Chapter 181: Chapter 177 Xuanbao’s Golden Words

The medical clinic wasn’t far from the grocery store, and Ruo Shui and Zhang Chengye quickly brought the doctor over.

Just after they had gone to get the doctor, Liu Wenyao took Madam Liu and Ruo Xuan into the back yard.

At this moment, the doctor was taking Liu Wenyao’s pulse in the back yard.

Doctor Fang was an experienced elder. A pulse indicating joy was something he encountered almost every day. After feeling the pulse briefly, he confirmed with a smile, "Congratulations to Boss Zhang. Mrs. Zhang is pregnant."

No sooner had the word "congratulations" been uttered than Zhang Chengye broke into a grin.

Liu Wenyao’s eyes also moistened with happiness.

Although they had known for a while, receiving confirmation made everyone in the yard extremely happy at this moment.

Ruo Xuan said with a smile, "Auntie, I didn’t lie, did I? You’re definitely going to have a new addition to the family and get rich this year!"

Liu Wenyao couldn’t stop nodding with joy.

Doctor Fang laughed, "Xuanbao has a golden touch with words."

Zhang Chengye, happy, pulled out a purse and gave it to Doctor Fang, "Thank you, Doctor Fang. My wife had some complications after giving birth before. She’s all right now, isn’t she?"

"She’s fine, Mrs. Zhang is in very good health. You have taken good care of her these past years. There are other patients waiting for me at the clinic, so I’ll be heading back now," Doctor Fang said with a smile as he accepted the purse and took his leave.

Ruo Shui offered proactively, "Doctor Fang, let me take you back to the clinic."

Zhang Chengye was quick to say, "I’ll go."

He also wanted to ask Doctor Fang if he needed to buy any tonics for his wife to help her recuperate.

So, Ruo Shui and Zhang Chengye drove the horse-drawn carriage together to take him back to the clinic.

After Doctor Fang had left, Madam Liu eagerly took Liu Wenyu’s hand and said, "Sister, congratulations, congratulations!"

Zhang Lei asked expectantly, "Mom, do you have a little brother now?"

Zhang Rui and Zhang Mei both looked expectantly at Liu Wenyao.

If their mother had a brother, she wouldn’t be scolded by their grandmother or ridiculed by their aunt for only bearing children that ’cost money.’

Their family’s grocery store wouldn’t end up belonging to their aunt’s two cousins, and they wouldn’t have to rely on their cousins in the future either—they would have their own younger brother.

Liu Wenyao touched her belly and smiled, "Whether it’s a younger brother or not, we still don’t know. But even if it’s a younger sister, you’ll have to love her just the same, understand?"

Of course, she hoped for a boy. After all, she already had three precious daughters. Who wouldn’t hope for both sons and daughters? Plus, if it was a boy, the Zhang Family wouldn’t blame her for the lack of an heir, and as a daughter-in-law, she would have fulfilled her duty of carrying on the family lineage.

But even if it was a girl, she would be welcome.

The moment Doctor Fang uttered his congratulations, all she could feel was anticipation for the child. No matter the gender, it was her own flesh and blood, and she was eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Ruo Xuan asserted confidently, "It’s a brother, not a sister. Twin brothers."

Zhang Lei and her sisters all preferred a little brother. Hearing this, they jumped for joy, "That’s great! I have a little brother! We have two little brothers!..."

"Xuanbao cousin has a mouth made of gold—what she says goes! We have a brother!"

Zhang Lei exclaimed, "Mommy, when my little brother is born, I want to be the first to hold him!"

Zhang Rui chimed in, "Me too, me too, I want to be the first to hold my little brother!"

Zhang Mei, feeling anxious, said, "Mommy, have one more, give birth to three little brothers so that I can hold one too."

Madam Liu and Liu Wenyao both were amused by Zhang Mei’s words.

Madam Liu: "Good, in two years your mother will surely give Mei another little brother, letting Mei be the first to hold him!"

In this dynasty, people believed that having many children and grandchildren was a blessing, and they did not practice contraception. As long as they could give birth, they would continue to do so, and there were even people giving birth in their forties.

There were many families where grandchildren and the youngest son were born in the same year.

It was normal for a woman to give birth to eight or ten children in her lifetime. However, due to the backward medical care and scarce resources, this was an era with high birth rates and low survival rates.

For a while, the courtyard buzzed with laughter and cheerful voices, all in anticipation of the new life to come.

The joyful laughter woke the people inside the house.

Jia Shijie was woken up by the noise, unable to make out what they were saying outside, only feeling that their laughter was very loud, he irritably nudged the person next to him: "I need to conserve energy to have the spirit to study. Tell your maternal side’s worthless lot to stop making noise!"

Zhang Xiaoli lay ferociously in bed cursing, "Laughing so early in the morning, it’s like summoning spirits! Don’t you know your uncle and cousins need to study? If you disturb your uncle’s studies and he fails to become Top Scholar, can you worthless lot afford that responsibility?"

Zhang Rui and her sisters turned pale with fright and hurriedly covered their mouths.

They had forgotten that their little aunt and uncle were still sleeping and shouldn’t be woken up.

This time, Old Lady Zhang came out angrily pushing the door open: "You three worthless goods making such a racket early in the morning, are you courting death! If you disturb your little uncle and two cousins from studying, watch your skins! I’ll thrash you to death!"

The son-in-law is going to take the Scholar examination!

Ruo Xuan was angry now, she was clearly taking her time to sleep in, "What reading? The sun’s already shining on our behinds and still sleeping; if one can become Top Scholar by sleeping in, how would the studious scholars feel about that?"

Her brothers would read books and practice handwriting until 11 PM - 1 AM every night, get up before dawn to practice martial arts, to study!

They themselves didn’t dare to say that they would become Top Scholars in the future!

And they weren’t afraid of noise either; they could quiet their hearts and read regardless of the clamor.

It was only those who couldn’t concentrate on their readings who would find many excuses, blaming others for their own inadequacies in studying.

Upon seeing Ruo Xuan, Old Lady Zhang immediately changed her expression, smiling: "Oh my, it’s Xuanbao and the young auntie here! I thought it was children from another family causing a racket, don’t take offense, haha."

Madam Liu laughed: "It’s really because we got too excited just now and accidentally raised our voices. Congratulations to my mother-in-law, my sister is expecting, and this year the Zhang Family will be blessed with new members and wealth!"

Old Lady Zhang froze for a moment, then her heart leapt with joy!

Addition to the family and prosperity?

Is Great Madam Liu pregnant?

Knowing that Old Lady Zhang believed what she said, Ruo Xuan also followed up: "Congratulations to grandmother-in-law on the family’s prosperity this year, and on the dream I had over New Year’s that my aunt is expecting two boy cousins."

"Oh my! Pregnant, and with twins? Hahaha..." Old Lady Zhang slapped her legs in excitement and then clasped her hands together: "Ancestors bless us! The Zhang Family has finally broken the three-generation pattern of only one male heir!"

Liu Wenyao, fearing disappointment from her mother-in-law if it wasn’t twins when the time came, hastily added: "Just now, Doctor Fang said she is pregnant, but we don’t know if it’s twins yet. It’s just over a month, and the pulse-taking isn’t conclusive."

"Oh my, if Xuanbao says it, there can’t be falsehoods!"

The Ruo Family’s heirloom Guanyin painting truly is miraculous! It’s only been hung for a little over a month, and the daughter-in-law is already expectant. It truly seems like the moment it was hung up, she got pregnant.

No wonder the Ruo Family has so many sons.

It isn’t the ancestors blessing them, but rather the Bodhisattva. No, she needed to go and give thanks to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy.

Old Lady Zhang said a few polite words to Madam Liu and then promptly went inside the house.

In another room, Jia Shijie was completely sleepless now.

Great Madam Liu is expectant? If Zhang Chengye has a son, the Zhang Family has an heir, wouldn’t their general store not fall to his own family to inherit?
