Since she never met Guan Yan and her son again, Chu Xia temporarily put this matter behind her.
But after she returned home, she told Cen Huaian: "Qi Ming and his mother approached us with a purpose. Remember to be careful when you meet them in the future."
Cen Huaian was helping Chuxia arrange the roast duck that she bought today, and he hummed when he heard this.
He doesn't like Qi Ming and won't have much contact with him in the future.
Shi Qin did not tell anyone about her pregnancy, but she told others in the family compound about Chu Xia's medical skills and praised her skills.
Someone refuted her: "She is a fresh graduate with little experience, how can she be as skilled as an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner?"
Shi Qin argued with her loudly: "You haven't seen Chu Xia for treatment, so how do you know her medical skills are not as good as those of the old Chinese doctors? I said that only after I went to see her."
The people in the family compound stopped paying attention to Chuxia and immediately asked her why she wanted to see a doctor and what was wrong with her. Some of them cared about her but some were just gossiping.
Shi Qin didn't want to talk about her gynecological disease, but if you don't tell these people why you go to see a doctor, you don't know what disease they will say about you behind your back.
Anyway, she was almost three months pregnant, so Shi Qin said directly: "She knew I was pregnant just by taking my pulse, and she was very patient when she told me all the precautions. The results of my urine test were exactly the same as what she said."
"Are you pregnant?"
"How many months?"
“Is the reaction big?”
These people didn't have any illnesses that needed treatment, so they weren't interested in Chu Xia's medical skills and were more interested in Shi Qin's pregnancy.
Shi Qin knew that few people went to see Chu Xia for medical treatment, so she thought about promoting her in the family compound. Unexpectedly, she ended up being exhausted by the questions.
She finally found an excuse to leave the enthusiastic neighbors in the housing estate and ran to Chuxia's house to drink a glass of warm water.
"What's wrong? It feels like there's a wolf chasing you." Chu Xia looked at Shi Qin who was breathing slightly and poured her another glass of water.
Shi Qin sat on the sofa, exhaled heavily and said, "Those gossipy women in our family compound are scarier than wolves. I can't handle their questions."
Chu Xia sat next to her, drinking water and asked casually, "What did they ask you?"
Shi Qin told Chu Xia what she had just said to the neighbors in the family compound, and then sighed: "I just want to help you get more patients, why are they only concerned about my pregnancy?"
Chu Xia looked at her with a bit of a smile: "Thank you for your publicity. Because you are in front of them, and pregnancy is something that everyone is more interested in. They don't have any use for my medical skills for the time being, so they don't care. But your publicity should still be useful. Maybe one day they will think of me when they need medical treatment."
Shi Qin nodded, thinking that what Chu Xia said made sense.
"Can you help me check on the baby now?"
It has been a while since the last visit to the doctor, and Shi Qin's belly has not yet bulged. After the morning sickness ended, she felt nothing and always had a sense of unreality.
"OK."
Chuxia asked her to stretch out her hand and took her pulse.
Putting down her hand, Chu Xia looked at Shi Qin with a smile: "Don't worry, your baby is healthy, you are doing well."
Shi Qin let out a breath. This was her first pregnancy, and she was always afraid that she had done something wrong. She and Ye Xingxiu got married late, and the child came late, so they were both a little nervous.
