Chapter 289 Should I divorce you?
Qin Suisui stayed in the hospital for less than two hours before strongly requesting to be discharged.
Firstly, she wasn't used to staying in the hospital; she preferred to stay at home.
Secondly, she was perfectly fine to begin with. Why should she stay in the hospital all the time just because she's pregnant?
On the contrary, Pei Jiuyan's nervousness and worry outweighed his joy after he learned that Qin Suisui was pregnant.
Seeing his alarmed expression, Qin Suisui chuckled: "Didn't you want to have children?"
That's true. Ever since Pei Jiuyan expressed her desire to have a child after returning from Yunnan Province last year, they sometimes stop using family planning products.
Qin Suisui thought that with this man's strong physique and diligence, if she hadn't gone to Yunnan Province last year and returned with some deficiency of qi and blood, she probably would have gotten pregnant long ago.
However, the timing is about the same. They returned to Qiongtan Island from Yunnan Province in mid-to-late November, and it is now late January, which means that she got pregnant not long after returning.
That's really... full of action!
After confirming that Qin Suisui was indeed not feeling unwell, Pei Jiuyan finally belatedly felt happy. He settled Qin Suisui down on the bed, prepared melon seeds, snacks, and warm water for her, and then excitedly went to make a phone call to share the good news.
Sun Ruwen had to inform his parents in Beijing, his parents-in-law in Changbai Mountain, his master and fellow disciples in the Snake Spirit Brigade, and others who were still in Guangzhou!
Even Song Yunlai, who was far away in Suzhou meeting his future in-laws, was not spared and was forced to spend two yuan to listen to him brag for half an hour!
The first to arrive were Paron and Parman. Knowing that Qin Suisui was pregnant, they locked the door and came over immediately. Parman also brought several fresh pheasants and pigeons that he had caught on the way. He went straight to the kitchen to make soup for Qin Suisui.
With trembling hands, Palon took Qin Suisui's pulse several times, then paced anxiously around the room, pondering how to nourish his beloved disciple so that the fetus would receive adequate nutrition without harming her foundation during childbirth.
After Zan Zan found out that his mother was pregnant with a little sister (Zan Zan insisted that it was a little sister), he stopped running around the house, afraid that he would bump into his mother and hurt the little sister. He couldn't run by himself, and he wouldn't let the little white ball run either. He even forbade the little white ball from clinging to his mother, for fear that it would trip her up.
Pei Jiuyan even invited Aunt Tang from next door, asking her to help look after things while he was at work.
Tang's sister-in-law had always treated Qin Suisui like her own sister. Moreover, Qin Suisui was young and pregnant for the first time, so Tang's sister-in-law was worried that she might be reckless and hurt herself. Therefore, whenever she had free time, she would bring her own baby to stay in Qin Suisui's yard and supervise her eating, drinking water and nourishing soup.
In contrast, Qin Suisui was the least nervous. She knew her own body, and she knew how to treat herself. She knew that the baby in her womb was fine, and she was fine too. As long as she was careful and paid attention to her diet, there wouldn't be any major problems.
But she didn't expect that from then on, Parman would bring her fresh meat almost every day, and Palon would come over every two days to take her pulse.
Sun Ruwen didn't even spend the Lantern Festival at home. He came directly to the family compound with a large pile of snacks and tonics, his face full of excitement: "Sui Sui, am I going to be an uncle?"
"Great! I'm going to be an uncle soon!"
"Just tell me what you want to eat, anything is fine, I'll find a way to get it for you!"
Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai would also come over from time to time to bring her delicious food. When Pei Jiuyan went to sea, they would come to see her almost every day and help with the housework.
Even Grandma Mai and Hu Zi and Ada would come over to bring her food almost every one or two days. Hu Zi would come over every day to give her a massage, which he said he learned from Xie Ting.
Qin Suisui thought they were being ridiculous, but to her surprise, her mother-in-law and father-in-law arrived from Beijing with bags and packages just two days later!
She wasn't surprised that her mother-in-law came, but she didn't expect that her busy father-in-law would also come!
The two of them stayed there for almost half a month before her father-in-law was finally called away by a phone call from Beijing.
Her mother-in-law stayed there for another month, and only left when Qin Suisui was over three months old, feeling very uneasy.
Her parents also send things over every few days. If it weren't for the constraints of her identity, they probably would have already run off to Qiongtan Island.
That's true.
When Hua Qing and Qin Xingzhi received their son-in-law's call informing them that their daughter was pregnant, their first reaction wasn't joy, but worry. They knew how pampered their daughter had been, and how much suffering pregnancy could bring. They wondered how their daughter was doing now.
Qin Xingzhi was even more worried. He was out of town when his wife had a difficult childbirth. Although he hadn't experienced it firsthand, he knew how dangerous childbirth was for a woman. He had almost lost his wife and daughter back then!
But now his daughter is pregnant again, and they're not around...
Qin Xingzhi, lost in thought, couldn't help but start blaming Pei Jiuyan. It was all that reckless brat's fault! If he could control himself, would his daughter have suffered so much from pregnancy? Did he really have to have a child? It wasn't like they had a fortune to inherit! That brat! He didn't even care about his precious daughter! Maybe he should just make his daughter divorce him!
When Hua Qing learned of his thoughts, she was so angry she almost laughed: "So, according to you, you got me pregnant because you didn't care about me or love me? What? Do you want me to get a divorce from you?"
Upon seeing his wife's anger, Qin Xingzhi immediately stepped forward awkwardly: "Wife, how could I not feel sorry for you and not love you? I'm just feeling sorry for our Sui Sui. Our baby has never suffered since she was little. Pregnancy and childbirth are so hard. Just thinking about how I almost lost you and Sui Sui makes my heart ache."
Hua Qing naturally thought of this as well. Having experienced it herself, she knew how dangerous childbirth was. Although they were free in private, they were still under control in public and could not go to Qiongtan Island to take care of their daughter. They could only call her and send her things from time to time.
No, I have to think of something. At least I need to be by my daughter's side when she gives birth!
Everyone around her was on edge, but Qin Suisui was the calmest. Since becoming pregnant, she had basically stopped going to the lab. There were a lot of chemicals there, and she was worried that they might harm the fetus. She only brought the necessary herbs home and would study them whenever she had free time. If she was feeling lazy, she would just leave them aside. Last year, her performance far surpassed that of everyone else in the lab, so she wasn't worried at all.
After two years of large-scale cultivation, the medicinal herb garden is now on the right track. Su Yunyi and Jia Zhenzhen are now capable of handling important tasks, and Qian Mei, who had been an "unofficial staff member," has officially joined the garden and is a very capable assistant. Unless there are any emergencies, Qin Suisui doesn't have to worry about the medicinal herb garden much. She spends most of her time at home making pills and researching and cultivating other rare medicinal herbs.
Before they knew it, it was mid-September, and Qin Suisui's belly was already very big; she was close to giving birth.
With her belly so big, Qin Suisui had difficulty moving around, so she rarely went out. Especially during this time, Pei Jiuyan was on a special mission at sea, and he wanted to do as much work as possible now so that he could have more time off to take care of his wife after she gave birth.
With Pei Jiuyan away, Qin Suisui was also very cautious, avoiding going out as much as possible and usually just taking walks around the neighborhood.
On September 19th, Qin Suisui, as usual, had lunch and then planned to take a half-hour walk near her home before going back to take a nap.
Before she even got home, she suddenly heard a noisy argument behind her. She turned around and saw an old woman causing trouble with her family. She didn't recognize the woman, so to avoid getting hurt, she quickened her pace to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
But who would have thought that after she had only taken ten or so steps, something suddenly crashed into her from behind. She lost her balance while holding her stomach and fell straight to the ground!
