Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Check-up
While Old Mo was thinking about how much gold he must dig out later, Wang Muxiao and Lu Cheng just arrived at the county town, riding the bullock cart.

When the bullock cart stopped, Lu Cheng helped his wife down and said, “Wife, be careful, watch your steps.”

After the two alighted from the cart, Lu Cheng handed two meat buns wrapped in oil paper to Zhang Ermu and said, “Brother Zhang, thank you for sending us here. You might have not yet eaten breakfast. My wife made this, please have a try.”

Zhang Ermu took the meat buns and said, “Brother Cheng, I will return to the village in three hours. If you want to go back with me, let’s meet here later.”

After hearing his words, Lu Cheng was grateful and readily agreed. His wife is pregnant and it is inconvenient to walk long distances.

“Then I’ll trouble Brother Zhang.” Lu Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Zhang Ermu smiled and said, “Brother Lu, we have known each other for so many years, there is no need to be so polite with me. I’ll see you later then.”

After Zhang Ermu said that, he went out to do his own business.

When the two were alone, Lu Cheng looked at his wife and said, “Wife, after the check up, we can go to the department store and have a look.”

Thinking about her plan, Wang Muxiao said, “Husband, I want to go to the post office later.”

Although Lu Cheng didn’t know what his wife wanted to do, he still nodded and said, “Okay. Let’s go to the hospital first.”

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the hospital and lined up to register. After another ten minutes, it was finally their turn. When the nurse saw them, she smiled and said, “Hello, Sister Wang. You look more beautiful than when you came last time.”

After hearing her words, Wang Muxiao smiled and said, “Aiya, no matter how beautiful I am, how can I compare with you? Look at your skin, it’s like a peeled boiled egg!”

The nurse listened to her praise with a smile, and said shyly, “Sister Wang, you are exaggerating. I only used some whitening cream. Although I told my husband not to spend money randomly, my husband still bought it.”

Wang Muxiao looked at her with a knowing look and said teasingly, “You girl, you are so blessed! You have a husband who loves you so much. No wonder you look so radiant.”

The nurse laughed at her words. While chatting, the nurse changed Wang Muxiao’s number into a priority number to prevent her from waiting too long. After registering, she handed her a document and said, “Sister Wang, this is your number and the last report. You can go see Doctor Dong now.”

Wang Muxiao took the document and placed a small package behind the counter. With the document as a shield, no one noticed her movements.

The nurse saw the package and said with a doubt, “Sister Wang, this…”

Wang Muxiao came close to her and whispered, “Sister, you have helped me many times. This is just a small gesture on my part.”

Before the nurse could refuse, she added, “Please don’t refuse, it’s just some fruit slices, not some expensive things. You can take it back for your children and husband to taste. I’ll bring more to you next time I come for a check up.”

After hearing her words, the nurse no longer refused and said, “Thank you, Sister Wang.”

After saying goodbye, Lu Cheng helped his wife go to the obstetrics department. When they arrived at the doctor’s office, they knocked on the door and heard a woman’s voice coming from inside, “Please come in.”

Seeing them entering the office, Doctor Dong smiled and said, “Comrades, please have a seat.”

Lu Cheng helped his wife sit down, then put the documents on the table and sat down beside her.

Seeing their interaction, Doctor Dong smiled and asked, “Comrade Wang, how are you feeling recently?”

Wang Muxiao rubbed her baby bump and said, “I was having a hard time sleeping during the night and there was a pain on my side.”

Doctor Dong nodded and wrote on the document, “Do you have any headache, dizziness, or cramps?”

Wang Muxiao thought for a while and said, “I do have leg cramps sometimes, but I don’t have headaches or dizziness.”

“How is your appetite?” Doctor Dong asked again.

This time, before Wang Muxiao could answer, Lu Cheng said, “Doctor, my wife has a big appetite. Just yesterday, she ate two bowls of rice and drank two bowls of chicken soup. She also ate a lot of fruit between meals.”

After saying that, he glanced at his wife’s belly, which was the size equivalent to a woman about to give birth, and asked, “Doctor, look at my wife’s belly. Do you think we need to reduce her food?”

Although Wang Muxiao wanted to bite her husband and felt embarrassed because of his words, she was indeed worried about her unborn baby. When she got pregnant with Lu Wenfeng, her belly was still very small even though she was full term. But now, at only 21 weeks pregnant, her belly is almost as big as a full-term baby.

Noting their concerns, Doctor Dong said, “We have just received a new machine that uses ultrasound. Although it is only a prototype, it allows us to see how your unborn baby is doing inside your wife’s womb.”

Lu Cheng heard her words and asked, “Doctor Dong, will this affect my wife and my baby?”

Doctor Dong placed the document in front of Lu Cheng and said, “This examination is very safe, but the cost is quite high. You can read this information first. If you agree, you can sign this document.”

Although Lu Cheng has only been in school for a few years, he still knows some words. After the doctor’s explanation, he finally signed his name on the document.
