Chapter 41 It doesn't have to be so realistic
"How do you know I'm thinking about the baby?"

"After you sat down, your eyes kept looking at the woman holding a child outside the window, and the word "子" was written on it. I guess you are worried because you have been married for several years but have no children."

"No, I didn't." Gu Hua picked up the cup and wanted to take a few sips to cover up.

"You're pregnant, don't drink this, it has too many additives."

Gu Hua put the cup down immediately.

"I can't be pregnant. I went to see a doctor last month-"

Gu Hua realized that he had said too much and immediately shut up.

But there was a hint of anticipation in my heart, and my hand unconsciously rested on my stomach.

"There's a pharmacy next door. Buy a test strip. I'll wait for you." Yu Ning picked up the lemonade and drank it confidently. "Once the pregnancy test is confirmed, we can continue our conversation."

Ten minutes later, Gu Hua came out of the bathroom with a happy face and looked at Yu Ning, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Can we chat now, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Hua nodded, sat opposite Yu Ning, and told her story.

Gu Hua has been married to her husband for ten years and has no children. She has taken a lot of Chinese medicine and seen a lot of Western doctors, but to no avail.

Her husband was very considerate and never mentioned this matter, saying that being a DINK was fine. But the pressure from her mother-in-law was getting bigger and bigger, and Gu Hua was always tense.

Half a month ago, Gu Hua saw her husband entering a hotel with a woman. She felt hopeless and thought that such a marriage was boring and that it would be better to get a divorce.

But today, Yu Ning easily figured out that she was pregnant, and Gu Hua was filled with confusion.

"How on earth did you calculate that?"

"When you came over, I saw it from your face. The Qi in your children's palace is reddish and yellowish, which shows that you are pregnant."

But Yu Ning wasn’t sure whether she wanted the child, so she didn’t say anything.

"Just now when you wrote the word 'zi', the waitress came to bring water. The word 'zi' and 'woman' make a good word together. I concluded that you wanted this child, so I told you."

"I--" Gu Hua thought of the woman who went to the hotel with her husband.

Why would the child I have been waiting for for ten years come just when my marriage is going bad?
"I can help you calculate your husband's affair, but I'll charge you for adding the hexagram. Your wealth palace only has money coming in and not money going out, and you're a teacher—"

"how?"

"Most teachers are very stingy. I guess you are reluctant to spend money on fortune-telling."

“.” There’s no need to be so realistic!

"I have a free way to verify your husband's sincerity. Do you want to try it?"

"The human heart cannot stand the test, and I am not a stingy person. How much do you want for a fortune telling?"

Teacher Gu tried hard to save her reputation, but she was very dissatisfied with Yu Ning's words "most teachers are very stingy".

"A fortune teller of my level should be worth 5 yuan per divination."

".Suddenly I feel that there is nothing wrong in testing people's hearts." Teacher Gu gave in.

Okay, she admitted that she really couldn't bear to do it.

For a working class person, how long would it take to save up 50,000 yuan?
"It's not shameful to save some money for the child's milk powder." Yu Ning drank the lemonade in one gulp.

"You make so much money from fortune-telling, why are you willing to help us for free?" asked Teacher Gu.

"Both of you have professions that can accumulate merit, so helping you will also be a merit for me."

Making money and earning merit are the same to Ning.

If you meet a conscientious person, you can earn some merit by selling at a lower price. If you meet an immoral person, you can earn a little money.

At the entrance of the police station, Xia An paced back and forth. Seeing Yu Ning coming out, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Where is my wife?"

"She said she was extremely disappointed in you and didn't want to see you."

"I don't believe it!" Xia An walked towards the milk tea shop. He wanted to ask his wife in person.

"Officer Xia." Yu Ning called him.

"Your wife is pregnant. She doesn't want to see you now. You'd better not provoke her."

"Really?!" Xia An was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.

After ten years of marriage, his wife finally got pregnant. How could he not be surprised by this news? "She asked me to tell you that she wants to divorce you."

"I won't leave!"

"She said she would jump into the river if you didn't divorce her."

Xia An's pupils trembled and he almost lost his balance.

What did he do to make his wife so determined not to live with him?

"Do you really want to solve that case?" Yu Ning changed the subject.

Xia An was so focused on his wife's request for a divorce that he almost didn't react, but he nodded anyway.

He wants to solve the case, but he doesn't want to get a divorce.

"Are you willing to exchange the life of the baby in her belly for a chance to solve the case?" Yu Ning continued to ask.

"What?!" Xia An's pupils suddenly dilated.

"That murderer has two lives on his hands, and now he has just lost one. If you sacrifice the child in Teacher Gu's belly to that murderer, you will not be violating the rules."

"I don't want it!" Xia An refused decisively.

"She's already going to divorce you, and the child will have to be aborted anyway. You love your job so much—"

"I love my work but I also love my wife! I will never agree to you sacrificing my child!" Xia An's veins were exposed.

"I heard from your wife that you often ignore her feelings in order to solve the case. She thinks that in your heart, work is more important than her. Now is a good opportunity."

"My work is important, and so is my wife! I'm using my life to buy it, so don't set your sights on my wife!"

"If you care about her so much, why did you go to a hotel with another woman half a month ago?"

"When did I get a room - ah? You mean that time! My mom asked me to take her friend back to the hotel, but she insisted that she sprained her ankle and asked me to help her go in, and what happened -" Xia An stopped, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's the result?" Yu Ning asked.

"She pushed me against the wall as soon as she came in. I pushed her away and she left."

"Are you not tempted by her beauty?"

"There are surveillance cameras in the hotel corridor! I came out less than 2 minutes after entering the room. Will my wife misunderstand me because of this?"

Yu Ning didn't reply to him. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Did you hear everything?"

"heard it."

"Wife! I was wronged!" Xia An snatched the phone.

While Yu Ning was talking to him, the phone remained on.

Everything he said was heard by Teacher Gu on the other end of the phone.

Teacher Gu walked out of the milk tea shop, and Xia An ran over and hugged her.

"My mother wanted to match me up with that woman. I left as soon as I found out she was pretending to be lame. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be angry. Honey, please believe me!"

"I believe you." Teacher Gu burst into tears.

The truth is clear.

Teacher Gu's mother-in-law deliberately asked her to go to the vicinity of the hotel to do business, just to let her see Xia An check into a room with a woman!
"I have kept my promise to help you save your marriage. Now we can catch the murderer."

Yu Ning didn't want to interrupt when the couple was hugging.

As the couple hugged each other and talked to each other, her cell phone kept ringing.

The two Lin brothers came to pick her up, and she had to end what was happening quickly.

"I wouldn't trade my child for it!"

"I am a legitimate Taoist priest with a certificate recognized by the state. I would never do such crooked practices as offering sacrifices. I said that on purpose to help you resolve the obstacles in your marriage."

"Ah?" Xia An was confused.

Yu Ning took out a small notebook, wrote a string of numbers on it, and tore off the paper.

Xia An took the paper. What is this?
　I didn't get stuck today, so I gained merits - OK, I admit, I got stuck again. What should I do, bosses, please leave a message to help me gain merits?
