"Aren't you curious why I haven't had any children after being married for so many years?" Tang Qianqian suddenly asked.
Tang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "What's so strange about that? Nowadays, many young people don't want to have children, and there are plenty of unmarried men in their thirties."
Tang Qianqian gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to have children... I went to the hospital for a checkup, and I have premature ovarian failure. The doctor said I probably won't be able to have children in this lifetime."
This... Tang Xiaoxiao really didn't expect it.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Looking at the perfectly healthy little girl, she actually...
Although Tang Xiaoxiao didn't believe that women had to have children, not wanting to have children and wanting to have children but not being able to are two different things.
Tang Qianqian is clearly the latter.
Although Tang Xiaoxiao didn't like her cousin much, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her: "Does the Xu family know? Is this why you want a divorce? Actually, with today's medical technology, IVF is quite common..."
“Their family knows. I went for the checkup with Xu Ziye, and at that time I didn’t think it was a problem with my body…” Tang Qianqian lowered her eyes and said indifferently, “Doing IVF would harm my body, and I don’t want to.”
Tang Xiaoxiao remained silent.
This is a fact. Not everyone is willing to make any unconditional sacrifices for a child. Tang Qianqian was unwilling, and no one can morally accuse her of being selfish.
"The Xu family gave me two choices. One was to have a child through IVF, and it had to be a boy. The other was that I could choose not to have the child, but I had to help them get in touch with you."
Tang Qianqian looked up at Tang Xiaoxiao and said sadly, "The Xu family's mining business can no longer be sustained. Mineral resources will eventually run out, and unlike the Shengli Group, they have not diversified their business. Now they are at their wits' end. They said they gave me two choices, but in fact, neither choice would have a good outcome for me."
Putting aside the question of how many IVF cycles are needed to succeed and how much harm it would cause to Tang Qianqian's body, the Xu family's insistence that it must be a boy is clearly making things difficult for her.
If she chooses the second option and asks Tang Xiaoxiao to help the Xu family, let alone whether she has that much influence with Tang Xiaoxiao, even if Tang Xiaoxiao really helps her, does she think the Xu family will treat her well?
Tang Xiaoxiao could guess from just these few words that if Tang Qianqian refused to have children and Tang Xiaoxiao really helped the Xu family, the Xu family might be afraid of Tang Xiaoxiao and wouldn't dare to let Tang Qianqian leave the family. However, the probability of Xu Ziye having an illegitimate child outside was practically 100%.
So this isn't a choice between two options; it's forcing Tang Qianqian to either obediently become a breeding machine or be completely exploited and end up with nothing.
It is a fact that Tang Qianqian has health problems, so even if this matter becomes a big deal, the Xu family is not necessarily in the wrong.
People have only had one son for three generations, so what's wrong with wanting an heir? This kind of thinking is still very deeply ingrained in Chinese society.
Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.
In her previous life, Tang Qianqian was still unmarried when she was reborn, so she didn't know what would happen to Tang Qianqian later.
Judging from her life trajectory alone, this cousin's life can hardly be considered good.
"If you've really decided to get a divorce, I'll agree to your job situation. Just bring your resume to the company and I'll make the arrangements," Tang Xiaoxiao promised.
