"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. 0
 
"Really? That's great, Xiaoxiao, thank you," Chen Shuying replied excitedly. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, don't mention it. We are all women; it's only right to help each other," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"Mm," Chen Shuying said, feeling touched. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, wait until you move before asking the village chief for help with a job," Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested. 0
 
"Okay, I understand," Chen Shuying replied. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, you sit here; I'll go get you a glass of water," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered. 0
 
"No need, Xiaoxiao, I'm not thirsty," Chen Shuying said. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, why are you being so polite with me?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked. 0
 
" Xiaoxiao, I really envy you and Brother Zhao," Chen Shuying said as she looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, you will find happiness too," Zhang Xiaoxiao comforted her. 0
 
"Happiness? Hehe, I will never have happiness in my life," Chen Shuying said with a bitter smile. 0
 
"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. 0
 
" 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. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, why did you give up your job?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion. 0
 
"Wang Changgui said that if I worked outside, he wouldn't be able to support me," Chen Shuying replied. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, he was lying to you. He just wanted to keep you at home to serve him," Zhang Xiaoxiao said angrily. 0
 
"Hehe, I only understand that now, but it's too late," Chen Shuying said despondently. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, don't be sad. Things will definitely get better in the future," Zhang Xiaoxiao comforted her again. 0
 
"Mm." Chen Shuying nodded with tears in her eyes and didn't say anything more. 0
 
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." 0
 
 
"Alright, Brother Zhao, thank you," Chen Shuying quickly stood up and said. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, please sit down for a moment. I'm going to change my clothes," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
 
"Okay," Chen Shuying responded and sat back down. 0
 
After Zhang Xiaoxiao returned to the room, she opened the wardrobe, took out a set of clothes, and changed. 0
 
Once Zhang Xiaoxiao came out in her new outfit, she said to Chen Shuying, "Chen Shuying, let's go." 0
 
"Okay," Chen Shuying replied and went out with Zhang Xiaoxiao. 0
 
After Zhao Guangcai locked the door, he followed them. 0
 
Chen Shuying watched Zhao Guangcai lock the door and felt a pang of envy in her heart. 0
 
When she married Wang Changgui, it was always her serving him; Wang Changgui wouldn't even step into the kitchen. 0
 
But after Zhang Xiaoxiao married Zhao Guangcai, it was Zhao Guangcai who served Zhang Xiaoxiao. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao's hands were fair and delicate, clearly not used to doing hard work. 0
 
Chen Shuying couldn't help but sigh inwardly about how different lives could be for different people. 0
 
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt, and tears couldn't help but fall. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed that Chen Shuying was crying and quickly asked. 0
 
"I'm fine; it's just that my eyes feel a bit uncomfortable," Chen Shuying wiped her tears and forced a smile. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, if you're tired, you can go back to rest," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with concern. 0
 
"I'm okay; let's hurry up and go," Chen Shuying replied. 0
 
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and didn't say anything more. 0
 
The three of them arrived at the house mentioned by the village chief and stopped. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, this is the place," Zhao Guangcai said. 0
 
"Brother Zhao, Xiaoxiao, thank you both," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, don't mention it. Let's go inside and take a look," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"Mm," Chen Shuying responded and pushed the door open to enter. 0
 
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai also went inside. The house was filled with dust, and there were cracks on the walls. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, this house probably needs some repairs before it can be lived in," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"Yeah, I know," Chen Shuying nodded in response. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, why don't you find a place to settle down first?" Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested. 0
 
"Okay," Chen Shuying replied, not saying anything more. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, if you don't mind, you can stay in the vacant house of the Wang family for now," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered. 0
 
" Xiaoxiao, really? That would be great," Chen Shuying said happily. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, don't be polite; we are all Fellow Villagers," Zhang Xiaoxiao reassured her. 0
 
"Mm," Chen Shuying said, feeling touched. 0
 
"Chen Shuying, if you don't have anything else to do, we'll be leaving now," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"Okay, you all go ahead," Chen Shuying replied. 0
 
"Zhao Guangcai, let's go," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"Mm," Zhao Guangcai responded and left with Zhang Xiaoxiao. 0
 
After returning home, Zhang Xiaoxiao began to think about what to eat for dinner. 0
 
"Zhao Guangcai, let's have hot pot tonight," Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested. 0
 
"Sure, I'll make it," Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
 
"Zhao Guangcai, I'll help you," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered. 0
 
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai agreed and went to the kitchen. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao followed him. The two of them busied themselves in the kitchen, creating a harmonious atmosphere. 0
 
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. 0
 
 
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her past marriage was a joke. 0
