Chapter 374 With that money, I could remarry!
Out of curiosity, Brigade Commander He began to read the article and found that it was not quite what he had expected.
It's not a traditional advertisement; it reads like a news report by a journalist, yet also like a literary novel created by a writer.
The story begins with a woman on the verge of collapse. Because her husband's family has been the only son in nine generations, even though she comes from a wealthy family and has a respectable office job, she has been infertile for many years and is often bullied by her mother-in-law.
She constantly refers to her as a "hen that can't lay eggs," and even urged her son to divorce her and marry a distant niece from her family who is broad-shouldered and has a round bottom, saying that such a figure would obviously produce a son.
Out of consideration for their years of relationship, the son has always refused to divorce. Every time his wife cries, he tries his best to comfort her: "My mother is just worried, don't blame her."
My family has had only one son for nine generations, and she was afraid I would have no male heir, which is why her tone was a bit harsh. If you can be more understanding of her, I can fight to avoid a divorce.
No matter what others say, I'll stand by you. Whether we have children or not doesn't matter; at worst, we can go back to our hometown and adopt one.
The woman was deeply moved and became even more tolerant of her mother-in-law's difficult behavior.
But day after day, year after year, the lack of children remained a thorn in their side, threatening to tear apart their precarious "whitewashed peace" at any moment.
The woman regained her energy when she heard that a certain military unit in Northeast China had developed a fertility pill, saying that she had to get her hands on it no matter what.
"Chengsi, we can have a baby!" the woman excitedly told the man the good news.
The man dismissed it: "Really? How do you give birth? Are you dreaming?"
The woman told the other party the information she had found out: "The XX military unit has drugs that can make people have children!"
The man immediately rejected the idea: "It sounds like a scam, don't waste your time!"
The woman insisted, "Even if I'm scammed, I have to try. This is our last hope!"
The man asked, "How much money do you need?"
The woman pursed her lips and stared directly into the man's eyes: "One pill costs one hundred yuan. Both the man and woman need to take it at the same time. As long as you are not born with a disability, you will definitely be able to conceive twins!"
"Are you crazy? Two hundred yuan, you actually spent a year's salary betting on something impossible! With that money, I could remarry!"
After saying that, he realized his mistake and grabbed the woman's shoulders tightly with both hands: "Xiao Lian, don't overthink it. I just think it's unnecessary. Our relationship is so good, it doesn't matter whether we have children or not!"
The woman persisted: "If you won't buy it, I will. As long as it helps me have a child, I'll borrow money to get that pill back!"
The man thought she was just saying it, after all, over the years of their marriage, the woman had contributed most of her salary to the household and didn't have much savings.
But to everyone's surprise, the woman actually borrowed money from all over the place and managed to scrape together the two hundred yuan needed to buy the fertility pills.
Her relatives and friends who lent her money were all laughing at her, and her boss even tried to persuade her to stay calm, fearing she would be scammed.
The woman simply said, "I've lived like this, why would I be afraid of being scammed? Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll accept it and never mention having children again in this lifetime!"
Only then did the leader stop saying anything, but instructed her to make sure the transaction was done in person and that the person was a military comrade before handing over the money.
The woman nodded and went home to ask her husband to go to Northeast China with her, but he thought she was making a fuss and refused.
The woman was unwilling to give up, so she gritted her teeth, took the money, and set off alone.
After two days and two nights of bumpy travel, and several hours of asking around, we finally found the legendary XX unit that was researching birth control pills.
I explained my purpose to the guard at the gate and waited where I was. Before long, I was invited into the rest room by the military leaders.
After learning about her experience, the leader felt great sympathy for her and, gritting his teeth, decided to sell her two fertility pills.
"We don't even have enough of this in our team. Selling it to you is really taking up the share of other comrades. I hope you will cherish it!"
"Boss, can this pill really make someone have a child?"
"Sure, otherwise would I dare charge you two hundred yuan?" The leader smiled and pointed to the sign behind him: "We're a legitimate company, we don't cheat people!"
The woman nodded and immediately swallowed a fertility pill. It wasn't bitter and even had a pleasant herbal fragrance. After thanking the other party, she returned home.
Instead, she received disdainful looks from her in-laws: "Oh, you've been away for so many days, have you had enough of fooling around?"
"Mother, say less. Xiaolian isn't that kind of person!" With that, she pulled the woman into the house, saying, "Where did you go? Why did you just leave like that?"
"Didn't I ask you? It's because you refused to come to Northeast China with me!"
"I just thought it wasn't necessary, why are you so stubborn? Where's the money? Did someone really scam you out of it?"
"They're not scammers, I really did buy fertility pills from the military!"
"Zhen Xiaolian, what can I say to you? There's no such thing as a fertility pill in this world. If there were, would it be us? You're really obsessed with having a child!"
"Yes, I'm obsessed. I'm just asking if you're going to eat or not! If you're not going to eat, we'll get a divorce so I can find another man to have a baby with!"
"Eat, eat, eat! I want to see what kind of medicine is so potent that it's ruined your brain!"
He took the pills from Zhen Xiaolian's hand, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them without even chewing them.
He even warned her, "Zhen Xiaolian, I'm giving you a month. If you can't get pregnant, we're getting a divorce! And you'll have to pay back this money yourself!"
Looking at the man's angry face, Zhen Xiaolian suddenly felt afraid of being separated from him.
But the thought of having a baby soon made her excited again: "Don't worry, I'll definitely get pregnant!"
A month later, Zhen Xiaolian's period was late. The man asked incredulously, "Are you pregnant?"
Zhen Xiaolian nodded: "I think so!" Her hand unconsciously went to her stomach.
The man's mother scoffed, "You? You want to have children? What a pipe dream! If you know what's good for you, you'd better get a divorce and make room for me!"
Zhen Xiaolian didn't say anything and endured the pressure until the second month. She went to the hospital for a checkup and was told that she was indeed pregnant.
At that moment, Zhen Xiaolian was so moved that she wanted to cry, and Meng Chengsi beside her was also so excited that he was speechless for a moment.
When they returned, they told Meng's mother the good news. For the first time, Meng's mother spoke to Zhen Xiaolian with a kind and gentle tone: "You're really pregnant! That's wonderful! Xiaolian, sit down quickly, don't tire yourself out."
"It was my fault before, I was too impatient and had a bad temper. You're a good girl, don't hold a grudge against your mother!"
Zhen Xiaolian smiled and shook her head: "I know Mother does it all for my own good."
After that, the family got along very well, and Zhen Xiaolian's belly swelled up quickly, like an inflating balloon.
When she went for a prenatal checkup at four months, she was told that she was carrying twins. The Meng family was so excited that they wanted to announce it to the world.
She wasn't allowed to do anything except focus on her pregnancy. Nine months later, a boy and a girl were born, and the Meng family finally had an heir.
Looking at the soft twins, Zhen Xiaolian exclaimed, "My life has been worth it! I'm so grateful to the military leaders for inventing the fertility pill, which made my wish come true!"
The story ends here.
