Zhang Shuwan didn't dislike girls; she loved Guo Guo dearly.
She could guarantee that even after her son was born, she would still treat Guo Guo just as well.
But Zhang Shuwan knew that she and Lin Xing's situation desperately needed a son.
She didn't want Guo Guo, like her in the past, to always be targeted by those who claimed to be relatives but were actually wolves in sheep's clothing, scheming to extinguish their family line.
She had experienced that hardship and didn't want Guo Guo to go through it.
If Guo Guo had a younger brother to support her, this situation wouldn't have happened.
Zhang Shuwan thought that after her son was born and grew up, she would teach him to protect his older sister.
Gu Jia Ning, watching Zhang Shuwan cry, felt very emotional.
She understood Zhang Shuwan. Although in modern times, some families only having one daughter was common, and capable daughters could bring in a son-in-law and manage the household.
However, a family's own acceptance doesn't mean there aren't those with impure motives.
In modern times, there were many people who schemed to extinguish a family line.
And now, in this era, this phenomenon is even more common.
So, she understood Zhang Shuwan's thoughts, and this was one of the reasons she helped Zhang Shuwan. Of course, the biggest reason was that Zhang Shuwan loved Guo Guo very much. If Zhang Shuwan had favored sons over daughters, Gu Jia Ning would not have helped her.
After all, Guo Guo was a very good child.
Hearing Zhang Shuwan say she would teach her son in her belly to protect Guo Guo, Gu Jia Ning said, "It's two younger brothers, not one, oh."
"Right, two younger brothers, not one...what!" Zhang Shuwan suddenly looked up at Gu Jia Ning, her eyes wide. "Jia Ning, you, you mean, my belly is...?"
Zhang Shuwan pointed at her belly, speechless for a moment.
Gu Jia Ning smiled and gave her a confirming answer again, "That's right, Sister Shuwan, you have two boys in your belly, and they are both healthy. It seems Battalion Commander Lin has to work hard, he needs to earn more money to raise the children."
Zhang Shuwan covered her mouth. She didn't doubt Gu Jia Ning's words. She never expected that if she had a son, she would have two.
This was truly a great surprise.
Zhang Shuwan and Jiang Baihe naturally expressed their gratitude to Gu Jia Ning.
Their pregnancies, especially Jiang Baihe's, caused a stir in the Family Compound.
Because Zhang Shuwan had just arrived in the Northwest Military Region at the end of last year, people weren't very curious about her, but they knew about Jiang Baihe.
Jiang Baihe and Regimental Commander Chai had been married for four years without having a child. Before, she had vaguely heard Jiang Baihe's mother-in-law say that she couldn't bear children.
Now that Jiang Baihe was pregnant, everyone was naturally curious about how it happened.
Jiang Baihe spoke frankly. She had indeed had some health problems that caused her infertility, and Gu Jia Ning had cured her, allowing her to become pregnant and become a mother.
Jiang Baihe thought that if Gu Jia Ning passed the medical training class assessment, she would be going to the Military Region Hospital to work.
So, she would take this opportunity to promote Ningning, as a way of repaying Gu Jia Ning.
Not only Jiang Baihe, but Zhang Shuwan did the same, especially since she was pregnant with twins.
Before, Gu Jia Ning was famous in the Northwest Military Region for her beauty and being Sheng Ze Xi's wife. A while ago, it was because she saved Battalion Commander Cui's leg through surgery. Now, it was because she helped Jiang Baihe and Zhang Shuwan conceive.
Pregnancy!
In this era, for women, pregnancy and childbirth were extremely important, even determining their status in their husband's family and their relationship with their husband.
In this era, many women had five, six, seven, or eight children, but many also couldn't conceive.
This wasn't just because of the backward medical technology and frequent hunger of the times; even in the technologically and medically advanced modern world, decades later, infertility still plagues many people.
So, when those who couldn't conceive heard that Gu Jia Ning had this ability, their minds immediately became active.
They also knew that Gu Jia Ning had previously participated in the medical training class organized by the military region and was now in the examination stage. If she passed, she would soon be able to work at the Military Region Hospital.
They thought that once Gu Jia Ning started working at the Military Region Hospital, they would go see her.
At this time, Gu Jia Ning, who was on her way to check the exam results, didn't know that after she entered the Military Region Hospital, a large wave of people would come to her to treat infertility.
If she knew, she would probably feel both happy and worried.
The joy would be that she would have more patients, and after successful treatment, she could get points and rewards.
The worry was that she had a rather laid-back personality; she preferred a relaxing life and didn't like being busy.
Soon, Gu Jia Ning arrived at the place where the exam results were posted. Sure enough, she saw her name on the list, then found the training class teacher and received her physician's license.
Holding the physician's license, Gu Jia Ning was delighted. With this, she was no longer practicing medicine illegally.
No matter when, a certificate is very important.
"Jia Ning, don't go yet. I want to discuss with you a problem concerning women's blocked fallopian tubes."
Peng Wenjing came in and saw this scene: Gu Jia Ning was surrounded by the training class teachers, discussing problems, with Gu Jia Ning clearly taking the lead.
Peng Wenjing had also participated in the medical training class.
At first, she had wanted to surpass Gu Jia Ning, who came from the countryside, but unexpectedly, Gu Jia Ning not only topped the assessments every time, but sometimes even the teachers had to ask her for advice.
That's when Peng Wenjing gave up, no longer regarding Gu Jia Ning as a competitor, and no longer having the intention to surpass her.
Because Gu Jia Ning was truly too strong.
If she were only slightly stronger, Peng Wenjing might still have had the competitive spirit.
But Gu Jia Ning was far, far stronger than her, making Peng Wenjing feel that her attempts to surpass her and compete were futile and laughable.
Today, Peng Wenjing came to see the results. She had studied very hard during the two-month training class.
This time, she unsurprisingly passed the assessment and would receive her physician's license to work at the Military Region Hospital.
When she looked at the posted results outside, Peng Wenjing had seen Gu Jia Ning's name at a glance, feeling a sense of inevitability.
Seeing Gu Jia Ning surrounded by teachers now was no surprise.
Peng Wenjing had long let go of her feelings for Sheng Ze Xi, and she had also heard many stories of Sheng Ze Xi's consideration for Gu Jia Ning. Now, she didn't have any jealousy towards Gu Jia Ning, only perhaps admiration.
