Ten months into her pregnancy, Qiao Xin woke up one morning with a stomachache.
Fortunately, Ji Huai was already prepared and quickly asked the midwife who lived next door to come over. He was invited out and paced back and forth at the door.
Ji's mother also rushed over to comfort him, but her brows were actually furrowed.
The two of them were waiting outside, but it was quiet inside. The longer they waited, the more anxious they became. Ji's mother couldn't sit still. Could something have happened
Just when they were panicking and anxious, a loud cry came from inside.
"It's happening, it's happening."
The midwife came out with the baby in her arms and said with a bright smile, "The young lady has given birth to a young lady."
The baby had just howled twice and was being held obediently. Qiao Xin had been well taken care of during her pregnancy, and she had been raised to be white and tender, with jet-black hair.
"It's so beautiful." When Ji's mother saw her, her heart melted. She came forward to hug her and asked about Qiao Xin's condition.
"Young mistress doesn't suffer much. She gave birth before half the time for half a stick of incense. She is a blessed person." The midwife praised with a smile.
Women always have to go through hell when they give birth to children. If they encounter a child who is not able to give birth well, they will die, and neither adults nor children can survive.
If you don't suffer, you are extremely lucky.
"It's good if you don't suffer." Ji's mother nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief.
If you think about it, Qiao Xin may really be a blessed person. Since she got married, she has also brought blessings to her family. Their business is getting better and better. In addition to hotels and bakeries, shrimp paste is also sold all over the country. everywhere.
They discussed with Ji Huai that after Qiao Xin gave birth to the child, and a few days later, they would move to Fucheng. Their business would get bigger and bigger, and they would also have maritime business. They would have to go to a more prosperous place to develop better.
Ji Huai had already walked in quickly and saw Qiao Xin lying on the bed with fine sweat on her forehead. She couldn't help feeling worried and distressed, "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
Qiao Xin shook her head. She was in good spirits. She wanted to get up, but was stopped by Ji Huai. She smiled and said, "I was a little scared at first. I came out without caring much for my daughter. My child loves me."
She said it easily, and she was a little happy, because her mother had difficulty giving birth to her, so she would inevitably be scared, fearing that something would happen to her.
"My head is covered with sweat, the corners of her mouth are white, and her complexion is not good. Isn't it uncomfortable?" Ji Huai wiped her sweat and carefully covered her with a quilt, "Have a good life and don't leave the root of the disease."
Qiao Xin lay down obediently.
The Ji family never wronged her. She was sitting comfortably in the confinement room, with several waves of people waiting on her. Even the medicinal meals were prepared by Ji Huai.
She didn't suffer much in the first place, and it was enough to raise her for a few days, but Ji Huai and Ji's mother refused to let her out and forced her to confine herself for two months.
When she came out, she had gained some flesh and her skin was fair and smooth. Ji Huai was very fond of her. She was getting better and better as she lived longer.
The maids who served her all said that she lived a happy and comfortable life, and they didn't know how much blessing she had cultivated in her previous life.
Qiao Xin herself felt contented, taking good care of her family and taking care of her family's business. Now the business was getting bigger and bigger. After all, Ji's mother and Ji's father were old and had limited energy, so she had to take over.
When my daughter was born, she was not tormented. She has always been a good child. She never cried or fussed, was not willful or tormented, and called her mother and father in a soft voice. Her heart almost melted.
As her daughter grows up, Ji's mother also hints that she will have another child.
Qiao Xin had this idea for a long time. The Ji family had only a small number of descendants, and there were only five of them during the Chinese New Year. Such a big yard was deserted, and the business was getting bigger and bigger. It was impossible for her daughter to manage it alone.
She would not suffer any consequences for having a baby, so she definitely wanted to have one.
Ji Huai was so kind to her, and their children were so well-behaved, so he definitely wanted to have more children for both of them.
Who would have thought that Ji Huai didn't want to have a baby, but he actually said that he would just raise a daughter.
Not only Qiao Xin was confused, but the Ji family was also confused.
Ji Huai said plausibly at the dinner table, "That's enough. If we have another child, we will have to devote half of our energy to it. Xiao Xin will have a hard time getting pregnant, so she won't give birth."
"What kind of fallacy is this? It hurts so much to give birth to one child and two children." Ji's mother was the first to object. Their family is also a wealthy family now. How can a wealthy family only give birth to one child? There are ten or eight.
"You are going to get married. If you don't have a younger brother to support you, what will you do in the future?" Ji's father thought more realistically.
It depends on the husband's family whether there is support from the mother's family.
Who knows what will happen to the in-laws in the future? They all went and Ji Yun was bullied. What should I do? After all, this is a male-dominated society, and it is also quite mean to girls.
"Then it's okay not to get married." Ji Huai replied casually.
At this time, Qiao Xin's eyes widened and she blushed, "Ms. sir, what are you talking about?"
If this is the case, you will be drowned with spit.
Ji Yun was eating, looking at his father, and said in a sweet voice, "I want a younger brother and a younger sister. They all have younger brothers and younger sisters. Why don't you have one? You want to have one too."
Ji Huai, who loved his daughter very much, ignored this incident and even lied to his daughter.
No one understood what he did.
Qiao Xin was ready to have a good talk with him. When it came to this matter, Ji Huai, who was usually very obedient to her, had a very tough attitude.
Not negotiable.
She understood that Ji Huai and she had been using birth control in the past few years. At first, she thought it was because her daughter was still young and her business was busy. He was also worried about her health, but she didn't expect that she didn't plan to have another baby.
Late that night, Ji Huai held her in his arms and was about to be intimate. Qiao Shen stopped his movement and said in a stubborn tone, "I want to give birth. If not, I won't let you have intimacy."
It was really hard for her to understand that, let alone a wealthy family, even ordinary people would be accused of being unfilial if they did not have children. A daughter-in-law of a wealthy family would also be divorced if she could not give birth to a boy.
Although the Ji family did not have such a rule, she did not say that she must have a boy. It is better to have two than one. Sisters can also be companions, so why not
As soon as she said this, Ji Huai stopped moving, then sighed and slept next to her.
Qiao Xin was stunned again. He had always been obsessed with her. Even during pregnancy, he would be cautious and intimate a few times. Now, in order not to have children, he wouldn't touch her anymore, right
"Ms. sir, you have gone too far!" She felt aggrieved.
Ji Huai turned to hug her, but Qiao Xin pulled her hand away. He said helplessly, "You were lucky when you gave birth to Yunyun, but you are not so lucky every time. If something goes wrong, what should Yunyun and I do? We will have a baby." That’s enough, we won’t give birth anymore.”
"So what if I have to suffer a little? It's not like I can't endure hardship? I can tolerate pain very well." Qiao Xin knew very well that a woman would go through this life. She grew up enduring hardship, and He punished her often. Now she is living a good life. Live a good life, but not squeamish.
Ji Huai thought about her previous life, when she had a massive hemorrhage when giving birth to her son, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood. She could indeed endure the pain without making a sound.
He felt cold all over and was a little scared. He forced her into his arms and said, "I don't want you to endure hardship. Forget it. I won't give birth."
"Ms. sir..." She was acting coquettishly, restless in his arms, and even took the initiative to kiss him, dragging her voice, "I'll give birth to you, I'll give you more babies, okay? I want to give birth."
The better he treats her, the more she wants to have more of their children.
If it were someone else, he would have more or less concubines, or even marry an equal wife, but he was as good to her as ever, never mentioned it during her pregnancy, and did his best to take care of her.
If she didn't give birth, I would really feel sorry for him, and she would not suffer at all if she gave birth to a child. She wanted to have a child so much.
"Sleep well." Ji Huai did not agree.
Qiao Xin was frustrated.
Later, she made trouble a few more times, but he was completely unmoved. If she said that only after having a baby can we be intimate, he who usually couldn't stop lusting after her would immediately calm down.
She was really freaking out.
Ji's mother couldn't understand either. Ji Yun was clamoring for younger siblings all day long. She also learned that Ji Huai had been taking birth control pill soup, which was very harmful to his health.
Qiao Xin didn't want him to drink either, so she told him not to drink. She would give birth if she was pregnant and wouldn't be unable to support him. How cute is Ji Yun
She even wanted to change his medicine, but Ji Huai guessed it and told her seriously, "If you change it, I will just drink Juezi soup."
"Ms. sir!" Qiao Xin was frightened and stamped her feet angrily. She just thought about it and wasn't so bold as to do something he didn't agree with. She was really frightened by his stubbornness.
Juezi Soup will damage your roots and your body will be in bad shape.
Ji Huai felt that this should prevent future troubles forever, so they raised their daughter. If the family property was too much for the other party to take care of, they would train other apprentices. As long as his daughter could live a life of food and clothing without any worries, he could also donate the extra money. Go out and do good deeds.
However, fate is always arranged.
He couldn't stop Qiao Xin from getting pregnant even if he drank contraceptive soup.
On New Year's Eve this year, Qiao Xin suddenly fainted. The doctor came and diagnosed her and said she was two months pregnant.
Ji's family was stunned.
Ji Huai has been using contraception, but Qiao Xin is actually pregnant? Ji's mother didn't dare to speak and looked a little weird, but she thought it was impossible.
Qiao Xin was dumbfounded after hearing this. She also became frightened. She looked at Ji Huai at a loss and said, "Ms. sir..."
In this case, would he believe her
She really didn't do anything to feel sorry for him.
Ji Huai frowned, his face gloomy, and he sent the doctor out again.
When he came back, the atmosphere in the room was a little weird. No one spoke. Ji's mother didn't dare to talk nonsense. She didn't believe that Qiao Xin would betray her son.
The two of them have a good relationship and are together all day long.
Ji Huai sat down and said softly, "I just asked the doctor that Bizi Decoction still has an impact on the fetus. If it has a major impact, it is likely that it will not be preserved and the child will not be easy to feed after birth. Let's keep a closer look."
Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't doubt her. She touched her belly, a little worried, "Then what can we do?"
"Get more rest and don't worry too much." Ji Huai comforted her.
Ji's mother also breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Huai didn't doubt it, so it shouldn't happen. He quickly said, "I'm going to find a cook to take care of Xiao Xin. She wants to have a good rest."
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
Next, except Ji Huai, the whole family hopes that the child will be healthy. After the first three months, he should be more stable.
Being pregnant with this child was more uncomfortable than when she was pregnant with Jiyun. Qiao Xin couldn't eat and felt dizzy, but the doctor said she was in good health.
Only Ji Huai did not want the child and expressed his desire to have Qiao Xin abort the child.
He thought simply, with a bit of reluctance, that it was also his child, but compared to Qiao Xin's life, this child seemed so insignificant.
When he expressed this idea, Qiao Xin immediately burst into tears, howling loudly.
Because Ji Huai is not a casual person, his words must have been carefully considered.
