Song Zhi nodded obediently. She could not even speak freely with these women, so why would they give her the chance to get close to Qiao Mei? It probably meant nothing to Qiao Mei to help her that day.
After half a month of hard work, the move was finally complete. Qiao Mei did not see anyone else even after so many days. Perhaps it was because she always woke up later than others, so their schedules were not in sync. She was also very curious about the people living in the apartment building, but there was no hurry. She would get a chance to meet them one day. nove/lb/1n
For some reason, Qiao Mei had been feeling more tired than usual recently. She never used to feel like that in the past. She even had backaches and was always feeling very sleepy.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhe asked cautiously.
"I want to go home and see the children. Now that everything has been tidied up, it's time to bring them over here," Qiao Mei said.
The two of them made the trip back to the capital overnight. When Qiao Mei reached home, she forced herself to stay awake and went to the children's room to take a look at them. Once she returned to her room, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow and only woke up in the afternoon. This was something unprecedented.
Qiao Mei sat in the courtyard in deep thought for a long time. Finally, she said to Xia Zhe, "I want to go to the hospital!"
"Go to the hospital? Why do you want to go to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Zhe asked nervously.
Qiao Mei had never been a delicate person. She had always endured all kinds of pain on her own. In addition, her "divine medicine" at home could cure all kinds of illnesses, so there was never any need for her to go to the hospital. If she felt that there was a need to go to the hospital, it could only mean that the problem was too big for her to solve!
"I... I'm sleepy and always hungry. My back is sore and I feel weak," Qiao Mei said.
Before Qiao Mei could even finish speaking, Xia Zhe immediately picked her up and ran towards the main door. He got into the car and drove straight to Xia Fang's hospital. Along the way, he was very nervous, scared of anything happening to Qiao Mei. She was in a daze the whole time and did not seem to know what was happening.
"Hey! Where are you going! Slow down!" Xia He said hurriedly.
During this period of time, Xia He had been staying at Qiao Mei's house to take care of the two babies. She had overheard the conversation between Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe just now and quickly ran to the backyard to look for Li Gui.
"Auntie! Qiao Mei is sick! Xia Zhe just picked her up and ran off! I couldn't even stop him!" Xia He said nervously.
"Sick? What kind of sickness?" Li Gui asked agitatedly.
"Qiao Mei says that she feels weak... and that she's always tired and her back is sore. I can't hear her too clearly but that's probably all. Before Qiao Mei could finish, Xia Zhe already carried her and ran off!" Xia He said as she recalled what happened.
Li Gui thought for a while and then smiled in a relaxed manner. She counted the days and realized that something had indeed happened to Qiao Mei.
"Auntie, what are you smiling at! What's wrong with Qiao Mei!" Xia He asked.
"Sigh, you... Qiao Mei is going to give Xia Fan and Xia Xing a younger brother or sister!" Li Gui said.
"What! How is that possible! Didn't she just give birth? How can it start again..." Xia He said in surprise.
"Think about it. It's been almost half a year since Qiao Mei gave birth. Given that Xia Zhe is back, it's normal for her to get pregnant," Li Gui explained.
Xia He still did not quite believe it. How could Qiao Mei get pregnant again so quickly? Some people took months or even years to get pregnant. She had never heard of anyone getting pregnant as quickly as Qiao Mei. However, it was something too unusual for Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe though. After all, Qiao Mei became pregnant after their first night together.
People always said that the more children one had, the more blessed one was. This meant that Qiao Mei's life was full of blessings! Qiao Mei was really the lucky star of the Xia family.
"What are you thinking about! You should also have a child soon! She's about to give birth to her third child, so you should put in more effort! Since you and Deng Fan are newly married, you should hurry up and have a child now. I'll help you take care of your child!" Li Gui said with a smile.
Xia He blushed. How could they discuss such things so openly? Li Gui did not even seem to feel embarrassed at all. She and Deng Fan did not have such plans yet!
In fact, Deng Fan was not young anymore and he really wanted to have a child with Xia He. However, he was wary of the fact that Xia He was also not young anymore and already at the so-called advanced pregnancy age. If anything should happen during the delivery process, he would regret it. He married Xia He because he loved her and not because he wanted to have a child with her.
The couple had planned to let nature take its course. If they were lucky, they would have a cute baby.
