Chapter 340 Take her to induce labor
Jiang Duo immediately tensed up: "Doctor, what's wrong?"
"Your pregnancy... may be more than two."
Mingzhu was also stunned for a moment, looking down at her belly: "Three babies?"
The doctor frowned: "This instrument can't tell, but I think it's a 90% chance."
Mingzhu was speechless. This was the 1970s when medical technology was not well developed. Twins were enough to give her a headache, so why did she have to have three babies now?
Suddenly, she envied the protagonists in novels who traveled through time and gave birth to babies painlessly and became stepmothers.
Three babies, she was worried about it, not to mention Jiang Duo.
She glanced at Jiang Duo, and sure enough, Jiang Duo's face had frozen. He asked solemnly, "Doctor, have you delivered three babies before?"
"I delivered two."
"How are the two women doing?"
The doctor thought that the conditions of the two cases were not good. One of the babies suffocated to death because the mother took too long to deliver. The
other mother had heavy bleeding after delivery and could not be rescued.
But seeing that the pregnant woman's family was very nervous at the moment, the doctor could not say anything.
Mingzhu raised her hand and shook Jiang Duo's, then sat up from the examination bed: "Don't let your mind wander, it's okay, I will take care of my body."
The doctor also comforted her: "Everyone's physique is different, you just need to pay attention to your diet during pregnancy and ensure nutrition, and don't let the fetus get too big. The bigger the fetus, the greater the challenge for pregnant women."
Seeing that Jiang Duo's whole state was not right, Mingzhu knew that since the nightmare, giving birth to a child by herself had become the biggest shadow in Jiang Duo's heart. Now that he knew she was pregnant with her third child, Jiang Duo was afraid that he would be even more worried.
After thanking the doctor, she took Jiang Duo out of the hospital.
While waiting for the car on the roadside, she took Jiang Duo's arm and said, "Husband."
Jiang Duo came back to his senses and looked at her. Mingzhu smiled lightly, "Don't be afraid. This is not the old society. Today's medical methods are much better than in the past. If you can't give birth, we will perform a cesarean section."
Although the cesarean section rate in this era is extremely low and the success rate... needs to be improved, it is not hopeless.
Jiang Duo nodded, but there was not even a hint of relief on his serious face.
At this point, even if he really didn't want the child, it would be impossible to take Zhuzhu to induce labor, because the child was too old and the risk of induction was also unpredictable.
He really regretted it. He should have restrained himself. If he hadn't let Zhuzhu get pregnant, Zhuzhu wouldn't have to go through all this.
Jiang Duo didn't care about the impact at all, and hugged Mingzhu openly on the street.
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and raised her hand to gently stroke his back, with her face against his chest, whispering: "Jiang Duo, don't be afraid, I'm here." Jiang Duo
closed his eyes, "Zhuzhu, I'm sorry, it's my fault...you have to take such a risk."
Mingzhu looked up at him with a relieved smile on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is the fruit of our love, not a risk, don't scare yourself, you see, you are always so uneasy, I will be nervous too, pregnant women are nervous Not good."
Jiang Duo tried to restrain his expression, raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Well, I lost control of my emotions, I apologize, I won't think about it anymore, you and the children will be fine."
Mingzhu smiled and raised her hand, and imitated his movements and rubbed his head: "That's good enough, my husband is really good."
After returning home, Mingzhu made a healthy diet for herself. In order to be better in the future, she also put daily walking exercises on the schedule.
Looking at Mingzhu's plan, Jiang Duo told her that he would accompany her for a walk every day after dinner, and go around the street in front of Shenwu Gate.
In the evening, the two planned to go out for a walk after dinner, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw the Niu couple standing outside.
Niu's sister-in-law asked enthusiastically: "Sister, are you and Xiao Jiang going out?"
"We were planning to take a walk, sister-in-law. Are you and Brother Niu here to talk to us?"
"Yes, we have thought about the thing you mentioned to me this morning."
Mingzhu glanced towards the west wing and said, "Don't talk at the door, let's go inside and talk."
The four of them went back into the house.
Jiang Duo poured tea for the two of them. Mingzhu always had a warm smile on her face: "Brother Niu, sister-in-law, how did you discuss it?" The
Niu couple looked at each other, and the sister-in-law nodded: "We have thought about it, and you should have heard that my father-in-law is sick and has to take medicine all year round. The life of a family of four is really tight. We are very short of money, so we plan to sell this house... and give it to you."
Mingzhu was relieved: "What about after that? Where do you plan to move to?"
"My mother's family is in Changping. We thought that if it really doesn't work, we can move to my mother's family and temporarily move to a courtyard."
When mentioning this, the eldest brother of the Niu family sighed slightly, and his expression was a little solemn.
Mingzhu saw that he was not very willing to bring his family to live in the village of his wife's mother's family.
Maybe he also wanted to save face.
Mingzhu asked, "Are there no vacant houses around here that we can exchange for?"
Niu's wife was a little helpless: "Yes, there are, but the houses in these streets are not cheap. Seven or eight streets away, there is a complete small courtyard that is vacant. Your eldest brother also went to inquire about it this afternoon, but the owner wanted a thousand yuan before he was willing to exchange it. Although the house is a bit big, we think... it's not worth the money. We can't bear to spend it."
Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, that place is closer to the center of Beijing after all. As long as you have extra money, you should try to buy a house in the central area."
Brother Niu and Sister Niu were a little embarrassed. They naturally knew that the house here was good, but...
"I'm afraid that even if we live in a good house with a separate entrance, we won't be lucky enough to keep it, and we won't be able to keep it in the
end." Mingzhu knew their problem. The two hundred yuan left after buying the
house was too little, and they still couldn't live a comfortable life. After all, there was someone in the family who depended on medicine to survive, and they might have to sell the house to pay for medical treatment. Instead of this, it would be better to buy a cheap house far away from the beginning, so that they could live a more comfortable life.
This was of course a solution, but considering that they wanted to change houses because of her, she still planned to give them another tip so that they could have more choices.
"Sister-in-law, your family's current problem is about money, right? But there is only so much money. If you don't make money continuously, even if you have a thousand dollars, you will spend it all eventually. It would be better if you just buy a house nearby and I can help you find a way to make money in the long run."
The sister-in-law of the Niu family was a little surprised and looked at Brother Niu: "Sister, your brother Niu has no skills, and I have no education. Can two people like us have a way to make money continuously?"
Mingzhu nodded firmly: "Yes."
