Chapter 277 Third Sister-in-law is Pregnant
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. It's not certain yet. Besides, even if you are pregnant, it's only been a month or two. You don't need to support me." Xi Ningzhi was a little flattered. She felt like a fragile doll, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Third sister-in-law, the first three months of pregnancy are the most important. Listen to your sister-in-law and be careful." Qu Yin was already convinced in her heart that Xi Ningzhi was pregnant.
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll listen to you." Xi Ningzhi knew that her sister-in-law had been pregnant twice before, so she must have experience.
The three of them went downstairs and headed straight for the clinic.
"Yes, Madam is two months pregnant," the doctor said, stroking his beard as he took Xi Ningzhi's pulse.
"That's wonderful, doctor! How is my third sister-in-law?" Xiao Siyue was overjoyed to hear the doctor's words; another new life had arrived in their family.
"The lady is in good health, and the baby in her womb is also fine."
"Thank you, doctor. Here is your consultation fee. We'll be going now."
"Third sister-in-law, did you hear that? You really are pregnant! Let's go back and tell Grandpa and Grandma the good news."
"Alright, let's go back." Xi Ningzhi was also very happy, touching her belly. This was her and her husband's child. She didn't expect them to have a child so soon.
After returning home, the three of them went straight to Grandpa Xiao's courtyard, only to find that their aunts and uncles were also there.
"Why are you back so early today?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked in surprise. Ever since Jiaoyan Pavilion opened, they have been busy in the shop almost every day and only come back in the afternoon. It's only just past noon now.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt, Mom,” Xiao Siyue’s clear voice rang out.
"Ahem, we have some good news to tell you today!" Xiao Siyue coughed twice and said excitedly.
"What good news?" Aunt Xiao asked curiously.
"Hmm, you guys guess," Xiao Siyue said playfully, her eyes sparkling.
"Jiaoyan Pavilion must have made some money," Aunt Xiao guessed. The three sisters-in-law had been busy with the shop every day recently, so the good news must be about the shop.
"Second Auntie guessed right. We calculated Jiaoyan Pavilion's accounts for the past month today, and we made a total of 800,000 taels of silver." Xiao Siyue said proudly.
"Really? Your shop makes so much money!" Everyone was astonished.
"Yue'er is right, the shop did indeed earn 800,000 taels," Qu Yin said to everyone again.
Grandpa Xiao couldn't understand how a beauty salon could make so much money; it was truly an eye-opener for him.
The women present understood perfectly, as they had experienced it firsthand and felt much younger, especially Grandma Xiao, whose skin was much firmer and smoother.
“Grandpa, I’ll give it to you another day,” Xiao Siyue suddenly said to the dazed old man.
"Ah, I don't want it. These are for women. How can Grandpa, a grown man, make these?" Grandpa Xiao waved his hands repeatedly.
“Grandpa, who says this only applies to women? Men can have it too! Look at Grandma, she looks so much younger than you now. If she gets any younger in a while, people will think she’s your daughter when you two walk together,” Xiao Siyue said exaggeratedly.
"Really?" Grandpa Xiao actually believed it, but Grandma Xiao had indeed changed a lot, and he was now a little worried. What if Grandma Xiao disliked him in the future?
"Of course." Xiao Siyue chuckled to herself, thinking it was far too exaggerated.
“Then, Grandpa will give it a try, but no one else can know.” Grandpa Xiao glanced at everyone present.
Everyone understood and nodded immediately, though they were secretly laughing hysterically; Yue'er was just too mischievous.
Seeing that Grandpa Xiao was willing, Xiao Siyue nodded in satisfaction, and then said to everyone, "There is another good news today, but this news should be told to you by Third Sister-in-law."
"Third Sister-in-law." Xiao Siyue winked at Xi Ningzhi.
All eyes turned to Xi Ningzhi, who was a little nervous and swallowed hard.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I'm pregnant. I'm two months along."
"What did the third brother's wife just say?" the eldest aunt asked excitedly, grabbing the second aunt's hand.
"Your third sister-in-law is pregnant, and you're going to be a grandmother again," the second aunt replied enviously. Her eldest sister-in-law already had three sisters-in-law, but her family still didn't have a daughter-in-law. She was so envious.
"Oh my, our third son is going to be a father! This is truly a joyous occasion! Ningzhi, are you feeling unwell? Is the baby in your belly being very active?" Auntie asked three times in a row.
"Sister-in-law, please sit quietly. It's only been two months, why are you making such a fuss?" The second aunt was speechless at the agitated eldest aunt. She was already a grandmother of two grandchildren, how could she still be so unsettled?
"Oh, right, right, Ningzhi, are you experiencing morning sickness? If you're feeling unwell, please tell us. Your health is the most important thing."
"Mom, I'm fine, I just felt a little nauseous while eating today." Xi Ningzhi felt a warmth in her heart; this home was just like her mother's home, very cozy.
"That's good."
Lin Qin was also very envious, but her children were all young. Xiao Siyu was only seventeen years old and would be getting married in a few years. As for grandchildren, that was even further away.
Grandpa and Grandma Xiao were also very happy, as they were going to have a great-grandchild again.
"Ningzhi, just say what you need, and tell us if you're feeling unwell. You're the most important person in our family right now, but don't feel pressured. Nothing is more important than you." Although Old Mrs. Xiao didn't say it explicitly, Xi Ningzhi understood and was deeply moved.
"Oh, Grandma, I've written it all down."
"Congratulations, sister-in-law!" Second Aunt said to First Aunt.
"Congratulations, sister-in-law," Lin Qin said.
"Thank you, my two younger siblings."
"Oh dear, Siyuan is about to become a father, and I wonder when Sizhe will get married. It's really worrying me to death. When will I be able to become a grandmother?" Aunt Xiao sighed.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry. Sizhe's destiny just hasn't arrived yet. When the time is right, Sizhe will be able to get married soon," Aunt comforted her.
“That’s right, Second Sister-in-law, if Sizhe doesn’t want to get married, there’s still Sibo, right?” Lin Qin offered a bad idea.
Auntie's eyes lit up. "That's right, Sibo is nineteen years old now, he's old enough to be a potential match."
Xiao Siyue glanced at her mother and sighed for her fourth brother. He was about to face his second aunt's pressure to get married. She hoped he could withstand the pressure.
"Yes, yes, I'll go talk to Sibo right away and see what he thinks. Father, Mother, Sister-in-law, and Third Sister-in-law, please have a seat." Second Aunt was indeed a decisive person; she had already gotten up and left impatiently.
