Chapter 7 Suspected multiple births
After hearing Zhang Chunnuan's explanation, Wang Dongxue felt a little embarrassed.
Originally, she was just curious and asked casually. She never thought that Sister Chunnuan would take it seriously and explain to herself so seriously.
"If you want shade, you need a yellow kudzu tree. My fifth sister-in-law planted one at her house the year before last, and it's lush and leafy this year, and it's cooler!"
Zhang Chunnuan thought about it after hearing this, and there was no information about Wang Dongxue's sisters-in-law in her memory.
But it's normal not to. The original owner had only met Wang Dongxue once after being married for more than half a year. He only knew that she was in the same grade as him in junior high school, but in a different class.
I only learned other information from people in the village talking about it, and I am not sure whether the rumors are true or false.
Wang Dongxue saw her smiling and listening attentively, and the conversation became more interesting for a while.
"Sister Chunnuan, let me tell you, my fifth sister-in-law's home is far away. They are surrounded by stone mountains and there is very little land. People in the village are raising sheep on the mountains."
"The last time I went there to play, the ewe at my father-in-law's house had just given birth to a lamb. I wanted to take it home and raise it, but my parents wouldn't let me. They said I was about to go out, and they even went to my parents' house to take care of things.
.”
"How can this be called taking over things? It's not like I won't go back after I get married! But Hua Cheng said that after harvesting the beans, he would take me to Sister Wu's village and catch a lamb for me to raise.
Stay!"
"Dongxue!" Zhang Chunnuan took advantage of Wang Dongxue's break to drink water and asked quickly: "Does your fifth sister-in-law's family have a ewe that has just given birth?"
Wang Dongxue blinked her eyes and said uncertainly: "I don't know about that... My parents-in-law don't have it, but other families in their village have designated it. Sister Chunnuan, why do you ask this?"
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
Zhang Chunnuan said this, but in his heart he was thinking about finding a pair of goats to put on the farm as breeding sheep.
But now that she is pregnant, even if she knew where to buy sheep, she would not be able to go there.
Zhang Chunnuan looked at Wang Dongxue who was immersed in drinking water, and then asked:
"Dongxue, when you and Hua Cheng go to pick up the lamb, can you help me buy a ewe that has just given birth?"
Wang Dongxue raised her head, looked at Zhang Chunnuan strangely for a while, made gestures on her chest with her free hand, and then said:
"Sister Chun Nuan, are you worried that you don't have enough milk? Don't worry, my five sisters-in-law are not as big as you, and they can feed my little nieces and nephews well. Yours is so big, maybe there will be some leftover.
"
When Zhang Chunnuan heard this, her head was full of black lines. Didn't it mean that people in this era are very conservative?
She finally knew that this little girl was not only a chatterbox, but also had no skills in speaking.
"Alas..." Zhang Chunnuan sighed exaggeratedly, "Dongxue, you don't know how difficult I am..."
Wang Dongxue drank water until she was full, burped, and looked at her with big puzzled eyes, as if to say, "Tell me what's bothering you."
"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll look for it myself later."
Hearing what she said, Wang Dongxue had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay, can't I promise? Sister Chunnuan, don't run around, I'm scared to see you."
Speaking of belly, Wang Dongxue looked at Zhang Chunnuan's expression and asked cautiously: "Sister Chunnuan, do you feel... your belly is a bit too big."
"Is it big?" Zhang Chunnuan gently stroked her belly. The child in her belly seemed to feel her touch and began to respond to her.
The first fetal movement after traveling through time had frightened her, and now she just felt so weak inside.
Wang Dongxue saw her smile radiating motherly love, picked up the enamel cup, walked up to her, looked left and right.
Sometimes he raised his hand to rub his chin, sometimes he nodded and shook his head. After a while, he finally said:
"That's right! Your belly is really too big! I have seen all the five sisters-in-law in my mother's family carrying children, and none of them are as big as yours!
Sister Chunnuan, have you gone to the hospital for a checkup? Could it be that you are pregnant with two or even three? I heard..."
At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth with regret and did not continue.
Zhang Chunnuan's heart skipped a beat after hearing her words.
The original owner had no memory of a normal woman's pregnancy for comparison, and before she time traveled, not to mention children, there were no men, and it was impossible to know the size of a normal belly during a pregnancy.
Comparatively speaking, Wang Dongxue, who has five sisters-in-law at home, must have more experience, and she said so definitely.
Maybe, probably, maybe, maybe I really have more than one in my belly...
Thinking of this, Zhang Chunnuan's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
Giving birth to a child is like stepping into hell.
In the era she lived in, with the rapid development of medical technology, it was inevitable for mothers to die in the delivery room, let alone now.
The child in her belly seemed to feel her uneasiness, the fetal movements became more frequent, and her stomach gradually began to hurt.
Wang Dongxue saw that Zhang Chunnuan's face turned pale, and she raised her hand to slap her mouth twice. It was all because of her bad mouth!
"Sister Chun Nuan, don't scare yourself. You also know that I'm just a little girl, so how can I be so sure? Just think that I farted just now, and we'll keep it safe."
Wang Dongxue was anxious and panicked, sweating profusely.
She had just promised her father-in-law and Father Shen to send the person home safely. Now it was better, and the problem was solved!
At this time, Zhang Chunnuan also realized that she should not have too much emotional fluctuations, and quickly touched her belly with both hands to comfort the child.
Finally, the pain in her stomach disappeared. When she saw Wang Dongxue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she burst out laughing and said softly:
"I know, look at you, how anxious you are."
Wang Dongxue carefully studied the expression on Zhang Chunnuan's face and made sure again and again that she was fine, and then she felt relieved.
As soon as she let out a sigh of relief, her legs suddenly became weak and she fell to the ground without paying attention.
"Hey, why are you sitting on the floor! Get up quickly! The floor is very dirty."
Wang Dongxue stood up and asked again: "Sister Chunnuan, are you really okay?
If we feel uncomfortable, don't tell us. If we need to go to the health center, we will go to the health center. If we need to go to the county, we will go to the county.
Our children are important, but we ourselves are even more important. No one should be wronged by anyone else!"
Zhang Chunnuan smiled and waved her hand: "I'm really fine. If anything happens, I will definitely tell you. Don't worry..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang Dongxue ran out, leaving only one sentence: "No! I have to ask my mother-in-law to come and take a look!"
Zhang Chunnuan could only look at Wang Dongxue's leaving figure and muttered to himself: "Put down the cup before leaving..."
She stood up holding on to the stool, taking a break every step of the way, walked slowly to the kitchen, waved her hand and took the fish and shrimp in the wooden basin into the manor pond.
Just as I was about to walk out, I suddenly felt a severe pain in my stomach.
At that time she couldn't stand anymore and fell to the ground.
Wang Dongxue's cry suddenly came from outside the house: "Sister Chunnuan, where are you? I'll bring my mother-in-law to you!"
Zhang Chunnuan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, so she had to use all her strength to push the tub down.
The sound attracted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Wang Dongxue exclaimed: "Sister Chunnuan!"
Her mother-in-law grabbed her and quickly stepped forward to check.
Zhang Chunnuan's whole body trembled with pain, and he begged hoarsely: "Aunt Guihua, please...ah!"
