"You’re finally here, but why did you bring so much stuff? You must be exhausted?"
Rong Yan nodded, "I am exhausted, the handlebars of the bicycle are totally worn out."
Old Sir Qin couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.
His granddaughter-in-law was indeed a very amusing person.
Ren Lanshuang also laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you should visit more often. Your presence really brings joy to Old Sir."
Immediately, Old Sir Qin asked, "Were anyone hurt by those three thieves last night?"
Rong Yan shook her head, "No, they hadn’t been here long before we discovered them. My dad was a soldier back in the day, and he knows how to handle himself."
She didn’t mention that she was the one who had hit them the hardest.
Old Sir Qin knew that his in-law had served in the military but had retired due to an injury.
Dealing with a few petty thieves was certainly not a problem for him.
"It’s good that no one was hurt, but we must interrogate those thieves thoroughly."
"We’ll leave that to the police; they are the most impartial." Rong Yan looked at Old Sir Qin, noticing that his complexion didn’t look very good. "Grandpa, are you ill?"
"I might have caught a chill last night, so I didn’t come over to your place this morning. Oh, and about those rumors... I had asked Qin Zhen to..."
Old Sir Qin wanted to say that he had asked Qin Zhen to take care of it.
Rong Yan immediately waved her hand, "Grandpa, no need, I’ve already handled it. If you don’t believe me, ask Qin Mei."
Qin Mei, whose name was called by her sister-in-law, immediately nodded, "Yes, Big Sister-in-law took care of it. Those people have apologized to her!"
Old Sir Qin sighed in relief upon hearing this.
"That’s good!"
"Now, no one stands around any longer, let’s all sit down. I’ll ask Sister-in-law Liu to wash some fruit for you."
"Grandpa, let’s skip the fruit for now. I’ll take your pulse."
"I just have a minor ailment, it’s much better now..."
"It’s still better to check, taking a pulse won’t take long."
Ren Lanshuang also chimed in to persuade, "Uncle, let Sister-in-law check on you for peace of mind. Her medical skills are quite impressive!"
With both of them insisting like that, Old Sir Qin found it hard to refuse, and thus he extended his left hand.
Rong Yan took his pulse... "The problem indeed isn’t big, and the medicine you’re taking seems fine. So, I won’t prescribe anything new."
Old Sir Qin was pleased, "Granddaughter-in-law, you and Meimei should have lunch at home with us!"
This time Rong Yan nodded more decidedly, "Okay."
She mainly saw that Old Sir Qin especially wished for them to stay.
So she would stay, after all, it was just one meal.
Ailing elders do enjoy the care of family.
When Old Sir Qin heard his granddaughter-in-law agreed to stay for the meal, he immediately instructed Sister-in-law Liu, "Sister-in-law Liu, go buy some more groceries, cook several dishes for lunch, especially a few that the two of them love."
Sister-in-law Liu promptly nodded in agreement, "Okay, I’m on it now."
Rong Yan wanted to say there was no need for such trouble, that anything would do.
But Sister-in-law Liu left in such a hurry.
So she swallowed back what she was about to say.
Then she remembered Ren Lanshuang sitting nearby.
Turning to her, "Sister-in-law, take a seat, I’ll take your pulse too."
Old Sir Qin didn’t ask what the matter was, thinking perhaps it wasn’t convenient for him to stay, so he promptly stood up, "Meimei, accompany Grandpa outside for a walk."
Qin Mei glanced at her big sister-in-law, saw her nod, and then followed Grandpa outside...
A minute later, Ren Lanshuang asked nervously, "...Sister-in-law, how is it? Are you pregnant?"
"What was the first day of your last menstrual period?"
Ren Lanshuang carefully thought back and realized it had been quite a while.
"Seems like it was some day last month... No, I just had it half a month ago!"
She looked at Rong Yan, "Sister-in-law, am I mistaken? I remember I had it again half a month ago, but it only lasted a day and then stopped, and the flow was very light... so I just forgot about it."
Mainly because her period was not only irregular but also very light.
Rong Yan: ...
Are you really that careless?
"Your pulse suggests that you are pregnant, probably about fifty days along. As for your period half a month ago... that signals your pregnancy is not stable, and there might have been signs of a potential miscarriage... Have you been experiencing any recurring pain in your abdomen lately?"
Ren Lanshuang was stunned but nodded her head when Rong Yan asked her this question.
"Yes, my stomach has indeed been uncomfortable lately, just a slight pain, I... didn’t know I was pregnant, so I didn’t go to the hospital..."
Such a minor pain, endured, would pass.
Why would she waste time going to the hospital?
Thinking this, she suddenly became anxious and tightly grasped Rong Yan’s hand, "Sister-in-law, can my baby still be saved?"
For others, getting pregnant seemed as simple as a hen laying an egg.
But for her, it was much harder.
The child she had longed for, if lost due to her negligence... where would she even begin to grieve?
"Yes, don’t worry. I will prescribe some fetus-preserving medicine for you, and you can come and get it from me tonight."
The safest medicine... was the one grown from the herbs in her space.
Ren Lanshuang was extremely grateful, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I feel much more at ease with you around!"
Luckily, she caught her sister-in-law on a visit today, otherwise, she might not have even realized if she had lost the baby.
Thinking this, she was full of retrospective fear.
"No need to thank me, we are family." Rong Yan had a very good impression of her.
Knowing that she and her husband were eagerly awaiting a child, she naturally would ensure the baby was safe.
When Ren Lanshuang heard the phrase ’family,’ her smile was genuine, "I’ll go back now and come over in the afternoon."
Rong Yan was about to nod but then thought about the instability of Ren Lanshuang’s pregnancy and the possibility of complications.
So she changed her response, "You don’t have to come over, I’ll visit you myself."
"...That works too." Ren Lanshuang didn’t linger and walked out.
But this time, she was even more careful when walking.
She had to hurry and share the good news with her family.
Rong Yan stayed at the Qin Family for lunch and then went back home.
However, Qin Mei decided to stay behind, perhaps because Old Sir Qin was ill, and he asked her to stay, so she didn’t refuse.
In the afternoon, Rong Yan went home and prepared some fetus-preserving medicine from the herbs she had grown in the black soil of her space.
When she handed it over to Ren Lanshuang, she reminded her of some precautions before heading home.
This time, Qin Mei went back with her.
Having Qin Mei stay with Grandfather Qin during the afternoon was fine, but the thought of her spending the night at the Qin Family made Rong Yan somewhat nervously tense.
Seeing this, Rong Yan naturally brought her home.
When Qin Zhen came over to deliver the dog, the Rong Family had just finished eating.
"Auntie, this is the dog you wanted, it’s quite impressive."
Madam Rong was startled by the large size of the dog, "...this big?"
She had expected a cute little puppy!
Qin Zhen: "Auntie, don’t be scared, it’s very gentle and usually doesn’t bite people."
Madam Rong: ...
Please don’t explain; the more you explain, the more anxious I become.
