Chapter 631 Getting Acquainted

Looking at Chen Qiuniang, whose eyes were filled with unbearable sorrow and fear, Tuva finally understood what Li's father had said that night.

Even couples who share a bed may not think the same way when faced with the same situation.

They sleep in the same bed but dream different dreams; this is truly how it is.

"Qiu Niang, why would you think that?"

If I didn't want you, why would I take medicine to spare you the pain of childbirth?

I've made up my mind to spend my life with you. According to your Han Chinese way of saying it, even after we die, we'll be buried in the same grave.

How could I not want you?

You gave birth to Lingzhi for me; you are the mother of my child. How could I abandon you?

"Then, you shouldn't take the medicine, okay?"

This time it was my fault, I was careless. Let's wait until Lingzhi is bigger before we have a child, okay?

Lingzhi is so lonely in this world. How wonderful it would be if we could give her more siblings to keep her company.

Tuva, Tuva, I do not wish that Lingzhi would end up like me, with no blood relatives left in this world after her parents passed away!

Tuva, shall we have children later?

I am not afraid of the pain of childbirth. I really want to have many, many children with you, to watch them call us "Ah-ye" and "Ah-mama", to watch them grow up, to watch them get married, and to watch our grandchildren run around everywhere.

Tuva?

As she spoke, Chen Qiuniang's tears flowed uncontrollably, as if a broken string had been cut. She held Tuva's large hands tightly and stared at him, who was completely stunned.

After a few moments of stunned silence, Tuva finally came to his senses. He pulled Shen Qiuniang into his arms and whispered tenderly in her ear, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"If you want many children, then we'll have many children, so that Lingzhi can have more blood relatives and not be alone in this world."

After Tuva finished speaking, he clearly felt Shen Qiuniang's tense body soften in his arms. Tuva held Shen Qiuniang's shoulders and looked into her eyes very solemnly, saying, "I have agreed to your promise, and you must agree to mine."

Confusion was evident in Shen Qiuniang's wet eyes. Tuva then looked at her and continued, "You've suffered a lot this time. Third Sister also said that you need to rest for at least a year to recover before you can have another baby."

Lingzhi is weak, and according to Third Sister, it needs to be carefully nurtured for three years to recover.

So, Qiu Niang, will you agree to this? Until Lingzhi is three years old, we'll only have Lingzhi as our child, okay?

"Once the Ganoderma lucidum has grown large and stood upright, we can talk about other things, shall we?"

After listening to Tuva's words, Chen Qiuniang's tears, which had already stopped, started flowing again.

Chen Qiuniang nodded, choking back tears, in response to Tuva's words. She leaned against Tuva, encircling herself in his arms, and said with a sob in her voice, "Tuva, you are so good to me."

Meeting you must have been a blessing from my past life.

Regardless, life goes on.

After Sister-in-law Li passed the critical period, Li San Niang's winter solstice holiday also ended, and she resumed her daily duty at the clinic.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the end of the year was just over a month away. At this time, not only in Chang'an, but throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, every household was preparing for the New Year, exchanging New Year's gifts, and getting ready to celebrate the New Year.

On her way home from work that day, Li San Niang looked out the car window and saw that all the shops on the street were decorated with colorful ribbons to celebrate the festival, and even the lanterns lit in the evening were extra.

When Li San Niang returned to the Li family, there were quite a few people sitting in the main hall. Just by looking at the women in the crowd, Li San Niang knew that they had probably come from various families to congratulate her on the birth of her son.

Sure enough, after Li San Niang entered the main hall and greeted everyone, she sat down and listened for a quarter of an hour. Everyone had come to congratulate the Li family on the birth of their son.

As for the fact that Li San Niang performed the first cesarean section of this era for Li Da Sao, apart from those close to the Li family, such as Doctor Liang, the Jiang family, and the Wu family, no one else knew about it.

Otherwise, Li San Niang would probably be too noisy to hear anything right now.

It was already dinnertime for everyone. After sitting with them for a quarter of an hour, the women, knowing the situation, got up and took their leave one by one.

Li San Niang naturally saw everyone off with her mother. After everyone had left, Li San Niang finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mother, why have you come at such an hour?"

Li's mother looked at Li San Niang with some helplessness, while Wu Qiaolan, who was standing to the side, chimed in, "San Niangzi, they all deliberately came to your door at this time, just so they could have a few words with you."

Li San Niang looked puzzled: "Just so you can talk to me?"

Huh? Why?

Li San Niang asked herself, "Does he/she need something from me?"

If it's about seeking medical treatment, then that makes sense.

As they walked into the courtyard, Li's mother smiled and replied to Li San Niang, "Well, it's not entirely about seeking medical treatment."

They've all heard about your reputation as a doctor, especially since you practice in Yongpingfang and have seen many couples who have been childless for years.

In addition, your sister-in-law gave birth to her sixth child after many years. Under such circumstances, they all have some expectations in their hearts.

Although I'm not in a rush to come to you for treatment, I want to get acquainted with you first, so we have some connection. Being polite to you will make sure you don't ignore me if I need medical help in the future.

Hearing what Li's mother said, Li San Niang found it quite amusing and burst out laughing. "Haha, Mother, I wondered what was going on."

So that's how it is. I feel sorry for them. They even waited for me to finish my shift and come home, which delayed their own dinner.

Haha, Mother helped me spread the word, saying that if I needed medical help, I could just come to Yongpingfang to find her.

There's really no need to make yourself a familiar face.

Once back in the main hall, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang helped Li's mother and Wu Qiao Lan pack up the gifts that had been delivered by each family.

As they tidied up, the group started chatting.

"With the year drawing to a close, I wonder how Tiger Head (Li Dalang) is doing outside? When will he be able to come back?"

Third Sister, shall we go to the Xing family's shop tomorrow and take a look?

I figured the winters here must be colder than here, so I'd have to buy some supplies and have a caravan deliver them to Tiger Head at the border.

I asked about it the other day, and they said this was the last time the caravans heading to the border would do so before the new year; the next one wouldn't be until spring.

Li San Niang naturally agreed without hesitation, and she felt that it had indeed been a while since she had taken Lu Zhu'er out, so this was a good opportunity to take Lu Zhu'er out for a stroll.
