Gu Youyou spoke nonchalantly, "Water is the source of all things, the beginning of life. Drinking a sufficient amount of boiled water every day contributes to health and longevity. When catching a cold or suffering from a cough, it also has the effect of suppressing coughs and dissolving phlegm. We run a medical hall, not a teahouse, so naturally, we prioritize the patient’s health above all else. That’s why our medical hall doesn’t receive guests with tea, but with water. If you’re not accustomed to drinking this boiled water..." Gu Youyou paused, pointed in the direction of the front courtyard, and continued, "Turn left as you leave, there’s a teahouse!"
Qin Changlin and the elder of the Huang Family twitched the corners of their mouths simultaneously.
It’s just a glass of boiled water, right? She made such a big deal out of it! The brat is getting more and more articulate, huh.
And actually, she herself couldn’t stand that fancy-schmancy tea; plain boiled water quenched thirst just fine. It was Gu Youyou’s attitude that irked her, starting from that cold and curt demeanor on the main street. We came here sincerely to seek medical attention, not to face Gu Youyou’s scorn.
Gu Youyou scoffed. If they were sincerely seeking treatment, would they manage to disgrace Jisheng Hall in the streets?
"Forget the tea; I’m busy!" declared the elder Huang.
She couldn’t afford to lose her dignity and maintained her seniority proudly.
Gu Youyou, on the other hand, didn’t say much. You are indeed an elder, but if you behaved like one and didn’t argue nonsensically, I would respect you.
After all, she had always believed in the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
During the harvest season, every farming household was busy, and the elder Huang was indeed very busy.
So, she spoke frankly.
"I came here to ask for a doctor to visit our home. Assign a doctor to come with me," she demanded.
Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow, unable to figure out who among the Gu Family could be sick.
Her thoughts aligned with Qin Changlin’s—the two members of the Gu Family who were prone to illness due to age were either sitting here or it was Gu Feng.
Grandfather? He was the one Gu Youyou cared about the most!
"Who’s ill?" Gu Youyou couldn’t help but become anxious.
She didn’t act as rashly as Qin Changlin, but attempted to calmly inquire.
But the elder Huang broke into a smile and said, "It’s not an illness; it’s a happy affair!"
"A happy affair?" Gu Youyou was slightly surprised.
With a broad grin, the elder Huang proudly announced, "Indeed, a happy affair. Qianqian is pregnant."
Qianqian? Gu Youyou thought for a moment before remembering that Dabao’s newly married wife was named Lei Qianqian.
Well, Dabao’s wife was pregnant, which was certainly a happy event. But Dabao had only been married for a month—wasn’t that a bit too soon?
Of course, some people did show symptoms quickly, and having them after a month wasn’t unheard of.
"Has the doctor seen her?" Gu Youyou asked again.
"Not yet, I just came to ask," replied the elder Huang.
So, you rushed all the way here on the street to grab Doctor Qin for an early pregnancy check?
Gu Youyou’s mouth twitched. What, do you think the medical hall is run by your family?
And indeed, the elder Huang did seem to think that way.
Gu Youyou: "...How did you determine that Qianqian is pregnant?"
Seeing Gu Youyou’s skepticism, the elder Huang confidently declared, "My judgment can’t be wrong. I have given birth to eight kids myself; how could I not know whether she’s pregnant or not?"
Gu Youyou was speechless. What does this have to do with how many children you’ve given birth to?
Given that Dabao and Qianqian had only been married a month, it was possible for early pregnancy to occur, but she was more inclined to believe it was a mistake, as apart from a very small number of people, most begin to experience early pregnancy symptoms only after six weeks.
"What symptoms does Qianqian have?" Gu Youyou inquired patiently.
While Gu Youyou kept her patience, the elder Huang was not so good at holding hers.
