The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

In those days, most roads were dirt roads with rough and uneven surfaces. When it rained, the roads were muddy everywhere, and sometimes the wheels would get stuck in the mud and be unable to move forward, requiring everyone in the vehicle to get out and help push it.

The weather was pretty good today, and although it was a bit shaky, we didn't encounter any major problems.

Wu Guihua sat in her seat, protected by Xin Yi and Zhang Lao Er, and was not greatly affected.

However, the two, who were acting as protectors of the flower, had to frequently change their postures to stabilize themselves due to the constant bumps along the way.

On the way, Wu Guihua felt very embarrassed about Xin Yi and Zhang Lao Er's care, so she offered to squeeze in with Xin Yi. Xin Yi refused without hesitation because the seat was too small. If the two of them squeezed together, it would not only be uncomfortable, but it would also be unsafe for a pregnant woman in her sixth month. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xin Yi had no choice but to stand with Zhang Lao Er until the end of the journey.

Xin Yi was so shaken she felt like throwing up. She remembered not feeling this way the last time she rode this bus. Could it be that the driver was incompetent?

Seeing that they had finally arrived in the county town, Xin Yi finally relaxed. Although she was feeling unwell, she still had to stay with Wu Guihua and wait for others to get off the bus first.

Because he had a lot of luggage, Zhang Lao Er had to get off the bus first with his luggage. As he left, he didn't forget to tell his wife, Xin Yi, "Wait until everyone else gets off before you move on!"

"Okay, just keep an eye on the luggage. Yiyi is with me!"

After everyone on the bus had finally disembarked, Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua slowly get off the bus.

Seeing Xin Yi and the other person come down, Zhang Lao Er asked anxiously, "Xin Yi, do you know how to get to the county hospital?"

"I know, don't worry, second brother. It's just a ten-minute walk. I don't know if sister-in-law can manage."

After Xin Yi finished speaking, she looked at Wu Guihua, who smiled and said, "I don't feel like I'm giving birth at all. Walking this distance is no problem for me. Let's go!"

As Wu Guihua spoke, she put one hand on her waist and took Xin Yi's arm with the other, and strode forward. Zhang Lao Er picked up his luggage and followed.

The journey, which took about ten minutes, wasn't far. Afraid of tiring Wu Guihua, the three of them stopped to rest halfway through.

Wu Guihua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had reached the hospital entrance. With her big belly, she must have been very tired no matter what.

The three of them went to the hospital. Xin Yi asked Zhang Lao Er to accompany Wu Guihua while she went to register.

After registering, Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua to the obstetrics and gynecology department. They registered with Dr. Li Hongmei. Luckily, there was no one ahead of them, so the two went directly into the doctor's consultation room. Zhang Lao Er sat down on a chair in the corridor to rest.

Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua sit opposite Li Hongmei. "Dr. Li, could you please take a look at my sister-in-law? Her due date has passed, but she hasn't given birth yet!"

The doctor took out his stethoscope, listened to Wu Guihua's heartbeat, and then listened to the heartbeat of the fetus in her womb. He didn't say anything, but continued to examine Wu Guihua's eyes and mouth.

"The fetal heartbeat is normal, and the pregnant woman is fine. Right now, we can only do an ultrasound to check on the baby's condition!"

Dr. Li wrote out the prescription and handed it to Xin Yi. Xin Yi took it and looked at it. Goodness, these days an ultrasound costs two ten-thousand-yuan bills. No wonder people would rather stay at home to give birth than go to the hospital.

"Doctor, my sister-in-law definitely needs to be hospitalized. Could you please give us the hospitalization form first so we can get her admitted? It's not convenient for us to have our luggage with us!"

Li Hongmei thought about it and agreed, so she filled out the hospital admission form. Xin Yi took the form and helped Wu Guihua out of the clinic.

"Yiyi, let me see how much it will cost to be hospitalized!"

Xin Yi didn't give it to him, but handed the form directly to Zhang Erge, "Erge, you go pay the fees first, get admitted to the hospital, and then we'll go get the ultrasound after you've put your luggage away!"

Brother Zhang took the receipt without even looking at it, saying, "Wait here for me, I'll come back for you when I'm done!"

Xin Yi then helped Wu Guihua sit down on a chair in the corridor.

"Sister-in-law, we're here to give birth. Since we're already here, why worry about the cost? Would you give up your baby just because it's expensive?"

Xin Yi hit the nail on the head regarding Wu Guihua's thoughts, and Wu Guihua's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "My family all make a living by farming, and we hardly have any money left over at the end of the year. I've always tried to save as much as possible, but the baby in my belly just seems to be working against me. Even if we save for several years, it might all be gone in one trip. I can't bear to give up my child, but..."

Xin Yi immediately interrupted, "No buts. As a mother, I have to think about my child. Isn't money meant to be earned and spent? Since you're here, make the best of it. After you finish your postpartum confinement, I'll help you earn money and get back everything we've spent!"

"You make it sound so easy, but I wonder how long it will take to earn it back!"

"Hey, Wu Guihua, don't you believe me? I, Xin Yi, keep my word!"

After Xin Yi finished speaking, she pretended to be very angry, and Wu Guihua had no choice but to go along with it, saying, "Okay, I believe you. I'm waiting for you to help me make a lot of money!"

Not long after, Zhang Lao Er returned, picked up two bags of luggage and a small suitcase from the ground, and said, "The formalities are done. Let's go find a room first!"

Since Xin Yi had been here before and knew the way, she helped Wu Guihua directly to the room. Along the way, Wu Guihua wanted to ask Zhang Lao Er how much money he had spent, but she remembered what Xin Yi had said and held back.

Wu Guihua stroked her belly, thinking, "Yes, no matter how much money it costs, I will ensure the safe delivery of my baby."

In no time, they found the room arranged by the hospital. It was a triple room, and someone was already inside. It was an old lady who glanced at Xin Yi and the other two without saying a word.

Xin Yi and the other two were not the type to fawn over someone who wouldn't listen. They went straight to the innermost bed, and Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua sit down on the edge of the bed.

Zhang Lao Er opened his luggage bag and started packing his things: two aluminum lunch boxes, a face towel, an enamel basin, a water cup, a toothbrush... He took out everything he needed for the time being and arranged it out.

Xin Yi was thinking of hurrying to get the ultrasound done so that the results would be available in the afternoon, and the doctor would know the specific arrangements.

"Brother Zhang, I'm taking my wife to get an ultrasound. You can pack your things and watch the luggage while you're at it!"

As he spoke, Zhang Lao Er glanced at the old lady beside him and understood what Xin Yi meant. "You guys go ahead, I'll wait for you in the room!"

Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua out of the room, but since they didn't know where to get an ultrasound, they asked a nurse for directions.

The nurse looked at you and said, "Didn't you come here a couple of days ago? Why are you here again?"
