Chapter 161 - 161 Consultation
161 Consultation
Yue Jiaojiao lay on top of him weakly, her tone was lazy. “Did she say anything?”
“No, she was worried about you though.” Zhao Zhan patted her back gently and coaxed her in a low voice. “Do you want to eat something? She can stay with you. I still have to go to the village later. There are some things I haven’t finished.”
“Alright, you can go ahead with your work. I’ll go to Master Chen’s place with Li Miao today.
As Yue Jiaojiao spoke, she left Zhao Zhan’s embrace. After washing up, a few of them had breakfast together. She then urged Zhao Zhan to go and return early.
After he left the room, Yue Jiaojiao looked at Li Miao and asked, “Li Miao? Has your house been built?”
The houses of the two families were built side by side. The other one needed to be dried for a few days, and he would go to the other one when he had a break.
Li Miao’s face lit up at the mention of houses.
“Yes! It’s all thanks to you guys. Master Sun is really a capable man. He built two houses without wasting any time on either one.
“The build of the house is very simple. There are only two bedrooms in one central room. Two more rooms have been built on the east side of the fence. One is for the kitchen, and the other is for storage.
“Jiaojiao, you don’t know this, but even in my dreams, I’ve never dreamed of living in such a clean and spacious house.
“Dashan has to fix the fence after he’s done with his work. He’s just waiting for the fence to be completed and we’ll move in.
“I wake up smiling every day knowing we’ll move in soon.”
Ever since the separation, Li Miao’s vitality had visibly improved, and her face no longer looked as bitter as before.
Yue Jiaojiao was infected by the joy in her words and laughed along with her. “Then let’s go to Master Chen’s house first. I heard Zhao Zhan say that the furniture in our house has to be dried before going in. If it’s almost done, I’ll ask Master Chen to send our furniture over. Other than this, there’s something more important that I need you to come to check with me.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing to be nervous about.” Yue Jiaojiao consoled her softly. “It’s a good thing. I’ll take you to see a doctor. He’s very good.”
Although her sixth sense told her that Li Miao would be pregnant, it was still safer to find a doctor to help her in such a life-and-death situation.
Li Miao was a little hesitant. “I’ll think about it. How much does it cost to see a doctor?”
“Doctor Zhou is a very good person. It only takes a few copper coins to see him. Your body may be fine, but you never know what you need to look out for. You won’t spend a lot if you don’t need medicine. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Li Miao was moved by her words. She had been married for many years, but she had never had a child. It caused her heartache every day.
“Why not give it a try?”
Yue Jiaojiao nodded encouragingly.
The two of them first went to find Master Chen to confirm the time for the furniture to be delivered. Then, they turned to another street and went to the Medicinal Hall.
During this period of time, Yue Jiaojiao had already become familiar with the staff there.
When the medicine boy saw her, he quickly and enthusiastically said, “Madam Zhao, are you here to see Doctor Zhou? You might have to wait a while. There are a lot of people looking for Doctor Zhou today.”
“We’re not in a hurry. We can take a number and wait.”
Yue Jiaojiao handed over the copper coin and held the number plate in her hand. She then stood quietly in the front hall with Li Miao.
“Buddy! Get the medicine and give me five more doses as usual.”
The voice sounded familiar. Yue Jiaojiao turned her head and saw a familiar figure. It was Qian Conreng, the person who had rented the shop to them.
