"Chen Shuying, you and Xiao Liang have no place to stay now. How about I ask my husband and the village chief to help introduce someone for you?" an aunt said.
"No... it's fine, I don't want to marry again," Chen Shuying refused.
"But how will you manage as a woman with a child?" the aunt asked with concern.
"I... I can farm," Chen Shuying replied.
"Sigh, Chen Shuying, you have it so hard," the aunt said sympathetically.
"I'm okay, I will be strong," Chen Shuying said, wiping away her tears resolutely.
"Chen Shuying, if you have any difficulties, feel free to come to us."
"Yes, Chen Shuying, we are all fellow villagers and should help each other."
"Chen Shuying, it's really not easy for you to take care of Xiao Liang alone; why not find someone else?"
"..."
The surrounding fellow villagers began to speak up.
"Thank you all, thank you all," Chen Shuying said tearfully.
"Alright, everyone stop talking and let's quickly find an empty room for Chen Shuying," the village chief instructed.
"Okay, village chief," the villagers responded and began to busy themselves.
"Chen Shuying, why don't you rest at my house for a while?" Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
" Xiaoxiao, thank you," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me, let's go," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Mm." Chen Shuying nodded and followed behind Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai while holding Xiao Liang's hand.
Chen Shuying kept her head down as she walked silently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh and said, "Chen Shuying, don't be too sad; things will get better in the future."
"Mm, I know," Chen Shuying nodded without saying much more.
Noticing that Chen Shuying didn't want to talk further, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't press her and led her back home.
As soon as Chen Shuying entered the yard and saw the flowers and plants growing there, she couldn't help but envy, " Xiaoxiao, your home is really beautiful."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Zhao Guangcai," Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Brother Zhao really loves you," Chen Shuying remarked.
"Yes, he treats me very well," Zhang Xiaoxiao said sweetly.
"That's great," Chen Shuying said enviously.
"You will find someone good for you too," Zhang Xiaoxiao comforted.
"I won't look anymore," Chen Shuying shook her head.
"Why? You're still so young," Zhang Xiaoxiao said in surprise.
"I think being alone is pretty good," Chen Shuying replied.
"But it's too hard for you to take care of Xiao Liang by yourself," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"It's okay, I can endure hardship," Chen Shuying stated.
"Chen Shuying, if you want to find someone, I can ask Zhao Guangcai to introduce someone to you," Zhang Xiaoxiao offered.
"No need, Xiaoxiao, thank you," Chen Shuying replied.
"You're welcome," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
" Xiaoxiao, Brother Zhao, thank you both," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
" Xiaoxiao, Brother Zhao, can I stay here for a few days?" Chen Shuying hesitated.
"Sure, stay as long as you want," Zhang Xiaoxiao said readily.
" Xiaoxiao, thank you. I really don't know how to repay you," Chen Shuying said emotionally.
"Chen Shuying, there's no need to be polite; we're all women," Zhang Xiaoxiao reassured her.
"Mm." Chen Shuying nodded in gratitude and didn't say anything more.
After a while, the village chief walked in and said, "Chen Shuying, we've found an empty house for you. Do you want to go see it now?"
"Okay, village chief, I'll go right away," Chen Shuying quickly stood up.
" Xiaoxiao, Zhao Guangcai, thank you both," Chen Shuying said again.
"You're welcome, Chen Shuying. Go ahead and take care of your business," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Mm." Chen Shuying nodded and left with Xiao Liang.
"Zhao Guangcai, let's head back too," Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
"Alright." Zhao Guangcai nodded and went home with Zhang Xiaoxiao.
In the evening, while Zhao Guangcai was taking a shower, Zhang Xiaoxiao sat on the bed thinking about what had happened that day.
Chen Shuying was really pitiful, but thankfully she had finally escaped from her suffering.
Thinking of this made Zhang Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief.
As she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a burning gaze on her.
Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality and turned to Zhao Guangcai with a smile. "Zhao Guangcai, are you done showering?"
"Mm." Zhao Guangcai responded lightly and sat down at the edge of the bed.
"Zhao Guangcai, what do you think will happen to Chen Shuying in the future?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"I don't know," Zhao Guangcai shook his head.
"Sigh, Chen Shuying is really too pitiful," Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed.
"Everyone's fate is different," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Yeah," Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early," Zhao Guangcai suggested.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and lay down.
After Zhao Guangcai turned off the light, he also lay down.
The next day.
As Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the door, she saw Chen Shuying sitting on a bench in the yard.
"Chen Shuying, why are you here so early?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"I... I wanted to ask you for a favor," Chen Shuying said shyly.
"What favor? Go ahead," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied readily.
"I... I want to look for a job, but I'm worried that Xiao Liang won't have anyone to take care of him," Chen Shuying said with difficulty.
"Chen Shuying, you can look for a job in the town; there are many factories there, you can give it a try," Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
"The factories in town have high requirements; I'm afraid I won't be able to meet them," Chen Shuying expressed her worries.
"Chen Shuying, you're so smart; you'll definitely be fine," Zhang Xiaoxiao encouraged her.
"Really?" Chen Shuying asked uncertainly.
"Of course it's true," Zhang Xiaoxiao affirmed.
"Then I'll give it a try," Chen Shuying resolved.
"Mm, Chen Shuying, you can do it!" Zhang Xiaoxiao encouraged her.
" Xiaoxiao, the village chief is so nice to me; I want to ask him for a recommendation letter, but I'm afraid of bothering him," Chen Shuying said hesitantly.
"Chen Shuying, since the village chief said he would help you, just go ahead and ask him; he definitely won't refuse," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Mm, what you said makes sense," Chen Shuying agreed.
