Cai Junze has never been to Ji's house.
He met Xu Mingsong by chance in the provincial capital, and the two chatted for a while.
Xu Mingsong said that he had been working as a cook in Ji's house for the past few years and his salary was pretty good.
Cai Junze congratulated him.
When they were young, they had a good relationship and often played together.
After growing up, Xu Mingsong often went out to work and only came back a few times a year, so the two of them interacted much less.
Upon learning that Xu Mingsong and Yuan Xiao'e were both in Ji's mansion, and considering what happened to the prodigal son in his previous life, Liu Shulin seriously suspected that there might be some hidden relationship between Yuan Xiao'e and Xu Mingsong.
Until now, Liu Shulin still couldn't figure out how Yuan Xiao'e got together with Xu Mingsong in her previous life.
Thinking back on the past, she did have some guesses.
Back then, at the strong request of the prodigal son, she agreed to let him be with Yuan Xiao'e.
Later, Yuan Xiao'e became pregnant and accidentally had a miscarriage.
Then, there was a period of time when I felt very low and unhappy all day long.
The prodigal son is not good at caring for others and is only concerned with having fun. Therefore, he doesn't seem to take good care of Yuan Xiao'e's emotions.
Liu Shulin wondered if this was the problem.
Because the prodigal son did not take good care of her, Xu Mingsong had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Of course, these are just her own guesses, and it is unclear whether it is actually true or not.
"Junze." She sighed slightly.
"Mom." Cai Junze looked at her.
"Then Yuan Xiao'e, if you can stay away from her, you'd better stay away from her." Liu Shulin said earnestly.
"Mom, you're not worried that our old relationship will rekindle, are you?" Cai Junze felt that his mother might be worried about this, and then said, "Don't worry, there will be no connection between her and me anymore. Our previous relationship ended long ago. Besides, I no longer have any feelings for her."
Liu Shulin nodded and said, "That's good."
Then she asked him, "By the way, you're already 27 this year. Do you want to reconsider your relationship? If you're willing, I can find you a matchmaker. Of course, if you have any requirements, you can also put forward them. I can choose someone according to your requirements and find someone that satisfies you. Just like I did with your uncle a few years ago. Look, isn't your uncle very happy now?"
Seeing his mother bring this up again, Cai Junze hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm not considering this yet! Right now, I just want to take good care of these shops for you and share some of the chores with you. Of course, these chores are also my chores. Well, that's what I'm thinking now."
Liu Shulin looked at him for a while and said, "Business is business, marriage is marriage. One is career, the other is life. You can't give up life for your career. The two are not contradictory. I'm not young anymore. I just want to see you have a complete family for the rest of my life."
She is already 42 years old this year...
If her fate is the same as in her previous life and she can only live to fifty, then she will only have a few years left.
Of course, she is in good health and in good condition now.
But sometimes, I worry, what if I really can only live to fifty?
Thinking about this, she hoped that in the next few years, she could see the prodigal son have a complete family, so that she could feel at ease.
You know, she has been alone for so many years and suffered from loneliness. Sometimes she wanted to find someone to confide in, but there was no one (be it her son or her brother, after all, there is a difference compared to her husband. She doesn't tell them everything she wants to say). So, she doesn't want her son to be alone for the rest of his life, just like she is now.
Over the years, she did feel an indescribable loneliness.
Even though there are sons, younger brothers, and grandchildren around...
But, I always feel that something is missing.
However, even so, she had no intention of remarrying or finding another partner.
Firstly, she is old, and secondly, after experiencing the Zheng Xianren incident, she completely gave up the idea.
She just didn't want her son to repeat the same mistakes she made.
That's why I hope he can remarry.
"Mom, you're still young!" Cai Junze said, "You'll definitely be able to enjoy happiness until you're eighty, ninety, or even a hundred! So, there'll be another forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years of life left! By then, Yang'er will definitely be married, and there will be great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren will be married, and then there will be great-great-grandchildren! By then, our family will be complete, with five generations living under one roof. How lively it will be!"
He also vaguely felt that his mother seemed to be worried about something.
In this era, most people in the countryside live to be in their fifties or sixties.
Few people can live to be over seventy years old, and even rarer to live to be eighty or ninety years old.
Liu Shulin sighed in her heart and said, "Yang'er is Yang'er, and you are you. I still hope that you can resolve your lifelong event as soon as possible. You can't be alone like this for the rest of your life just because you have Yang'er."
"Besides, Yang'er is ten years old now and can take care of himself. Even if you marry again, he will definitely understand."
She is a mother after all.
Therefore, it is inevitable that I will "fall into clichés" and have the same ideas as most mothers.
She also hopes that her son can remarry and give her grandchildren.
Of course, her fundamental hope is that her son is well, happy, and has a complete family.
