The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

"Ugh, vomit, vomit..."

After being nagged by her mother for a while, Qiu Yan became a little irritable and then suddenly started gagging.

"This child, did you eat too much? Is your stomach upset?"

Madam Qiu was also helpless with her daughter: "You can eat one sour plum now and then, but you keep eating them. It makes my cheeks hurt from the sourness."

"It's not sour at all, it tastes pretty good."

"Even if it's delicious, there's a limit. Eating too much will upset your stomach."

The plums aren't sour?

Madam Qiu grabbed one and put it in her mouth; it was so sour that her eyebrows and nose scrunched up.

If it weren't for her good upbringing, Madam Qiu would have vomited it out directly.

"You silly child..." After finally swallowing it, he said, "How could you say it wasn't sour?"

She actually believed it!

Mrs. Qiu, who has never liked sour food, was tricked by her daughter today.

"It's not sour at all, it tastes pretty good."

Qiu Yan ate one after another without stopping.

Even the maid couldn't stand it anymore; the whole plate of plums was eaten up by the mistress.

However, after eating, he started vomiting again and ran to the bathroom where he vomited it all up.

"Someone, go and fetch Doctor Sun to take Yan'er's pulse."

Madam Qiu was worried because her daughter, who had been married for only two months, had vomited up after eating a plum.

Wait a minute, Madam Qiu suddenly thought of something: her daughter has been married for two months!

"Yan'er, when was the last time you changed your clothes?"

Qiu Yan paused for a moment, then forgot.

"How could you be so careless, child?"

It's always good to have a maidservant by your side... It's always better to have a caring maidservant.

After Qiu Yan got married, she married off several of the head maids who served her, and they would return to work as nannies after they got married and had children.

The people around me right now are all young girls, and they're all inexperienced.

"Madam, Miss hasn't changed her clothes for the past two months."

The maid Zi'er whispered, "I reminded Miss, but she didn't take it seriously."

"How could you be so careless, child?"

Madam Qiu grew anxious and sent her servants again to fetch Doctor Sun.

“Mother, there’s no need for that. Which doctor in the capital is as skilled as Nuannuan?” Qiuyan said nonchalantly, “Even if I have any illness, Nuannuan can cure me.”

"What kind of illness could it be?"

Madam Qiu quickly scolded her daughter for speaking recklessly: "You child, you don't care about your own affairs at all."

Qiu Yan tilted her head; what could possibly be wrong with her?
She can eat and sleep a lot... yes, she can sleep a lot.

Sometimes I feel so fortunate that my mother-in-law is so kind. She only says that I should pay my respects on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month, and I don't have to go on ordinary days. I can sleep as long as I want, and she keeps the small kitchen open for me.

It's no exaggeration to say that Qiuyan felt more comfortable after getting married than before.

If she doesn't get married while she's still at her parents' home, her mother will nag her from time to time, always worried that she won't be able to get married; sometimes her mother will also nag her about what she should do, telling her to do this or that.

However, at her husband's family home, they didn't care about her at all.

Her mother-in-law really spoiled her. As Nuannuan said, this mother-in-law is definitely one of the best mothers-in-law in the world.

"Can he eat and sleep well?"

"Yes, he can eat and sleep well. The only downside is that he always wants to go to the bathroom."

As they were talking, he got up and went to the washroom.

"Madam, Miss is pregnant," Granny Ma whispered to Madam Qiu. "Why didn't Granny Zhong mention this?"

"Look how lazy she is, it's already a struggle for Granny Zhong to manage her backyard."

Madam Qiu knows her daughter too well.

She didn't care about managing the household affairs at all. After marrying into the Zhao family, Madam Zhou handed over the management of the household affairs to her, and Qiu Yan then dumped everything on Granny Zhong, exhausting the old nanny...

Dr. Sun was soon invited in.

"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam! You are pregnant!"

What?
Qiu Yan stared at her mother, still confused.

This is?

"Thank you, Doctor Sun." Madam Qiu looked at her dumbfounded daughter and had no choice but to ask, "How is my daughter's pregnancy going?"

"Madam Zhao's pregnancy is very stable and she is in good health. She just needs to pay attention to her diet and avoid eating any forbidden foods."

"Do you need any medication to prevent miscarriage?"

"No need. All medicines have side effects. As it stands, Madam Zhao is in very good health and does not need to take any medicine."

"Thank you, Doctor. Granny Ma, please see Doctor Sun out."

“Yes, Madam.” Granny Ma quickly replied, “Doctor Sun, please.”

Dr. Sun left, and Qiu Yan was still in a daze.

"Mother……"

"You silly child, how can you be so confused?" Madam Qiu tapped her forehead. "How could I have given birth to such a silly girl like you?"

Other people's daughters are already old enough to have children who can run errands, while my own daughter is pregnant and I don't even know it.

"Someone is coming."

"Madam, please give your instructions."

“Go to the Zhao residence and tell the young master to come and pick him up in person.”

“Mother, is that really necessary?” Qiu Yan quickly said, “I can come by myself, why should he pick me up when I go back?”

"There are some things I need to tell my son-in-law. You shouldn't go to your parents' house so often anymore."

Qiu Yan was both amused and exasperated.

It's just getting pregnant, right?

Why can't I even go back to my parents' home whenever I want?

"You're carrying two babies now, so take good care of yourself and rest."

Qiu Yan thought about how Zhao Minglang had said he would take her on a spring outing to the suburbs during her day off.

Does that mean we can't go?
As expected, Zhao Minglang, like a mother, became anxious the moment he heard that she was pregnant. On the way back, he even told the coachman, Uncle Huang, to go slower and not to jostle her.

When Zhou heard that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Thank you so much for the Bodhisattva's blessing. Yan'er, just tell your mother what you want to eat. The small kitchen must always be simmering soup so you don't go hungry." Zhou said, "Granny Zhong, just tell me about anything that needs to be done in the household. Don't disturb Yan'er's rest."

“Minglang, you need to ask your father what you should be careful about.”

What Zhou really wanted to tell her son was that he couldn't be reckless and needed to be more restrained.

She was too embarrassed to say it out loud; it was something a mother couldn't talk about.

"Alright, your son will definitely listen to his father."

Qiu Yan felt that everything changed after she found out she was pregnant.

We're not allowed to walk so fast anymore, we're more particular about what we eat, and we don't even speak as loudly anymore.

Qiu Yan... she still eats and drinks even though she wasn't diagnosed, right?

Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?

When Chunnuan learned that Qiuyan was pregnant, she came to chat with her and tell her some things to be careful about.

"Nuan Nuan, is childbirth very painful?"

Spring is here... How is she supposed to respond to that?

The pain of childbirth varies from person to person. Some people have a high pain tolerance and don't experience much pain; others are more sensitive and find the pain unbearable.

"Nuan Nuan, you must help me give birth when I'm in labor."

"Alright, I'll deliver the baby myself." (End of Chapter)
