My name is Wang Yan. My daughter just got into college this year. Today, when I was cleaning the storage room, I discovered a huge secret.
Zhao Yifan and I got married when we were 25 years old. We were high school classmates and we started dating in the second year of high school. We got married as soon as we graduated. After we got married, we were both busy with work and wanted to save money to buy a house in the city.
My mother-in-law often urges us to have a child. At the beginning, she gently advises us: "You just need to give birth to the child. I will help you take care of the child and will never delay your work." But for two consecutive years, I have no news of my pregnancy, and my mother-in-law is no longer polite to me, and often openly and secretly says that I am a hen that does not lay eggs. I was very angry after hearing too much, so I said to Zhao Yifan, "Why don't we have a baby." Since then, we no longer took any measures, but strangely, my stomach has not moved for a long time.
Mother-in-law often tells us who has a fat boy after half a year of marriage, and who has a second child. Every time I hear my mother-in-law’s chant, I feel a tingling pain in my heart. I don’t know why I am not pregnant, and I am afraid that it is my own reason. In the fourth year of marriage, my mother-in-law got the prescription from somewhere and cooked Chinese medicine for me to drink. My mother-in-law told me that this was bought for a lot of money and that she would definitely get pregnant after drinking it. I saw that the black medicine soup was picked up and wanted to drink it, but Zhao Yifan abolished it. My mother-in-law was so angry that she cursed, saying that we were unfilial and committed evil! Zhao Yifan advised his mother-in-law, "Mom, how can I take medicine casually! We will go to the hospital for examination tomorrow, and I will talk about it later."
After hearing my husband's words, I was scared and worried that I would find any problem. Zhao Yifan advised me to be calm and not to be nervous. The next day, we went to the town hospital for examination and got the test results that afternoon. In the hospital, I looked at the report sheet and beat Zhao Yifan's back hard, and I burst into tears, "It's your problem! It's not me! How many ugly things your mother said! How many blame have I taken!" I cried while accusing my grievances. I saw Zhao Yifan leaning in the corner and shed tears silently.
When I got home, I went back to the room directly, and my mother-in-law asked behind me, "How is the inspection result? Do you have any problems!" At that moment, I broke out. In the past two years, I have been worried about my problems, so I can't raise my head in front of my mother-in-law, and have endured so many cold words. I said hysterically, "You have a problem! Your whole family has a problem!" After that, I closed the door.
My mother-in-law was stunned and wanted to scold me again. Zhao Yifan put the examination results in front of her. Her mother-in-law shook her body. She didn't believe that there was something wrong with his son. But as a result, the mother-in-law cried and said, "Son, I will treat you no matter how much money I spend!" Zhao Yifan didn't say anything, but just stood there blankly.
Since then, my mother-in-law has begun to inquire about various folk remedies for treating infertility. Bowls of medicine are poured into Zhao Yifan's mouth. Two years have passed, but my stomach has not moved at all. During this period, I thought about divorce, but every time I was beaten back by Zhao Yifan's hard work. I love him, even if we don't have children, our relationship is not fake. Finally we decided to adopt a child and we had my current daughter.
After adopting my daughter, my mother-in-law even asked me about my well-being. I work with peace of mind every day, and my daughter is taken care of by my mother-in-law very caring. Every day after get off work, my mother-in-law prepares supper. Sometimes I think, fortunately, there was no divorce, otherwise where would I have come from such a happy life now?
Now we have our own small family in the city, and our daughter has also been admitted to university. One day when I was cleaning the storage room, a piece of yellowed paper suddenly appeared in front of me. I was shocked, but I didn't expect that it was me who showed infertility on this test sheet. I threw the paper in front of Zhao Yifan and asked him what he meant? Zhao Yifan told me the truth: He checked himself in advance and had no problems. I was the one who had problems with the inspection together! He knew that if my mother-in-law knew that I had a problem, she would definitely let us get divorced. He can only forge inspection reports, so that he can keep me.
I hugged this man tightly, tears falling from rain.
