Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: The Old Clam Produces a Pearl 2

Feng Qingxue handed her a Gangzi of water to rinse her mouth and repeated the words she had just said, "You really should have realized it, Sister Tian. Didn’t you notice that your period has been missing for two months?"

Tian Ling murmured, "I thought it was because of my age, after all, I am forty-one this year."

Before taking the Regulating Menstruation Pills, her periods came every one or two months. The initial surprise had turned into disappointment over time, and after so many occurrences, she had come to accept it as the norm over the years.

Grasping Feng Qingxue’s hand tightly, Tian Ling stared into her eyes, "Qingxue, tell me again, I’m afraid I heard it wrong."

"Sister Tian, you’re pregnant, more than two months, I am not mistaken, and you haven’t misheard. Congratulations, you and Zhuo Ran will be able to hold your baby this year." After saying this, Feng Qingxue felt something was off. After thinking for a moment, she realized that according to the Gregorian calendar it was January, but according to the Lunar Calendar, it was still the last month of the previous year. Quickly adding, "I’m talking about this year according to the Gregorian calendar. If we go by the Lunar Calendar, the baby is likely to be born around July or August next year."

Suddenly, Tian Ling covered her face with both hands and started sobbing.

The surprise had come so suddenly that she didn’t even know how to express her joy.

Feng Qingxue understood her feelings. After Tian Ling had cried enough, she offered a handkerchief, "There, there, Sister, this is something to be happy about, why are you crying? I know you’re crying tears of joy, but you need to take care of yourself."

Tian Ling immediately stopped crying and took the handkerchief, wiping her face in a messy rush.

"Thank you, thank you, Qingxue. Without your help, I would never have had this day." She gently touched her belly, "Whether it is a boy or a girl, for me and old Zhuo, it is the biggest surprise, our greatest treasure. I’m getting on in years, Qingxue; what should I be careful about?"

Feng Qingxue thought it over and said with a smile, "Although you’re no longer young, you have a strong physique; there isn’t anything in particular you need to worry about. Just focus on getting more nutrition and don’t overexert yourself."

As soon as she heard this, Tian Ling quickly said, "I’m only two months pregnant, I can still work. Don’t stop me from working."

Back in her hometown, she still worked in the fields when she was eight or nine months pregnant. Washing clothes and cooking were not challenging tasks at all and definitely not tiring.

Now that she was expecting a child, she needed money more than ever. She had to provide nutrition for herself and buy formula for the baby in case she wasn’t able to breastfeed. Preparing money for baby formula was essential.

Feng Qingxue was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood and said with a laugh, "Sister Tian, if you suddenly said you can’t work, I’d be in a bind. I don’t know where I would find someone as good as you to help with the household chores. Don’t worry, I have no intention of letting you go. We’re planning to go home around March or April. By then, your belly will be bigger, and it’ll be good for you to have a proper rest when we leave. What do you think? Of course, if you feel you can’t work and need to take care of the baby in your womb, we’ll find someone else."

"I can work, I can work!" Tian Ling eagerly said, "I will work for you for a few more months to save some money for the baby’s formula. And if I ever feel unwell, you can check on me. I can’t thank you and Zhuo Ran enough!"

Tian Ling didn’t want to stop working, and Feng Qingxue didn’t want to let her go, so everyone was happy.

However, Feng Qingxue divided some of her nutrition supplements, like red dates and longans, and gave them to Tian Ling, saying it was a reward for her diligent work and kind attitude. In reality, she was worried Tian Ling might become anemic and wanted to prepare early.
