Chapter 134 This contract master is quite a character.
"You really don't want to have a child with me?" Gu Chenglin asked, his hands gripping her waist, his voice icy.
"Didn't I tell you? No, we're not having any more. Besides, you already have a child."
A pang of pain flashed in Gu Chenglin's eyes. He let out a deep breath and asked weakly, "Why, Xiao Jin? Are you disgusted with me?"
That woman didn't want to have her own child; that woman didn't want to be a mother.
Why is she refusing him like this? Does she still want to leave him?
She still dislikes him because he's been married before, because he has two children, or because he's old...
Dongfang Jin was startled by the pain in his eyes and quickly shouted, "Stop, stop, stop! Gu Chenglin! Let me tell you again, I don't want to have children because it hurts, it really hurts, I'm really afraid of pain."
Furthermore, I hear the screams of pain during childbirth, and hearing that sound terrifies me.
Level 10? That must hurt so much! I never want to experience something like that in my life.
Gu Chenglin narrowed his eyes: "Have you experienced it?"
Dongfang Jin reached out and slapped him on the forehead: "What are you thinking? I didn't even have a boyfriend before, who would I have a baby with?"
That's my older sister. I happened to be next to her when she gave birth.
Didn't I tell you that my older sister and brother are twins?
So, when the eldest sister was pregnant, she was carrying twins, and she gave birth at her home.
Do you know what? I witnessed her entire childbirth process with my own eyes.
Every time my older sister shouts, my heart trembles and my body aches.
She screamed in pain, and do you know how I felt?
I feel pain all over my body.
Later, I looked up some information, which said that women experience pain of level 10 or higher during childbirth.
Level 10? That must hurt so much!
Later, after my sister-in-law heard what I said, she was also afraid of pain, and when she gave birth, she decisively chose a cesarean section.
Although it doesn't hurt, it made an incision on my stomach, and there's a long scar here.
I can tolerate that, but I can't, it's too ugly!
Therefore, I am determined not to have children; I don't want to experience any of those situations.
Another point is that your ancient medical conditions were too poor.
She doesn't want to die because of having a child.
Not cost-effective.
Gu Chenglin was shocked: "C-section? A cesarean section? How can a person survive if you make an incision in their abdomen?"
Dongfang Jin pointed to her lower abdomen and gestured to him: "Yes, we can make an incision here in the abdomen, take the baby out from here, and then sew it up."
This surgery is performed in almost every hospital in our world.
"That's possible? What about the person? Can they really still be alive?"
"Sure, you were wounded on the battlefield and no doctor stitched up your wounds?"
How should the wound be stitched up?
"Get a needle and thread?"
"Does your world really have such advanced medical skills?"
"Hey, hey, hey, if you get any more excited, you're going to snap my back."
"Hey, there's a computer here, isn't there? Look it up yourself. I don't know anything about this, I can't teach you. My profession isn't medicine."
She just coasted through her education, she's all show and no substance.
Nothing I do works.
Seeing how agitated he was, Dongfang Jin guessed that they didn't have the concept of suture surgery here.
“Okay,” if it could be done practically like farming, he could write it down and give it to Long Jiu. As for how to do it, that would be up to that person.
Dongfang Jin looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "So you're keeping a sullen face because of this, not because I have a terminal illness?"
As one wishes……
Whoops!
This patron is a real character.
How is this being linked to a terminal illness again?
With the Ruyi Realm and the Five Elements Spring, it's just a minor cold ailment. Once your level increases, a small pharmacy will appear.
This illness can be treated in no time.
Gu Chenglin nodded: "Yes, I just want a child of our own."
Dongfang Jin softened a little under his gaze: "We'll talk about it later. Didn't Grandpa Xu say that I'm not good at getting pregnant? So let's just let nature take its course."
"it is good."
Gu Chenglin knew that she had given in, so he couldn't push her any further.
After that, Gu Chenglin clumsily pressed the letters with his index fingers to look up information, while Dongfang Jin lay on his lap playing a spot-the-difference game.
That's the only thing her brain can handle.
"Jin-jie, the medicine is ready."
Gu Chenglin pressed her down on the sofa: "Sit still, I'll go get the medicine."
"Ah."
……
Outer courtyard.
Yang Zhu stared at Gu Caiwei in surprise: "Are you sure your stepmother is serious?"
What was Dongfang Jin thinking? A woman without her own child.
After that...
She already knew that Tian Xiaocao was not dead.
This was something her husband inadvertently let slip: she wasn't dead, but her two children were still alive.
If Tian Xiaocao comes back in the future...
No, I must persuade her when I have time. She must have her own child.
You know, Little Stone remembers his biological mother. No matter how bad his biological mother is, she is still his biological mother.
What will Xiao Jin do then?
Jun Wenhui sighed: "She is still young, and Grandpa Xu said he couldn't tell what extremely cold food she had eaten."
If I had known it could be cured, what would I have done...?
Aunt Gu tied a knot in the thread: "Let's not worry about this. Xiao Jin is a shrewd person."
Let nature take its course when it comes to having children; you can't force it.
Look at the Lin family, isn't that a perfect example?
The wives who married into Lin Min and Lin Jiang's families within a year all had three or four children.
"Now that the harvest is better, most babies are born and survive. When we were kids, only a few members of a family would survive."
Yang Zhu chimed in, "That's right, my mother said that back then people didn't know where their next meal would come from."
When renting land, farmers had to pay 50% to the landlord, 40% to the land tax, and only 10% to themselves. Even with everyone tightening their belts, they still couldn't get their summer harvest.
Later, people were overjoyed when the land reclamation finally started, hoping to have enough to eat. But then taxes were increased, and if they couldn't pay, they had to take their land as collateral...
Then came that reform; we got land, but we still faced high taxes… And it's only been a few years!”
Fortunately, in her hometown, almost every family makes sauce and can make some money from it, and some people also raise ducks and make some money from it.
Jun Wenhui listened to their conversation. She couldn't understand what it felt like, but she experienced hunger this time.
Are you still paying 50% tax?
Aunt Gu shook her head: "Taxes are still paid, although only 30%, but that's enough to make people suffer."
Grain yields are low; the best land is all occupied by the wealthy, and any reclaimed land takes three to five years to mature into fertile fields.
"If a contiguous area of land is properly cultivated, it will attract the attention of wealthy people who will go to great lengths to buy it."
If we don't sell, we'll offend them.
There's a family on my mother's side of the land, right? They've cleared out a large plot of land at the foot of the green hills.
That family practically treated that land like their ancestors, and after finally managing to cultivate it well, they were just waiting for a good harvest the following year.
Unexpectedly, he was chosen by a wealthy man in the county who gave the family ten taels of silver per mu (a Chinese unit of land area, approximately 0.165 acres) as dowry for his daughter.
That family refused to sell, no matter what. The entire family of nearly twenty people was counting on this land for a good harvest next year so that everyone could have enough to eat.
But what happened next?
When the crops in that family's field were ripe and ready for harvest, a fire suddenly broke out, burning all the crops to the ground and also damaging the land of several neighboring families.
Their own crops failed, and they also faced having to pay compensation to other people...
The family was no longer united as a result, but with the elders keeping them in check, they dared not speak out.
