Chapter 271: Why are you guys here?
Just like most mothers-in-law, Lin Fengying’s first thought was to blame her daughter-in-law, Tong Yao. She kept hinting at Tong Yao to get a medical check-up whenever they spoke on the phone.
Although Tong Yao wasn’t in a hurry to have a child before, she soon started feeling anxious. She wondered if her second chance at life had come at the cost of her ability to become a mother.
Concerns about the couple not having a child after a year of marriage were not only held by Lin Fengying, but also by Tong Yaohui. Tong Yao’s father expressed his worries to Wen Yun, his wife, and they both decided to take Tong Yao to the hospital for check-ups.
Fearing the spread of negative news in the hospital, Wen Yun contacted an infertility specialist in another hospital after doing some research. Then, she discussed the matter with Tong Yao.
Worried about Tong Yao’s possible resistance, Wen Yun patiently explained, "Yaoyao, you and Xiaochen are both young. If there is a problem, the earlier it’s discovered, the better. Medical treatments are advanced now, so even if it’s a physical issue, your chances for recovery are high. Let’s have you checked first. If it’s not you, we’ll then get Xiaochen checked. Whoever has the issue should be cooperative. Our family can afford medical treatment, so don’t worry about that."
Every parent hopes to have grandchildren after their child gets married. They did not intend to pressure Tong Yao and Xiaochen, but it is also crucial for the young couple to acknowledge and address any potential health problems. Hence, they proposed a medical check-up.
With Tong Yao currently anxious about the situation, she agreed instantly after hearing that Wen Yun had contacted a specialist, "Mom, don’t worry. I’m not stubborn. Since you’ve arranged a specialist, let’s go tomorrow. But let’s not tell Ahchen yet. If it’s my issue, I’ll cooperate with the treatment. If it’s his issue, we’ll talk about it after he finishes his graduate school examination."
The competition for graduate school is intense in this era, with only a few thousand spaces available nationwide. It requires genuine talent, not just luck, to succeed. Hence, she respected his ambition and wanted to support him, just like he supported her in opening her own shop.
