She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 537: Life? Not giving birth?

This question made Ye Shu blush, and he felt so embarrassed that he almost lost face: "Sister-in-law Jin..."

Mrs. Jin smiled and patted her arm: "It's okay, it's okay. We've all been there before, don't be shy."

"You two young couples have a great relationship, that's a good thing! Others can't wait to envy you!"

"But it's just..."

They are all married women, so they are more open when talking about that kind of things in private.

Ye Shu was so embarrassed that she was about to cry.

Mrs. Jin squeezed Ye Shu's arm, coughed twice, and asked, "You are young and impetuous, and I think Captain Huo is also intolerable. What will you do if you accidentally get pregnant again?"

Ye Shu's face was red as blood. It was not right to answer immediately, but it was not good not to answer either. So he threw the question back to her: "What about you guys?"

Mrs. Jin blushed, but she was always thick-skinned: "Well, we are an old married couple, there is not much trouble in that area."

Ye Shu was surprised. They were only in their thirties, so how could they be considered an old couple?

Besides, she had heard from her colleagues before that women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty, cough cough cough...

Mrs. Jin noticed her playful look and pinched her hard with her hand: "Really, to be honest, I'm scared. We've given birth to three sons in a row. If it happens again, I'm afraid we won't be able to straighten our backs for the rest of our lives!"

People used to say that it’s good to have a boy, because having a boy will make you feel more confident!

But there are many boys in the family, so the pressure is great!

Without this financial strength, life in the future will be really difficult.

Especially like now, the troops were suddenly brought to the wilderness area. Although the men's monthly wages, allowances and benefits did not decrease, they were actually more than before.

Even these female comrades receive certain subsidies and allowances.

Moreover, the cost here is low, and eating and drinking are basically free.

But they are also worried. When the boys grow up, they will have to get married. By then, who knows what the environment will be like outside, and they don’t know if they will still be able to go out.

In short, the road ahead is uncertain, and she dares not have another child, especially not a boy.

So, even though the couple sometimes slept together and inevitably had some night activities, she was always careful to restrain the man.

But... I can't help but sigh in my heart, it's really unpleasant!

Ugh!

It would be nice if I could just do that without getting pregnant.

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Shu, "Hey, I heard that IUDs are now available in Beijing! Is that true?"

Ye Shu was stunned by the question. She had always had too many things to do and had not considered this issue in detail.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the promotion and use of IUDs in China did begin in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but their widespread use did not begin until the 1980s when family planning was officially implemented.

It's 66 now, so IUDs should have been available.

It’s just that it has never been promoted to the islands before.

Mrs. Jin was looking forward to it: "Is it true? Is this difficult to make? Can you do it?"

Ye Shu thought about it and listed some of the disadvantages and drawbacks of placing an IUD in a woman's body.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jin was a little scared, but she still said, "If I can do it, I want to do it."

Then he asked Ye Shu, "Can you do it?"

Ye Shu shook his head honestly: "I haven't come into contact with it yet."

Mrs. Jin sighed and felt very regretful.

Ye Shu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, now hospitals and clinics all have BYT..."

BYT was first used in China in the mid-to-late 1950s, but it was not yet popular. Moreover, it was the kind that could be cleaned and used repeatedly, not disposable.

Married people can apply for it, but they may not receive it, and they may not know how many they can receive.

There was a joke in the past that a young married couple went to get a prescription, and the doctor gave them just one and told them to use it sparingly.

Mrs. Jin still sighed: "I know, but it's not enough. Besides, we are in this remote place now, how can we get it?"

The last question was asked to Ye Shu, because she was a doctor and she had to apply for medicines and other supplies.

Ye Shu blushed and said, "I'll try my best."

Who to fight with?

It’s still with Huo Yisheng.

Seeing her utterly embarrassed, Mrs. Jin laughed, but fearing she might be shy, she quickly changed the subject: "We've never had this kind of trouble on Island No. 3 before. Everyone just wanted to have as many children as possible."

Ye Shu thought to himself: The domestic population is indeed expanding at this stage.

The topic ends here.

But Ye Shu's mind was not at peace. First of all, could she still give birth?

Second, the issue of family planning.

Some BYTs in China are now washed and used repeatedly, which can easily cause hygiene problems and affect the health of men and women, especially women.

Or it could be birth control pills, but birth control pills themselves are very harmful to the body, and the drugs developed during this period are even more harmful.

Finally, there is the IUD...

This thing really has its pros and cons...

Ye Shu thought about this issue and went to talk to Zheng Lan the next day.

Originally, she was going there that afternoon after giving acupuncture to Mr. Huang and Zong Hui the night before, and teaching the medical soldier and Yaya.

But she felt guilty. After all, she was trapped in the room by Huo Yisheng in the morning and was dragged around like that. In the afternoon, they had to talk about family planning. She was really thin-skinned and couldn't face the eyes of others.

But when she spoke the next day, Zheng Lan still smiled meaningfully.

Ye Shu sighed inwardly, but since he had already spoken, he could only shamelessly go for it:

"I'd like to ask Sister Zheng to investigate how many of the female comrades in our camp are considering birth control. After all, the environment here is not good..."

Then I talked about the disadvantages of BYT and IUDs.

Zheng Lan: "You're right. I've thought about this question a long time ago and have asked it openly and secretly."

"To be honest, not many people want birth control."

Seeing Ye Shu's surprise, she said, "Currently, the only one who has clearly stated that he doesn't want to have another child is Jin Yun."

Then he asked, "What about you? Do you want to have a baby?"

Ye Shu curled his lips and said, "I don't really want to for now. My three children are still young. If I have too many, there will be no one to take care of them."

"Then Sister Zheng, you...?"

Zheng Lan looked at her with a smile and said:

"Don't worry if you laugh at me, I still want to have more children. My Xiaojie and Juanjuan are both grown up, and I haven't had any children in all these years. Maybe I hurt myself when I gave birth to Juanjuan, or maybe it's because I had a hard time in the following years and lost my energy."

"Well, let it be."

Although it's all about fate, the tone of his voice still sounds full of anticipation.

She added, "But if you can apply for BYT, it's still good. We women lose a lot of money when we give birth, so we have to have children at a certain interval. As for hygiene issues, it's all a matter of personal choice."

"As for the IUD, I don't think anyone except Jin Yun would be willing to do it."
