Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Pregnant?
Chapter 53 -53: Pregnant?
“Ugh—”
Mrs. Lu patted her back gently, her face all scrunched up in concern.
“Susu, what’s wrong?”
Coming out with her were Xiao Yu and their cousin Bai Xiao.
“Aunt, what’s happened? Why did you throw up?”
“Is the second sister-in-law okay?”
Looking at the mess on the ground, Susu felt very embarrassed and shook her head.
“It’s nothing, really.”
Jiang Nan watched the fuss over the Chongxi sister-in-law and smirked slightly.
As soon as Susu sat down, she seemed to smell that fishy scent beckoning her and covered her mouth, rushing outside again.
Hunched over, she even started crying from the retching.
“I can’t do this, mom, you guys eat first. My stomach feels terrible.”
Mrs. Lu’s eyes shone with excitement as she slapped her thigh, “Susu, when was your last menstrual cycle?”
Susu hesitated for a moment, her eyes meeting her glowing mother-in-law’s as she frowned and tried to remember.
“Hmm, it seems like it’s been over a month since it last came.”
God! Could it be what I think it is?
Mrs. Lu clapped her hands loudly, her face beaming.
“Ah, that must be it, I guessed you must be pregnant!”
“Old man, second son, come out quickly, stop eating, hurry.”
The men in the house looked at each other before getting up from the Kang one by one.
“What’s with you, old woman, can’t we even eat a meal?”
“Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you think about, I’ll give you nothing to eat!”
Father Lu was dumbfounded as his spouse scolded him.
Lu Xiaoting furrowed his brows and rushed to support his pale-faced wife.
“What’s wrong, dear? Why so pale?”
Before Susu could even speak, Mrs. Lu slapped her younger son on the back and said sharply,
“Ask, ask, ask. You are always asking. You didn’t even notice your wife feeling nauseous. Hurry, get the bicycle ready, and follow me to see the doctor with your wife.”
“See the doctor?”
Mrs. Lu slapped him again, “Yes, see if your wife is pregnant!”
Lu Xiaoting, still stunned, disregarded the palm marks the Iron Sand Palm of his mother left on his back, and listened to her orders.
He went inside, grabbed a thick cushion, and tied it to the back of the bicycle.
Susu watched her dumbfounded husband and laughed tearfully.
The mother and son guided the bicycle outside. Not wanting to stay at home and wait, Father Lu decided to follow them.
Jiang Nan was feeding his little daughter when he saw the joyful group entering and casually asked,
“What happened?”
Brother Lu was beaming, “The second sister-in-law might be pregnant, mom and dad took her to the hospital.”
Jiang Nan paused his chopstick mid-air and nodded.
“Oh, that’s good news.”
He marvelled at how the elderly couple could not even wait to finish their meal before rushing to the hospital.
After having their meal, the two brothers tidied up the table and washed the dishes.
Lu Xiaoting watched the traditional Chinese medicine doctor press fingers on his wife’s wrist, his face full of concern, “Doctor, how is it?”
Mrs. Lu glared at her son, “Keep quiet, don’t disturb Doctor He.”
Usually, when someone in the Family Court got ill, they didn’t go to the hospital but visited this traditional doctor for a diagnosis and some herbs. Though the recovery was slow, it usually left no lingering illness.
“Um, indeed, it’s a joyful pulse, still early in the pregnancy, not even two months. She’s lacking some nutrients, make sure she eats well when she’s back.
If you’re still concerned, come back later for another checkup.”
“Pregnant! Not even two months…”
Lu Xiaoting’s mind raced as the old doctor’s words echoed repeatedly.
“Wife, am I going to be a dad?”
Susu looked at her husband’s dazed expression and couldn’t help but laugh, nodding her head.
“Yes, you’re going to be a dad, and I’m going to be a mom.”
“You silly boy.”
Mrs. Lu scolded with a smile.
“Aunt!”
From afar, Xiao Yu was seen squatting by the door, hugging Da Hei’s big black head.

Susu looked at the little one’s wrinkled face and smiled.
“Aunt’s fine.”
“Then why did Aunt throw up?”
“Xiao Yu, your aunt is going to have a little brother or sister.”
Lu Xiaoting patted the little guy and said with a smile, “You’re going to be a big brother.”
Hearing that he was going to be a big brother, Xiao Yu’s mouth puckered as he both cried and laughed.
The adults were bewildered by the little one’s reaction, as Susu hugged him and soothed him gently.
“Why are you crying?”
Xiao Yu cried uncontrollably, his small hands tightly grasping Susu’s neck.
“Aunt, our village had an auntie who was having a little brother, and then… then that auntie… she’s gone.
I… I don’t want… I don’t want our auntie to be like that, I…”
Understanding, the mothers-in-law took turns comforting the little one.
It wasn’t until they promised to take Xiao Yu along to see Doctor He every time that the little guy cheered up.
He ran back to brag to his sisters that he was going to have a little brother or sister soon.
The siblings curiously gathered around Susu’s belly.
Watching Chongxi Sister-in-law being crowded by everyone, Jiang Nan almost rolled her eyes to the ceiling.
Snorting, “Pfft, what’s the big deal? I bet when you have a daughter, the old lady won’t pamper you like this.”
“Mommy, grandma said I came from your belly, why is that?”
Xiao Xue ran in energetically, pointing to her armpit, her head sweaty.
Brother Lu came in laughing and scooped up his little girl, “Grandma was teasing you, you and your sister both came from Mommy’s belly.”
“Really?”
Seeing her daughter’s wide eyes fixed on him, Jiang Nan smiled and nodded.
“Humph! Grandma was lying.”
Xiao Xue twisted her little hips, struggling to get down.
“Daddy, put me down, I’m going to find grandma.”
Brother Lu gently patted his little girl’s butt, and as soon as she hit the ground, she ran off like the wind.
“Wife, why are you glaring at me?”
Jiang Nan huffed, “Everyone else’s wife is pregnant, and you’re all excited, running around.”
Knowing his wife was jealous, Brother Lu immediately wrapped his arms around her.
“That won’t do, old man, you better hop on your bike and get to the supply station to buy a bottle of wine, I need to visit Old Blind Man this afternoon.”
“The most expensive one.”
“Got it.”
As soon as Father Lu heard it was for Old Blind Man, he said no more and rode out the door on his bicycle.
Susu couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mom, what do you need from Old Blind Man?”
“Mom has something to ask Old Blind Man, don’t worry about me during lunch.”
Mrs. Lu got up saying she was going to call Aunt Su to join her; it was a good time to have Old Blind Man calculate Xian Yue’s marital prospects.
Seeing her mother-in-law so trusting of that man, Susu felt uneasy and turned to look at her husband, who was massaging her shoulders.
“Mom trusts him too much, could she be cheated?”
Lu Xiao furrowed his brows in thought, “She shouldn’t be; they say Old Blind Man is really accurate. He even calculated all of our siblings’ names.”
Susu perked up, “That explains why the middle names of Brother and the third brother both have ‘Huai.’ I thought it might be because our sister is a girl…”
“Immortal, are you there?”
