Su Chen took out a pill from his pocket, tore open the wrapping paper and handed it to the pregnant woman's mouth. He watched her put it in her mouth, sitting on the ground with her back against the wall, breathing heavily.
With his eyes closed, cold sweat rolled down his cheeks. The discomfort he felt after eating the candy slowly dissipated, and he opened his eyes to look at them.
Still a little blurry, the pregnant woman said weakly, "Thank you, I just had hypoglycemia. If it weren't for you, I would have fainted today."
Qin Wushuang looked around. Others were just curious and no one dared to come forward to help. He whispered, "What kind of inspection are you doing? Why are you alone?"
The pregnant woman looked much better after eating the candy, but her eyes dimmed a bit after hearing this: "My husband is often busy with work and business trips, so I always go to prenatal checkups alone, but this time the checkup didn't go well."
"The four-dimensional examination requires the child's cooperation. This child has been lying on his stomach and refusing to be examined. So I have to climb the stairs again and again. I have climbed three or four times and it still doesn't work."
"Well, sometimes when things don't go smoothly, we have to do several checks, and it's common to be delayed for two days. If everything goes smoothly, it can basically be done in half a day."
Qin Wushuang thought about the prenatal examination process she had just seen and knew that the four-dimensional examination would take about six months. She glanced at her big belly and reached out to help her up.
"The ground is cold, let me help you sit over there and rest."
"Okay, thank you."
The pregnant woman sat on a chair, gulped down some water, took out some biscuits from her bag and ate them. Then her body slowly returned to normal and she waited for the next call to go for a check-up.
"Beautiful lady, I can't even see your belly. You must be less than three months pregnant. Are you here for a prenatal checkup?"
"Yes, I came to check if I'm pregnant."
As they were talking, the phone rang. The pregnant woman picked up the phone and frowned at the noisy voice on the other end: "Mom, my examination didn't go well. I won't be back before noon."
"What? If you don't come home, who will cook? You're the one who feeds the oldest child, and he won't eat even if I feed him. Are you going to let him starve?"
"Really? We didn't have to check before and it was fine, but now you have to check once a month. It's really troublesome. I think you are just being pretentious. Why do you need to check if you don't feel any discomfort?"
The pregnant woman let out a sigh, suppressed her anger, and said calmly, "Mom, times have changed. I'm doing this for the good of the baby."
Who doesn't want a healthy baby? I just had hypoglycemia and nearly fainted. If I go back, it'll be too late for me to get checked out.
[Feed the eldest one some lunch at noon. If everything goes well, I'll check him out this afternoon and then go back.]
In my ears I could hear the old lady's mumbling complaints.
After hanging up the phone, the pregnant woman was so angry that she called the man and briefly told him what had happened.
[Zemin, can you please persuade your mother? I'm already exhausted from coming here for the checkup alone. I really don't have the energy to run back and forth. My baby in my belly isn't cooperating either. You...]
"Enough of that? I'm busy and exhausted working to support my family. Just handle the inspection yourself. My mom's already working hard helping you raise the kids. What are you complaining about?"
The pregnant woman felt a little sad when she heard this.
She said aggrievedly, "But this child isn't mine alone. I've shouldered all the hardship. Giving you three to five thousand a month to support the family isn't enough. Okay, if the money isn't enough, I can use my savings."
"Can you please pay more attention to me? I'm a pregnant woman and need someone to care for me. I can't see you once a month. I feel like a widow."
This angered the man, and he continued to roar on the phone.
"What do you mean? You think working outside is easy, right? If you're capable, go work and support the family, and I'll stay home to take care of the kids. You already have some savings before you get married, right?"
"I can give my family three to five thousand dollars a month, which is enough. If there's any shortfall, you can contribute to it yourself. That's your problem. It's your lack of frugality. What does it have to do with me?"
[By the way, I've accepted the company's transfer order and will be heading overseas to oversee a project in three months. My mom will be taking care of you during your confinement period, so stop being so pretentious and just cook and eat whatever you want.]
When the pregnant woman heard this, she was completely stunned.
Li Zemin, you bastard, how could you do this to me? You forced me to have a second child, and then you acted like a hands-off boss, even choosing to leave the country just when I was about to give birth.
[You're just plotting against me, you heartless bastard! ]
The person on the other end of the phone showed no fear at all and snorted coldly: [What are you fussing about? It's just a pregnancy. You really think you're the boss. Do you think everything has to revolve around you?]
"It's up to you. I'm going abroad in three months anyway. Take care of the kids and save your money. I'll have a lot of money to spend while I'm away."
You're living in seclusion at home, so you should be content. Don't you understand? If you don't have enough money, why bother with the 200,000 yuan you saved before marriage? As a family, why bother with so much?
The pregnant woman was shaking with anger. The nurse came over and tried to persuade her, "Calm down and be careful with the baby in your belly."
Children are children, and everyone only cares about the children, right? After hanging up the phone with a snap, the pregnant woman called home with trembling hands, biting her back teeth.
"Dad, you've always felt like you had no one to carry on your family line. The second child is a boy, and I can take both children back to my parents' home, but you have to help me get a divorce. I absolutely must!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then a man's low voice sounded.
【Have you decided?】
"Yes, I've made up my mind. I can't live with this frustration any longer. Please hire a lawyer for me and bring the eldest child home. I'll take both children home and change their surnames."
After finishing her conversation, the pregnant woman was still breathing heavily after hanging up the phone, and she didn't even notice that her phone had fallen to the ground.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the nurse bent down to pick it up and handed it to her, gently comforting her: "Pregnant women are easily emotional due to hormone control during pregnancy. Please calm down and don't be impulsive."
"I'm fine now. I'm more sober than ever. There's no point in continuing to live that kind of dark and hopeless life, spending all my savings and then getting kicked out."
"It's my turn to check. I have something else to do after the check."
The pregnant woman stood up and wiped her tears, her eyes full of determination.
The nurse glanced at the queue number and said softly, "There are about ten people ahead of you. You may not get a turn today."
Qin Wushuang looked at her, picked up the phone and sent a message. Soon, a man in a white coat came over and said politely, "Boss Qin, why are you here?"
"Take her for a four-dimensional prenatal checkup. We'll count when it's over. A private examination room should be fine."
"Of course, no problem. You've invested a lot of money in this hospital, so this small request is certainly acceptable. Ma'am, please follow me. I'll give you a four-dimensional scan right away."
The pregnant woman looked at him in surprise: "Why are you helping me?"
"Because you know how to resist, as a woman, I'm willing to help you out. It's just a small favor, don't think too much about it. Go get checked. After the checkup, you still have a tough battle to fight."
