Chapter 174 Seriously?! I actually fell for it!
Qiao Anquan was completely unaware of what had happened in Lianchi Village.
Even if they knew, they would just smile faintly.
This time, if nothing unexpected happens, she will never go back to Lianchi Village again in her life; whatever happens there will be none of her concern.
The Huo family had no way of finding out where Qiao An had moved to, and Qiao An's adoptive parents knew even less.
Tian Yongfu instructed his family not to tell anyone, so Qiao An's whereabouts became a mystery.
By May, the weather had gotten hot, and the children started kicking off their blankets at night.
Qiao An took out an old-fashioned electric fan from her spatial storage.
This was something Mo Yuxuan specially found at a flea market.
With a fan, sleeping at night is much more comfortable.
In mid-May, Qiao An brought Feng Sanqiang and Xiao Lei to Guangyun City again.
I arrived at Sanhe Garment Factory at the agreed time.
This time, Dong Dahai came to pick him up personally.
In the past two months, their garment factory has earned more than 200,000 yuan just from the sample garment provided by Qiao An.
Moreover, the clothes were even sold in Hong Kong, where the shop owners praised him, saying that he had hired a great designer.
"Qiao An, what clothes did you bring this time?"
Dong Dahai arranged a dinner and used serving chopsticks to put a piece of roast meat on Qiao An's plate.
Just as Qiao An was about to eat, she suddenly smelled a meaty odor.
My stomach churned violently.
She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
She didn't eat breakfast this morning and vomited for a long time, only bringing up some sour fluid.
What's going on?
I feel nauseous looking at everything these days. I weighed myself on social media and found that I'd actually lost four or five pounds.
Is it because of the sweltering summer heat?
Back at the dinner table, Dong Dahai noticed that Qiao An looked a little pale and asked with concern, "Are you having trouble adjusting to the climate here?"
"Oh dear, it's so humid and stuffy here in the summer, it's really hard to bear."
Joan nodded. "It could be due to a change in environment."
"I know an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who is very skilled at treating patients. Let him take a look at you and help you get some treatment."
Without giving Qiao An a chance to refuse, after lunch, Dong Dahai drove them to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Qiao An rested her hands on the table as the old Chinese medicine doctor took her pulse with one hand and stroked his beard with the other.
"Uncle Qi, this is my honored guest, from Zhongchuan Province. Please take a good look at him. No matter how expensive the medicine is, I'll pay for it."
After a while, the old Chinese medicine doctor slowly opened his eyes and said, "You're pregnant and you still travel so far. Aren't you afraid of causing health problems?"
Joan froze for a moment, then stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.
"Wh...what?? What did you say?"
"Pregnant? How is that possible?"
Dong Dahai's heart skipped a beat.
Good guy!
Qiao An is pregnant. If something happens in Guangyun City, her parents, who are high-ranking officials in Zhongchuan Province, will come after her.
"Uncle Qi, is she alright? Is the baby okay? Should we prescribe some medication to help with the pregnancy?" Dong Dahai seemed even more anxious than Qiao An.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Her health is much better than the average person's, so she doesn't need any medication."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Qiao An.
"This isn't your first pregnancy, is it? You didn't even realize you were pregnant? How long has it been since your last period?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor's words brought Qiao An back to her senses.
The original owner had given birth to a child, and although their memories were all merged, she would still forget about it.
In addition, she was single until her death in her previous life, never having been in a relationship, and had no experience with this kind of thing.
"My periods are irregular, and it's common for them to be a month late."
The old Chinese medicine doctor had an "I see" look on his face. "No wonder. Judging by the dates, the baby should be over two months old."
"Your Qi and blood are vigorous, your pulse is smooth and strong, and there are pulsations at the cun, guan, and chi positions, with two overlapping smooth pulses."
"Comrade, based on my many years of experience treating patients, you're probably having twins."
Joan was completely dumbfounded this time.
Except for the first time, she made Huo Jiyun take protective measures every time after that.
I thought I was completely safe, but unfortunately I still got infected!
If it weren't for so many people around, Qiao An would have cursed.
Hearing this, Feng Sanqiang and Xiao Lei behind him almost jumped for joy.
Qiao An's first pregnancy resulted in twins, a boy and a girl, something many people envy.
Now she's pregnant with her second child, and it's twins again! It's amazing!
"Big sister, if brother-in-law knew, he would be overjoyed," Feng Sanqiang said with a smile.
It would be better if Huo Jiyun wasn't mentioned; as soon as he was brought up, Qiao An would get furious.
He enjoyed himself for a month, then packed his bags and left.
She gave birth to his child while heavily pregnant.
How unjust is Heaven!
The man is so healthy, strong, and has so much energy.
They're the ones who are suited to have children!
There's no use complaining now that things have come to this.
Joanne had no choice but to accept this fact.
As Qiao An stepped out of the TCM clinic, everyone treated her with extreme caution.
She seemed like a fragile porcelain vase.
"Don't be like that, it's not that serious. The doctor just said that I'm in good health and don't even need to take any medication to prevent miscarriage."
Despite saying that, Dong Dahai was scared.
He dared not let this little rascal have any accidents in Guangyun City.
After driving back to the Sanhe Garment Factory, Qiao An took out the sample garments from this time.
Two sample garments, both summer styles, were ready for Dong Dahai to make and sell immediately.
He was honest and asked the accountant to bring him the ledger.
Joan sat in her office and began to look at the accounts. More than an hour later, Joan opened the account book.
"no problem."
"But Brother Dahai, your ledger is a bit too long."
Joanne pointed to a spot, "Look here, the two columns can be merged, and we can add the outbound time and quantity after this, making it more convenient for you to check the accounts in the future."
Dong Dahai was also just starting out in business, and he was figuring things out as he went. He looked in the direction Qiao An was pointing.
That's really true.
"Qiao An, you can do accounting too?" Dong Dahai looked at Qiao An with newfound respect.
"I don't know, but I've seen a lot of things and can offer some suggestions."
Joanne was telling the truth. In her past life, she had to manage a huge shelter, so naturally she had to know a little bit about everything.
They quickly settled the accounts, and Dong Dahai brought Qiao An more than 25,000 yuan in cash, which he tied up and put in a zippered bag.
He handed the bag to Feng Sanqiang.
"Qiao An, Guangyun City isn't safe either; there are a lot of thieves."
"When you go out, you must first go to the savings bank to deposit your money," Dong Dahai earnestly instructed.
"Thank you, Brother Dahai. We'll go in a bit."
Qiao An subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. "My belly will probably be quite big in two months, and it won't be very convenient for me to come to Guangyun City."
"I will send you the sample garments. Just transfer the design fee and commission directly to me."
Dong Dahai was hoping she wouldn't come; he was even more afraid if she came to Guangyun City with a big belly.
"That's good. Come back after you've given birth and are fully recovered. I'll give you a big red envelope then."
Because of her pregnancy, Qiao An did not plan to stay in Guangyun City for long.
But this time, in addition to delivering sample garments and collecting money, Qiao An also wanted to purchase a batch of dried seafood and nourishing medicinal herbs unique to Guangyun City.
Of course, in addition to these agricultural products, Qiao An also wants Guangyun City's most distinctive small electronic products.
Dong Dahai had many connections, and in less than a day, he introduced Qiao An to several small business owners.
This will save Qiao An from wandering around aimlessly.
