No wonder it’s been such a long time, and Shangguan Xi hasn’t shown any signs of pregnancy.
So that’s the case.
Wu Chenjun hastily said: "Grandma, it’s not that Xiaoxi can’t get pregnant; I might have a problem too. It’s not only Xiaoxi’s fault."
Chen Qian nodded and agreed: "Exactly, Chen Jun is making a lot of sense. Having a baby is not a matter for one person alone. Besides, getting pregnant has to do with one’s physical constitution. Some have a constitution that is more prone to getting pregnant, while others do not. Mom, haven’t you seen it? Some people take several years of marriage before they get pregnant and have a child! Didn’t it take me five or six months to conceive Chen Jun after getting married! So, some things can’t be rushed!"
Wu Zhihao nodded, "Qianqian is right."
This couple has a very good relationship. Although both of them are now over forty, Wu Zhihao still affectionately calls his wife by her pet name.
"Nonsense! What problem could our Chen Jun possibly have! Having babies is a woman’s issue; it has nothing to do with men!" Grandma Wu was very angry.
Grandma Wu came from the old society, and although some of her ideas were very progressive, such as not favoring boys over girls, some of her thoughts were still not acceptable.
For example, she believed that having children was strictly a woman’s affair that had nothing to do with men.
After all, the child is born from the woman’s belly.
Chen Qian said with a smile: "Mom, don’t be in such a hurry. Let me give you an improper analogy. It’s like fertile land; if the quality of the seed isn’t good, no matter how hard you work the land, you won’t get crops."
"Do you even care about your son? Are you so eager for your own son to have a problem?" Grandma Wu glared fiercely at Chen Qian.
Chen Qian replied: "That’s not what I mean, I’m just drawing a comparison for you to consider. Mom, I think both Xiaoxi and Chen Jun are fine. These things can’t be rushed; we should let nature take its course."
Grandma Wu wished she could slap Chen Qian.
In the old society, which daughter-in-law would dare to talk back to her mother-in-law like this?
It’s different in modern times!
Wu Zhihao nodded, "Qianqian is right, Mom, we should let this happen naturally!"
"Yes yes yes! All you do is agree! You spineless man! Don’t call me mom! I don’t acknowledge you as my son!"
Her son was good in all aspects!
But he had one flaw!
He was afraid of his wife!
A grown man, yet he listens to his wife in everything, not fearing being a laughingstock.
Shangguan Xi then said: "How about this, Grandma, Chen Jun and I will go to the hospital now for an examination. Otherwise, you won’t be at ease."
