Yu Yin walked out of the hospital in a daze, with Lu Shurui following nervously beside her, afraid that she might fall.
Back home, sitting in the yard, Yu Yin still felt it was all unreal. How could she be pregnant? Her body was so badly injured, she barely survived, and she could still get pregnant? It didn't make sense!
At this moment, Yu Yin forgot that she had an unscientific space and a spiritual spring.
Life became better, and Yu Yin used her space much less. Apart from planting and harvesting regularly, she almost never entered the space. Sometimes, she even forgot that she had a space; its usage rate was too low.
"Drink some water. You don't look well. Don't go to work this afternoon. Stay home and rest."
Lu Shurui was also very confused. He didn't know what to choose, or whether he could be a good father to so many children. He had no confidence.
"Drink water, ah! Water!"
Yu Yin suddenly realized that her long-term consumption of the spiritual spring water might be the reason she was able to get pregnant.
She thought the spiritual spring water only had an effect on injuries, could regulate the body, and enhance bodily functions, but she never expected it could also cure infertility! Knowing this, she drank less of it.
Lu Shurui was confused. What was wrong with the water?
"The water isn't hot; I've already tested the temperature."
Looking at Lu Shurui's serious face, Yu Yin suddenly felt a little calmer.
This isn't just her problem, and the child isn't just hers either. What's the point of her agonizing over it? The two of them should discuss it together.
"Shurui, do you think we can raise so many children? At least twins, what if it's triplets? Then we'll have five children!"
Yu Yin said worriedly, she really lacked confidence. Although she had lived here for several years, deep down she still had strong feelings about the future, which affected her life.
"No way, there can be three? Am I that capable?"
"What's so great about it?"
Yu Yin was confused. How did this get to the point about whether someone is good or not? What does it have to do with anything?
"It's just that... you know, don't you always say I take too long and I'm too tired?"
"Hey! Is this the time to talk about these things? You call yourself an intellectual, but you don't even know how a child is conceived? What does that have to do with being impressive or not?"
It's unbelievable. Men are all the same. They have an inexplicable confidence in their abilities and wish they were men who could do it seven times a night!
"Oh, is it alright? Haha... Just kidding, the atmosphere's a bit tense!"
Lu Shurui didn't know why, but she suddenly felt very proud. It was another multiple pregnancy!
"You, really, let's get down to business."
Yu Yin was so angry that she raised her hand and punched him twice. He was so infuriating.
“Yinyin, to be honest, I’m not sure I can be a good father. We were unprepared and became parents without really knowing what was going on. Especially since you had a difficult childbirth, I was terrified. I was afraid you wouldn’t make it, and I was afraid the baby wouldn’t survive. Then I would be burdened with the responsibility of three lives.”
Lu Shurui still feels lingering fear when he recalls that scene.
"But now we've raised Ping'an and An'an to adulthood, and they're doing very well. We've matured both psychologically and materially."
After pausing for a moment, Lu Shurui organized his thoughts and said, "I secretly asked the doctor if it would harm your body if you didn't plan to have children, and the doctor said it would be quite harmful."
This is also what troubles Lu Shurui, as it is said that abortion is very harmful to a woman's body.
"If possible, I think we should have the child. It's our destiny that the child is coming. I will try my best to be a good husband and a good father, really."
Yu Yin was a little surprised that he had gone to consult about abortion.
Having many children and grandchildren is the mainstream trend in this era; people have children whenever they can, and no one would deliberately choose to have an abortion.
The technology for dilation and curettage (D&C) in this era is unknown; it certainly won't be as good as it will be decades later. If it leaves any lasting damage, even the spiritual spring water might not be effective!
Deep down, Yu Yin still wanted this baby.
Deep down, she longed for the warmth of a family, loved the lively atmosphere at home, and enjoyed watching her children play carefree... Seeing these things seemed to erase the memories of her unhappy childhood little by little.
Touching her belly, she felt a tiny life inside, a tiny life carrying her blood.
"Shurui, if we have another child, will we be biased? If we have more children, will we be unable to treat them all equally?"
Lu Shurui understood Yu Yin's concerns. Both of them were neglected children in their families and had been hurt to varying degrees. They didn't want their children to repeat the same mistakes.
“Yinyin, we haven’t favored either Ping’an or Ping’an. The two children have a very good relationship. I believe that if there were other children, we could treat them equally.”
Lu Shurui has the demeanor of a gentle scholar and seems easy to talk to, but he actually has his own principles, especially when it comes to the education of his children.
Because of the stereotypical influences of later generations, Yu Yin sometimes spoils her children. It may also be out of a compensatory mentality, wanting her children to have what she herself did not have.
When it comes to matters of principle, Lu Shurui can stand firm. Even if his little darling throws a tantrum, he can patiently guide her, but he will not compromise.
At this moment, seeing Lu Shurui's determined gaze, Yu Yin seemed no longer afraid.
"Then let's keep them and make them our new family members."
Actually, Yu Yin might not dare to have an abortion. She says she doesn't want so many children, but if she were really pregnant, she wouldn't have the heart to get rid of them.
"Shurui, we need to talk to them peacefully and calmly, so that they understand that even with younger siblings, we still love them and will not neglect them."
