After Chen Xiao left, I looked at the pregnancy test report over and over again.

Pang Xiaomin, twenty-two years old, nine weeks pregnant.

There was a bright red seal on it, which didn't look fake.

I thought for a moment and decided to ask my mother-in-law about it.

Could it be the pressure from my in-laws that forced him to say this?

My in-laws have always wanted a grandson.

When they first heard that I was infertile, my mother-in-law advised me to actively seek treatment and even found a bunch of folk remedies, insisting that I drink Chinese herbal soup.

I told her that I had a uterine problem and could only have a child through a third-party surrogacy, which is illegal in China. Chen Xiao is a civil servant and cannot go abroad for surrogacy.

After hearing this, my mother-in-law finally gave up.

However, from that time on, her attitude towards me changed drastically.

Before, when I came home at night, she would have a hot meal ready for us. Later, she used the excuse of poor health to push all the cooking, cleaning, and various household chores onto me.

Every now and then, she would use examples of relatives and friends to criticize me: whose daughter is pregnant, whose daughter-in-law is expecting a second child...

I suspect she has long wanted us to divorce.
