Chapter 112: She’s been pregnant for two months?
Jiang Jianhua held the ginger tea bowl, and did not let go even though his fingertips were burned red.
The brown sugar slowly dissolved in the hot water, and the sweet aroma mixed with the spicy ginger smell filled the air. She suddenly covered her mouth with a "wow" and rushed out again.
Yuxia stood up and her apron string brushed against the stove, knocking over the porcelain bowl of hawthorns.
The red fruits rolled all over the floor, but she didn't bother to pick them up: "Second brother's wife's reaction..."
She suddenly grasped Yun Tangyin's hand, her palm burning like fire. "Yinyin, do you remember what Doctor Zhang said?"
Yun Tangyin's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she glanced at the calendar on the stove.
Jiang Jianhua's period seemed to have come last month.
"Mom, I'll go get Doctor Zhang." Yun Tangyin suddenly spoke, her voice trembling slightly, "Just say...just say that my second sister-in-law isn't feeling well."
Song Yushuang paused while cracking melon seeds, and the shells slipped from his fingers: "Could it be..."
Yun Tangyin suddenly ran into the yard, her cotton shoes squeaking on the snow. "I'll go right away! Doctor Zhang's house is nearby!"
When Jiang Jianhua came back from the toilet, his face was as white as a piece of paper.
She looked at the hawthorns scattered on the ground and suddenly squatted down to pick them up. The sharp thorns of the red fruits pricked her fingertips and caused blood to drop without her noticing: "Why did they fall down..."
Yu Xia quickly pulled her up and stuffed a ball of cotton into her hand: "Don't pick it up, the ground is cold."
She helped Jiang Jianhua sit next to Song Yushuang, "Just sit still, I'll make you some millet porridge to nourish your stomach."
Yun Tangyin's voice came from outside the door: "Doctor Zhang, please come in! Our second sister-in-law's condition..."
Doctor Zhang came in with his medicine box on his back, his white coat stained with snow.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Jianhua grabbed her wrist with such force that it seemed to crush her bones: "Doctor Zhang, do I have some strange disease?"
Doctor Zhang took Yu Xia's pulse, his brows slowly relaxed. Suddenly, he looked up at her and asked, "Has your husband slept with you recently?"
Jiang Jianhua's face flushed red, and he stammered, "It happened a few times a while ago."
"That's right." Doctor Zhang released her hand and rummaged through the medicine box. "Congratulations, you're two months pregnant."
"What?" Jiang Jianhua stood up suddenly, causing the table on the kang to shake and the ginger tea bowl to fall to the ground and break into eight pieces. "I... I'm pregnant?"
Yu Xia's porridge spoon clanged into the pot, splashing Xiaomi all over her apron. "Really? Doctor Zhang, are you sure?"
"It's for sure." Doctor Zhang took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to her. "This is folic acid. Take one tablet every day. Be careful for the first three months. Don't overwork yourself, and don't touch cold water."
She suddenly remembered something and glanced at Yun Tangyin, "You have to keep eating, Acheng asked me to keep an eye on you."
Yun Tangyin's face suddenly turned red. She added some firewood to the stove. The firelight cast her shadow on the wall, making it sway.
Song Yushuang suddenly slapped her thigh, tears almost falling: "God has eyes! If Yuanshan knew about this, he would be so happy!"
She stuffed a red cloth bag into Jiang Jianhua's hand and said, "This is for you."
Jiang Jianhua squeezed the heavy cloth bag and suddenly laughed out loud. As he laughed, tears fell again. "I thought... I thought there was no hope in this life."
She suddenly grabbed Yuxia's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I always quarreled with you before, please don't take it to heart."
Yu Xia wiped her tears and poured a spoonful of porridge into her bowl: "Silly girl, why are you talking nonsense to your family?"
She added a spoonful of brown sugar to the porridge and said, "Eat it quickly to fill your stomach."
When Fu Yuanshan walked in with a load of firewood on his shoulder, he saw Jiang Jianhua touching his belly and laughing.
He leaned the carrying pole against the wall and swept his frosty eyes over the mess on the table - broken porcelain bowls, scattered hawthorns, and the thing wrapped in red cloth in Jiang Jianhua's hand.
"I heard a commotion outside the door. What happened?" He untied his frozen scarf, his tone cold.
Song Yushuang was about to speak when Jiang Jianhua suddenly held her hand, his fingertips trembling violently: "Nothing."
Fu Yuanshan's eyes fell on her face, his brows knitted into a knot: "Why are you so pale?"
"Maybe he caught a cold." Yu Xia quickly tried to smooth things over and added some firewood to the stove. "I made millet porridge for my second brother and his wife. Drink it while it's hot."
Fu Yuanshan didn't move. He walked straight to Jiang Jianhua and grabbed her wrist fiercely.
The force was much stronger than when Doctor Zhang took her pulse, and she gasped in pain: "What are you doing?"
"I'm asking you, are you pregnant?" His voice was as low as a sharp knife. "Has Doctor Zhang been here?"
Jiang Jianhua's face lost its color, he bit his lip and said nothing.
The flames in the stove crackled, making the sinister look in Fu Yuanshan's eyes even more intense.
"Speak!" He suddenly shook off her hand. Jiang Jianhua staggered and groaned in pain.
This scene made Yu Xia and Yun Tangyin standing by, not knowing what to say.
Song Yushuang's eyes swept across the two men's faces, and finally decided to listen to what Fu Yuanshan had to say first.
"So what?" She suddenly looked up, tears mixed with stubbornness, "Fu Yuanshan, I'm pregnant with your child, aren't you happy?"
"Happy?" Fu Yuanshan suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter full of coldness, "I'm telling you, we can't have this child!"
Song Yu crushed the melon seed shells in his hands with a snap: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's your own flesh and blood!"
"Your own flesh and blood?" Fu Yuanshan suddenly raised his voice. "She lost her Dabao when she was giving birth to him. She bled so much that half a basin was covered in blood. The doctor said she'd die if she got pregnant again! Who of you will die for her?"
Yun Tangyin was originally ready to scold him.
Hearing this, she stopped.
If Jiang Jianhua is unable to have children due to physical reasons, then this is indeed a problem...
Jiang Jianhua was already standing there in a daze, his face covered in tears.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he pushed Fu Yuanshan away and shouted, "I'm going to have this child! Even if I die, it's none of your business!"
She used some strength but failed to push Fu Yuanshan and instead staggered a few steps.
Yu Xia reached out to support Jiang Jianhua, frowning at Fu Yuanshan: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if there are any difficulties, we should work together to find a solution. After all, she is pregnant with your child, how can you say that?"
Song Yushuang also nodded and slapped Fu Yuanshan on the shoulder: "That's your wife. It's fine if you don't say nice things to her, but you still have the nerve to yell at her? Go, go coax her!"
Only then did Fu Yuanshan frown and look at Jiang Jianhua who was crying.
He lowered his head reluctantly and patted Jiang Jianhua's arm.
Just when everyone thought it was over...
Fu Yuanshan suddenly said with a cold face: "When you have time, go to the medical team to get some medicine and give this child an abortion." These words exploded in the room like a thunderclap, and Yun Tangyin frowned immediately.
