Chapter 176 Zhan Yurong is Pregnant

"Uncle Wang, there are so many watermelons." Shen Zhen stared at the carriage full of watermelons, and couldn't help but exclaimed. This was the first time she had seen so many watermelons in her life! Moreover, these watermelons looked big and round, with green skin and a light layer of fuzz on them, which made people want to take a bite.

Shen Zhen suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her uncle Qin Dahai brought back a watermelon from Wangxian Tower. At that time, Liu said that they were money-losing goods, and did not give them a piece of watermelon, let alone Shen. At that time, Qin Erzhu was working in the fields, and he did not get a share. The second branch of the family was the only one who did not get a piece of watermelon rind. And Qin Lian and Qin Hu from the first branch deliberately ate it with relish in front of them, laughing at them for being beggars.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhen couldn't help but sigh. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and said to Wang Hu with a smile: "Uncle Wang, these watermelons look so tempting, they must be delicious, right?"

After hearing this, Wang Hu laughed proudly: "Haha, girl, these watermelons are grown by us with great care. Each one is well-grown, juicy and sweet. Put them in well water to chill before eating, and they will taste cool and refreshing, and can quench your heat and thirst. You can eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll send you another truckload in two days." After saying this, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Hu's face.

Wang Feng picked out the two largest and roundest watermelons, cut them open on the spot, and then handed the bright red and juicy flesh to everyone for tasting.

Shen Zhen took a piece of watermelon and took a bite. She immediately felt a sweet juice spreading in her mouth. She savored it carefully, feeling the sweetness and coolness of the watermelon, and her heart was filled with joy.

"Wow, it's so sweet! So this is what watermelon tastes like." Shen Zhen said happily. While eating the watermelon, she felt the rare coolness and comfort in the summer.

Meng Ting took a bite and said, "I ate a lot of watermelons when the Meng family was still around, but none of this good quality. This watermelon doesn't even have seeds in it, so it's really convenient to eat."

Zhan Yurong also ate two pieces in a row, which surprised Wang Feng.

"Yurong has not had a good appetite these days. I didn't expect that this watermelon is quite to her liking." Wang Feng said with a smile.

Li looked at Zhan Yurong distressedly and said, "Yurong, if you feel unwell, go see a doctor. No wonder you have lost so much weight recently. Your health is very important."

Zhan Yurong felt warm in her heart. Her mother-in-law treated her better than her own mother. She was sold by her own mother when she was young. "Mom, I'm fine. It's just that the weather is too hot and I feel a little bit miserable. You know, I feel like this every summer."

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Li felt relieved and handed her another piece of watermelon.

But when it was time for lunch, Zhan Yurong kept feeling nauseous. Li felt something was wrong and quickly took her to Jihetang.

When Doctor Zhao took the baby's pulse, he found out that she was already two months pregnant.

After hearing what Doctor Zhao said, Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed shock and doubt on their faces. They couldn't believe their ears, as if they were in a dream. After a long while, Li came back to her senses, and tears welled up in her eyes. She asked in a trembling voice: "Doctor, are you sure? My daughter-in-law has been married to our family for many years, but she has never been able to get pregnant. We have also consulted other doctors before, and they all said that my daughter-in-law's uterine cold is particularly severe, and she may not be able to become a mother in this life."

Doctor Zhao smiled and nodded, and replied gently: "Madam, don't worry, I can tell you for sure that your daughter-in-law is indeed pregnant. Although the previous doctor was right that your daughter-in-law has severe uterine cold, nothing in the world is absolute. There are precedents of women with severe uterine cold eventually becoming pregnant successfully. However, this pregnancy requires extra care. Your daughter-in-law must not engage in heavy physical labor and should rest more. Wait until the fetus is stable, about three months, before she can gradually resume normal activities. I will prescribe some pregnancy-preserving medicine for her to ensure the safety of the fetus."

After listening to Doctor Zhao's explanation, Li and Zhan Yurong were so happy that they burst into tears. They had been looking forward to this moment for too long. They thought they would never have children in this life, but now they finally got what they wanted. They were grateful to God for blessing them and letting them realize their dream.

Li carefully helped Zhan Yurong out of the clinic, and the two returned to the photo studio in ecstasy. When others learned of Zhan Yurong's pregnancy, they all came to congratulate them and were sincerely happy for them. The entire photo studio was filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

"Sister Yurong, starting tomorrow you have to stay here well and don't do any work. No, you have to go back to the village with Uncle Wang and the others, and be taken care of by Aunt Li. After you give birth, you can come out to work if you want." Shen Zhen instructed.

Wang Hu and Li also agreed. Although they were slaves, fortunately the two girls were kind-hearted and especially considerate of them.

Here, the potatoes that Shen Zhi dragged back were directly dragged to the workshop built in the village, and in two days they would start recruiting people to make potato flour.

Shen was so happy to see her little daughter back. The third uncle and his wife moved to their son's yard, and now Shen was staring at Ah Si's mother and son and Ah Si's grandmother all day long. Lan Tian and Lan Xue were not at home either. Lan Tian went to the town school for enlightenment, and Lan Xue lived in the town's photo studio and learned to read with Meng Ting. The guards Qingfeng and Qingyu left by eunuch Cao were also sent to Baiyun Villa by Shen. After all, there were only women in the family, and it was not good to keep Si Wei. Fortunately, it was close to the third uncle's house, so if there was anything, they could hear it with just a shout. In addition, there was little Snowball guarding the yard, so Shen Zhi was not worried about their safety.

"The day before yesterday, your village head grandfather brought villagers to our house, saying that they wanted to thank us for the potato seeds we provided. The villagers gave our family a lot of eggs, and the families who took potato seeds from us have all returned them. Some returned money, and some returned potatoes. Our warehouse is now piled with a lot of potatoes." Shen brought Shen Zhi a cup of mung bean soup, and then sat aside to chat with her.

"Most people in our village are very simple and honest. They repay what they borrow and it's not difficult to borrow again. Oh, little Dundun is here, come and give your sister a hug." Shen Zhi saw Ah Si coming over, and felt happy looking at the chubby little Dundun in her arms.

Shen Zhi hugged little Dundun and kissed him for a while. At this time, the head of the village and Zhou came to the house.

"Erya, I heard that you transported the potatoes to the workshop. Are you planning to start making potato flour?" The head of the village was very concerned about this matter, so when he heard that Shen Zhi had returned to Shitou Village, he immediately came over with his wife.
