Chapter 903: Chapter 872: Grateful, Pregnant

This is Zhou Yuanchao’s favorite younger sister, Hasqiqige.

"Qiqige, Brother missed you too," Zhou Yuanchao said, "Dad and Mom are coming, can you and your sister-in-law take good care of Mom and Ah Bu?"

"Mm-hmm," Hasqiqige nodded repeatedly, "I will take good care of Eji and Ah Bu."

With family arriving, Wang Ying finally had someone to relieve her.

Meanwhile, Wang Ying asked Hasqiqige to stay in the hospital with Zhou Yuanchao while she took her parents home first.

As soon as she got home, He Tiantian had Xie Wu send over clean poultry, fish, meat, as well as a lot of preserved meat from Sanfeng Bridge, and many vegetables like cabbage, radishes, and potatoes, which were good for winter storage.

Yan Cui, curious, asked, "Wang Ying, did you order all this meat and produce yourself?"

"No," Wang Ying replied, "it was prepared by Yuan Chao’s colleagues and close friends. Since we arrived in Yanjing, we have been receiving a lot of help from Boss and others."

"My goodness, it’s a couple," Yan Cui said. She had never met Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian, but she had always heard of them because her son always mentioned how they had helped him whenever he returned home.

"They are really kind," Yan Cui said, "we will have to repay them someday."

"Yes," Wang Ying said, "Huo Yingjie and Yuan Chao have a life-saving bond. Once everything at home is settled, we should invite them for a meal."

"Sure, when the time comes, I’ll cook a whole roast lamb," Amur said with a naive smile, though he felt a bit regretful, as the apartment was too small for roasting.

Wang Ying laughed, "Ah Bu’s roast lamb is delicious, and I can hardly wait. Don’t worry about the small space here; our family has another house outside. We can roast it there."

"Good, good," Amur laughed, "by the way, you show us how to use these things, and Eji and I will cook for you."

Wang Ying chuckled and said, "Alright."

Wang Ying showed her mother-in-law how to use the household appliances and handed her the groceries and money to manage.

In the evening, when Wang Ying was delivering meals, she informed her father-in-law and mother-in-law where to buy groceries.

"By the way, where is Rison?" Amur followed out but hadn’t seen his grandson yet.

"Ah Bu, Rison is at Boss’s place, with his sister-in-law; they have elderly people there to help watch the child," Wang Ying said. "Tonight, when I deliver the meal, I’ll have someone send Qiqige back and also pick up Rison to bring him home."

"All right, be careful on your way," Amur said, "tomorrow morning, I’ll replace you and deliver the meals."

Wang Ying nodded, "Okay, thank you, Ah Bu."

Upon reaching the hospital, Wang Ying thanked He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, then asked Zhang Ning to bring Qiqige back and pick up her son to come home together.

"It’s time to go home, Grandpa and Grandma must be missing Bin," He Tiantian laughed, saying Zhou Yuanchao’s stepfather and mother were easy-going people. No wonder Wang Ying was so filial.

"Yes, Mother and Ah Bu miss him," Wang Ying said, "but in a couple of days, Ah Bu must return due to the urgent trip. We only left our cattle and sheep with a neighbor to look after; he can’t be away for too long. However, Ah Bu also said he would deal with his matters as soon as possible and return to Yanjing to reunite with us."

"But isn’t it a loss to deal with it now?" He Tiantian asked.

"Yes," Wang Ying said, "actually, I’ve discussed it with Yuan Chao, and there’s no rush for the moment. As long as my stepfather agrees to come over, we can take our time dealing with it tomorrow."

"Right, that’s all money." He Tiantian smiled, finding the old man quite amusing.

Wang Ying chuckled, "Tomorrow I’ll also persuade Ah Bu. By the way, sister-in-law, you’ve been taking care of us all this time. Ah Bu said he’ll roast a whole lamb to treat you guys in a couple of days."

"Isn’t that too much trouble?" Although He Tiantian was looking forward to it, she felt it inappropriate to show her eagerness for food as Zhou Yuanchao was seriously injured.

"No trouble at all, this is just a small token of our appreciation." Wang Ying said, "You’ve been helping me so much these days. Without you and Boss, I would have really broken down."

"It’s what I should do," He Tiantian said. "By the way, haven’t you eaten? You look a bit pale."

Wang Ying, a little embarrassed, said, "My period is a few days late, I suspect... "

Wang Ying, being a doctor herself, had forgotten her menstrual cycle because of Zhou Yuanchao’s situation.

Not until yesterday did she remember that her period was ten days late.

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian scolded, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? I mean, Yuanchao is okay now, but if something happens to you, we’d really be worried... Come on, let’s get you checked out right away."

"It’s too early, the tests might not show anything," Wang Ying said. "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself."

He Tiantian glared at her, insisting, "No, we’re going to see a traditional Chinese doctor. Whether you’re pregnant or not, I’m having someone take you home to rest properly."

He Tiantian firmly took Wang Ying to the department of traditional Chinese medicine.

Fortunately, there was an experienced doctor there who, after feeling her pulse, said, "It’s a slippery pulse, but the term is very early, and there are signs of a possible miscarriage. I’ll prescribe three doses of pregnancy-sustaining medicine for you to take over three days, then come back to the hospital."

Wang Ying was both happy and upset about the pregnancy. Just when her work had stabilized, she became pregnant, and her husband was still in the hospital needing care.

"Thank you, doctor." He Tiantian smiled, then supported Wang Ying as they left.

He Tiantian went to pay, then picked up the medicine, and they both headed back to the ward.

Zhou Yuanchao had just woken up and smiled faintly when he saw his wife and sister-in-law.

"Yuanchao, I have some great news," He Tiantian smiled. "Wang Ying is pregnant. Don’t worry about me here, I’ve asked Xie Wu to come watch over you. When Zhang Ning comes back, we’ll send your wife home."

Zhou Yuanchao was momentarily stunned, then joyously said, "My wife, you’ve worked hard. Regarding work, take a long leave."

Wang Ying nodded, "I still have ten days of leave left. Once it’s over, I’ll ask for an extended leave to rest well."

She didn’t dare mention the signs of a miscarriage, fearing that it would worry Zhou Yuanchao.

"Good, my parents are here too, they can take care of you, and I can be at peace," Zhou Yuanchao said. "I also have Boss and sister-in-law sending people over, so don’t worry about me."

When Zhang Ning came back, He Tiantian once again asked him to take Wang Ying home.

Back home, Amur, hearing that Wang Ying was pregnant and had come home to rest, worried about his stepson alone in the hospital, decided to follow Zhang Ning to the hospital as well.

Yan Cui was happy seeing her husband care so much for his son.

Seeing his stepfather, Zhou Yuanchao said, "Ah Bu, you must be tired from the drive, go home and rest."

Amur chuckled, "My son is alone in the hospital, I can’t sleep. Don’t worry, I’m in good health; I’ll keep you company. You mentioned you couldn’t sleep at night, I’ll stay and chat with you."
