The Peach Blossoms White by the Village Edge

Chapter 98: Good News

"Ah Yu, what's wrong?" Qu Qingjiang was startled and hurriedly put down the snacks to check on her.

Qu Jiayu had been dry heaving for a while without actually vomiting anything, and her stomach was still churning. After a while, she managed to calm the sensation down. She shook her head lightly, saying, "It's nothing. I've probably just been resting poorly lately. I came here from the city early this morning and haven't eaten anything yet, so my stomach is a bit upset."

Zheng Yang's wife hesitated to speak, and Qu Qingjiang noticed. She asked, "Zheng Aunt, is there something you want to tell us?"

Zheng Aunt said, "I'm not sure if I should say anything, but it's best to have a doctor take a look."

Qu Jiayu didn't like the suspense and said, "Why do we need a doctor? Just tell me clearly, or I'll be restless."

Zheng Aunt bit her lip and said, "It might be... good news."

Upon hearing this, both Qu Jiayu and Qu Qingjiang were stunned.

Good news? Does that mean she might be pregnant?

Zheng Aunt, seeing their lack of reaction, smiled and said, "Since neither of you has ever been pregnant, you might not know that in the first two or three months, it's common to have a reduced appetite and nausea. And most importantly, has your period come in these past two months?"

Qu Jiayu: "..."

Her expression was complex, mixed with a hint of confusion. "No, it hasn't come."

Qu Qingjiang quickly processed the information and, seeing that Qu Jiayu still looked dazed, said, "Let's go find a doctor. If it turns out to be good news, it's a joyful occasion. If not, it's better to check your health to see if there's any issue."

Qu Jiayu finally reacted, and just as she was about to show a happy smile, she suddenly thought of something else and withdrew her smile, saying anxiously to Qu Qingjiang, "Le Sister, if I am indeed pregnant, this is really not a good time."

The Hu family situation was still chaotic. Even if she were pregnant, no one in the Hu family would be happy about it. If a child is born into an unwelcome environment, it would be bad for both her and the child.

Qu Qingjiang understood her anxiety, and her smile faded slightly. "If you are indeed pregnant, do you want to keep the child?"

Qu Jiayu sighed lightly. "I don't know."

Not to mention the Hu family's situation, but with the unreliable nature of the child's father, how could she feel at ease having this child? If Hu Er could be more responsible and not always focused on leisure, taking care of family affairs and becoming a dependable man, she wouldn't be so uneasy.

However, she resolved that if she were truly pregnant, she would have to keep the child.

Qu Qingjiang said, "Then don't think too much for now. Your health comes first. If the Hu family's situation is too dire, you can return here to take care of yourself."

Qu Jiayu finally brightened up. "We're not even sure if it's true yet, and you're already thinking so far ahead."

"Your child is my nephew. I have to consider his future."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Someone's coming back!"

Their attention was immediately drawn to this announcement, and they looked to see who had returned so quickly.

As the sound of hooves grew closer, Qu Qingjiang realized it was Zhao Changxia. She was riding a brown steed, carrying a bow, holding the reins with one hand, and carrying a large gray rabbit with the other. The big yellow dog, which was supposed to be guarding the house, was excitedly following her and occasionally barking at the rabbit.
