"Keep it down. My ears are perfectly fine!" Doctor Zhong's eardrum almost broke from Second Xu's loud scream.
"Hehe, my bad. Here, here." Second Xu suddenly became impatient. "Dearest, quick! Sit down! Let the doctor take a look."
Of the three Xu brothers, the wives of the Eldest and Youngest Xu were both pregnant. If his wife wasn't, he would be left out.
Doctor Zhong narrowed his eyes as he placed a hand on Li's wrist while the other gently touched his long, white beard.
Doctor Zhong lifted his hand and told the Xu family his findings. "This pulse… I'm not too sure. It feels like a good one, but maybe it's still too early. I can't confirm anything as of now. We'll have to wait."
"How many days would that be?" Second Xu was terribly impatient.
Doctor Zhong looked at him and said, "Young man, you can't rush these things. Haste would make waste. It all comes down to destiny. If you're bound to have children, they will come no matter what."
"Oh…" Although Second Xu didn't say much, it was obvious he wasn't happy with what he was told.
However, there wasn't much he could do.
With this incident, the good news of the Xu family expanding suddenly took a sour turn. Zhou had to comfort Li, who didn't get a precise answer, as Zhou was worried that she would be unhappy.
As for Eldest Xu, he sent Doctor Zhong back to town.
The roads on the way back were now much better than before, but he had the obligation to make sure that Doctor Zhong returned to his place in one piece.
As for the youngest Xu couple, they returned back to their room.
Both of them were still extremely happy, despite the fact that Doctor Zhong hadn't confirmed if they were expecting twins. They were already over the moon.
"Darling, we have to tell my family that I'm pregnant!"
"Right, let me go talk to mother," Youngest Xu replied.
He immediately stood up and headed to the central room in order to discuss this matter with his parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu, who were in the central room, were talking about the same issue.
According to tradition, once a woman was found to be pregnant, they would have to bring this piece of good news to the woman's family. At the same time, they would have to bring gifts as well.
The old couple was deciding on what to send.
"After some time, if our second daughter-in-law is also pregnant as well, what should we do?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but frown.
All four women in the family would then be pregnant. After giving birth, the entire house would be extremely noisy.
At the thought of Mrs. Xu's words, Mr. Xu couldn't help but shiver. He recalled the days where his sons were still young. It was like a battlefield.
Mr. Xu suddenly felt like it wasn't a good idea to expand the family at such a rapid rate. "Dearest, what should we do then?"
"Should we ask them to move out? If we don't stay together, it wouldn't be so noisy."
"NO WAY!" Mr. Xu immediately shook his head upon hearing his wife's suggestion. Then, he told her in a stern voice, "Their parents are still alive; they shouldn't move out. Why should they?"
"I was just asking!" Mrs. Xu knew that it wasn't right to go against his decision when she saw the serious look on his face
"Father, mother!"
Youngest Xu started knocking on the door at this very moment.
