“Why does this child overthink so much?” Shen Chi understood what was going on now, and once Shen Yinian had left, he complained to Lin Xiaoguai.
“He’s a smart boy; he naturally thinks more than other kids his age.
Didn’t you also consider giving up on the child at one point?” Lin Xiaoguai glanced at him and spoke indifferently.
Knowing he was the target of displaced anger, Shen Chi touched his nose and fell silent.
After all, if his elder sister hadn’t repeatedly assured him that Wanwan had a high likelihood of safely giving birth, he indeed had thought about letting Wanwan terminate the pregnancy.
After all, children can be born again, but there’s only one Wanwan.
Lin Xiaoguai knew that her temper was sowhat unjustifiable and sheepishly changed the subject, “Why did you co back so early today?”
“The team below is going out for a training drill tomorrow, so I gave them half a day off, and naturally, I got so ti off as a superior.” Shen Chi reached out to adjust the blanket on her legs.
Then he asked, “Is Little Niangao okay?
Do you need to talk to him?”
“There’s no need,” Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, “You know how stubborn your son can get.
It’ll be fine once I’ve had the baby.”
Shen Chi nodded in understanding, looked at her belly that was beginning to show, and said, “How are you feeling now?
Do you want to go to the hospital for another ultrasound?”
“We better not.
Although my sister-in-law said that it doesn’t affect the fetus, it’s still better to avoid it if possible.
Anyway, I’m feeling quite good.” Although Lin Xiaoguai said this, she couldn’t help but recall reports she’d read in her previous life, which suggested that ultrasounds aren’t completely without effect on pregnant won and that it’s advisable not to have more than three ultrasounds during pregnancy if possible.
Shen Chi thought about it and then nodded, “I’ll listen to you.
But grandma wants to find an experienced midwife to check the position of the baby.
My sister-in-law says that with multiples, nine out of ten would require a cesarean, but if at all possible, a natural birth would be better for both you and the baby.”
“It’s too early now; let’s wait another two months,” Lin Xiaoguai agreed with Shen Chi’s thoughts but felt it was too premature.
“It’s not too early; grandma said that checking the baby’s position early gives us ti to adjust if necessary, and it’ll be too late if we wait.”
Lin Xiaoguai thought it made sense, so she said, “Then you arrange it.
But can we find a midwife in the Capital?”
“We can look in the countryside.
If necessary, we’ll pay more to bring soone here.” Shen Chi had already planned for this.
Afterward, Shen Chi secretly visited the countryside every day in search of a midwife, while Lin Xiaoguai received a visit from Zhu Huixi.
She first inquired about Lin Xiaoguai’s health and soon shifted to another topic.
“You have no idea who I bumped into on the street.” She spoke with a wistful expression.
“Who?
Surely not Xiao Li,” Lin Xiaoguai said uninterestedly.
“I wish I had run into Xiao Li, but she’s in J Province.” Zhu Huixi was sowhat saddened when speaking of Yang Xiaoli, but her spirits lifted quickly when she recalled the person she had just encountered.
“I saw Lu Rong!”
“Lu Rong?” Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback, then rembered that right across the street was Lu Rong’s biological father’s ho.
Since her marriage, she had never once run into her.
“Really.” Zhu Huixi thought she didn’t believe her and animatedly recounted, “I saw her right in your courtyard.
As soon as I entered the gate, I ran into her.
I almost didn’t recognize her.
She had heavy makeup on, perd hair, and was wearing a skirt despite the cold weather—she didn’t look like a decent woman.”
“The most unbelievable thing is that she didn’t swear at when she saw .
She didn’t glower or treat coldly; she just walked away as if she hadn’t seen .”
“What are you thinking?
Are you unhappy that she didn’t curse at you?” Lin Xiaoguai was sowhat speechless.
“I’m not unhappy, I’m just not used to it,” Zhu Huixi stuck out her tongue, “Back in the day, whenever she saw us, didn’t she always look down on us?”
“People change,” Lin Xiaoguai felt that Lu Rong’s temperant would inevitably lead to trouble, and after encountering many, she would naturally change over ti.
“She had a child with her; I don’t know if it’s her son or not,” Zhu Huixi sighed.
“It should be.
She’s been married for several years,” Lin Xiaoguai said flatly.
As Zhu Huixi was about to say sothing, a piercing scream ca from outside.
Despite the distance, it was quite frightening.
Walking out into the courtyard, they saw Shen Zhangming, Luo Yufang, and Shen Mincheng standing at the front gate looking out.
The two exchanged glances and walked over.
“Huang Xue i, I won’t let you bully my sister!
I won’t let you hurt my sister!
You tigress, you’re utterly heartless, you’re bound to et a bad end—one day, your son…”
