Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Triplets

Chapter 71 -71 Triplets

Seeing the old Chinese medicine doctor knitting his brows tightly, wearing a stern face, and silently taking her pulse diligently,

the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s hearts suddenly leapt into their throats.

Could there be something wrong?

The two women exchanged a glance, nervously swallowing saliva.

Mrs. Lu grabbed her daughter-in-law’s small hand that was resting on her leg, and asked cautiously, “Doctor He, how’s it going? There’s nothing wrong with my daughter-in-law’s health, right?”

“Hahaha… No problem, no problem.”

Doctor He stroked his beard and burst into laughter, leaving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law baffled.

Isn’t… What’s so funny about taking a pulse?

“Aiyo, Doctor He, don’t beat around the bush. You’re killing me with suspense.”

Mrs. Lu stomped her feet anxiously.

“Relax, the pulse indicates that both mother and child are fine.”

Doctor He paused in his speech, then continued with a beaming smile, “Based on your daughter-in-law’s pulse, it appears she’s carrying triplets.

Congratulations, congratulations, she really is a blessed person.”

The mother and daughter-in-law left the old Chinese doctor’s home still feeling somewhat dazed.

“Aiyo, my goodness, am I about to have three grandchildren at once?”

“Susu, slow down, be careful with your belly.”

“I was saying, when I was pregnant with the four of them, at six or seven months my belly was only this big.”

“Mom was worried that the children were getting too big, afraid…”

Listening to her mother-in-law’s endless chatter, Susu also gradually came back to her senses.

“We need to visit the old Chinese doctor every two weeks to take a pulse check, just to be sure.”

When the mother-and-daughter-in-law duo reached home, Susu leaned back on the warm kang bed.

Feeling the waves of warmth on her buttocks, she stopped Mrs. Lu, who was bustling in and out.

“Mom, don’t be busy, come up and warm up for a bit.”

“No need, no need, my heart is so warm right now, I don’t feel cold at all.”

Mrs. Lu brought in another teapot and placed it on the coal stove.

“Susu, is there anything particular you want to eat? I’ll go out and buy it.”

Susu, warmed by the hot kang, felt drowsy and yawned.

“Mom, whatever we have at home will do, I’m fine with anything.”

“Okay, okay, if you’re sleepy, lie down and sleep for a while. If you need anything, just call Mom.”

——

“His mom, daughter-in-law—”

“Shh— keep it down, Susu is asleep inside.”

Mrs. Lu saw her husband return and immediately sent him out again on his bike to buy more meat to freeze outside.

So that they could have meat any time they wanted.

Her daughter-in-law was carrying three babies, after all; they really needed to ensure she had proper nutrition.

Father Lu didn’t hear his spouse’s muttering, and without even removing his scarf, he went out again.

“Why is Old Lu going out again? Isn’t Huai Ze’s mother home?”

“She’s at home cooking. You know, the daughter-in-law has returned, so she asked me to buy some meat.”

“Aiyo, how nice it is to be your daughter-in-law, coming back to specially prepared goodies.”

“I won’t chat now; I need to hurry.”

…

That afternoon, Susu met the employee that Xiao Sun had found for her.

The girl, an 18-year-old who had just gotten married, was named Wang Li. Her parents’ home was from a nearby town. Her husband’s home was right next door to the Sun Family, and she had often helped the young and old of Sun Family.

Her home was also near the store, which was convenient for commuting.

“Great, once the store renovations are complete, you can start working officially. Just be patient for a few more days.”

“Okay, Sister Su.”

As soon as the person left, Mrs. Lu quickly added some hot water for Susu.

“It’s freezing cold; drink some more hot water.”

“Is Aunt Wang at home?”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked toward the window at the same time, and saw Aunt Wang coming in with a basket swinging from her arm.

“Come in, Aunt Wang, and warm yourself by the fire.”

Aunt Wang, all smiles, bent over and stretched out her hands toward the heat.

Susu hurriedly shifted things around at the head of the brick bed. “Aunt, come sit on the bed.”

“No need, no need.”

Aunt Wang quickly waved her hands, refusing to sit on the bed and instead perched herself on the edge.

“I just came in from outside and I’m all chilly. I wouldn’t want to catch a cold from you.

Not to mention, you’re pregnant and suffering would be the least of it.”

“Why did Aunt Wang think to come visit me today? Isn’t Wang Dong at home?”

“Ah, don’t even mention it.”

Seeing Aunt Wang’s annoyed wave, Mrs. Lu curiously asked, “What’s the matter?”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

“It’s our eldest son’s wife. She saw Dongzi buying things for his wife, now she’s complaining that Dongzi is making money and not contributing to the family.

In short, she’s saying he’s neglecting the family now that he has money and looking down on his poor elder brother and sister-in-law.”

Aunt Wang developed a headache whenever she talked about the eldest son’s wife. She had never liked her in the first place, but the eldest just had to fall for her and insisted on marrying her.

Now, she’s made the whole house restless.

“I thought I heard some noise earlier but didn’t pay attention. Was it your eldest son’s wife making a fuss?”

Aunt Wang pulled out a pair of insoles from her basket. “All that shouting gave me a headache, so here I am, seeking some peace and quiet at your place.”

“Ah, what’s the old saying? Marry a virtuous wife, a good daughter-in-law… can bring prosperity for three generations.”

“You have no idea, there’s not a single mother-in-law in our Family Court who isn’t envious of you, with your accomplished children and dutiful daughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Lu modestly waved her hand, “Not at all, not at all.”

“Let me tell you, just take Zhang Qiang’s family in our Family Court, theirs is like a real-life soap opera, with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law having small quarrels every three days and big fights every five.”

“Whenever anyone mentions their family, it’s always…”

…

After sending off Aunt Wang who had spilled all of her grievances, Susu saw her mother-in-law staring at her with eager eyes.

Thinking there was something on her face, she asked, “Mom, is there something on my face?”

“No, no, I was just thinking about what Aunt Wang said. I’m happy, happy to have such a good daughter-in-law like you.”

Mrs. Lu thought for a moment, and when she thought of the pretentious eldest daughter-in-law, she immediately shook her head.

Every family has its own set of problems!

Susu: “…”

—

“Auntie, grandma, we’re back~”

The voice arrived before they did, and before the two on the brick bed could react, a little bundle all bundled up and revealing only a pair of big, black, grape-like eyes rushed in.

Close behind was a tall man.

“Oy, I forgot you and the kid were coming back today.”

Mrs. Lu was about to get off the bed to lift the little one up.

“No need, grandma, I can do it.”

Xiao Yu stopped his grandma and was about to clamber up the side of the bed by himself.

Mrs. Lu watched her grandson struggling and with a big scoop of her hand, she pulled the little guy up by his bottom.

“Come on, come sit with Auntie,” Susu beckoned.

Xiao Yu shook his head, extending his little hands to warm himself by the coal stove.

“I’ll join Auntie after I’ve warmed up.”

The two, big and small, were in perfect unison warming themselves by the stove.

A few minutes later, both were sitting on either side of Susu.

Mrs. Lu, seeing her family of five together, smiled and teased, “Second son, I took your wife to see the old Chinese medicine practitioner, guess what?”

Lu Xiaoting frowned, “What happened? There’s nothing wrong with my wife, is there?”

Susu pursed her lips and tried to hide a smile, watching the man’s reaction.

“Ha, ha, ha… Doctor He said that Susu is expecting triplets, our family is going to have three more little ones all at once.”
