Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 349 Pregnancy Part
At that time, Jia Zhang followed Jia Dongxu's father to the city to be recruited as a worker. Her household registration was not moved in her hometown because the couple wanted to leave a way out.

But after they settled down in Kyoto and wanted to move their household registration, the policy had changed, so Jia Zhang still has a rural household registration until now.

The reason why Jia Zhang has been inferior to the father and son of the Jia family in recent years is not only because Jia Dongxu's father likes to beat her, but also mainly because she has a rural household registration.

Not only would there be no food supply from the city, but Jia Dongxu's household registration would also have to be moved to the countryside with her.

If Jia Dongxu had not taken over his father Lao Jia's job and worked in a factory, he would probably still be blaming Jia Zhang for the household registration issue.

Just when Mrs. Jia Zhang was worried that Jia Dongxu would send her back to the countryside because of the hard life, the third uncle Yan Bugui came back noisily pushing a human-powered tricycle.

"Make way, make way, the car is coming."

When He Yuanchao heard the noise, he hurriedly took Zhang Min out of the kitchen.

Wow! In just a short while, more than a dozen people, adults and children, were already standing outside.

Perhaps because of the illness, everyone just watched quietly. Except for Jia Zhang who muttered a few words at the beginning, no one else spoke.

When they saw He Yuanchao and his wife coming out of Sha Zhu's kitchen, everyone outside looked at Zhang Min's face, wanting to see what illness she had that caused such a big fuss.

Aunt Yi listened to Yi Zhonghai's words and had been looking for an opportunity to repair her relationship with He Yuanchao. Taking advantage of this opportunity today, she hurried forward and said with concern:
"Daliang, I heard from Zhuzi that your wife is not feeling well. What's wrong with her?"

He Yuanchao, like Sha Zhu, doesn't like Yi Zhonghai very much, but he doesn't have any opinion about Aunt Yi who has no opinion of her own.

Although he was a little worried about Zhang Min's illness at the moment, he still replied patiently.

"I'm not sure either. Don't you want to take him to the hospital?"

"Wasn't he fine when he came here just now? How come he's in trouble now? Sigh!"

Aunt Yi knew that she was just making small talk, but she didn't know what to say in the current situation. Seeing that He Yuanchao and He Yushui, uncle and nephew, were busy spreading quilts on the cart, she hurried forward to help.

After the He family members placed the weak and sore Zhang Min on the cart, He Yuanchao was about to push the cart away when Jia Zhang, who was watching the fun at the side, suddenly said something.

"Daliang! Your wife doesn't seem to have a real disease. It looks more like an external illness. Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? If you don't understand, don't get involved and go home."

As soon as Jia Zhang finished speaking, before He Yuanchao could react to the difference between a real illness and an external illness, Jia Dongxu started scolding him.

"I'm talking nonsense, you look silly... No, it's Second Aunt Zhuzi's face, it's so white, it's obvious that something dirty has attracted it."

Seeing that his mother was still excited, Jia Dongxu's face immediately turned cold, "I told you to go home, so you should go home. Why are you talking nonsense here? Are you the only one who understands among so many people?"

"I may not understand other things, but I can guess this kind of thing with just one look."

As she spoke, Jia Zhang also became stubborn. She moved closer to the cart and came to Zhang Min to look at her carefully.

While Jia Zhang and her son were talking, He Yuanchao had already realized what was going on because of the words "I have attracted some dirty tricks".

Although feudal superstitions are being vigorously cracked down on at present, there are still many ordinary people who believe in such things.

Having all received nine years of compulsory education, He Yuanchao did not believe in such things before. But after his own soul traveled through time, he had to develop awe for certain unknown existences.

As the saying goes, "Care too much and you will be confused." He Yuanchao, who was originally decisive in doing things, was now in a dilemma because the problem happened to Zhang Min. He didn't know whether he should believe what Jia Zhang said.

Just when He Yuanchao was hesitating, Zhang Min smelled Jia Zhang's hair that hadn't been washed for several days, and she suddenly felt nauseous again. She wanted to vomit, so she quickly leaned her upper body out of the cart. Ugh~~
Zhang Min’s sudden action scared Jia Zhang, but then she became more convinced of her guess.

"Look, what did I say? This situation must have caused something. Daliang, stop wasting time and go find a master!"

Just now, because Zhang Min had not left Sha Zhu's kitchen, the onlookers only heard that she was sick, but no one knew what was going on.

Seeing Zhang Min's situation at this moment, a middle-aged woman who looked a few years younger than Jia Zhang smiled and said:

"The Jia family's wife doesn't blame your son for saying you're talking nonsense. You're really talking nonsense with your eyes open. Second Aunt Zhuzi looks like she's pregnant, not like what you said."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she didn't care about Jia Zhang's reaction, and then teased Yu Li who was in a daze: "You from the Zhuzi family are the same. How come you forgot what you just experienced in the blink of an eye?"

After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Yu Li, who was still a little confused, replied subconsciously: "I wasn't like my second aunt when I was pregnant!"

Hahaha~~
Many of the onlookers were family members of the steel mill’s employees. At first, they didn’t dare to say anything because of He Yuanchao’s identity.

At this moment, Aunt Yi, Mrs. Jia Zhang, and the Liu family's wife all spoke one after another. Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, He Yuanchao did not seem unhappy, and they all became lively.

"You are so careless, you from the Zhuzi family! The symptoms of pregnancy for us women are exactly the same."

"Not really. I vomited all over when I was pregnant with my first child, but I didn't have any reaction at all when I was pregnant with my second child."

"I think what Aunt Liu said is right. I think your Second Aunt is really pregnant."

……

Listening to the chattering and laughter of several women in the yard, He Yuanchao no longer cared about the dirty things he had attracted, and quickly approached Zhang Min and whispered:

"How long has it been since you had your period?"

Although he was a bachelor in his previous life, he still knew basic physiological knowledge.

Although it was her husband who asked this private question, Zhang Min was still a little uncomfortable in front of others because they had not been married for long. After thinking for a while, she lowered her head and said, "It seems to be about one and a half months."

Although Zhang Min spoke very softly, Yu Li who was standing beside her still heard it.

Without waiting for He Yuanchao to speak, she said with a happy face: "Aunt, according to what you said, it should be OK. You didn't catch a cold, but you seem to have it."

This was the first time in He Yuanchao's two lives that he was about to have his own child. He didn't care about the people around him who were talking about him at the moment. After instructing Zhang Min to prepare the baby on the cart, he immediately pushed the cart out of the courtyard.

Now his wife is his treasure, and he doesn't feel comfortable with anyone else riding the bike except himself.

When Sha Zhu and He Yushui saw their second uncle pushing the cart out of the central yard, they quickly pushed a bicycle each and followed him out.

If Yu Li hadn't been unable to move around easily due to pregnancy, she would have gone with them no matter what.

After He Yuanchao and his companions left, the crowd surrounding Sha Zhu's door did not disperse immediately.

There was finally something new happening in the courtyard, and everyone gathered together again. They took the opportunity to chat about Zhang Min's pregnancy and all sorts of gossip.

As we talked, the topic somehow turned to feudal superstition.
