Zhao Chuchu quickly used diagnosing Zhao Meilan as an excuse to leave the crowd and avoid socializing with a massive group of people.

Zhao Meilan told Zhao Chuchu, “My mother-in-law and the other family members really like you. That’s why they are so zealous to mingle with you. Normally, they seldom keep in touch with other people. I hope you don’t mind.”

“I don’t really mind. I am just uncomfortable when they are so enthusiastic.” In reality, Zhao Chuchu did not like the families of her former patients crowning her as their lifesaver.

She merely kept in touch with the Hu clan because she felt they were congenial.

As for the other patients, Zhao Chuchu considered her relationships with them to be that of a merchant and a customer. She would offer them her service as long as they paid her enough. There was no such thing as debts of gratitude.

Zhao Meilan said, “I will tell them not to be like this next time. Otherwise, you will not visit us again.”

Zhao Chuchu jokingly said, “If the food here is delicious, I will still come back.”

“Didn’t Brother-in-law come back with you?

“He is busy with his studies at the academy since hell be sitting for the examination next year. So, he didn’t come back.”

Zhao Meilan agreed. “Indeed. The same goes for mv husband. He plans to take the examination two years later, so he has been studying diligently now. He sleeps very late every night. Sigh.”

Zhao Chuchu teased, “You care a great deal for him, I see.” Zhao Meilan was thin-skinned. She blushed right away.

“Sister Chuchu!”

Zhao Chuchu said, “Isn’t it normal for a wife to care much for her husband? I also pity Xie Heng, but he only has himself to depend on when it comes to the examination. We can’t do much to help them.”

Zhao Meilan replied, “Indeed. The only thing I can do is cook more good food for Yiming. That i s right. Sister Chuchu, why didn’t you tell me you were returning? I could have also visited you in the village.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She said, “Initially, I didn’t plan to visit you so quickly. However, Grandma Chen claimed that as someone who had been pregnant before, she could tell that you were pregnant. So, I rushed over to verify her claim for myself.”

Zhao Meilan was speechless.

Her face became redder.

She mumbled, “We…we haven’t even consummated yet. How could I get pregnant?”

Zhao Chuchu comforted her, saying, “Don’t take it to heart. Grandma Chen has your best interests in mind. It’s normal for her to assume such a thing since you’re married, don’t you think? Moreover, Grandma Chen is not someone who will spread rumors.”

“Hmm, I know. However, why did Grandma Chen think that I was pregnant?” Zhao Meilan was less shy after Zhao Chuchu addressed the topic openly.

Zhao Chuchu explained, “She told me that last time you went to the village, you walked differently, and Yiming paid close attention to you.”

Zhao Meilan was stunned for a moment before she responded, “Grandma Chen was way too observant. Last time, I accidentally twisted my ankle, and my husband was worried about me. I am really not pregnant. My mom and mother-in-law told me I should not have sex with my husband before I turned

Otherwise, it’s not good for my body.”

Madam Zhou was a good mother-in-law. She was concerned about Zhao Meilan’s well-being.

“Meilan, do you want my advice?

“Hmm? Speak your mind.”

“Actually, it’s best to consummate your marriage after turning 18. Giving birth at 18 will be even better.”

After all, a 16 -year-old was still going through puberty.

“Alright. I will remember that,” answered Zhao Meilan in a soft voice. Her face was bright red again.

“Of course, this is just my suggestion,” added Zhao Chuchu. People of this era promoted the ideology of having children early. She saw no reason to force her thinking from her previous life onto anyone here.

Zhao Meilan argued, “You’re a physician. What you say is definitely true.”

“Come, give me your arm. I will check your pulse.”

Zhao Meilan did as she was told.

The diagnosis aligned with what Zhao Chuchu had concluded from her current observation. Zhao Meilan was healthy.

Zhao Chuchu announced, “Your body is healthy. In the future, you will have no problem giving birth to a chubby little boy or a pretty little girl.”

“Sister Chuchu, you are teasing me again.”

“I’m not. I’m telling you the truth. How are your parents doing? Are they well?” “They’re doing great. They moved to town to sell tofu. My mom said the sales are good. They are earning more now than when they were farming.”

Zhao Chuchu said, “I remember you told me before that your parents had stopped selling tofu because they couldn’t keep up with the workload.”

Zhao Meilan explained, “My dad said we need more money to raise the young, so he is willing to work hard. My mom raised no objections, so they started selling tofu again..”
