The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl-Chapter 355 - 351: Aunt is Pregnant_1

Chapter 355: Chapter 351: Aunt is Pregnant_1

While he was thinking, Xiao Mo saw Mr. Wu, the elderly teacher coming out of the school.

He paid his respects to Mr. Wu, “So, it’s Mr. Wu. What brings you to this village?”

Mr. Wu squinted for a while before recognizing that the man before him was Xiao Mo, the grandson of the Imperial Tutor Xiao. “So it is Young Master Xiao. What brings you here?”

Xiao Mo replied truthfully, “I’ve come to ask the young Doctor Yingbao to prepare medicines.”

Mr. Wu nodded, turned to leave but suddenly asked, “Didn’t you go to quell the rebellion? How come you have time to come back?”

“The bandits have been annihilated, but the frontier is in urgent need, so I specifically came here to prepare some medicines to take with me.”

Mr. Wu stroked his beard, “I see.”

He wanted to ask a few more questions but had the urgency to use the restroom. So, he bowed to Xiao Mo and excused himself.

At this time, a few young boys ran out of the school, one of them was Wei Zhan.

Upon seeing Xiao Mo, Wei Zhan’s eyes lit up. He quickly ran over, grabbed his sleeve and exclaimed, “Brother Xiao, how come you’re here?”

Xiao Mo brushed off his hand, straightened his sleeves and replied, “I have important matters at hand. I haven’t asked you yet, why are you in the village?”

Wei Zhan proudly replied, “I’m studying at the school here.”

He not only studied academics but also practiced martial arts with Huzi, Jiang Wu, Zhang Min, and others. Now, he alone could take down three others.

With this thought, Wei Zhan suddenly attacked Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo reacted very swiftly, subduing him in almost a single move.

Wei Zhan was shocked, “Why are you so powerful? No! I want a rematch!”

In this way, Wei Zhan and Xiao Mo sparred back and forth at least ten times, eventually improving from being defeated in one move to two moves.

“Alright, go play by yourself.” Xiao Mo dusted off his sleeves and walked away.

Wei Zhan was quite disheartened.

Having learned for so long, he couldn’t even last two moves against Xiao Mo. How embarrassing.

Huzi and Jiang Wu walked over, looking enviously at the armored cavalrymen, “They look so mighty, I want to ride on the battlefield in armor someday.”

“Dream on!” Jiang Wu retorted, “Big sister said our martial arts training is for strengthening our bodies and protecting our parents and family. If we all go to the battlefield, who will protect them?”

Wei Zhan:…

He found this quite reasonable.

No, everything that Yingbao said seems to make sense.

Huzi disagreed, “But if the Jurchens attack, and we don’t go to the battlefield, won’t they directly attack our homes?”

The rest of the boys:…

Alright, everyone seemed to have a point.

“Seventh Young Master, I’ve been looking for you.” Mrs. Chen Feng walked up briskly, holding a covered food box in her hand.

She handed the food box to Wei Zhan, smilingly said, “This is freshly made mutton buns prepared by me. Do give it a try.”

Wei Zhan pushed back the food box, sternly replied, “Thanks Elderly Chen, but…I do not like mutton buns. You should take it back.”

Mrs. Chen sighed, took back the food box, softly asked, “Then, what does Seventh Young Master like to eat? I will prepare it when I find time.”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself, I usually eat at Jiang Wu’s house, they have plenty of everything.” Wei Zhan restrained his impatience, said, “I need to leave.” He turned and ran away.

Huzi and Jiang Wu also followed and ran away, leaving only Zhang Min all by himself.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Min also quickly followed and ran away.

Mrs. Chen watched as the boys all left, she sighed, turned around and went home.

Neither of her own granddaughters has gotten married, Chen Wan is already fourteen and Chen Zhao is twelve. Initially, Seventh Young Master Wei was their first choice, but ever since she discovered a certain secret, all she could do was sigh in despair.

But, after all, Young Master Wei Qi was the legitimate heir of his family and also his junior, and he was studying here alone. It was only right for him to be nice to him.

However, it seemed like Wei Zhan didn’t think highly of the Chen family, and he didn’t seem to appreciate her goodwill.

Sigh, nevermind. She had done all she was supposed to do. If the family head asked, she could answer.

Two days later, Yingbao finally finished preparing all the medicine and packaged them one by one in wax shells.

Xiao Mo checked the pills and medicinal powder first before confirming their efficacy was the same as previous times. He gladly paid in silver taels before finally leaving with his entourage.

Yingbao made several hundred taels and happily spent ten to treat her family to a feast.

During the meal, Yanru kept feeling nauseous, especially when she smelled the roast lamb, she even covered her nose and ran out of the room.

Jiang Liu turned her head and asked her second son, “Could Yanru be pregnant?”

Jiang Erlang was also surprised and put down his wine cup to check on his wife: “I’ll go and have a look.”

He got to the door and turned back to call Yingbao: “Yingbao, come and check your second aunt’s pulse.”

Yingbao responded and ran back into the room to fetch her small medicine box.

When she arrived at the second uncle’s home, the second aunt Yanru was lying in bed, her eyes closed, resting.

Jiang Erlang softly patted his wife’s chest, repeatedly asking her what was wrong.

Yanru patted her husband’s hand, “It’s okay, maybe I’ve been drinking cold water these past few days, and my stomach is uncomfortable.”

Jiang Erlang laughed, “Why do I think you might be pregnant? Since Yingbao is here, stretch out your hand and let Yingbao take your pulse.”

Yanru nodded and extended her wrist.

Yingbao first took her pulse, then listened to her belly with a stethoscope before confirming: “Second auntie is definitely pregnant.”

Jiang Erlang was over the moon, and quickly asked, “Does your second aunt have a single child or twins in her stomach?”

Yingbao: “A single child, probably about four months.”

At these words, Yanru covered her face and started to cry.

She was finally pregnant. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

No longer the barren hen people gossip about.

To avoid hearing rumors, she hardly left the house, not daring to chat with the village wives.

Now, she can finally walk outside with head held high. Washing clothes and vegetables no longer needed to be done hidden from the village women.

Seeing his wife crying, Jiang Erlang quickly soothed, “Don’t be afraid, the first phase of pregnancy can be a bit hard, but afterwards it gets better. What do you want to eat? I’ll go get it.”

Yanru wiped her tears and managed a small laugh: “I’ve been wanting to eat apricots these past few days.”

“Alright, I’ll go pick some now.” Jiang Erlang joyfully ran off to the orchard to pick apricots.

Yingbao packed up her medicine box and didn’t know what else to say.

Although she could detect that the second auntie was pregnant, she was not very knowledgeable about issues concerning pregnancy and childbirth.

“Second auntie, why don’t we have second uncle invite the midwife, Zhang, from the town to come take a look?” Yingbao seriously said: “I don’t really know much about prenatal and childbirth matters, I just roughly estimated the month, in case I made a mistake, that would be bad.”

Yanru nodded, “Alright, when your second uncle comes back, I’ll tell him.”

In actuality, Yanru was also quite nervous. It took her a lot of effort to get pregnant, and she feared that a careless mistake might cause her to miscarry.

When Jiang Erlang came back with a lot of bright yellow apricots, Yanru told him what her niece had said, “Baobao said she doesn’t know much about pregnancy and childbirth. She asked you to go to the town and invite the midwife, Zhang, to come and check.”

Jiang Erlang didn’t have any objections and immediately harnessed the horse cart and drove to the town.

When he got to Chuanhe Town, he found a line of carts, there were horse carts, mule carts, donkey carts, and many of them were stopping at the town to rest and replenish their food and water.

Upon inquiry, he learned that they were all fleeing from Beijing.
