Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 125 - 124: "A Boy, It’s a Boy, How Wonderful a Boy Is.
Li Shuyao’s misfortune didn’t stop there.
Afterward, on her way to the hospital, more incidents followed one after another.
Just after her arm was fractured, a flock of birds flew overhead, and several fresh bird droppings landed precisely on Li Shuyao, instantly making her smelly. Even her face was smeared with some, and a bit even got into her mouth.
This made Li Shuyao keep retching along the way.
Almost reaching the hospital, they encountered a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling and cursing at each other.
Because Li Shuyao kept retching to one side, the stretcher tilted, causing it to bump into the mother-in-law.
The old lady, being hit, fell backward directly onto Li Shuyao.
She happened to sit right on her fractured leg.
Instantly, two screams of "ah" echoed out.
One was from Li Shuyao, whose fractured leg was pressed, crying out in pain, and the other was the old lady who had been knocked down.
Seeing herself hit, the old lady exchanged a glance with her daughter-in-law and immediately came up with an idea.
"Oh my leg, my body hurts so much, oh oh, I can’t stand it anymore."
"Oh my God, mom, what happened to you, how did you get hit, no, compensation, we must get compensation."
"Yes, must get compensation."
So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law united against Li Shuyao, immediately stopping the fight and targeting her.
Even after Li Shuyao was taken to the hospital for treatment, the pair followed her inside.
The onlookers outside were talking among themselves.
"This girl got targeted by this mother-in-law duo; that’s really unlucky."
"Yeah, everyone knows the Qian family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are notoriously fierce and money-hungry in our military district. If they latch onto her, she won’t get away without losing a layer of skin."
...
Gu Jia Ning only found out about Li Shuyao’s misfortune later from Zhang Shu Wan.
By then, Li Shuyao had already left the Northwest Army.
"...She was extorted fifty yuan by that Qian family duo. I heard that yesterday when Li Shuyao was being carried onto the car, as luck would have it, she tilted to the side, and her mouth hit the car, causing it to bleed, and I heard she even lost a tooth." Zhang Shu Wan enthusiastically recounted Li Shuyao’s ordeal.
There’s no helping it, the news had already spread across the Northwest Military Region.
The soldiers, who had initially been interested in Li Shuyao, and their families had all given up on her.
"Do you know how those ladies talked about Li Shuyao?"
"Hmm?" Gu Jia Ning looked over.
"They said Li Shuyao looks like the unlucky type, the kind that if someone marries her, they would certainly be dragged down by her bad luck."
"Thus, those families who were initially interested in Li Shuyao for her background, looks, and her identity with the Art Troupe, all dismissed the idea of her as a potential daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Originally, when Li Shuyao first arrived at the Northwest Military Region, quite a few soldiers tried to get close to her, but when she left yesterday, not a single person came."
After hearing this, Gu Jia Ning was thoughtful.
She hadn’t expected that the unlucky aura she had pinned on Li Shuyao actually made her this unlucky.
Does this mean Li Shuyao is truly very, very bad!
Both Gu Jia Ning and Zhang Shu Wan could understand the concerns of those ladies. Although nowadays people advocate breaking superstitions and not engaging in the supernatural, these ideas are quite deeply rooted among the older generation.
However, as the Beijing City Art Troupe left, the discussions about Li Shuyao gradually faded.
Meanwhile, Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect Sheng Zexi’s mission to take so long.
By the time she finished her medical training course, he still hadn’t returned, and it had been over a month since he left.
Gu Jia Ning was more than two months pregnant by then.
While Zhang Shu Wan and Jiang Baihe were already over three months pregnant, and their bellies were starting to show.
The two of them fully trusted Gu Jia Ning’s medical skills, often coming over to have her check their pulse and ask about the health of themselves and their unborn children.
On this day, after Gu Jia Ning completed the final exam of her training course and returned home, the two came over one after the other.
"Sister Jia Ning, do you think I’m carrying a boy or a girl?" Jiang Baihe, after receiving the good news from Gu Jia Ning that her child was healthy, was overjoyed and wanted to know if she could tell the gender.
Gu Jia Ning tilted her head and looked at her, not answering directly but asking: "Does Sister Jiang prefer a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Baihe was taken aback, touching her belly, a trace of longing on her face, smiling softly, and said, "I like both boys and girls, as long as it’s my and Jian Country’s child, I’ll love it."
She was telling the truth. After four years, she and Chai Jian Country finally had a child, and no matter boy or girl, she would cherish it like a treasure.
"However, my husband prefers a girl, says having a girl who looks like me would be better. Recently, he even asked people to bring some expensive and bright fabric so I can make some little clothes for his daughter. I also think having a daughter is nice, you bloom first, and then bear fruit."
"Oh, I see." If Jiang Baihe had wholeheartedly wanted a boy and didn’t like girls, Gu Jia Ning probably wouldn’t have told her the result. But since they liked both, especially a girl more, Gu Jia Ning said, "Then I must congratulate Mr. Chai and Sister Jiang; it’s as they wished, it’s a lovely little girl."
"Really?" Jiang Baihe beamed with joy, "I’ll tell Jian Country later, he will surely be so happy."
"Looks like I need to start preparing things for my girl early."
"Jia Ning, Jia Ning, what about me? Am I having a son or a daughter?" After Jiang Baihe finished her question, Zhang Shu Wan quickly asked eagerly.
Clearly, the two of them were incredibly trusting of Gu Jia Ning’s medical skills. If she says it’s a girl, then it’s a girl; if it’s a boy, then it’s definitely a boy, leaving no room for doubt.
"A boy!" Gu Jia Ning knew that Zhang Shu Wan wanted a son to hold up the family name, so that people back in Lin Xing’s home couldn’t plot to take advantage of them.
Therefore, Gu Jia Ning didn’t keep her in suspense and told her directly.
In fact, since it had been two months, the system could scan not only the number of children the patient was carrying but also their gender and condition, checking if the development was good.
Zhang Shu Wan, upon hearing that she was carrying a boy, was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red.
"A boy, it’s a boy, a boy is good."
As she spoke, tears fell from Zhang Shu Wan’s eyes, feeling that all the grievances and hardships over the years had finally been released, the heavy weight on her heart finally lifted.
