Chapter 508: An Unexpected Encounter
Chapter 508: An Unexpected Encounter
Gao Jie turned to Zhou Cheng Lei and his wife, "Xia, you two can go back first. Come back in half a month, and if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come and find me or give me a call."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Gao. We'll be on our way then!"
Doctor Gao nodded and opened the office door, inviting the nurse and He Xiuhui in, "Please come in!"
Jiang Xia and Zhou Cheng Lei started walking towards the hospital exit.
He Xiuhui, seeing that Zhou Cheng Lei didn't greet her, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Doctor Gao into the office.
Her mother-in-law was there, and if Zhou Cheng Lei called out to her as 'Third Sister-in-Law,' she wouldn't know how to respond.
Her current in-laws didn't know she was a second-time bride, and her parents-in-law, fearing embarrassment, forbade her from telling anyone or contacting her daughter.
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia's departing figure before entering the office. She curiously asked, "Doctor Gao, was that woman just now carrying twins? Her belly is so big! I could tell at a glance that she's carrying sons."
Gao Jie didn't answer her directly, "It's a multiple pregnancy. Whether they are sons or daughters, we won't know until they are born."
She turned to He Xiuhui, "You can sit down, and I'll take your pulse first."
He Xiuhui sat down.
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law spoke up again, "Doctor Gao, I think my daughter-in-law is carrying twins, and both are sons. Was that woman just now the one you helped to conceive twins?"
Gao Jie had just placed her hand on He Xiuhui's wrist when she heard this, and her face darkened as she withdrew her hand, "I don't have that ability! If you want to conceive twins, you've come to the wrong person! I can't do it! Are you even listening?"
The nurse, seeing Gao Jie's anger, quickly spoke up, "Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about!"
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law was startled. She hadn't expected Gao Jie to have such a temper. She was just asking a question!
He Xiuhui hurriedly smiled, "Look, look! Just follow the method of that woman, and you'll be fine!"
She had married a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and now, not only did she want it to lay double-yolk eggs, but even a single-yolk egg would be good!
Gao Jie: "..."
Indeed, in a big forest, there are all sorts of birds.
Gao Jie added, "Look, you can. I must make this clear: that woman just now naturally conceived before coming to me for a prenatal checkup. I can only treat illnesses and perform prenatal checks. I don't have the ability to help someone conceive twins or ensure they have sons. If you want to conceive twins or sons, you can leave!"
With the current family planning policy, urban residents could only have one child. If word got out that she had helped someone conceive twins, and they were sons, what would happen? It seemed that from now on, she wouldn't see anyone who asked her to help their relatives.
"I understand. My daughter-in-law has been married for several years, and she hasn't even laid an egg. Please help me check her!"
Gao Jie sighed inwardly. If it weren't for her sympathy towards infertile women and their difficult lives, she really wouldn't want to help this elderly woman's daughter-in-law.
After taking He Xiuhui's pulse, Gao Jie furrowed her brows, "Have you experienced postpartum hemorrhage before?"
He Xiuhui and her mother-in-law's expressions changed simultaneously.
The nurse said, "No, my sister-in-law hasn't been pregnant before!"
Gao Jie: "..."
Not pregnant? But she had given birth, right?
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law quickly added, "No, she was pregnant once right after they got married, but she had a miscarriage after a fall. We couldn't keep the baby."
The nurse was surprised but didn't ask further.
He Xiuhui remained silent. At that time, her mother-in-law had been worried that the child wasn't theirs, fearing it was her ex-husband's, so they didn't keep it.
She hadn't dared to confirm whose child it was then.
Gao Jie continued, "How long ago was it? Or do you remember the specific date?"
...
After the consultation and understanding the situation, Gao Jie said, "Your body suffered from severe bleeding during the miscarriage, and it hasn't recovered well. I'll try to help you regulate it, but it might take some time."
"How long will it take?" He Xiuhui's mother-in-law asked impatiently.
"At least a year or two here, maybe even three. The first month will have more herbal medicine, and from the second month onwards, only two doses a week. Then continue for six months, and you'll also need to soak your feet in medicinal herbs, at least once a month... For the rest of the time, focus on dietary supplementation to make up for the nutrition. And when regulating your body, you must not overwork, get plenty of rest, and stay relaxed. Don't always be anxious and worried..."
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law: "..."
Is this quack doctor just trying to swindle money?
It will take two to three years to regulate her body, and by then, her daughter-in-law will be in her late thirties. Can she still get pregnant?
Finally, Doctor Gao Jie asked, "Should I prescribe some medicine?"
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law hesitated for a moment. "Prescribe it! Let's see the effects after two days."
Doctor Gao Jie said, "Two days may not show much effect. Herbal medicine takes time to work. We can try a seven-day course."
The nurse, who had managed to get Doctor Gao's assistance, chimed in, "Auntie, two days really won't show any effect."
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law felt a bit reluctant, "Then let's start with seven days."
Doctor Gao Jie directly prescribed seven days' worth of medicine.
Jiang Xia and Zhao Chenglei left the hospital. Jiang Xia stopped Zhao Chenglei, "I need to use the restroom."
Zhao Chenglei accompanied her to the restroom and waited outside.
Jiang Xia took a while in the restroom, and just as Zhao Chenglei was about to ask a nurse to check on her, she came out.
After coming out, Jiang Xia saw someone selling steamed buns outside the hospital and said, "I want to eat a steamed bun."
Zhao Chenglei glanced at her, "I'll go buy it. You go to the car first."
Jiang Xia said, "I won't go to the car. I'll wait here for you. If you don't want one, just buy one for me."
Zhao Chenglei took long strides and bought a steamed bun.
After buying the bun, as Jiang Xia pointed at a distant fruit stall, "I also want to eat some fruit."
Zhao Chenglei looked over and asked, "What fruit do you want to eat?"
"Sugarcane, peeled," Jiang Xia replied.
Zhao Chenglei went to buy it.
After waiting for about ten minutes, he finally returned with a peeled sugarcane. Jiang Xia took it, bit into it, and found it very sweet. She offered some to Zhao Chenglei.
Zhao Chenglei also took a bite.
Then Jiang Xia spat out the pulp into the oil paper bag that had held the steamed bun earlier and said, "Suddenly, I feel like eating soda crackers and sunflower seeds. Can you buy some for me to eat in the car?"
"Sure," Zhao Chenglei replied and went to the nearby convenience store.
While Zhao Chenglei was buying the crackers and sunflower seeds, Jiang Xia finally waited for He Xiuhui to come out.
He Xiuhui was holding several packets of medicine.
Her mother-in-law, He Po Po, grumbled with a dark face, "I don't know if this is a scam or not. Seven days' worth of medicine is almost five yuan! And it takes two to three years to regulate the body!"
With such expensive medicine, they might as well find a younger daughter-in-law, and the betrothal gift money wouldn't need to be so much!
The nurse said, "It's not that expensive. Besides the medicine, there's also the herbal foot soak. And it's not for a whole year. As long as it's effective, it's good. Doctor Gao is a skilled doctor. After taking the medicine, you must continue to come for more medicine and follow her instructions. You'll definitely get pregnant!"
He Xiuhui's mother-in-law remained silent.
He Xiuhui said, "Thank you, cousin."
The nurse added, "You're welcome. If you want to get pregnant, remember to come back for more medicine after seven days. Listen to Doctor Gao's instructions, regulate your body, and you'll definitely get pregnant."
After hearing their conversation, Jiang Xia realized that He Xiuhui wasn't in a hurry to take Zhou Zhou away.
However, since Doctor Gao had said that regulating her body would help her get pregnant, Jiang Xia hoped that He Xiuhui would get her wish.
He Xiuhui saw that Jiang Xia was still there and hurriedly lowered her head and left.
Although Zhao Chenglei's daughter-in-law probably didn't know her.
