Chapter 1044: Each Has Its Own Suffering
Having seen life and death many times, Chen Xiaolu wanted to live a simpler life.
She doesn't have any big ambitions and just wants to live her life quietly.
Professor Xie asked again: "Don't you consider personal issues?"
Chen Xiaolu smiled bitterly, "I'm all muscular, tall and strong, but not pretty. Where can I find a partner?"
When Chen Xiaolu was very young, her parents went out fishing and died at sea. She lived with her grandmother, but her grandmother fell ill from working so hard and needed a lot of money for treatment.
My cousin's husband's family was also very poor at the time, but they still borrowed money to treat my grandmother's illness.
But when she was 10, her grandmother passed away. She grew up on the island, eating at various families' homes. Professor Xie not only often gave her pocket money, but also bought her clothes.
As a girl, Professor Xie told her a lot of things, especially the physical changes during puberty. When she was at a loss, Professor Xie helped her solve the problem.
In the army, she was the most popular girl, always winning the championship in the big competitions. The male comrades just respected her, and even if they liked her, it was out of possessive love, not romantic feelings.
After retiring, she was very happy working at a school. Her boss was also concerned about her personal life and introduced her to a potential partner, but after meeting him, there was no further contact.
Professor Xie smiled and said, "Everyone has their own destiny, don't worry!"
Liu Meilan thought about the unusual way Sun Youcai and Zhou Xingwang looked at Chen Xiaolu just now, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Chen Xiaolu smiled. "Actually, I'm used to seeing life and death, so I don't have any extravagant expectations for so-called love. I'm an orphan, and my longing for family is particularly strong! I just want to have my own child, and then have someone who is related by blood accompany me. It would be a very happy thing!"
Although grandma was in poor health in her last few years and Chen Xiaolu had a hard time, as long as grandma was still alive, she felt that she still had a home.
Now she is alone, and with a child, she has a home.
Professor Xie smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are very good and you will definitely meet the right person."
They talked about many things, and Professor Xie invited her to have lunch at noon.
Chen Xiaolu refused. "Professor Xie, I won't bother you anymore! Since my cousin-in-law told me to go back for dinner, I can't not go!"
When my grandmother passed away, it was this distant cousin and her husband who helped with the funeral. Chen Xiaolu always remembered this favor.
Professor Xie didn't try to force you to stay after hearing this. "Alright! Then I won't keep you here! Come back when you're free. I'll cook a good meal for you!"
Chen Xiaolu nodded, "Thank you, Professor Xie!"
After Chen Xiaolu left Liu's house, he bought some things and then went to his cousin and cousin-in-law's house.
Zhou Xingwang originally worked at a food stall and was a good cook. Although he no longer cooks after opening a hotel and hired a chef, the skills he learned are still there.
He went to the vegetable market with Sun Youcai to buy vegetables. After coming back, he washed them and started cooking.
Seeing Zhou Xingwang so active, Mrs. Sun looked suspicious and asked, "Old Sun, what's going on now?"
Sun Youcai replied, "Xiaolu went to visit Professor Xie, and I told her to come to our house for dinner. Xingwang happened to be there too, so we bought some food together and will treat Xiaolu later!"
Mrs. Sun was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked her husband up and down, "Something's wrong, you must have other intentions!"
There are no two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. Sun Youcai is very smart, and his wife is not stupid either. They have been eating from the same pot for so many years and understand each other very well.
The husband definitely did not call Zhou Xingwang over without a purpose.
Sun Youcai chuckled upon hearing this, "I can't hide anything from you! Xiaolu has a simple personality and a straightforward temper. And because he's tall and strong, it's hard for him to find a partner! Weren't you worried a while ago? Xingwang also had a hard time finding a partner, so I wanted to bring them together!"
When Sun's wife heard this, she glared angrily, "That's my cousin. Even though we're distant relatives, she treats me like her own sister! I can't cheat her. I don't agree with this!"
When Sun Youcai heard this, he knew his wife would be angry, so he quickly explained patiently, "Wife, think about it. Putting aside his troublesome daughter, what do you think of Zhou Xingwang's character?"
Mrs. Sun thought for a moment, then replied, "Xingwang's character is fine, but he has that daughter, and no woman can control him. Besides, my cousin is straightforward and sincere. What if Zhou Xingwang lets her down? Will our two families still get along?"
"Also, Zhou Xingwang may not be very good-looking, but he has high standards! Look at his ex-wife Qiao Yun, and the woman he later found, You Meili. Which one of them isn't beautiful?"
"Xiaolu looks average, how could Zhou Xingwang be interested in her? Besides, Zhou Xingwang is so rich. If he really does something stupid outside, wouldn't my cousin be at a disadvantage?"
Sun Youcai touched his chin and said hesitantly, "You don't think it's possible?"
"No! Of course not!" Mrs. Sun denied without hesitation, "Anyway, today's dinner is dinner, and you are not allowed to mention this matter at all! I know Zhou Xingwang is a good man, and you can treat him as a brother, but he may not be a good husband for marriage!"
Sun Youcai hesitated even more, "But I think it's a good fit! I trust my feelings!"
"I don't care whether you feel it or not, but you are not allowed to mention this!" Mrs. Sun warned again, "Do you think my cousin is easy to bully? Even if you and Zhou Xingwang are tied together, they can't beat my cousin! If I really beat you up, I won't stop you! I will even have to hand Xiaolu a stick!"
Sun Youcai quickly assured him, "No, no, okay? Let's just have a meal together. The money for Xiaolu's surgery was actually borrowed from Xingwang and me. I returned it to him, but he refused to take it. Anyway, Xingwang was helping Xiaolu at that time, allowing her to live a few more years."
"As Xiaolu's relatives and friends, we would like to express our gratitude to Xingwang on his behalf. As for the rest, I really won't say anything more. Whether they are destined to be together or not depends on their own fate."
Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Chen Xiaolu came to Sun Youcai's house with gifts. Zhou Xingwang had just prepared the meal and served it on the table.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, Brother Zhou, thank you for helping me when I needed help the most." After Chen Xiaolu finished speaking, he bowed to everyone.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Don't be polite. We are all relatives. When I was a child, your parents helped me. Besides, our family was poor at that time, so they couldn't help much."
Chen Xiaolu shook his head. "Brother-in-law, cousin, you think it's a small favor, but it's a big favor to me."
Sun Youcai brought the wine and said, "Come on, come on, you didn't eat last time you came here. Let's have a good drink and eat today."
At the dinner table, Chen Xiaolu was forthright, straightforward, and particularly interesting. His ordinary face, after drinking, had turned a little red.
Zhou Xingwang was feeling down, and since he'd rarely found a good drinking partner, he raised his glass frequently and spoke freely about the hardships of life, finding a mutual understanding with Chen Xiaolu. The two of them would cry and laugh, and before they'd even finished their round of drinks, they'd decided to get married.
Seeing the two drunkards, Mrs. Sun was so angry that she pinched Sun Youcai. "It's all your fault. Two drunk people said anything. Who knows how embarrassing it will be when they sober up!"
Sun Youcai grimaced in disbelief, but he still insisted, "Anyway, I trust my feelings. I think Xingwang should find a powerful woman like Xiaolu!"
Tang Xiaoyu went back to her parents' home today. Liu Meilan brought some home-cooked food over and happened to hear the conversation next door, which she found quite interesting.
