Early in the morning, there was a series of belching sounds in the yard. The sound came in waves and sounded like someone was going to vomit out the stomach. Lin Minjun was not so exaggerated yesterday.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Shen Hongyu squatting at the door of her house, hunched over, and gasping non-stop.
At this time, someone came out to brush his teeth and wash his face. Seeing Shen Hongyu's groaning posture, he smiled and said, "Hongyu, are you pregnant?"
"No." said Shen Hongyu.
Lin Minjun also asked, "What's wrong with you? If you feel unwell, go to the hospital."
Because of a rare concern, Shen Hongyu explained: "I just got up and drank a bowl of medicine. It was too bitter and I couldn't help but vomit."
Lin Minjun comforted them, "You can't take too much of that medicine. All medicines are harmful to the body. There's nothing wrong with your bodies. Why do you need to take so much medicine? Just let nature take its course."
Shen Hongyu straightened up and gave Lin Minjun a displeased look.
"Now that you're pregnant, you don't have back pain when you talk while standing. I don't have that much pressure when I'm not pregnant."
Lin Minjun: “You don’t know what’s good for you!”
She turned to look at Yan Li, "Brother, let's go and leave her alone."
Lin Minjun went to the hospital with Yan Li to get the test results. When they got to the window to pick up the test results, the nurse asked, "What's your name?"
"Lin Minjun, I came here yesterday for an ultrasound and blood test." Lin Minjun said.
The nurse took out a sheet from among several lists, took a look at it, and handed it out with a smile, "You're pregnant, congratulations."
Lin Minjun's heart skipped a beat.
She suppressed her excitement and took the test report herself. She saw that it did indeed say intrauterine pregnancy. She stood there stupidly, not knowing how to react.
"Nurse, are you sure this is mine? Could it be wrong?" She stood in front of the window and checked carefully.
"Don't worry, it's really yours. There were only a few people who came for the check-up yesterday, and you were the only pregnant woman."
So she was pregnant, she was actually pregnant, she couldn't be dreaming, right?
Lin Minjun stared at the examination list for a while, blinked, and tears rolled down her cheeks, unable to hold them back.
"Ajun, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Yan Li immediately helped her wipe her tears.
Lin Minjun's tears flowed even more fiercely!
She was excited, she was thrilled, she found it incredible, she was crying with joy!
She had traveled all her life, taken countless bitter medicines, but had never gotten pregnant despite all the suffering. This time, she had done nothing, yet she got pregnant.
"I'm happy." Lin Minjun reached out and touched her belly, where a little life had already taken root and sprouted.
She was surprised and happy, but then she felt a little puzzled. Wasn't she diagnosed with infertility in her last life? How come she got pregnant this time?
"Didn't you say before that you were infertile? How come you're suddenly pregnant?" Yan Li also found it strange.
Lin Minjun looked at the list and said, "I don't understand either. Let's go see a doctor and ask him what we should pay attention to during pregnancy."
The two of them went to the office immediately, and Lin Minjun asked why she was unable to get pregnant before, but was pregnant now.
She then told him about her situation.
The doctor groaned after hearing this and said, "Maybe it's because you are in a good mood and young, so you can recover easily."
"Being in a good mood can have so many effects?" Lin Minjun said curiously.
The doctor smiled, "People say that laughter makes you look ten years younger. Keeping a happy mood and a positive attitude towards life is good for your health, especially for us female comrades. We must not get angry, and we must not hold anger in our hearts. Over time, it is easy to cause breast hyperplasia."
Lin Minjun nodded.
The couple came out of the doctor's office feeling happy but also nervous, not knowing how to protect their unborn child.
One moment he said to put the bike on a few layers of soft cushions and ride it slowly home, and the next moment he said that the road was not far anyway, so I could just walk back.
Finally, Lin Minjun made a decision and climbed carefully onto the back seat of the bicycle. The back seat was already covered with several layers of soft cloth and a soft cushion. It felt soft to sit on and didn't hurt at all.
Lin Minjun said, "I still have to go to work and the restaurant in the future. I can't walk there every day. The doctor just said that I can take a car, as long as it's not bumpy and goes slower."
She patted the seat and urged, "Come on, brother. It's okay."
Yan Li rode very carefully along the way. Whenever he saw a pothole, he would stop and push the bicycle forward. In the end, he just pushed the bicycle forward and let Lin Minjun sit.
The couple returned home happily. Just as they reached the entrance of the alley, they ran into people in the alley who were going out to work.
Everyone knew that they were there to get the test results, so they came over and asked, "How is it? Are you pregnant?"
Everyone was talking about it. Some said that Lin Minjun looked pregnant at first glance, while others said that it was not certain and that they would have to go to the hospital for a check-up to find out.
As she was talking, Shen Hongyu heard the noise and rushed out of her house. She squeezed in front of Lin Minjun. She was even more excited than Lin Minjun herself and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, are you pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant. The hospital gave me a check-up report saying it's intrauterine pregnancy. The baby is now more than a month old." Lin Minjun said with a smile.
The neighbors in the alley sometimes like to gossip, but most of the time they are sincere. I have been worried about them before, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Goudan's mother laughed, "That's great, great! I'm so happy for you. If you have any questions during your pregnancy, feel free to ask me. I'll be at home all day. You have to be careful with your first child. Don't eat carelessly. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to give birth. Also, you have to pay attention..."
She listed seven or eight pregnancy precautions in one breath, and everyone laughed. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. You two can chat about it when you're free. Xiao Li is getting so anxious next to her, he's afraid that we'll squeeze his wife."
Everyone laughed when they talked about this, but soon they congratulated Yan Li and Lin Minjun seriously and said, "You can ask us if you have any questions. We all have children at home, so we can play together when the children are born."
Lin Minjun nodded and said, "Thank you, and thank you, Auntie. I will definitely come to ask you if I have any questions."
The conversation was going on lively when suddenly someone called out in surprise, "Hongyu, Hongyu, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You're so weird. You scared me."
The man said, "Hongyu has fainted!"
The crowd slowly dispersed, revealing Shen Hongyu inside. Lin Minjun leaned over to take a look and saw Shen Hongyu lying on the ground. She had actually fainted.
Everyone was wondering, "What happened to Hongyu? Why did she faint out of nowhere?"
Goudan's mother: "Don't say too much, the ground is cold, lift him up and send him home, it's not a good idea for him to lie there like this."
So a group of people worked together to lift Shen Hongyu up, some held her by her arms, some held her by her feet, and carried Shen Hongyu back home.
Someone was so kind as to go to the clinic nearby and call the doctor on duty to see Shen Hongyu.
The doctor listened to Shen Hongyu's heartbeat and flipped her eyelids again. "Has the patient taken any medicine recently, or is she suffering from any disease?"
Goudan's mother: "I haven't heard that she has any illness, but I heard that she has been taking medicine recently. The medicine is for childbirth. She vomited after taking it. She drank a lot."
The doctor examined Shen Hongyu again. "This is due to stimulation, plus she drank too many mixed drugs. Her body couldn't handle it and she passed out. It's nothing serious. I'll give her some IV drips and she'll have to rest."
The doctor continued to nag, "When she wakes up, you can talk to her about how she can take this medicine randomly and take so much. Haven't you heard that medicine is poisonous?"
"We told her but she didn't listen."
Doctor: "Then let her go to the hospital for a checkup after she wakes up. She will know after the checkup."
The doctor left after giving her the IV drip. The kind-hearted old neighbors all stayed by her side and watched her drink the medicine.
Everyone looked at Shen Hongyu and couldn't help but sigh, "Hongyu was too anxious. She took medicine recklessly. Now, she fainted. I say you can't be anxious about this matter. The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to have a child. Look at Jun, she wasn't anxious and didn't take medicine, but she got pregnant, didn't she?"
"As long as the couple are in good health, they will always be able to get pregnant, it's just a matter of sooner or later." Goudan's mother nodded.
Just when everyone was talking about this, Shen Hongyu woke up. She opened her eyes but didn't say anything, and no one noticed that she was awake. They compared Lin Minjun and Shen Hongyu, saying that one of them was in a hurry and took medicine but didn't get pregnant, while the other was neither hurried nor slow, but got pregnant early.
In the past, Shen Hongyu would have jumped out of bed and started a quarrel after hearing this.
But today she didn't move. She just lay straight on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was in a daze.
Shen Hongyu's eyes were empty as she stared at the spider webs on the beams. Suddenly, a terrible idea popped into her mind.
The problem between Lin Minjun and Lu Deping is that Lu Deping is infertile.
As soon as this thought came up, she couldn't control it. Shen Hongyu couldn't help thinking, Lin Minjun suffered so much in her previous life and still couldn't give birth, so how come she got pregnant after changing a man, and got pregnant so quickly.
There is only one possibility, that is, Lu Deping cannot have children!
This guess made Shen Hongyu shudder, and the hairs on her back stood up.
She had met Lin Minjun in her previous life. Although the clothes and bags she wore were all expensive brand-name products, she always seemed unhappy, with a hint of sadness between her brows.
When some friends asked her about her situation, she refused to say anything. She just said that she was tired. She was tired of seeing doctors, trying to have a child, and dealing with her in-laws was even more tiring.
It didn't seem like she wanted to do that. If Lin Minjun knew that Lu Deping was infertile, she would have run away long ago. Why would she have gone through all that trouble?
Shen Hongyu was wondering if Lu Deping had done something to make Lin Minjun think that she couldn't get pregnant.
When she thought about it this way, she felt that Lu Deping was a terrible person. He had deceived Lin Minjun all her life and had delayed her life all her life.
The more Shen Hongyu thought about it, the more frightened she became. Cold sweat broke out on her face. She was worried that she would become the second Lin Minjun.
It’s not that she loves Lu Deping and must give birth to a child for him.
But Shen Hongyu felt that if she didn't have a child, she would never be able to take root in this family, and would be controlled by the Lu family forever, just like Lin Minjun in her previous life, whose in-laws used the fact that she didn't have a child to control her.
Whenever Shen Hongyu thought of this possibility, she gritted her teeth in anger.
If it was really Lu Deping who was deceiving people, then he was too hateful and had ruined other people's lives.
After the drip, Shen Hongyu asked her neighbors to go back first. She got up from the bed, threw away the medicines that she had bought to induce childbirth, and lay in bed to rest for two days.
After resting for two days, Shen Hongyu and Lu Deping wanted to have a child every night. It was no longer for pleasure, but for reproduction. Her mind was now filled with the thought of verifying her hypothesis.
A week later, Shen Hongyu had her period again. She lay in bed and asked Lu Deping to go to the hospital for a check-up.
"We've been married for a few months, and my neighbor Lin Minjun is pregnant, but there's no movement in my stomach. We went to the hospital to check it out, and we felt relieved," said Shen Hongyu.
Silence, dead silence.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Deping opened his mouth and uttered one word, "Okay."
Shen Hongyu said she wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, so she decided to go to the hospital early the next morning. She got up early in the morning to get herself ready, and then she went there at the time when the hospital opened.
Shen Hongyu had just walked out of her house when the door of the house in front of her happened to open and Lin Minjun also came out.
With a creak, the door opened and Lin Minjun walked out. Shen Hongyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cheerful atmosphere over there.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and Lin Minjun was halfway through making the mooncakes when she found out she was pregnant. She didn't want to give up her work in the store, but she was also worried about Yan Li being alone.
It happened that Erwa was on summer vacation at that time, so he volunteered to accompany her to the store and be responsible for supervising the workers' work, entertaining customers and collecting money, and Lin Minjun just had to sit by and watch.
At this time, the whole family was out, and Lin Minjun was taken care of and protected by two family members, who were afraid that she would get cold or hot, fall or get frozen, just like they were taking care of their ancestors.
When Shen Hongyu thought of herself again, she suddenly felt that the scene was so dazzling.
Doing it again, Lin Minjun jumped out of the fire pit, and she scrambled to jump into the fire pit.
Shen Hongyu laughed at herself twice, laughing at herself for being smart all her life but falling into a trap this time.
"I'm fine, let's go." Lu Deping also walked out.
Shen Hongyu withdrew her gaze and walked out of the alley with Lu Deping.
Lu Deping wanted to go to the hospital, but Shen Hongyu refused to agree. "What can the hospital tell you? If you want to go, go to a big hospital. They can give you a definite answer whether you can have a baby or not."
Shen Hongyu insisted on going to a big hospital, and the most authoritative hospital in the capital. She said that she was not without money anyway, so she must see everything clearly at once.
Shen Hongyu was particularly insistent and refused to leave without going to a big hospital. Lu Deping had no choice but to agree, and the two of them went to the largest hospital in the capital.
When I walked into the hospital, I went to the nurse's desk and asked, "Where can I go if I can't have a baby?"
"It's the gynecology department. Just turn left from here and you'll see it." The nurse said immediately.
Shen Hongyu: "Do men also get examined in the gynecology department?"
"Of course not. Does he want to be checked too?" The nurse glanced at Lu Deping.
In fact, it was just a very ordinary glance. The nurse just thought it was quite rare. Usually, women come to check themselves. Unexpectedly, this gay man was willing to come over. The nurse thought this gay man was nice.
Lu Deping froze, this kind of look was what he could not stand the most. He felt like people were laughing at him, as if he was stripped naked and running on the street, with everyone pointing at him.
Shen Hongyu: "Check everything, just in case."
The nurse pointed in another direction, "Men go to the men's department, which is on the fourth floor, and the gynecology department is on the second floor."
The two thanked the nurse and went to the back for examination. Lu Deping said as they walked, "One is on the fourth floor and the other is on the second floor. Let's go and check separately first, and then meet at the front door after the examination to save time."
"How much time can be wasted? You accompany me to do the check-up first, and then I will accompany you to do the check-up." Shen Hongyu certainly disagreed.
They went to the gynecology department first, which was actually just to do a B-ultrasound, and the doctor then did a gynecological examination. Shen Hongyu finished it quickly, packed up, and then accompanied Lu Deping to do it.
From a distance, the sign of the Men's Department was visible. There were several men sitting at the door, all timid and unable to raise their heads. Lu Deping pursed his lips and glanced at Shen Hongyu. "We're here. It's not convenient here. You can go outside."
He was actually looking for an opportunity to do something.
Last time he went to the hospital for a checkup, it was discovered that he had a problem, so he went back to discuss it with his mother.
His mother said at the time, "You can't tell Lin Minjun like this. Then the daughter-in-law will definitely run away. Once she runs away, people will definitely ask about it. If you let it slip, you will never be able to live a normal life. Your relatives will also stab you in the back. In this case, I will think of a way. I will definitely not let you be scolded."
Lu's mother found a way to get some connections to do another check-up. This time she found a strong young man on the street to do the check-up on Lu Deping's behalf, and the result was of course fine.
The first checkup showed that both of them were fine. The second time, Lu's mother asked them to go to her place for a checkup, and she found out that Lin Minjun's fallopian tubes were blocked.
But now Lu's mother has been fired from the hospital and divorced. She is in dire straits and can hardly take care of herself, so of course she can't take care of Lu Deping.
Lu Deping wanted to find a way out on his own.
He was undecided at first, wondering whether to take action or just admit that he had a problem. But the look from the nurse just now, and more importantly, the droopy-headed, lifeless men sitting in the men's department, drained his courage in an instant. He couldn't bear this, couldn't bear that kind of lifeless look.
Lu Deping's mind was spinning wildly and he looked everywhere, wondering whether he should find someone to check himself or pay the doctor to say that he was fine.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw Shen Hongyu.
Lu Deping frowned, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Why would I go out? No one is taking off their pants here, so why can't I come?" Shen Hongyu said confidently, "Besides, I'm your wife, and we're husband and wife, so I can come in. I'll have to accompany you for the checkup later."
She was afraid that Lu Deping would do something while she was away, so she was on guard.
Shen Hongyu spoke confidently. Just then, a nurse came over. She grabbed the nurse and asked, "Hello, this is my husband. Can I follow him when he goes in for a checkup?"
"It's not a good idea to follow, but you can go in if you really want to," said the nurse.
Shen Hongyu followed closely, not leaving for a moment.
The two of them went in for a check-up together. The doctor pulled up the curtain while examining her, so Shen Hongyu sat outside and listened carefully.
She was like a dog-skin plaster the whole way, not allowing Lu Deping any private space, and she could not find a chance to do anything.
After the examination, Shen Hongyu asked again, "Doctor, when will the results of this examination be available?"
The doctor said, "Today is the day for the examination. The results will probably be out this afternoon."
In the afternoon, Shen Hongyu mentioned that she wanted to go to the hospital to get the test results.
Lu De is usually very busy and is usually not at home in the afternoon. But this afternoon he said there was nothing to do in the factory and stayed at home.
Seeing Shen Hongyu was about to go out, Lu Deping said, "I don't have anything to do anyway, let's go together."
The two of them went out to get the results. When they got to the place where they could get the test results, Lu Deping said, "You have to wait a little longer. There is a small street next to the hospital. I'll give you some money. You can go shopping there. Don't you usually love shopping?"
Shen Hongyu: "Don't you usually dislike me buying things? Why do you suddenly say that?"
Lu Deping smiled gently, "I've figured it out. We are husband and wife. I earn money for you to spend. You can buy anything you want. Being happy is the most important thing."
Unfortunately, Shen Hongyu is no longer interested in this. She no longer has the mood to go shopping. All she can think about is whether she will become the second Lin Minjun!
"Okay, then you wait here, I'll go buy something." Shen Hongyu said this and walked forward a few steps until she was out of sight of Lu Deping. She suddenly turned around and hid behind the wall, observing Lu Deping from a distance.
She saw Lu Deping sitting by the window, reading a newspaper for a while, and then waiting for the nurse to come to work and notify him to go over and get the examination form, so Lu Deping went over.
Shen Hongyu's heart suddenly rose. She thought that if Lu Deping was okay, he would be relieved. If there was a problem, his expression would definitely change. She only needed to observe Lu Deping's expression to roughly know the result.
So she rubbed her eyes, hid in the corner and observed Lu Deping carefully.
"Huh?" Shen Hongyu was a little surprised.
She saw Lu Deping take the examination form and put it directly into his pocket without even looking at it. There was no expression on his face, neither surprise nor sadness.
Shen Hongyu was confused for a moment, was there a problem or not?
After waiting for a while, Shen Hongyu couldn't help it and walked straight up.
"Why didn't you buy anything?" Lu Deping asked curiously.
Shen Hongyu forced a smile. "I didn't see anything I liked. I walked around and got tired, so I came back. Did you get the checklist?"
Lu Deping: "We got it. Shall we go back?"
"Let me take a look. Is there any problem?" Shen Hongyu said immediately.
Lu Deping: "I've seen it, it's fine, no need to see it."
The more he tried to prevent her from seeing it and the more he tried to hide it, the heavier Shen Hongyu felt inside, as if she had swallowed a block of ice, her heart felt cold.
She didn't know whether she should break up with Lu Deping. If Lu Deping was fine, and she was busy breaking up with him, how would she reconcile with Lu Deping then, and how would she ask Lu Deping for money?
Shen Hongyu was not completely sure that there was something wrong with Lu Deping, so she thought about it and decided to coax him first and find a chance to take a look at Lu Deping's examination list.
Lu Deping: "Now that the inspection is over, shall we go home first?" He was sweating as he gripped the handlebars of his bicycle, fearing that Shen Hongyu would continue to dwell on the inspection.
Unexpectedly, Shen Hongyu was so easy to talk to at this time. She nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them went home together. It was already evening when they got home. Lu Deping said that he had no plans for that evening, so he would not go out and would stay at home to handle work.
After he finished speaking, he locked himself in the study and just hid in the study.
Shen Hongyu said she was going to cook, but in fact she had been on guard for a long time. When she saw him enter the study, she quietly walked to the crack of the door and peeked in. She looked at the situation inside through the crack without daring to breathe.
Shen Hongyu went over there to take a look. She saw Lu Deping sitting in front of the desk. He took out two examination lists and looked at them together.
After watching for a while, he went over and got the scissors and tape.
Shen Hongyu felt as if a huge rock had suddenly fallen down in her heart.
Lu Deping used the instructions to touch the inspection form and gently stuck a piece of paper down. However, he did not use the right amount of force and stuck it to the wrong place. He tried to stick it again carefully, but this time he used too much force and made a hole in the inspection form.
Lu Deping swore, cut off the piece of paper with scissors, and copied it down on another piece of paper.
Halfway through writing, the door suddenly slammed open and Shen Hongyu was standing at the door.
Shen Hongyu was furious. She kicked the door open and walked in, going to the desk.
Before Lu Deping could react, she rushed forward to grab the inspection form.
As soon as he grabbed one, Lu Deping shuddered and grabbed her hand, "What are you doing?"
"I also want to ask you what you are doing. I want to see the test results." Shen Hongyu said sharply.
Lu Deping came over and pried her hands apart, trying to snatch the papers away. How could Shen Hongyu let go at this time? She slammed Lu Deping's hands on the table. Lu Deping let go in pain. Shen Hongyu immediately took the two medical examination forms and looked at them in her hands.
She looked carefully and saw that her medical examination report showed that everything was normal, but there was a hole in the paper, which was caused by Lu Deping just now.
And there were three words clearly written on the piece of paper from Lu Deping: Azoospermia.
Shen Hongyu was stunned, not being able to react to what azoospermia meant.
Soon she thought of it again. Azoospermia means there are no living sperms, which means there is no fertility at all!
Shen Hongyu looked at the medical examination form with a hole in her hand, and then saw the half-transcribed white paper on the table, and she reacted immediately.
This bastard Lu Deping actually wanted to tamper with the test results to harm himself. He wanted to transfer the bad reputation of being unable to have children to himself!
