Chapter 255: Twins
Too many people and not enough room?
Song Miqiu felt a little doubtful about what Qiu Tianlei said, but she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
She looked down and took off the money pouch from her waist, asking in confusion, "Do you need money? I imagine you must have needed quite a bit of money to buy a house."
Song Miqiu knew that they must be very tired from setting up stalls to sell things from dawn till dusk. If they used all their money to buy silver, they would be extremely exhausted if something happened later.
Qiu Tianlei was pleased for a moment when he saw Song Miqiu nod, but when he saw Song Miqiu taking out money and asking him if he wanted any, he quickly turned his head and refused.
"It's alright! We have enough money!" Qiu Tianlei scratched the back of his head shyly and said softly, "It's just that it might be a lot harder during this period, since Yumei is pregnant and can't be so tired. But I think that as long as Yumei gives birth to the baby, no matter how hard it is, I'll think it's all worth it!"
Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu took a long time to react. She blinked, her tone carrying a hint of disbelief.
"What did you say?" she asked excitedly, repeatedly confirming, "Yu Mei is pregnant?"
She then remembered that Qiu Tianlei had said earlier that there was not enough room for everyone. She had assumed that the couple felt they had made too much money and should move to a different house.
She didn't have much attachment to her home. Since she could find a more comfortable place to live, she decided to move. Besides, Song Miqiu could definitely tell that the place was a bit cramped.
But Song Miqiu never considered the possibility that Tian Yumei was pregnant.
She excitedly slapped her thigh, stood up abruptly, put her hand on Qiu Tianlei's arm, and patted it gently. "You'd better take your mother to Yumei's right away!"
“Mother, why did you go to Yumei…” Qiu Tianlei paused for a moment, his smile fading. He thought Song Miqiu went there to try and give Tian Yumei some money.
For him, Tian Yumei was easier to talk to.
Seeing Qiu Tianlei's expression, Song Miqiu knew he had misunderstood her. She rolled her eyes at Qiu Tianlei and said helplessly, "In your eyes, is that what your mother is like?"
Song Miqiu was somewhat dissatisfied.
Qiu Tianlei also saw through Song Miqiu's thoughts and quickly responded.
"No, it's just that I'm afraid you'll give Yu Mei some money. Yu Mei is easily influenced! Even if she feels it's wrong to take your money, she'll still accept it after you say a few words to her." He said anxiously.
Seeing Qiu Tianlei's anxious look, Song Miqiu laughed out loud. She was too lazy to tease Qiu Tianlei any longer and told him to quickly make way for her.
"Oh dear, your mother is going to take Yumei to get a good look at her. I think you haven't seen a doctor yet!"
The two arrived at the couple's room. Song Miqiu knocked on the door before pushing it open and going in. She smiled and looked at Tian Yumei, who was sitting on a wooden stool, writing in an account book with a brush. Amused, she strode over to her.
Song Miqiu tapped the wooden table lightly and immediately said, "Is it still valid? Hold out your hand to your mother."
Tian Yumei looked at Qiu Tianlei in confusion, but he gestured for her to obediently extend her wrist.
She stretched her wrist out in front of Song Miqiu, and as she watched the other woman place her fingers on her wrist, Tian Yumei knew that Song Miqiu wanted to take her pulse.
Realizing she hadn't had a chance to ask the doctor or Song Miqiu about her health, Tian Yumei looked at Song Miqiu with great anxiety.
"Mother, how is the baby in my belly?" Tian Yumei was very anxious.
I've been feeling unwell lately, but I haven't seen a doctor. If it weren't for the fact that the tests couldn't detect anything today, I wouldn't have known.
She has been busy packing things up and setting up a stall with Qiu Tianlei, afraid that she might tire her child out!
A hint of surprise flashed in Song Miqiu's eyes. She smiled and looked up at Tian Yumei, exclaiming excitedly, "Yumei, you're amazing! You're carrying twins!"
"You've given us two more babies!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yumei was shocked. Her pupils widened in disbelief at what Song Miqiu had said.
Her gaze shifted to Qiu Tianlei. Tian Yumei covered her mouth as she watched Qiu Tianlei walk around the wooden table. She happily hugged Qiu Tianlei's neck, "Tianlei! Did you hear that? Mother said I'm pregnant with your twins!"
"My Yumei not only brings me face in business, but she also brings honor to the family!" Qiu Tianlei's smile widened.
He is no longer worried about not having enough money to keep his child.
Just before, when he and Tian Yumei were making money from their stall and business was booming, they earned a lot of money and hid a lot of it.
Qiu Tianlei did the math and realized that they would have plenty of money left after buying the house, which would definitely be enough to support their child.
Tian Yumei suddenly heard something being put down on the wooden table. She turned around in confusion and saw Song Miqiu walking in carrying some things they had never seen before.
She blinked, looked at Song Miqiu with confusion, and asked softly, "Mother, what are these things of yours...?"
"These are nutritional supplements specially for pregnant women! Your body definitely needs good food, especially since you're pregnant, and carrying twins! You need to start eating good things right away!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yumei covered her mouth with emotion. These nutritional supplements looked excellent, and she never imagined that she could eat such high-quality nutritional supplements while pregnant.
Song Miqiu smiled and said to her, "You have to eat these things on time. Oh, and you can't tell anyone. After all, there aren't many of these good things. Just keep some for ourselves."
Tian Yumei nodded vigorously. Suddenly, a question occurred to her, and she frowned. "But how should we conduct business now?"
Previously, she and Qiu Tianlei had handled this business together, but now that she is pregnant, Qiu Tianlei certainly can't manage it all by himself.
"What's there to be afraid of? I can manage on my own!" Qiu Tianlei patted his chest with a smile, assuring the other person.
Seeing this, Tian Yumei subconsciously rolled her eyes and immediately complained, "You think you're so great? Who was it that was making such a mess of things before? If I hadn't come back, there would have been a long line of dissatisfied customers!"
Song Miqiu listened to their conversation from the side, her eyes narrowing with amusement. She thought about what Tian Yumei had said and wholeheartedly agreed.
Business is indeed a problem.
After thinking for a moment, she immediately came up with a solution: "We can hire people to help Tianlei, and you just need to stay home and take good care of your pregnancy."
"Is it expensive to buy people?" Tian Yumei asked. They needed money everywhere, and if buying people was expensive, Tian Yumei felt it would be better to do it herself.
