Chapter 89: Pregnancy

After a person faints, he or she feels as heavy as a drunk person. Even though Jiang Sanhe was skin and bones and very light, he still tired Zhou Xiufen half to death.

"Huff, huff—"

She was panting and said she was supporting him, but in fact, all the weight of Jiang Sanhe was on her.

But she absolutely did not ask Doctor Xu for help.

Although Doctor Xu is very old, he is a foreigner after all. Even if she looks down on Jiang Sanhe, Zhou Xiufen would not let a foreigner support her daughter-in-law.

It took a full quarter of an hour.

She then dragged Jiang Sanhe to the bed.

"Quick, check what happened to her."

Zhou Xiufen was so tired that she couldn't even finish her words.

She sat on the edge of the bed, sweating profusely.

"Don't worry, I'll check her pulse right now."

Doctor Xu pulled over a chair and sat down before he began to take Jiang Sanhe's pulse.

During this time, his expression changed again and again.

Zhou Xiufen was so anxious that sweat started to appear on her forehead again.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Only then did Doctor Xu put down his hand.

He stroked his beard and shook his head with a look of regret.

"Sanhe has been pregnant for more than two months. It's a pity that she can't keep the baby. What did you feed her? She has too much cold in her body, which has damaged her foundation. Even if she takes pregnancy-preserving medicine, she can only keep the baby for two months at most.

Alas, I don’t have the ability to keep her pregnant until she gives birth. If you really want this baby, go to the hospital right away. The doctors there are very skilled. You should be able to save the baby if you ask them to help you.”

Doctor Xu said to Zhou Xiufen with a sigh.

"What? She's really pregnant? Really? That's not right! My daughter-in-law just had her period, not even half a month ago. How could she be pregnant for more than two months? Are you misdiagnosing her?"

Zhou Xiufen was shocked.

But change your mind.

She has always been very aware of her daughter-in-law's menstrual period.

How is it possible to get your period and still get pregnant?

Therefore, she looked at Doctor Xu with suspicion.

"What menstruation? That's spotting! Sanhe's pregnancy was too young, so I didn't get it out. Sigh, I'm not good at medicine. If you had taken Sanhe to the town clinic earlier, I'm afraid the baby wouldn't be in serious trouble. I'll give her an injection later, and you can go when she wakes up. The sooner you go, the more likely it is that the baby will be born."

Doctor Xu felt a little upset.

His medical skills are terrible.

If only we could have predicted the good fortune early last month.

Jiang Sanhe would not have fallen to the point of having to go to the hospital to preserve her pregnancy.

Everyone knows that the doctors in the clinic are good.

Everyone in the village knows it.

But it’s expensive!

Just seeing a doctor for a cold will cost at least half an ounce of silver.

Who can afford it?

If you want to preserve the pregnancy, it will be even more expensive.

He estimated that he couldn't get it down without three or four taels of silver.

Doctor Xu gave Jiang Sanhe an injection at the philtrum.

She slowly woke up.

The pain from both places made her eyes moist.

"Mom, what happened to me? It hurts so much."

She felt pain under her nose and in her stomach, and her face was extremely pale.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember to go to the hospital early."

See her wake up.

Doctor Xu stood up from his chair and prepared to leave.

Zhou Xiufen quickly took out a few copper plates from her waist and handed them to him: "Thank you very much. By the way, why did you come to my house suddenly? I didn't call you."

Thinking of this, she looked confused.

"Oh, Sanhe's elder brother came to call me and said Sanhe was not feeling well. He asked me to come and check Sanhe's pulse. He also gave me five copper coins and said they were for the consultation. You don't have to pay. I'm leaving now."

When Doctor Xu went to Zhoujia Village, he met Jiang Yahao.

Natural recognition.

He pushed Zhou Xiufen's hand away.

turned and left.

"Your elder brother is really afraid that I won't hire a doctor for you. Hey, look at you, don't you know you are pregnant? You have worked so hard these days and taken so many medicines. The child must have suffered a lot. Change your clothes quickly. You are covered in mud. I will take you to the town's clinic and let the doctor take a look."

Zhou Xiufen wanted to curse.

Fearing that she would scare her daughter-in-law and cause her grandson to miscarry, she quickly suppressed her anger.

He then tapped her forehead helplessly.

Compared to just now, the force was more than ten times lighter.

"What? I'm pregnant? Mom, you didn't lie to me, did you? I'm really pregnant?"

Jiang Sanhe's eyes widened.

She put the pain in her stomach and philtrum behind her.

"Fubao! What Fubao said is true, mom, Fubao, she said I'm pregnant with a boy, and it will come out in January next year! This child really lives up to his name, hahahaha."

Jiang Sanhe excitedly pulled Zhou Xiufen's arm.

Said happily.

"January next year? You are just over two months pregnant now, so you will be born in January! Oh my God, it's amazing! Children can see things that others can't see. You must be having a boy this time!"

Hurry up and change your clothes. I will go to the farm and call my husband back. I will ask him to borrow a bullock cart from the village and take you to the clinic. This baby must be saved, no matter how much money it costs."

Zhou Xiufen counted the days.

He slapped his thigh hard.

Her mouth was wide open for a long time, and the joy in her eyes was about to overflow.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law completely believed Jiang Fubao's words at this moment.

On the other side, in Jiangjia Village, Jiang Fubao was pulling his grandmother into his room and whispering to her.

"Grandma, I had a dream last night."

"Oh? What was that dream about? Tell grandma about it." Zhang Jinlan sat on the bed holding her granddaughter, pinched her little face and asked.

"I dreamed about the old man with white beard. He said that he would put the things Fubao wanted under Fubao's bed in the future, so we wouldn't have to worry about losing them."

Jiang Fubao sat on grandma's lap with his feet dangling in the air.

As she spoke, she kicked her feet out of habit.

I accidentally threw my shoes off.

The shoes farmers wear are mostly straw sandals and cloth shoes.

The pair of cloth shoes on her feet had the soles sewn by her grandmother and the uppers sewed by her mother.

Filled with their endless love.

Don't look at it as linen.

It's very comfortable to wear on my feet, but it's a bit big.

After all, she is still a child.

The body changes every day, to save some money.

We can only make clothes and shoes bigger.

This way it's more durable.

She is still fine.

Some girls in the village wore clothes that were as big as those worn by adults, and they had more than five folds.

The shoes were even more outrageous. One could squeeze another foot in at the heel, and they were tattered and worn out. It was obvious that they were old shoes discarded by older brothers and sisters.

"Really? That's great. If someone comes to our house, we won't be afraid of being seen. Did Fubao thank the old man in his dream? We have taken so many things from him, and we don't know how to repay him."

Zhang Jinlan held her granddaughter in her arms, bent down with great effort, picked up her granddaughter's small shoes, and put them on her personally.

Her face sometimes showed worry and sometimes happiness.
