230 Chapter 229, Take Out The Ring
At nine oâclock, Zhang Kun came back.
âWhy are you back?â Li Xu asked in surprise.
Zhang Kun said, âGo back and change your clothes. Take your ID card. Iâll bring you to the hospital to have a look.â
Li Xu hesitated for a moment. âHow about another day? The business today is quite busy.â
As she was speaking, another customer came in.
Zhang Kun urged her, âIs your health more important or earning money more important? Stop dawdling. If you dawdle any longer, the hospital will close soon. Hurry up and go upstairs. Iâll stay here and watch.â
Li Xu thought for a moment and felt that what Zhang Kun said was not without reason. She took off the apron on her body. âAlright, you take a look first. Iâll follow you down.â
She went home and changed into a clean set of clothes, took her ID card and money with her, and then went downstairs.
The door of the shop was locked. Zhang Kun rode his bicycle and drove Li Xu to the Peopleâs Hospital.
They queued up, registered, and checked.
The doctor was experienced. After a few times, he was almost sure. âIt should be the problem with the intrauterine device. Go and do an ultrasound to check the condition of the intrauterine device. It might have to be taken out and reattached!â
Hearing that, Li Xuâs face turned pale.
She still remembered the pain of planting a birth control ring very clearly.
âCan I not take it out?â Li Xu asked with a pale face.
The doctor raised his head and looked at her. âWomen of childbearing age at your age need to be examined regularly. When the examination is out, you still have to take it out. Rather than suffering twice, itâs better to finish it in one go.â
âBut I wonât give birth again. I already have three childrenâ¦â Li Xu said in a low voice.
âThey donât care about this. You say donât want to give birth so you wonât? What if you accidentally get pregnant? You wonât give birth to it? When the time comes, you definitely canât bear to abort!â The doctor shook his head helplessly. âIâve seen this kind of thing many times. When the time comes, a miscarriage will be much more uncomfortable than planting a birth control ring.â
She was also a woman, so she naturally knew what Li Xu was afraid of. Therefore, her attitude was not impatient. Instead, she actively gave Li Xu advice. âIf you really donât want to planted it, itâs not like thereâs no other way.â
Hearing this, Li Xuâs eyes lit up. âWhat way?â
âContraception between husband and wife doesnât have to be solved by the woman. Men can do it too. If your man is willing, you can ask your man to come over for a vasectomy,â The doctor explained.
The smile on Li Xuâs face gradually disappeared. A moment later, she said in a low voice, âThen forget it. Iâll go with the ring.â
She looked at the doctor and said, âThen, may I ask where Iâm supposed to take the ultrasound?â
The doctor sighed slightly and said in a low voice, âGo out and turn left. Youâll see it there.â
Li Xu took the list and went out.
Zhang Kun, who was waiting at the door, quickly came up to her and asked, âHow is it?â
This was the gynecology department. Men were not allowed to enter.
Li Xu forced a smile. âThe doctor asked me to do an ultrasound. I still donât know whatâs going on!â
Seeing Li Xuâs forced expression, Zhang Kun was a little surprised. He supported Li Xu and slowly walked to the ultrasound room.
After the ultrasound was done, they would have to wait for a while before they could get the scans.
During this time, the two of them sat on the chairs outside and waited.
âGo back to work. I can wait by myself,â Li Xu urged him. âI still donât know when Iâll the results of the scan will come out. Donât delay your work.â
Zhang Kun did not move. âItâs fine. Iâll take a look when the results are out. Iâm worried as long as the results arenât out yet.â
Seeing this, Li Xu could only tell the truth. âThereâs no problem. The doctor said that there was just something wrong with the birth control ring. It might have to be taken out and replanted!â
Hearing Li Xuâs words, Zhang Kunâs brows furrowed tightly as if he was thinking about something.
After half an hour, the scan was finally out.
The two of them took the scan and went to look for the doctor in front of them.
The doctor looked at the scan and knew what was going on, âItâs the problem with the birth control ring. The position of the ring had obviously changed. We have to take it out. However, the inflammation in your body is a little serious. Itâs best to treat it for a period of time before putting it back on again. Otherwise, it will be bad for your body.â
Li Xu hurriedly nodded. âAlright, Iâll listen to you.â
The doctor lifted the curtain inside and instructed, âLie on top. Take off your pants to your knees.â
Li Xu took a deep breath and lay on top.
The doctor quickly brought over the tools. Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly closed her eyes.
â¦
Zhang Kun sat on the chair outside and waited for Li Xu attentively.
âAhâ¦â Suddenly, a low cry of pain came from inside. Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up. âAh Xu, are you okay?â
âSheâs fine. Sheâll be fine in a while,â The doctor shouted.
Zhang Kun wanted to go in, but when he read the words âmen are not allowed to enterâ on the door, he stopped in his tracks.
Back then, Yanyanâs mother and he both had rural household registration. Yanyan was also a girl, so they could have a second child.
That was why Yanyanâs mother did not plant a birth control ring.
Therefore, Zhang Kun really did not know much about birth control rings.
All he knew was that once she wore this thing, a woman would not be able to get pregnant.
Not long after, Li Xu came out.
Her face was pale. She bent her back and covered her stomach with her hands.
Zhang Kun quickly went up to her. âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Li Xu shook her head. âItâs nothing. I just need to rest.â
...
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment. Then, he took a step forward and half-squatted in front of Li Xu. âCome up, Iâll carry you!â
Li Xu was really suffering now. She hesitated for a moment and then climbed onto Zhang Kunâs back.
The main reason was that the place where the pain came from was too embarrassing. She could not cover it in public, so she felt better lying on Zhang Kunâs back.
In this era, people were more reserved when expressing their feelings.
Especially in a small county, so when everyone saw Zhang Kun carrying Li Xu, they could not help but take a second look.
Li Xu was a little embarrassed by so many eyes staring at her. She buried her head in Zhang Kunâs neck.
If she could not see, she would not be embarrassed.
It was only 10:30 when she got home. Zhang Kun helped Li Xu to the bed and carefully tucked her in. âDonât go to the shop today, rest for a day. Tomorrow is Saturday. Iâll go to the shop to look after it.â
Li Xu nodded. âItâs okay. You should go to work now.â
Zhang Kun looked at the time. It was indeed too late.
He leaned over and kissed Li Xu on the cheek before leaving in a hurry.
...
In the afternoon, Yang Jingyi packed her bag and said a little embarrassedly, âYuanyuan, my Grandma has to take care of my Mom for lunch and asked me to go to your house. She also said that she will go to your house to thank my Mom when sheâs better.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and held Yang Jingyiâs hand. âNo problem. You can come home with me then!â
The two of them walked out of the classroom hand in hand. There were no other classmates around them, so Ji Yuanyuan moved closer to Yang Jingyiâs ear and whispered, âHowâs your Mom?â
Yang Jingyi pursed her lips. âMy Mother promised me that she would never hurt herself again.â
