Chapter 98

“Ding-ling-ling——Ding-ling-ling——”

The landline rang.

Liu Yan picked up the phone and asked anxiously, “Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, ma’am, I’m from Xingfu Life Insurance Company. Xingfu Life is the first choice for buying insurance. Buying an insurance policy can guarantee your personal safety and protect you from…”

“Thank you, we don’t need it.”

Hearing that it was an insurance salesperson, Liu Yan interrupted the other party, but her tone was still polite.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yan looked at the child curled up in the corner, feeling a little distressed and a little headache. In general, she had a complicated feeling about the child and didn’t know what to do with him.

Because the child was born to her husband and the mistress.

To be precise, this is not very accurate, because her husband did not cheat.

It was a vicious woman who raped her husband, which led to this accidental birth.

After several years of marriage, Liu Yan and Bai Tianzhe had no children. Now that Bai Tianzhe brought the woman’s child home, she didn’t like him much.

Liu Yan originally thought that she would feel resentment towards this innocent child and transfer her anger towards his mother to him, but the first time she saw this child, all these resentments disappeared - because this child was not loved by his mother. Bai Tianzhe said that the woman did not treat this child as a human being at all, but treated him casually like a cat or dog. It was because of this that he gritted his teeth and decided to bring him back. However, all this is over. After being taken care of by her for almost two months, this child is no longer the pitiful skinny child when he first came, and he has a little meat on his body. Liu Yan glanced at Bai Yan. The child was unexpectedly well-behaved and didn't talk much. The only thing that made Liu Yan dissatisfied was that his health was really too poor. Such a child is destined to be difficult to raise. However, since she has forgiven her husband and chosen to accept him, she should at least raise him to adulthood - this has nothing to do with maternal love, but as a human conscience. Seeing Bai Yan sitting quietly in the corner flipping through a picture book, Liu Yan sighed. She cut half an apple into small pieces, put it on a small plate, and then said softly: "Yanyan, you have been looking at the picture album for a long time. Rest your eyes and eat an apple before you look at it, okay?"

The boy raised his light gray eyes, and his iris-colored eyelashes drooped slightly, covering half of his eyelids.

Seeing this, Liu Yan closed the curtains and blamed herself for not being careful enough.

The boy was born afraid of light, and the light made his eyes very uncomfortable.

When he first came, because the woman threw him in the sun to relieve boredom, his whole body was sunburned and blistered, and he had a fever for a whole week. It was not easy to save him from the brink of death.

She was really careless, and she had to pay more attention in the future.

Liu Yan walked over with the plate, Bai Yan took the apple, whispered a thank you, and picked up the small fork and began to eat the apple quietly.

Liu Yan held her cheek, thinking that it would be nice to have such a well-behaved child with her husband in the future.

Speaking of which, this child is pretty good.

Although it was because of his illness, the light golden hair unexpectedly suited him. It was a pity that the child's skin was too pale, otherwise he would definitely be a lovely little handsome boy.

Liu Yan smiled and decided to continue to make delicious food in the next few days and try to fatten him up first.

Also, the blue and purple marks on the boy's body were too annoying, and he must heal these scars. I don't know how that vicious woman could treat her own child so cruelly and ruthlessly.

"Ding Dong."

The doorbell rang.

Liu Yan hurriedly opened the door, Bai Tianzhe came in dusty, and when he saw Liu Yan, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.

He closed the door and paced around the room.

After hesitating for a long time, he pulled Liu Yan to another room and avoided Bai Yan and said: "Yanzi, I have something to tell you."

"What is it? Can't we say it outside?" After Liu Yan finished speaking, she realized that this should not be something that the child should know.

Sure enough, Bai Tianzhe blushed and said with some guilt: "It's about Yanyan's schooling."

"Schooling... that's right, he's already six years old this year, just in time for the fall enrollment, we should prepare to help him register." Liu Yan seemed very easygoing.

But it was precisely because of her tolerance that Bai Tianzhe seemed even more guilty.

He lowered his voice and said very uneasily: "Enrollment... enrollment requires tuition, private elementary schools require 50,000 yuan per year, our family conditions are not good, and I have never thought of sending Yanyan to a private elementary school.

However, if you want to go to an ordinary public elementary school, it will cost about 10,000 yuan per year! This child is very smart and very obedient, completely different from his biological mother, I don't want to delay him..."

Bai Tianzhe lowered his head as he spoke, and he couldn't raise his head in front of his wife. He knew that this request was too much. If Bai Yan was their child, it would be fine. It would be no problem to sell everything to support him to go to school. Liu Yan, like him, is a person who will pay for the child.

However, Bai Yan is that woman's child and has nothing to do with Liu Yan. Liu Yan was very tolerant and generous for not blaming him and agreeing to take him home.

However, in this society, not going to school is not an option.

Every child must go to school for nine years, which is a mandatory requirement for compulsory education.

Liu Yan also knew this, so she was very surprised and said: "Are public elementary schools so expensive now? Isn't it free to go to ordinary public elementary schools?

Two days ago, I occasionally heard a colleague say that her children don’t have to pay to go to school, and they go to public primary schools. Otherwise, I would call over and ask them which school her children go to..."

"No, I will never let Yanyan go to such a free school!"

During the day, Zhe stood up abruptly and refused, looking very excited. But he soon realized that his tone was a bit harsh, so he apologized: "Yanzi, you don't know that you can't go to this kind of free public elementary school. If you go to... you will die, you will really die!"

"How could it be?" Liu Yan exclaimed, "Wasn't it fine before?"

Bai Tianzhe said: "This is a new policy this year. Public primary schools have been classified as 'special zone' schools, which are completely different from ordinary public primary schools.

Starting this year, children of school age will either have to pay money every year to attend an ordinary public primary school. Either you have to go to a "special zone" to go to school. You know the compulsory education law. If parents evade and don't let their children go to school, those people will throw the parents into the "special zone" and the children will be forcibly taken to school..."

Liu Yan was very angry, but she also understood what Bai Tianzhe meant: "You are right, Yanyan cannot be allowed to go to school in the 'special zone'!

Isn't it just 10,000? Let's bite the bullet, I'll buy less clothes, you'll quit smoking, we usually eat simpler, and we'll save 10,000 in a year.

I can’t let my children go to school in the ‘special zone’ without paying money, so who will I become? I’ll be just like the stepmother in the fairy tale...”

"Yanzi, I'm sorry for you..."

Bai Tianzhe was moved by Liu Yan's generosity. His wife was always so kind. In order to reassure his wife, he apologized and said: "Actually, I didn't want to spend so much money. But I asked an acquaintance who knew the inside story, and I really couldn't bear to leave this child alone.

An acquaintance of mine said that among the children who go to school in the special zone, if there are fifty students in a class, seven or eight will graduate in six years, which is considered good. This elimination rate is too shocking. Yanyan is in poor health and has an introverted personality. I am really afraid that he will be eliminated in the first year..."

In the room, the couple reached a consensus and decided to send their children to ordinary schools no matter what.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very warm. The couple talked privately, not you looking at me, I looking at you, showing the tacit understanding and love between the two.

However, the time of happiness is always short-lived.

The two didn't talk for a while, and the phone in the living room rang again.

Liu Yan stopped talking, walked to the living room, picked up the phone, and said very politely: "Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, madam, I am from Xingfu Life Insurance Company. You should have a child at home. Buying an insurance will not only protect your personal safety, but also protect your family from harm.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Buying insurance is to prevent that one ten thousandth, our company’s insurance..."

"Thank you, I told you no need, don't hit me again in the future!"

After receiving two harassing phone calls in a row, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little annoying no matter how good-tempered she was.

She didn't finish listening to the chatter on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone.

When she saw Bai Yan looking up at her, she couldn't help but soften her expression and smiled gently at him.

Seeing that the boy lowered his head and concentrated on reading the picture book, Liu Yan returned to the room and smiled at Bai Tianzhe: "It's nothing. He is an insurance salesman. He doesn't give up and keeps calling me to sell insurance. It's really annoying."

After chatting for a while, the two left the room, and Liu Yan went to make dinner. During the day, Zhe walked to Bai Yan and began to patiently read him a storybook, hoping to help him get out of the shadow of being abused by his biological mother as soon as possible.

After dinner, the couple warmed up for a while and then began to discuss Bai Yan's future education.

The two of them had never had children before, and suddenly one was born. For a while, they really didn't know what to do.

But no matter what, it is necessary to educate him well. They need to be patient with him and let him grow into a kind and upright person.

Just as the couple was chatting passionately, Liu Yan's cell phone rang.

She opened her phone and found a multimedia message on it.

These days, MMS is still relatively expensive.

Sending a MMS is ten times more expensive than sending an ordinary text message, so most people don't usually use MMS to communicate.

Who would have nothing to do to send her a MMS?

With this doubt in mind, Liu Yan opened the MMS and found that it was a photo of her and several colleagues.

In the photo, a big red cross was drawn on her profile picture. You can feel the malice of the person who posted the photo at a glance.

Under the photo, there is this sentence——

[The consequences of not buying insurance: Your future self. ]

"This is a curse! What a lunatic!"

"Who is it? What's wrong?" Bai Tianzhe asked.

Liu Yan said angrily: "It's the same insurance guy. He's mentally ill and even said he wouldn't buy it. He's not done yet!"
