Chapter 141: They Are Twins

The older doctor walked over, picked up the stethoscope again, and after a moment, smiled, "Don't worry, this is just our intern being inexperienced; your twins are very healthy in the mother's womb."

"Twins?"

Jiang Cheng's brows immediately furrowed tightly.

Si Rong, however, was very surprised; Jiang Nainai really wasn't just blowing hot air—her intuition was actually that accurate!

She stroked her belly, "Doctor, am I really carrying twins?"

"Absolutely certain."

The doctor glanced at their ages; although the pregnant woman was beautiful, the traces of time were still visible.

And it was a first pregnancy, so this child must have been hard-won.

She gave Si Rong some precautions, such as not getting too emotionally agitated, and mentioned some foods to avoid.

"By the way, when we do the ultrasound in a moment, shall I check the sex of the fetuses for you?"

"Big sister, thank you for your kindness, but we'd rather not know the sex of the fetuses for now; let's keep it as a surprise."

Si Rong hoped to reveal the secret when she met the children in a few months' time.

"That works too."

Coming out of the ultrasound room, Jiang Cheng had Si Rong sit on a wooden chair outside to rest, then went to find the gynecologist from earlier himself.

"Hello, I'd like to ask, regarding the twins in my wife's belly, can we just keep one?"

Doctor:...

Having been in the profession for many years, she had seen many bizarre men, but the one before her could be counted as a major oddity.

"Comrade, twins are such a great blessing, how wonderful! Does your family have some kind of difficulty?"

Looking at the man's temperament and clothing, he didn't look like someone who couldn't afford to raise children.

"It's not that, I just only want one."

His Nainai really was a crow-mouthed woman.

At this moment, far away in the village, Jiang Nainai sneezed for no apparent reason.

She thought to herself that perhaps her youngest son was missing her; the woman who looked at fortunes in the back mountain had already given her a gender-switching charm, and she had to find an opportunity to go to Huaiyang in the next two days.

If only her eldest son would break his leg too.

That way, the eldest daughter-in-law would surely send her back to the youngest son's house just like the second daughter-in-law did.

A broken leg could heal, but if this pregnancy wasn't "switched" early, she wouldn't be at ease.

Jiang Cheng's words made the doctor's brain crash again.

She was very puzzled, "Are you thinking of giving one of them away?"

"No, I'm worried that when my wife gives birth, she will have a difficult labor."

Since he was small, Jiang Cheng had heard his Nainai talk about that relative who died in childbirth while having twins.

Whenever she encountered a pregnant woman, Jiang Nainai would bring it up once.

The doctor finally understood, "You really know how to cherish your wife, but the fetuses have already formed; as long as the pregnant woman maintains appropriate exercise and comes to the hospital for delivery ahead of time, there generally won't be any accidents."

Generally.

This word made Jiang Cheng feel uneasy; he prepared to start strictly urging his wife to exercise from today on.

Si Rong's hobby used to be dancing, but she hadn't danced since becoming pregnant.

From the time they returned from the hospital, Jiang Cheng would take his wife for a walk every day after work.

After learning the news that Si Rong was carrying twins, Mother Si was both happy and worried.

She put on her reading glasses overnight to read about pregnancy and childbirth knowledge, calling her daughter from time to time to remind her of precautions.

Every day, besides eating and sleeping, Si Rong just walked and rested.

It was a bit boring.

This day, watching Wang Ma busy back and forth alone, she recalled her previous thought.

Wang Ma was getting on in years; she shouldn't let her do this work anymore.

Si Rong told Ming Zi, asking her to help find another servant.

Primarily responsible for the household chores.

Wang Ma wouldn't have it, "Madam, do you think I'm too old?"

"Of course not, Wang Ma. In a few months, the children will be born, and I won't be at ease letting others look after them; I'll need you for that," Si Rong said immediately.

"Then let's wait until you give birth to find one!"

Wang Ma felt embarrassed to take a salary without working, and the Si Family treated her very well.

Her own sons and daughters weren't exactly highly successful, but with the help of the Si Family, they were all living quite well now.

She felt grateful in her heart, and naturally, she knew the Si Family treated her well not for any other reason, but simply because she took good care of the young lady.

"If we wait until then, and the new person's cooking isn't up to par, or they can't do other things well, you won't have time to teach them."

Si Rong understood Wang Ma very well, just as Wang Ma understood her.

"Fine, then let's find one."

She would definitely train the new servant to be as observant and capable as she was, and most importantly, they had to listen to the Madam.

Servants were easier to find than Zhu Yun.

Ming Zi said she had already had people staking out the address that Sun Qiang had previously investigated.

She first brought a female servant in her thirties to Si Rong.

She was very young and had a fair complexion.

When looking for a servant, one should look for someone older; Si Rong was influenced by her mother to some extent.

An older woman would be more steady.

It is not to say that young women are restless, but in short, the probability of being restless is higher than that of older ones.

"How old are you this year?" Si Rong asked.

The woman looked very nervous, "I, I am thirty-five years old this year."

She lowered her head after speaking, looking very timid.

Si Rong hesitated a little, and the woman added, "Comrade, I really need this job; I just got divorced and have nowhere to go."

Behind her, Wang Ma silently shook her head at Si Rong.

Although she was very pitiful, Si Rong still trusted Wang Ma's experience in selecting servants.

Before the young woman left, Si Rong gave her thirty yuan.

The woman refused to take it, but she also could not understand why Si Rong would not keep her.

She repeated once more that she was very capable and so on.

Si Rong did not soften her heart; after the woman left, she told Ming Zi her thoughts, "It is still better to have someone over forty. Besides, the woman's eyes kept darting around when she was talking just now, and I don't really like that."

It felt restless.

"What? Are you worried that a young girl coming to the house will seduce Jiang Cheng?"

"Besides you, could your Jiang Cheng possibly have eyes for any other woman?"

"It is not just because of that," Si Rong lay on the rattan chair and took a sip of plain water, "In short, I don't like people who might cause trouble."

"Alright then, I will find you another one when there is a suitable one."

However, before Ming Zi could find one, Jiang Cheng's mother had already found one for her.

It was said to be Wu Shen's younger sister, steady and capable, and she was already fifty-one this year.

The person was at the Jiang Family, so they were asked to go and take a look.

Si Rong and Jiang Cheng took Wang Ma and drove there, not expecting that Nainai would be back again.

"What? Did my uncle break his leg too?" Jiang Cheng was merciless with his words.

Nainai:...

Day after day, she truly regretted not strangling this grandson when he was small.

Thinking of the talisman paper in her bag, she even felt some regret for wanting to worry about him.

However, since she was his Nainai, she naturally could not lower herself to his level.

Wu Shen's sister looked very much like Wu Shen; she showed a smile before speaking to anyone, did not talk much, but was very diligent.

And like Wu Shen, she had a knack for cooking.

Si Rong decided on her immediately.

It was just mealtime, and the two sisters, Wu Shen and her sister, had prepared a table of good food; Si Rong had just sat down for a while when Nainai called her over again.

Si Rong thought Nainai was going to give her money again, so she hurriedly declined, "Nainai, I don't want money anymore, I really don't."

Nainai:...

"Nainai poured a bowl of tea for you with her own hands; in our hometown, if a pregnant person drinks tea poured by a long-lived elder, the child will be healthy and safe for their whole life, so drink it quickly!"
