Chapter 72 Night Owls Can Be Bad for Pregnant Women
Tong Yao: Only a week of pregnancy sickness after marriage? Strawberries don’t even grow that fast. It’s clear that there was a premarital pregnancy.
Of course, she couldn’t say that out straight. She laughed and joked, "I only eat this much because I skipped lunch today; I must not be pregnant."
Li Nuanchun, a gossipmonger, was eager to confirm whether Tong Yao was pregnant, regardless of the presence of Si Chen. She asked directly, "Girl, when did your period come last month?"
Tong Yao’s face turned even redder. She glanced at Si Chen and said quietly, "It seems like it was at the end of the month before the last one."
Her period was likely delayed a few days due to the change of environment when she first arrived here. If it wasn’t for Li Nuanchun’s reminder, she would have completely forgotten about it.
Li Nuanchun was excited, slapping her thigh, "See, you’re still denying being pregnant, but your period has been overdue for several days already."
Perhaps due to being childless despite her own age, Li Nuanchun was particularly keen on Tong Yao’s supposedly impending pregnancy. Worried that the young lady might be reckless and unable to control herself, Li opened ’pregnancy 101’.
"Dr Si, Tong Yao must be pregnant. She needs to be careful at night. The placenta isn’t stable in the first three months of the first pregnancy, so Tong Yao needs to take care of herself as she’s so thin. If she doesn’t, her vitality will be injured, which will be hard to recuperate. I’ll buy you all a fish to eat tomorrow! They say if pregnant women eat fish, their child will come out smart. Add more vinegar when cooking fish. The more sour it is, the better chance the child will be a boy, the spicier it is, the better chance the child will be a girl. Oh, and Tong Yao, you should resign from work as soon as possible. Don’t compare yourself to farmers, their bodies are stronger even when they are pregnant..."
Seeing that Li Nuanchun was becoming more absurd in her speech, and fearing she may start talking about kindergarten for the unborn child, Tong Yao quickly interrupted her, "Sis, Ahchen is a doctor."
Not to mention Tong Yao wasn’t even pregnant, but even if she were, they would both understand all these things. Having Li Nuanchun say all this in front of Si Chen was utterly embarrassing.
