"Chen Shuying, I know about that factory in town. They allow children to come to work, and they have a daycare and a cafeteria. You can take Xiao Liang with you, and he can eat there too," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Really? That's great, Xiaoxiao, thank you," Chen Shuying replied excitedly.
"Chen Shuying, don't mention it. We are all women; it's only right to help each other," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Mm," Chen Shuying said, feeling touched.
"Chen Shuying, wait until you move before asking the village chief for help with a job," Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
"Okay, I understand," Chen Shuying replied.
"Chen Shuying, you sit here; I'll go get you a glass of water," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered.
"No need, Xiaoxiao, I'm not thirsty," Chen Shuying said.
"Chen Shuying, why are you being so polite with me?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
" Xiaoxiao, I really envy you and Brother Zhao," Chen Shuying said as she looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Chen Shuying, you will find happiness too," Zhang Xiaoxiao comforted her.
"Happiness? Hehe, I will never have happiness in my life," Chen Shuying said with a bitter smile.
"Chen Shuying, don't say that. You're so beautiful and hardworking; you will definitely meet someone who cherishes you in the future," Zhang Xiaoxiao reassured her.
" Xiaoxiao, you don't understand. After I married Wang Changgui, I was the one serving him every day. He has never done anything for me. I even gave up my job for him," Chen Shuying explained.
"Chen Shuying, why did you give up your job?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
"Wang Changgui said that if I worked outside, he wouldn't be able to support me," Chen Shuying replied.
"Chen Shuying, he was lying to you. He just wanted to keep you at home to serve him," Zhang Xiaoxiao said angrily.
"Hehe, I only understand that now, but it's too late," Chen Shuying said despondently.
"Chen Shuying, don't be sad. Things will definitely get better in the future," Zhang Xiaoxiao comforted her again.
"Mm." Chen Shuying nodded with tears in her eyes and didn't say anything more.
At that moment, Zhao Guangcai came out and said, "Chen Shuying, the village chief has already found a house for you. Let's go take a look."
"Alright, Brother Zhao, thank you," Chen Shuying quickly stood up and said.
"Chen Shuying, please sit down for a moment. I'm going to change my clothes," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Okay," Chen Shuying responded and sat back down.
After Zhang Xiaoxiao returned to the room, she opened the wardrobe, took out a set of clothes, and changed.
Once Zhang Xiaoxiao came out in her new outfit, she said to Chen Shuying, "Chen Shuying, let's go."
"Okay," Chen Shuying replied and went out with Zhang Xiaoxiao.
After Zhao Guangcai locked the door, he followed them.
Chen Shuying watched Zhao Guangcai lock the door and felt a pang of envy in her heart.
When she married Wang Changgui, it was always her serving him; Wang Changgui wouldn't even step into the kitchen.
But after Zhang Xiaoxiao married Zhao Guangcai, it was Zhao Guangcai who served Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Xiaoxiao's hands were fair and delicate, clearly not used to doing hard work.
Chen Shuying couldn't help but sigh inwardly about how different lives could be for different people.
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt, and tears couldn't help but fall.
"Chen Shuying, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed that Chen Shuying was crying and quickly asked.
"I'm fine; it's just that my eyes feel a bit uncomfortable," Chen Shuying wiped her tears and forced a smile.
"Chen Shuying, if you're tired, you can go back to rest," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with concern.
"I'm okay; let's hurry up and go," Chen Shuying replied.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and didn't say anything more.
The three of them arrived at the house mentioned by the village chief and stopped.
"Chen Shuying, this is the place," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Brother Zhao, Xiaoxiao, thank you both," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude.
"Chen Shuying, don't mention it. Let's go inside and take a look," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Mm," Chen Shuying responded and pushed the door open to enter.
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai also went inside. The house was filled with dust, and there were cracks on the walls.
"Chen Shuying, this house probably needs some repairs before it can be lived in," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Yeah, I know," Chen Shuying nodded in response.
"Chen Shuying, why don't you find a place to settle down first?" Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
"Okay," Chen Shuying replied, not saying anything more.
"Chen Shuying, if you don't mind, you can stay in the vacant house of the Wang family for now," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered.
" Xiaoxiao, really? That would be great," Chen Shuying said happily.
"Chen Shuying, don't be polite; we are all Fellow Villagers," Zhang Xiaoxiao reassured her.
"Mm," Chen Shuying said, feeling touched.
"Chen Shuying, if you don't have anything else to do, we'll be leaving now," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Okay, you all go ahead," Chen Shuying replied.
"Zhao Guangcai, let's go," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Mm," Zhao Guangcai responded and left with Zhang Xiaoxiao.
After returning home, Zhang Xiaoxiao began to think about what to eat for dinner.
"Zhao Guangcai, let's have hot pot tonight," Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
"Sure, I'll make it," Zhao Guangcai replied.
"Zhao Guangcai, I'll help you," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered.
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai agreed and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Xiaoxiao followed him. The two of them busied themselves in the kitchen, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Chen Shuying stood at the door, watching the scene of Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai together, feeling increasingly despondent. She really shouldn't have married Wang Changgui; if she hadn't married him, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her past marriage was a joke.
