Chapter 528: Chapter 528
Xiao Hong was inside the room holding Nannan, playing with her. Wang Hu came over with a bottle of medicine.
"Don’t forget to take it."
Xiao Hong said, "I don’t want to take cod liver oil. I’m not lacking nutrients, and it really tastes bad." It nauseates me when I take it.
"You’re too skinny. You should take it." Wang Hu pulled her hand over and placed the pill in her palm, but before she could take it, Nannan snatched it and put it in her mouth. The two of them were stunned and then laughed. Nannan was very happy, babbling away.
"I want more, it’s tasty!"
Xiao Hong said, "This little girl has quite the appetite."
Nannan giggled and shook her arm, "Auntie, I want to eat."
"You can only eat one a day. Remember to put things away properly; putting everything in your mouth is not good or safe." Wang Hu smiled and poured another pill for her.
Xiao Hong had no choice but to swallow it. Then she felt a fishy taste spreading in her throat. The source of thɪs content is novel fire.net
"It really tastes bad!"
"It’s just cod liver oil, is it really that bad?"
Xiao Hong waved a hand, "No, I need to drink some water."
She walked out and then felt a violent nausea, hurriedly went to the toilet and vomited thoroughly.
She returned after a long time, her face as white as a sheet.
Wang Hu was dumbfounded, "What’s wrong? Let’s go to the hospital."
Xiao Hong responded, "Okay, we’ll go to the hospital tomorrow."
This surprised Wang Hu because Xiao Hong would usually say it wasn’t necessary and only needed to take medicine whenever she was sick. Who would have thought she’d agree this time.
Xiao Hong glared at Wang Hu, "What are you staring at? Set up the bed; Nannan will sleep with us tonight."
"Really? Didn’t you say you wanted to... talk to me tonight?"
That’s a code between the couple, which means being intimate. The two shared a pretty good relationship.
When Wang Hu was with Bai Fanglan, he didn’t understand the relationship between a man and a woman at first, and later, the emotions cooled down, losing interest.
Bai Fanglan married him with resentment, not liking Wang Hu at all and feeling he wasn’t considerate. She didn’t care about Wang Hu, and they lived like strangers.
However, things were different with Xiao Hong; they had a common language, and Xiao Hong was quite understanding. She knew Wang Hu was passive about feelings and so took the initiative to be good to him, not minding his slow emotional responsiveness.
Wang Hu reciprocated, and their married life was also beautiful.
Xiao Hong rejecting him tonight made Wang Hu more confused.
"Honey, are you angry?"
Xiao Hong touched her belly, "What anger? I’m just uncertain because my period didn’t come this month."
"Really?" Wang Hu laughed immediately, "Is this true? I’ll go tell my parents!"
The couple had yearned for a child eagerly, and they finally got what they wished for.
Xiao Hong pulled him back, "Don’t go! Who knows if it’s true? What if it’s just a false celebration? Let’s wait until we go to the hospital tomorrow."
Then Nannan kept asking what it meant that the period didn’t come.
"Auntie, what’s that?"
"It’s... it’s the immortal, the immortal hasn’t come."
"There’s an immortal?" Nannan blinked her big eyes, looking at her with curiosity.
Xiao Hong had no choice but to tell her many stories about immortals fighting, while Wang Hu listened and shook his head, thinking all of it was nonsense.
Xiao Hong continued making up stories, thinking, once there’s a child, you can’t speak without filters; children’s curiosity is too strong.
Just as Sun Chan said, this year is the Childbearing Goddess’s massive delivery; they went to the hospital and found she was pregnant for more than two months. The doctor said it might be twins, but it wasn’t certain.
"There’s a possibility one might be absorbed by the other, so let’s wait and see."
The couple was thrilled. Wang Hu went out and found a phone booth to inform Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was so happy she cried, "Okay, I know. Hurry up and send your wife back! Take good care of her... Oh, she still has to work? I forgot, can she manage it? If not, take time off to protect the baby. Your wife is a bit older, so be careful."
She gave a lot of instructions and finally hung up the phone, then clasped her hands devoutly to pray.
The husband had been silent behind her, and after a while, he said, "Is it the child we lost earlier that has returned?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned and felt sad too; Bai Fanglan had once been pregnant by Wang Hu, but unfortunately miscarried. They were all very upset afterward. Now the daughter-in-law got pregnant with two at once; maybe this was heaven’s compensation?
Mrs. Wang said, "Don’t say that to Xiao Hong; Bai Fanglan’s wrongdoings have nothing to do with us."
"You’re right. Let’s not mention this. Even if they’re not twins, they’ll still be our grandchild; even if it’s a girl, we must treat her well."
"I know." Mrs. Wang glared at him, "When have I ever favored sons over daughters? But do you know that Bai Fanglan hasn’t been heard from for ages, what’s her situation now? Should we inquire about it?"
Father Wang frowned, "They’ve divorced, so it has nothing to do with us; don’t ask about it. Do you want to see a joke?"
"No, she’s really vindictive; it’s said that before leaving, she even pleaded with Wang Hu, but he ignored her. What if she gets angry and seeks revenge!"
Father Wang frowned and stayed silent. Although he didn’t truly believe it, it’s better to be cautious; staying alert wouldn’t hurt.
They reminded Wang Hu to be careful and tightened security over the community, prohibiting outsiders from entering easily.
Even though Xiao Hong was pregnant, she was very healthy, just a bit nauseous, with no other symptoms. Plus, the Wang Family had two elders able to help, so they didn’t send Nannan back but kept nurturing her here.
Gu Juntao was very concerned about his daughter, often visiting. The relationship between the two families grew better and better.
Sun Chan was also quite busy. She had to manage the store’s business and attend classes, and with exams coming up, she was quite tense. Her husband also had to leave, and preparations were needed.
Although the military personnel took care of Gu Dongfang’s funeral, people couldn’t be missed. She had to go, and Yang Hongying, just slightly better, insisted for a few days and fell ill again.
Gu Zishan couldn’t bear seeing both daughters-in-law fall ill, so he had no choice but to persist himself.
Wang Guihua had recovered early, but because she was passive-aggressive, she refused to be discharged to help.
During this time, Gu Zishan had only hurried over twice, and they parted on bad terms because of retirement issues, leaving Wang Guihua unwilling to do anything.
Gu Zishan felt truly unlucky to have found himself a wife who was indifferent and held no sentiment. She only cared about benefits during his father-in-law’s demise, getting sick due to dissatisfaction about not getting advantages, eventually being hospitalized, and refusing to help with funeral arrangements!
She only cared about money, houses, and benefits, but when it came to needing this daughter-in-law to show face, she hid away!
