Chapter 231 Going to London

After finishing his busy day's work and returning home covered in bricks and sand, Ribery kept twisting his head back and forth, making his sore neck feel more comfortable, at least not so sour anymore.

After so long his life, his body has become accustomed to such work intensity, but his neck is still sore.

"I've already put the bath water for you." His wife Vahiba greeted her. She was pregnant, so she stayed at home without going out to work, which also puts more pressure on Ribery.

Many people will only notice the slightly hooligan behavior of this scar-faced young man, but they will never notice the seriousness he felt every time he saw his wife. From the day he got married, he kept telling himself that from now on, he will no longer live alone, he has a wife to take care of and will soon welcome his first child.

In the past, he could pursue his dreams without restraint and do whatever he wanted and liked to do without hesitation, but from now on, he has no chance of all this because he has a family to bear it.

No matter how hard or tired he is outside, he will smile when he sees his wife when he returns home and he will gently pat his wife's face. It's not so good, but in Ribery's eyes, this is the best woman in the world.

Some people say that France is very romantic, and romantic French people will look very unfamiliar if they don’t have some extramarital affair.

After Ribery became a professional player in Boulogne, there was a time when he was indulgent and crazy because all women liked stars and liked to see men conquering their opponents on the court and conquering them on the bed. So, even though Ribery had a shocking scar on his face, he was still very favored in this city.

But now, he rarely does this. He only can't resist the playful middle-aged people occasionally, but more often, he stays at home and stays with his wife, and the most important thing he does is to watch football games.

Recently, he has hardly ever touched the TV. When he returns home, he takes a shower, eats, and falls asleep in a daze and covers his head.

Vahiba is not a very smart, highly educated and experienced woman. On the contrary, she feels that she doesn’t know anything, but she knows her husband because every day she sees him working hard to get home, take off his clothes covered with bricks, and walk in to take a shower exhaustedly.

There have been several times when she helped her husband pack her clothes, she found a newspaper and team newspaper behind her trouser pockets.

This is the most authoritative sports daily in France, and the focus of this newspaper is undoubtedly European competitions.

Wahiba was not stupid. She guessed that her husband would secretly buy such a newspaper every day and read it secretly. However, sometimes, because he was so tired, he accidentally brought it back home and was discovered by himself.

Looking through the team newspaper, Vahiba noticed that this newspaper introduced the Premier League, a list was listed in detail, introducing the key signing list of Chelsea this summer, followed by the transfer price of each player, and the red ones marked represent the players recently introduced by Chelsea.

Joe Cole, from West Ham United, €00,000; Scott Parker, from Charlton, €10,000; Edgar Davis, from Juventus, €15,000; Robin Van Persie, from Feyenoord, €3 million.

When Vahiba was dating Ribery before, she was influenced by Ribery and knew some football. She was surprised that what the team was from? She was so rich. She spent more than 100 million euros in transfer fees in one summer, and introduced first-class stars such as Edgar Davis, Cannavaro and Ronaldinho.

Of course she also knew why her husband read this newspaper, and he must be paying attention to Chelsea.

I remember that half a month ago, when Ribery returned home, he casually mentioned the person named Ye Qiu to her. The Chelsea head coach once went to the construction site to find him and told him about joining Chelsea.

At that time, Ribery used a very casual and indifferent tone, but Vahiba could hear it, he thought, very much

If he really doesn't care, why did he remember everything Ye Qiu said clearly when he returned home? If he didn't want to, why did he never watch TV again since that day? If he didn't want to, why would he throw it away before entering the house every time after reading the newspaper?

There is only one reason, he thought, but he dared not say it or do it

Many people think that Ribery is very rogue because he doesn't have much education and is not of high origin. In addition, he has been teased since he was a child, so he always uses a very rogue way to disguise himself.

Only a very small number of people understand that he is actually a person, and he cannot be said to be very good, because he will also have irritability, unhappiness, and vent his temper at his wife, but more often, he is a very responsible man.

Otherwise, why would he not dare to pursue his dreams because of his father's words?

Wahiba still remembers that when his father announced that he would get them married and help them rent a house here, he clearly told him that he would support a family independently in the future and be responsible for taking care of his pregnant wife and unborn children, so he had to take responsibility like a man.

Ribery hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.

Since then, he went to his father's construction site to help with bricks, because he didn't know how to do other technical work, but only the most basic work, which is to do with personal strength, that is, to move bricks.

Vahiba knew that Ribery was arrogant and he didn't want to move bricks at all, but if he didn't move bricks, could he do it?

He has to have no culture and no skills. He has liked football since he was a child, but the final result was that he did not even have the travel expenses for his pregnant wife to go home in Brest, and he felt very embarrassed.

So, what can he do? Why can he support himself and his family?

Thinking of this, Vahiba suddenly felt that two round tears fell from his eyes, very sore and painful.

She didn't know what she could do or what she could do. She didn't understand. She just felt that she was reluctant to see her husband like this. She wanted to help him, but she didn't know how to help, and she had no choice.

The sound of bathing water in the bathroom stopped. Vahiba quickly wiped away the tears from his face, blinked his eyes hard, and quickly stuffed the team newspaper in his hand into the trash can not far away, covered the lid, and packed his clothes into the laundry bucket outside the balcony. When he came back, he showed a smile.

"You're hungry, I'm ready for dinner," Vahiba said with a smile.

Ribery nodded, not wanting to move all over, so she sat on the sofa in the narrow living room with two or three holes broken. She looked at the TV remote control beside her, and finally resisted the urge to press.

"Wahiba, have you seen my money?" Ribery suddenly thought.

"No, maybe in your pants pocket," the wife replied in the kitchen.

Ribery walked out of the living room and came to the crowded balcony. He found his pants from the laundry bucket and took out his monthly salary from his pants pocket. This was what his father had just settled for him. It was more than 3,000 euros, which was already a very good salary.

"Give it, take it." When his wife walked out of the kitchen, Ribery counted three thousand euros and handed it to Vahiba. He grabbed a few of them in his hand, but he didn't care. "Buy more supplements for yourself. I heard that the little guy is growing in body and head now, so he should pay attention to nutrition."

Wahiba took the money and tears were about to fall, but he blinked hard.

Ribery pretended not to see his wife's expression, lowered her head and ate the pasta in front of her, full of tomato sauce, "I'll go out to drink with them tonight, and may come back later."

Vashiba nodded, said nothing, holding the money in both hands, trying to walk to the kitchen.

But she had just stood up and her eyes couldn't help but sweep across the trash can. She suddenly felt that the money in her hand was very heavy. She didn't know where she got the courage. She turned around, turned around, and looked at her husband.

"You go" Vahiba couldn't help but shed tears.

"Well, go later." Ribery thought he was talking about drinking.

"I mean, go to the UK"

Ribery looked up suddenly and saw his wife with blurred eyes but firm face. He suddenly thought of something, but soon curled his lips and continued to lower his head to eat noodles. He said in a vague way, "Are you going to the UK? Travel?"

"Go to London and find the one named Ye Qiu." Vahiba finally calmed herself down. The decision he had just made was very sure of now because she felt that she should support and encourage her husband to try it again. Even if she failed, she would return to Boulogne in shame, which would be better than her husband's current situation, right?

"I don't understand the great truth, but I think you can't live like this for the rest of your life," Vahiba said firmly.

Ribery casually copied a tissue paper towel and wiped his mouth. He accidentally wiped his eyes, swept through a little wetness, and deliberately showed a sneer, "What? I look down on me in moving bricks? When you met me, I was a person with no ability. Do you regret it now?"

"You know what I said" Vahiba became very sure.

"I just don't know what you're talking about." Ribery threw away the tissue in his hand and stood up, like an angry tiger, staring at his wife fiercely, as if he wanted to eat people, especially with the shocking scar on his face, it seemed indescribable ferocious.

But in Vahiba's view, all this is fake, all fake, and paper tiger

"You know, right?"

The wife asked softly, and Ribery couldn't make any fire. She turned her head and looked around, and stopped talking.

There are only two people who understand him the most, one is his father and the other is his wife. But the fatal thing is that the former makes him feel at ease as a construction worker, while the latter now changes his mind and encourages him to find his dream. What can he do?

"Go to London and boldly pursue your dreams. If you think you can, then try it. Didn't the Chelsea coach come to you specifically from London to find you? He must be optimistic about you, otherwise, why would he come? If you try it, you still have a chance. If you don't dare to go, you will never have a chance."

Ribery turned around and stared at his wife. He suddenly realized, when, what made the weak wife suddenly become so strong? So obedient

"I'm going, I can't come back in a day or two. If it's OK, there's nothing to say. If it doesn't, it's as fast as one or two months, and the slowest may take a year or two. What do you and... children eat? What do you use? Tell me." It's not that Ribery didn't think about going, but he didn't dare to go.

His first child in his life is about to be born. Is it worth taking such a risk now?

If it were a year ago, he would have gone without hesitation, but now, he dare not

Wahiba thought for a while and stuffed the 30UU euro in her hand into her husband's hand, "I have left some of the money you give me, and I have enough money to save money. You can take it with you to London to find your dreams. Don't worry about me, I will definitely be fine, I will definitely be able to take care of myself and our children.

After a pause, Vahiba showed a bitter smile, "And, your father wouldn't watch me and my child starve to death, right?"

Ribery was very moved, really moved. If he was just thinking alone, he wouldn't dare to go, but now even his wife encouraged him like this, it would be impossible for him not to be moved. But no matter what he thought, he felt that he should not be so irresponsible. Putting so many things in his wife's hands is not something a man should do.

Thinking of this, he stuffed the money in his hand back into his wife's hand, "I won't go."

"Go," Vahiba shouted this time, "I know you want to go, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" After that, she stuffed the money back into her husband's hand and walked out of the sofa area. "If you are still worried, I will go back to find my parents tomorrow. When you come back, I will take me back."

"No" Ribery doesn't want to be looked down upon by his wife and family. He has his own pride and dignity.

"Then you go" Vahiba was very determined because she really believed that her husband could succeed. She always believed that all her husband lacked was a chance. As long as he was given a chance, he could soar into the sky.

"You really... believe me so?" Ribery looked up and looked at his wife.

"Yes" Vahiba nodded without hesitation.

Ribery looked at his wife, then looked at the money in his hand, and he stuffed it into his wife's hand, and he refused, "I'll go, at least half a year, as fast as half a year, as slow as one year, I'll try my luck in London. If I really get involved, I'll take you to London immediately. If I can't get involved, then I'll come back."

Seeing his wife trying to stuff the money into her hands, Ribery blocked it heavily, "You keep this money, I only need to have a ticket, I have hands and feet, I can't starve to death in London."

When she heard her husband say this, Vahiba didn't say anything more, left behind the money, smiled, "I'll go and pack your things for you." Then she walked back to the room.

Ribery sat on the sofa in the living room, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Since he decided to go, he had to arrange his wife's affairs here, and of course he had to tell his parents, but he couldn't say it now, because after he said it, his father might come to stop him and he wouldn't be able to leave at all.

It is best to call him before boarding the plane, so that he will be unable to stop him.

Ribery's mind was a mess, he thought a lot, he thought of Ye Qiu, the legendary Chelsea, and Ronaldinho, a Brazilian famous in France, as well as Cannavaro, Edgar Davis, Galas, Evra, Drogba...

He suddenly discovered that the rumored stars who have always been seen in newspapers and heard are actually not that far away from him. As long as he goes to London, as long as he can convince Ye Qiu and keep himself at Chelsea, he will be able to play football on the same stadium and train on the same training ground with this group of stars.

The Premier League, the Champions League, and even the national team, all the dreams that were so far away for him in the past. Now he seems to close his eyes and stretch out his hand and touch them. Everything about it is so dreamy for him.

"Do you want to call the person named Ye Qiu?"

Vahiba quickly helped Ribery pack up her things. The most important thing was Ribery's sneakers, which were a bit torn, but she took good care of them. I believe that even if I went to the Premier League, I could still continue wearing them.

Ribery froze when he heard his wife ask, and she smiled bitterly with a little helpless smile, "I threw away his business card."

"Ah?" Vashab was shocked, "What should I do? Who are you looking for when you are in London?"

"Don't worry, I will go to Stamford Bridge directly. Chelsea is so famous, everyone in London must know that I will come to him directly, and I believe I can find it." Ribery said with a firm look on his face.

He was worried about his wife before, but now even his wife encouraged him so much, he finally made up his mind to go to London to try it out. No matter whether it works or not, he must fulfill his wish and fulfill his dream. In this way, even if it really doesn't work, he can come back safely as his construction worker.

"Then be careful." Vahiba stuffed her luggage backpack into her husband's arms.

Ribery took it, grabbed it tightly, and nodded constantly, "You are waiting for me at home, and if you have anything to do, go find my parents. I will call him and must wait for me at home."

Wahiba's eyes turned red and tears burst out from her eyes, but she nodded constantly.

Ribery walked up, kissed his wife's forehead, and hugged her tightly.

The two of them said nothing and hugged each other like this. After standing for a long time, Ribery turned around and grabbed her luggage and walked out of the house.
