Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Mysterious Matter
“…You’re just looking like that, can you tell how many months it’s been?”
Liu Sisi looked thoroughly surprised.
Guihua also appeared somewhat unsure: “Even though I can’t, your Brother Zhang surely can.” While saying this, she promptly called for Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng was obviously splitting firewood in the backyard, his head speckled with wood chips. He looked up to see Liu Sisi and her mother, and immediately called out to them.
“Oh! Is my sister-in-law here?”
As he spoke, he casually washed his hands: “The ground is icy outside, be careful when you come and go. It’s best to walk slowly and steadily.”
“Alright, stop nagging!”
Guihua rolled her eyes at him, and quickly pointed at Liu Sisi’s stomach: “Zhang Peng, take a look at Sisi’s belly, isn’t it more than four months? She’s clearly showing now.”
“This is easy to determine, let me feel your pulse, it will tell me everything I need to know.”
Zhang Peng casually swept his glance across, picked up a towel and carefully dried his hands, only then did he sit down on a chair.
He covered her wrist with the towel and felt her pulse carefully.
A moment later, he let go: “Sister-in-law, this fetus has settled now. However, even so, you should rest more and move less. You must be cared for thoroughly. There was this case of Ms. Qiao….”
Zhang Peng cut himself off halfway through the sentence.
Guihua’s face changed abruptly, she rushed forward and twisted Zhang Peng’s arm hard. Zhang Peng cried out in pain.
She hastily changed the topic: “Sisi, don’t mind what your Brother Zhang said, he never thinks before he speaks, don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s okay, Sister Guihua, I know Brother Zhang is concerned for me.”
Unexpectedly, Liu Sisi laughed: “By the way, Brother Zhang, how many months pregnant am I now? What should I pay attention to recently?”
Zhang Peng was a bit embarrassed for speaking out of turn, but when Liu Sisi asked he quickly smiled: “Indeed, it’s been more than four months. You don’t need to worry too much, during the last check-up, your pulse was weak, but as I felt your pulse this time, this fetus is exceptionally robust, be at ease.”
In Liu Sisi’s mind, the feeling of the warm current entering her lower abdomen in her dream resurfaced. Could this be the reason why this fetus was so…
“Oh my! It’s really good that there’s nothing wrong now! This crow-mouthed Brother Zhang is always saying that your body is too weak, afraid that something might happen. My heart was always fluctuating with worry. Now that you’re over this hurdle, I can finally stop worrying.” Guihua patted her chest repeatedly.
Liu Sisi finally realized: “So you knew about this long ago, Sister Guihua? You… didn’t even tell me!”
Guihua chuckled a little awkwardly: “Sisi, it’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, it’s just that telling you earlier would have just made you more anxious and that wouldn’t be good for your baby. It’s better to let nature take its course. Don’t you see, you’re doing great now, aren’t you?”
With that said, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but feel elated!
The group continued chatting and laughing together.
It wasn’t until noon that Liu Sisi thought about leaving, however she couldn’t resist Guihua’s enthusiastic persuasions and decided to stay for lunch at Guihua’s place.
The dishes Guihua prepared were different from those cooked by Liu Sisi.
Upon learning that Liu Sisi hadn’t had corn for a long time, Guihua used cornmeal to make steamed buns, accompanied with spring rolls, which tasted really good.
Recently, Liu Sisi’s appetite had obviously grown. She ate three steamed buns, leaving her belly full.
Zhang Yun, seated next to her, was taking care of YingEr, looking like he couldn’t bear not to feed YingEr himself, which was a source of great amusement for everyone.
