Chapter 142 Worshiping Buddha
"What are you looking at?" Lin Nuan asked.
She didn't notice it at first, but when talking about children, Xiao Jingyan frequently looked at her belly, and even if she was slow, she noticed it.
Xiao Jingyan did not hide the desire and expectation in his eyes at all. He walked steadily to Lin Nuan and reached out to gently touch her slightly bulging belly. The gentle touch seemed to convey endless love and concern.
"Do you think there might be a life growing inside here that belongs to both of us?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of excitement that was barely perceptible.
Lin Nuan's eyes also fell on her belly. The originally calm heart lake was now rippling, and she began to look forward to the possibilities of the future. She couldn't help but fall into fantasy. If there really was a little life growing quietly in her belly... This thought made her heart surge with warm anticipation.
"Do you prefer boys or girls?" she asked softly, with a twinkle in her eyes.
Xiao Jingyan smiled slightly, hugged Lin Nuan in his arms, and said gently: "Whether it is a boy or a girl, they are the witnesses of our love and the most precious gifts given to us by God. I like them all."
It has to be said that marrying a man like Xiao Jingyan is really the ideal partner in the hearts of many women.
After getting married, you don’t have to serve your parents-in-law, you won’t have conflicts with them, you can make your own decisions about everything, and they won’t keep an eye on your belly every day.
Think about my second sister Lin Wan. She has been married for only one year and has no children, but her mother-in-law wants to take a concubine for her second brother-in-law. If her second brother-in-law had not disagreed, she would probably have several concubines by now. Her mother-in-law couldn't bear to take it out on her own son, so she always found fault with her. Her life was so depressing.
The next day.
Lin Nuan had made an appointment with her mother and two sisters to meet at the city gate yesterday.
The carriages of the four families gathered outside the city gate. After meeting, the three sisters all got on Lin's mother's carriage.
Lin Nuan still felt that it was better to find a good doctor than to pray to God. Although there were few doctors who treated women in this era, there were still some, especially for women from wealthy families. They should have their own channels and should be able to find one.
"Second sister, when you go back this time, you must relax and keep a good mood. Also, ask around to see if there is a sage who can treat you." Then he turned to look at Lin's mother and Lin Yao and continued, "Mom, eldest sister, you can also help look for it. I will also keep an eye out. When I find it, I will help second sister to take a good look. If there is really a problem, treat it as soon as possible. After it is cured and the baby is born, second sister's mother-in-law will naturally not make things difficult for her. In the end, if it is not second sister's problem, but second brother-in-law's problem that she has no children, then we have the upper hand, and second sister's mother-in-law will be even more afraid to let second brother-in-law take a concubine."
In short, if a woman wants to live well in her husband's family, she must first establish herself. But now Lin Wan is not in the right. Since ancient times, most men have three wives and four concubines. It is said that the three unfilial acts are not having a son and the worst is not having a daughter. If Lin Wan cannot give birth to a child, it will be the biggest sin.
So those are all feudal dregs, but even in the 21st century, monogamy is the norm. If there are no children after marriage, nine out of ten couples will divorce.
This inherent thinking is difficult to change, and few people can think positively.
Even if it is finally found out that Lin Wan is not guilty, her mother-in-law might still find a concubine for her second brother-in-law.
Lin Wan also knew that Lin Nuan was doing this for her own good, but there were very few gynecological experts, so it was not easy to find one.
She forced a smile. Her mother, sister and younger sister were all worried about her, and she felt a little guilty.
"My mother-in-law said that if I can't get pregnant within a year, she will help my husband find a concubine. Actually, I have come to terms with it. If I can't get pregnant within a year, I will take the initiative to help my husband find a concubine."
Lin's mother and Lin Yao sighed, said comforting words, and promised to help find a gynecologist, but their expressions looked as if Lin Wan really couldn't have children.
Lin Nuan felt relieved after hearing the one-year agreement, because she knew that Lin Wan would definitely get pregnant within a year. One month before returning to the game, when she went back to her parents' home, she clearly remembered hearing Lin's mother tell her that her second sister was pregnant. Lin's mother was very happy at that time.
However, she was very busy at that time and didn't know whether her second sister got pregnant because the doctor cured her illness or because she got pregnant naturally.
Now looking at Lin Wan's expression, it is clear that she has no confidence in herself.
Lin Nuan was furious when she heard that Lin was willing to take the initiative to help her husband take a concubine.
"Second sister, there is still a year left. Maybe after a year, or even a few months, you will be pregnant. What I said before is not groundless. I have read some medical books when I was idle at home. They said that keeping a happy mood is beneficial to pregnancy. The more anxious and irritable you are, the more likely you are not to get pregnant in September. So don't put so much pressure on yourself and let everything take its course. The book also says when couples can have sex to get pregnant. When I go back, I will look through the medical books and write down those days for you. As long as you and your brother-in-law have a good relationship, you will definitely have a child soon."
Lin Nuan looked serious, and the other three people in the carriage believed what she said. Lin Yao was also particularly supportive at this time.
"Little sister, what you said is true. Although your brother-in-law and I have given birth to our eldest sister, she is already two years old and I still haven't gotten pregnant. Although my mother-in-law didn't urge me like your second sister's mother-in-law did, and didn't say she wanted to give your eldest brother-in-law a concubine, I know she is also anxious. It's just that your eldest brother-in-law is blocking me from the front. I also hope to have another son as soon as possible. When the time comes, you can give me a copy of the house and I will try that method as well."
Lin Nuan agreed immediately and her eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Yao's belly. In fact, she was not sure. Calculating the date, her eldest sister might be pregnant now. She attended the full moon wine celebration of her eldest sister's brother before she knew that her second sister was pregnant.
Lin Wan seemed to be more relaxed after being persuaded by her family. Lin Nuan felt that she was putting too much pressure on herself, or rather, it was her mother-in-law who put too much pressure on her. If she wanted her second sister to relax and maintain a happy mood, it would be better for her to see her mother-in-law less often.
However, this proposal was a bit provocative. After all, dividing a family was not a glorious thing in ancient times. Lin Nuan had to think carefully and come up with a solution before proposing it.
The mother and her two daughters chatted along the way, and time passed quickly. Soon they arrived at the temple.
