Chapter 442 Arguing
Jiang Xue was in the hospital when Cheng Guo gave birth.
She watched Sister Cheng Guo groaning and sweating as she waited for delivery in the hospital.
Jiang Xue was extremely nervous at that time.
But Sister Cheng Guo's mother and sister-in-law were very calm.
With the look of an experienced person, he gave orders to Liu Qinglin, who was also quite frightened.
To comfort Cheng Guo, and also to comfort Jiang Xue who was seeing this scene for the first time.
"It hurts for a while, but it will go away after the birth."
"Don't be afraid, every woman goes through this."
"Just thinking about being able to meet my child soon and giving birth soon, I feel relieved."
Sister Cheng Guo and other elders also came with them.
Although I was nervous while waiting for the baby to be born, I didn't seem that nervous at the same time.
Several people also talked about their previous experiences of pregnancy and childbirth.
What? I had severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. I vomited after eating, and then ate again after vomiting. Then I went to the hospital to be hospitalized and received nutritional injections.
What about the whole body swelling in the late pregnancy, going to the toilet every now and then, and the baby squeezing the bladder.
Spots and wrinkles appear. Another relative said that her daughter-in-law grew a lot of body hair, and her armpits and neck became black after she became pregnant.
This is still a smooth journey. There are also some that say things are not going smoothly. During pregnancy, you have to take medicine and get injections, either in the belly or in the buttocks.
Those who need to protect the fetus need to stay in bed.
Giving birth is not that smooth either. Although medical facilities are very advanced nowadays, there is still a risk of death during childbirth.
In addition, you will encounter various problems during your life.
Such as difficult labor, heavy bleeding, manual placental removal, and blood clots.
Jiang Xue was stunned after hearing this.
I was terrified when I thought about what I might experience in the future.
Why is she putting this on herself? She doesn't want to have a baby!
Sister Cheng Guo came to the hospital at two or three in the morning. When Jiang Xue came, it was already six in the morning, and she hadn't given birth yet. The doctor said that the cervix had not fully dilated.
Jiang Xue checked what a few fingers of the cervix meant and read some popular science pictures and texts on the walls on both sides of the hospital's delivery room. Her determination not to have children increased even more.
"I don't want to have children in the future." Jiang Xue said.
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Mo who came with her. Because today was Sunday, they were both in Jiang Xue's house, so they came together.
Not only Jiang Xue listened to what these people said, but Xu Mo also listened to it.
"Then don't give birth."
If you don’t want it, don’t have it.
Xu Mo said.
"Giving birth causes great harm to women," said Xu Mo.
Aunt Cheng Guo heard what the two said and thought the couple was frightened by the scene. She said jokingly, "Don't be afraid. Women feel pain when giving birth, but forget it after giving birth. I also gave birth to two children. I vaguely remember that it was painful when giving birth, but I can't remember how it hurt."
"Women, once the wound has healed, forget the pain. After I gave birth to my first child, I said I would never have another one, but I gave birth to my second one anyway. My husband's family valued boys over girls, and sometimes it was not up to a woman to decide whether to have a child or not."
"The pain is borne by the woman. In the past, perhaps she could not make a decision due to her family status, but now she can decide whether to have a child or not," said Xu Mo.
"You kid, my family status is very high!" Cheng Guo's aunt defended.
Aunt Cheng Guo thought he was showing off in front of his girlfriend and arguing with her. Among her relatives, she was said to be the most argumentative, so she immediately broke up with Xu Mo, "Then when you get married, can you accept Jiang Xue not having children? Can you accept it? Can your parents and elders accept it?"
"God gave women one more uterus than men for reproduction. In my opinion, people who don't have children are selfish. If no one has children, the human race will perish."
"All living things have the instinct to reproduce, and humans are no exception." Cheng Guo's aunt said this complacently. It seemed that these two people were the top students in Peking University, but she was not bad either. Look at what she said, humans, living things, instincts, what a pattern.
Hearing her say this, Jiang Xue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She was also curious about why Xu Mo would answer like that.
So I looked at Xu Mo with a little curiosity.
Xu Mo refuted her words one by one, in a calm and non-aggressive tone, as if he was discussing an academic topic, "Whether Jiang Xue has children in the future has nothing to do with me or my parents."
"I think having a child is a unilateral decision of a woman. It is not determined by the belly, but by the brain. Just because you have this function does not mean you have to use it,"
"A woman who is willing to give birth to a child is willing to endure the pain in exchange for the child to come into this world. She is giving birth to this child for herself, not for any other person."
"China is no longer an old society. The law absolutely protects women's autonomy over whether to have children or not. No individual or organization can deprive you of any other legal rights just because you don't have children."
"Similarly, not having children does not need to rise to the level of moral kidnapping. A person's decision to have children does not have a big impact on the entire human race. However, labeling this behavior as selfish and forcing women to change is actually moral kidnapping."
The reason Xu Mo can say this is also related to Xu Mo's mother.
At that time, Mother Xu tasted the forbidden fruit and became pregnant unexpectedly.
After getting married, when she had an argument with Grandma Xu, the two of them said that if Mother Xu had not been pregnant at the time, Grandma Xu would never let her son have her.
"I am pregnant because I am young and ignorant, and I don't have enough knowledge. I can't get pregnant on my own, it takes two people to get pregnant."
“I wasn’t very old when I got pregnant, but I paid for what I did.”
"I was planning to abort Xu Mo at the time. I chose to get married and give birth to him after careful consideration for a long time." These were the answers given by Xu's mother at the time.
After arguing with Grandma Xu, she said to Xu Mo: "Your arrival may be an accident, but it is also the fruit of the love between your father and I."
"I gave birth to you not because of how much money your grandma made outside or how well-off the Xu family was, but because I wanted to have a child with your father, a child of my own."
"Your father respected my opinion at the time. The uterus is on my body. Other people are just factors I consider. The decision is up to me."
So he said these words because he really thought so. His mother told him many of his ideas when he was very young. After he grew up and had his own judgment, he would keep what he thought was right and change his mind if he thought it was wrong.
It was Cheng Guo's mother who came over to mediate and ended the discussion.
Because of Xu Mo's words, the fear she had just felt about being pregnant and having a child was much lessened.
Before I could say anything more on this topic, I was interrupted by the nurse, who said that she had given birth.
Sunday, November 23, 2014.
8:21 in the morning.
She gave birth to a boy weighing 2.6 pounds.
