Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 76_1

Huang Lei was pregnant, and when Huang Dapeng and his wife found out, they were so happy.

Huang Dapeng quickly took out a gold Buddha pendant and gave it to Huang Lei, "Keep it with you, it will protect you."

"Right, weren’t you planning to open a beauty salon?" The young couple would always discuss things with the elders.

The elders, although eager to become great-grandparents, couldn’t rush things all the time, and could only say that since they were married, a child should be coming soon.

As a result, the arrival of the baby was quite sudden, and Zhao Ya began to plan, "We need to start preparing things for the child."

Isn’t that just going directly to the mother and baby store to buy stuff? No, that’s not right, there isn’t such a store yet, this is another good money-making opportunity.

"The child’s clothes should be ones that others have worn before, so they won’t harm the skin." Zhao Ya thought about where to get some secondhand clothes.

Huang Dapeng and Zhao Ya started discussing the matter. The old man was now fully retired, only occasionally going back to give some advice, so you could say he had plenty of time.

"Right, isn’t your shop under renovation?" Zhao Ya remembered this matter.

"Not yet, the construction team is currently busy." The blueprints were ready, but the construction team they always worked with now had other projects.

"Then let’s wait until after the baby is born to worry about it." Zhao Ya was quite dictatorial about it.

Ah, wait until after the baby is born to worry about it? Huang Lei was not very willing.

"With a pregnant woman at home, it’s not good to be doing major renovations, it’s not good for the pregnant woman and the baby." Zhao Ya was very straightforward.

Ho Ming, who was originally going to speak up for Huang Lei, immediately sided with Zhao Ya, "Xiao Lei, I think Grandma is right, we’re not in a hurry to renovate the shop now."

"If you’re renovating the shop, it’ll distract you. What if something happens when you occasionally visit the construction site?"

"And if you open a beauty salon, you’d have to arrange for people to go down south for training."

"Also, preparing for the renovation is really quite busy." Ho Ming recalled all the things Huang Lei said needed to be prepared and felt that making a pregnant woman busy with all that would indeed tire her out.

"Right, there’s no harm in making money later." Zhao Ya also knew that Huang Lei was a workaholic.

But no matter, even Ho Ming was on her side, so there was no need to worry about Huang Lei not complying.

Alright, Huang Lei thought about it and she agreed; there was a lot to be busy with, not just the renovations, but also arranging the staff.

"Okay, about the shop, let’s not rush the renovation. I’ll think it over carefully about how it should be done."

Previously, the blueprints were designed in a hurry and actually did not quite satisfy her. Now that she knew there was time to slow down, she could continue to improve them.

Although she had given up, Huang Lei was actually a bit unhappy about it. Both were to become parents, but Ho Ming could continue as per usual while she had to slow down.

But soon she was glad she did slow down, as she discovered she had severe morning sickness.

As long as she smelled an uncomfortable odor, she would vomit, including the smell of gasoline, which also made her feel awful.

Huang Lei’s factory was located in the suburbs of Capital City, and she used to drive to work every day because it was convenient. But now, how could she still go to work?

With no other choice, she had to ask Huang Dapeng to watch over the factory, while she could only lie at home.

She could still go out, but smelling the gasoline would trigger her to vomit violently.

There were also some foods that she used to like, but now the mere smell of them would activate her intense vomiting reflex.

She had to try them one by one to see which foods she could eat without causing her to vomit.

After many attempts, she almost cried, as the foods she could eat were not at all what she liked.

Huang Lei was on the verge of tears, "What a baby with strange tastes."

"Such awful tasting things, and yet no reaction at all."

Huang Lei was very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do; any other food she ate, she threw up just as much.

Even if she disliked it, she could only close her eyes and stuff it into her mouth, because if she continued not to eat, her body wouldn’t be able to withstand it. She couldn’t possibly go to the hospital for IVs every day.

The last time she went for a prenatal checkup, the results were not very good; the doctor said there was a tendency toward malnutrition.

If it were just malnutrition in an adult, Huang Lei could accept it, but now there was a child involved, and that she truly couldn’t accept.

Huang Lei could only think about enduring it for a few more months, but the problem with her sense of taste never changed; she never adjusted to it.

It was also about no longer being so sensitive to smells, which let Huang Lei finally breathe a sigh of relief, and only after several months was she able to return to work.

Zhang Xia had been busy these past few months. The newly opened dress shop’s business had exploded, and the imported high-end skincare and cosmetics products they also started carrying were hot items.

Zhang Xia now understood that knowing different people and targeting different customers meant completely different ways of making money.

Only now did she realize that making money could be so easy, and of course, for such days, she had to thank Huang Lei.

She also wanted to see how Huang Lei was doing; her previous vomiting had really scared Zhang Xia.

Originally, she had been looking forward to one day getting married and having children, but after seeing Huang Lei like this, she began to contemplate whether she should even pursue marriage and motherhood.

What if she ended up having children and became like Huang Lei? That would be the end of her.

When Zhang Xia arrived at Huang Lei’s house, it happened to be when she was getting off work, and she was shocked to see such a frail person in front of her.

"Xiao Lei?" Oh my God, I knew her condition wasn’t too good, but I never imagined it would be this terrible.

"Zhang Xia." Huang Lei greeted Zhang Xia warmly, while the latter carefully supported her.

"You’ve really lost a lot of weight." Then looking at Huang Lei’s significantly larger belly, "Your belly is so big."

Huang Lei hummed weakly in response, "Yeah, it’s big, after all, there are two babies."

Huang Lei had previously thought her belly was growing too fast since she was only three months pregnant, and wondered why it was so large.

Back then, she thought maybe it was because she was too thin that her belly looked big.

It was only during today’s checkup that she found out it wasn’t because she was thin, but rather because there were two children in her womb.

What? Zhang Xia’s eyes widened again, "What did you say?"

"You have two babies in your belly?" In an era where people were only allowed to have one child, Huang Lei had surpassed the quota.

Huang Lei hummed, "That’s why I need to keep taking good care of my body." Originally, just having one child was already a lot for her to handle.

Now that there were two, the pressure on Huang Lei was even greater, needless to say.

"Can you still go to work?" Zhang Xia felt that even if Huang Lei wanted to continue working, Ho Ming and the others would not agree.

Huang Lei gave Zhang Xia a look, "Do you think I can still work?"

"From now on, I’ll be staying at home to take care of the pregnancy." If there had been one baby, she might have given it a try, but now with twins, Huang Lei didn’t dare to take the risk.

And so, Huang Lei began her pregnancy care. Zhao Aoran, who had gone to work in another place, sat alone in his study for a whole night when he heard the news.

Wang Nan felt twisted inside when she heard the news from a former colleague at the farm, but she dared not show her feelings on her face.

She hadn’t even married, yet Huang Lei had married a wealthy businessman and was now pregnant with twins; how could she bear it?

Fan Xiaofei also heard the news and sighed before continuing to do what he was supposed to do. Others were having children, which had nothing to do with him. His priority was still to work hard and make money.

Fan Xiaofei’s wife took the matter to heart and thought that they were not young anymore and perhaps they should have a child.
