Chapter 435 Pregnant?! More Than One Child
Reading Settings
Xie Mingzhu and Huang Meiling were both startled, their smiles abruptly stopped, and they quickly ran to Shu Ying's side to support her, anxiously asking her questions.
"Yingying, what's wrong? You were perfectly fine just now, why are you suddenly feeling nauseous?"
Shu Ying, catching her breath, waved her hand.
"Oh dear, could it be that I didn't mix the filling well enough and made it too salty?"
Huang Meiling quickly wiped her hands and picked up a spring roll to try.
Xie Mingzhu also picked up another spring roll that Shu Ying had just taken and tried it.
The two blinked at each other, looking puzzled.
"Isn't it delicious? The saltiness is just right, and the taste is quite good. There's nothing wrong with it."
"Yingying, is it because the filling in the spring roll you ate wasn't mixed properly? There were too many people, so it was too salty for you?"
Shu Ying had calmed down a bit by then and shook her head.
"It's not a problem with the spring rolls..."
As she spoke, she patted her chest to catch her breath.
"Actually, this has happened before. Sometimes I don't know why, but I suddenly start to feel nauseous."
"I happened to eat something cold a couple of days ago, so I thought it was because my stomach was a little cold."
"But I've taken some medicine and rested for the past two days, so I shouldn't have these symptoms anymore... but the situation is still the same, this is the third time..."
Shu Ying originally planned to wait until Song Huang Meiling left, so that she would have some free time to take her pulse and see how she was doing.
But before that time even came, I started feeling nauseous again.
"I'm pretty sure it's not a stomach problem; these symptoms don't quite match those of a stomach ailment..."
As they spoke, Huang Meiling and Xie Mingzhu helped Shu Ying to sit down on the sofa, worried that she might be in a bad mood.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu Ying closed her eyes and took her own pulse.
Xie Mingzhu and Huang Meiling sat on either side, staring at Shu Ying with worry and tension, barely daring to breathe.
The living room was deathly silent.
Xie Zhiyan had just put on his coat and came downstairs. Hearing the noise, he thought no one was in the living room.
But when he looked up, he saw three people sitting on the sofa.
He instantly sensed that something was wrong and quickened his pace. He first stared intently at Shu Ying as she closed her eyes to take his pulse, his worry deepening as he asked in a low voice.
"Sister, Mom, what's going on?"
Huang Meiling shook her head and sighed.
“We don’t know what happened either. Everything was fine before. I made crispy pork and spring rolls for the two of them and gave them to eat.”
"At first, Yingying ate very well, nodding and saying it was delicious, but then she suddenly felt nauseous."
"Yingying said she's been like this for two days now. At first, she thought it was a problem with her stomach, but after looking at her symptoms, she felt that wasn't the case, so she took her pulse to see what the problem was..."
Xie Zhiyan's expression grew increasingly solemn as he listened.
However, after only a few seconds, he couldn't hold on any longer and stepped forward with concern.
"Yingying, how are you? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
Before Shu Ying could answer, he picked up the phone, worried that she might not be able to leave. He planned to have someone drive over and take Shu Ying to the General Hospital of the Military Region.
Just a second before the call connected, Shu Ying suddenly opened her eyes.
"etc."
"No need to go to the hospital, I already know what happened."
Xie Zhiyan turned around and noticed that Shu Ying's tone and expression were somewhat subtle. He paused for a moment and then put down the phone.
He tried to discern from Shu Ying's expression whether the outcome was good or bad, but after looking at her closely, he found it difficult to tell.
What's going on here...?
Huang Meiling and Xie Mingzhu also held their breath and stared intently at Shu Ying.
"Yingying, just tell us what happened. No matter what, we'll always be there for you."
"If all else fails, I'll call the base right away. If your dad and I can't both take leave, then I'll take leave and stay home with you."
Shu Ying blinked, seemingly in a daze. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before sighing and speaking.
"I... am pregnant again."
She looked up helplessly, a hint of resentment in her eyes, staring straight at Xie Zhiyan.
"And he has more than one child."
I wonder what kind of fate Xie Zhiyan has that made her pregnant with multiple children twice...
Shu Ying's expression was extremely complicated.
Xie Zhiyan was stunned for a moment.
Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan, who had just come out of the study, were the first to come to their senses, filled with surprise and joy.
Xie Wenyuan put down his enamel mug, overjoyed.
"Oh my, Yingying is pregnant again! Our family is going to have another addition, a few more children!"
Huang Meiling was also deeply moved.
“I originally thought that with Ah Yan’s job, which is so busy all day, it would be good enough to have one or two children. I never expected that I would have several more.”
The couple were naturally happy to have a grandson and granddaughter.
But her happiness didn't last long. Huang Meiling thought about it again and became worried.
“Yingying has already been pregnant once, and now she’s going to have another baby, multiples, which will take a toll on her body.”
Although they are the parents-in-law, they have long treated Shuying as their own daughter.
Huang Meiling herself has given birth to two children, so she knows the pain and damage of childbirth.
She held Shuying's hand with a touch of heartache.
Xie Wenyuan quickly thought of the issue of multiple births and sighed as well.
"Yangyang and Yueyue are still so young, they'll be starting elementary school soon, and there will be a few more younger siblings in the family... Will you two be able to manage?"
"Sigh, it's a joyous occasion to have more people in the family, but it's also tiring and worrying."
Especially when the child is just born and not yet one year old, it is already the busiest and most tiring time for parents. In their family, it is doubled, as they have to take care of several newborns, plus two toddlers who have just started kindergarten.
The energy, time, and the need to treat all the children equally, along with the sheer number of trivial matters to handle, are all immense.
After the child starts school, you also need to consider the school, daily meals, homework, and so on.
Even if the other children are as self-motivated as Yangyang and Yueyue, they don't need anyone to supervise their studies, and their lives aren't exactly easy.
Xie Wenyuan finally understood why Shu Ying had that expression just now.
This is really... a mixed blessing.
Xie Wenyuan sighed and rubbed his temples. Huang Meiling comforted Shu Ying for a while, then looked up at Xie Zhiyan and couldn't help but frown and scold him.
"Ayan, I'm not trying to be mean, but don't you think having two kids isn't enough? Yangyang and Yueyue are both so sensible and obedient, isn't having them just right? Why are you still bothering Yingying?!"
