Chapter 339 The Child’s Situation

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry to bother you then,” Niu’s sister-in-law followed Mingzhu into the courtyard.

Seeing Mingzhu's hands on her waist and her big belly, Sister-in-law Niu was a little surprised: "Sister, were you wearing too many clothes when you came back last time? I didn't even realize that you were pregnant. How many months are you now?"

Mingzhu lowered her head and looked at her belly with tenderness: "Five months."

"Oh, how can you have such a big belly in five months? You're not pregnant with twins."

Mingzhu put her hands on her lower abdomen and pursed her lips: "I think so too. I haven't checked it out yet. When my husband is resting in the next few days, we'll go to the hospital to check it out."

"Oh, if it's really twins, then you're amazing. Twins are not common."

The two entered the house while talking. Mingzhu invited Sister-in-law Niu to sit down. After she made a cup of tea for Sister-in-law Niu, she also sat in the main seat.

"Sister-in-law, I heard from my husband's mother that your family has a tricycle. When Brother Niu has nothing to do, he will go out to do some work, right?"

Sister-in-law Niu nodded and said, "Yes, the one in my family has no skills and can only do hard labor."

"Being able to make money by using your own advantages is called ability."

Sister-in-law Niu felt that the young daughter-in-law's words were really pleasant to the ears.

Mingzhu continued, "Sister-in-law, this is what I mean. I have a cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative in Nanshi. Every Friday morning, we have to send two barrels of medicine cream there by train. We have already negotiated the shipment with the train station. Now I want to hire Brother Niu's car to help me run a trip to the train station to deliver the goods every Friday morning. I wonder if he has time?"

"Oh, yes, yes, his work is not fixed, and it depends on luck every day. If you are willing to use our car, it's not us helping you, but you helping us."

Mingzhu smiled and said, "Those two barrels of goods are about 200 kilograms. I can't deliver them by myself. You promised to help, aren't you helping me? Then we have a deal. Let Brother help me run from next Friday."

"Okay, okay, no problem, sister. You're pregnant now and it's inconvenient for you to move around. If you have any problem, just call me. I can help you with anything I can."

"Then thank you, sister-in-law."

"No need," Mrs. Niu thought she had finished her business and was about to leave without even drinking a sip of water.

Mingzhu seemed to remember something and asked, "Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, there is one more thing. I heard that this yard used to be my wife's ancestral home, so I want to buy it back. Do you have any intention of selling the house? I can offer a high price so that you have enough money to buy a bigger yard nearby."

Sister Niu was stunned for a moment: "Buy a house? We rent this house from the Housing Management Office. Although we have the permanent right to use it, we don't seem to have the right to dispose of it."

"I know, strictly speaking, we are changing houses." In order to prevent policies from not allowing it, they have to learn to adapt like others.

"You give me the house, I'll give you the money, we'll find a witness to help sign an agreement, and then go to the housing management office to register it. Then the right to use the house will belong to me, and I'll pay the rent. You can also use the same method to find vacant house owners who are waiting for money, sign an agreement, and the other party will vacate the house, and you give the money."

Niu Dasao actually knew that although some things were not allowed to be done in public, there were always families who had to buy and sell privately because there were too many people and could not accommodate them... No, it was to exchange houses.

Some time ago, a house was "exchanged" on the opposite street.

But she couldn't make the decision on such a big matter alone.

Mingzhu was not in a hurry: "Okay, sister-in-law, then you go back and discuss it with your family. I can give 1200 yuan. If they all agree, we can talk about it later."

Niu Dasao was shocked. 1200 yuan for three rooms?

The family who moved out on the opposite street lived in a main house that was much bigger than hers. They only exchanged five rooms for 1200 yuan. Everyone was quite surprised. After all, in the current market, a room only costs about 200 yuan. Unexpectedly,

Mingzhu offered 1200 yuan.

You know, even 1000 yuan is not something that everyone can easily afford.

Take her family for example. Every month, apart from the medical expenses for her father-in-law and the living expenses for a family of three, there is really not a penny left!

...

If they move out, they can exchange for a larger yard for 700 or 800 yuan, and they can still have a lot of money left.

She was a little excited: "Sister, I'll go back now... ask my father-in-law and my family, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, moving is a big deal, so you still have to think carefully."

At noon, when Jiang Duo came back on his bicycle, Mingzhu had already prepared lunch.

While eating, Mingzhu began to talk to Jiang Duo about what happened this morning.

Jiang Duo listened quietly and asked: "Don't you think the price is a bit high?"

Mingzhu smiled: "Our location on this street is here, and our house is the closest to the street, so it can't be much higher."

Jiang Duo nodded. She knew the market conditions in the future, so she let her do it.

"In your opinion, is there a good chance that the Niu family can sell the house?"

"Her family is small. Although they don't lack a house, they lack money. I've given them a lot of money, so there's still a lot of hope. If they don't sell it, I can't raise the price anymore, but I can add bargaining chips to other things."

Jiang Duo looked at the bright light in her eyes and nodded, "Okay, as long as you don't feel bad because you can't buy a house."

Mingzhu smiled, "That's not the case. Getting anxious and angry when encountering difficulties is the stupidest way to deal with things. What's the point of having a brain? Isn't it for use?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be worried at all, Jiang Duo felt relieved, "I've dealt with the work this morning. You don't have to go this afternoon. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"Okay."

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa knew I was back this morning, so he called me and asked me to take you home for dinner tomorrow. Can you do that?"

Mingzhu nodded, "Of course, when I accepted the gift from Grandpa, I said that I would get along well with Grandpa. I will go to any invitations from Grandpa in the future. You don't need to ask me, just accept it." After

the two finished their meal, they took the bus to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital based on Hou Xiaoqing's recommendation.

Because this hospital was the first to use ultrasound for obstetrics and gynecology examinations.

The technology used at that time was still A-ultrasound, one-dimensional imaging, and the amount of detected information was small, but it was enough for her who just wanted to confirm the condition of the baby in her belly.

After arriving at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, Mingzhu told her about her situation, and the obstetrician performed an ultrasound examination on her.

Mingzhu lay on the examination bed, and the doctor placed the instrument on her lower abdomen and gently turned it.

Jiang Duo stared at the screen for a long time, but couldn't make sense of it. Instead, the doctor frowned, "Wow..."
