1st Story 10
Anya pursed her lips and smiled when she heard Qiao Zhi’s words. These are all her mother taught her by saying that to keep a man’s heart, you must first keep his stomach. These are all nonsense. To keep a man’s heart, you still need to be good enough in bed. Otherwise, why would her father give up his original partner who was good in all aspects of background, appearance and temperament but instead chose her own mother who was inferior in everything? Wasn’t it because her mother could put down her ‘figure’ on the bed and serve him? Her dad felt comfortable all over and due to that he couldn’t live without her mother for the rest of his life.
Now, she relied on this skill to keep Qiao Zhi. If not, the gap between her and Qiao Zhi is getting bigger and bigger and the Qiao family can squeeze juice out of her that she might have been kicked out by the Qiao family long ago.
Anya rubbed her stomach, thinking about what the doctor said when she went to the hospital for an examination a few days ago, she had injured her body due to the miscarriage last time, if she wanted to conceive a child, she would probably need an operation and surgery costs a lot of money.
“Azhi, I think, I want to have a child. Every time I think of our child, I feel so uncomfortable. It must be because he blames me, so he refuses to be reincarnated in my belly again!” Anya covered her face and began to cry.
Hearing Anya talk about that child again, Qiao Zhi felt slightly sad but more impatient. For the sake of the child, how many accusations he has blocked from his mother for Anya these years! He is in his thirties and doesn’t even have a child under his knees. People who know him say that he is affectionate and respects his wife. In fact, he was also a little impatient, especially since Anya would bring out the child every now and then!
“I also want to have a child! For this matter, my mother has talked a lot to me! But if you can’t give birth, what can I do? For so many years, I have worked hard on you!” Qiao Zhi sat up and said impatiently.
Anya froze when she heard what Qiao Zhi said and then covered her face and cried even harder.
Qiao Zhi was a little impatient, but seeing Anya crying so sadly, showing her white neck, thinking of the ecstasy of happiness just now, heis heart softened again, and he hurried over and hugged her in his arms, “Okay, okay, you If you want a child, then go for it! But if you can’t conceive, then I can’t help it!”
Hearing what Qiao Zhi said, Anya stopped crying, for fear that going too far would make Qiao Zhi unhappy. Quickly wiped away tears, “Ah Zhi, I went to the hospital to inquire about it. In my case, I can do an operation, called test-tube baby. It is very common in Hong Kong. A few years ago in the mainland, Beijing has been able to do it, now it can be done in Shanghai too. I’ve already made inquiries. But, Ah Zhi, the cost of the operation…”
Qiao Zhi has also heard about test-tube babies. Although he doesn’t approve of it, he would be happy if he could have a child of his own. Hearing that it would cost a lot of money, she frowned, “How much will it cost?”
Anya bit her lip and said, “It will probably cost more than a hundred thousand!”
“What! So much money! How can our family have so much money? !” Qiao Zhi said angrily.
Anya hurriedly said: “I also know the situation at home. I can’t afford so much money for a while, but we can go out to borrow money, or use the house at home to mortgage the loan! You are a university teacher, and I can do go out to work after giving birth, the eldest sister is already working and the younger sister will graduate next year, so she can earn money. We can pay it back. If Mom knows it’s for the children, she will agree. Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi!” Anya begged.
Qiao Zhi hesitated and didn’t agree on the spot, “You let me think about it carefully! Let’s talk about it tomorrow!” After speaking, he turned over and fell asleep.
Anya looked at Qiao Zhi helplessly, and sighed, thinking that if she could serve Qiao Zhi well tomorrow, she must persuade him to agree. She thought about saving enough money before mentioning the surgery. But seeing Gao Ran today made her vigilant. You have to have a child as soon as possible. Once you have a child, your position will be considered stable. Half of what she said just now was lying to Qiao Zhi. After having a child, she didn’t plan to go out to work. For so many years, she has worked so hard for the Qiao family, now, it’s time for those bitches to pay back for herself! She didn’t believe that with a grandson, Qiao’s mother would squeeze her daughter-in-law to subsidize her daughter! Hmph, with Qiao’s mother’s temperament, she will definitely squeeze her daughter to make up for her grandson. When the time comes, just watch those two sluts, Qiao An and Qiao Le crying! Taking a step back, even if Qiao’s mother refused to subsidize her, I have saved about 10,000 yuan over the years by saving money and trying to get money from Qiao Zhi. Enough to live with yourself and your kids for a while. Besides, there is Qiao Zhi, he is a university teacher with a monthly salary of 260 it is more than enough! She didn’t believe that between a young child and an adult sister, Qiao Zhi would continue to choose the latter!
As long as you have children, your life will get better and better. Anya smiled confidently, and fell asleep beside Qiao Zhi.
At noon the next day, Anya came to the university where Qiao Zhi was teaching but instead of going in, she asked someone to call Qiao Zhi. She was still wearing the uniform of a coffee shop, so she didn’t dare to go in, she just wandered in the alley outside the school.
“Azhi, how are your thoughts about the operation? I have already discussed with the boss. The boss said that I usually perform well and promised to lend me some money. Azhi, please, please agree! I really want to have a baby for you, Ah Zhi!” Anya begged.
Qiao Zhi sighed. He also thought about it all morning and felt that what Anya said made sense. Over the years, Anya has paid a lot for him and the Qiao family. Now she just wants a child, his two younger sisters are also bid now, they could get money from home every month and there is also him! Now the hospital is evaluating the job title, if the evaluation is accepted, the salary will go up even more!
“Okay. I agree.”
“Really! Thank you, Azhi!” Anya was so happy that she almost threw herself on Qiao Zhi regardless of the occasion. Qiao Zhi frowned and took two steps back before Anya realized, “I’m sorry, Ah Zhi, I lost my mind!”
Qiao Zhi looked at Anya, who was flushed with excitement wearing a uniform, with a deep eyes after looked left and right found there was no one, he leaned into Anya’s ear and said, “This dress is beautiful, wear it for me tonight!”
Anya lowered her head shyly, her heart was full of joy, as long as Qiao Zhi agreed to the operation, let alone wear this dress , even if she doesn’t wear anything, she is also happy. “Okay, I’m going back to work, you should go back too! I’ll wait for you to go home together tonight.”
Qiao Zhi nodded, straightened his clothes and strode out, as if he was dignified again.
Because of the fulfillment of her wish, Anya was in a state of joy all afternoon. After get off work, she changed her clothes and went to the school gate to wait for Qiao Zhi. Under the envious eyes of others, the two walked away in arm. I could hear other people whispering behind me, “Look at that, that’s Mrs. Qiao’s wife. I heard that the two were together when they went to the countryside and they never separate. The husband and wife stayed together for so many years. The relationship is so good!”
“Yes, I heard that Teacher Qiao’s wife is also a scholar. Although she didn’t go to college, Teacher Qiao didn’t dislike her. He usually praises his wife very much. He is a good man!”
Qiao Zhi and Anya hearing these words, he smiled with satisfaction.
It’s a pity that such joy disappeared after returning to Qiao’s house! As soon as she entered the door, Qiao’s mother sat on the sofa in the living room with a straight face, Qiao An and Qiao Le also stood behind Qiao’s mother with a straight face. Seeing Qiao Zhi and Anya coming in, Qiao An couldn’t hold back, and snorted, ” Brother, you are still with this woman! Do you know how many things she lied to you?” Qiao Zhi frowned, “An An, Anya is your sister-in-law. What with this woman!”
Qiao Le, said in a soft voice: “Brother, don’t blame sister. I’m also angry and she was just complaining for my brother.”
Qiao Zhi’s face softened after hearing this, “What’s going on?”
Qiao An glared at Anya and gloatingly said “Brother, Anya has been lying to you. I told you yesterday that she knew the chairman of Xifangnian, but she didn’t admit it. I went to inquire today, brother, you guess, who is the chairman of Xifangnian? Brother, you know her too!”
Anya’s face turned pale, and she said anxiously: “Qiao An, please stop talking, didn’t you say you like that bag? Sister-in-law will buy it for you tomorrow, okay? Don’t tell, okay?”
“Bah! Who cares that you buy me a bag! Don’t think that this little favor can get rid of me!” Qiao An said disdainfully.
Qiao An was excited about what she said, but she didn’t notice that Qiao Zhi’s face had changed, Qiao Le who was next to her, saw it and felt bad. Sure enough, Anya over there fell into Qiao Zhi’s arms with an unbearable appearance, “An’an, how can you say that about me! How have I treated you as a sister-in-law for so many years? Ask yourself, there is nothing wrong with my treatment or conduct! It’s just a bag, and that bag costs more than two hundred yuan, which would cost your brother a month’s salary! Yes, I can buy it for you without spending your brother’s money, but I also want to save more money and buy a better bag for your brother. Isn’t it shabby for him as a college teacher who carries a bag worth tens of dollars all day? You can’t frame me just because I don’t buy you a bag. Ah Zhi!” As she spoke, Anya buried her head in Qiao Zhi’s arms and began to cry.
Qiao Zhi’s face was dark. He always knew that Qiao An liked to compare and spend money recklessly. He didn’t expect it to be so excessive. As an eldest brother, he only carried a bag worth tens of dollars. She was lucky, dared to ask for more than two hundred dollars! Anya works everywhere every day, earning only four to five hundred yuan a month, she is reluctant to add clothes and buy things for herself, how dare she ask.
“An An, is what your sister-in-law telling the truth! Your sister-in-law has worked so hard for your study for so many years. Is this how you repay her? Where have your read all your books? Mom, just look at Qiao An, don’t you care?”
