CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: ABDOMINAL PAIN

"Wei Jin, Wei Jin, what’s wrong?"

In the middle of the night, Jiang Chunhe noticed that Wei Jin beside him was making uncomfortable groaning sounds. He turned on the bedside lamp and saw that Wei Jin’s face looked terrible.

Wei Jin was clutching her stomach, with tiny beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

"Wei Jin, is your stomach hurting?"

Wei Jin struggled to nod.

Jiang Chunhe immediately pulled back the covers and picked her up.

"Wei Jin, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital right away."

Jiang Chunhe put a coat on Wei Jin and carried her downstairs.

The commotion attracted the attention of others.

He Xiulan came out of the room, saw Jiang Chunhe carrying Wei Jin, and quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Chunhe’s voice was anxious: "Mom, Wei Jin’s stomach is hurting, I need to take her to the hospital."

At this point, Jiang Songwen also came out.

"Quick, get her in the car, I’ll drive."

"Okay."

Jiang Chunhe did not delay, and Jiang Songwen did not have time to change his clothes.

He Xiulan said, "I’ll go too."

Jiang Songwen nodded.

Sang Yu also came out of the room, "Auntie, what’s going on?"

He Xiulan said, "Wei Jin’s stomach is hurting, we’re accompanying her to the hospital to check."

Upon hearing this, Sang Yu quickly said, "I’ll go too."

He Xiulan refused: "No need, Little Yu, just stay at home. Jiang Lan has school tomorrow, and if we don’t come back, please take care of Jiang Lan."

Upon hearing this, Sang Yu nodded without insisting on going.

He Xiulan and the others hurried downstairs, and after a while, Sang Yu heard the sound of the car starting.

Why would the stomach hurt all of a sudden? Was it because of the seafood eaten at night?

But she was sure the seafood she cooked was well-cooked.

Sang Yu was a bit worried and couldn’t sleep at night. She went back to her room and saw it was already three in the morning.

Decided not to sleep, because she was worried about Wei Jin, and couldn’t follow to check, her heart was uneasy, so she took out her drawings and continued to draw.

...

Jiang Songwen drove the car to the hospital.

Jiang Chunhe immediately brought her inside, "Wei Jin, we’re at the hospital, don’t be afraid."

He Xiulan was also by Jiang Chunhe’s side, calling out as soon as they entered the hospital, "Doctor!"

Soon, a nurse on duty came over.

"What’s wrong with the patient?"

He Xiulan said, "Stomach pains."

The nurse checked Wei Jin’s condition, quickly called for a mobile bed, and summoned assistance.

The doctor on duty came quickly.

Conducted a series of examinations on Wei Jin.

Jiang Chunhe and the rest waited anxiously nearby.

After the examination, the doctor prescribed some medicine for the nurse, instructed her to get it, and arranged for Wei Jin to be given an IV drip.

"Doctor, how’s my daughter-in-law?" He Xiulan asked anxiously.

Doctor: "Nothing serious. Did she eat something cold tonight?"

He Xiulan thought for a moment: "We ate mitten crabs and lobsters."

Wei Jin’s diet is very regular and doesn’t typically include anything unusual.

Doctor: "That’s it. Mitten crabs are cold-type food; if pregnant women eat too much, it could lead to a miscarriage. You need to pay attention and avoid giving pregnant women these foods."

The doctor’s words stunned the three present.

Jiang Chunhe took a while to find his voice: "Doctor, what did you say? You said Wei Jin is pregnant?"

The doctor looked curiously at the three before him: "You don’t know? The pregnant woman is already more than two months along."

Once He Xiulan confirmed she hadn’t heard wrong, she excitedly grabbed Jiang Songwen’s hand and said, "Wei Jin is pregnant?"

Jiang Songwen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I heard."

Jiang Chunhe also looked excited, but seemed concerned about something.

"I prescribed her some fetus-preserving medicine; she’ll get IV fluids soon. When she wakes up tomorrow, she’ll be fine. But you need to be more cautious in the future; don’t let pregnant women eat those foods, otherwise, it might lead to a miscarriage."

He Xiulan promptly said, "Okay, okay, we understand. Thank you, doctor, thank you."

After the doctor left, He Xiulan looked at Wei Jin lying on the hospital bed, overjoyed and tearful.

No wonder Wei Jin has been feeling unwell lately, and seems constantly tired, often sleeping longer than usual.

She hadn’t considered that it was all signs of pregnancy.

At this moment, Jiang Chunhe’s voice suddenly rang out, "Dad, Mom, Wei Jin doesn’t know she’s pregnant."

Almost instantly, He Xiulan and Jiang Songwen understood Jiang Chunhe’s meaning.

Wei Jin had always been fearful of childbirth, so their attitude was to leave the choice to her—to have a child if she wanted, and not to have one if she didn’t.

They had never urged her to have children.

But now a child is here.

It arrived so suddenly.

Jiang Songwen slapped Jiang Chunhe’s head, "And you did such a thing?"

Jiang Chunhe held his head in grievance, looking at Jiang Songwen.

He Xiulan scolded quietly, "You know Wei Jin is afraid of childbirth, how could you not be careful? What are you going to do now?"

Jiang Chunhe hadn’t expected, just that once without protection.

Because that day they had run out of supplies and Wei Jin said it was her safe period, so he figured not using protection wouldn’t be a problem.

That’s why he didn’t use protection; just that one time, and to his surprise, it worked instantly.

Now he didn’t know what to do.

He Xiulan sighed, "Let’s wait until Wei Jin wakes up. First, let her know about the child’s existence; whether to keep it or not, let Wei Jin decide, we shouldn’t interfere."

Jiang Songwen nodded, agreeing with He Xiulan’s approach.

Jiang Chunhe also nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"Dad, Mom, you should go back and rest first; I’ll stay here with Wei Jin."

He Xiulan: "Forget it, it’s late now, and I can’t sleep if I go back. I’ll stay here with Wei Jin; you can go back first, child’s father."

Jiang Songwen: "I’ll wait here too."

So none of the three went back.

At home, after Sang Yu waited for a while, she made breakfast and then woke Jiang Lan up.

"Cousin-in-law, where are my parents?" Jiang Lan looked at the empty living room.

Sang Yu: "Your sister-in-law had a stomachache last night, so Auntie and the others took your sister-in-law to the hospital."

Jiang Lan: "Is my sister-in-law in serious condition?"

Sang Yu shook her head, "I don’t know either."

Jiang Lan: "I want to go see her too."

Sang Yu: "You can’t, Little Lan. You need to go to school. Don’t worry, your sister-in-law just has a stomachache, she’ll be fine, and she might come back tonight."

"But I want to go see her."

Sang Yu didn’t know how to persuade her, "Okay, go to school first. If your sister-in-law hasn’t returned by tonight, we will go to the hospital to see her, how about that?"

Jiang Lan hesitated, but after some thought agreed, "Alright."

Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also somewhat worried about Wei Jin’s condition, but remembering Jiang Jingming’s words, she had to hold back from going to see her.
