When Mrs. Shen woke up, her room was full of people.
Three sons and daughters-in-law, two concubines and daughters, and Mr. Shen and Nanny Wang.
Everyone looked at him with a smile on their face.
Seeing her open her eyes, everyone congratulated her.
"Congratulations, mother."
"Congratulations, ma'am."
"Congratulations, Auntie."
Mrs. Shen's memory still stayed at the time before she fainted. Were these people here to annoy her? She was already so angry that she fainted, and they came to congratulate her!
She said angrily, "A bunch of people are standing in this room, and they don't even feel the heat. Please get out. I won't die!"
Shen Lao San was the first one who couldn't help but said happily, "Mom, you are pregnant, we are going to have a brother or sister!"
This news exploded in Mrs. Shen's mind like a thunderclap!
What? ? ?
I went to my daughter-in-law to induce labor, but ended up getting pregnant myself?
At her age, nearly 40, she has a child?
This...this...if I tell this to others, I'll be so embarrassed that I'll die!
She sat up suddenly, her face full of disbelief, "You bastard, I'm going to die, you dare to tease your mother!"
Mr. Shen quickly sat over and patted her on the back, "Madam, you must be careful now. Your body is precious now!"
For Shen Changfu, it is a miracle that he and his wife can still have children at this age. On the one hand, it shows that he is still strong and healthy. On the other hand, he feels that this is a blessing sent by God.
Mrs. Shen saw the looks in the eyes of the people in front of her and realized that this might be true. She was so ashamed that she lay back on the bed.
He shouted in shame and anger, "Get out of here right now!"
"Madam, don't be angry, take care of yourself!"
Except for Mr. Shen, everyone else retreated with smiles on their faces.
After leaving the main courtyard, Aunt Sun rarely held Aunt Zhao's hand, muttering as they walked, "Madam is already this old, and she's still pregnant. Master has been in my room so often these years, but I haven't been able to get pregnant again. I thought there was something wrong with Master's body, but now it seems that it's my own problem..."
It's rare that Aunt Sun suddenly has such a sharp mind.
Aunt Zhao smiled softly at her, "Sister, you look so radiant and healthy, what could be wrong with you? You're just not blessed enough. Look at Puning City, which lady can have three children in one? Only my wife has this blessing."
Having said that, the fact is, she had long known that neither of them would have children.
When she first came to the mansion as a concubine, she received an order from Madam Zhou: if she would protect the young lady of the Zhou family, now Madam Shen, for the rest of her life, she would ensure the health and well-being of everyone in her mother's family. The first order was to protect the three young masters and not allow any other illegitimate children to be born.
When she was pregnant with Ruonan, she prayed to God every day, hoping that she would have a daughter. Fortunately, God heard her prayers, so she named the child Ruonan. She hoped that her daughter would be as brave and strong as a boy.
After giving birth, she took the initiative to drink contraceptive soup.
When Aunt Sun entered the mansion, she was already pregnant with Zhaodi. At that time, she thought about whether to do something in advance, but she couldn't bear to do it after becoming a mother. Fortunately, she gave birth to a daughter in the end.
Later, in order to prevent future troubles, she also coaxed Aunt Sun to drink...
However, she added some very cold ingredients to the contraceptive soup for the two of them. Drinking it for a year would harm the body and make it difficult to get pregnant.
Aunt Sun was still complaining, "I shouldn't have listened to you at the beginning. I told you to drink contraceptive soup and wait until Zhaodi was older before having another child. If she really was pregnant, Madam could have taken Zhaodi away. She's in the mansion anyway. Now she can avoid having children. She won't be able to get pregnant again."
Perhaps out of apology, Aunt Zhao squeezed Aunt Sun's hand and said, "Daughters are the little cotton-padded jackets. Look at the three young masters. After they got daughters-in-law, they made their wives sigh and groan every day. This time, they were so angry that they fainted!"
"So what if she's a little girl? She'll all belong to someone else's family in the future... Alas! You're so short-sighted, I won't tell you anymore."
Aunt Sun let go of her hand and went back to her own yard. She had to find a folk remedy to try and see if she could have another child!
Behind her, Aunt Zhao looked at her figure and silently said in her heart, "I'm sorry!"
…
Jingxinzhai.
Liu Wanyun and two others were playing mahjong.
However, all three of them seemed a little absent-minded.
Liu Wanyun held a card and couldn't put it down for a long time.
"Auntie is considered an elderly mother, and there are no cesarean sections in this era. Thinking about the problems that may arise during the birth, I feel very nervous."
Zhang Xinyue turned the cards in front of her over and over again.
"Don't even mention her. I feel nauseous when I think about the three of us getting pregnant and having a baby!"
"Look at those men, they're all so happy. They don't realize at all that giving birth to a child is like going through hell."
"Alas, when I first got the news, I was quite happy, but now, I actually want to persuade Auntie not to keep the child!"
"Shut up! If they hear you, they'll think you're some kind of weirdo. Besides, there's no abortion surgery these days. If you don't want to have children, you still have to take medicine, and there might be problems down the road!"
Guan Xiaoyu listened to the two of them chattering, staring at her cards in thought for a while, "Xinyue, why don't you study medicine!"
It seems like this is a good idea.
Zhang Xinyue also fell into deep thought.
When she was a nurse before, she only knew some medical knowledge and simple medical theories. After coming here, she didn't know if it was because of the influence of her original body, but it seemed that she could easily remember some medical theories and prescriptions. If she studied gynecology seriously, she might really become a gynecological expert in Puning City.
Moreover, since I am a woman, it is more convenient for me to communicate about my medical conditions.
Zhang Xinyue: "Is it too late to learn now?"
Liu Wanyun: "Tell me, can we live our whole lives without having children?"
Zhang Xinyue: "Although I'm shy, I still really want to have a child of my own..."
Guan Xiaoyu: "Think about it, our lives may be in your hands!"
Then, Zhang Xinyue could no longer sit still, so she went back to find her father that day, brought back a bunch of medical books, and prepared to study hard.
The three daughters-in-law here were worried about fertility, and Mrs. Shen over there was also worried.
She didn't leave her yard for two days in a row, and had her meals delivered to her, so she didn't have to pay her respects.
Liu Wanyun and others thought that this was because the baby needed to take good care of itself during the first three months of pregnancy, and that the aunt might feel embarrassed, so they didn't take it too seriously.
On the third day, Nanny Wang came specially to invite the three of them over. As soon as they entered, they saw Madam Shen with a sad face, and she looked much more haggard than the previous two days.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you——"
