"Ugh... ugh..."
"Ugh... ugh..."
Song Mei was vomiting violently under a tree outside, her face was pale.
"Meizi, Meizi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Fengnian was busy patting her back, his face full of anxiety.
Song Anxin and Sister-in-law Lin approached, their faces full of worry. Song Anxin asked, "Meizi, did you eat something bad?"
"Yes, Meizi, did you eat something bad? Why are you vomiting like this?" Sister-in-law Lin said.
Everyone at the table who was eating came out to check on her and asked Song Mei with concern.
Song Mei finally stopped vomiting and straightened up, looking a little weak. She said, "It's okay, Mother, Aunt, I'm fine. Maybe I was sleeping in a bit too cold and my stomach got chilled. I'll feel better after vomiting."
"Mom, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle Bai... let's go inside and eat, I'm really alright."
Seeing that Song Mei seemed fine after vomiting, everyone felt relieved and went inside together.
Lin Fengnian helped Song Mei up and whispered in her ear, "Meizi, you really can't kick off the blankets when you sleep anymore. Every time I cover you up, you kick them off."
Song Anxin originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but upon hearing this...
"..."
Forget it, she should worry more about being a single dog herself.
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Lin joked, "Oh my, our Fengnian really dotes on his wife. He even knows to cover her with a blanket at night."
Upon hearing this, Song Mei blushed instantly, while Lin Fengnian, his face also turning dark red, chuckled awkwardly.
As soon as everyone sat down at the table, Song Mei smelled the aroma of meat coming from the bowl again. She immediately covered her mouth, but this time she held back.
Lin Fengnian immediately asked, "What's wrong, Meizi? Are you feeling nauseous again?"
Song Mei covered her mouth and nodded, muttering, "I don't know why, but the smell of this meat makes me want to vomit."
Lin Fengnian quickly took the meat out of her bowl. "Could the meat be spoiled?" he asked, puzzled.
"No, no, big brother, the meat isn't spoiled, it tastes great," Lin Fengyao quickly replied.
Lin Erxi squinted, then gave a look of sudden realization:
"Could my sister-in-law be pregnant?! I've seen many pregnant women in the village like this."
She had barely finished speaking when her mother slapped her on the back of the head.
"You child, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak!" said Sister-in-law Lin.
Everyone knows that Song Mei cannot get pregnant, and no one would think of it that way. Saying it would only hurt Song Mei's feelings.
Song Mei smiled and didn't seem to care.
Song Anxin served Song Mei a bowl of matsutake mushroom and bamboo shoot soup, saying, "Meizi, if your stomach isn't feeling well, drink some soup first to warm your tummy."
"Thank you, Mother. I'm sorry to have worried you. Please eat quickly." Song Mei said, taking the soup.
The soup seemed to be made by simmering salted pork, with a few specks of clear oil floating on top. Song Mei couldn't help but cover her mouth again, but in the end, she didn't spit it out.
Seeing her like this, Lin Fengnian quickly asked, "What's wrong, Meizi? Is something making you feel nauseous again?"
Song Mei covered her mouth and said, "There's oil on this soup too."
Lin Fengnian quickly removed the soup, leaving everyone at the table bewildered. Did she think that someone with a cold stomach couldn't stand the smell of oil?
Lin Daxi felt something was off the more she looked, although... after thinking it over, she still spoke up:
"Meizi, have you been feeling sleepy and tired lately, and falling asleep early at night before your usual bedtime?"
Upon hearing this, Song Anxin replied on Mei Zi's behalf, "Yes, Mei Zi has been yawning and wanting to sleep a lot lately, as for the night..."
Lin Fengnian received the message: "Recently, Meizi has been going to bed early at night. Sometimes she falls asleep while reading in bed."
Song Mei covered her mouth, still looking uncomfortable, and nodded without refuting.
Lin Daxi became even more certain of his guess: "Second Aunt, I think Meizi looks pregnant. I remember when I was pregnant with Da Xiaocao in the early stages, I couldn't stand the smell of any oil or fish. Just like Meizi, I felt nauseous after smelling it, and I often felt sleepy. I know about Meizi's past, but who can say for sure about this?"
Upon hearing Da Xi's words, Sister-in-law Lin immediately looked as if she had just realized something:
"It seems like it was the same when I was pregnant with Da Xi, sister-in-law, right? I remember it was similar when you were pregnant."
Song Anxin: "...?!"
How would she know? She's never been pregnant. Oh, no, no, she has been pregnant before. The original owner's memories are a bit hazy, but it seems that's really the case.
Is Mei really pregnant?
"I told you, my sister-in-law might be pregnant, and you still hit me, Mom," Lin Daxi said, looking aggrieved.
Sister-in-law Lin thought about it more and more and felt it was possible. Suddenly, she clapped her hands excitedly and said:
"Oh dear, sister-in-law, I think it's really possible that Meizi is pregnant, just like Daxi and Erxi said. It was hard to say before, but you're a lucky star now, sister-in-law. Who knows, you might just bring us a grandson."
Song Mei was initially overjoyed, but her symptoms did indeed resemble those described by the women in the village during pregnancy. Her period was also late this month, but her periods were also irregular. Thinking about this, the joy on her face slowly faded. What if it turned out to be a miscarriage? Wouldn't her mother and the others have been happy for nothing?
Song Anxin, of course, noticed Song Mei's emotions. She patted Mei's hand and said with a smile:
"These symptoms do resemble pregnancy, but whether you're pregnant or not isn't important. What's important is Meizi's health. Meizi, we'll go to the county this afternoon to see a doctor for you. If you really have any stomach problems, we can get some medicine for you."
Song Mei nodded, knowing that her mother was thinking of her. After calming down for a while, she felt much better and said:
"Yes, I probably just have an upset stomach."
Brother Lin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "No matter what, let's go see the doctor in the county first."
Bo Bo has been in Linjia Village for so long that he knows a few things.
"Yes, it's best to see a doctor if you're not feeling well."
Sister-in-law Lin and the others didn't say anything more. Although that was their opinion, they still needed to see a doctor to confirm it. They hoped their feeling was right. God bless them.
The group continued eating, but Song Mei had no appetite and left early. Lin Fengnian accompanied her back to her room. After Song Mei woke up from her afternoon nap, Song Anxin, Song Mei, and Lin Fengnian took a carriage to the county. Because Song Mei wasn't feeling well and couldn't handle the bumpy ride, the carriage traveled almost entirely on foot.
In the county, at the Ren Shan Hall.
Doctor Zheng was taking Song Mei's pulse with a serious expression. Song Mei and Lin Fengnian both looked nervous. Song Anxin was also a little nervous, and Granny Wei and Granny Sun were even more nervous.
