Chapter 114 You're Great
Actually, Shen Zhixia felt that it didn't matter if Huo Chunyan lived here.
She could tell that Huo Chunyan was a genuine child, and having her help take care of the children was wonderful, saving her a lot of time.
Moreover, Huo Chunyan is very diligent and can help with cooking. She is much more capable than Shen Zhixia. With Huo Chunyan around, Shen Zhixia feels like she has nothing to do.
She's a complete idiot, careless and capricious, but Huo Chunyan is a brilliant person; she plans everything meticulously and never makes a mistake.
Shen Zhixia really liked Huo Chunyan. Huo Chunyan was nothing like what Huo's mother said.
Huo Chunyan said, "Mom, I'm only staying here temporarily to help take care of my sister-in-law. I have a place to stay; the clinic assigned me a dormitory. Although the clinic no longer exists, I believe this is only temporary, and we will definitely be able to get through this difficult time soon."
She continued, "If my brother and sister-in-law feel it's inconvenient for me to live here, I can give them money."
She is a career woman who has worked hard all these years. She doesn't spend much money on herself, so she has saved some money.
She has money, which is why she has the confidence.
If Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia are dissatisfied, she can move into the dormitory at will, or she can pay for it.
None of these are big deals.
Mrs. Huo had no choice but to say helplessly, "I'm your mother, can't I even say a few words to you? You're so old and still haven't gotten married. I can't even hold my head up in the village. Every time the villagers talk to me, I feel so helpless. Do you know how much this hurts me? I'm getting old, and if I don't see you get married before I die, I'll be so sad."
Shen Zhixia yawned upon hearing this.
In her previous life, she had never even been in a relationship, but some distant relatives urged her to get married. The rhetoric they used was all similar: they said she couldn't survive on her own and that she would only have someone to rely on if she got married.
But those who urge others to get married are themselves unhappy in their own marriages.
This era is too conservative. Men and women who don't get married will be pointed at and gossiped about. Otherwise, Shen Zhixia would have advised Huo Chunyan not to get married. After all, marriage is a big deal. If you find a good man, that would be the best thing. But if you find a bad man, then you've encountered a lifetime of retribution.
"Mom, nagging me won't help. It's annoying. It's not like I don't want to get married. Do you expect me to just grab anyone and marry them? It's not that easy. These things depend on fate. Anyway, I don't think Sun Baojun is a good match right now, so that's it. Stop nagging me. Just take Huo Xinran back. I'm not going back. Even if the clinic doesn't need nurses now, I still have my professional skills. Someone will definitely need me," Huo Chunyan said.
Seeing that no matter what she said, Huo Chunyan wouldn't budge, Huo's mother became a little annoyed. She had been urging Huo Chunyan to get married all these years, but Huo Chunyan just couldn't find a husband.
She has traditional views and always felt that Huo Chunyan would never get married. She was very anxious about it. This time, she finally found a suitable match, but it was ruined.
Shen Zhixia said, "Mom, you don't need to rush. Chunyan is beautiful and capable, and she has an older brother who is a regimental commander. She's a very good catch. Whoever marries her will be the one who is satisfied. As long as word gets out, everyone in the military will want to date her."
“She has always worked at the clinic, saving lives and healing the wounded, and has an excellent reputation. Even if she wants to get married, she will choose the best and not just settle for someone. We will introduce her to someone suitable in the future.”
However, Mrs. Huo asked doubtfully, "Is she really that good? I don't think she's that good. She can't even do housework properly; she's so clumsy."
Shen Zhixia glanced at Huo Chunyan and said with a smile, "If we're talking about clumsy, then it should be me. Even now, I can't even cook a meal properly. Compared to me, Chunyan is really capable. Moreover, she is educated and kind, which is a very rare quality in women."
Huo Chunyan was stunned for a moment. Although Huo's mother treated them well, the education she implemented was one of belittling. Of course, Huo's mother not only belittled herself, but also her eldest brother.
Huo Chunyan used to complain about her mother, but after she saw things more clearly, she no longer felt there was anything wrong with it.
But because of this education, she never thought she was that great. So, in Shen Zhixia's eyes, was she really that good?
Shen Zhixia said, "I think Chunyan is so outstanding, she will be able to find someone better than Shenzhou in the future, so Mom, just let her make her own contact, there's no need to rush."
Originally, Huo's mother wanted to say a few more words to belittle Huo Chunyan, after all, she had watched Huo Chunyan grow up and didn't think the other party had any merits. However, because of Shen Zhixia's words, she ultimately didn't say anything, just took one last look at Huo Chunyan, and then left.
She still gave Shen Zhixia some face after all. Since Shen Zhixia spoke up for Huo Chunyan, she wouldn't say anything about Huo Chunyan today.
Huo's mother treats Shen Zhixia very well. This is partly due to Huo Chenzhou's attitude and partly because Shen Zhixia gave birth to twins. So far, Shen Zhixia has not faced any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues.
She felt that Huo's mother was very gentle and easy to get along with, but Huo's mother had a different attitude towards Huo Chunyan.
After this incident, Huo Chunyan's face lost all its vitality. She sighed and said, "Actually, I know my mother is doing this for my own good. She hopes I can get married as soon as possible because she's afraid that no one will take care of me when I get old. So she hopes I can have a child soon so that I will have someone to rely on. Sometimes she says harsh things, but she really doesn't mean any harm."
“I actually want to get married, so when they asked me to go on a blind date, I immediately agreed. I don’t have high requirements; I just want to find someone reliable to settle down with. But this incident has been a blow to me, and I’m worried about what will happen if something like this happens again.”
Huo Chunyan sighed, "Although this matter has nothing to do with Sun Baojun, I still feel uneasy about it."
Shen Zhixia said, "You weren't very familiar with Sun Baojun to begin with, and after being provoked like this, it's normal that you don't want to associate with him anymore."
Huo Chunyan looked up and asked, "Do you really think this is normal?"
Her eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Sister-in-law, you understand me best."
“I don’t actually reject Sun Baojun, but sometimes I feel confused. The thought of being with him in the future makes me feel confused.”
