Chapter 555: Where Would My Daughters Come From?

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huangfu Lingyao felt a bit anxious.

What if his wife didn’t want to have children? What would he do then?

Honestly, Huangfu Lingyao had never thought about the issue of having children before. He had no feelings for children and had never considered how many children he would have in his lifetime. But now that he had such a wonderful fiancee, his perspective naturally changed.

Who wouldn’t want to have more children with a wife who was so beautiful and intelligent? It’s not like they couldn’t afford it. Not to mention his fiancee’s ability to make money, his Yong’an Inn earned a steady income every day, enough to support ten, or even a hundred children!

“That’s a problem for the future.”

Liu Shimei snapped back to reality, noticing his cautious expression as if he might start crying if she said she didn’t want children. She smiled and said, “I’m still young; it’s not good for my health to become a mother so early.”

Pausing for a moment, she added, “Having too many children is also not good for the body.”

She was joking. Starting to have children around the age of twenty was better for the body, and recovery after childbirth would be faster. A woman shouldn’t have more than three children in her lifetime, and it’s not advisable to have children at an older age. For the mother’s body, the burden wouldn’t be too heavy that way.

Having one child after another without caring for one’s life, that would undoubtedly pose a threat to one’s future!

She advocated for a more scientific approach to childbirth and was not willing to bear a bunch of children like a sow.

Of course, if one is lucky, having twins or triplets in one birth is a different story!

“Is that so?” Huangfu Lingyao didn’t understand these things, but considering his wife was a doctor, she should know more, so he reluctantly accepted her words, saying, “Well, it’s your body, you decide!”

Although he yielded, he felt a pang in his heart. ‘What a pity, in the future, I will have fewer daughters as beautiful and smart as my wife!’

Of course, at this moment, Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t possibly know that in the future, after having daughters, each one of them being a little troublemaker, just the time they would spend vying for his wife’s attention would drive him crazy. He would regret not having chosen not to have any daughters at all!

Seeing him like this, Liu Shimei couldn’t help but laugh. She fed him and said, “Let nature take its course.”

Sometimes, children are a matter of destiny.

Although she advocated for scientific childbirth, she wouldn’t go against fate.

Huangfu Lingyao, while eating, glanced at her, contemplated for a moment, and then asked, “Wife, were they lying to me? They said as long as two people sleep together and do that thing, there will be little ones…”

He lowered his head to glance at her belly and asked, “Why don’t you have a little one in your belly?”

Liu Shimei almost choked on her food!

Her silly son really made her experience what it felt like to have a household full of ‘whys’!

She definitely couldn’t explain to him how little ones were made, so she just said, “I took medicine.”

“Oh, so there won’t be any if you take medicine?” Huangfu Lingyao’s face showed sudden realization.

However, in his heart, he thought, ‘I didn’t know before, but later, knowing that she’s skilled in medicine, I could guess more or less. Sure enough!’

Then, he started to worry. ‘If my wife takes medicine every day to avoid having little ones, where will my daughters come from?’

But he had just agreed that ‘your body, your choice’. Now he couldn’t back out. What should he do?

Oh, why is life so difficult!?

After thinking for a while, he asked again, “Wife, how did my father decide the punishment for the slingshot incident? Did he say they should be beheaded?”
