Chapter 613: I Call This Attacking on Two Fronts

Uncle Liangzi's wife chimed in at this moment: "Lamei, if Guizhi hadn't seen you were unwell and caught you, you might have been injured."

They had been assigned to cut corn stalks today; behind them were all the corn stubble, which were all slanted. If they weren't lucky and their faces happened to hit them, she didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Not just her, everyone else who heard this had a look of dread on their faces, especially Liu's mother, who shivered directly.

While examining her, the Physician asked questions. After quite a while, he said to the nurse beside him: "Draw blood for a test."

Hearing that blood needed to be drawn, Liu's mother said: "Physician, why do we need to draw blood?"

To be honest, she was somewhat frightened, thinking it must be some serious illness, after all, blood drawing was required: "Physician, tell me the truth. I can handle it; I don't want to be fooled blindly."

Before the Physician could speak, she continued: "Just tell me, is it serious? Can it be cured?"

Hearing this, the Physician suddenly laughed: "Where did you get such ideas? There's nothing seriously wrong with your body. It's probably just exhaustion from the autumn harvest. Nothing major."

Thinking of his own guess: "How long has it been since your monthly period?"

Liu's mother was stunned: "What?"

The Physician thought she hadn't understood: "I mean, how long has it been since your menses?"

Liu's mother's face immediately turned red, but she still pondered the Physician's question. Suddenly, she lifted her face, her voice trembling: "You, you mean, this, how could this be possible..."

She didn't finish speaking but raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Her little girl was already twelve; she had long given up hope, and besides, she was already of an advanced age. How could it be possible?

The Physician, however, laughed: "A few days ago, there was a forty-nine-year-old woman in Dongliu Village who got pregnant. How old are you? How could it be impossible? But we still need to confirm it."

At this moment, Liu Laoqi pulled an elderly Physician inside: "Physician Gong, this is my nephew's wife. Please check her pulse for us."

The old Physician said with a helpless expression: "Isn't Physician Guo already examining her? You still had to drag me over. You really are..."

Liu Laoqi narrowed his eyes: "I call this attacking on two fronts. Didn't you see how anxious my nephew has become?"

Physician Gong followed his gaze: "Sigh, why is it this nephew again?"

Liu Shanliang also remembered; when he was hospitalized before, Uncle Liu Qi had also dragged Physician Gong over to diagnose him: "Physician Gong, please do me a favor and check my wife. She fainted in the fields."

His heart was beating wildly now; he just wanted to confirm quickly whether what the previous Physician said was true.

It wasn't said that Traditional Chinese Medicine pulse-taking could detect pregnancy.

The Physician who had examined her earlier wasn't angry; he simply stepped aside: "Physician Gong, please check the patient's pulse. I also want to know if my judgment was correct."

Physician Gong laughed: "You all. Fine, fine, fine. I will check her pulse right now."

Liu's mother cooperated and extended her arm, after all, she most wanted to know the result.

As soon as Physician Gong touched her pulse, Liu's mother covered her heart with her other hand; her heartbeat was truly too intense.

After checking for a while, Physician Gong said: "Come, extend your other hand; I will check it for you again."

Liu's mother quickly extended her hand: "Physician Gong, I..."

Seeing that Physician Gong had already taken the pulse of her other hand, she stopped speaking, fearing she might affect the Physician's judgment.

This time, it was quite fast; Physician Gong withdrew his hand after only a short while.
