She will go to the hospital tomorrow morning to find out whether it is true or not to clear up her confusion. She won't let anyone know this in advance.
Then she can travel freely for a few days. It's a rare opportunity for her to come out, and it's not her style to rush back without having a good time.
Anyway, a batch of goods has already arrived, and Boss He promised to take care of the follow-up matters. They will be delivered directly to Xingyang County, where Zhang Fu will receive the goods and put them into the warehouse.
Zhang Fu had always been very interested in the black market and would often go there to learn more about it, but he did not dare to make any move because he had no money. In the past six months, in order to search for antiques and old items, he had taken advantage of holidays to visit villages and towns, and had almost traveled to several surrounding counties and cities. He had done some market research in advance, and Meng Tao discussed and worked out several trading methods with him. After receiving the goods, he naturally knew what to do.
You will definitely be hesitant at the beginning, but it will get better as you gain experience.
Meng Tao closed the door and prepared to go into the space to take a shower when Shen Yu called.
After talking on the phone for more than 20 minutes, Meng Tao told Shen Yu where she had been today and that she would go to the hospital tomorrow. Shen Yu was worried that she was alone outside, so he suggested that she come back to see the doctor, or else he could ask Sun Hong to arrange for a reliable doctor. Meng Tao disagreed: It was just a small check-up, which doctor would not be reliable? She said that she was completely fine alone, and that she would talk about it tomorrow if there was any problem.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Tao went straight into the space, practiced martial arts, took a bath, cooked delicious food, did whatever she needed to do, and then slept comfortably. However, she didn't know that Shen Yu tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and he only regretted that he didn't grow wings so that he could fly to his little wife in an instant.
The next morning, Meng Tao went to the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou for a gynecological examination. The female doctor told her: "Congratulations, you are going to be a mother."
Although it was expected, Meng Tao was still shocked and her heart was pounding.
It was only at this time that she felt that pregnancy was a big event!
There is a little life growing in my belly. How wonderful and great!
As my hand gently stroked my abdomen, a thousand thoughts raced through my mind: excitement, panic, faint joy, and an inexplicable urge to cry due to a sore nose.
Walking out of the hospital and seeing the public telephone booth, Meng Tao controlled herself and did not go in to make a call: It was not a good idea to tell others about this for the time being, and Shen Yu was currently working hard and might even be at the negotiation table, so she could not influence him.
Meng Tao decided to have breakfast first. The doctor said that she had to pay attention to many things in the first three months, especially to ensure nutrition, so that the fetus would develop well and be healthy and smart after birth. She had to eat well in the future and not go hungry.
She strolled along the street to find the state-owned teahouse. Because she was thinking about something, she unconsciously ignored the movements around her. She always walked properly, a habit she had developed since childhood, but there were always people who walked without looking at the road. A short young man was in a hurry. The sidewalk was not wide enough for him to cross, so he came from behind and bumped into Meng Tao.
Meng Tao was knocked off guard and the short young man quickly held her with both hands and apologized repeatedly. Although Meng Tao was annoyed, what else could she do after he apologized? She was too lazy to pay attention to him and pushed him away.
The short young man immediately took a few quick steps forward, and suddenly he jumped over the green belt, trying to cross the road and run to the opposite street.
Meng Tao realized something was wrong and took a look at her bag. Damn! There was a cut, and the blade was neat. The wallet inside was taken away! It was obvious how sharp the blade in the thief's hand was. If he wanted to hurt someone... Just thinking about it made her scalp numb.
Because she was going to the hospital for a physical examination today, Meng Tao dressed up like a female office worker, wearing a white shirt with a small lapel and short sleeves, a light blue pleated skirt, and carrying a brown square double-buckle leather bag.
Meng Tao has a personal space, and the bag she usually carries is just for show. Basically, she doesn't put valuables in it. Except for a handkerchief, wallet, keys and some expired paper certificates, the money and bills in her wallet are not worth more than one hundred yuan.
Meng Tao put down her purse, looked up and saw that the thief had already run across the street, and she chased after him without saying a word.
Instead of shouting to catch the thief and asking passers-by for help, Meng Tao chased the thief by himself. If he caught the thief, he would be dead. It was so abominable. Not only did he steal her money, but he also destroyed her favorite bag.
The thief stopped on the other side of the road and looked at Meng Tao fearlessly with a smug look on his face. He really didn't believe that Meng Tao could cross the road to catch him. This was a main road with four lanes and a fence in the middle. He usually climbed over the fence as if it was a game. How could that girl be so capable...
When Meng Tao easily jumped over the fence with one leap, and then jumped directly onto the curb on this side, his speed was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. The thief's face changed immediately, and he had a bad premonition. He threw Meng Tao's wallet to the ground, turned around and ran away.
Now that Meng Tao was there, there was no way he could get away. She bent over to pick up the wallet, and chased the thief into a relatively quiet street. Seeing a small four-legged wooden stool at the door of a house, she raised her toes and kicked forward, hitting the thief on the back of his foot, causing him to fall to the ground.
Meng Tao stepped forward and kicked the thief hard, controlling her strength so as not to break his arms or legs. The main reason was that she was in a different mood today: her baby was still young, and she didn't want him to see a bloody scene.
But the thief couldn't feel comfortable either, as they specifically kicked him in the acupuncture points, causing him to feel excruciating pain. His screams and howls soon attracted a crowd of onlookers, who asked what was going on. Some were also curious: How could a woman beat a man like this?
Meng Tao showed her backpack and told everyone: "This thief used a blade to cut my bag and stole my money. Fortunately, I have learned martial arts since elementary school, otherwise I would not be able to catch him and would not even have money to eat."
When everyone heard that it was a thief, who wouldn't hate him if they had their money stolen? They shouted, "Well done, well done, even if you beat him to death, it doesn't matter!"
A kind-hearted person told Meng Tao: "Lady, the police station is a few dozen meters east of this alley. Send the thief there and lock him up for ten or eight years. This will rid the people of harm."
Meng Tao: “…”
Well, I’ve become a heroine.
It seems that by this time, Jin Yong's martial arts novels had already spread to Guangzhou.
When the thief heard that he was going to the police station, he immediately cried and said that his arms and legs were broken and he couldn't walk. Someone brought a hemp rope from home and asked Meng Tao to tie up the thief and drag him to the police station.
Meng Tao didn't want to go to so much trouble. She kicked the thief twice on the painful points on his body and ordered him to get up. The thief then got up and walked by himself.
There are more interesting things in the city than in the countryside. People come to watch the fun, but no one wants to go to the police station. After all, that’s not a good place.
Meng Tao was escorting the thief by herself. Before she walked out of the alley, the thief suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of her, crying, "Please, lady, let me go. I didn't mean to steal your money. Someone asked me to do this!"
