Wang Yanling nodded with a flushed face, "Grandma, I am just hoping to be pregnant soon.""Yes, once you have the baby, I can help take care of it."
Wang Yanling nodded with a smiling face. She was feeling particularly excited.
"Grandma, when can I go see the doctor? Qian Jun said to go today."
"You can’t tell right now, you have to wait at least two months. Your period is regular, and this time it’s been delayed for a long time, so you should be pregnant. Don’t overthink and be careful with your movements."
"Okay, I got it. I will."
On the way, Wang Yanling told Qian Jun what the elder had said.
"Hmm, you shouldn’t work anymore, maybe you should take a leave and stay at home."
"No need, I’d be bored all by myself. I’d rather continue working."
Qian Jun thought about letting the director of Workshop Five know. The factory already had policies to support pregnant and nursing female workers. This was established when Jiang Xinyu was in office and was supported by all female workers.
Qian Jun informed the director of Workshop Five to try to take care of his wife.
Although he didn’t explicitly say she was pregnant, everyone who understood wouldn’t need an explanation.
The people who become workshop directors aren’t fools, so he went back and assigned Wang Yanling to counting, the easiest job, and it just so happened that Wang Yanling graduated from middle school.
Of course, some people were unhappy about it, but they stayed silent and only harbored anger internally.
Wang Yanling knew that Qian Jun had spoken to the director.
Liu Guohua was naturally pleased that his niece received some special care. After all, she married the factory director, so there should be some conveniences.
Just after the meeting, Qian Jun sat down and received a call from the city.
"Don’t believe what she says, nobody knows whose child is inside her belly. Her life is so chaotic, and it’s not just between the two of us. Now she’s seeing me living a good life, and she’s not reconciled."
"Got it, I know what to do. They wanted to thank you."
"Thank the leader for his appreciation, it doesn’t matter to me, I’m just worried it will affect the leader negatively. I’ll follow the arrangement."
"Alright, I’ll convey your words."
After Qian Jun hung up the phone, he dove straight into intense work, not paying any mind to Gu Xiaoyu.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoyu claimed that the child was Qian Jun’s. She thought she’d be released, but instead faced more rigorous questioning.
In truth, she was just a simple-minded woman, and a few words had her confessing everything.
The interrogators were getting more and more excited as they listened; her life surely was colorful, and the look they gave her was a blend of disdain and intrigue.
Eventually, Gu Xiaoyu decided to cut her losses and confessed everything.
People in this small county couldn’t possibly recognize someone famous from the capital, so Gu Xiaoyu’s attempt to use power to her advantage failed.
Her examination notes alone spanned over ten sheets of paper and could practically make up a novel.
Upon reviewing Gu Xiaoyu’s record, the authorities frowned. Some of the names sounded familiar, but they immediately realized those people from the capital wouldn’t care about her; otherwise, she wouldn’t be banished to this backwater.
Therefore, they handled things by the book, though the conduct of those under him was something he was aware of. Nevertheless, he gave them a warning.
"You must be careful. She’s had so many men, and there might be diseases."
"Mr. Qian from the textile factory hasn’t contracted anything despite such a long time, why would we? Leader, do you want to join us?"
Three days later, Gu Xiaoyu lost her child. This child was something she’d yearned for years but ended up losing. It was a heavy blow for Gu Xiaoyu.
Her mental state started to deteriorate. However, those people did get some perks, despite the loss being quite disappointing.
But there was no fear, adamantly refusing to release her. Staying here was fine too.
Gu Xiaoyu’s relatives didn’t make any appearances; it was embarrassing enough. If it weren’t for the money from the capital, who would have taken her in? Now that she’s disgraced, it’s assumed that those people wouldn’t bother with her. After all, when things went wrong, she called the capital but received no response.
The Lv Family was living particularly warm and cozy days together. It was rare for the family to spend time together, so they started packing their things bit by bit.
Li Xue vomited early in the morning, which scared Guodong, insisting on a hospital visit.
"Guodong, really, I’m fine. Don’t worry, just feeling a bit queasy and couldn’t hold back."
Lv Beiguang, as the father of two children, looked at his daughter-in-law’s condition and suddenly thought, "Xue’er, could you be pregnant?" He became a father at seventeen and Guodong was also a father at eighteen.
Lv Beiguang’s face was filled with a smile. Li Xue was stunned.
Pregnant? She frowned as she thought about the last time she had her period. It happened on the train, meaning it had been nearly a month late.
Jing Chu was also stunned, then smiled, "Really? I’m going to be an aunt? That’s great."
Guodong looked bewildered at his wife, his father, and his sister.
He understood their words, but couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
Since the first time, they hadn’t missed a day. They were young and curious, which was normal.
"Really? Xue’er, is it true?"
His wife was seventeen and already had their child in her belly?
Li Xue blushed, "I don’t know either."
"Hurry up and eat, then go to the hospital for a check-up," Lv Beiguang said as he stood.
His daughter-in-law’s pregnancy delighted him greatly as it meant having grandchildren, surely the happiest thing for Lv Beiguang.
After dinner, Li Xue wanted to take a stroll, so the young couple dressed up and walked to the hospital.
The doctor asked about their situation, then took Li Xue’s pulse.
"The pulse isn’t obviously pregnant, come back next month to check again. But during this period, you must be careful; if there really is a child, the first three months are very fragile."
The doctor spoke while looking at Guodong.
Guodong blushed as he repeatedly nodded.
Lv Beiguang and Jing Chu were father and daughter waiting at home for news.
"Dad, am I really going to be an aunt?"
"The pregnancy stage is likely too early for the doctor to be sure, probably just guessed from experience."
"Yes, but your decision to go there was definitely correct this time."
"Yes, I’m going there to see the kids."
"Haha, I’m going to have a little niece or nephew soon.
By the way, Dad, do you prefer boys or girls?"
"Either is fine, grandson or granddaughter, I love them both. Frankly, I actually prefer girls."
"Haha, me too. Look at Feifei, she’s so beautiful. I just adore Feifei."
