My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 337 - 38: The Aged Tree

"Has everyone left?"

Seeing Shen Chi return, Luo Yufang cautiously asked.

Shen Chi nodded, not speaking nonsense. Luo Yufang quickly went inside to open a bedroom door, peeked her head in, and said, "Wanwan, come out, the people from the Family Planning Office have already left."

Lin Xiaoguai breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out of the room, and softly asked the stone-faced Shen Chi, "What happened? Why did the people from the Family Planning Office suddenly come over?"

She knew that after having one child, the Family Planning Office would forcefully require wearing a contraceptive coil. The first time she was lucky enough to escape it, and the second time she skirted the rules and gave birth to quadruplets. Logically, there was no way she could avoid it this time.

But with Shen Chi’s current status and the fact that the Han Family was not one to be trifled with easily, the Family Planning Office shouldn’t trouble her over such a minor issue, as could be inferred from the silence of the past six months.

So why had they suddenly come knocking?

If it weren’t for Zheng Cuicui’s phone call giving her a prior warning, allowing her to hide in time and call Shen Chi back, she might have lost face today. freewebnoveℓ.com

Although she didn’t like the idea of wearing a contraceptive coil, it wasn’t a big deal, but being escorted away in broad daylight would be embarrassing not just for her but likely for Shen Chi as well.

"Someone must have meddled with the situation, trying to target me," Shen Chi said, his expression grim.

He certainly had enemies in the Military Department, but the men there typically wouldn’t stoop to such lowly tactics.

Among the people he had recently offended, there was only one person who might come up with such a pernicious, self-harming scheme.

"Is it really necessary to wear that contraceptive coil?" Luo Yufang frowned.

She had never encountered such a thing in her youth and did not understand the contraceptive coil, but the thought of something foreign suddenly being inside one’s body just didn’t sit right with her.

Lin Xiaoguai knew that although the contraceptive coil didn’t harm the body, there were many older women who had developed gynecological inflammations because of it.

However, there was no choice at the moment. Rather than being escorted to the hospital, it was better to go on her own.

"It’s okay, grandma, wearing the coil doesn’t affect the body," she could only say to comfort others at this point.

Shen Chi, frowning, did not speak. Later that night, before going to sleep, he held her and said, "You don’t have to wear the contraceptive coil."

"Hm?" Lin Xiaoguai was sleepy and a bit confused.

"I’ll undergo a vasectomy at the hospital, so you won’t have to wear that damn coil."

Shen Chi’s tone was very calm, but Lin Xiaoguai suddenly fully woke up, "A vasectomy?"

Shen Chi nodded, "I’ve asked before, a vasectomy is more convenient than a woman wearing a coil. Unlike the coil, there’s no risk of inflammation due to bad luck, and there are no concerns about the coil falling out. It can provide permanent contraception."

What he didn’t say was that Feng Li had told him that women could also be sterilized, but compared to male sterilization, female sterilization was more troublesome and more likely to cause pelvic diseases. He couldn’t bear to let Wanwan suffer.

"Permanent contraception?" Lin Xiaoguai paused.

Shen Chi assumed she still wanted to have children and persuaded her, "We already have enough children now. Having more would mean we couldn’t devote our energy to caring for them, and you wouldn’t be happy just leaving them to nannies, would you?"

But Lin Xiaoguai was reminded of Shen Chi’s sterilization in her previous life.

In fact, long before they divorced, Shen Chi had told her that he had been sterilized, but she didn’t believe it at all. For one thing, at that time she was full of prejudice, and how could she believe something said by Shen Chi, the man she was desperate to get away from? Second, Shen Chi looked lively and energetic when he told her, showing no signs of weakness from having undergone surgery.

Lin Xiaoguai felt that he was simply deceiving her. After all, no man would not want his own children; how could Shen Chi actually be willing to have a vasectomy?

She no longer had the ability to bear children. How could she verify whether Shen Chi had a vasectomy or not? Lin Xiaoguai thought he was planning to deceive her temporarily; after all, she couldn’t have children anymore, so she couldn’t expose his lie. Once he was tired of her and they divorced, he could still marry and have children with someone else.

At that time, Shen Chi had tried to retain her by such means, but she saw his words merely as deception; she was not touched but felt even greater disdain for him.

It was only just before she died, after hearing what Xu Meimei said, that she was willing to believe that this man was truly willing to go so far for her.

"You’ve just had one surgery, and now you want to have another vasectomy. Can your body take it?" Lin Xiaoguai looked doubtful.

"It’s fine, a vasectomy is just a minor surgery," Shen Chi said indifferently.

"How about this? Let me wear the coil instead; even a minor surgery requires postoperative rest, right?" Lin Xiaoguai said with a frown.
