Chapter 393 Birth and Raising

Afterwards, Du Jingyi whispered something in Gu Shaoyu's ear.

"I have something to say to the general later."

Gu Shaoyu nodded gently, completely unaware of how big of a shock he would soon be experiencing.

At the dinner table, Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang ate carefully. She was now seven months pregnant, and her belly had gradually become rounder than before. However, compared with Du Jingyi's previous three pregnancies, everyone said that her current baby might be a well-behaved daughter, so it was not very big.

When they heard this, the couple were happy.

First the flowers bloom and then the fruits bear. If they can have a daughter and then a son, they will be satisfied.

So, Du Jingyi said with concern.

"Don't worry, sister. Everything is ready. I estimate that you will give birth in the first month of the year, so I think it would be better for you to stay in a warm room during your confinement period. You and the baby won't be easily cold."

"My sister-in-law is right. Mother also means the same thing, so she said that she would help me clean it up after I get better and feel more stable."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi chuckled and spoke quite politely.

"Tell my aunt to take good care of the child. I'm here, so there's no need for her to worry so much. I'll tell them to clean up tomorrow and also get the midwife and wet nurse over, just in case."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang were both extremely grateful.

Although Gu Xiaochun was only pregnant with one child, she was older, so delivery would be more difficult. Dr. Xia happened to be coming today, so she thought of letting Dr. Xia take a look at the situation later so that everyone could feel more at ease.

Gu Xiaochun meant the same thing, but asked out of curiosity.

"But sister-in-law is not feeling well? Why did she suddenly invite Doctor Xia over?"

How could Du Jingyi have the nerve to ask Doctor Xia to come over, so he naturally found another excuse to fool him. Gu Shaoyu, on the other hand, looked calm, as if it was no big deal even if he was discovered.

After lunch, everyone went back to have lunch.

Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi and his wife returned to Qiwuyuan together.

The children had not been with their mother for a long time, so Du Jingyi naturally had to coax them to sleep before returning to the main house, but Gu Shaoyu was unable to do such a delicate job.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but as soon as he entered the room, Wen Ge'er and his gang started crying as if he was trying to rob someone. In the end, Du Jingyi had no choice but to go back first.

Gu Shaoyu was not idle after returning. He immediately thought about how to teach his three sons to be less clingy to their mother.

When he had thought it through, he saw Luo Yuan walking in.

"General, Doctor Xia is here."

"please."

"yes."

When Dr. Xia walked in, she saw that only Gu Shaoyu was there. She was a little surprised at first. After all, it was Du Jingyi who invited her here, so she thought it was Du Jingyi who was looking for her. She didn't expect it would be Gu Shaoyu.

But even though he was stunned for a moment, he started talking.

"Hello, General Gu."

"Doctor Xia, please take a seat."

"I wonder if General Gu wants me here for something important?"

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu glanced at Luo Yuan, and waited until he left before speaking solemnly.

"My wife's pregnancy and childbirth were all thanks to Doctor Xia. Since I came back, I have been busy with my grandmother's funeral, so I didn't have time to talk with Doctor Xia. Today I have some free time, so I specially invited Doctor Xia to come. First, to express my gratitude, and second, to ask if you have a permanent solution so that my wife can no longer get pregnant."

Doctor Xia raised his eyebrows. Is he asking for sterilization for himself?

This was the first time she had heard such an idea since she came to this era. After all, in her eyes, most people of this era were proud of the number of their offspring.

Seeing this, she asked curiously.

"Why would the general suddenly ask this?"

"Madam didn't have any accidents during childbirth because she was lucky to meet you. If she hadn't met you, I'm afraid the day of childbirth would be the day she passed away. So I don't want such an accident to happen again. But Madam seems to have a physique that is easy to get pregnant, so... Shao Yu came to ask Doctor Xia specifically. If there is a way, let Madam avoid the pain of childbirth."

Hearing this, Dr. Xia smiled, but this smile contained some admiration for Gu Shaoyu, and then he said.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Of course there is a way, but I don't have that thing. I can get an IUD, but I'm afraid that if I have to leave here, no one will be able to handle it. It will be troublesome if something happens to the young lady. So the best way is for the general to see if you have sterilization medicine here. If the general is worried that the lady will be hurt by it, he can take it himself."

In fact, there is another way, which is to sterilize Gu Shaoyu, but Dr. Xia has not learned it, so it would be useless even if she brought it up, and she naturally would not mention it again.

After hearing her words, Gu Shaoyu obviously started to think seriously, but was interrupted by Du Jingyi who came in.

"General, please don't think about it. There is no permanent solution in this world. Even if there is, it will cost you a price. I don't want you to experience that price, so forget it. Let's just be more careful."

Then, Du Jingyi nodded to Dr. Xia, smiled slightly and spoke kindly.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Doctor Xia. The general is just too concerned."

"It's okay. You're lucky to have met a husband who truly cares about you. It's rare."

Doctor Xia has always been outspoken, so Du Jingyi didn't think it was a big deal and added a sentence.

"My eldest sister is already seven months pregnant. Because she is a little older than usual, we would like to ask Doctor Xia to come over and take a look. If everything is fine, we can feel more at ease."

Doctor Xia nodded and said it was okay.

Although being pregnant at the age of 25 was normal in Dr. Xia's opinion, it was indeed a bit old for the people here, so she did not feel embarrassed to make this trip.

However, since it mainly relies on simple inspections, it won’t reveal so much information.

After asking Shuxiu to send Dr. Xia over, Du Jingyi pulled Gu Shaoyu to sit down, and then spoke seriously.

"General, you should give up those thoughts in your mind. If you take medicine that damages your foundation, I will blame myself. Pregnancy is a gift from God. If we get pregnant, we should welcome it well. If not, we should raise these four children carefully and don't worry about it all the time. Besides, didn't our grandmother leave us a box before she passed away? There are many contraceptive methods in it. We should pay more attention to it."
