On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 12 Zhou is pregnant
  After stocking up on food and water for the day, everyone felt more confident.

We continued on the road the next day and everything went smoothly.

After walking for another day, we got closer to Lianshan Mountain. When we saw that big mountain, everyone felt a little scared.

We stopped to rest in the evening and everyone went to bed one after another after dinner. However, Mrs. Zhou felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning.

Ms. Liu was relatively close to her and asked quickly, "Brother and sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know what's going on. I just feel uncomfortable. Maybe I'm tired from traveling these days."

Mrs. Liu was a little worried, "How about letting Xiangxiang take a look?"

Zhou shook her head, "No, it's nothing serious. Xiangxiang has been tired for a day, so let her have a good rest."

Mrs. Liu said, "If you still feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, remember to call me and I will get you something to eat."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, "Family, what are you doing to be polite?"

The night passed uneventfully, but Zhou felt uncomfortable all night, with backache, dizziness, and nausea.

She was afraid of disturbing the rest of her family, so she kept silent. She didn't fall asleep until dawn, and now she felt sleepy again.

Everyone packed up their things, prepared to cook something to eat, and then continued on their way.

Mrs. Wang immediately saw that she was uncomfortable and asked quickly, "What's wrong with the third daughter-in-law? Why does she look so ugly?"

Zhou felt dizzy and shook her head. As a result, her body went limp and she fell to the side.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was standing by the side, and quickly asked her to lean against him, and said anxiously, "I felt uncomfortable last night. I was afraid of disturbing everyone, so I didn't say anything."

Wang said, "You too, just tell me if you feel uncomfortable. What should you do if you endure it?"

Ye Hongshun was loading the car when he saw his wife falling on his second sister-in-law and came over quickly, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

He had a loud voice, and when he spoke, the whole family gathered around him.

Ye Hongshun saw Ye Xiangxiang and said hurriedly, "Xiangxiang, come and check on your third aunt. Your third aunt seems to be sick."

When Ye Xiangxiang heard this, he was also anxious. When he saw Zhou's expression was not good, he became even more anxious.

"Third Aunt, let me take a look for you."

She asked Zhou what she felt uncomfortable about, and then checked her pulse. Zhou's symptoms and pulse...

She asked in a low voice, "Third Aunt, when did you have your last menstrual period?"

After hearing this, Ms. Zhou's face suddenly turned red. Ms. Wang sent the men in the family to work, and no one stayed around. Only Ye Hongshun stayed.

Mrs. Zhou then said, "I can't remember clearly. Anyway, I haven't been here since I fled. I was just on my way, so I really didn't pay attention to this."

I have been on the run for more than a month.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "What about before fleeing the famine? Do you remember the approximate date?"

Zhou tried hard to think back, "I probably didn't come here for more than a month before I fled."

So, it's very possible that she is pregnant.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Third Aunt, I am not a serious doctor, so what I say may not be correct, but your current symptoms may be due to pregnancy. Didn't you feel sick before?" Zhou said, "Yes, get up in the morning I always felt nauseous, so I didn’t think much about it, and it would get better in a while.”

"That should be it." Ye Xiangxiang said, "You have to take good care of yourself."

Mrs. Wang and her two daughters-in-law had all given birth to children, and now they knew in their hearts that Mrs. Zhou was pregnant.

It was supposed to be a happy event, but no one was happy. Mrs. Wang sighed, this little grandson came at the wrong time.

The road to escape from famine is inherently difficult, and even good people may not be able to bear it, let alone a pregnant woman. She doesn't know how long the child can stay in her daughter-in-law's belly.

Ye Hongshun and Mr. Zhou have been married for several years. They have never had children and are looking forward to the arrival of a child.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she comforted her, saying that if she didn't have it, she wouldn't have it. It was a good thing to have a daughter-in-law like her in the family, and the fate of children could not be forced.

Mrs. Zhou also relaxed, thinking that if she had it, she would have no regrets. If not, she would get along well with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she and her husband would be in love, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

She was prepared that she would never have a child in this life, but the child came quietly again, and it came at such an inopportune time.

Now I don’t even have a stutter and I eat wild vegetables most of the time. Can this child really be born?

Zhou touched her belly gently, wondering when their fate would end.

Everyone was silent and worried about how to take care of Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Wang cheered up and said, "This is a happy event for our family, a big happy event. From today on, the whole family will take good care of the third daughter-in-law and do our best to take care of her."

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu both nodded, and Mrs. Liu said, "Yes, if we take good care of you, your siblings will be able to give birth to the child smoothly. With so many people, how can we still protect you?"

Zhou felt uncomfortable, always feeling that she had dragged everyone down, and how would she be able to go on her way in the future?

Ye Xiangxiang comforted her, "Third aunt, our family can work together to solve any problem. It's the same with this matter. Don't think too much. Worrying and making you nervous is not good for your child."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Okay, no one is afraid, and I shouldn't be afraid. I will grit my teeth and protect this child."

"Daughter-in-law, I will take good care of you." Ye Hongshun held her hand and thought that he had to work harder. If he wanted his wife to work less without dragging everyone down, he would have to work more. OK.

Mrs. Zhou also held his hand. The couple had been looking forward to this child for many years and they must keep it.

Mrs. Wang also told others that everyone knew it and would take more care of Mrs. Zhou in the future.

All in all, the child in Zhou's belly is almost three months old. As long as he keeps up with the food and doesn't work too hard, there shouldn't be any big problems.

During breakfast, Mrs. Wang said, "No one should be sad. No matter how difficult the days are, you can grit your teeth and get through it. It's not time to starve to death yet."

Ye Xiangxiang said with a smile, "Grandma is right, smile more and your luck will be better."

People in the village learned that Zhou was pregnant and that the Ye family had nothing to eat. Several families brought some food to them for emergency use.

Wang's hands were trembling, "What's going on..."

Ye Shaodong's daughter-in-law Liu said, "Aunt, just accept it. Your family has taken great care of us. Now that life is difficult, we have to help each other. If Xiangxiang hadn't taught us to dig wild vegetables, we wouldn't have been able to eat so many fresh vegetables. "

Several other people also handed over things, including cornmeal, millet, and a small bag of flour.

This is what everyone meant. I dug a lot of wild vegetables to fill my stomach. These things help Zhou maintain her health. It is already difficult for a woman to get pregnant, let alone getting pregnant at this time?
  Mrs. Wang put the things away, held back tears, and said seriously, "I have remembered everyone's kindness. I must repay this kindness. When we settle down smoothly, I will repay everyone."

Everyone waved their hands, and Mrs. Liu said, "Third Aunt, we have to work together as a team and not say anything that is untrue."

Wang nodded, "Okay, thank you all for your thoughts, we can all get through this."
