The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 244: Overjoyed

No matter when, doctors always speak with caution, being quite meticulous. In short, they never say too much.

Actually, the doctor just mentioned signs of a possible miscarriage and suggested observing for two days. He didn’t say hospitalization was needed.

When Jiang Yan heard this, he acted as if facing a great adversary, insisted on hospitalization without question.

Wang Miaomiao wanted to oppose, but unfortunately, her opposition was in vain. Jiang Zhongyi hurried over, and along with the already apprehensive Jiang Yan, persuaded her to stay. Seeing their insistence, Wang Miaomiao could only resign herself and agree.

Being hospitalized is never as comfortable as being home. She knew her body well; after some pain, she might recover without major issues. As long as she rested well in the coming days, she felt she would be fine.

But since the family was worried, she had no choice but to compromise and decided to stay for two days to ease their concerns.

"Miao Miao, why are you hospitalized? Where exactly are you hurt..." Old Master Jiang pushed the door open, urgently inquiring.

"Dad..."

"Grandpa..."

"How did you get here?" All three in the room were surprised.

"Uncle, Brother Yan, Sister-in-law, I brought Grandpa Jiang over..."

Behind Old Master Jiang stood Huang Tianyu, the mischievous boy from their wedding, known for stirring up ideas to tease the groom.

It turned out that Old Master Jiang, often using a cane, planned to take a bus when Huang Tianyu happened to see him while driving by.

They lived in the same compound and had always shared a good relationship. Naturally, he wanted to help when he learned Jiang was heading to the hospital, immediately offering a ride and personally delivering him safely to Jiang’s family.

"Tianyu, we really appreciate your help," Jiang Zhongyi promptly expressed gratitude upon learning what had happened. With Grandpa Jiang being advanced in age, taking a bus could have led to some unforeseen troubles. If something happened, how distressing that would be...

"Indeed, big thanks to Tianyu today. Without him, who knows how long the journey would have taken... This young lad is impressive." Old Master Jiang praised him once more, then shifted his attention to Wang Miaomiao. Seeing her resting on the bed with a healthy look, he felt relieved, "Miao Miao, how are you? What do the doctors say? Is it serious?"

All these questions showed his genuine concern.

"Grandpa, don’t worry. I’m fine..." Wang Miaomiao sought to calm Old Master Jiang’s nerves before smiling, "The baby in my belly is also well..."

"As long as you’re okay..." At first, Old Master Jiang didn’t fully comprehend her word, but after a moment, he reacted with joy, "Miao Miao, are you pregnant? I’m going to be a great-grandfather!"

He was so delighted he spoke without thinking about his words—he already had several great-grandchildren, and if anyone took note of that, envy might arise...

However, because this was his favorite grandson’s child, his love naturally extended to them.

"Sister-in-law is pregnant? Congratulations to Brother Yan, and to you, Sister-in-law." Huang Tianyu also cheerfully congratulated them upon hearing the news.

"Thank you..." Wang Miaomiao replied with a smile. They didn’t mention the risk of miscarriage, agreeing amongst themselves to simply say that the doctors suggested two days of observation and that Jiang Yan preferred staying at the hospital for peace of mind.

Old Master Jiang accepted this explanation and didn’t ask further.

Since hospitalization was necessary, preparations had to be made. Jiang Yan instantly felt overwhelmed.

With his wife needing hospital care, he had to return home for items, and it was impractical to have Grandpa or Dad looking after her...

At this moment, he naturally thought of his mother but could only gnash his teeth in dislike, rejecting the thought of her further... he tossed this annoyance aside.

The Yue Family was too distant to provide care. After further contemplation, he realized he should seek help from Xiao Xue and Hui Lan.

"Grandpa, Dad, I’ll step out to make a phone call." Having settled Wang Miaomiao, reassured by her stable condition, Jiang Yan quickly went outside to attend to matters.

"I’ll be heading off too, Grandpa Jiang, Uncle, Sister-in-law, goodbye." Huang Tianyu took his leave as well.

Jiang Yan called the factory, with Jiang Huilan answering the phone. As soon as she learned of the situation, she promptly hung up, made arrangements at work, and headed directly to the hospital.

After leaving the ward and a trip to the restroom, Huang Tianyu coincidentally crossed paths with Jiang Yan, about to overhear Jiang Yan mentioning Jiang Huilan’s name, his eyes dimming momentarily, his lips curving into a smile as he seemed lost in thought.

"Brother Yan, are you asking Hui Lan to help take care of Sister-in-law?" Huang Tianyu casually inquired when Jiang Yan hung up.

They chatted while walking out together.

"Yes, there’s no woman at home, so I can only ask her for help." Jiang Yan unequivocally excluded Zheng Zhen from the family circle.

Huang Tianyu raised his eyebrows, evidently catching the subtle sarcasm in Jiang Yan’s tone. Being shrewd, he could guess some underlying truths but chose not to inquire further.

Every family has its challenges, and he wasn’t one to gossip. However, he was slightly concerned about one person’s whereabouts...

From Industrial Park C to here, only one bus route was available; he wondered if there was still time for him to go.

No matter how slim the chance, he intended to give it a shot.

Jiang Yan returned home, hastily packed some essentials, and hurried back to the hospital to stay with her.

"Seeing you two well brings joy to Grandpa." Old Master Jiang remarked, reflecting on the day that had been filled with suspense.

"Zhongyi, once we’re home, quickly finalize the divorce and move. With Miao Miao expecting, we can move into the courtyard house, keeping an eye out for her more frequently." As Old Master Jiang spoke, a smile spread across his face, "We’ll await the child’s birth, then join Ah Yan and Miao Miao, helping them care for the child."

In his mind appeared a particularly adorable little baby, smiling and calling him great-grandpa, filling his heart with immense joy.

"That sounds wonderful. I truly wish for that. Grandpa, Dad, I would be very grateful for your care and help with the child later on..." Wang Miaomiao mused briefly; she calculated the baby should arrive in January, perfectly timed with the end of college entrance exams, right before a new term began, without causing any interruptions.

Things seemed to align—in time to deliver the baby before Jiang Yan grew any older, as waiting for her college graduation would indeed be too late.

The family would have been eagerly waiting, it being a source of concern.

Now that she’s pregnant, she can juggle academic pursuits and a child, graduating just on schedule without any worry about parenthood deterring her studies.

"Wonderful... Wonderful... Haha..." Jiang Yan and Zhongyi burst into open laughter, as if all day’s worries evaporated with the baby’s imminent arrival.

Jiang Zhongyi was decisive, and once he made a resolution, he didn’t dawdle.

Back home, he began packing his belongings, and subsequently, they moved into the courtyard house that very day.

As for Zheng Zhen, upon returning home, she was nowhere to be found, not knowing where she was hiding—yet there’s no hiding forever.

Early next morning, he went to Jiang Peng’s house to find her. Without hesitation, took her to the civil affairs bureau and obtained the divorce certificate.

"We’ve vacated the house. Here are all the keys for you; henceforth... take care of yourself." Jiang Zhongyi shoved the pack of keys into her hand and smoothly turned away.
