Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 391 Qin Huairu's IUD Insertion

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru brought out two large bowls from the kitchen, one containing stewed pheasant with dried mushrooms, and the other containing stir-fried rabbit meat.

"Brother Wang Feng has eaten."

"Um."

Qin Jingru filled a bowl of rice for Wang Feng, and Wang Feng began to eat.

Now, Qin Jingru has spoiled Wang Feng's palate, and he can no longer get used to the food at the factory, including the food at the state-run restaurant.

However, under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to eat outside, since he has hundreds of kilograms of cooked dishes in his space, as well as dozens of kilograms of rice and steamed buns.

While eating, Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Brother Wang Feng, my mom's birthday is in ten days. What do you think we should get her as a gift?"

Wang Feng thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, buy your mother a couple of outfits and take a few more pounds of meat with you. They've stored up a lot of grain before, but meat is so expensive now, and they usually can't bear to eat meat. It's just right to bring them more meat."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll have my hunter friend bring over a dozen kilograms of cured meat in a few days. Cured meat keeps well, so they can eat it slowly. As for the rest, we'll see what else they need then."

"Mmm, Brother Wang Feng, you're so good to me," Qin Jingru said sweetly.

After finishing their meal and drinking a pot of tea, Qin Jingru pulled Wang Feng to take a nap.

Of course, it's still very necessary to do some exercise that's good for your physical and mental health before going to bed.

Now Qin Jingru is really starting to get anxious. She's been married into the family for so long, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant. Sometimes she hears people in the courtyard gossiping about her behind her back, saying that being pretty is useless and that she's a hen that can't lay eggs.

She didn't tell Wang Feng about this. It's other people's right to talk about it behind her back. It's just that those people didn't expect her hearing to be so good.

Her colleagues at the factory, including Liu Lan, would sometimes tease her, asking why she hadn't gotten pregnant after so long, and whether Wang Feng was impotent.

Now, she feels very disappointed every month when her period comes, because it means she is not pregnant again.

She has made up her mind that if she is not pregnant by next month, she and her son will go to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Although Wang Feng had reassured her many times that their bodies were definitely fine, Wang Feng wasn't a doctor and didn't know much about this kind of thing, so she was still a little worried.

With her body in such good health now, and her son's body also becoming so good, there's no reason why they haven't been able to conceive after all this time.

If Wang Feng were impotent, it wouldn't be so bad, but Wang Feng's needs in this area are too strong. Except when they have their periods, they need it almost every day. But even so, so much time has passed and she and her son still haven't gotten pregnant, which makes her a little worried.

......

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

When Wang Feng and Qin Jingru woke up from their afternoon nap, Lu Banxia came looking for them as soon as they opened the door.

"Brother Feng, Sister Jingru, why are you closing your doors in broad daylight? Are you sleeping again?" Lu Banxia asked with a smile.

Wang Feng laughed heartily: "What, is that not allowed? Jingru and I have nothing better to do, and it's Sunday today, so what else can we do besides stay home and make a baby?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Banxia looked at Qin Jingru, whose face was delicate and whose skin was radiant and rosy, and jokingly said with a smile:

"Oh, Jingru, you actually took advantage of my absence to eat alone."

Now Lu Banxia sleeps with Wang Feng and Qin Jingru every day. They do all sorts of things, both appropriate and inappropriate. She's not as thin-skinned as she used to be, and she's not shy at all when telling dirty jokes, since everyone present is a close friend.

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Banxia, ​​Wang Feng has already spent a whole week with you alone, and you're still not satisfied? You always make Wang Feng act like he's going to die. Without me, can you handle it?"

Lu Banxia linked arms with Qin Jingru and laughed, "Hehe, Sister Jingru, I was just kidding. Brother Feng is like an ox; without Sister Jingru, I really can't do it."

"Sister Jingru, your skin is so white and tender. Are you really from the countryside? I don't think so at all. Your skin is so good. I can't tell you're a girl from the countryside at all. When I see other girls from the countryside in Lujia Village, most of them are dark-skinned and thin. You're the complete opposite."

Qin Jingru said speechlessly, "Am I from the countryside or from abroad?"

As she spoke, Qin Jingru raised her snow-white neck: "I was born beautiful, and I can't get tanned no matter how much sun I get. There's nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, when I went on a blind date with Brother Wang Feng, he wouldn't have taken a liking to me at first sight."

Lu Banxia nodded in deep agreement, a look of envy on her face.

She was born into a wealthy capitalist family and had always lived a life of luxury. However, she was not as beautiful as Qin Jingru, a girl from the countryside, which made her very depressed.

"By the way, Sister Jingru, did you eat pheasant and rabbit for lunch today? Did you save any for me? The braised pork and Dongpo pork I had at Grandpa Mu Hongyan's house for lunch today were nowhere near as good as your cooking," Lu Banxia changed the subject.

Qin Jingru shook her head speechlessly: "I'll save it; you can eat your fill tonight."

"Hehe, that's good."

......

Just as Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia were chatting happily, Qin Huairu finally returned from Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Normally, inserting an IUD should only take about ten minutes, but it was so painful that she had to rest in the hospital for six hours before she felt a little better.

She supported her back and slowly walked into courtyard number 95. Just as she entered the front yard, she encountered three middle-aged women watering flowers at the entrance.

Seeing Qin Huairu walking slowly, supporting her back, the third aunt asked in surprise, "Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu smiled and explained, "It's nothing. I twisted my back while buying corn noodles at the pigeon market today. It'll be fine in a couple of days."

"oh."

The three aunts nodded and stopped chatting with Qin Huairu. Their two families had fought before, and although their relationship had eased a lot, it wasn't much better.

Qin Huairu slowly walked towards the central courtyard. As soon as she returned to the Jia family home, Jia Zhangshi pointed at her and shouted:

"Qin Huairu, where the hell have you been? I told you to go get an IUD inserted, and you didn't come back for a whole day. Tell me, did you go and cheat on me with another man?"

Qin Huairu, supporting her aching back, sat on the bed, enduring the pain, her tone reproachful:

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital early this morning. You said I could walk right away after the IUD was inserted, but I was in so much pain after the IUD was inserted that I couldn't walk at all. I rested in the hospital for a full six hours before I could barely walk."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia was somewhat puzzled.

"That's impossible. I had an IUD inserted before, and I came right back after the procedure. It didn't hurt much."
