Chapter 126: A Wave of People Will Seek Her Out for Infertility Treatment

Zhang Shuwan didn’t dislike girls—in fact, she cherished Guoguo as if she were a precious jewel.

She could guarantee that even if she had a son, she would treat Guoguo just as well after he was born.

But Zhang Shuwan knew that, given her and Lin Xing’s situation, they desperately needed a son.

She didn’t want Guoguo to end up like she once did, always being targeted by so-called relatives—who were really wolves in sheep’s clothing—scheming to take everything from an orphaned family.

She’d been through that kind of hardship herself and never wanted Guoguo to experience it.

If Guoguo had a younger brother to back her up, things would be different.

Zhang Shuwan thought that once her son was born and old enough to understand, she would teach him to always protect his big sister.

Gu Jianing watched Zhang Shuwan cry, feeling deeply moved.

She understood Zhang Shuwan. Although in modern times, it was common for families to have only one daughter—daughters could be just as capable, and sometimes even bring a husband into the family and take charge themselves—that didn’t mean there weren’t still vile people with bad intentions.

Even today, there are plenty of people who covet the property of families with only daughters.

And in this era, such things were even more common.

So Gu Jianing understood Zhang Shuwan’s concerns. That was one reason she was willing to help her. Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Shuwan truly loved Guoguo. If she had favored sons over daughters, Gu Jianing wouldn’t have helped her at all.

After all, Guoguo was a wonderful child.

When Zhang Shuwan said she would teach her unborn son to protect Guoguo, Gu Jianing corrected her: “Actually, it’s two little brothers, not just one.”

“Yes, two little brothers, not just o—what?!” Zhang Shuwan suddenly looked up at Gu Jianing, eyes wide. “Jianing, you mean, I’m carrying…”

She pointed at her belly, momentarily speechless.

Gu Jianing smiled and confirmed, “That’s right, Shuwan, you’re carrying twin boys, and both are healthy. Looks like Captain Lin will have to work extra hard to earn money to raise them!”

Zhang Shuwan covered her mouth in shock. She never doubted Gu Jianing’s words, but she never expected that when sons finally came, there would be two at once.

This was truly a huge surprise.

Both Zhang Shuwan and Jiang Baihe were endlessly grateful to Gu Jianing.

Their pregnancies—especially Jiang Baihe’s—caused quite a stir in the family compound.

Zhang Shuwan had only arrived at the Northwest Military District at the end of last year, so people didn’t know her well, but they knew all about Jiang Baihe.

Jiang Baihe and Commander Chai had been married for four years without a child. There had even been whispers from Jiang Baihe’s mother-in-law that she was infertile.

Now that Jiang Baihe was pregnant, everyone was naturally curious about how it happened.

Jiang Baihe was straightforward—she admitted she’d had health problems that prevented her from conceiving, but Gu Jianing had treated her, allowing her to finally become a mother.

Jiang Baihe thought that if Gu Jianing passed the medical training exam, she’d be working at the military hospital soon. So she took this opportunity to spread the word about Gu Jianing’s skills as a way to repay her.

Zhang Shuwan did the same, especially since she was carrying twins.

Previously, Gu Jianing had become famous in the Northwest Military District for her beauty and as Sheng Zexi’s wife. Before that, she’d made a name for herself by saving Captain Cui’s leg in surgery. Now, she was famous for helping Jiang Baihe and Zhang Shuwan get pregnant.

Pregnancy!

In this era, for women, getting pregnant and having children was extremely important—it could even determine their status in their husband’s family and their relationship with their husbands.

There were plenty of women who had five, six, seven, or eight children, but there were also many who simply couldn’t conceive.

Even today, with advanced technology and medicine, infertility is still a problem for many.

So when those who’d been unable to get pregnant heard that Gu Jianing had this ability, they immediately became interested.

They also knew that Gu Jianing had attended the medical training organized by the military district and was now in the exam phase. If she passed, she’d soon be working at the military hospital.

They planned to register for her appointments as soon as she started working there.

At this moment, Gu Jianing was on her way to check her exam results, completely unaware that once she started at the military hospital, a huge wave of people would seek her out for infertility treatment.

If she knew, she’d probably have mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she’d be happy—more patients meant more successful treatments, which meant more points and rewards.

On the other hand, she was naturally lazy and preferred to take things easy, not to be so busy all the time.

Soon, Gu Jianing arrived at the results board and, as expected, found her name. She then found her instructor and received her medical license.

Holding the license in her hand, Gu Jianing was delighted. With this, she was finally a legitimate doctor.

No matter the era, a certificate is always important.

“Jianing, don’t go yet—I want to discuss some questions about female fallopian tube blockages with you.”

Peng Wenjing walked in to see this scene: Gu Jianing surrounded by the instructors, discussing medical questions, with Gu Jianing clearly at the center.

Peng Wenjing had also attended the medical training.

At first, she’d hoped to outshine Gu Jianing, who came from the countryside. But to her surprise, Gu Jianing not only aced every assessment but sometimes even the teachers would consult her.

At that point, Peng Wenjing gave up competing and no longer saw Gu Jianing as a rival.

Gu Jianing was simply too good.

If she’d only been a little better, Peng Wenjing might have kept competing. But Gu Jianing was so far ahead that any thought of outdoing her felt pointless and laughable.

Today, Peng Wenjing came to check the results after two months of diligent study.

As expected, she passed the exam and could now get her medical license and work at the military hospital.

When she saw the results posted outside, she immediately spotted Gu Jianing’s name and wasn’t surprised at all.

Seeing Gu Jianing surrounded by teachers now, she was even less surprised.

As for Sheng Zexi, Peng Wenjing had long since let go. She’d also heard many stories about how considerate Sheng Zexi was toward Gu Jianing. Now, she felt no jealousy—only admiration."
