Chapter 33 Pregnancy

"House thief? Mom, what are you talking about? How could Juan'er be a thief?" Shen Xiangxi glanced at the people nearby who were craning their necks to watch the fun, and asked Old Lady Ji and Shen Ruoqing to go into the ward to talk.

At this time, Du Juan was lying weakly on the hospital bed. When she saw Old Lady Ji coming, she avoided his gaze and shrank back, not daring to speak.

"The money in our house was stolen. Not all of it was stolen. Only 70 yuan was stolen. Who else could it be except your wife? I was wondering where she got the money to buy medicine. It turned out that she stole money from our house!"

"Du Juan, tell mom that you didn't steal." Shen Xiangxi would never believe that his wife would steal money from home.

"Xiangxi...I..." Du Juan hesitated and finally burst into tears.

"You still have the nerve to cry?" Old Mrs. Ji was about to slap Mrs. Du in the face, but luckily Shen Ruoqing stopped her with her quick eyes and hands.

"Mom, this is a hospital, there are people around."

"Juan'er, did you really take this money?" Shen Xiangxi's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Xiangxi, I'm sorry...I didn't want to do this, I really didn't want to do this!"

"There's nothing to say, Shen Xiangxi. My Shen family doesn't want such a thief in the family! Divorce! Divorce her!" Old Mrs. Ji put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.

"Divorce? I don't want a divorce! Please, mom, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time. I did this for a reason. I did it all to leave Xiangxi with a descendant. Mom, can you forgive me? Xiangxi, I bought the medicine to give you a son. The master said that if you drink two more doses, just two doses, I can give you a son!" Du Juan pulled Shen Xiangxi and begged Mrs. Ji, "Mom, I will definitely pay you back the money I owe you. Please let me go this time, okay?"

"Why did you take mom's money? Just to have a son? I told you not to believe in those folk remedies, why didn't you listen? And you drank two doses? You're already in the hospital, and you still want to drink?" Shen Xiangxi covered his head with his hands. Today was too much of a shock to him.

Shen Ruoqing didn't expect that the money was really taken by this honest third sister-in-law.

"Repay? What are you going to give me? I'm telling you, don't even think about getting a penny from my Shen family. I want you to leave the house with nothing!"

"Mom, Juan'er is still weak. Let's talk about this later." Shen Xiangxi looked at Grandma Ji with pleading eyes.

Shen Ruoqing felt a little reluctant and tugged at Old Lady Ji's sleeve.

"Are the family members of bed 18 here? Did you know that the patient is pregnant? However, we have detected that the pregnant woman ate a lot of peach kernels during pregnancy, so there is a possibility of deformity. We do not recommend that you keep this child. Moreover, the pregnant woman ate rhubarb, so it is difficult to keep this child." The doctor's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present.

"Doctor, are you saying I'm pregnant?" Du Juan asked in disbelief. All she could think of was the words "pregnancy". As for the deformity, she selectively threw it aside.

"Xiangxi, I told you it would work. I'm pregnant now! It must be a boy!"

Shen Ruoqing didn't expect that Du Juan was actually pregnant. Of course, she definitely didn't believe that it was caused by the medicine. It could really be a coincidence. But Du Juan took the medicine and ruined her body. It's not known whether she could keep the baby or not.

Old Mrs. Ji and Shen Ruoqing left the ward.

"Mom, calm down first. Third sister-in-law is pregnant now."

"What if she's pregnant? Didn't you hear what the doctor told us just now? This child is not worth having. The probability of deformity is very high." Old Lady Ji said angrily, what evil did Mrs. Du do? She was pregnant, but she insisted on taking these messed up medicines and ruined the baby! "Let's see what Third Brother says first."

Knowing that Old Lady Ji was angry, Shen Ruoqing secretly went to pay the medical bills, bought a few meals from the hospital cafeteria, and returned to the ward.

"Mom, eat first. I have to finish this lunch box quickly, because I have to return it to the chef in the cafeteria later." Shen Ruoqing handed out the rice and winked at Shen Xiangxi.

Old Lady Ji calmed down now and slowly opened her lunch box. Wow, her lunch box contained large dumplings. When she took a bite, she found that they were filled with meat. Then she looked at Shen Xiangxi and Du Juan's lunch boxes. One contained white porridge and the other contained a steamed bun made of two-grain flour.

Now she felt better: "Mom can't eat so many dumplings, dear, you eat some."

"Mom, eat quickly. If you can't eat more, give it to Third Brother. I've eaten in the cafeteria before and I'm very full."

Shen Xiangxi and his wife were making Old Lady Ji angry, so how could they give them food? Old Lady Ji ate a big dumpling in one mouthful and finished it in no time.

After eating the dumplings, Old Lady Ji asked, "Old Third, what are you going to do?"

Shen Xiangxi didn't dare to look at Old Lady Ji, and lowered his head and said, "Mom, Juan'er is still sick, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Old Lady Ji was angry again: "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with this vixen? If she dares to steal money today, she will dare to poop and pee on my head tomorrow. We in the Shen family definitely don't want such a daughter-in-law!"

"Mom, I'm pregnant with the Shen family's golden grandson!" Du Juan didn't know where she got the courage from, but she suddenly said this.

Old Mrs. Ji laughed angrily: "It's only one month old and we don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. We don't even know whether we want it or not! Anyway, I'm putting it here, I don't want this child. It would be fine if it's born with broken arms and legs, but what if it's a monster! Okay, you stay here, dear, let's go!"

Shen Ruoqing sighed and helped Old Lady Ji leave the county hospital.

"Dad, you must not give up on him. This is our child!" Du Juan held Shen Xiangxi tightly with one hand and touched her belly with the other.

"But the doctor also said that the probability of deformity is very high. Who told you to eat those messed up things?"

"Isn't there a chance that nothing will happen? I think the doctors are just exaggerating. They are afraid that something might happen and they dare not take the responsibility. Shen Xiangxi, this is your son!"

On the way back, Shen Ruoqing took out some orange candy and stuffed it into Old Lady Ji's mouth to make her happy: "Mom, this is what my classmate gave me, but it's from the provincial capital. We can't buy it here. Come and try it."

"My sweet baby is so sensible." Old Mrs. Ji ate an orange candy and stopped eating. She thought she should leave more of this good stuff for her sweet baby.

"I don't think Third Sister-in-law will give up this child."

"If she doesn't give up the child, let the third son divorce her!" Old Mrs. Ji snorted.

"What will happen to Shen Xue and Shen Yun after the divorce? They are still young." Shen Ruoqing was not speaking for Mrs. Du today. She just didn't want the little girl Shen Xue to be without a mother.

"It's better not to have a mother like that!" Old Mrs. Ji was also worried. Although she had been clamoring for Shen Xiangxi to divorce her before, in fact, it was just a bluff to control Mrs. Du. She didn't expect that Mrs. Du would not repent and still wanted to keep the child.
