It’s just that the cost of growing up is too high and too painful.
Yun Qiao thought that if Cui Xuezhi could choose in life, she would definitely not want to be forced to mature under such circumstances.
Perhaps because of the careful care taken by her mother, Cui Xuezhi looked pretty good. She sat and chatted with everyone for a while without looking tired.
Xiang Ling picked up the child and let everyone see her. Because of the accident at birth, the little girl stayed in the intensive care unit for more than ten days before she was released. She looked thinner than ordinary children, but her skin was fair, and when she opened her eyes, you could see her double eyelids with deep wrinkles, her nose was straight, and although her mouth was slightly upturned, it was not difficult to see that she was a future beauty.
Cui Xuezhi is very pretty and Dong Dingbang is a handsome man, so it is natural that their daughter will not be bad either.
Everyone stayed in Cui Xuezhi's house for a while. They first showed concern for her health, and then praised the child for being well-grown and cute. But when the child started crying, they tacitly said goodbye and left.
Whenever the child cries, either because he has peed or defecated, or because he is hungry and wants milk, someone always needs to clean up the mess.
So Xiang Ling didn't keep them. He called the nanny who was taking care of the children to come and see what was going on, and then he personally sent them to the door.
Just as Yun Qiao was following the crowd out, Cui Xuezhi suddenly called out to her from behind: "Qin Yun Qiao, wait a moment."
Her shout not only stopped Yun Qiao, but also caused almost everyone to turn around.
Yun Qiao looked at her with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Cui Xuezhi nodded: "Well, I have something to ask you."
Yun Qiao: "What's the matter?"
Cui Xuezhi pursed her lips and said nothing.
So everyone realized that she wanted to ask Yun Qiao alone.
Gao Qian patted Yun Qiao's shoulder and said, "Yun Qiao, stay and talk to Comrade Cui. I'll wait for you outside."
Yun Qiao said, "Don't wait for me. We don't know how long we'll talk. Go back to the clinic first. I'll go back later."
"Can you do it yourself?" Gao Qian subconsciously looked at Yun Qiao's belly.
Yun Qiao nodded: "It's okay."
Xiang Ling took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, I will let Xiao Hai drive Comrade Yun Qiao back later."
Gao Qian then left, "Then I'll leave first."
"good."
Yun Qiao followed Xiang Ling to send the person away, and then returned to Cui Xuezhi's room.
When I entered the house, the nanny had already changed the child's diaper and opened the window a little to let the smell dissipate.
The baby was crying because he had poop stuck to his body and was uncomfortable. Once he was put on a clean diaper, the crying stopped immediately.
The nanny took the basin out to wash the diapers. Xiang Ling went out and left the door half-open to give Cui Xuezhi some private space.
Cui Xuezhi glanced at Yun Qiao, raised her hand and patted the edge of the bed: "Sit down."
"good."
Yun Qiao sat down on the edge of the bed.
Cui Xuezhi did not speak to Yun Qiao immediately. She sat on the bed, tilted her head and looked down at her daughter lying on the bed. Her face was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking in her empty eyes.
This kind of Cui Xuezhi was extremely unfamiliar to Yun Qiao. Compared with before, she was so quiet that she seemed like a completely different person.
Yun Qiao was in a complicated mood and took the initiative to break the silence: "Cui Xuezhi, what do you want to ask me?"
Cui Xuezhi was silent for a while before she finally spoke: "Actually, there's nothing to ask. Even if I ask, there won't be any answer."
"...Uh." Yun Qiao was puzzled: "If you don't have anything to ask, then why did you call me?"
"Maybe, you want to find someone to talk to me?"
At this point, Cui Xuezhi paused, then suddenly laughed at herself: "Do you think I'm crazy for talking to my former love rival? But I really can't find anyone else to talk to."
She used to be too pretentious and had poor relationships with others. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a single friend to talk to.
Cui Xuezhi looked fragile and vulnerable at this moment. Yun Qiao felt a little soft-hearted and said, "No, the past is all in the past."
Cui Xuezhi: "You are quite open-minded."
Yun Qiao smiled and said nothing.
Cui Xuezhi sighed softly and said, "Qin Yunqiao, I admit that you win. I used to be unwilling to accept it, but it was only after I nearly died that I realized that someone like me would never be able to live a happy life no matter who I marry."
Yun Qiao: "Don't say that. The fact that you can think this way means that you have changed, and your future will be fine."
Cui Xuezhi shook her head. "It's not going to get better. Dong Dingbang and I have come this far. There's no turning back."
"How can there be no turning back? Since we've reached a dead end, we should turn around in time."
Cui Xuezhi still shook her head: "My family doesn't agree with our divorce."
"?" Yun Qiao frowned. "But didn't you move all the furniture you brought as a dowry from the Dong family? Why would you move the furniture if you're not getting a divorce?"
"My family never intended for me to divorce Dong Dingbang. We only moved the furniture to put pressure on Dong Dingbang and get him to send his mother back home as soon as possible." Cui Xuezhi smiled bitterly. "My uterus was removed. Did you know about this?"
"...Yeah." Yun Qiao nodded hesitantly, "I understand."
"I'm no longer able to have children. If I divorce and go back to my parents' home, there's no place for me there."
"How could that be? I think your mother still loves you very much." Yun Qiao comforted her: "She rushed all the way here when you were in trouble. During the time you were in the hospital, she took good care of you."
Cui Xuezhi smiled bitterly: "My mother loves me, but I have three brothers in my mother's family. My mother has to consider the opinions of my three sisters-in-law. If I divorce and go back to my mother's family, I have to consider where to live first. Although my mother's family has an independent house, because there is no grandparents' house, my three brothers all live with me, and each of them can only barely have one room.
When I came to Songjiang, my second and third brothers were still unmarried. In the past few months, they have married and had children, and they have taken up all the rooms in the house. There is no empty room in the house that belongs to me alone.
When she went home to visit her family a few days ago, her room had been converted into a children's room with a partition in the middle, giving her eldest brother's daughter and her second brother's daughter half each. When she came home, she could only sleep on the balcony of her old master bedroom.
A short stay to visit relatives is okay for a while, but if you divorce and move back to your parents' home to live there for a long time, do you have to make do with it for the rest of your life?
What's more, her mother revealed that if she divorced and returned home, she would introduce her to another partner and marry her off in two days.
By that time, she was a divorced woman and was infertile. Which good man would be willing to marry her?
Those who are getting married for the first time don’t have to think about it, but anyone who wants to have children will not marry her.
Unless she is also remarried and has children, and you don't expect her to have another child, marrying her will make her a stepmother, raising the previous child, and all her hard work will end up in vain.
It would be better not to divorce Dong Dingbang.
After all, he was the child's biological father, and a young and promising military officer with a bright future. If she divorced and looked for someone else, she would never find such good conditions.
When she first talked about divorce, her mother supported her for a while. Later, she called her parents' home, and after her father persuaded her and her three brothers and sisters-in-law analyzed the matter, they told her to give up the idea.
Divorce is impossible. Now it depends on Dong Dingbang's attitude to decide when to "forgive each other and reconcile".
If Cui Xuezhi doesn't want to divorce, Yun Qiao won't be able to persuade her to divorce, but she really can't bring herself to say anything about trying to reconcile...
Things have come to this point. Even if we reconcile, can the relationship be the same as before?
Just like a broken mirror, even if you glue it back together, the crack will still be there.
Yun Qiao was silent for a while.
Fortunately, Cui Xuezhi had no intention of asking for her opinion.
Cui Xuezhi asked her, "We all live in the same alley, so we're close enough that we see each other every day. Have you paid attention to Dong Dingbang and that guy surnamed Wang these past few days?"
Cui Xuezhi hated Wang Yue so much that she stopped calling her "Mom" and continued to call her "Wang".
Yun Qiao didn't react at first. After two or three seconds, he remembered that the man surnamed Wang was referring to Wang Yue.
She didn't want to get involved in this war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she said, "No, I don't know."
Cui Xuezhi was a little skeptical: "Really? She's been jumping around all day, haven't you heard anything about it?"
Yun Qiao shook her head. "I really don't know. I'm four months pregnant now, and I always feel tired, so apart from going to and from get off work, I rarely go out."
"Well, forget it if you don't know." Cui Xuezhi said worriedly, "Dong Dingbang is delaying sending her away. She must be trying hard to find a way to stay here."
"She almost killed me this time. I definitely can't live with her anymore. If Dong Dingbang doesn't send her away, I won't be able to live a single day."
Yun Qiao didn't care about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's game, but she was curious about what happened on the day Cui Xuezhi got into trouble, so she asked, "What happened that day? It was raining so hard outside, the road was slippery, and you were pregnant, how could you dare to run out to the bathroom alone?"
