Du i said, “Doctor, it really is different this ti.”

“Did you drink so potion this ti? Or did so barefooted doctor treat you?” asked the doctor helplessly.

The doctor’s voice was quite loud, and with the county not being very large, as well as the very unique illnesses Du i and Yang Hua had, many people in the hospital knew of them. When they saw them co again, they began murmuring in hushed tones.

A young nurse tugged at the head nurse and asked perplexedly “Sis, what’s the matter? If they want a checkup, why don’t we just do as they ask?”

“Heh heh, Jiang Ting, these two are famous. They have gotten three checkups in three months. The last ti was at the beginning of the month. But here they are again. The checkup isn’t a problem. The problem is...look at their clothes. It’s obvious they lead a hard life but they keep throwing money down the drain. It’s aningless. Dr. Sun only has their interests at heart...” The head nurse answered.

“Why are they so stubborn? Since they can’t have children, why don’t they think of sothing else?” The young nurse, Jiang Ting, asked curiously.

When the head nurse heard that, she was amused. “Sothing else? They have thought of a lot more than you. They have tried all sorts of superstitious tricks. They probably tried all sorts of ancestral recipes too. But every ti they tried sothing, they would have their hopes raised and co here to do a checkup.”

When she said that, the head nurse continued with a sigh, “Our countryn are still traditional. Out of the three unfilial actions, not having children is the worst. The two of them are actually quite sad...”

Jiang Ting nodded slightly and said, “Then what can they do?”

“What else can we do? If they insist on doing it, let them do it. But if I had any say in the matter, no matter what crazy thing they try, there will be nothing!” said the head nurse.

Jiang Ting asked, “But what if...”

“There’s no what if. If there’s a what if, I’ll eat the ultrasound machine,” Dr. Sun chid in before the head nurse could say a word.

Jiang Ting looked at the nurse as the head nursed tsked. “We’ll eat it together!”

Jiang Ting could not help but laugh as she said, “I really find it hard to imagine you and Dr. Sun eating the machine...”

“Enough, darn girl. Get back to work. Stop looking around.” The head nurse chased Jiang Ting away.

On the other side, Yang Hua had turned anxious as he exclaid, “Doctor, it’s really different this ti! Look, we bought a pregnancy test kit. And we hit the jackpot!”

“What?” Dr. Sun was surprised. He took the stick and looked at it carefully. Then, he took the package and gave it a careful look. He asked, “You bought this at so tiny pharmacy, didn’t you?”

“That’s right. How did you know?” Yang Hua asked.

Dr. Sun said with a scoff, “Based on my many years of experience, it’s fake!”

“Why?”

“If it’s real, there’s no way you could’ve hit the jackpot! To put it bluntly, this thing costs only two or three bucks. Our machine is worth nearly a million! Just from the price, you should know which one is more advanced, right? That’s why, if the machine says that it’s impossible for the two of you, it ans it’s impossible. Furthermore, you have had more than two checkups. Even if the first was a mistake, what about the second one? The third one? If such an impossible thing happens and proves this machine to be inaccurate, I’ll really smash it up and eat it! That’s why this pregnancy kit is likely fake,” said Dr. Sun.

“Dr. Sun, what are you talking about? What is this about smashing?” At that mont, an elderly man dressed in a white coat asked as he walked over.

Dr. Sun hurriedly said, “Hey, Director Zhao, you’ve co? It’s this...” Dr. Sun explained the situation.

When Director Zhao finished hearing the situation, he was amused as he said, “After three failures, a pregnancy test kit actually reads positive?”

“That’s right. Isn’t this clearly fake?” Dr. Sun said.

Director Zhao nodded and said to the couple, “Sir and Madam, I also suggest that the both of you not have the checkup. Of course, if you insist on the checkup, I will not stop you. Just as Dr. Sun said, if you are truly with child, proving that the machine isn’t working, I’ll take the lead in smashing it for us to have it for dinner.”

Yang Hua felt a little embarrassed as he said, “That thing can be eaten? Stop joking...”

Du i kicked Yang Hua and said to Director Zhao, “Director Zhao, to be honest, we lost all hope when we returned ho. But then we went to a Buddhist temple to pray for a child. After that, I had a feeling. Furthermore, my period didn’t co this month and, after testing, it seems we have hit the jackpot.”

Dr. Sun imdiately said, “A period can co late. This month isn’t over so what’s the rush? Furthermore, you don’t believe in science and actually believe in gods? If praying at a temple works, then what need is there for us doctors?”

Du i imdiately answered, “To help with the delivery!”

Dr. Sun was imdiately rendered speechless...

Director Zhao hurriedly said, “Alright, alright. Since you are so insistent, go ahead and do the checkup. If you truly are with child, I’ll pay the checkup fees. If there’s nothing, I would hope that you listen to our advice and have a look at the orphanage.”

“Sure!” Yang Hua and Du i smiled.

The duo followed Dr. Sun and did the checkup. In fact, the so-called checkup wasn’t that complicated. Although Yang Hua had gotten Du i to do an ultrasound every ti, Dr. Sun expressed that it was a waste of money. He had failed to advise against it the first two tis, so he was insistent to not let the couple do it a third ti.

“Even if you are with child, it hasn’t been a month. What’s the point of doing an ultrasound? You need at least forty days before the fetus can be seen through ultrasound. Doing it now is just a complete waste of money. Listen to , go buy a pregnancy kit. Bring your urine over and I’ll do the test.” Dr. Sun said.

The duo hurriedly went to buy one and after a stop at the bathroom, Du i brought the urine sample over.

Dr. Sun dripped the urine on the pregnancy kit in front of the couple...

“Two lines! Two lines! Two lines!” Yang Hua and Du i stared at the pregnancy kit and shouted.

Dr. Sun said in a completely speechless manner, “Do you think you guys are playing mahjong? What two lines? Why not call the devil?”

“Yeah! It’s really two lines! Doctor, look. Two lines! We hit the jackpot!” Yang Hua suddenly exclaid in delight.

Dr. Sun looked down and was given a fright. Indeed, the pregnancy kit clearly indicated two purplish-red lines. It was extrely clear.

Dr. Sun imdiately broke into a profuse sweat. He had spoken so much earlier, and now he received a rather painful smack to the face!

When Director Zhao saw this, he said, “Little Sun, contact the manufacturer and quickly send the machine back for repair! Are they trying to scam us?”

“Director, but the first two tis, they were...” Dr. Sun wanted to speak further but he swallowed his words when he received a glare from Director Zhao. As such, he left obediently.

Yang Hua and Du i were extrely loud. Their voices were heard by many people along the corridors. As the nurses gossiped, the news quickly proliferated.

When Jiang Ting heard, she found it incredulous. However, when she looked at the head nurse whose face was flashing black and red, she imdiately smiled and said, “Head Nurse, there’s going to be a sumptuous al tonight.”

The head nurse rolled her eyes and feigned hard-of-hearing. “What? I didn’t hear that. Oh, I have sothing on. I’ll be leaving first.”

With that, the head nurse ran away.

Jiang Ting was giggling and curiously leaned toward the door in order to hear the commotion within.
