Chapter 393: Chapter 222: Economically Suitable Man_3

Doctor Xu laughed and said, "Young madam should not believe those rumors. This old woman isn’t that formidable. If I could tell the sex of the child before it’s even seen the sky, wouldn’t I have become an Immortal?"

Qian Manxia had long heard that Doctor Xu would only speak up if it were a boy; if it were a girl, she would say nothing. Upon hearing her words, Qian Manxia couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Wan Dazhong chuckled from the side, "Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s our child, and I’ll like it just the same. If this one is a boy, then next time we’ll have a girl. If it’s a girl, then next time we’ll have a boy."

Doctor Xu glanced at Wan Dazhong and smiled at Qian Manxia, "The Lady of the Wan family is fortunate to have found such a considerate and good husband."

Qian Manxia was no longer disappointed, her eyes barely concealing her happiness as she smiled. "I have a distant relative who just happens to be visiting from the neighbouring county today. She’s also pregnant. Please, Auntie, help her with a consultation as well."

She then led Doctor Xu to the north room, with Qian Yixiu following behind.

Cheng Yue was already lying on the bed, with the gauze curtain drawn. Lady Wu sat by the bedside and hurriedly got up to offer her stool to Doctor Xu.

After examining Cheng Yue’s pulse, Doctor Xu said, "The child in the womb is only two months, it’s early days yet. Be careful not to bump or knock yourself. The adult is a bit frail; you need to eat more food to nourish the blood and qi, and exercise more..."

Lady Wu hurriedly asked, "Does she need to take some nourishing medicine? Like Ginseng or bird’s nest and such?"

Doctor Xu shook her head, "She’s pregnant, so food is better than medicine. Eat more meat, liver, and if you have the spare Silver, you can also eat some bird’s nest. Ginseng isn’t necessary; it can lead to excessive yang and insufficient yin..."

Knowing that Cheng Yue was in no serious danger, everyone’s minds were put at ease.

Wan Dazhong paid Doctor Xu’s fee of two hundred wen and rewarded her with an additional piece of Silver before sending her off in a horse carriage.

Lunch was at the Wan family’s. Wan Erniu and Qian Sangui drank in the main room while Qian Manxia led Lady Wu, Cheng Yue, and Qian Yixiu to dine in the western chamber.

This was the first time her sister-in-law and the second time her niece visited her home. Given that her parents rarely came, Qian Manxia was especially delighted. She had started preparations the day before, with dishes her parents and sister-in-law and niece favored on the table.

She kept serving Cheng Yue and Qian Yixiu with the serving chopsticks, urging them to "eat well."

Seeing her young aunt’s happy and rosy cheeks and the air of someone running a household, Qian Yixiu thought Wan Dazhong was a rare economical and practical man, truly good to her young aunt.

Looking at Qian Mandie, Lady Wang used to brag daily about her daughter marrying into the county town as a young madam, implying that her son-in-law was many times better than the Peasant Wan Dazhong.

In reality, marriages with a purpose are always fragile. Once the chain of benefits breaks, the couple’s feelings start to suffer. Even if Qian Mandie’s husband sincerely cherishes her, the pressure from parents and family will affect the young couple’s relationship.

Although Wan Dazhong switched from being a Hunter to a Peasant, he had a stable household, straightforward people, and his young aunt took the reins upon marrying in. These advantages couldn’t be matched by the complicated family background of the Yu family.

After the meal, the family set off in high spirits to return home in the ox cart.

Qian Sangui, upon hearing that the medic suggested bird’s nest for Cheng Yue, expressed, "The bird’s nest that my son bought for me hasn’t been touched yet; let’s give it to my daughter-in-law."

Cheng Yue shook her head and said, "It’s a filial gift from Brother Jiang to father-in-law, you should eat it, Yueyue can’t."

Qian Yixiu smiled and said, "Father, our family isn’t short of money now. Eat what father gave you. Tomorrow, let’s send someone to the county town to buy half a pound of bird’s nest for mother."

As the ox cart reached Huaxi Village, they ran into Duo Duo leading Sheng Wa and several children playing under a tree by the roadside.

Because business at Dessert House wasn’t going well and two workers had been let go, Lady Xu had to follow Qian Manchuan to the county town for work every day. Lady Xiao Wong couldn’t leave the house due to her small baby and with Lady Tang not at home, she had to stay and look after the children and household chores. Thus, taking care of Sheng Wa fell to Duo Duo.

Sheng Wa, with sharp eyes, saw that it was Su Siwu driving the ox cart, and knew it belonged to Uncle Third. He ran over, shouting, "Sheng Wa wants to ride the cart, Sheng Wa wants to ride the cart!"

Su Siwu, frightened, quickly pulled the ox cart to a stop, and Duo Duo also ran over, screaming and slapped Sheng Wa on the bottom. Scolding, "What are you running for? What if you got hit by the cart?"

After being hit, Sheng Wa started to cry loudly. Qian Yixiu had to get down from the cart and told the others to go ahead; she would walk back later.

Qian Yixiu brought Sheng Wa aside, took a few pieces of candy from her purse and gave them to him to calm him down. The other children also ran over, and she gave each of them a piece of candy.
