Zhicheng, she saw his excited expression with tears in his eyes. The words that were about to come out of her throat were not known how to be said.
"What's going on?"
Wang Suihua slowly sat up with the help of the bed, rubbing her still dazed head, "I just didn't eat lunch and my stomach feels a little dizzy. I'm fine, why are you crying?"
Reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Wang Suihua put away the toughness she had just shown when talking to him. When their eyes met, she was still as gentle as usual.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations, you are pregnant!" Shen Miao at the side couldn't wait to tell her the good news.
"What? I'm pregnant..." Wang Suihua covered her belly in disbelief, "Pregnant?!"
She was busy all day with farm work in the fields and housework at home. Besides, it wasn't too painful when her period came, so she wouldn't deliberately pinch those days.
But after what Shen Miao said, and then calculating the time, there were also those sleepless nights to appease Xu Zhicheng...
"Zhicheng, did you hear that? I'm pregnant. We, we're going to have our own child!"
Looking at Xu Zhicheng beside her, Wang Suihua couldn't believe that she could see herself smiling in his eyes, and smiling so happily.
It turns out that life is not all bitter, you can still taste the sweetness of hope.
"I heard it, I heard it. I'm going to be a father! And you're going to be a mother!"
The two hugged each other tightly, sharing the joy of being blessed by God.
Thinking of the hurtful words Xu Zhicheng had said just now, Wang Suihua pushed him away again and asked him in a feigned anger, "Aren't you going to divorce me? Hmm? Are you still going to divorce me?"
"We're not leaving each other anymore," Xu Zhicheng, who was crying and laughing at the same time, wiped his nose, smiled foolishly, and hugged her tighter, "I'm not leaving you anymore no matter what."
Picking up the passbook on the bed, Wang Suihua helped him wipe away his tears and said softly, "Zhicheng, you promised to be good to me, but it doesn't mean you are good to me just by giving me money. You have to take care of me for the rest of my life and live a good life together, don't you understand?"
Xu Zhicheng nodded repeatedly, responding to her words, "I know, I know. Wait for me. I will definitely stand up and take good care of you and your daughter!"
After stuffing the passbook back into Xu Zhicheng's pocket, Wang Suihua, who had been supporting the family, leaned her head on his shoulder for the first time and said, "Okay, from now on, Xiaoke and I will rely on you to be the head of the family."

The story of Kong Xiangming riding a pig in the middle of the night spread in various villages for half a month.
After all, the migrant workers whose money he embezzled all came from villages near Yu City, so anyone who had worked with him on a project could tell him more about his dirty deeds during casual conversation.
Not only the village, but also the city's TV stations have tasted this "melon".
In order to promote resistance to feudal superstition, they specially opened a column for several days to report on Kong Xiangming's case. During that period, Xu Zhicheng was the only eyewitness present, and reporters came to interview him every day.
Without the trouble of nightmares, Xu Zhicheng's sleep quality has improved a lot and the frequency of phantom limb pain has also decreased. After Shen Wanshan helped him install a prosthesis, he walked almost like a normal person in the past two days.
After all the hard work, everything seems to be moving in a better direction.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
When Shen Miao was seeing patients that day, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes when she saw that the person who came in was Wang Suihua.
The clinic has had a lot of patients recently, and it has been almost a week since they last saw each other. Shen Miao was just planning to find an opportunity to send her medicine in the next two days, but she didn't expect that she would come by herself today.
The last time I saw Wang Suihua, her blue and white sweatshirt was still patched. Today she was wearing clean new clothes, and with Xu Zhicheng helping her share the farm work at home, her complexion had improved a lot.
Worried that the ruler in the grandfather's hand might fall at any time, Shen Miao did not dare to chat with her in a hurry, but took the initiative to pull the chair closer to her like she did with other patients, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Wang Suihua nodded in understanding and replied, "I've been feeling nauseous lately and can't eat anything, so I thought I'd get some medicine to relieve my pain."
Shen Miao simply took her pulse, and then suggested: "I see that you look pretty good, don't worry, morning sickness during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon, there is no need to deliberately take medicine to alleviate it."
But she still turned a page and wrote down some herbs on the prescription. "How about this, I'll get you some dried tangerine peel and hawthorn slices. You can soak them in water and drink them when you feel nauseous. If you have nothing to do, you can also press Zusanli more often, which is the area on your calf. It will also make you feel better."
"middle."
After receiving the prescription, Wang Suihua took out a small cloth bag from her pocket and asked, "How much?"
“Just give me a dime,” Shen Miao said, and then found Xu Zhicheng’s previous medical records, “By the way, how has Brother Zhicheng been sleeping recently? Do I need to get him some more medicine?”
"No need, he's been sleeping well lately, and his feet haven't hurt in the past three or four days."
After rummaging in the cloth bag for a while, Wang Suihua took out a light gray bill and placed it on the table.
Shen Miao hadn’t seen such a large denomination for a long time. When she saw the four portraits and the number “100” on the ticket, her eyes couldn’t help but widen.
"Sister-in-law, I can't find the change for such a large sum of money."
"No need to change," Wang Suihua explained slowly, "You helped Zhicheng so much before, giving him medicine and acupuncture without asking for a penny. Now my life is much easier, you should make it up to me."
"What are you trying to make up for? No, no, no!"
Shen Wanshan picked up the bill and tried to stuff it back to her, "If you give me ten yuan, I won't say anything, but I can't take this hundred yuan. Listen to your uncle and take it back quickly."
"Uncle, just accept it. Consider it a small token of our appreciation from Zhicheng and me."
"No, no, no, take it back quickly. If you don't accept it, I won't dare to come to your house anymore!"
Shen Wanshan has this kind of temper. He would rather charge one dollar less than one cent more.
He helped Xu Zhicheng out of his duty as a doctor and never thought about charging him much money. So even if he got his wages back and received a large sum of compensation, it had nothing to do with him and he didn't need any reward.
Seeing that Shen Wanshan was standing on an iron wall, Wang Suihua looked at Shen Miao on the side, but she didn't expect Shen Miao to hide even further away, with both hands behind her back, not giving her any chance to slip money in.
Shen Miao was not as conscious as her grandfather. Besides her “kindness”, her enthusiasm was more of a “curiosity” of wanting to eat melons.
It's enough to satisfy my curiosity, as for the reward...
Ahem, one hundred yuan is really too much. If it was twenty yuan, she might have really accepted it.
After practicing Tai Chi for a long time, Wang Suihua finally took back the hundred yuan reluctantly and gave a new ten-yuan note. Originally, there was a five-yuan note and a two-yuan note inside, but Shen Wanshan still found out and retreated.
After Wang Suihua left with the medicine, Shen Miao continued to call out numbers: “Number 19, number 19 can come in.”
After waiting for almost a minute without any answer, she thought that "Number 19" might have waited too long and went home early, so she was about to call "Number 20" in, but a little boy's tender voice came from outside the door.
"Miaomiao, the pregnant auntie number 19 is so scared that she peed her pants!"
