But Gu Jia Ning treated Qi Yuancheng instead of Qin Rou. Does that mean Qi Yuancheng is the one with the infertility problem?
Some bold people even went straight to ask.
Qin Rou and Qi Yuancheng were both present at the time.
Qin Rou hadn't had a chance to respond yet, but Qi Yuancheng answered first, directly admitting it was his problem.
He also frankly stated that he was indeed seeking Gu Jia Ning's medical treatment.
Qin Rou was stunned. The person asking had only asked casually, unexpectedly Qi Yuancheng admitted it directly.
Afterwards, Qin Rou asked him about it. Qi Yuancheng didn't think anything of it; instead, he felt relieved.
"Do you know that if you admit this, Aunt will spread it around?"
"I hope she does. I want everyone to know that not having children isn't your fault."
Qi Yuancheng's words instantly stunned Qin Rou, then her eyes reddened, and she hugged him.
"You must undergo treatment properly. I believe we will definitely have children."
"Mm."
Aunt did not disappoint Qi Yuancheng's expectations. Soon, everyone in the Family Compound knew that Qin Rou and Qi Yuancheng's inability to have children was indeed due to Battalion Commander Qi.
After the gossip, they became curious.
"Do you think Doctor Gu can really cure Battalion Commander Qi's condition and allow him and Qin Rou to have a child?"
"Whether she can cure him or not, we'll know once we see if Qin Rou gets pregnant. Won't we?"
"That's true. But I heard before that Baihe from Regimental Commander Chai's family, and Zhang Shuwan, both got pregnant because of Doctor Gu. Zhang Shuwan even had twins!"
"I think Doctor Gu has some real skill."
"If it's true, I have to quickly get my niece from my maiden family to see Doctor Gu."
"I also need to have my second brother's wife see Doctor Gu."
Thus, Gu Jia Ning welcomed another wave of infertility patients. After the rumor, the previously quiet Traditional Chinese Medicine Department became lively. Of course, most people came to see her, but the other doctors' patients also increased.
And if Qin Rou gets pregnant, the number of people seeking Gu Jia Ning's help to have children will likely increase even more.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis, something for the future.
Now, after Bai Lanhua left with Shuanzi, the Qi family has restored its peace, and Qi Yuancheng has resumed his treatment.
As long as the treatment is successful, Qin Rou's pregnancy shouldn't be far off.
Gu Jia Ning was busy working at the hospital but didn't forget to care about her hometown.
She also learned about the outcome of Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan.
Because the forbidden books were found in Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan's house, the two would bear the main responsibility.
And the two immediately started blaming each other.
Wen Zhuqing said that Bao Shan Yan had put the books there; he didn't know anything about it.
Bao Shan Yan, however, said the books were Wen Zhuqing's, not hers, and even wanted a divorce from Wen Zhuqing, not wanting to be implicated.
But neither of them could produce evidence.
Because neither could produce evidence, they both bore the blame.
And because of Liu Ruzhi and Du Juan's intervention,
what wasn't originally a serious crime was suddenly heavily punished.
"...Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan were paraded through the streets yesterday..." Gu Yunzhou said on the phone.
Except for the pregnant Yang Manman, all the Gu family members went to see them.
After all, they knew that if it weren't for Ningning's reminder, the Gu family would have been the unlucky ones this time.
Now, Wen Zhuqing's getting what he deserves.
They certainly wanted to see Wen Zhuqing's fate.
"Wen Zhuqing will also be sentenced to 10 years in prison."
10 years in prison...
After hearing this, Gu Jia Ning was relieved. At least for 10 years, she wouldn't have to worry about Wen Zhuqing causing trouble anymore.
Gu Jia Ning didn't dare to underestimate Wen Zhuqing.
She knew that this man was cunning, ruthless, and desperate.
Therefore, he absolutely couldn't be underestimated.
"Bao Shan Yan and her daughter were sent to a farm and won't be able to come back for 10 years..."
Logically, Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan's crimes were the same.
But Liu Ruzhi and Du Juan's anger was directed at Wen Zhuqing, and Bao Shan Yan was also pregnant.
Therefore, Bao Shan Yan didn't go to prison.
Bao Yingzi wasn't originally supposed to go.
Normally, this matter had nothing to do with her.
But Bao Yingzi only has Bao Shan Yan as a daughter, and the latter is pregnant; how could she be at ease?
So, she went with Bao Shan Yan.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jia Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Gu Jia Ning's life returned to calm. When she needed to work, she would go to work with her pregnant belly; when she didn't need to work, she would stay home reading medical books and taking care of her pregnancy.
Before, Gu Jia Ning didn't like reading.
Now, perhaps because she read more, she found that she increasingly enjoyed reading.
Whether it was medical books or other books.
She could always find answers to knowledge she didn't understand in books.
It also calmed her previously restless mind and personality, and her whole person became more settled.
Because her memory improved now, she could remember everything she read.
Gu Jia Ning really liked and enjoyed the feeling of her brain being full and filled with knowledge.
When Sheng Ze Xi gently pushed open the door, he saw the young woman leaning slightly against the kang, engrossed in reading, a thin quilt covering her slightly swollen belly.
As if hearing the sound, she looked up from her book, like a nimble little deer in the forest, seeing that it was him, she smiled brightly, "You're back."
"Mm, I'm back."
Sheng Ze Xi cooked noodles. While eating, he mentioned Tomb-Sweeping Day a month later.
"My mother passed away the day after Tomb-Sweeping Day..." Sheng Ze Xi said softly.
Because she was looking down, Gu Jia Ning couldn't see the emotions in his eyes, but she knew he missed his mother.
"When my mother was around, I had parents and a home. After she left, the home is gone too." Sheng Ze Xi's tone was filled with sadness.
This was a rare emotion Gu Jia Ning had seen in Sheng Ze Xi.
All along, he seemed to be resolute, brave, as if nothing could defeat him, always able to shelter Gu Jia Ning.
But now Gu Jia Ning knew that this man also had sadness and vulnerability.
She put down her chopsticks and went to hug him.
Sheng Ze Xi, sitting down, put his arms around Gu Jia Ning's waist and buried his face in her arms.
He remembered; he remembered that when his mother was still alive, his parents were affectionate, and their family was harmonious.
But later, after his mother's death, the family broke up, and everything changed.
"Will you have time off for Tomb-Sweeping Day? If so, let's go back to Beijing together and pay our respects."
"My mother-in-law should also meet my wife, and I should tell her the good news that we're having a child."
"
