They had been instructed by the lady of the house to never mention anything about children, knowing the young mistress's health condition.
Granny Sun was someone who followed Song Mei around. Even though she noticed that the eldest young mistress was always tired lately and her period was late, she didn't dare to think that the eldest young mistress was pregnant.
As Dr. Zheng was about to speak, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they dared not breathe.
Doctor Zheng said, "Switch to your right hand."
The group nearly choked on their breath, exhaling heavily before holding their breath again.
Dr. Zheng said, "Young lady, why are you so nervous? Maintaining a calm mood will be good for the baby in your womb."
"Doctor, what did you say?! Say it again!"
Lin Fengnian was somewhat incredulous after hearing this, and excitedly grabbed the doctor's collar, asking questions repeatedly.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of this old man..." Doctor Zheng felt like he was about to be dazed by the young man in front of him.
Granny Zheng and Granny Sun, along with the young apprentice who was fetching medicine, quickly pulled the two apart.
"Oh dear, young master, the doctor says that the young mistress is pregnant."
Granny Sun said with a happy expression.
"Yes, congratulations, Madam, congratulations, Young Master and Madam! Our family is about to welcome a new member."
Granny Wei was overjoyed and offered her congratulations.
Song Anxin and Song Mei were initially stunned, but after realizing what had happened, they were overjoyed and clasped hands tightly, visibly excited.
"Mom, did you hear that? The doctor said I'm pregnant!"
"Mother heard you, Meizi, you're going to be a mother!"
After being pulled away, Lin Fengnian stood there stunned: "Meizi is pregnant? I'm going to be a father?"
He then suddenly hugged Song Mei tightly, exclaiming, "Meizi, Meizi, I'm going to be a dad! You're going to be a mom! Haha... Waaah... Waaah..."
Lin Fengnian was laughing when he suddenly started to sob softly.
He, he, Meizi isn't a barren hen, boohoo... Meizi suffered so much before... Meizi is capable of being a mother... boohoo...
Song Mei didn't know why he was crying, and hurriedly tried to comfort him.
Looking at her eldest son's useless appearance, Song Anxin thought to herself: Uh...
If anyone should be crying, it should be Meizi. However, she can understand Fengnian's feelings. Meizi had been criticized behind her back because she couldn't have children, so she must feel very wronged for Meizi.
Doctor Zheng and the young medicine boy Nanxing, who had been rescued from Lin Fengnian, felt both happy for the woman and utterly speechless at the sight.
“Master, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a pregnant woman’s husband cry with joy,” said the young medicine boy, Nanxing.
Dr. Zheng touched his neck, but still maintained his professional demeanor, saying, "This shows that she values the baby in her womb, and it's also a good thing for the pregnant woman."
After Song Anxin explained the situation, the two finally understood why they had been so agitated.
Doctor Zheng asked in surprise, "Madam Hui, you brought this young woman to see me before, and I didn't find any problems with her fertility at the time. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Song Mei had already comforted Lin Fengnian, and upon hearing the doctor's words, she looked up in disbelief and said:
"But doctor, I haven't been able to conceive for the past few years, how could I possibly be healthy?!"
"Have you seen it?" Doctor Zheng asked.
Song Mei shook her head, and everyone assumed she was infertile.
"That settles it. Your health was so poor before, it's normal that you couldn't get pregnant due to the imbalance of your Qi and blood. Now I see that your Yin is sufficient, your Qi and blood are in harmony, and your meridians are unobstructed and full, so it will be easier for you to get pregnant."
Song Anxin finally understood. It turned out that Meizi wasn't sick. It was just that she was malnourished and couldn't get pregnant. Now that she had been staying at her house for a while and her nutrition had improved, she naturally got pregnant.
Song Mei's eyes widened instantly. So, so, there was nothing wrong with her body! She could get pregnant. It was as if something had been broken open in her heart, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
"Waaah...waaah..." Lin Fengnian, who was standing to the side, started sobbing again when he heard the doctor's words, even louder than before.
Song Mei's emotions subsided immediately; before her tears even fell, she quickly comforted Lin Fengnian.
Lin Fengnian sobbed even more heartbrokenly this time, wailing... So Meizi wasn't the problem after all... Waaah... So Meizi had been going through too much hardship before, that's why she was like this...
Song Anxin, Granny Wei, Granny Sun, and the others were both amused and exasperated to see Lin Fengnian sobbing on Mei Zi's shoulder.
She didn't dwell on the past and asked Dr. Zheng, "Dr. Zheng, how many months pregnant are you now? Is the pregnancy stable? Do you need any medication to prevent miscarriage?"
Doctor Zheng stroked his beard and said, "It's been over a month, and the pulse is good. The mother is still a bit weak, so she can take some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy for a few days, and then she just needs to rest."
Song Anxin smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zheng. Granny Wei, please take the money."
Granny Wei happily paid the consultation fee and the cost of the medicine, and also gave them a bonus for bringing good news.
Dr. Zheng quickly declined, "Madam Hui, I won't accept the money for the good news or the consultation fee. Just give me the money for the medicine. I should thank you for the breathing techniques for childbirth and the episiotomy method you gave me before."
He became somewhat excited as he spoke: "Madam Hui, you have no idea, but your breathing method has significantly reduced the pain for mothers in labor, and with this breathing method, the delivery is also faster. As for episiotomy, it goes without saying. In the past, large fetuses, obstruction, and prolonged labor caused the mother to lack strength... all of which were major problems in difficult labor. This episiotomy method has truly saved the lives of many mothers and babies."
Song Anxin smiled and said, "Dr. Zheng, there's no need to thank me. It's because you are a kind doctor and willing to work hard to research this method. I heard from Fangying, the old lady in our village, that you explained this method to the midwives in great detail according to the different situations of the mothers. It is truly a blessing for mothers to have a doctor like you."
Grandma Fangying was the midwife from Linjia Village who delivered Liu Hong'er's baby before. She was right next to Song Anxin when she performed the episiotomy.
The young apprentice, Nanxing, chimed in, "That's right. My master taught us step by step. We used it to practice sewing pigskin until it was almost worn out. My master was very responsible. He wouldn't let anyone who hadn't learned it properly use this method. And for those who had, my master would personally take them to deliver babies."
Song Anxin admired the doctor even more. His meticulousness and selfless responsibility in teaching showed that he truly had great love in his heart.
Dr. Zheng sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity that many people still can't accept the idea of operating on pregnant women, and very few people come to learn."
