Chapter 1241: Chapter 391 Buying People

Mo Yan said that she couldn’t be certain that Liu Tinglan was carrying twins, but actually, the likelihood was very high, and Liu Tinglan believed this without a doubt. After finishing her apple with great enthusiasm, she asked Mo Yan to check her pulse again to see if the twins were boys or girls. She was hoping for one of each, a perfect pair; that way, if she could have more children in the future, she would have no regrets, and if not, she would still feel fulfilled.

"Do you think I have X-ray vision to tell whether your children are boys or girls?" Mo Yan said half laughing, half crying, "Even if it were possible, right now the babies have only just begun to take shape, how can you tell! You should focus on nurturing them well, bringing them into the world safe and sound is what’s important."

Liu Tinglan cradled her belly with a blissful expression and said cheerfully, "Got it, got it. From now on I’ll definitely follow your advice, go out and walk around more, and make sure both children are plump, white and hearty."

Mo Yan waved her hand and reminded, "Fair and healthy are necessary; plump is not, particularly since you are carrying two. When you reach seven months, your body’s burden will naturally be greater than that of an average pregnant woman. If the babies grow too large, childbirth will be difficult."

Here, there was no such thing as a cesarean section; giving birth was like walking at the Gate Of Hell—any carelessness could lead to a difficult labor. Even with a doctor present, it was hard to ensure the safety of mother and child. Some pregnant women, unaware of the dangers within, thought that eating more would make their baby healthier; they stuffed themselves, fearing the child wouldn’t grow well otherwise.

Little did they know, by doing so, they not only made themselves increasingly fat but also caused the baby to grow excessively large, which often led to difficult childbirth.

When Mo Yan accompanied Doctor Du on house calls, she once encountered such a case. She witnessed Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles barely snatch the mother and child back from King Yama’s grasp. Even so, the child, having suffered in the womb for too long, turned out very weak, and the mother was so weakened that she likely couldn’t conceive again.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tinglan immediately became anxious, "Then I’ll listen to you. From now on, I’ll eat less, go for a walk for two hours every day, eat more fresh vegetables and less meat..."

Seeing her frightened, Mo Yan quickly reassured, "The children need nutrition; you can’t eat too little. However, you can spread your three meals into five or six smaller ones throughout the day. After eating, go for a short walk, and you and the children will remain healthy."

"Mm-hmm, I’ll talk to my mother-in-law about this right away, and from now on, my meals will be prepared separately," Liu Tinglan said nodding vigorously, afraid if she missed anything or failed at any point, it might endanger her children.

After thinking it over, Mo Yan said, "The fact that you have twins in your belly should not be told to anyone for the time being, including your mother-in-law."

On hearing this, Liu Tinglan asked, puzzled, "Why can’t I tell my mother-in-law right away? Wouldn’t it be nice to let her share the joy?"

Mo Yan gave her friend an exasperated look, tapped her forehead and said, "Didn’t you say that woman is back and constantly trying to stir trouble? You might not be taking her seriously, but I’m worried she’ll harm you with some underhanded trick—we must send her away."

When she first arrived at the Shen family, she had cautiously inquired with Mother Lv, fearing that Liu Tinglan was being mistreated and keeping it to herself. And then she heard the news of Lu Zhu scheming her way back into the Shen family.

This woman was probably still coveting Shen Ji, capable of being both humble and harsh to herself—a clear sign of not just cunning but also a ruthlessness not to be underestimated. Who knew what desperate acts she might commit upon learning that Sister Lan was carrying twins out of jealousy?

The best solution was to drive this person away, prevent her from causing trouble in the Shen family, and deal with the matter before the news of the twins got out.

Having been reminded by Mo Yan, Liu Tinglan thought of Lu Zhu, the last person she wanted to deal with and her face immediately fell, "Do you think I tolerate her? If it wasn’t for not wanting to directly confront my father- and mother-in-law, making it hard for Brother Jin to study in peace, I would’ve driven her away long ago."

Mo Yan knew well the dilemma her friend faced and couldn’t help feeling relieved again that the Xiao Family was free of such vexing issues.

"Ultimately this is an issue for the Shen family, and I shouldn’t interfere further; you must resolve it. Now that you’re pregnant, your mother-in-law, considering the child in your womb, will not let you suffer any injustice. Compared to you, Lu Zhu holds little weight. It’s up to you to handle this in a way that sends Lu Zhu back to her ancestral home without offending your in-laws," Mo Yan concluded.
