Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Reminiscing the Past

Little Yuanbao sniffed but stopped asking any questions, obediently standing still as Nanzhi wiped her face for her.

By the time the big and small figures returned to the Hall, Father Lin and his two sons had already left.

The shop that Mrs. Lin had purchased was only a street away from Sanwei Residence, and they had to go there first to sort things out.

"Pangya, quickly take Yuanbao for breakfast."

Just as Mrs. Lin finished eating and was about to go to the shop, she said this while cleaning the dishes.

"Mother, don’t worry about me, you and sister-in-law can go and take care of your business."

Nanzhi replied and then sat down with Yuanbao.

Shen Zhiyu, seeing his mother and Sister Yuanbao return, hastily got off his chair, held his small bowl, and ran over to them around the table.

"Mother, I’ve peeled an egg for you and Sister Yuanbao."

The little fellow put his bowl on the table before scampering back to his own spot.

The Academy was closed for the holidays, so the kids were going to be at home for the next two months.

Just yesterday, Mother Lin had asked them if they wanted to help out at the new shop.

After breakfast, he plans to head to the shop to help along with his brothers.

"Thank you, Zhiyu." Nanzhi felt warmth in her heart. She thanked Zhiyu with a smile and then gave a piece of the egg to Yuanbao.

"Yuanbao, Brother Zhiyu peeled this egg for you. Be good and eat up, Mother will take you out later."

"Okay."

The little girl nodded and began to eat her food earnestly.

Xiaomi watched this scene with an indescribable shock.

He didn’t understand why Zhiyu was so generous.

He didn’t have parents. If someone tried to take his mother from him, he’d probably get angry.

After breakfast at home, Nanzhi prepared to leave with Yuanbao.

Seeing Sun Cui rubbing her waist in the yard, Nanzhi asked her with concern.

"Sister-in-law, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

These few days, she’d noticed her sister-in-law looking listless. She didn’t seem to have heatstroke, did she?

"I’m just not feeling well." Sun Cui sighed, rubbing her bloated waist and abdomen.

Strange indeed. She hadn’t suffered from a cold or heatstroke, so why would she feel uncomfortable all day long?

"Sister-in-law, why don’t you come with me to the medical hall for a checkup?" Seeing how uncomfortable she looked, Nanzhi decided to bring her along.

Now that they had some money, it would be better to check out any discomfort sooner rather than later. If sick, they could be treated, and if not, they could prevent future problems. What they really feared was delaying until a small issue could become severe.

"Why are you going to the medical hall?"

Sun Cui was surprised. After sizing her up and down, she didn’t notice anything wrong. Then she remembered that Yuanbao was about to buy some ginseng, so she nodded in agreement.

"Wait for me a moment, I will change my clothes."

"Okay."

The three of them headed directly to Jihe Hall. Just as they entered the medical hall, they saw a man and a woman intimately embraced in the middle of the hall.

Nanzhi instinctively covered Yuanbao’s eyes, while she and Sun Cui averted their eyes embarrassedly.

"Mother, what happened?"

Little Yuanbao’s childish voice, full of curiosity, made Nanzhi feel even more awkward. She wished she could pick up the child and immediately leave this awkward place.

Had they perhaps disturbed a small couple’s intimate moment?

However, being able to be intimate in a medical hall suggested that their courage was quite large.

Hearing the commotion behind them, the couple, who were hugging each other, finally reacted. They quickly let go of each other like they were electrically shocked.

"Nan, Sister Nanzhi?"

Wang Jingzhi’s face turned red. When he saw that the visitor was Nanzhi, he wished he could find a hole to drill into.

"Jingzhi?" Nanzhi admittedly was a bit curious. When she saw that the blushing girl was Miss Zeng, she couldn’t help but be quite surprised.

"Sister Lin, I just, I just saw a rat and I was scared..."

Ms. Zeng’s little face was flushing red, and she felt some relief in her heart.

Luckily, it was Sister Lin who saw her. If it had been anyone else, who knows what rumors would spread.

As if to confirm Ms. Zeng’s words, there indeed came a squeaking sound from under the counter.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zeng’s face turned from red to white in an instant, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

The rat didn’t fear people. After squeezing out from under the counter, it gave them a glance, swished its tail, and sauntered away.

Only when the rat was gone did Ms. Zeng sigh lightly. She still felt too embarrassed to stay in the hall, so after bowing to Nanzhi and the others, she hurriedly went to the back courtyard.

"Sister Nanzhi, are you feeling unwell? Are you here at the medical hall for a check-up?" Wang Jingzhi blushed slightly, but quickly spoke up.

He had been discussing a prescription with Ms. Zeng when that rat suddenly fell from the beam, resulting in the earlier scene.

A beautiful woman, and one with shared interests. It would be a lie to say he was not moved.

"My sister-in-law isn’t feeling well."

Sun Cui nodded and said, "These past days, she has been feeling suffocated and her abdomen occasionally swells up. She also has lost her appetite."

"Sister-in-law, please sit here. Let me check your pulse first," said Wang Jingzhi, standing up from beside the counter.

"Thank you."

"It’s no trouble at all."

Wang Jingzhi shook his head and signaled for her to place her hand on the pillow.

Sun Cui quickly did as instructed, but she felt very nervous inside.

She had always been healthy and had never experienced this before. She was worried there might be something seriously wrong.

Upon feeling her pulse, Wang Jingzhi had a realization. Only after pulling his hand back did he reassure her, "Congratulations, Sister-in-law. This is a pregnancy pulse. You should be about six weeks into your pregnancy. Please pay more attention to your diet these days.

Be extra careful in the first three months to avoid any kind of stimulation."

At Wang Jingzhi’s words, Nanzhi and Sun Cui glanced at each other and saw joy in each other’s eyes.

"Jing, Jingzhi, are you saying, I’m pregnant again?"

Sun Cui could hardly believe it. Their Maomao was already seven and a half years old. For all these years, she didn’t get pregnant again and she was worried that she couldn’t bear another child.

"Congratulations, Sister-in-law," said Wang Jingzhi, smiling.

The Lin family were his benefactors.

"Oh, good, good."

Wang Jingzhi prepared a prescription for her to ensure her pregnancy went smoothly. Only then did Nanzhi finally speak.

"Jingzhi, does your medical hall have hundred-year-old ginseng?"

Wang Jingzhi was surprised.

"Sister Nanzhi, why do you need old ginseng?"

The family of the Lin’s sister-in-law was very healthy, they don’t need to eat such things.

If they use it excessively, it could have adverse effects.

"For treatment." Upon saying that Nanzhi realized it was misleading, she clarified, "Not for me, but for Yueyue."

Hearing the name Yueyue, Wang Jingzhi trembled slightly, thinking of the sickly pale little girl.

"Is it the Yueyue from our village?"

Wang Jingzhi’s lips trembled as he finally got the question out.

"Yes, that’s her. Her tuberculosis has worsened. They say she needs old ginseng to keep alive."

Nanzhi sighed. The last time she saw Yueyue was in the village.

At that time, Yueyue was at home coughing up blood. Xiaoqi ran to kneel before her, pleading for her to ask the old master Wang to treat Yueyue’s illness.

She thought that they would stay in Qing Fenghan to treat Yueyue’s illness, but two years later, she still has not recovered.
