In their Yancheng, regardless of a family's financial situation, a midwife must be found at least a month in advance. Everyone knows that childbirth is a life-or-death situation for women, and it's always better to be prepared.
"We're already looking!" Han Luoxue said calmly.
Actually, she wasn't in a hurry to find someone; she already had people around her. With her younger sister taking care of her and the help of Doctor Xu, the two of them were more than enough to ensure everything went smoothly.
"Oh dear, Madam Han, we need to find a midwife as soon as possible. I know one, the best midwife in Yancheng. You know how hard it is to book her normally, but we're very familiar with each other, so I can help you make an appointment!"
Han Luoxue couldn't believe that the other party was acting so proactively without any ulterior motives.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Yan'er!"
Although she felt everything was foolproof, her younger sister lacked experience. And since Doctor Xu was a man, it wasn't convenient for him to go in at such a crucial moment.
Actually, a few days ago, Zhou Jun said that he wanted to find a reliable midwife in Yancheng.
They could also look for someone in the capital, but Han Luoxue felt it was unnecessary. Her current physical condition was excellent, and she also had a lot of daily activity. Back in modern times, she knew that as long as you were active enough, you would suffer much less during childbirth.
"These are nothing, Mrs. Han. We live so close by, I still want to be friends with you. May I call you Sister Han?"
Seeing Yan'er's sincere expression, it was truly the first time I'd ever seen her so easy to talk to.
"Whatever!"
Based on this girl's past behavior, Han Luoxue wouldn't get to know her well.
Besides, it's uncertain how long she'll be staying here, so there's no need to make enemies for yourself.
But it's impossible for us to be close friends. Let her call me whatever she wants!
Wang Yan looked delighted and moved the lantern closer to Han Luoxue.
Han Luoxue gestured for the maid to take it, and then smiled and declined, saying, "I have some things to take care of at home today, so I won't invite Sister Yan'er in."
After saying this, she didn't wait for Wang Yan's reply, and turned to leave with a smile.
Xiao Tao hurriedly closed the door, making sure to lock it.
Wang Yan, standing outside the door, was dumbfounded. What was wrong with this woman? Hadn't they just made peace?
She raised her hand to knock on the door again, but the maid beside her quickly stopped her.
"Let go!"
This is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless person! They accepted all the gifts but wouldn't even let anyone in the door!
"Miss, we've at least made some progress just now, so please don't knock on the door anymore. Perhaps Madam Han really has something to attend to at home. Let me tell you, these things can't be rushed!"
In her opinion, it's a good thing as long as the other party accepts the gift. There's really no need for them to ask for too much.
Who told their young lady to be so straightforward in the past, offending people so badly?
They clearly didn't want the young lady to come in, and if she continued knocking at this point, it would seem rather aggressive.
When the two returned home, Wang Yan was still indignant: "I already lowered my attitude, how could this woman have no shame at all? She accepted the gifts, but kicked us out!"
The little girl wanted to say, "Didn't you realize that they don't need that little bit of money at all? It's already a good thing that they accepted it. It's better for you to be so indignant than for them to refuse it and kick you out, right?"
“My father doesn’t give me much time, and I’m not familiar with her. How can I ask her about the formula?”
Wang Yan was still worrying when she suddenly heard the little maid shouting that Young Master Zhou seemed to have returned.
Wang Yan hurriedly ran out and saw Zhou Jun about to enter at the door: "Young Master Zhou, please wait a moment, I have something I want to tell you!"
When Zhou Jun saw Wang Yan, he frowned and suddenly remembered what they had heard them say before: this girl seemed to have feelings for him.
He quickly took a step back, keeping his distance from Wang Yan. He actually wanted to explain things to this girl, but then thought better of it.
What can you say about this? The girl hasn't even expressed her feelings, and if he rejects her directly, people who don't know the situation might think he's just imagining things.
Seeing Zhou Jun's deliberate aloofness, Wang Yan's face paled involuntarily. She hadn't done anything to wrong Zhou Jun, so why was this man so wary of her? It must be that Madam Han had said something bad about her.
Although she already knew that Madam Han and Zhou Jun had nothing going on, Wang Yan just couldn't bring herself to like her.
“Young Master Zhou, I have something very important to discuss with you, and it is of great importance to you.”
Wang Yan's expression was firm, as if she were saying, "I'm only thinking of you."
Zhou Jun frowned but didn't say anything more.
"I heard you just acquired a pharmacy, the one where someone died a few days ago, right?"
Zhou Jun looked at her unhappily. This was their own family matter, what business was it of this woman? They had no relation whatsoever. Even if they lived next door, they were just neighbors with no real connection.
"Miss Wang, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I...Young Master Zhou, you may not know who that old man Wang has offended?"
"He offended Fatty Liu, who has connections with the county magistrate. The two are on good terms, and most people are no match for Fatty Liu. In recent years, Fatty Liu has acquired several shops, and that clinic is his target. If you take over the clinic, you'll only lose money."
Hearing Wang Yan's confident words, Zhou Jun's expression darkened. Putting aside Han Luoxue's status, even without that layer, the Zhou family alone was far beyond the reach of a mere county magistrate.
No matter what Han Luoxue wants to do, or what business the Zhou family wants to do, no one can stop her.
"Young Master Zhou, please don't blame me for meddling. I'm only doing this for your own good!"
Wang Yan spoke with a considerate expression, assuming that Zhou Jun would be extremely grateful upon hearing her words, or at least show some appreciation. However, she didn't expect Zhou Jun's originally gentle face to suddenly turn cold and stern.
"Miss Wang, our affairs are none of your business. Please don't worry about them!"
Wang Yan stared at Zhou Jun in astonishment. She had only meant well; what did this man really mean?
"Young Master Zhou, I'm only doing this for your own good. How can you say that about me?"
Wang Yan spoke with a pitiful expression, tears welling in her eyes, looking delicate and endearing.
Unfortunately, the men in the Zhou family are all a bit dim-witted and have no idea what it means to cherish and pamper women.
"Mrs. Han's affairs are none of your business, and I hope you won't presume to understand!"
"It's her freedom to choose which shops she likes to shop at. We have plenty of money; how much we lose is our business. I hope you won't interfere in the future!"
After saying this, Zhou Jun went up and knocked on the door. The young maid who had just opened the door quickly ran out: "Young Master Zhou, you're back?"
The little girl also saw Wang Yan standing to the side, but didn't even say hello.
