Chapter 229 - A Baby
Chapter 229: A Baby
Qin Xueru quickly noticed Su Yayan’s strange expression. She frowned and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Su Yayan snapped out of her trance and said anxiously, “Aunt Qin, please extend your hand.”
“My hand?” Although Qin Xueru was confused, she still did as she was told.
Su Yayan felt her pulse, and the uncertainty in her eyes was quickly replaced by pure excitement.
“What happened? Yanyan, why are you holding your aunt’s hand?”
“I’m taking my aunt’s pulse!”
“Taking her pulse?” Cheng Xiuqin frowned.” What do you mean by taking her pulse?”
“Taking a pulse is by feeling someone’s pulse on the wrist.”
When Su Yayan said this, Qin Xueru and Cheng Xiuqin both looked surprised.
In this era, most herbs were extinct, and Chinese medicine only existed in the scientific literature. Few people knew about it.
After hearing Su Yayan’s explanation, the two of them, who were used to relying on advanced equipment to detect illnesses, were both surprised and curious.
Before she could ask more, Mr. Su and Cheng Junhao had already come downstairs with Grandpa Cheng.
Seeing the three of them gathered together, he asked curiously, “What are you guys doing?”
“Yanyan is taking Xueru’s pulse.” Cheng Xiuqin asked Su Yayan, “You said that you could tell a person’s physical condition by feeling the pulse on your hand. What did you find out for your Aunt Qin just now?”
Su Yayan chuckled and wished she could stretch her lips until they went behind her ears. “I discovered a baby.”
“What baby? You’re already so old, and you’re still driving this kind of thing…” Cheng Xiuqin’s grumbling stopped, and the others looked shocked.
Qin Xueru subconsciously touched her stomach, her face filled with disbelief. “Yanyan, you mean…”
Su Yayan held her hand and said confidently, “It’s exactly as you think. Aunt Qin is pregnant. Uncle Cheng, you’re going to be a father.”
At this moment, Qin Xueru’s mind was already blank. The surprise came too suddenly, and it always made people afraid that this was just a fantasy born from her obsession.
She grabbed Su Yayan’s hand as if it was her last straw. She refused to let go. “Yanyan, is it true? Am I pregnant? Am I really pregnant?”
Cheng Xiuqin looked at Qin Xueru, who was so emotional that she was about to cry. She felt sad for her, but at the same time, she did not believe that Su Yayan could tell that there was a baby by just taking her pulse.
If the results were negative, her sister-in-law would be devastated!
“Yanyan, are you sure? Your aunt…”
“There’s no mistake. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital for a checkup now. You should be about three weeks pregnant. The hospital would be able to detect it with their equipment.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Cheng Junhao finally reacted and rushed to his wife’s side. He pushed Su Yayan away and hugged Qin Xueru’s hand. He was so excited that he did not know what to do. “Let’s go to the hospital. I’ll bring you to the hospital for a checkup.”
Su Yayan was speechless. Uncle Cheng did not want his niece anymore since he had a baby. Men were indeed pig trotters!
The two of them, who were happy to be parents, were overjoyed. Cheng Xiuqin and her husband were both excited yet nervous.
In the end, it was Grandpa Cheng who made the decision for them. “Whether it’s true or not, we still have to go to the hospital for a checkup. If it’s true, that is best. If not, we can treat it as a routine checkup. Let’s go, let’s go!”
