Chapter 150

Today is no exception. The last ones in line are Zhang Sheng and his wife. Zhang Sheng's wife and second sister-in-law were pregnant at the same time.

Both of them are five months pregnant now, but Zhong Ruyi feels that Sister Zhang's belly is much bigger than that of her second sister-in-law.

Because she often comes to buy things, she is quite familiar with the couple. However, because of her pregnancy, Mrs. Zhang rarely goes out. This is the first time Zhong Ruyi has seen her since she became pregnant.

She asked curiously, "Sister Zhang, why is your belly so much bigger than my second sister-in-law's five-month-old belly?"

Mrs. Zhang was also a little worried. She asked her husband to take the food box handed to her by Zhong Ruyi, and stood aside to talk to her, "I am a little worried too. I didn't feel it before, but people always say that my belly is big. I always suspect that I ate too much, so the baby is big."

"Have you seen a doctor?" Zhong Ruyi asked her.

She shook her head. "I went to see a doctor once when I was just two months old and didn't know anything about it. I didn't feel any discomfort so I didn't go to see a doctor."

Zhong Ruyi had a guess in her mind, but she was only a half-baked student of traditional Chinese medicine in her previous life, and professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Sister Zhang, please don't be shy about seeing a doctor. I heard from a relative of mine that her belly was very big when she was five months pregnant. She was very worried, but she didn't dare to see a doctor. Her husband was very worried and asked a doctor to come home to see his wife. Guess what happened?"

"What happened?" Mrs. Zhang's curiosity was aroused, and she looked at her with a gossipy look on her face.

"She's pregnant with twins! That's why her belly is so big. She loves to eat and sleep all day. Isn't it tiring to be pregnant with two? If you're tired, you need to rest more. Two babies absorb more nutrients, so doesn't that mean she has to eat more?"

Mrs. Zhang exclaimed, "Twins?"

Zhang Sheng, who was holding the food box obediently and waiting for his wife, was also shocked. He looked at his wife's belly and then at Zhong Ruyi who was speaking excitedly.

The couple went back in a daze, and Zhong Laoer, who had been eavesdropping, asked curiously, "Little sister, why didn't I know that one of our relatives gave birth to twins?"

Zhong Ruyi felt a little guilty, waved her hands and said, "I heard this from my mother a long time ago. They must be relatives from my mother's side. It's normal that you don't know."

"Oh, brother, I want to ask a carpenter to make ten new tables and chairs for me. Do you know a carpenter with good skills?"

Zhong Laoer's attention was immediately diverted, "Leave it to me."

At noon, Zhong Ruyi took the Jiang siblings out to buy some necessary things. When they arrived at the cloth shop, she asked a few people to go in, but Jiang Rong and his sister were unwilling to go in.

Jiang Rong looked embarrassed, "Ruyi, you have been very good to us, we don't want to let you spend any more money."

Zhong Ruyi raised her chin slightly, "I brought you here to buy clothes. Just think of this money as a loan from me. You can pay me back when you have money in the future."

"Come in first and buy what you need. Are you going to keep wearing this outfit?"

In the end, Jiang Rong was dragged in by her. After she went in, Jiang Yun followed in, and Jiang Qin came last.

"Look at this." Zhong Ruyi pointed at a light green dress and asked the waiter to bring it over for her to see.

The waiter handed the skirt to her attentively, "Miss, this is a new garment in our store. The embroiderer is new, but her craftsmanship is top-notch. Look at the stitching, it's no worse than other embroiderers."

Zhong Ruyi put the skirt on Jiang Rong. The color suited her very well, but Jiang Rong was thin, so the dress would probably make her look a little empty.

She took it and tried it on herself, and felt that it should fit her well. She thought that she hadn't bought clothes for a long time, and since Jiang Rong couldn't wear it, she would wear it.

When Jiang Rong heard that the dress would cost two taels of silver, her eyes widened. She pulled Zhong Ruyi aside and whispered, "Ruyi, why don't you buy some cloth and go back to make it? Two taels is too expensive."

Zhong Ruyi also wanted to do it herself, but unfortunately she didn't have the skills. She was not a native ancient girl with excellent needlework skills.

"I can! You buy the cloth and I will make it for you." Jiang Rong looked excited. Ready-made clothes were really too expensive. Two taels of silver could buy enough cloth for two sets of clothes.

Zundu and fake toot?

Zhong Ruyi looked doubtful, "Can you really do it?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Jiang Rong became even more excited, "I can do it. Both of my mothers taught me. If you don't believe me, ask Aqin and Xiaoyun."

Jiang Qin and Jiang Yun also nodded frantically. They were also frightened by the weight of the clothes.

Jiang Yun said timidly, "Sister Ruyi, I can make it too. You should buy the fabric. Ready-made clothes are really expensive."

"Okay then, let's buy some fabric and go back."

Zhong Ruyi turned around and asked the waiter for a light yellow, a dark blue and a pink, and asked for sixteen feet of cloth of each color, to make a set of inner and outer garments.

Both coarse cloth and fine linen were required. The coarse cloth was suitable for outer garments, and the fine linen was suitable for inner garments. The price was seven coins per foot.

She looked at the three people's feet again and saw that the shoes they were wearing had holes in them, and their toes were exposed. She asked for some cloth to make shoes, but the needlework shop still had some, so she didn't buy any.

All in all, when I went to pay the bill, it was less than five hundred coins.

When the Jiang siblings heard this number, they used to think it was expensive, but after being shocked by the two taels of silver for a set of ready-made clothes, they actually felt that it was not so bad and was an acceptable price.

After picking up the cloth, Zhong Ruyi led the three of them to the clinic. "Let's go in and take a look. You were beaten like that. I'm really worried that you might have some internal injuries or something."

Jiang Qin pursed his lips and followed her in.

When he entered, he saw Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang there. Zhong Ruyi was so excited that he took two steps forward and greeted them, "Mrs. Zhang, Brother Zhang, what a coincidence!"

When Mrs. Zhang turned around, she also had a look of surprise on her face. You could tell she was very happy, as if something great had happened.

Zhang Sheng couldn't stop smiling. After thanking the doctor repeatedly, he became even more excited when he heard Zhong Ruyi's voice, "Miss Zhong! I really want to thank you!"

Zhong Ruyi's eyes sparkled. "How is it? Are they twins?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hide her joy, with a blush on her face. She nodded gently, "Sister Zhong, I really don't know how to thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought of seeing a doctor."

The doctor sitting behind the table stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Madam, you really have to thank this girl. Twins are rare but also dangerous. If you wait until the birth to find out that it is twins, it is inevitable that something will go wrong."

Zhang Sheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, sister Zhong, why don't you come to our house for dinner tomorrow, and let our family thank you properly."

"No, no, no! It's nothing." Zhong Ruyi waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm glad my sister-in-law is okay. Now that you know you're carrying twins, you have to be more careful."

Zhang Sheng and his wife returned home with many thanks, and asked Zhong Ruyi to come to their house for dinner the next day, but she had no time and had to refuse.

A few days later, Zhang Sheng's mother came to the house with a few packets of snacks and a piece of cloth. Zhong Ruyi was not at home at the time, so Zhong's mother only accepted the snacks and asked her to take the cloth back.

"No, no, sister-in-law, take this cloth back. You can make small clothes for your baby when it is born."

The two of them refused for a while, and only when they saw that Mother Zhong was really unwilling to accept it did she go back.
