230 Chapter 229, Take Out The Ring

At nine o’clock, Zhang Kun came back.

“Why are you back?” Li Xu asked in surprise.

Zhang Kun said, “Go back and change your clothes. Take your ID card. I’ll bring you to the hospital to have a look.”

Li Xu hesitated for a moment. “How about another day? The business today is quite busy.”

As she was speaking, another customer came in.

Zhang Kun urged her, “Is 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. I’ll stay here and watch.”

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. “Alright, you take a look first. I’ll follow you down.”

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 People’s Hospital.

They queued up, registered, and checked.

The doctor was experienced. After a few times, he was almost sure. “It 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!”

Hearing that, Li Xu’s face turned pale.

She still remembered the pain of planting a birth control ring very clearly.

“Can I not take it out?” Li Xu asked with a pale face.

The doctor raised his head and looked at her. “Women 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, it’s better to finish it in one go.”

“But I won’t give birth again. I already have three children…” Li Xu said in a low voice.

“They don’t care about this. You say don’t want to give birth so you won’t? What if you accidentally get pregnant? You won’t give birth to it? When the time comes, you definitely can’t bear to abort!” The doctor shook his head helplessly. “I’ve seen this kind of thing many times. When the time comes, a miscarriage will be much more uncomfortable than planting a birth control ring.”

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. “If you really don’t want to planted it, it’s not like there’s no other way.”

Hearing this, Li Xu’s eyes lit up. “What way?”

“Contraception between husband and wife doesn’t 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,” The doctor explained.

The smile on Li Xu’s face gradually disappeared. A moment later, she said in a low voice, “Then forget it. I’ll go with the ring.”

She looked at the doctor and said, “Then, may I ask where I’m supposed to take the ultrasound?”

The doctor sighed slightly and said in a low voice, “Go out and turn left. You’ll see it there.”

Li Xu took the list and went out.

Zhang Kun, who was waiting at the door, quickly came up to her and asked, “How is it?”

This was the gynecology department. Men were not allowed to enter.

Li Xu forced a smile. “The doctor asked me to do an ultrasound. I still don’t know what’s going on!”

Seeing Li Xu’s 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.

“Go back to work. I can wait by myself,” Li Xu urged him. “I still don’t know when I’ll the results of the scan will come out. Don’t delay your work.”

Zhang Kun did not move. “It’s fine. I’ll take a look when the results are out. I’m worried as long as the results aren’t out yet.”

Seeing this, Li Xu could only tell the truth. “There’s 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!”

Hearing Li Xu’s words, Zhang Kun’s 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, “It’s 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. It’s best to treat it for a period of time before putting it back on again. Otherwise, it will be bad for your body.”

Li Xu hurriedly nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

The doctor lifted the curtain inside and instructed, “Lie on top. Take off your pants to your knees.”

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.

…

Zhang Kun sat on the chair outside and waited for Li Xu attentively.

“Ah…” Suddenly, a low cry of pain came from inside. Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up. “Ah Xu, are you okay?”

“She’s fine. She’ll be fine in a while,” The doctor shouted.

Zhang Kun wanted to go in, but when he read the words ‘men are not allowed to enter’ on the door, he stopped in his tracks.

Back then, Yanyan’s mother and he both had rural household registration. Yanyan was also a girl, so they could have a second child.

That was why Yanyan’s 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. “What’s wrong with you?”

Li Xu shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just need to rest.”

Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment. Then, he took a step forward and half-squatted in front of Li Xu. “Come up, I’ll carry you!”

Li Xu was really suffering now. She hesitated for a moment and then climbed onto Zhang Kun’s 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 Kun’s 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 Kun’s 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. “Don’t go to the shop today, rest for a day. Tomorrow is Saturday. I’ll go to the shop to look after it.”

Li Xu nodded. “It’s okay. You should go to work now.”

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, “Yuanyuan, 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 she’s better.”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded and held Yang Jingyi’s hand. “No problem. You can come home with me then!”

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 Jingyi’s ear and whispered, “How’s your Mom?”

Yang Jingyi pursed her lips. “My Mother promised me that she would never hurt herself again.”
