The next day, after they had finished getting ready, the two prepared to go to the hospital.
These days, Gu Yanliu has taken on most of the work of making tofu.
Su Nianxue only needed to help with some light tasks.
The little girl is both sensible and diligent, and she manages these things in a very orderly manner.
"Yanliu, you've really had a hard time these past few days," Su Nianxue said with a hint of apology.
She was the one who led her to do it.
Now, it's all Gu Yanliu doing all the work, while I'm just an outsider.
"Sister-in-law, we're all family, why be so formal?"
If we're talking about hard work, you've been the hardest working person in our family these past few days.
Carrying a big belly every day is heavy and inconvenient.
"My work is nothing compared to yours," Gu Yanliu said with a laugh as he loaded things onto the donkey cart.
"That's why people say daughters are considerate."
Yanliu, what you said really hit the nail on the head for your sister-in-law.
"I'm really hoping this baby will be a girl too, so she'll be as sweet and caring as you." She touched her belly and glanced at Gu Yanbai.
"Whatever you say, let's have a daughter." Gu Yanbai smiled and replied with a grin.
The two arrived at the hospital quickly, underwent a thorough examination, and were about to leave with their reports in hand!
Then Yang Hongxing came out of a consultation room with a dejected look on her face, holding a form.
Of course, this was also because Su Nianxue went to the restroom and was delayed for a while; otherwise, she would definitely have missed it.
"Hongxing, what brings you here? Is your stomach still upset?" she called out to her retreating figure.
Yang Hongxing turned around, subconsciously hiding the form in her hand behind her back, and instead of answering, asked, "Nianxue, are you here at the hospital for a check-up?"
"Yes, I haven't been here for a while. I came to the hospital today to visit!"
"How is the baby?" Yang Hongxing looked at her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"The doctor said everything is fine. By the way, is your stomach still upset?"
Yang Hongxing looks a bit haggard today. Could it be that her stomach is still feeling full?
"Yes, I still feel a little uncomfortable." Yang Hongxing gripped the sheet tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force.
"What did the doctor say? Could it be that you really ate something bad that upset your stomach?" Su Nianxue looked at her with a worried expression.
It wouldn't be good to develop health problems at such a young age.
"No, no. The doctor said it will... get better in a few days." There was a hint of complexity in her eyes.
"That's good. You'll have to be more careful in the future."
Su Nianxue sensed that something was off about her expression, but seeing that she didn't seem inclined to say anything, she didn't press the matter further.
"Yanxue, I have something to do, I'll be going now." She said goodbye and left in a hurry.
"Gu Yanbai, don't you think she's acting strange?" she asked, looking at her retreating figure.
"Really? I didn't notice. Okay, let's not concern ourselves with other people's business, let's go back!"
As for Yang Hongxing, she went straight home as soon as she left the hospital.
Her mind was a complete mess, she couldn't sort it out, and all she wanted to do was cover her head and sleep.
Zhou Mingjie was sweeping the floor when she came in, and he was about to say a few words to her.
She acted as if she hadn't seen him at all, went straight to her room, and slammed the door shut.
Zhou Mingjie was a little confused. What was wrong with her?
Judging from this, anyone who didn't know better would think she'd gotten into a fight outside!
He threw down the broom in his hand, went to Yang Hongxing's door, and knocked heavily a few times.
"Yang Hongxing, come out here! Explain yourself! What happened to you? Who offended you?"
There was not a sound in the room. If he hadn't just seen her enter, he would have almost thought no one was there.
"I'll count to three, and if you don't open the door, I'm kicking it down!" He had been keeping a low profile these past few days because he had done something wrong.
But seeing that even after he had humbled himself for so long, she still showed no intention of making amends with him, he was also burning with anger.
He has been making a living on his own since he was a teenager. When has he ever been so humble to anyone?
He felt he had reached his limit.
"One, two..."
Just as the three words were about to be uttered, the person inside slammed the door open. "Speak, what do you want to know?"
Yang Hongxing's face showed a hint of impatience; she really couldn't let anyone have a moment's peace.
She was in a bad mood at the moment, so she didn't care about her attitude. She leaned against the door and asked coldly.
"I just wanted to ask you what's wrong?"
He came back with a sour face. What's wrong? Did you get a terminal illness? He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.
That mouth of hers really has a way of saying the most nasty things.
She already ignored him, and now that he's said this, she'll probably hate him even more.
Sure enough, Yang Hongxing's impatience turned completely to ashen.
"Yes, I have a terminal illness. I'm about to die. Are you happy now?"
She turned and went inside, the door slamming shut again. Just looking at him made her feel uncomfortable.
She stared at the lab report on the bed; the symbols on it were so glaring.
On the way back, she had some hesitation. After all, it was a life, and he should... know that, right?
But after seeing his attitude, the slight reluctance in my heart completely vanished.
Fine, if we're going to break up, let's break up completely!
The sooner this is resolved, the better.
"Yang Hongxing, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened to you?"
Zhou Mingjie received such a seemingly plausible but ultimately unsettling answer, and his already anxious heart seemed to hang even higher.
"Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?" Yang Hongxing yelled at the door, her voice was so loud it gave me a headache.
Why didn't I find him so annoying before?
"Okay, okay, then you rest, and we'll talk about it when you're rested."
But a day passed, and Yang Hongxing showed no intention of explaining anything to him.
On the contrary, this morning I didn't even go out to buy steamed buns.
Anything that seems out of the ordinary is suspicious!
He knew how persistent she had been about this matter these past few days. The fact that she had quietly stopped going meant there must be something going on.
Zhou Mingjie wanted to ask her what she was really up to.
But he really had something to do today and had to go out.
Never mind, I'll ask when I get back!
Yang Hongxing had actually woken up a long time ago. She had gotten into the habit of getting up early to make steamed buns these days, and she would wake up on her own at the appointed time.
But she didn't want to face Zhou Mingjie, fearing that he would grab her again and ask her all sorts of questions.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it and would reveal everything.
At that point, who knows how to handle the situation?
Therefore, she waited until he left the room before lifting the blanket off her body.
After quickly tidying up, I headed straight to the hospital.
She sat on a wooden bench outside the clinic, holding the medical prescription in her hand.
So nervous, the order form in my hand was soaked with sweat.
