Qiao Anhao walked over to the sofa and sat back down. After listening to their conversation for a while, she pretended to remember something. Turning her head, she said to Qiao Anxia, "Sis, a few days ago, when I was filming, I was talking to a female crew member. She told me something really sad."
"What was it?" Qiao Anxia put down the phone that she was texting Cheng Yang with, and moved closer to Qiao Anhao with a serious look on her face.
Qiao Anhao purposely raised her voice, saying to Qiao Anxia, "She's married. Her husband's mother, her mother-in-law, really wants a son, but her first child is a daughter. Because of the strict family planning regulations, they can only have one child. If they have a second child, they'll be fined a lot, and their finances aren't that good either."
Qiao Anhao's story was obviously about family matters, and for Mother Qiao and Han Ruchu, who were already married and had grown up children, these were the things that interested them the most.
So when Qiao Anhao paused for a moment, Mother Qiao anxiously asked, "Qiao Qiao, what happened next?"
"Her husband loved her very much, and even though he wanted a son, she couldn't bear to abort the child, so the two of them decided to give birth to the child."
"Even though her mother-in-law was very reluctant, she agreed, but she told them that they had to have a second child, and that the second child had to be a son."
"The two of them lived in Beijing, and the pressure was too much, so they rejected the mother-in-law's suggestion. The mother-in-law cried, threw a tantrum, and threatened to hang herself for a long time. In the end, because of her son's overbearing attitude, she compromised."
"Because of this, the mother-in-law didn't contact her for half a month. Then, for some reason, she came to Beijing, saying that she wanted to take care of her."
"After all, she was her husband's mother, and seeing that her mother-in-law was being nice to her, she definitely couldn't put on airs, so she treated her mother-in-law like her own mother."
"Both her husband and her husband had to work, and even though they were very tired, every time they came home, the mother-in-law would prepare meals, and the two of them didn't have to do any housework. It was a very happy time."
"But the mother-in-law had only been here for half a month. When she went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, the doctor told her that the fetus that already had a heartbeat during her last checkup had died in her womb!"
When Qiao Anhao said the last two words "the baby died in the womb", she purposely emphasized her words. She even said it through gritted teeth, causing Han Ruchu and the housekeeper, who had been listening intently to her story, to stiffen.
Mother Qiao, on the other hand, cried out in alarm. She had a guilty and regretful look on her face. "How did the baby die in the womb without any rhyme or reason?"
"That's right. Why did it die in the womb? At that time, she also asked herself the same question. She thought it was because she was too busy with work, so she was very sad. But after the surgery, the doctor told her that the blood test in her body showed sleeping pills. "
"Sleeping pills?!" Mother Qiao shouted in surprise again: "Pregnant can't take sleeping pills, how can she be a mother!"
"It's because she can't take sleeping pills when she's pregnant, that's why her mother-in-law puts sleeping pills in her food every day!" Qiao Anhao slowly spat out these words in a very soft voice.
