Chapter 46: Money is coming
Xie Jinghao was lying on a thick mattress, with several children sitting beside her. Knowing that they were going to the county town to see a doctor for her, the children sat very obediently and quietly.
Shen Meng took out a few Golden Monkey milk candies from her bag and gave one to each person.
"Don't be afraid, your Third Aunt is fine. We're going to the county town to have a doctor take a look. Don't be afraid, Xiaogang, your mother is fine. Later, auntie will take you to the state-owned restaurant to eat big meat buns, okay?"
Xiaogang's eyes lit up when he heard this and he looked at her expectantly. He didn't really know what a state-owned restaurant was, but he knew about meat buns. This was something his aunt had made for him before, and they were so delicious that he dreamed of eating one again.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"Sister-in-law, don't spoil him. We are in a hurry to come back. It's the same to cook at home. Everything in the county is expensive. You need food coupons to eat in state-owned restaurants. Money can't be spent."
Shen Meng patted her and said, "Jinghao, we finally came here, let's not talk about the money. This time it's mainly about the baby in your belly. You hurt yourself when you gave birth to Xiaogang before, so you should be safer this time. Try to give birth in the hospital. Giving birth at home is unhygienic and dangerous."
When Xie Jinghao heard that she was going to give birth in the hospital, she sat up quickly. Her movement was so big that her stomach hurt.
"Hiss~, how can that be possible? How much money will it cost to give birth in the hospital? My parents will definitely not want to pay for it. Jiasheng works hard in the mine and doesn't make much money this month. I..."
"Is your life and the child's life more important, or is money more important, Xie Jinghao, if you don't love yourself, how can you expect others to love you? If something unexpected happens during childbirth, your child Xiaogang will be the only one who suffers. When your husband gets married, how will Xiaogang live?"
Xie Jinghao paused in her dissuasive voice, turned to look at Lu Mingyang and the children, then looked at her, and nodded.
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's see what the doctor says then!"
Shen Meng: “.”
No, what do you mean by that look? Although she is a stepmother, she is a good stepmother now, and she doesn't bully children.
Uncle Guai was driving the car in the front, listening to the conversation between the two women in the back. He had a new understanding of Shen Meng. He felt that this was very different from the Shen Meng he knew before. He was still too one-sided. Lu Zhenping was so outstanding, how could the woman he liked be bad!
The group soon arrived at the county hospital. Shen Meng originally wanted to take Xie Jinghao in to see the doctor by herself, but several children also got off the ox cart and followed the two of them like a bunch of grapes.
There was curiosity and helplessness on those young faces, and Shen Meng felt so soft inside when she saw that.
"How about we go together?"
"Okay, Mom, we can help."
"Xiao Kai can also help. Xiao Kai can help mom carry her bag."
The children were either helping Shen Meng carry her bag or busy supporting Xie Jinghao. Five children surrounded the two women, sensible and obedient. Who could refuse them?
"Okay, okay, let's go in together. This is a hospital, we can't talk loudly. We must be quiet after we go in. Uncle Guai, please wait for us outside, we will be out soon."
"Don't worry, you guys take your time to treat the disease. Give the cow a rest. Haha!" He felt sorry for the cow because it had walked such a long way.
"Hey!"
Xie Jinghao felt a little embarrassed. In the past, the cows in the production team were treated like treasures. Now, for her sake, her sister-in-law had to pay for and work hard for her, and the cows in the production team had to work hard. But before she could say thank you, she thought about Shen Meng's words, and she secretly swore in her heart that after she gave birth to a cub, she would do her best to help if there was any problem in her sister-in-law's family in the future.
The gynecologist was a woman in her forties. Shen Meng asked around and heard that she had worked as a doctor in a big city when she was young. After gaining experience, she wanted to return to her hometown to make a difference in a difficult place. Shen Meng could not help but respect such a person. The doctor's surname was Cheng. She spoke gently and kindly. She helped Xie Jinghao check her body very carefully. When the cold instrument was placed on her body, she was still a little uncomfortable and subconsciously went to find Shen Meng. Unfortunately, there were only doctors and nurses around her.
Shen Meng was outside with her five children alone. The doctors, nurses and patients walking around were all looking at her in shock.
"Wow, this girl is really fertile. She has five children at such a young age, and she has so many sons. She is so blessed!"
"That's right, she has so many children and is still so young. Look, it's really enviable."
"If this were my daughter-in-law, I would worship her. She has a thin waist and a big butt. She is destined to give birth to a son!"
The corners of Shen Meng's lips twitched for a moment, and she turned her head away. The children around her all looked at her, from her head to her
"What are you doing, little brats? Why are you always looking at your mother? Don't listen to nonsense!"
"Hee hee hee!"
"Hey hey hey!"
"I'm sorry, mom!" Lu Mingkai sat on the stool, swinging his legs happily.
Shen Meng: “.”
Sometimes kids can be pretty annoying, really!!!
"Are the family members here?"
Just when Shen Meng was feeling embarrassed, Dr. Cheng's heavenly voice rang out from the office. Shen Meng, who was rescued, quickly responded.
"Doctor Cheng, how is my sister-in-law's pregnancy?"
Cheng Yufen looked at the list with a frown and didn't speak for a long time.
Xie Jing grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously and looked at Shen Meng anxiously. Shen Meng patted her gently, silently comforting her.
"According to the examination, the baby is developing well, but there is a little miscarriage. You hurt yourself when you gave birth before, and you got pregnant again without recovering. I suggest you give birth in the hospital this time, and you may even have to have a caesarean section!"
"What? Caesarean section, doctor. I gave birth to my first child myself. There's nothing wrong with my body, so I should be able to give birth myself too." She was scared just thinking about stabbing someone in the stomach.
"Don't be afraid. I'm doing this for your safety. Why don't you discuss this with your family? I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You can take it home. If you feel any discomfort, come to the hospital to see me."
"Hey, thank you, doctor."
Xie Jing thanked him nervously and followed Shen Meng out of the office worriedly. Shen Meng didn't say a word the whole time. She had already tried to persuade him on the way here, but it would not be good to say too much.
Two people walked out, and a woman with a greasy face just walked into the office.
"Yufen, have you heard what I asked you? Among the people you know, is there anyone who can help buy a radio? Your nephew is getting married soon, and if you can't buy one, the girl won't agree."
Shen Meng paused when she heard this, and turned around with sharp eyes, "Money is coming!!!"
