Chapter 142 There's no throne to inherit in the family.
Ye Tang was so busy with Gu Rou's affairs that she hadn't had time to go to the hospital for a check-up.
My morning sickness is getting worse. I feel nauseous in the morning, and the smell of oil makes me feel nauseous. I feel lethargic and have no energy.
No need to check, pregnancy is already a certainty.
To her surprise, Gu Rou also covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom.
Hearing similar retching sounds coming from inside, Ye Tang's heart skipped a beat...
No way?
Gu Rou is pregnant too?
Seeing Gu Rou walk out with a pale face, Ye Tang quickly supported her. "Sister, why did you throw up too? Could it be... could it be that you're pregnant too?"
Gu Rou held onto the edge of the sink, her fingertips slightly cold.
She herself couldn't say whether it was psychological or if her body had actually changed.
However, my period hasn't started yet.
It's likely that most of them are experiencing false pregnancies.
"It might be something I ate that made my stomach feel a little uncomfortable."
Ye Tang: ...
This kind of nausea isn't caused by vomiting like that.
"Sis, even if you're not pregnant, this kind of vomiting isn't good. Let's go to the hospital to get checked out. If there's nothing seriously wrong, we can relax." Ye Tang added, afraid that Gu Rou would refuse, "I also want to go to the hospital to get checked out. I'm not pregnant."
Gu Rou looked up at Ye Tang with a somewhat vacant gaze, and finally nodded in agreement, "Alright then, let's go to the hospital together."
Ye Tang nodded immediately.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was particularly pungent.
I registered, had a urine test, blood drawn, and finally even had an ultrasound.
The results came out very quickly.
Gu Rou stared at the clear words on the form, her fingertips lightly brushing over "early intrauterine pregnancy," and felt a momentary daze.
It's not a stomach problem, I'm really pregnant.
Ye Tang stood to the side, her feelings complicated.
She didn't know whether to say "congratulations" or ask Gu Rou about her plans first.
"Sister," she said softly, "what do you think?"
Gu Rou carefully folded the examination report and placed it inside her bag.
"Actually... I did consider having a child." Her voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself, "But now that I'm actually pregnant, I feel a little... at a loss."
"Is it my cousin's? Are you worried that my cousin won't take responsibility?"
"It's not that I'm afraid he won't take responsibility." Gu Rou shook her head. "Whether he takes responsibility or not is... not that important to me. I can raise my child on my own without a man."
She paused, as if organizing her thoughts, "I just... I've always wanted to be a mother, to make my life complete, but now that it's here, I feel like I'm not prepared at all. I'm afraid I'm not good enough, afraid I can't give him the best."
Ye Tang listened quietly.
Wasn't it the same when she unexpectedly became pregnant?
Every day feels like being trapped in a fog, not knowing which way to go.
"Sister," she held Gu Rou's slightly cool hand, "you need some time, take it slow. This can't be rushed, you have to think it through yourself."
Gu Rou nodded: "Okay. Ye Tang, don't tell anyone about this yet. I'll tell you myself once I've thought it through."
"it is good."
The two parted ways at the hospital entrance.
Ye Tang held her medical report in her hand, stood there for a while, and then walked to her car.
I got into the car.
She checked her test results repeatedly.
The results on the list were as she had expected.
She didn't expect her second child to come so quickly. The thought of going through another ten months of hardship and the perilous process of childbirth made her feel somewhat resistant, for some reason.
Should we remove it?
of course not.
Her faith forbade her to do that.
Since we're here, it must be fate.
No matter how tough or tiring it is, we can only face it head-on.
She wanted to tell Gu Lin the news first, and then tell her mother-in-law, Xu Mingzhu.
"Hey, Gu Lin, are you busy?" Ye Tang called Gu Lin.
He sounded tired, as if he had just finished a meeting. "Just finished a meeting, is there something you need?"
"There is something I need to tell you, but you seem a bit down. I'm not sure if I should tell you about it."
Gu Lin chuckled softly, "It would be a miracle if you could be in a good mood during a three-hour meeting. Go ahead and speak, it's fine."
Ye Tang lowered her eyes and focused her gaze on the examination report.
The results of the examination at three months of pregnancy were clearly written on it.
"Gu Lin, I think... I'm pregnant."
"Huh?" Gu Lin was so shocked he almost flew his phone away. "Pregnant? Really? Am I that good? Didn't you say you were going to wait a few years before having a second child? How come..."
Ye Tang closed her eyes.
It's all because he's always in such a hurry, saying that he can't feel anything when wearing a condom, so he just messes around during his safe period.
However, her periods became irregular.
It would be strange if he wasn't talented.
"Anyway, the pregnancy is a fact. If you don't want it, I can get an abortion."
"No, no, pregnancy is a good thing, why would you get rid of it?" Gu Lin noticed that Ye Tang was a little upset, so he quickly cheered her up and coaxed her, "I was just rambling. I'll work harder to earn money for baby formula. You go back to your mother's house first, I'll be right back."
"oh."
Ye Tang was thinking of telling her mother-in-law.
On the way there, she specially bought her mother-in-law a set of skincare products that she often used.
Xu Mingzhu is a good mother-in-law.
Last time, she bought her a lot of gold bars and told her to keep them and not tell Gu Lin.
She was quite touched.
Unlike her own mother, who only wanted to exploit her and showed very little maternal love.
"mom."
Ye Tang carried the gifts she had bought and strode into the living room.
She looked pleased and walked quickly.
"Mom, this is for you." Ye Tang obediently handed over the gift.
Xu Mingzhu didn't stand on ceremony and took it, saying, "It's kind of you to remember that I use this skincare product."
"Of course, I know Mom's preferences like the back of my hand now." Ye Tang clenched her fist exaggeratedly.
Xu Mingzhu smiled.
"What brings you here? Something up?" Xu Mingzhu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "Is it about you, or your sister? Tell me."
"Mom, I'm pregnant. I came here specifically to tell you. You have such sharp eyes, you can spot it with your keen observation. I'm three months along."
Xu Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.
She put down her teacup and took the test report Ye Tang handed her: "My more than fifty years of experience are not for nothing. I told you you were pregnant. If you are pregnant, rest well and don't overwork yourself. If there is anything you want to eat or want, just send it to me and Mom will buy it for you."
Ye Tang happily agreed.
But she really didn't need anything. "Mom, I don't need anything. But you and Dad, you must take good care of yourselves. If you are healthy, it will be a blessing for us."
Xu Mingzhu admitted that she had been coaxed by Ye Tang again.
"You have such a sweet tongue, child."
"Mom," Ye Tang said coquettishly, clinging to Xu Mingzhu's arm, "Based on your experience, is this baby a boy or a girl? I feel like it's similar to when I was pregnant with my first child. Could it be another girl?"
"Boys and girls are decided by God, I can't tell." Xu Mingzhu gently patted Ye Tang's hand to avoid putting pressure on her. "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are the fruit of your love with Gu Lin. Mom will love them both. I don't favor boys over girls, and there's no throne to inherit in the family."
Ye Tang's eyes reddened with emotion.
Her mother-in-law is truly wonderful.
"Mom, because of what you said, I'll do anything to give you a grandson," Ye Tang said confidently.
Xu Mingzhu told her to stop immediately, "I don't have an obsession with having a grandson. We Gu family don't necessarily have to have a boy to take over. Your child, or your sister's child, whichever is capable, can take over. It's fair competition."
Ye Tang wholeheartedly agreed with her mother-in-law's words.
She increasingly felt that her mother-in-law was incredibly open-minded. "Mom, I find myself loving you more and more..."
