The suffering her daughter endured was all inflicted by her, her mother.
Her husband died suddenly from alcoholism, her son went to work in the countryside, and she, who had been ill for many years, received care from Xia Xiaoli.
Xia Xiaoli and Li Qingming are both kind-hearted and often visit her.
Seeing how happy they were, Luo's mother didn't go in. Instead, she handed the eggs she had brought to the nurse and asked her to take them inside.
Her daughter should rest in peace. The person her daughter loved is living a happy life, and she should let go of that. Everyone has the right to happiness.
With a forlorn figure, she couldn't help but cry after leaving the hospital.
Chen Xiaohua looked at Luo's mother's retreating figure, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
Everyone knew that when Li Qingming repeatedly came to Luo Miaomiao's door to propose marriage, she refused.
Later, she drove her daughter to her death, her husband passed away, and her son, resenting her, gave up his job in the city and chose to go to the countryside.
Chen Xiaohua became the head nurse at this hospital, where she witnessed many love stories and the children born from those love.
And the love of the person she loves!
“Our head nurse isn’t at work, and she’s staring at other people. Be careful, or she’ll get her pay docked!” Liu Xinlan came over and pulled Chen Xiaohua out of her reverie.
"Do you think she's pitiful?" Chen Xiaohua's thoughts were pulled back, her eyes still fixed on the departing figure of Luo's mother.
Liu Xinlan followed the gaze and looked over.
"Poor thing!" Liu Xinlan said without hesitation.
"She did such a thing, why do you still feel sorry for her?" Chen Xiaohua didn't understand why Liu Xinlan would think that way.
Liu Xinlan raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't you think she's pitiful?"
Chen Xiaohua had the words on the tip of her tongue, but couldn't say them.
"Her decision killed her own daughter." Liu Xinlan put her hands in her pockets and sighed, "But wasn't she also a victim! Her ideas were instilled in her by her parents, but she never expected that her daughter would not be willing to obey such ideas. She lost her innocence, was forced to marry someone else, and was ashamed to face the person she loved, so she resolutely chose to commit suicide."
"She will live her whole life in self-blame and guilt, isn't that pitiful! If she had a different mindset, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
Liu Xinlan sighed, "Even if Miaomiao were alive and married Li Qingming, she might not have the same happiness as Xiaoli. People are incomparable, and cannot be compared."
After listening to what Liu Xinlan said, Chen Xiaohua tilted her head slightly and looked at Liu Xinlan.
"Xiaoli might be happier if she hadn't married Li Qingming," Chen Xiaohua said earnestly to Liu Xinlan.
After listening, Liu Xinlan retorted, "A person who yearns for happiness, a confident and cheerful person, will be happy when they meet the right person and are together."
Chen Xiaohua nodded, then sighed and said, "The fact that she came to the hospital to visit Xiaoli proves that Xiaoli is happier."
Liu Xinlan smiled and said, "As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. Perhaps, Miss Miaomiao is even happier in another world."
Chen Xiaohua and Liu Xinlan exchanged a smile.
People are always forgotten after they leave this world, even if they were the people you loved most while they were alive.
"Stop thinking about it! You're thirty, it's time to settle down!" Liu Xinlan had been friends with Chen Xiaohua for so many years, how could she not know what Chen Xiaohua was thinking?
Chen Xiaohua smiled bitterly, lowered her head, and pushed the cart away.
When Shen Qiaoyue took the children back, Li Xiaoxiao was already cooking.
"Grandma, let's go see our newborn little sister! Her name is Zaozao, and she's so pretty!" As soon as Xiao Nian returned, she happily went into the kitchen to share what she had seen at the hospital with Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao was stir-frying vegetables with a furrowed brow.
"Xiao Nian, don't get too close, the oil will splatter on you." Li Xiaoxiao was cooking and didn't want the oil to splash on the child.
Xiao Nian stood far away, smelling the aroma of the dishes, her stomach growling with hunger.
"Go wash your hands quickly, we'll be eating soon. We killed a chicken today, so we'll have chicken to eat." Li Xiaoxiao told the children to go to the bathroom.
Xiao Nian turned and walked out of the kitchen. She called out loudly, "Brother, sister, wash your hands and eat!"
"Coming!" Xiangxiang and Danian put down their schoolbags and quickly came out to wash their hands and wait for dinner when they heard Xiaonian's call.
Shen Qiaoyue put down her things and went into the kitchen to help.
"We're having three dishes today. I killed the chicken, sent half of it to Yao Yao's family, and used the rest to make soup. We took the chicken out, stir-fried it with some side dishes, and ate it." Li Xiaoxiao made good use of the meat.
One egg stir-fried with greens and shredded carrots.
"Auntie, you've worked so hard!" Shen Qiaoyue rolled up her sleeves and said, "The canteen has opened, right? Next time we'll go to the canteen to buy food. It's so hot in the summer, it's not good to always cook."
"It's okay, I like cooking. I only cook one meal a day, in the evening, so I'm quite free."
Li Xiaoxiao refused Shen Qiaoyue's request.
Lu Chen gets up every day to make breakfast for her two children. She eats lunch herself, and only starts making dinner when the children come home from school in the evening. She's not tired at all.
"Wash the dishes and take them out; we're about to eat," Li Xiaoxiao said again.
Shen Qiaoyue took out the bowls and chopsticks to wash.
“Recently, Lu Chen and Brother Xu have been busy again. I heard they have an exercise going on and haven’t been back for a week.” Shen Qiaoyue missed Lu Chen a little.
It's not far at all; the military base is only a ten-minute walk from the family compound. It's really unreasonable for him not to come back for a week.
Li Xiaoxiao could tell that Shen Qiaoyue missed Lu Chen.
"Don't miss Lu Chen too much. He's the leader, he must be very busy. There are still more than two months until Lu He and Fei Ming get married. Lu Chen will take a vacation and go there, and he'll definitely want to use those days to finish his work."
