Yan Qingqing felt that what Dr. Zheng said sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
Li Xiangping quickly explained, "Dr. Zheng, you've misunderstood."
I just can't quite believe it.
Li Xiangping and Yuan Huiniang have only had one daughter, Jinxiu, since they got married, so naturally they want a second child.
Although Yuan Huiniang said some time ago that she would wait two years before having another child, she was afraid that the family would be too busy.
However, their family's life has gradually improved over the past six months, and the couple had long been considering having a second child.
However, Yuan Huiniang was unable to conceive. She even secretly went to see a doctor, who said that she had not taken proper care of herself during her first pregnancy and had damaged her health.
But it wasn't a big deal. Yuan Huiniang was afraid that Yan Qingqing would worry, so she didn't tell her. She originally planned to take good care of herself for a while, but who knew that she would get pregnant.
After thinking for a moment, Dr. Zheng said, "Although there is nothing wrong with the fetus, she is weak, and she did not take good care of herself during her first pregnancy."
Therefore, before the pregnancy is stable, it needs to be kept quiet and rested, and excessive exertion should be avoided. Plenty of rest is important.
"I'll prescribe a medicine to help with conception later. Have someone come with me to the shop to get the medicine. I'll write down the instructions for taking it later."
Yan Qingqing thanked Doctor Zheng repeatedly after hearing this.
Dr. Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need for thanks. I heard that your family has a new preserved egg that is quite delicious."
I wonder if you'd be willing to send some for this old man to try.
Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? These are all our own things. I'll bring you a couple of jars to try when I leave."
Doctor Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. I heard that this stuff is not cheap in restaurants. Just take a few for me to try."
Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "Dr. Zheng, you don't need to be so polite. It's an honor for our family that you can personally make house calls."
Besides, although restaurants charge higher prices, our costs are lower. It might not even cover your consultation fee.”
Seeing that Yan Qingqing, though now wealthy, still treated him the same as before, Doctor Zheng was delighted. He said, "In that case, I'll accept it without hesitation."
"If anyone in the family has a headache or fever in the future, just come to me."
Doctor Zheng chatted with Yan Qingqing for a few more minutes, and then Yan Qingqing had someone load the things she had brought for Doctor Zheng onto the carriage.
Besides a jar of preserved eggs, there was also a jar of salted duck eggs, which Yan Qingqing gave a nice name: "Golden Jade Abundance".
Yan Qingqing also had some of the various bean products from the food processing workshop given to Doctor Zheng.
Doctor Zheng was astonished by the sheer amount of stuff loaded onto the carriage, even with his extensive knowledge.
Firstly, I admired Yan Qingqing's generosity, and secondly, I suddenly realized that I was being a bit shameless.
Any one of these items could cover his medical fees.
After Dr. Zheng left, the Li siblings crowded into Yuan Huiniang's room, chattering away.
There's speculation about whether Yuan Huiniang is carrying a boy or a girl.
Some say that the fact that Li Xiangjian's sister-in-law is pregnant right after he left is a good omen.
There are also people guessing who the child will look like after birth.
Anyway, when Yan Qingqing brought Doctor Zheng back, all she saw was the siblings huddled together, talking non-stop.
Yan Qingqing's face darkened immediately, and she said, "Dr. Zheng just said that your sister-in-law needs to rest more. What are you all doing standing here without any sense?"
Li Xiang'an smiled and said, "Mother, we're having a new baby in our family. We're just too happy to know what to do."
I'll take them away now. Let your sister-in-law rest more.
After saying this, the siblings were about to leave when Yan Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Xinniang, please stay."
Li Xin's mother, who was about to go out with everyone, stopped when Yan Qingqing called her.
Then he turned to Yan Qingqing and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "Doctor Zheng just said that your sister-in-law's pregnancy is unstable and she needs to rest more, so starting today you will be in charge of the household affairs."
Li Xin's mother exclaimed, "Mother, I don't know how!"
Yan Qingqing replied, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'll just learn. Nobody is born knowing everything."
Li Xinniang wanted to decline again, but Yan Qingqing said, "Only when you take charge of the household affairs will you know how difficult it is to manage a household and be able to see the depth of a family."
You're almost fifteen now, it's time you learned these things.
When Li Xinniang saw Yan Qingqing bringing up her marriage again, her face turned bright red with embarrassment, but she couldn't refute her.
She could only nod shyly.
Yuan Huiniang added, "Sister, managing a household isn't actually that difficult. If you study diligently, you'll definitely be able to learn it."
Back then, my sister-in-law didn't know anything either, and it was my mother who taught me step by step.
Moreover, I wrote all those accounts very clearly, so my sister can understand them at a glance.
If all else fails, I'll have Ruxiu help you.
Yan Qingqing stopped Yuan Huiniang, saying, "You are weak now and need someone by your side. Ruxiu is used to serving you, so let her continue to serve you."
She also has maids by her side; she can't just eat rice for free.
"If she's really going to marry out of the family with her, and she doesn't have any abilities and needs her master's protection, then she's pretty useless."
Yuan Huiniang thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully. She knew that Wu Jingzhi was coming to their house every few days, and although the reasons were different each time, his real intentions were obviously not what they seemed.
Wu Jingzhi never mentioned it, so the Li family pretended not to know anything about it.
Wu Jingzhi, who was in the backyard of Jinsheng Pavilion at this moment, was bored out of his mind.
Shopkeeper Wu stood by helplessly, watching as this gentleman had been in Chengyang County for over a month, but showed no signs of leaving.
Manager Wu was filled with bitterness. Who would be happy in this situation? He was originally the most powerful and influential manager at Jinsheng Pavilion in Chengyang County.
But since Wu Jingzhi arrived, he has not only been relegated to second place, but more importantly, he is under pressure.
This is not Wu's fault; which employee doesn't feel pressured under the big boss's watchful eye?
If it were just for business, it would be one thing, but it was because of a woman that he couldn't help her. Manager Wu felt a sense of powerlessness.
After Wu Jingzhi sighed again, Manager Wu said helplessly, "Young Master, since you like Miss Li, you should write back to the master and ask them to come and propose marriage as soon as possible. That would be the right thing to do."
Wu Jingzhi rolled his eyes at him and replied, "Do you think I don't want to? But I mentioned it to my aunt twice, and she immediately refused."
I really can't understand it. Although our Wu family are merchants, we also have some status in the capital.
But why does their family look down on me?
Wu Jingzhi fell into deep self-doubt because of this.
