"What are they nagging you about?"
Yang Jinxiu fell silent for a mont upon hearing this. There was a hint of envy, as well as so vindication, in her eyes as they passed over Yang Chuxia’s stomach, which left Chuxia sowhat puzzled.
"Because of the child?" She did not miss the look in Jinxiu’s eyes.
"Yes!" Jinxiu said eagerly, "She keeps complaining at ho that I still don’t have a child, even calling a chicken that can’t lay eggs. You have no idea, her insults are so harsh every day. We’ve been married for less than a year, can you believe it? Does she really need a grandchild that badly? Not only that, she works together with the first branch of the family to gang up on . I must have had terrible luck in my past lives to marry into such a family."
"Just be content," Yang Chuxia thought back to Ms. Wang from earlier in the year, "You know about my mother, right? She started pestering about having children just a month after Brother An and I married. You’ve only started being badgered now after much longer, which is already quite good. Besides, a mother-in-law and one’s own mother can’t be compared."
"Ah?" Yang Jinxiu, hearing that Chuxia had also been pressured, couldn’t help feeling a sense of shared misfortune. However, thinking of Chuxia, who was nearly ready to give birth, she spoke with a touch of envy, "But we’re different, aren’t we? You’ll be giving birth in two months, and I heard from my mother it’s twins. How wonderful to have two at once, whereas I don’t even have a hint of a pregnancy."
She touched her own stomach, then suddenly changed her tone, "Actually, it’s better not having children right now. I don’t want to bear children for such a person, it’s too revolting."
When it ca to her own husband, Yang Jinxiu truly felt disdain. She had never t anyone like him; while she could barely tolerate laziness or gluttony, his daily dalliances with other won, acting all familiar and intimate, were simply disgusting.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to share these thoughts with Chuxia.
Chuxia, listening, could guess a bit of Jinxiu’s situation, but she did not feel it was her place to ask too much since it involved soone else’s private matters.
"You, just stop overthinking it," Chuxia saw that Jinxiu actually did want a child and had only spoken in anger before. She comforted her by saying, "If you want a child, you need to relax. Sotis the more stressed you are, the more pressure you feel, and the less likely you are to conceive. Don’t mind how much she nags, just let it go in one ear and out the other."
Jinxiu listened very earnestly to Chuxia’s words; she thought Chuxia was more literate and understood things better. However, lacking confidence in her own body, she couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaxia, do you think there’s sothing wrong with ?"
"Have you seen a doctor?"
"Not yet, actually, Xiaxia, the reason I ca today was to ask for your help." It was at this point that Jinxiu revealed her true purpose for the visit, "When Divine Doctor Mu cos again, could you ask him to check on ? You don’t know, but these days my mother-in-law is being instigated by the first branch of the family to always suspect there’s sothing wrong with . I was able to return to my parents’ ho yesterday only by claiming it was to seek Divine Doctor Mu’s help."
Hearing that she wanted Divine Doctor Mu to help with this problem stirred an odd feeling in Chuxia. Well, a divine doctor certainly knows a lot, and checking on this issue wouldn’t be hard. But having a man like Mu Shaoling help soone determine their fertility seed sowhat inappropriate.
"Jinxiu, Divine Doctor Mu has returned to the Capital City, and I don’t know when he will be back," Chuxia considered before speaking. "If you’re not in a hurry, I can ask him the next ti he cos. If it’s urgent, why don’t I recomnd you visit Mu’s Clinic in the county town? It’s a pharmacy opened by Divine Doctor Mu, and they have resident physicians there."
