Chapter 1728 - 1722: Are You Kidding Me?
Grabbing Wang Yongzhu’s hand, her eyes lit up with surprise: "Girl, you look like you’re having dry heaves, could it be that you’re pregnant?"
Wang Yongzhu’s heart skipped a beat, could it really be that coincidental?
Old Granny Zhang was already anxious and wanted to instruct the coachman outside to drive the carriage to the best pharmacy in town to get a doctor to come and check her pulse.
Wang Yongzhu quickly grabbed Old Granny Zhang, feeling quite helpless: "Mom, have you forgotten that your daughter knows how to check pulses?"
Old Granny Zhang suddenly remembered that her daughter was half a doctor too.
She hurriedly urged: "Quick, check your pulse and see if you’re pregnant?"
Wang Yongzhu signaled the coachman to pull over and stop the carriage on the roadside. She took a deep breath before checking her own pulse, and after a while, she shook her head slightly at Old Granny Zhang.
"Not pregnant? Then why were you retching earlier? Are you not feeling well somewhere?" Old Granny Zhang felt disappointed upon hearing she wasn’t pregnant, but she immediately showed concern for her daughter’s health.
The grandson hasn’t even appeared yet, but the daughter is her precious one; no matter how much she wishes for a grandson, her daughter is the top priority.
Wang Yongzhu thought of something, her expression not looking so good, but upon hearing Old Granny Zhang’s concern, she still smiled: "Mom, I’m alright, I probably just nauseated myself from talking—"
Old Granny Zhang chided and patted Wang Yongzhu, seemingly scolding her for being childish despite her age.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu’s unsightly face, she assumed her daughter was distressed about not being pregnant, and immediately comforted her: "If it’s a no, then it’s a no, no rush. Kids come when they are fated; perhaps the Goddess of Childbirth is still picking out the plumpest baby to gift us because she sees how well my daughter and son-in-law get along!"
"As the saying goes, good food isn’t afraid to be late, nor a good thing afraid to take time. We’ll wait, don’t be anxious. Mom’s just urging out of habit, considering you two have been married for just over a year, with several months apart in between, it hasn’t been a whole year. It’s normal; there are those who don’t conceive for three years, but once they do, it’s like having a litter, one each year!"
"They say daughters take after their mothers, and your mom had five of you siblings so surely you’re going to be fruitful too. In the future, you might be overwhelmed by how noisy they are!"
Wang Yongzhu internalized her worries, refraining from showing them before Old Granny Zhang, and indulged her with a few laughs and chats.
Returning to the County Yamen, Song Chongjin was in the main office, and after escorting Old Granny Zhang back to her room to rest, Wang Yongzhu finally returned to her own room.
After dismissing those serving her, she lay on the kang bed, appearing to rest her eyes but actually summoning Chen Xing in her mind.
She hadn’t summoned Chen Xing in a long while, and it was awhile before Chen Xing responded: "Hello, esteemed lady, how may Chen Xing serve you?"
Wang Yongzhu pondered for a moment before asking: "There was one question I forgot to ask last time, regarding any after-effects of transmigrating into Wang Yongzhu’s body in this timeline? Such as, in terms of fertility?"
Previously she hadn’t thought much of it, but after planning for pregnancy, she stopped contraception.
With a harmonious relationship with Song Chongjin, and of her own accord, someone with an ordinary physique should have already conceived.
But today, after checking her own pulse, there was no trace of pregnancy; instead, her pulse felt stronger than an average man’s, full of vitality.
Recalling what Xiao Tiantian mentioned, the physique of this body is rare, like Song Chongjin’s, a Level B Physique, a naturally compatible pair.
She couldn’t help but suspect, but estimated that Chen Xing might know the answer.
Sure enough, after a moment’s silence, Chen Xing explained a whole lot.
Wang Yongzhu barely understood that although she showed no visible issues after transmigrating into this timeline’s body, the change in magnetic field altered the body’s internal structure.
Hence, it causes indescribable changes, and over time, the body’s alterations increase.
For someone like Wang Yongzhu, the magnetic field affects her body largely, impacting her reproductive capabilities significantly, coupled with Song Chongjin also having a Level B Physique,
the higher the physique level, the more difficult reproduction is inherently. Given their current physiques, potential offspring are likely to be Level A Physique, requiring superior nutritional resources and environmental conditions.
At present, this timeline cannot satisfy the requirements for the mother’s pregnancy, so the body instinctively rejects the possibility of pregnancy to ensure the mother’s safety.
In short, to put it fundamentally, Wang Yongzhu’s body prohibits pregnancy for her own safety.
Wang Yongzhu was dumbstruck.
She had invested a lot of time building her mental fortitude, conflicted with Song Chongjin for many days, all for nothing?
Could not get pregnant at all? How absurd!
Initially, Wang Yongzhu wasn’t urgent about getting pregnant, even avoided it slightly.
Yet, now faced with her inability to conceive, she felt discomforted; not wanting to have children and inability to have children are similar paths but imply different meanings.
Noticing Wang Yongzhu’s long silence, Chen Xing paused briefly, then tentatively suggested: "Esteemed lady, if you desire to procreate, you might consider the Alliance’s gestational pouch."
Following which, several advertisements regarding the gestational pouch were implanted in Wang Yongzhu’s mind.
The gestational pouch was akin to a test-tube baby, but more advanced technology.
It bypasses implantation in the mother’s body, having dedicated pouches identical to the mother’s structure.
Inside contains various nutrients suitable for fetal development, monitoring fetal growth continuously, adjusting nutritional solutions accordingly to ensure healthful growth.
Parents merely need to apply for a gestational pouch, provide what’s required, then step back and return in ten months to embrace their child, guaranteed to be their own flesh and blood.
Is there really such good fortune?
Wang Yongzhu’s eyes gleamed.
Honestly speaking, who isn’t afraid of pregnancy? How many pregnant women worldwide remain unscathed with unchanged figure and form after conceiving?
Most endure bodily changes, sallow skin with spots, swelling, stretch marks, along with various physiological discomforts during pregnancy.
Even postpartum doesn’t offer relief, beginning with a month-long confinement; improperly rested, postpartum symptoms like hair loss, depression await.
No one is innately masochistic, seeking hardship.
If one could so easily birth a child with shared blood, akin to winning a free prize, who wouldn’t be pleased?
Despite knowing it’s an advertisement, Wang Yongzhu couldn’t help but be tempted.
Immediately, she consulted Chen Xing, "Are these advertisements genuine? Is there any possibility that they are false? Are there truly no side effects? Can it be this easy? How do I place an order? Can I purchase it from here..."
A torrent of questions left Chen Xing somewhat overwhelmed.
