Early in the morning, Shen Lan ate a few mouthfuls of food and then said to her husband Jin Xinliang, "I have something to do at my work. I'll go early today and leave first."
She trotted all the way to the nearest ATM to their home. She breathed for a long time, but she still couldn't suppress her accelerated heartbeat.
She inserted her bank card into the card slot, entered Jin Xinliang's usual password, and sure enough, she went in directly.
html After checking the balance at 3 o'clock, Shen Lan closed her eyes subconsciously and took a deep breath before opening them. The eye-catching 60,000 yuan was quietly lying on the account.
Looking at the head of the household again, Asterisk Fen, Shen Lan pulled out the card, found a nearby step, and sat for a while before getting up. She felt like her mind was blank, with no thoughts at all.
The head of the household with this card is her mother-in-law, and based on Shen Lan’s understanding of her mother-in-law, it is impossible for her to leave the money with Jin Xinliang. Because I have to guard against her as my daughter-in-law.
The only explanation is that Jin Xinliang asked his mother-in-law to open a blank card for him. He deposited his private money on this card, and his mother-in-law also knew about his operation.
Shen Lan thought about how she had been so anxious recently, unable to sleep, borrowing money from everywhere, and preparing for in vitro fertilization. Jin Xinliang just watched, refusing to take out his private money no matter what. Didn't he want a child?
She and Jin Xinliang have been married for more than two years and have never had children. They are both very anxious. After much deliberation, they decided to go to the hospital for a checkup to feel at ease. Unexpectedly, Jin Xinliang was diagnosed with asthenozoospermia.
After the two of them returned home, they were like deflated rubber balls. Shen Lan sat there blankly. She looked at Jin Xinliang, who leaned his head on the back of the sofa and covered his face with his hands. Shen Lan took the test sheet in her hand and read it again and again. She didn't know how to comfort Jin Xinliang. She also needed to be comforted.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time. Shen Lan took Jin Xinliang's hand down, looked into his red eyes and said, "Don't worry, it's not that there is no hope at all, it's just that the chances are smaller. Besides, so many couples live well without children."
Jin Xinliang nodded numbly, pulled Shen Lan over, and pressed his head on her shoulder. Shen Lan patted him gently.
But this matter really cannot be said to be something that will just go away.
For many days in a row, Jin Xinliang could not cheer up. He felt as if he was hit by frost every day. When someone came to the house, he wanted to hide away. When his mother mentioned the child to him, he got angry and asked his mother if she could stop pressing her.
Shen Lan knew that this was Jin Xinliang's heart knot, and the diagnosis hurt his man's self-esteem.
Lying in bed at night, Jin Xinliang said to Shen Lan, "In the future, if people ask us why we still don't have children, can we just say that it's not easy for you, Gong Han, to get pregnant? Even if my mother asks, we will say so."
I am a grown man, and if I let others know that it is my problem, I am really embarrassed to show off to others.
Shen Lan said in embarrassment: "Your mother has always found trouble with me. If she said it was my problem, she would be even less likely to give me a good look in the future." Jin Xinliang told her that he was there and he would protect her.
Shen Lan agreed.
Jin Xinliang pulled her into his arms and held her arms tightly.
02
The two of them thought about having no children. As they get older and older, they will inevitably feel deserted. Waiting is not the solution. It is better to try in vitro fertilization.
After some inquiring, I found out that the cost of an in vitro fertilization is about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and it is rarely successful in just one try. The two took stock of their savings over the past two years and found that the family did not have fifty thousand yuan in total.
On the weekend night, at the dining table of her mother-in-law’s house, Shen Lan kept touching Jin Xinliang with her elbow, hinting that he would mention borrowing money. Her mother-in-law immediately became unhappy when she saw it, “If you have anything to do, just tell me and stop using my son as a weapon.

Her mother-in-law immediately became unhappy when she saw it, “If you have anything to do, just tell me and stop using my son as a weapon."
Jin Xinliang put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, we plan to do in vitro fertilization and don't have enough money. Let's see if you can lend us some?" "
" Why do you want to do in vitro fertilization? Jin Xinliang coughed dryly, "It's not easy for Xiaolan Gonghan to get pregnant." "
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lan could feel the two cold gleams in her mother-in-law's eyes, heading straight towards her.
After a long while, her mother-in-law said in a strange tone, "Someone else's son will get married and become a grandmother the next year. I have been waiting for two years. What's going on now? If I want a grandson, I have to spend money on it, right? If she can't get pregnant, why should I and her parents pay for it? "
Jin Xinliang said, "Isn't the child born with our family name? After all, he is also your biological grandson. Besides, we will not return it, or we will give him some time." "
" Don't even think about it. The children who marry you will be my grandchildren. If she can't get pregnant, you can replace her with someone else. "
Shen Lan's face suddenly changed. Jin Xinliang looked bad and quickly rubbed her back to comfort her.
Now the mother-in-law was even more reluctant, "You are so old, I can't say anything.
Shen Lan stood up, picked up his bag and walked out. After a while, Jin Xinliang caught up with him and said, "Honey, you have been wronged. Don't be as knowledgeable as my mother. I will talk to her later and we will find another way." "
Shen Lan returned to her parents' home, and her mother got her 20,000 yuan. She said that the family's current deposit was so much, and there was still 100,000 yuan in time deposits that would mature in another half a year. It would be a pity to collect the lost interest now. If she can wait, wait first, and if she is in a hurry, take it out for her.
Shen Lan's eyes were red, she said enough, she still had some left.
When she got home, Shen Lan told Jin Xinliang, "You are really stupid. Just let them take it out first. In the worst case, we will pay back the interest later." "
Shen Lan was a little unhappy and said to him, "What do you know? My parents are old and have some money in their hands. We've all been allowed to use it, but what if they have something to worry about later? If you think about it again, the money you have now is only a small amount, and there are still expenses that we don’t know about, so we have to borrow more anyway. "
Jin Xinliang stopped talking.
03
The day came when she and Jin Xinliang went to her mother-in-law's house again. Shen Lan really didn't want to go anymore, facing the harsh words that she shouldn't have to bear. She said she had to work overtime and let Jin Xinliang go back alone.
Shen Lan went home and ate a few mouthfuls of rice and lay on the bed for a while. , she was really bored and planned to organize her wardrobe.
It was time to change seasons, and Shen Lan decided to make a big splash. She tore out all the clothes in the closet and the drawer under the bed. She put away what needed to be put away, threw away what needed to be thrown away, and re-washed the clothes that needed to be worn.
Among the piles of clothes, Shen Lan saw Jin Xinliang's dark jacket. Maybe it's because the color has changed over time. Shen Lan thought for a while and planned to put it in the used clothes recycling bin in the community.
She touched the pockets of her clothes one by one, for fear that something would fall inside. Unexpectedly, she found a bank card from China Construction Bank in the zippered pocket of her sleeve.
Shen Lan took out the card and looked at it for a long time. Her heart was heavy. The appearance of this card proved that Jin Xinliang had spent all his efforts to hide it from her.
She suddenly lost her mood to tidy up, and put the rest of her confiscated clothes in a pile in the cabinet. She didn't want to do anything to find out how much money was in this card.
Shen Lan took a bath and went to bed early, thinking over and over again.
Jin Xinliang went home that night, but Shen Lan didn't mention anything about it.
She decided to check the amount at the cash machine the next day and then ask Jin Xinliang for an explanation. If it was really three thousand or two thousand private money, he might have kept it to drink with his buddies, which would be excusable. If it were more, the nature would change.
What Shen Lan didn't expect was that there was actually 60,000 yuan in this card, and this was when she was struggling to borrow money for in vitro fertilization.
04
Shen Lan took a day off and wandered around alone on the street, feeling empty.
This man she thought she wanted to spend her life with, when she was borrowing money from everywhere in order to give him a child, when she was taking the blame for him, he could hide her private money so safely, Shen Lan wanted to cry just thinking about it.
When I got home in the evening, Jin Xinliang was putting food on the table and said that she was really good at sticking food. Shen Lan fell into a trance immediately. Before this, she must have felt warm in her heart at this moment. But at this moment she couldn't tell whether he was sincere or fake towards her.
Shen Lan sat listlessly on the floor and took a few mouthfuls of rice, put down her chopsticks, took off her bag from the hook on the wall, took out the card from the outermost zipper pocket and placed it on the table.
Jin Xinliang was stunned for a moment, and said with an unnatural smile, "Why is this card in your hand? I obviously hid it very secretly?"
Shen Lan was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him and asked him what was going on. Jin Xinliang said it was his own personal money and asked him to help hold it.
Shen Lan just looked at him with her eyes open and telling lies. She knew that her mother-in-law had financial power since she married into their family. Where does she need to hide her private money? All the money in the family is in her hands.
Shen Lan went down the stairs and said, since your mother has hidden all her private money with you, we just need the money, so we will use it first, and then we will make up for her later.
Jin Xinliang said, "This is not possible. If my mother needs it temporarily, we can give her whatever she wants."
Shen Lan looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, as if she had never known him.
In front of Jin Xinliang, she took out her mobile phone and dialed her mother-in-law directly. The phone was on speakerphone: "Mom, the 100,000 yuan you gave Xinliang here, lend us 50,000 yuan first, and we will return it to you when we recover."
The mother-in-law on the other end of the phone spoke. He paused obviously, and then said in the tone that Shen Lan expected, "Oh, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you. I only saved this 100,000 yuan in pension money behind your father's back. I'm afraid that if there is someone in the family, your father won't take the money from home. You also know that your grandma is so old..." Before she could finish, Shen Lan hung up the phone.
She looked up at Jin Xinliang. His face turned red and white. Finally, Shen Lan said feebly, "How about we get divorced."
After saying that, she left Jin Xinliang there to dry, went back to the house, packed a few pieces of her own clothes, and returned to her parents' home.

Two days later, Jin Xinliang came to pick up Shen Lan and promised her again and again that he would never dare to do it again. All the money was handed over, and Shen Lan did not go back with him.
A few days later, Jin Xinliang came over with her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law said that she had harshly spoken to her son, and that she had not considered it at the time. Shen Lan still did not go home with Jin Xinliang.
Shen Lan's mother also advised her that the couple lived a bumpy life. Besides, he knew he was wrong and promised not to do it again in the future. Shen Lan was shaken.
Another week later, Jin Xinliang came, but Shen Lan still didn't give him a good look. She packed her clothes on her own.
Jin Xinliang took a long time to speak and said: "You can get a divorce. The house is in my father's name and has nothing to do with you. In addition, asthenozoospermia is my personal privacy. I don't want others to know. I hope that after the divorce, you will keep it a secret for me. I will compensate you and give you all our family's savings."
Shen Lan put the clothes he had just packed back into the cabinet.
She raised her head and looked at him jokingly, "Why should I keep secrets for you? We are divorced, and if I keep secrets for you, it will delay my remarriage."
Jin Xinliang said that he could give her all of my 60,000 yuan. Shen Lan said casually, "Besides, if you can give me another 50,000 yuan, I am willing to sign a confidentiality agreement with you. "She knew that Jin Xinliang had no place to find another 50,000 yuan, so she just wanted to make things difficult for him.
"I agree. "Jin Xinliang agreed happily.
Shen Lan smiled, with tears in her eyes.
She actually knocked on the person beside her. She didn't know how disgusting she looked at that time.
She didn't know that she was either No matter what kind of person she married, he couldn't borrow money to have children, but for his so-called self-esteem, he could.
She wiped the tears on her face, and she never wanted to go back to the place where he was.
"When the money is in my account, I will go through the formalities with you, the sooner the better. " Shen Lan said.
Marriage requires courage, and divorce also requires courage. If you are in this marriage, you will only get hurt. If the man who is accompanying you only has yourself in mind, what is the meaning of maintaining a marriage?
