Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The Child Is Not the Ancestor’s
Xia Xin sighed and said, “At this age, it definitely must be the Abbot who filled it in especially for you, our old ancestor. Let’s just use this as the standard from now on.”
Jiangli nodded, age didn’t matter to her—it was just a number.
But this card was quite interesting.
She hadn’t expected that modern people could replace household registration and travel documents with such a small card.
She had to admit, people nowadays were indeed quite clever.
“Old ancestor, I’m serious— you really need to be careful when you go out, especially when you encounter the police. You mustn’t say such things, or it’s very easy to get arrested,”
As Jiangli continued to stare at the identity card, Xia Xin sighed and began to admonish her earnestly.
Before he had finished speaking, a powerful and majestic voice suddenly rang out.
Xia Xin jumped, turned around quickly, and saw Song Taishan had come over at some point.
Seeing Song Taishan, Xia Xin tensed up, nearly forgetting to breathe. He quickly shielded Jiangli behind him and chuckled nervously, “Um, Captain Song, is there anything else we need to assist with? If there’s anything still unclear, just ask me, and I’ll answer you!”
“No, this is something I can only discuss with the Abbot,” said Song Taishan with a stern face, quite seriously.
Could it be another problem?
Xia Xin looked at Jiangli nervously.
But Jiangli remained calm and stepped out from behind Xia Xin. Looking at the beaming face of Song Taishan, she asked, “Is there some good news?”
Song Taishan smiled so wide he couldn’t close his mouth, clapping his hands, “Abbot, you are truly miraculous! My wife is indeed pregnant, we just went to the hospital today and found out! Abbot, I can’t thank you enough, I specifically came here just to thank you!”
Jiangli was puzzled, “Thank me for what? I didn’t get your wife pregnant.”
Xia Xin burst out laughing, nearly choking on his own saliva.
But on second thought…
That statement wasn’t wrong.
Song Taishan cleared his throat, “Indeed, but we owe it to the Abbot’s reminder.”
Jiangli looked at him and said directly, “Captain Song didn’t come just to express gratitude, did he?”
“Well…” Song Taishan laughed awkwardly, “The Abbot sees through it all. Actually, I wanted the Abbot to check if my wife’s pregnancy will be stable. She had a miscarriage before, hasn’t gotten pregnant for many years, and she’s also thirty-seven or thirty-eight now, an older expectant mother. I am afraid of any risks.”
Jiangli patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, your esteemed wife will safely give birth to a big, healthy boy. No problem.”
Song Taishan’s eyes widened dramatically, “A big healthy boy?!”
His wife had told him on the phone that the hospital found out she was only a month pregnant.
Even the hospital can’t determine the gender at this stage, right?
And Jiangli hadn’t even met his wife.
Jiangli smiled and said, “From Captain Song’s physiognomy and palmistry, you are indeed destined to have sons but no daughters in your life.”
At this, Song Taishan didn’t know whether to rejoice or worry, “I’ve actually been quite hoping for a daughter, just like my wife…”
Jiangli said, “Then I’m afraid I will disappoint you.”
“It’s not disappointing, having a child is good enough,” Song Taishan brightened up again.
Ever since the miscarriage, his wife had been gloomy, always keeping that child in her heart.
Now having a child, regardless of gender, would be a consolation for her.
“However, if Captain Song is still worried about the mother and child, you can buy a Fetal Protection Talisman from me. I assure you that nine months later, they will safely give birth to a child.”
