Chapter 393 Secretly Tried Other Men
Since she usually has to work, she doesn't have much time to spend with her children, so it's mostly Huo's mother who takes care of them.
While chatting with Huo's mother, Shen Zhixia said, "It would be great if it were a kindergarten. They would sleep and eat there, and then you wouldn't have to bother."
Huo's mother doesn't actually have to work as hard to take care of the children anymore. Compared to before the age of three, she is much more relaxed. However, they are still two young children, and Huo's mother needs to watch over them every moment and cook for them.
“It’s not troublesome at all. I just like watching them; it makes me feel at ease,” said Mrs. Huo.
Shen Zhixia also felt that Huo's mother was not young, so she said, "Mom, if you think it's too hard to take care of them, I was thinking of hiring someone to look after the children."
Both she and Huo Chenzhou have good incomes, so they could hire someone. Then Huo's mother could stay home all the time, which would be perfect and would help Huo's mother take care of her in her old age.
To her surprise, Mrs. Huo quickly shook her head: "No, no, there's no need to hire anyone. It's just to take care of the two children. Why would you hire anyone? It's completely unnecessary."
Before Shen Zhixia could say anything more, a voice suddenly came from outside: "If you need someone to look after the children, I can."
She added, "It's free, I don't want any money."
Shen Zhixia looked up and saw Huo Xinran.
Since marrying Cai Wenhua, Huo Xinran has become much quieter and hasn't come to see Shen Zhixia again. So her sudden appearance this time surprised Shen Zhixia as well.
But Shen Zhixia still said, "No need."
Huo Xinran looked at the twins with some envy and said sincerely, "Your children are so cute. I wish I could have twins too."
Her eyes were filled with pure envy; there were no other emotions besides that.
Shen Zhixia: "...Actually, having twins isn't so great either; it's quite tiring."
In this era, it's best to have only one child. Twins are very painful to give birth to and are prone to complications. Fortunately, Huo Chenzhou found her a very good doctor beforehand, so she was safe and sound; otherwise, it would have been really dangerous.
However, childbirth is inherently dangerous, like passing through the gates of hell.
Huo Xinran stopped talking. She just stared at the two children with an increasingly strange look in her eyes, which made Shen Zhixia frown.
Suddenly, Huo Xinran said, "Can I ask you something?"
Shen Zhixia raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
Without waiting for her answer, Huo Xinran asked, "How did you get pregnant? Do you have any secrets?"
Shen Zhixia: "?"
Huo Xinran asked anxiously, "Have you taken any medicine? Have you seen a doctor to treat you?"
Shen Zhixia: "..."
Actually, when you're trying to get pregnant, you should have your body checked for various indicators and take good care of your health.
But she really didn't.
Huo Chenzhou didn't have any either.
After all, Huo Chenzhou's health was already quite good, and her health was also quite good. She conceived naturally and didn't think about it at all.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia honestly replied, "I just got pregnant naturally, without taking any medicine."
Huo Xinran's eyes were filled with even more envy. She whispered, "That's wonderful. You are someone who is blessed by heaven."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
At this point, she had already guessed some things, but she didn't ask.
Before she could ask, Huo's mother asked directly, "What's wrong with you? Are you having trouble conceiving?"
Huo Xinran was already feeling wronged, and after her mother asked, she nodded: "I've been married to Cai Wenhua for so long, but I still haven't been able to get pregnant. I've taken a lot of medicine and seen doctors, but I just can't seem to get pregnant. What should I do?"
She desperately wanted to get pregnant, after all, Cai Wenhua was the husband she had chosen, and she needed to have a child to keep him. But to her dismay, her womb just wouldn't cooperate, and no matter what she did, she couldn't get pregnant.
"Because I can't get pregnant, Cai Wenhua and his family have started to look down on me. Especially last time when some of their distant relatives came over, they actually mocked me as a hen that can't lay eggs. How can that be? What right do they have to insult me? Cai Wenhua's mother feels embarrassed and keeps urging me to have a baby. They've been urging me for a long time, and I'm anxious, but even if I'm anxious, it's no use. I just can't get pregnant."
As Huo Xinran spoke, she became sad: "Cai Wenhua's mother prepared some disgusting things for me to eat, such as chicken soup with wood ash, frog soup, and Chinese medicine with cockroaches. She said that as long as I ate them, I could get pregnant. Even though I felt like throwing up, I drank them all for the sake of having a child. But after all that, all I got in return was their disgust."
She was determined not to get a divorce. After marrying Cai Wenhua, she planned to stick with him and follow him for the rest of her life. However, she began to feel guilty about her inability to conceive.
A woman who cannot conceive is indeed worthless, at least in her own eyes, and she is now terrified that they will kick her out.
She was living a comfortable life with plenty of food and drink, and money to spend. If she were forced to leave Cai Wenhua because she couldn't get pregnant, her life would be in chaos again. She didn't want to live that kind of life.
Mrs. Huo frowned and said, "This is indeed a big problem. You can't get pregnant, so what are we going to do?"
Huo Xinran said sadly, "I just hope you can take pity on me and do me a favor. Please help me find a doctor who can cure my infertility. Don't worry, I will pay for it. I just want to get my illness cured, but I don't know many doctors."
Since many famous doctors were brought down last time, even though major hospitals have seemingly resumed operations, many doctors have not returned to work.
That's why she came here for medical treatment, knowing they had extensive connections.
She now hopes to cure her illness.
Shen Zhixia said, "If you don't have children, it's not necessarily your problem. It could also be Cai Wenhua's problem. You need to understand that this is a matter between husband and wife. If you need to get a medical checkup, you should also have Cai Wenhua get a checkup."
Mrs. Huo immediately agreed: "Yes, maybe Cai Wenhua is infertile himself. Why should he say it's your responsibility? I think he's also a strong suspect. You should have him checked as well."
Huo Xinran, however, affirmed, "It's just my problem, it has nothing to do with him."
Mrs. Huo said unhappily, "What time is it? Why are you still siding with him?"
Huo Xinran said shyly, "Because besides him, I secretly tried a few other men, but I still couldn't get pregnant, so it must be my problem."
