Jiang Mengxue was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but after the two of them divorced, she could get pregnant with anyone else.
Wen Yurou was confused, but Xu Ming seemed to understand a little.
Jiang Mengxue continued, "But with our current medical conditions, there's no way to verify this. There's also a theory that a couple who don't have a child together can adopt a child and then become pregnant. This child will then have siblings and be able to have children. But these are all folk beliefs and can't be verified."
Wen Yurou didn’t understand the rest of what was said, but she understood the part that came after that.
"Sister-in-law, can we have our own children if we adopt one?"
Jiang Mengxue waved her hands hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, this cannot be verified. It is possible, but there is no guarantee that it will really work."
Wen Yurou smiled and said, "I know. We've given up anyway. We've already agreed before we came here that if we can't find any problems this time, we'll go back and adopt a child."
The two people didn't want to give up as long as there was a little hope, so after hearing this possibility, hope was rekindled in their hearts.
Jiang Mengxue felt extremely regretful in her heart. You two must not put all your hopes on this. I really just said it casually.
"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, don't get your hopes up too much. This is all uncertain."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If it brings us good luck, we will raise this child well in the future. If that doesn't work, we will treat this child as our own."
Jiang Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the two of them were still rational, it would be fine. She was afraid that they would be stubborn and think that they could get pregnant by adopting a child. If that happened, she would be committing a great sin.
"Okay, Brother Xu and Sister-in-law, you guys go shopping. I have to go back to the hospital."
Xu Ming nodded and went to the carport to push the cart.
Jiang Mengxue watched the two of them leave and turned back to the hospital.
No wonder I always felt that Wen Yurou looked depressed when I saw her before. It turns out this was the reason.
He shook his head. There were many things that were hard to explain, and they couldn't be diagnosed with the current medical conditions.
Many times, genetic problems between two people make it difficult for them to have children, or even if they do have a child, it is difficult for it to be a healthy child.
These all require genetic screening, and sometimes genetic incompatibility between two people can lead to infertility.
There are many couples who have been together for many years but cannot get pregnant, and after divorce they remarry and have children. It is difficult to say for sure.
"Mengxue? Is that Xiaoxue?"
Jiang Mengxue turned around and saw a woman in her thirties walking towards her. She felt that she looked a little familiar.
"Sister-in-law Xiulan?"
"It's me, it's me. I haven't seen you for many years. I almost didn't recognize you."
Jiang Mengxue seldom goes home while studying away from home.
The last time she saw Jiang Mengxue was when she got married, but Jiang Mengxue was probably busy at that time and didn't see her.
"Sister-in-law, when did you come? Did the Taoyuan Brigade also send people over?"
Gao Xiulan nodded and said, "It's not that bad. Our team was very busy during that period, and by the time the commune notified us, it was already too late.
Xiaoxue, do you work in this hospital? I haven't seen you in a few days.
Jiang Mengxue shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I used to work in the First Hospital, and I was transferred here because of this training. I didn't come for the past two days because I had nothing to do."
Jiang Mengxue raised her hand and glanced at the time: "Sister-in-law, it's noon, let's go to the cafeteria together. By the way, is there anything going on at home? I may not have time to go back in the next few months."
Gao Xiulan nodded and followed up: "Yes, I just finished the work in the fields recently. I still have to break corn kernels and dry sweet potatoes. After finishing these, I still have to do my own work.
Your sister Yuzhen jumped into the river. She is from Taoyuan and married to the Feiyue Brigade. I don’t know if you saw it. Fortunately, someone around saw her and pulled her out. But she was very cold. We asked a doctor to see her, and he said it would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.
Her parents died early, and she has two older sisters and two younger brothers. Thanks to the help of her older sisters, her younger brother was able to start a family in the past few years.
I heard that my two younger brothers took their entire family to the Feiyue Brigade to make trouble. I came to the city and don’t know how they resolved it later.”
Jiang Mengxue tried hard to recall who this Yuzhen was. The two families had no real relatives, they were probably just neighbors.
"What's going on? Why did you jump into the river when you were fine?"
Gao Xiulan curled her lips and said, "What else could it be? She gave birth to another girl a while ago, so she has five children now. She must have been fed up with the gossip outside and couldn't get over it."
Jiang Mengxue was helpless: "Sister-in-law, the gender of a baby depends mainly on the man. Isn't there a saying that goes, you reap what you sow? How come some people still think that the gender of a baby depends on the woman?"
"The child is born from a woman's belly, how can it have nothing to do with the woman?"
Nowadays, everyone generally believes that children come out of women's belly. If a boy cannot be born, it must be because the woman's belly is not cooperating.
"Sister-in-law, from a medical point of view, whether a woman gets pregnant and gives birth to a boy or a girl is definitely determined by the man's sperm. Oh, if I say too much, you won't understand. You just need to remember that the boy or the girl has nothing to do with the woman.
You are the women's director of our team. If anyone says that women can't give birth to boys, tell them that from a medical point of view, it is men who decide whether a child is male or female. So if you feel ashamed of not being able to give birth to a boy, then it's because men are useless, understand? "
Gao Xiulan's three views were completely refreshed. How could this be possible? Children are born by women. How can the gender of a child be determined by a man?
Jiang Mengxue had the same meal as everyone else. She saw that many people brought food from home and asked the canteen to help cook it.
Gao Xiulan also brought some multi-grain steamed bread and heated it up in the canteen's steamer.
They also ate the pickles they brought with them. Even though there was a subsidy for this trip, they were reluctant to buy a dish.
After get off work in the afternoon, Jiang Mengxue went home with Xie Sheng.
He Xiaoying had already prepared dinner and packed her things, planning to move in two days.
"Xiaoying, is everything packed up at the house? Are you planning to move out?"
He Xiaoying was so happy that she would soon have her own place to live, a place that would be completely her own.
"I went to see it today and it's already been done. Brother Li also helped me weave two thick straw mats. I just need to put a sheet on them, no need for a quilt.
I plan to wait for Director Li to come back before moving. I'll stay and cook for you for the next two days."
Jiang Mengxue thought that she still didn’t know what He Xiaoying’s future plans were.
"Did the street office tell you what kind of job they'd assign you? What will you do if there's no job?"
He Xiaoying brought the dishes to the table: "I've heard it said so. They want me to take care of my health first, and they will inform me about the job in a while."
Jiang Mengxue nodded. Fortunately, it was still early. If it were the 1970s, she probably wouldn't have been assigned a job at all.
Jiang Mengxue would occasionally add a drop of spiritual spring water into the large vat. After dilution, the effect might not be strong, but it was enough for ordinary people.
After dinner, Jiang Mengxue took He Xiaoying's pulse again. She didn't know if it had any effect, but she felt much stronger than the previous few days.
