Chapter 1384 Why can't I have one?
Zhang Yurong reluctantly went to the kitchen, cursing inwardly, "How come Xiao Chuxue is so lucky? Not only did she have a happy marriage, but she also got pregnant with multiple babies at once. Heaven is really blind. Why can't it give me one?"
The more she thought about it, the more suffocated she became, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She gave birth to a daughter as her first child, and her husband's family didn't say anything. However, her own mother kept urging her to have another child, saying that only if she gave birth to a son would her husband focus all his attention on their own little family.
But things didn't go as planned. My daughter is already three years old, and no matter how hard I try, there's still no sign of pregnancy.
I was anxious before, but I didn't feel this much pressure.
Now that her fourth brother's wife is pregnant, even without her family pressuring her to have a baby, she's already panicked. She's terrified that her second sister-in-law is also pregnant, since her son Jinze is already six years old. Hao Yanhong had previously said she didn't want her child to suffer in the countryside, but now that they've all returned to the city, she's afraid that good news will soon follow.
My mind was a jumbled mess, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart: So what if she's pregnant with multiple babies? I just hope she's carrying only girls.
Meanwhile, in the other courtyard, Fu Yanming saw his wife as soon as he entered and said, "Wenjing, I'm back."
Guo Wenjing, who was washing vegetables, asked, "Judging from your expression, is there some good news?"
Fu Yanming pushed his sleeves up: "I'll wash the vegetables."
After saying that, he smiled and looked at Guo Wenjing: "Today is really a good day."
Guo Wenjing picked up a clove of garlic and peeled it while looking at the man: "Tell me quickly."
Fu Yanming cleared his throat: "Dad called me today and said that the fourth son's family is having multiple pregnancies."
Upon hearing this, Guo Wenjing was so excited that she dropped the garlic she was peeling on the ground: "What, multiple births? By the way, how many are in multiple births?"
Seeing her like this, Fu Yanming laughed: "When I received the call, I was also shocked. However, it's impossible to tell how many pregnancies it is right now. They only said that there is more than one fetal heartbeat. To be sure, we need to go to a big hospital for an ultrasound."
Guo Wenjing chimed in, "I know about ultrasound. I heard it can even tell if it's a boy or a girl. Xiao Wu from my workplace was taken there by her mother-in-law for a checkup. The hospital found someone who said Xiao Wu was carrying a boy. Her mother-in-law was overjoyed and treated her like royalty, feeding her all sorts of different things every day, just waiting for her grandson to arrive."
Xiao Wu also told us that she was lucky to be pregnant with a son. If it had been a daughter, given her mother-in-law's obsession with having a grandson, she probably would have dragged her to have an abortion. Even if she didn't have an abortion, she probably wouldn't have had a good pregnancy, since her mother-in-law has three daughters and one son, and is afraid that the family line would end with her son.
At this point, she suddenly remembered something: "Dad must have talked to the second and third sons about this, right?"
Fu Yanming nodded slightly: "I think everything has been said. By the way, contact them tomorrow and see if you want to go visit Fourth Brother's wife together; after all, pregnancy is a big deal."
Guo Wenjing smiled and agreed: "I was just about to bring this up. I'll call Yu Rong's workplace after I get to work tomorrow, and then I'll go to Lao Er's place around noon."
Fu Yanming interrupted, "You don't need to make a special trip tomorrow at noon. I'll call the second brother's workplace and have him go back and pass on the message. Let's set the date for this weekend. Anyway, the second brother's wife doesn't work, so the weekend is the most suitable. You can talk to the third brother's family and ask them to switch shifts."
Guo Wenjing remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Fu Yanming looked up at her and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
