Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

Chapter 134 Hospital

"No, Grandpa Liu, I'll just have one more drink with you before heading back. Everyone in my family is drunk, except for Yanfang, who's sober at home. I'm worried about her."

"Alright, alright, then have a drink with us." Old Gao said, looking at his eldest grandson.

"Okay, Grandpa, Grandpa Liu. I'll toast you." After the three of them finished their drinks, Gao Jianguo went home.

Time flies when the New Year is over, and the snow outside melts at an astonishing speed.

"Honey, should we go to the hospital to check on the baby in my belly?" Shang Yanfang had wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up for a long time, but the university had closed the roads, so she hadn't been able to go.

“Okay, let’s go to the county for a check-up together tomorrow morning.” Gao Jianguo was clearing the snow in the yard when he heard Shang Yanfang’s words and agreed.

"Then I'll go prepare some things first, and you can go to the brigade leader's house to get a letter of introduction later."

"it is good."

in the hospital,

"Honey, wait here for a bit. I'll go register you." Gao Jianguo settled his wife in and then went to register.

Shang Yanfang looked around the hospital. It couldn't compare to hospitals in the 21st century, but it was better than the clinic in the commune.

"Young lady, are you about to give birth?" The middle-aged woman sitting next to her had been staring at her for quite some time.

"Um, Auntie. Are you talking to me?" Shang Yanfang asked, glancing at the sparse crowd around her.

"Yes, young man, are you here to give birth?" the woman asked again.

"Auntie, I'm here for a check-up. It's not time for me to give birth yet." Shang Yanfang looked at the older woman with a wary expression.

"You're here for a checkup!" Just as the aunt was about to say something, Gao Jianguo returned after registering.

"Honey, how are you? Are you cold? Hungry? Thirsty?"

"I'm not cold, not hungry, and not thirsty. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?" Shang Yanfang felt a little sorry for Gao Jianguo when she saw the sweat on his forehead.

"Okay." Gao Jianguo sat down directly between the aunt and the young woman. He had just seen the aunt ask her wife a lot of questions.

"Wife, what does this old woman do? What did she just say to you?" Gao Jianguo whispered in Shang Yanfang's ear.

"I don't know her. She came over and asked me if I was about to give birth," Shang Yanfang said softly, mimicking Gao Jianguo.

"Number Sixteen, is Number Sixteen here?"

"Yes, yes, doctor." Gao Jianguo glanced at the number plate in his hand and raised his hand.

When Shang Yanfang got up with Gao Jianguo, she noticed that the older woman from before was gone. She didn't think much of it and followed the nurse directly to the doctor's office.

"Hello comrade, are you going to be hospitalized to give birth?" Doctor U asked as soon as he saw Shang Yanfang's big belly.

"No, doctor. I'm just here for a physical exam. I'm only six months pregnant." Shang Yanfang sensed something was wrong. How could an experienced doctor also say she was pregnant?

"Only six months? Let me do a check-up for you first!" The doctor was slightly shocked after hearing Shang Yanfang's words.

Shang Yanfang followed the doctor to a bed behind a curtain and lay down. The doctor then lifted Shang Yanfang's clothes, picked up a stethoscope, and began to listen to her stomach.

A long, long time later, long enough that Shang Yanfang even dozed off, the doctor finally put away his stethoscope.

Gao Jianguo then took deep breaths of fresh air; he had been so nervous that he had even forgotten to breathe.

"Doctor, how is my wife?" Gao Jianguo helped his wife sit up with a quick step.

"It's what your wife should do, it's just..."

The doctor's half-finished explanation left Gao Jianguo feeling a bit overwhelmed. Unpleasant thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Just what? Just what?" Shang Yanfang looked at the doctor anxiously.

"But she's carrying twins, and I could hear both fetal heartbeats." The doctor's words brought a sigh of relief to Shang Yanfang and Gao Jianguo.

"Yes, in my family, my second brother and my eldest sister are twins, a boy and a girl." Shang Yanfang knew that twins were a genetic possibility, but she didn't know that she was pregnant with twins!

"If possible, you should get a color Doppler ultrasound done! That way you'll get a clearer picture," the doctor suggested, noticing their distinguished attire.

"Where should I go for the procedure?" Gao Jianguo asked the doctor, just recovering from his overwhelming joy.

"We can do it here, but it's quite expensive," the doctor said to the couple.

"We'll do it, we'll do it. No matter the cost, we'll do it," Gao Jianguo said loudly. For his wife and children, he was willing to give up money, even his life.

"Okay, I'll write you a receipt, go pay the fee. I'll go with you to get the ultrasound done later." The doctor handed a receipt to Gao Jianguo.

Shang Yanfang also glanced at the receipt with curiosity. The ultrasound cost thirty yuan. No wonder it was expensive. That's a worker's monthly salary!

Gao Jianguo went to pay the fees, and Shang Yanfang sat on the side of the office waiting.

"Oh no! Oh no! Child traffickers have snatched our child!" an elderly woman cried out from outside.

"Human trafficker?"

"That damned human trafficker?"

Upon hearing the shouts, the group of people were filled with righteous indignation and began to curse and swear.

"Comrade, don't go out here, I'll go out and take a look," the doctor told Shang Yanfang before running out.

Shang Yanfang sat there obediently, listening to the sounds outside.

"Keep it up, comrade, catch the human traffickers!"

"Child, save the child!" The noisy commotion outside made Shang Yanfang's heart itch; she really wanted to go out!

However, after looking at her large belly with two babies inside, she gave up the idea of ​​going out. What if she fell?

"Comrades, thank you so much."

"Young comrade, you're really something."

Amidst words of thanks and praise, Gao Jianguo and the doctor returned at the same time.

"Comrade, you were too brave just now. If it weren't for you, that child would probably be finished." The doctor looked at Gao Jianguo with great admiration.

"Doctor, you mustn't have done that! If you hadn't caught that child, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Gao Jianguo praised the doctor.

"Brother, from now on you can call me Brother Wang! Don't call me Doctor anymore, it's too formal." Doctor Wang thought highly of Gao Jianguo.

"Brother Wang, my name is Gao Jianguo, you can just call me Xiao Gao." Gao Jianguo also introduced himself.

Shang Yanfang roughly understood what had just happened from their conversation.

"Brother Wang, let's go get an ultrasound together." Gao Jianguo hadn't forgotten the important matter.

“Okay, let’s go.” Dr. Wang said, and tried to walk out with Gao Jianguo, arm in arm.
