CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 271: PHONE CALL

While thinking, someone came up looking for Yang PeiMin, saying that there was a call for her in the communications room and that she should hurry down.

Yang PeiMin followed the person downstairs.

"Hey, sister-in-law Shen, is it your family calling?" someone with sharp eyes recognized the communication soldier in front of Yang PeiMin and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Yang PeiMin smiled and nodded, hoping it wasn’t from the Shen family, otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to say.

Calming down, Yang PeiMin felt that the urgent priority now was to get pregnant as soon as possible.

But Shen Yiguang had gone for training, and she didn’t know when he would return.

What was she supposed to say now?

But to tell the truth outright, the elders definitely couldn’t take it, such ’gain and then loss’ could be unbearable for people their age who still hated Sun Chengkuang, it would shock them to no end, how could she explain this to Shen Yiguang?

If she told a lie, and then couldn’t conceive later, it would be the same situation as before.

After thinking a lot of drafts in her mind, the communications room she usually found quite far seemed to have arrived in the blink of an eye.

When she arrived, the phone rang again right on time.

Before picking up, she quickly asked the person next to her who had just called her.

"It’s your mother."

Her mother?

Chen Guizhi.

But after picking up the phone, she found out it was Zhang Minghua. Just as Yang PeiMin greeted her mother, the other end started spouting a torrent of words.

"You didn’t even call home to tell us such a big thing as your pregnancy. We heard it from your mother-in-law who found someone to tell us. But either way, your in-laws were so happy, they got the news and sent us a message the same day, it’s all the same if they spoke... What am I even saying! Hahaha... Look how happy I am. How are you feeling now, is your appetite okay? Feeling nauseous? Want to throw up? Sleeping well? I’m telling you, now that you are pregnant, you absolutely cannot share a room with your son-in-law, these three months are very critical, you must make this clear to your son-in-law, you absolutely can’t do it, your fetus is not stable yet..."

Listening to her own mother, going further and further with her talk, Yang PeiMin hurriedly interrupted her, "Mother, listen to me... I..."

"That’s good, you should be more careful normally, you can’t be so free-spoken, doing things without consideration, don’t do any lifting or moving heavy stuff anymore, you are weak, you need to be extra careful..."

"Mother, you haven’t understood what I was trying to say..."

"What do you mean? What are you trying to say? Oh, my dear, you there all by yourself without any elder to watch over you, can you manage? This child, you used to catch colds so easily, it worried me to death, what should we do now? Should I come over to take care of you?"

"Mother, it’s not... no need, I am not pregnant." Yang PeiMin didn’t care if there was a gap to interject, she directly spoke her true thoughts.

"What? What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly." Then her mother Zhang Minghua’s voice suddenly became louder, obviously hearing the important words but not wanting to believe them.

"Mother, I said I am not pregnant, I made a mistake myself. Remember a few days ago I was late, and I thought I was pregnant, so I told Shen Yiguang about it, and he believed it, then he reported it to his family. I was planning to go to the hospital today to check, but right when I was leaving, my period started, mother I am so scared, does everyone there know about my pregnancy now?"

Zhang Minghua was silent for a moment, overwhelmed by the shock.

Yang PeiMin hurriedly called her twice.

Zhang Minghua, both angry and anxious, said, "You child, how come after being married so long you still haven’t settled down, tell me what to do now? The close relatives of both families know, tell me how are you going to explain it to your in-laws? If they find out the truth, it will infuriate them to death. Even if they don’t die of anger, people in the village will laugh them to death. No, you must get pregnant immediately now, it’s almost New Year, will you be coming back then?"

Yang PeiMin still didn’t know about this, nor did she dare say that Shen Yiguang had gone for training, with an unknown return date.

"Minmin, you usually stay in school without going back home, right? And your son-in-law stays in the military base? Then don’t you only meet once every week and a half? How can you conceive like this? Dear, I think you should ask for half a month’s leave from school to properly accompany your son-in-law at home, to get pregnant sooner."

She then got into advice about the timing and positions...

At this point, Yang PeiMin not only agreed with everything but also promised to try her best to conceive in the near future. Finally feeling somewhat reassured but still very worried, her mother felt a bit comforted.

After hanging up the phone, Yang PeiMin wiped sweat from her forehead.

This method of pressuring for pregnancy was terrifying!

Luckily, no one was nearby; otherwise, she would have been embarrassingly exposed. Just as she was about to return and had reached the doorstep, a Military Wife happened to walk in.

"Sister-in-law just heard a bit of your conversation, something about pregnancy, are you pregnant?"

"Not yet."

"No worries, sister-in-law you’re still young. Just keep a relaxed mind, what should come will come, don’t panic."

"I know..."

"Good, you know, and you don’t need to be too thankful, we all live in the same compound, it’s only right for us to help each other..."

Yang PeiMin hurriedly left.

Walking out the front door, she thought for a moment and then headed toward Political Commissar Zhou’s house, but when she got there, no one was home. She then folded back to Political Commissar Zhou’s office.

There were likely others in his office discussing matters, and she was stopped by Wang Weibing,

She still didn’t have Shen Yiguang’s return date, and she felt uncertain. Not being able to enter Political Commissar Zhou’s place, she could only go to find Xiao Xu.

She subconsciously knew, Xiao Xu must know about Shen Yiguang’s situation, asking him was the best option.

Xiao Xu couldn’t withstand her sharp questioning and finally muttered, "The boss should probably be contacting back next week."

Xiao Xu also reluctantly informed her, "Sister-in-law, it’s hard to be sure with missions, it might be delayed by a day or two, just so you know, but rest assured, the Boss will take good care of himself."

Yang PeiMin knew the approximate situation now, nodded, and headed back to her dormitory.

Back there, with nothing else to do, she cleaned up the house, and then out of boredom, listed out all the things Zhang Minghua had said, especially the methods she taught. Although she had decided not to use contraception for now, it still wasn’t sure if she would get pregnant, taking advice from someone experienced was still worth considering, she wrote them down to analyze scientifically.

Then Luo Dahua scared Yang PeiMin by knocking on her door suddenly, leaving her feeling somewhat guilty.
