It was Chen Yang's mother, Qiao Anxia's mother-in-law.
When the phone rang, Qiao Anxia was squatting in front of the trash can, peeling garlic. When she heard the ringtone, she slightly raised her head and glanced at the phone on the dining chair beside her. When she saw the caller ID, she didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heart suddenly sank, and after a long while, she stood up, picked up the phone, and picked it up. "Mom."
"Xia Xia, are you busy? Why did you pick up so late? "As Qiao Anxia's voice fell, Chen Yang's mother's gentle voice came through the phone.
"No..." Qiao Anxia lowered her eyelids, and gave a simple explanation. "I'm cooking..."
"What about Chen Yang? Didn't he help you? "
"He drank some alcohol, he's sleeping."
"That child... drank too much again? He's always like this... "His mother's voice carried a hint of reproach.
"He didn't drink much..." Qiao Anxia hurriedly explained, then changed the topic. "Mom, why did you call me?"
"Nothing much, it's just that …" Mrs. Cheng paused for a moment before continuing. "Xiaxia, you and Chen Yang have been married for eight years. Don't you have any intention of having a child?"
"Mom..." Qiao Anxia didn't know what to say.
Her mother seemed to feel that her question was a little too abrupt, so she laughed and said, "Xia Xia, actually, I didn't call to force you to have a child immediately, I just wanted to ask you when you plan to have a child. You and Chen Yang aren't young anymore, and you're considered an older woman. In a few years, I'm afraid you won't be able to have a child even if you want to... "
"Xiaxia, I've spoken to Chen Yang on the phone. I know the two of you don't want children. The problem lies with Chen Yang. He said that he doesn't want children right now and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with the two of you. That's not right. In a few years, you'll understand how important children are to a family. Without children, how can a family be considered …"
"Cheng Yang is muddle-headed, but you mustn't be muddle-headed like him. Besides, Cheng Yang is the only child in the Cheng family. His grandfather has always been looking forward to having a grandson. His grandfather's lifelong wish …"
"Xiaxia, if you're really busy, I can help you take care of the baby after you give birth. Xiaxia, you've been married to Cheng Yang for so many years and I've never asked for anything from you. Can you discuss the baby with Cheng Yang?"
Qiao Anxia leaned against the dining table, listening to Mother Cheng's gentle words over the phone. Her face was as white as a sheet, and she gripped the garlic in her hands tightly. After a long time, she squeezed out, "Mom, I understand. I'll talk to Chen Yang."
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, it was as if she had just heard music from heaven. She reminded Qiao Anxia that she had to have a child, then said a few more words of concern before hanging up.
The kitchen was very quiet. Qiao Anxia was in a daze for about ten minutes before she slowly crouched in front of the bin. As though she hadn't taken the phone, she continued to peel the garlic. As she peeled, a large tear fell into the bin along with the garlic skin.
The day after Qiao Anxia received Mother Cheng's call, she waited for Chen Yang to go to Huan Ying Entertainment before she drove to the hospital alone to find the specialist who had been doing her checkups for the past few years.
