Chapter 733 No Need for Adoption



Chapter 733 No Need for Adoption

There were people in the village who came to play with their babies who were a few months old. Zhou Gu tried every means to hold them. Now the family was going to have their own baby, and he seemed even happier than Zhou Gu, who was going to be a father.

Zhou Mi, Zhou Mai, Li Lai and others reacted and congratulated him, saying this was a big deal.

This is the first time in all these years that their family has a newborn baby, and the joy of having a new member is the greatest joy of all.

Wu Ya was stunned at first, then she couldn't believe it, and then her eyes gradually turned red. This pregnancy was not so easy.

After all, she had been married for more than half a year, and there had been no news of her marriage, so many people in the village gossiped about her behind her back.

The heavy weight that had been weighing on my heart for so long finally fell to the ground.

Zhou Mai said: "Mom, I'll go get a doctor to take a look."

Li smiled and said, "It's dark now, where can we go to get a doctor? Let's go tomorrow."

Zhou Guo looked at Wu Ya's expression and said, "You'd better go. I'll ask someone to get a doctor. If the doctor can't come today, I'm afraid some people won't be able to sleep all night."

Li followed her gaze and looked at Wu Ya. Suddenly, she understood and waved her hand, saying, "Then go ahead and invite them. Hitch up the car and you can go with Big Brother."

At this moment, except Xu, no one was in the mood to eat.

This matter is quite important to the Zhou family. For so long, the gossip in the village has been blowing towards them like a gust of wind.

It is said that the Zhou family is blessed with many fortunes, but the third generation of descendants have less blessings. It has been almost a year since he got married, but there is still no sign of health.

Some even whispered that Wu Ya's body had been ruined by her stepmother and she would never be able to get pregnant in this lifetime, and that Zhou Gu, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, would have no descendants!

Everyone waited anxiously, and no one dared to guarantee that this was true before getting confirmation from the doctor.

Zhou Guo looked at Zhou Gu on the road, his eyes glowing like fireflies with excitement, but he said nothing. It was obvious that he had some ideas in the past year.

She consoled him, "Brother, it's okay. My mother has given birth to so many children, so this time it must be right. Besides, even if it's not right, it doesn't matter. You and my sister-in-law are still so young. We still have another 40 or 50 years to have children. If we have one every two years, we can have more than 20 children. The days you two have now are precious, so you must cherish them."

Even though Zhou Gu was honest, his face darkened when he heard this. "More than 20? Do you think they are piglets?"

Zhou Guo chuckled, "I was just saying that. You still have a long life ahead of you. There will be many times when you want to have children, but there will be few days like now when you don't have children. You should cherish it. Wouldn't it be nice to spend time alone with my sister-in-law?"

Zhou Gu didn't understand. "What do you mean by a world for two? If you get married, you have to have children. It doesn't matter if it's early or late. No matter what, it feels like a family with children. No one will gossip about it. In a few years, I'm afraid the villagers' spit will drown me."

Zhou Guo was speechless and asked again: "What if my sister-in-law doesn't get pregnant this time?"

Zhou Gu touched his head and said, "If she is not pregnant, it would be better to ask a doctor to take a look at her. Your sister-in-law has suffered a lot before, and maybe she is really injured."

Zhou Guo simply asked, "What if, what if my sister-in-law never has children?"

Now Zhou Gu was silent. He thought for a long time and said, "If the disease cannot be cured, then adopt one. Zhou Mi and Zhou Mai can always give birth to children. You can't divorce your sister-in-law, right? She has suffered enough."

Zhou Guo couldn't help but praise: "Brother, you are really the best man in the world. My sister-in-law is lucky to have found you."

The old doctor closed his eyes and concentrated, holding his right hand with his left hand.

The whole family looked at him nervously, especially Zhou Gu. He was traumatized by Zhou Guo's nagging along the way and really hoped that this was true.

After a while, the old doctor opened his eyes and smiled as the family looked at him, "Yes, she is pregnant. She has been pregnant for more than two months."

"Ah~~ It's true, we're going to have a baby in our family." Zhou Suli and Li Lai jumped three feet high.

Zhou Gu, the father, just grinned and laughed. He had only one thought at the moment: he didn't need to adopt his nephew anymore, he finally had his own child!!

Wu Ya cried with joy.

Li held her hand and comforted her, "Why are you crying? This is a good thing, you should be happy."

Zhou Guo pulled the old doctor aside and asked, "Doctor, do you think my sister-in-law should be given medicine to protect the fetus? Is there anything she should pay attention to on a daily basis?"

The old doctor said, "The mother is a little weak. Try not to overwork yourself. Be especially careful in the first three months. So, I will write a few dietary prescriptions for you. Don't take medicine. After all, medicine is three-quarters toxic. Taking medicine at this time is not good for the fetus or the mother."

Zhou Guo thanked the old doctor, gave him three strings of coins as consultation fee, and personally delivered it back to him.

The old doctor had no complaints about being called in so late at night. The Zhou family was really thoughtful. They paid a lot of money and provided pick-up and drop-off. So even if he was called in the middle of the night, it was fine.

Because it was not yet three months old, and Wu Ya's pregnancy was not very stable, no one in the family told anyone about it.

Even Zhou Xing didn't allow it to be passed on.

By the time the villagers found out, Wu Ya was already showing signs of being pregnant.

Everyone was shocked. "Are you pregnant? Or are you gaining weight?"

Wu Ya smiled and said, "Yes, almost five months."

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised, "When did this happen? Why didn't we hear anything?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Now we know, you know that the first three months are the most unstable time, but we didn't tell her. The doctor said it's okay now, so I asked her to walk around more often so that the delivery will be smoother in the future."

"You guys have done a great job hiding this. You've kept this great thing a secret. Let us be happy about it too."

When the news spread, everyone in the village knew about it and they all lamented Wu Ya's good fortune. Who could have thought that the poor person who had to beg for food under her stepmother for more than ten years would suddenly become the young lady of the Zhou family? Sometimes, one's fate is really hard to explain.

When Wu Ya's family got the news, they carried their things and rushed to Cangshan Village.

When the stepmother came in and saw Wu Ya sitting in the yard eating tea and snacks, she smiled and said, "Oh, our eldest daughter is living a good life now. She is pregnant and is living like a grandmother. It's a pity that your three brothers and your parents are at home and can't even eat a bite of food."

Wu Ya frowned and subconsciously sat up from the stool, "Dad, Mom, you are here."

Upon hearing this, Li came out of the house immediately and said as soon as she saw the two of them, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, please sit down."

Seeing that there were people in the room, the couple's expressions changed and they started to smile awkwardly.

Li was not enthusiastic either. These two guys gave so much betrothal gifts, but in the end they only gave their daughter so little when she got married. Not only did they take away the earrings from her ears when they returned home three days later, but the eldest brother and his wife could not even have a good meal when they went to pay them New Year's greetings.
