The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Capítulo 1443: Chapter 1443: Ding Yuehua Is Pregnant

Shu Yu was dazed for a moment, then smiled after coming to her senses, “Ah Ning? How come you’re here?”

Ah Ning recounted how they ran into gambling den thugs on the road, and fortunately, Xia Yan and Meng Han passed by and rescued them.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu couldn’t help but furrow her brows, “Were you hurt?”

“No, Second Sister, I can protect myself now.”

Back when Ah Ning encountered a thug wielding a knife at Renxin Clinic, she told Shu Yu that she not only wanted to learn medicine but also to practice martial arts. Initially, Meng Yunzheng was supposed to teach her, but he soon left for the capital to deal with Gong Qiu.

After returning, Old Doctor Zhao came back too, and Ah Ning followed Elder Zhao around, never having the chance for systematic training.

Yet, she insisted on sparring and practicing basic strength exercises daily.

Although she’s not capable of fighting others yet, Ah Ning is quite agile. Coupled with the unique life-saving techniques Zhao the Old Doctor developed through years of travel, she’s not easy to bully even when traveling alone.

Shu Yu reached out to rub her head, “Second Sister knows you’re strong, but don’t overexert yourself. Run if you can’t handle it.”

“Understood.” Ah Ning wrapped her arms around her hand, “Second Sister, was your trip smooth?”

“Smooth.” Shu Yu was led to sit at the table and took the tea offered by the young girl, asking about her situation, “What about you? Are you and Old Doctor Zhao still at the Tan Family?”

The young girl nodded, “Though Young Master Tan is basically fine, his health is severely depleted. It will take at least a few months to see improvement. Old Master Tan and Mrs. Tan don’t trust others, so they paid a hefty sum to keep the Master there to help nurse him back to health.”

Ah Ning emphasized the words ‘hefty sum’ particularly.

Shu Yu coughed lightly; even Old Doctor Zhao was retained by a hefty sum?

“Seems like quite a bit of money involved.”

“Yes, Master says, Eldest Sister is about to give birth, and it will cost a lot to raise the little apprentice grandson, so he needs to earn more.” At this, Ah Ning lowered her voice, “Master hopes Eldest Sister will have a baby girl, so Master can hire ten or eight maids to serve her, and she won’t have to do anything. If it’s a boy, it wouldn’t be good to raise him like that.”

Shu Yu, “…” She suddenly hoped for a nephew. If it were a niece, she might just be spoiled by Old Doctor Zhao?

Shu Yu also wanted to ask whether they found the culprit who poisoned Young Master Tan, given the poison was the same as that in the Xiao Family.

However, with Meng Han present, it wasn’t appropriate to discuss more.

The two sisters turned to talk about family matters, during which Shu Yu learned that Ding Yuehua is also pregnant.

Recently, Old Doctor Zhao also brought Ah Ning to Jiangyuan County, and although Shuyou was pregnant, with Zhao Xi by her side, Old Doctor Zhao was still worried and wanted to see for himself to be reassured.

It was during the last return trip that Ah Ning met Ding Yuehua.

Ding Yuehua got married around the same time as Daniu, but Daniu’s child has been born for several months, yet she hasn’t had any, and now it’s been a year and a half.

Ding Yuehua wasn’t disinterested. She specially asked for Zhao Xi’s help to check.

Zhao Xi said both she and Third Young Master Fan were physically fine, and advised them to relax, not overstrain themselves, and eventually, it would happen.

From Shu Yu’s perspective, a year and a half isn’t very long. Besides, they divided the family last year, and Third Young Master Fan was busy establishing his own household, obviously in no position to think about having a child.
