Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Using a Condom is Not Safe

Cheng Su’s situation had stirred quite a buzz, and there was not a single person who didn’t sympathize with her. Neighbors from her building, including those who lived on the same floor, saw her return home from the hospital and brought eggs and other items to visit and comfort her.

Chunhua always remembered how Cheng Su had helped take care of her when she had her baby. Now that something had happened to Cheng Su, her mother-in-law and birth mother were there, so she didn’t need Chunhua’s care. Instead, Chunhua bought a basket of eggs and took them over.

”Why did you buy these? I have money; do I really lack a few eggs to eat? Keep them for yourself and your children,” Cheng Su said reproachfully.

”You have yours, and this is my goodwill. Besides, if I didn’t bring them over, Old Liang would be displeased!” Chunhua replied.

Liang Shurong also remembered Cheng Su’s kindness and had long instructed Chunhua to help out if possible, even buying some eggs to nourish her.

Cheng Su once again sighed. It was easy to kick someone when they’re down, but difficult to offer help amidst hardship. It wasn’t that she was in need of a few eggs, but rather that Chunhua’s family, despite not living in ease themselves, still offered their kindness. That was truly precious.

This couple always remembered favors. Even though Chunhua was a bit tactless in daily conversation, her heart was in the right place, and Cheng Su’s past kindness was not in vain.

”Then I thank you very much,” Cheng Su was not one for pretense, so she simply thanked her, thinking at most she would lend a hand in the future if there was an opportunity.

”Susu, have some soup,” Mother Cheng said as she brought in a bowl of soup and put it down.

Cheng Su leaned over and saw it was greasy chicken soup, which made her frown.

She rarely drank such greasy soup, feeling like it was more oil than broth, so the sight of the chicken soup made her throat feel clogged with grease.

”Mom, this is too oily,” Cheng Su resisted.

”All chicken soup looks like this. How else are you going to nourish your body if you don’t drink more?” Mother Cheng gave her a stern look, served some in a bowl, and said, ”Drink it while it’s hot.”

”Shouldn’t we skim the oil off first?” Cheng Su took a spoon and carefully scraped off the layer of chicken fat.

”You’re so fussy. In the past, we couldn’t even get such greasy food, and had to make do with just vegetables and grass,” Mother Cheng huffed. ”Aunt Cheng, times have changed. Young people these days don’t eat things that are too greasy,” Chunhua said with a smile, before telling Cheng Su, ”But you should still listen to your mom. It’s good stuff; the essence is all in there!”

Cheng Su certainly didn’t agree.

Mother Cheng went back to preparing the meal, and Chunhua looked around, not seeing her mother-in-law, and couldn’t help asking where she went.

”I have no idea, probably out wandering about,” Cheng Su said.

Chunhua made an ’oh’ sound, looked at her, and said, ”This incident is in the past now, don’t keep it on your mind too much, just focus on recovering first.”

Cheng Su smiled and nodded.

Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then asked, ”But to be honest, weren’t you using contraception? How did you still end up pregnant? You didn’t actually believe in that ’pulling out’ method that some people talk about, did you? Because that’s just not reliable.”

Cheng Su coughed, nearly spitting out her soup, and said, blushing, ”Nothing like that; we always use condoms.”

Although everyone involved was an adult, Cheng Su still felt bashful discussing such intimate matters with others.

Chunhua, not noticing her embarrassment, went on, ”See, even with a condom it’s unsafe. I guess I should just get an IUD, especially since we’re only allowed one child for now. It saves the trouble of condoms, which are uncomfortable for both parties, and they’re not safe. You never know if one might have a tear.”

Suspecting the quality, since Cheng Su got pregnant despite using condoms, who knew for sure? It wasn’t like one could check each one before use for tears, could they?
