Chapter 331 Don't Want a Child

That night he was awakened by a nightmare, and before he knew it, he broke out in a cold sweat. When he turned around and looked at Mingzhu sleeping beside him, his eyes were full of fear.

He comforted himself again and again, saying that it was just a dream. His mother once said when comforting others that dreams that can be remembered after waking up are all reversed.

Although he has never been superstitious, that night he was inexplicably frightened. Looking at Mingzhu's sleeping face, he repeatedly warned himself that dreams are reversed and he didn't need to worry too much.

He had let go of the grudge in his heart, but this morning, he woke up first and left the room at his uncle's house. Seeing Hou Xiaoqing busy making breakfast, he went over to help.

He chatted with Hou Xiaoqing for a few words, and the two talked about Mingzhu's pregnancy.

Hou Xiaoqing seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, last night Zhuzhu came out to drink water, only wrapped in your military coat, and I realized that she was less than three months pregnant, how come her belly was so big?"

Jiang Duo was puzzled: "She is pregnant, so is there anything wrong with having a big belly?"

Hou Xiaoqing smiled: "This is your first time being a father, and you usually don't care about other things, so you may not know that generally pregnant women start to show signs of pregnancy in the fourth month. Even if some women have a small belly in the third month, it will not be as big as Zhuzhu's."

Hearing Hou Xiaoqing say this, Jiang Duo was a little worried: "Aunt, is this... a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a bad thing. I just saw her pregnant belly last night and thought she was very likely pregnant with twins."

If other people heard this, they would be happy. However, a few days ago, Jiang Duo had just had a dream that was so real that he felt as if he was there, and he really couldn't be happy.

"Aunt, I'll take her to the hospital for a check-up later. Which Chinese medicine doctor can tell whether a pregnant woman is pregnant with twins?"

Hou Xiaoqing saw his nervous look and couldn't help but smile, "It's not easy to check. When you return to Beijing, Zhuzhu will be pregnant soon. You can do an ultrasound examination in the hospital over there. It's still early now, and the embryo is so small that it may not be able to detect anything."

Hou Xiaoqing thought that Jiang Duo's nervousness was expectation, but after she finished speaking, Jiang Duo's mood not only did not ease at all, but became even more nervous.

She patted Jiang Duo on the shoulder: "Xiao Duo, why are you so sad? If it's really twins, it's a happy thing. Look, which family is so lucky to have two babies in one pregnancy." Jiang

Duo's face was solemn: "I don't want such a blessing, I just want Zhuzhu to be well. Aunt, if you are really pregnant with twins, when you give birth, does it mean... the risk is doubled?"

Jiang Duo's words made Hou Xiaoqing silent for a moment: "Giving birth is inherently accompanied by risks, but you don't have to worry too much. This is not the old times. When Zhuzhu is about to reach her due date, you should go to the hospital early..."

"Does the hospital have any means to guarantee that she will not be in any danger?"

Looking at Jiang Duo's uneasy look, Hou Xiaoqing knew that he just felt sorry for Mingzhu. Mingzhu has found a reliable and good man.

She smiled and said, "No medical method is 100% certain, but... don't scare yourself. If it doesn't work, many obstetric departments in Beijing hospitals will perform cesarean sections. Zhuzhu will definitely be fine, so don't worry."

If Jiang Duo hadn't had that dream, he wouldn't care about anything.

But now, he cares.

He cares about that dream, whether Zhuzhu's belly is really filled with twins, whether Mingzhu will be in danger when giving birth in the future, and he doesn't want to hear anyone say anything that is detrimental to Zhuzhu's safety in any way.

Seeing that Jiang Duo didn't say a word, but just held her hand tighter, Mingzhu was a little breathless.

She nestled in his arms, tilted her head and looked at him: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you are so nervous? Chen Fengjiao just said a few nonsense words, you wouldn't be really scared, right?"

Jiang Duo let go of Mingzhu, stared at her lively eyes, and gently stroked her cheek with his hand: "A few days ago, I had a bad dream. I dreamed that you were pregnant with more than one child, but when you gave birth to the second one...something happened and you passed away..."

Mingzhu suddenly realized, remembering that when she was having dinner this morning, her aunt told her that she might be pregnant with twins, and asked her to pay attention to her pregnancy status and take good care of herself.

The words of her aunt coincided with Jiang Duo's not-so-good dream, and Chen Fengjiao cursed her about giving birth.

Mingzhu smiled, "No wonder you have been absent-minded since you left your aunt's house today. You won't be thinking about this all the time."

Jiang Duo held her shoulders and frowned, "Zhuzhu, this is not nonsense. I went to the clinic to see a military doctor this morning and learned about some details about giving birth. If it is really twins, whether it is a natural birth or a cesarean section, it will be a big challenge to your safety."

Mingzhu knew that cesarean sections were only widely promoted in China in the 1990s.

Under the current medical conditions, if it is really twins, it will be a big challenge to herself.

But...

"Not everyone who has twins will encounter danger, don't scare yourself."

Jiang Duo closed his eyes: "But my dream is not good, it's really not good, Zhuzhu, if you really have two children in your belly, what should I do? As long as you can stay with me healthy for the rest of my life, I would rather never have children."

Mingzhu frowned, raised her hand to cover her lower abdomen, as if she was afraid that the child in her belly would hear it, avoided his hand and took a step back.

"Jiang Duo, what are you talking about? What do you mean by not wanting children? The children are already here, you don't want them, do you want me to abort them?"

Hearing the word abort, Jiang Duo's heart suddenly shrank and he looked at Mingzhu.

He was just afraid that Zhuzhu would respond to his dream and really be pregnant with twins.

He didn't want Zhuzhu to encounter any danger in order to give birth to children for him. He wanted Zhuzhu to stay by his side forever.

Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Mingzhu's eyes were solemn.

"Jiang Duo, it's just a dream. Don't scare yourself, and don't have any bad thoughts, otherwise I will never forgive you."

This was the first time that Mingzhu spoke to Jiang Duo so coldly since they met.

He knew that it was his words just now that were a little out of line and made Zhuzhu angry.

He shouldn't do this.

He nodded, raised his hands again, and finally touched Mingzhu, hugging her tightly.

"I'm sorry, it's me... I made a fuss because of a dream. I won't let my imagination run wild anymore. Zhuzhu, you won't leave me."

Definitely not -
