"But your mental state is really bad right now. Even I, a pregnant woman, am not as anxious as you."
"Honey, don't worry about me. I wish I could take your place. Seeing how hard you're working, I regret getting you pregnant."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The child can hear voices outside now. How can you say such things? It will hurt the child's feelings."
"They've been tormenting you like this, I'll deal with them as soon as I get out."
"Hehe, how are you going to discipline me? Spank me? That's too little, isn't it?"
Zhang Shouyi was speechless. He knew what he had said was naive, but he really felt sorry for his wife.
Since she came to be with me, she hasn't been living the life she wanted, and I'm always the one holding her back. I really have no other choice but to hope my wife can be happier.
"Brother Zhang, you don't need to be like this. I'm really fine. There are only two more months until the baby is born. Don't be so nervous. It's making me feel so anxious."
"Honey, you've worked so hard."
"Heh, what's the point of saying all this? We can't return it now, can we?"
"Yes, there's no way to return them now." Zhang Shouyi placed his hand on his wife's belly, feeling for the babies' movements.
Their place was quite cozy, but Er Ya came out of the toilet with a pale face; it was disgusting.
"Liu Erya, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I probably just had an upset stomach. I have an exam tomorrow, sorry to bother everyone."
"It's nothing, but you look really unwell. Why don't you go to the infirmary?"
"It's alright, I can manage without dinner. Don't worry about these things, go to sleep."
The next two days were exams. Er Ya felt nauseous and uncomfortable whenever she ate, but she didn't feel hungry when she didn't eat, and her spirits were actually quite good.
After discovering this, Er Ya simply stopped eating and only drank a cup of water for the entire day. Only after finishing the last exam and relaxing did she realize that her whole body was sore.
I reached up and touched my forehead; there was no sign of a fever. But finally, the exams were over, and I could go home.
I just need to pack my luggage in the dorm into a box; everything else was packed a long time ago.
Zhu Zi had come to wait for her early on. The two of them took a car home together.
"Er Ya, you look terrible. Shall we go to the hospital to get you checked out?"
"I'm not going today, it's so late. We'll talk about it tomorrow. I just want to sleep now."
The two parted ways and went home separately.
Although it's summer, Er Ya still endured the discomfort and lit a fire to boil water, since no one had lived in the house for several days.
Besides, I think taking a hot bath would be very relaxing and comfortable.
The next day, the knocking woke Er Ya up again. She felt like she couldn't get enough sleep, but the knocking on the door continued relentlessly.
Suddenly there was no movement, and Er Ya fell back onto the bed, closed her eyes, and immediately fell asleep.
Wang Ying had something to do at the service company yesterday, so she couldn't pick up Er Ya. This morning, when she came over, she saw that the gate was locked from the inside, so she knocked. She wanted to go to the compound to see Hong Mei today, as she and Er Ya had agreed last week.
But no matter how much they knocked, there was no response. Finally, in desperation, they jumped over the wall to get in.
Seeing Er Ya fast asleep on the bed, Wang Ying laughed in exasperation. How sleepy was she? She couldn't even wake her up by knocking on the door?
I woke Er Ya up. Looking at her drowsy state, I asked, "How tired are you? Did the exams make you like this?"
"Don't say anything, I wasn't feeling well before the exam."
"Hurry up and wash up. I'll go buy you some food."
"No need, I have no appetite. I'll wash up right away. Let's hurry up and go see Hongmei. It's been so long since we've seen her."
"No rush, take your time. The pillar hasn't arrived yet."
As they were talking, they heard a knock on the door. Wang Ying went to open it.
"Wang Ying. You're up so early?"
"Hmm, isn't it a bit early?"
The three set off half an hour later, and only after registering their detailed information at the entrance of the compound were they allowed to pass.
Zhu Zi let out a sigh of relief. "Isn't this a bit too strict?"
"It's alright. These are all important people, so of course they'll be strict."
Wang Ying had been here before, and she knew the way well, driving up to the gate and greeting them. The gate opened, and she drove into the yard.
The three of them got off the bus again. Zhu Zi thought to himself that he should try to come here less often in the future, because he felt nervous.
The three entered the living room, where Zhang Hongmei was slowly strolling around.
"You three can sit down. I have five minutes left before I can rest."
Er Ya looked at Zhang Hongmei in surprise, "Did you put a pot on your stomach?"
"Get lost, I don't have time for you right now." Couldn't you have been more precise? People who tell the truth are so annoying.
When Zhang Hongmei, panting, was helped to sit down by Han Mei and Su Chen, she glared at Er Ya.
"Sister Er Ya, why do you look so pale? Su Chen, please take a look at Er Ya."
At this moment, the old lady and Hu Aifen also came out.
Su Chen sat down next to Er Ya and gestured for her to reach out her hand.
"It's nothing, I'm just pregnant," Su Chen said casually, but everyone in the living room was shocked.
Zhang Hongmei laughed, "That's great! I bet Cheng Guangxu will be ecstatic when he hears this news."
Er Ya was startled for a moment, thinking that she hadn't had her period since she got married, and she had neglected it because of the stress of studying for the exam.
The old lady and Hu Aifen were both quite happy. Hu Aifen gave them many instructions on what to pay attention to.
"Er Ya, you should move to my house today. I feel at ease with your aunt around."
Er Ya thought about it and didn't refuse. "Well, I'll go today, otherwise I'm not sure if I can make the right decision."
Only Wang Ying's smile seemed somewhat forced. Zhang Hongmei, seeing her strange expression, understood.
"Su Chen, could you take a look at Wang Ying's situation?"
Wang Ying was a little scared, but she was also really anxious. It had been almost ten months since they got married. Although they spent little time together, it was still longer than Er Ya and Cheng Guangxi. But why was there no sign of a baby?
“Zhang Hongmei, I’m not an expert in gynecology, but I know that Wang Ying doesn’t have any major health problems.”
"That means the child's time hasn't come yet. Wang Ying, you don't need to worry," the old lady comforted Wang Ying.
"Don't worry, wait for Zeng Zhongkang to come back and have Dr. Sun take a look. This is essential. If both of you are fine, then it's just as Grandma said, the child's time hasn't come yet."
Wang Ying felt bitter inside, but she still nodded.
"Don't try to fool me. I know what kind of person you are. You need to know the result no matter what."
"Hongmei, don't worry, I know what's important."
Fearing they would stay too long and Zhang Hongmei would get tired, the three said goodbye and left in less than an hour.
