Thinking about what she had just seen in her mind, if it weren't for the strict rule in the script that "you can't mention splitting up the family, nor can you be split up; you have to wait for the plot to develop," she would have agreed immediately when the old lady said it.
She lowered her head, gently touched her belly, and murmured, "Baby, this is also my first time being a mother. Please guide me."
Thinking back to her previous life when she was all alone, Shen Banxia couldn't help but shake her head. She never expected that she would be living in a different era in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, this time she not only awakened her memories of her previous life but also obtained the script content.
"Hiss hiss hiss~".
Shen Banxia opened her eyes and looked helplessly at the man who had returned. "Aren't you afraid that your mother will break your legs?"
"Hehe, don't worry, Mom may look fierce, but as long as she's not around Zhou Mingjiao, she's a normal person." He then changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat cautious, "Wife, what you said about being pregnant, you were lying to Mom, right?"
He knew his situation. In fact, he had hesitated at first, but he was just not comfortable entrusting Xiaxia to others. He really was a selfish person.
"Of course not, you know I can take your pulse," Shen Banxia said with a bright smile. At this moment, she couldn't wait to share her joy with her lover, placing Zhou Mingqian's hand on her belly. "Look, our baby is here."
Zhou Mingqian was frozen in place until he touched his belly and felt the reality. He grinned foolishly and said, "Hehe, I, I'm going to be a dad! Xiaxia, I'm going to be a dad! You, you're going to be a mom!" He laughed and laughed, "Waaah, Xiaxia, I don't have to feel sorry for you anymore. It's so great, we have a baby!"
Shen Banxia wiped his face with her hand and said with feigned disgust, "You crybaby, the baby will laugh at you as his father," but her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Because of this incident, the two almost didn't end up together.
Later, Zhou Mingqian joked that it was fortunate that he was selfish enough, but how could Shen Banxia not know the pressure he was under?
Putting everything else aside, just the gossip in the village... if Zhou Mingqian hadn't had such a strong heart, he probably would have...
Zhou Mingqian carefully embraced Shen Banxia as if she were a fragile piece of porcelain, like holding a child, and gently rested his head on her body, promising, "Wife, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to earn money, and I will take good care of you and the baby."
"Yes, I believe you," Shen Banxia believed Zhou Mingqian.
Actually, Shen Banxia still finds it quite amazing. In her previous life, she was an orphan who worked hard to get into medical school and was known as a "surgical master". She bought a house and a car, but in the end, she was pushed down the stairs by a patient's family and died.
She is human, not a god; she can only treat illnesses, not save lives, but the family member has already gone mad.
Ironically, she already had less than a month to live, and who could have predicted that she, at such a young age, would suffer from heart disease.
During her fall, she told herself that she would never touch medicine again in her next life, because it was tiring and thankless.
But life is unpredictable. In this life, she has a family. Her family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. She has been exposed to it since childhood, and even if she was resistant, she automatically remembered it.
As for the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine (observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation), she dared not relax at all under her grandfather's strict teaching from a young age. Therefore, despite her inner resistance, she mastered everything she was supposed to learn and master.
Perhaps it was because of the deep psychological trauma of falling from a building in his previous life. Since he came to Zhoujiazhuang under the guise of being an educated youth sent to the countryside, apart from revealing his medical skills when he saved Zhou Mingqian, he had never used them again.
Therefore, no one else in the family knew.
It's just that the pregnancy is still in its early stages, so she can't say it yet, but what can she do when she has the script in her hands?
Thinking back to the script, she had been pretending to be sick and resting at home, but Zhou Mingjiao forced her to go to work under the pretext of "leaders going to the countryside for inspection." She fell and lost her child, and now she has to rely on medication for the rest of her life and can never have children again. Zhou Mingqian also turned evil and kept opposing the beloved female lead, Zhou Mingjiao. In the end, neither of them had a good ending.
Thinking about how difficult this pregnancy was, she heard her husband say, "Honey, I think you should stop going to work and go back to work. I'll talk to Mom about it after I get off work."
"Honey, why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Mingqian felt a little embarrassed when he saw his wife staring at him with bright eyes.
Of course, this is just an illusion. "Hehe, honey, you also think my suggestion is great, right?"
Although I just said to make money, that's a man's own business.
"Of course, it's about Mother's side." Shen Banxia knew her mother-in-law's personality well; apart from Zhou Mingjiao, every woman in the family had to earn work points.
If I weren't so good at slacking off, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep up.
She wasn't as honest as her second sister-in-law; even when she was already exhausted, she still worked incredibly hard.
Thinking back to her past life, she was a king who lived and died in countless scrolls, getting up earlier than the rooster and sleeping later than the dog. Although it was for making money, it was also to treat the sick and save lives.
And what happened? He only had one month left to live, and then he was pushed down the stairs. Unbelievable.
She said she couldn't do a losing business, because she would spend money and effort and end up losing her life.
Shen Banxia was extremely frustrated; right now, she felt like a complete couch potato.
The script was absolutely right: "She's lazy, greedy, and always trying to take advantage of others; she's the village's most famous gossip queen." As for the latter, it was a new hobby she developed after arriving in Zhoujiazhuang.
She used to feel that she hadn't seen enough of the world.
Zhou Mingqian patted his chest and said with great masculinity, "Leave it to me."
Thinking of her husband's usual behavior—throwing tantrums, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide—she thought, "Alright, the arduous task is handed over to Comrade Zhou Mingqian."
"We are determined to complete the mission."
The couple were busy showing off their skills, but little did they know that Zhou Mingjiao was up to her old tricks.
Seeing her mother working hard, Zhou Mingjiao couldn't help but say, "Mom, take a break. Look, my older brother hasn't come back from the outhouse yet."
Zhou's mother put down the hoe and said, "Your eldest brother went to see your sister-in-law."
Zhou Mingjiao was dissatisfied. "Mother, my eldest brother is slacking off again. What's so great about being pregnant?" She felt uneasy and knew she had to do something.
"Never mind them, Jiaojiao, you should go home quickly, the sun is very strong right now," Zhou's mother said with concern.
My darling had worked so hard to achieve her fair skin.
"Mom, why don't you come with me?" Zhou Mingjiao thought that with Zhou Mingqian's rotten character, he definitely wouldn't listen to her without her mother's permission.
She had clearly forgotten Zhou Mingqian's slippery, adaptable nature.
“You haven’t finished work yet, Jiaojiao, you go home first,” Zhou’s mother said, feeling that she could still keep working.
Zhou Mingjiao had no choice but to go back by herself. Unexpectedly, she overheard her older brother and his wife discussing not going to work, and she immediately exploded.
