"I feel that it must be really tough for you as a girl."
The Creator is so unfair.
Why can't men share some of the pain of procreation?
Lin Chuxia smiled and said, "You only just realized that? Many girls have to endure menstrual cramps every month. I'm lucky; although I'm a bit sleepy when my period comes, at least I don't experience pain. Some girls faint when the pain gets really bad."
Gu Yuheng didn't speak, but gently took her hand in his.
"By the way, how did you know that pregnancy is quite difficult for women?" Lin Chuxia asked curiously.
"That's what Mom said. She often nags me about how much suffering women endure during childbirth, and tells me to take good care of you. She says that girls these days are obsessed with being thin, even at the expense of their health, and tells me not to follow her example." After hearing it so many times, he naturally understood some of it.
However, he realized today that he really knew too little about women's knowledge.
Gu Qi is right, he is not considerate enough.
He was a terrible husband, but his little girl still praised him.
Gu Yuheng felt a strange sense of unease and oppression in his heart.
Lin Chuxia rested her chin on her hand: "I see... It seems like Mom and Dad really want us to have a child."
During the few times I met my mother-in-law, she would give me some nourishing soups and we would often talk about having children.
Gu Yuheng understood what Lin Chuxia was worried about, gently patted the top of her head, and said, "It's okay. Whether we have children or not is our business, and they already have Jin Yan as their grandson, so you don't need to feel pressured."
Gu Jinyan is the son of Gu Yuheng's older brother. He is already a senior in high school this year, and is only one year younger than Lin Chuxia.
The older generation tended to marry and have children early. Madam Gu gave birth to her eldest son when she was around twenty, but her third son, Gu Yuheng, was born when she was nearly forty. In other words, there was an age difference of almost 20 years between the eldest and third sons of the Gu family.
A few years after Gu Yuheng was born, the eldest grandson of the Gu family was also born.
Lin Chuxia had also met Gu Jinyan. At that time, she and Gu Yuheng had just registered their marriage, and the rest of the Gu family members had also arrived at Jinxiu Valley. That was the first time she had met the other members of the Gu family.
Gu Jinyan appears to be a cheerful and handsome young man, but for some reason, he seems somewhat afraid of her.
What Lin Chuxia didn't know was that Gu Jinyan was afraid of her because Gu Yuheng had repeatedly warned him: Stay away from your aunt!
Worried that Lin Chuxia might overthink things, Gu Yuheng explained again, "My parents never expected me to give them a grandson. They had already prepared for me to grow old alone. So, you don't need to worry about it."
"I'm not worried." Actually, she had sensed it too. Although every time she met her mother-in-law, she felt like her mother-in-law was "urging" her to have a baby, she didn't feel that the old lady was in a hurry.
Her mother-in-law was mostly making preparations in advance for her future pregnancies.
Hongxiu had explained this to her as well. Apparently, when Madam Gu was pregnant with Gu Yuheng, her health was not very good, and because she was an older mother, she suffered a lot, which is why she paid so much attention to health preservation.
In fact, it wasn't just her daughter-in-law; even Hongxiu's daughter was frequently pressured by her mother-in-law to have children through this kind of dietary therapy after she got married.
