Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 348 Pregnancy
"Uncle, please come out and take a look. My aunt seems to be feeling a little unwell."

Yu Li's tone sounded a little anxious. He Yuanchao didn't delay after hearing that. He said to Yan Bugui, "I'll go take a look," then got up and hurried out of the house.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui could no longer sit still. They stood up almost at the same time and followed He Yuanchao out to see what was going on.

When He Yuanchao came outside, he saw that Yu Li looked unhappy. He felt nervous and asked, "What happened to your second aunt?"

"I don't know. I was fine at first, but I suddenly started to feel nauseous and vomit."

The kitchen is adjacent to the main house. While they were talking, Yu Li and He Yuanchao came to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the room, He Yuanchao saw Zhang Min drinking water and rinsing her mouth. He looked at her face for a few seconds and asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing, just a little nauseous. I guess I caught a cold."

Zhang Min put down the cup of water in his hand, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly.

He Yushui, who was standing next to Zhang Min, heard this and said to He Yuanchao with some disapproval: "Uncle, this won't do. You should take my aunt to the hospital as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Uncle, Auntie's face looks a little scary, let's go to the hospital to check it out."

"No, I know my body. There's nothing serious wrong with me. I should be fine after a good night's sleep tonight."

Seeing that the three people around her had worried expressions on their faces, Zhang Min quickly spoke up.

It is early spring now, and the weather is suddenly cold and warm. It is understandable that you might catch a cold if you are not careful.

Besides, apart from looking a little pale, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Zhang Min, so she should be fine.

The kitchen was not very spacious to begin with, and with all kinds of kitchen utensils placed inside, He Yuanchao and his three companions felt a little crowded inside. Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui came to the door and took a look, but did not move in.

Yan Bugui was an outsider, and the one who was ill was a female comrade, so he didn't feel comfortable asking questions. He could only stand aside quietly and see if she needed any help.

It's different for Sha Zhu. Everyone inside is his family. Even though Zhang Min is his aunt, he can't care about that at this time.

He tiptoed anxiously, leaned forward to look inside and said, "Second Uncle, how is my Second Aunt? How about I borrow a cart and go to the hospital?"

It's not Sha Zhu's fault for making a fuss. It was because He Yuanchao was standing at the door, completely blocking the situation in the kitchen. He didn't see what was going on with Second Aunt Zhang Min, but the conversation between Second Uncle and Yu Li sounded quite serious.

He Yuanchao was considering whether to take Zhang Min to the hospital or observe for a while, when he heard Sha Zhu's words behind him, he quickly turned around and said:
"Don't worry, let your second aunt come in and sit down for a while. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can still borrow a car in time."

After saying that, He Yuanchao quickly turned to Zhang Min and said, "Okay, don't stand here anymore, go back to your room and have a rest. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away."

As he spoke, He Yuanchao walked out of the kitchen and made way for the door.

Zhang Min herself didn’t know what happened to her these past two days. She had been feeling very tired and sleepy and lacked energy all day long.

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, he nodded without saying anything else. He picked up the lid on the stove and bent down to cover the jar of meat oil when his stomach suddenly churned and the feeling of vomiting came even stronger than before.

Vomit, vomit, vomit…

Seeing Zhang Min suddenly squatting down and retching, He Yuanchao also became nervous. If she really had a serious illness, it would be bad. After all, the medical level of this era is not a little bit worse than that of later generations. Thinking so in his heart, but at the moment, the only place he could trust was the hospital. He Yuanchao quickly walked to Zhang Min and patted her on the back and said, "Are you okay? Let's go to the hospital."

Zhang Min heard the anxiety in He Yuanchao's tone, and heaved twice without spitting out anything. After a while, he quickly said, "It's okay, don't worry."

The situation of several people gathered in the kitchen of Sha Zhu's house was noticed by the sharp-eyed Yi Zhonghai's wife. Seeing that something seemed to have happened, she immediately opened the door of her house and walked over.

"Zhu Zi, what happened to your family?"

Because of secretly withholding the living expenses that He Daqing gave to his brother and sister, Sha Zhu is now very disgusted with Yi Zhonghai, but he has no ill feelings towards Aunt Yi.

After hearing what Aunt Yi said, although Sha Zhu was a little anxious, he still responded.

"I don't know what happened to my second aunt. She suddenly felt unwell."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to Aunt Yi and said, "Aunt Yi, do you know which family closest to us has a cart?"

Aunt Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses, "There is one in Zhang Sanlin's house in the yard next door, but I don't know if he has returned."

After hearing what Aunt Yi said, Sha Zhu didn't delay. He said, "I'll go and take a look," and immediately walked out of the yard.

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, saw Sha Zhu going to borrow a car, and thought that this was his chance to show off, so he quickly said:

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Zhu Zi, wait a minute. You stay here with your uncle. I'll go and borrow a cart for you."

After speaking loudly, Yan Bugui ran out of the central courtyard without waiting for Sha Zhu to reply.

He Yuanchao heard everything the people in the hospital said. Originally, he wanted to take Zhang Min to the hospital on a bicycle, but when he thought that a cart would definitely be more comfortable than a bicycle, he did not say anything to stop them.

Seeing that Yan Bugui had already run to borrow a car, He Yuanchao was not idle either. He quickly asked He Yushui to get two quilts. Otherwise, even if Zhang Min was fine, she would catch a cold if she was blown by the cold wind at night while sitting in the car.

Originally, only the people in the middle courtyard saw the chaotic situation in Sha Zhu's house, but after Yan Bugui's loud shout, almost all the residents in the courtyard were alarmed.

The Jia family, who lived across from Sha Zhu's house, was close to the water and had the advantage of being the first to see the moon. Led by Jia Zhang, all the family members, young and old, were standing not far from Sha Zhu's kitchen, looking over here.

After learning from Aunt Yi that it was because Zhang Min was not feeling well, she couldn't help but curl her lips and whispered to Jia Dongxu:

"I thought something had happened. Isn't it just that she feels a little uncomfortable? Why is she making such a big fuss? She is really a spoiled daughter of a rich family. She is just different from us ordinary people..."

"Mom, please stop talking, or someone might hear you."

When Jia Dongxu heard Jia Zhang start talking nonsense again, he interrupted her with a sullen face and said, "The reason why our family has been unpopular over the years is all because of your mouth."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang originally wanted to teach her son a lesson, but when she saw the displeasure on his face, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Although Jia Zhangshi usually acts unreasonable with outsiders, to be honest, she is still a little afraid of Jia Dongxu at home.

The men in the Jia family are all cruel and have the habit of beating their wives. Although Jia Dongxu is his son and he will not beat him, if he annoys him, he will have to send him back to his rural hometown if he is not dealt with properly.
