Liang Mei was persuaded by everyone, and in the end she felt embarrassed. So she stopped insisting on her own ideas and thought that maybe everyone else was right.
So after finishing breakfast, Liang Mei began packing the things she needed to take to the hospital.
Are you going to stay with me in the hospital?
Liang Mei asked Lin Chaosheng, who nodded and said, "Of course, if I don't accompany my wife, who will?"
"Will the hospital provide you with a place to stay? You'll have to sleep on the hard floor. Can your body handle it? It's so cold today."
Liang Mei felt increasingly that this method wouldn't work, so she frowned and said, "Why don't you find a small hotel near the hospital? You've already spent the money, so what's a little more? It's better than getting sick from sleeping in the hospital."
"Okay, thank you, honey. You're the one who cares about me the most."
As Lin Chaosheng spoke, he placed both hands on Liang Mei's face.
"Have you heard? The Lin family is up to their old tricks again."
Many people in the village heard about this and started gossiping.
"These days, which woman doesn't have children? But their daughter-in-law is so precious that she had to be hospitalized two weeks in advance."
"I've been hospitalized for so long and I've never even seen what the hospital looks like. The baby was born on the kang (a heated brick bed).
“In the past, who among us didn’t give birth at home? Who ever went to the hospital? But he’s the one who saves money for months in advance and spends it like water. I don’t know how much money he’ll ever have enough to live on.”
"Why are you so nosy? You live in Jiangli, right? The Lin family can spend their money however they want. They're capable and they love their wives and daughters-in-law. Unlike you, you can't wait to hide your money."
"What era are we living in now? In the past, people had the means to do so. Now the country strongly supports giving birth in hospitals. This is a responsibility to both the mother and the child. Do you understand? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Money has nothing to do with this. It's about respect for life."
"Exactly, in the end it's because you don't have money, right? Otherwise, try it yourself. If you were pregnant with two children, would you dare to give birth alone at home?"
There were all sorts of rumors circulating in the village, but it didn't affect Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei at all.
"The two spent the afternoon packing their clothes, and the next morning after having dinner at home, they went to the hospital in the county town."
These days, there are already few people who can afford to stay in the hospital, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, there are even fewer people in the hospitals.
"You two are just lucky with your timing. There's still more than a month until the Chinese New Year. There aren't many people in the ward right now, so this big room is just for you two."
Upon hearing this, Liang Mei and Lin Chaosheng immediately beamed with joy.
Lin Chaosheng thanked the nurse, saying, "Thank you very much. These are eggs laid by our own wild chickens. Please take them and don't refuse. Use them to make a dish for your children and parents when you get home."
The young nurse never expected that her act of kindness would actually yield a basket of wild eggs.
At first glance, there are at least 10 of them, enough to feed their family for many days.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Just come find me at the nurses' station if you need anything in the future."
The nurse accepted the eggs, gave a few more safety instructions, and then left the ward.
"This ward is really spacious."
Lin Chaosheng put everything on the cabinet, and Liang Mei looked at the environment in the ward with bright eyes.
“When we’re better off in the future, I’ll buy a big villa in the city, and then you and the kids can bring your parents and we can all live together.”
This was the first time Liang Mei had ever heard the words "big villa." She looked at her husband curiously and asked, "What's a big villa?"
Lin Chaosheng gave a brief explanation, and then saw longing in his wife's eyes.
“What’s that word again? I heard Su Ning say it the other day, something like ‘ambitious but unrealistic’…” Liang Mei tugged at Lin Chaosheng’s sleeve and said, “Let’s just take it one step at a time and work hard. Our family has already escaped poverty, and life is getting better and better, so there’s no need to deliberately pursue making a lot of money.”
"Okay, okay, I understand, I'll do whatever you say."
Lin Chaosheng coaxed Liang Mei for a few moments, "Let's go, I'll go get your test results now, we need to go get tested."
After arriving at the hospital, the two rested for a few minutes and then underwent various examinations.
Because Liang Mei was pregnant with twins, she underwent many tests.
By the time the examination was finished, it was almost dark. Lin Chaosheng went straight to a restaurant and brought back two meals for Liang Mei.
"A serving of shredded pork with garlic sauce, a serving of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of rice."
Lin Chaosheng placed the food on the bedside table with a smile.
Liang Mei can eat a lot now. Since the twins turned 5 months old, his appetite has increased dramatically, but he hasn't gained much weight. Instead, his belly is getting bigger and bigger.
Liang Mei was extremely worried, but the other women in the village were incredibly envious. No matter how much they ate during their pregnancies, they only gained weight while their babies didn't grow. As a result, it was very difficult for them to regain their figures after giving birth.
But unexpectedly, things are completely reversed when it comes to Liang Mei.
However, Liang Mei also had her own worries. As her belly grew bigger and bigger, she was afraid that she would over-nourish herself and make the baby too big, which would make it difficult to give birth.
So when the doctor came to work the next day, they immediately went to see the doctor to check all the test reports.
"Doctor, does my belly feel a little too big? Will it make childbirth difficult?"
Liang Mei asked the doctor worriedly, then smiled at the young couple and said, "This is your first pregnancy, right? Don't worry, it's twins. It's normal for your belly to be this big. You won't have macrosomic babies."
"And even if you have difficulty giving birth naturally, you can have a cesarean section. Our cesarean section technology is very mature now, so there's no need to be afraid."
Liang Mei was stunned for a moment: "Doctor, what is a cesarean section?"
Lin Chaosheng knew about this: "It's just making a small incision in your stomach and taking the baby out directly from inside, so you don't have to go through a lot of pain and effort to give birth."
“Your husband is right, that’s pretty much the idea. They’ll give you anesthesia, so you won’t feel much pain. They’ll stitch up your incision after the baby is delivered, so don’t worry too much.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Mei nearly fainted from fright.
"Doctor, if I could give birth naturally, would I need a C-section? That sounds terrifying..."
