My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 288 - 13: Multiple Birth Pills_2

Shen Chi gave a bitter smile, "She can’t even get out of bed now, how dare I bring her to the train station."

"What are you standing around for? Hurry back," Luo Yufang urged.

When the group arrived home, Luo Yufang and the others had no interest in the once awe-inspiring big house. They tossed their luggage aside and went to see Lin Xiaoguai.

Shen Chi pushed open the door of the master bedroom and, seeing the scene inside, he quickly raised his index finger to his lips to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Is she asleep?" Luo Yufang asked softly.

Shen Chi nodded, "Her drowsiness is quite severe now, but she often can’t sleep because she’s too uncomfortable from hunger. It’s rare for her to be able to sleep, so let’s keep our voices down."

The group tiptoed into the room, thankful that the floor was carpeted with a soft rug, making it easier to move quietly.

As they stepped closer and saw Lin Xiaoguai’s face, thin as a palm, the elders gasped. Luo Yufang widened her eyes, "How has she become so thin?" Her grandson had just sent a photo a couple of months ago, and the granddaughter-in-law looked fine then.

"Eating poorly and sleeping poorly, what can you do?" Shen Chi sighed.

"Let’s talk outside," Luo Yufang pulled everyone back out.

In the living room, Shen Zhangming couldn’t hold back, "Being so thin, what did the doctor say?"

"What else can they say? It’ll get better after three months," Shen Chi rubbed his temples.

"Are you sure it’s not a quack doctor?" Shen Mincheng muttered.

Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, even holding on for another week seemed problematic, let alone over a month.

"Does she vomit everything she eats? Have you tried something lighter?" Luo Yufang asked.

"She vomits everything, even plain rice. We’ve tried everything, methods that work for other pregnant women are useless for Wanwan. She can only handle some fruits, ginger tea, plain water, honey water, and she can drink a bit of light soup," Shen Chi said, his face clouded with worry.

"This won’t do, just eating those, how can the child grow?" Luo Yufang frowned.

"Wanwan knows it too, so now she’s forcing herself to eat, even though she still vomits, she manages to keep something down. But every bout of vomiting takes a long time for her to recover. If this continues, she’ll be drained of all her vitality," Shen Chi said while pouring tea for the elders.

Luo Yufang was also troubled. She had seen many cases of severe morning sickness, but never as severe as her granddaughter-in-law’s. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let’s see, I’ll cook some hometown dishes for lunch."

"Thanks, grandma," Shen Chi paused, then added, "Don’t you need to rest for a while?"

"What sleep? We slept on the train, I’m full of energy now," Luo Yufang declined.

She continued, "You go on with your things. I’ll go check the kitchen to see what I can make."

The house Shen Chi’s family lived in was the finest Luo Yufang had seen in her life, but right now, all she could think about was what she could make to get her granddaughter-in-law to eat. She wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings.

Lin Xiaoguai hadn’t slept long, she opened her eyes groggily to find Shen Chi sitting beside the bed reading her manuscript.

"Awake?" Shen Chi immediately put down the manuscript to help her sit up.

"Should I peel an orange for you?"

Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, "Didn’t you go to pick up grandma and the others? Where are they?"

"Grandma is cooking, grandpa went to check the vegetable garden, and dad is chatting with Little Niangao," Shen Chi handed her the honey water.

Lin Xiaoguai took a small sip and smiled, "I just had a dream."

"What did you dream about?" Shen Chi gently asked as he smoothed her disheveled hair.

"I dreamt of several babies calling me ’mom’, all clamoring for me to hold them," Lin Xiaoguai said with a light laugh.

She told Shen Chi, also as a way to prepare him mentally. Ever since Sister Li Qin had triplets, Lin Xiaoguai had been envious, especially since she knew she could at most have one more child. During her spare time, she discovered a kind of Multiple Birth Pills in the exchange shop; don’t think this is the kind of medicine technically known as clomiphene and commonly called fertility pills in later generations. Compared to the latter, Multiple Birth Pills had no concerns about safety, no side effects, the only marked danger being its unpredictability that might lead to the mother’s body being unable to sustain the fetuses.

Put simply, taking Multiple Birth Pills might result in twins, but it could also lead to triplets, quadruplets, or even more. With more fetuses, the mother’s body might be overwhelmed.

Despite the risks, Lin Xiaoguai still grit her teeth and took the Multiple Birth Pills. Her current condition confirmed the effect of the pills. With her body constantly conditioned through spiritual spring water and Wash Marrow and Cut Tendons, twins wouldn’t cause such a strong reaction, so it was likely she was carrying triplets or more.

Though it was tough, she didn’t regret it. She never stopped taking various tonics. From finding out she was pregnant until now, she spent millions of Gold Coins on it daily. For the good of her children, she didn’t mind the expense.

However, the intense morning sickness was something she could never have anticipated, and she still couldn’t find a solution.

Shen Chi, hearing this, didn’t overthink it. Believing it was a daydream from her daily thoughts, he reached for the empty cup in her hand, "Do you have a craving for any hometown dishes? I’ll ask grandma to make it for you."

Lin Xiaoguai thought seriously and said, "I’m craving beef soup, just not sure if I can keep it down."

"It’s okay, I’ll talk to grandma." Seeing her unconscious anxiety, Shen Chi said tenderly.
