Chapter 256: Chapter 256 No Possibility

If it were a grandchild from the younger generation, anyone would do, and she would be delighted to the point of madness, but why does it have to be Gu Youyou, the Child Prodigy, with whom she is fundamentally incompatible, like water and fire?

While the Huang Family matriarch’s thoughts drifted to the high heavens, Gu Youyou had already finished writing.

She blew on the ink, which was not yet dry, and then said to the Huang Family matriarch, "Grandma, please take this back to Qianqian and ask her to come see me!"

Qianqian’s ailment was vomiting. Youyou suspected it might be due to eating watermelon, but there are many reasons for vomiting. Since it wasn’t necessarily pregnancy, it certainly wasn’t necessarily because of eating watermelon either.

As a doctor with medical ethics, Gu Youyou would not prescribe medicine without seeing the patient first. The paper only contained a preliminary understanding of the symptoms and the reason for asking her to come for a visit.

Gu Youyou knew that Lei Qianqian’s father was a Scholar. Since Qianqian could read, that’s why she had written it down on paper.

However, the Huang Family matriarch was not pleased with Gu Youyou’s arrangement and complained, "What do you mean by ’come here’? Don’t you know it’s the busy farming season? The whole family is so busy their feet barely touch the ground. Who has the time to come here for a consultation? Hurry up and arrange for a doctor to go back with me. Qin Changlin seems good; let’s have him!"

Gu Youyou sneered. Are you eyeing Qin Changlin because he may waive the consultation fee?

The matriarch was indeed thinking that way. The reason she didn’t ask Gu Youyou to go back directly was twofold. Firstly, every time Gu Youyou visited the Gu Family, she would return enraged, and the matriarch disliked having her there. Moreover, this impish girl Gu Youyou would most certainly demand a consultation fee.

Qin Changlin was different. Setting aside whether he was easy to talk to, just out of regard for Gu Youyou’s face, he would feel embarrassed to ask for a fee. Perhaps she could even swindle some tonics from him to bolster her great-grandson’s health.

With this thought, she began to smile from ear to ear.

Gu Youyou put down her pen and sat upright, watching the Huang Family matriarch smirk as she schemed.

Only when the matriarch’s daydreams had gone far enough did Youyou begin to slowly explain to this outstanding grandmother, "You said Qianqian’s symptoms started ten or eight days ago? Well, let’s assume eight days. By my rough calculation, that means she began experiencing morning sickness twenty-three days after marrying Dabao. Grandma, I can state unequivocally that it normally takes around forty days after conception for the early pregnancy symptoms to appear, such as morning sickness, sleepiness, and lethargy. They have only been married for twenty-three days, so it’s not possible."

The Huang Family matriarch didn’t react at first; she was stunned for a moment before saying, "What... what do you mean by that?"

Youyou replied, "My meaning is very clear. Qianqian is not pregnant. She might have eaten too much watermelon, causing some stomach issues. And since it’s been dragged out this long, you should bring her for a consultation as soon as possible."

After another moment of shock, the matriarch shook her head vehemently and said, "No, no. I have given birth to eight children, and I can tell with certainty. Qianqian is absolutely pregnant. What are you blabbering about when you’ve never given birth to a child yourself?"

Doubting her? That is a great taboo for a doctor.

Most doctors are men, and they certainly haven’t given birth to children either.

And Youyou never believed in the so-called theory that having more childbirth experience makes one more knowledgeable, spun by obstinate old ladies spoiling for a fight. She was determined that it was impossible to be pregnant in such a short time.

Moreover, there had been a number of cases of vomiting and diarrhea during that period, which also biased her thinking.

Youyou was getting angry, her patience was wearing thin, and her words were no longer as pleasant.

She raised her volume and said loudly to the matriarch, "Grandma, if you don’t trust me, then find another doctor for a consultation. In any case, none of the doctors from Jisheng Hall will make house calls."
