Chapter 359 Cry if you want
At 3 pm, Tian Xin hurried out of the gate downstairs of "Rumeng" company.
Zhang Shuai drove over to wait for her ten minutes ago.
As soon as she got in the car, it started immediately and headed north back to Xiaowan Village.
As soon as Tian Xin got in the car, she returned to her original appearance. Without saying a word, she leaned back in the passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest.
There was a blue folder in her hand.
At this moment, she was holding the folder in her arms, holding it tightly.
This is not like her habit, she usually puts these things in her bag.
Zhang Shuai glanced at him, full of questions. After enduring for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Is everything going well?"
"It went well." She closed her eyes and said softly.
Zhang Shuai asked again: "What are you holding? Aren't you tired? Just put it down!"
She replied: "Not tired!"
There was no further news.
Zhang Shuai: “…”
After a moment, seeing that there was no sound, she turned over and turned her head to the window.
The moment she turned around, Zhang Shuai saw a tear burst out of her eyes, followed by shaking shoulders.
The car slowly stopped by the roadside. Zhang Shuai opened the window and lit a cigarette.
"What's going on? Tell me."
She didn't answer or move, her shoulders still shaking.
"Speak!" Zhang Shuai said in an unhappy tone.
“…” Still no response.
He smoked the cigarette very quickly, and in less than a minute, Zhang Shuai extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it out the window. He then pulled her over and forcibly hugged her in his arms.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in. Cry as hard as you can. I'm your brother here today. Don't treat me like a man. Just think of what you said. I'm just your brother. Hide here with me and cry your heart out!"
He said this very calmly. He just hugged her, one hand gently stroking her back, without any extraneous words.
Tian Xin stopped struggling in an instant, buried her head in his arms and burst into tears.
"Boss, I've figured it out!" Zhang Shuai patted her gently and said softly, "From now on, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. What if you want to continue to be a village official? I will continue to work hard in the factory. If one day you get bored and want to go out and relax, let's go to Tongcheng. My mother bought me a house there. It's not big, just enough for four people to live in. When the time comes, I will take Auntie and Xiaoxu over. Let's open a store and do some small business. With your ability, you will definitely be able to run it well and you won't have to worry about having no food to eat. As for me, I will help you and do whatever you say."
"Anyway, just like you said, before we both get married, you should treat me as your real brother, take care of you, and protect you. If one day, you meet someone you really want to spend your life with, then I will be that person's brother-in-law..."
Zhang Shuai had never been so gentle before. He knew that no matter whether Tian Xin accepted it or not, he would tell her what he had said today. This wasn't a pretense of taking advantage of her, but he had truly thought it through.
Since she looks down on him, then I will stay with him in another way, be her support, and prevent her from suffering any grievances again.
Tian Xin cried inconsolably.
Whenever I think of the scene when I broke up with Lin Zhou in the morning, my heart is torn.
She didn't dare to make any promises to anyone anymore, nor did she want to put any shackles on herself anymore.
She had tasted the bitterness of love twice in her past life, and that was enough.
The car stopped on the side of the road for more than half an hour before it finally restarted and slowly drove north.
In front of it, in another car, Zhou Ruilian glanced at the signed documents on the passenger seat and called Lin Zhou.
Xiaowan Village is bustling with activity right now. Most people have just finished lunch and are heading to the fields.
Two cars passed the village entrance one after the other and drove towards the alley where Tian Xin's house was, which instantly caused a lot of discussion.
"Xinxin went out with Zhang Shuai early in the morning and just came back now. Isn't she afraid of Lin Zhou seeing her and getting angry?"
"That is, when I came back, I saw Lin Zhou's car parked in front of her house. Aiying hadn't come back from the field yet, and Lin Zhou couldn't even get in. He was sitting in the car alone, and he looked very sad."
"How can that be good? How popular are city people? Even if Xinxin is a village official, she can't compare to the city kids. If she's with Lin Zhou, she has to accommodate him."
"Who says not? If you ask me, he's not even as good as Zhang Shuai. Look at how diligent he is every day. He helps Aiying harvest the wheat and till the soil. He comes whenever it's busy. He's more diligent than a biological son. This is the kind of son-in-law you want!"
"Nonsense! Don't you know what Zhang Shuai was like before? A gangster wants to marry Xinxin, will Aiying agree? Besides, even if he is hardworking, he can't compare to Lin Zhou's wealth! If they were married, maybe he would go to the city to enjoy a good life, and who would still suffer here?"
"That's true!"
A few people were chattering about gossip, spreading it as they walked.
The words soon reached Li Aiying's ears.
Tian Xin and Zhang Shuai walked to the door and saw Lin Zhou's car with another red Audi parked next to it.
She was stunned for a moment, then guessed whose car it might be and ordered Zhang Shuai to leave.
"You go back first. I'll come find you later. Accompany me to the village committee later."
Zhang Shuai hesitated to leave.
She added, "I've already broken up with him. Besides him, his mom is probably in there too. It'll be embarrassing if things aren't handled properly, so it's inconvenient for you to go in."
Zhang Shuai still refused to leave.
"You want to see me humble myself in front of him, don't you?"
"Of course not, I'm afraid..."
Now Zhang Shuai was anxious.
The mother and son came together just after the breakup was mentioned. Could it be that they want to force marriage?
He was worried.
Tian Xin interrupted him: "What's there to be afraid of? Can I be eaten?"
Seeing that he was still lingering, her face darkened and she called out in a long tone: "Brother——"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm going!" Zhang Shuai sighed helplessly and turned to get in the car.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but remind me again: "If there is anything special, be sure to call me."
Tian Xin responded and turned to walk in.
She crossed the yard and went straight to the living room.
Li Aiying was talking to Zhou Ruilian. Lin Zhou sat beside them, head bowed, silent, looking troubled.
Seeing her come in, several people were stunned for a moment.
"Where have you been? Why are you back just now? Why is your phone turned off and I can't get through?" Li Aiying came over anxiously and scolded her, "You and Lin Zhou have been here for a long time, and you're nowhere to be found?"
Tian Xin did not tell Li Aiying about the proposal, for fear that she would worry.
Therefore, she had no idea of the mother and son's purpose for their visit. And judging from their earlier conversation, Zhou Ruilian didn't seem to mention their breakup. If she didn't bring it up, Lin Zhou wouldn't either. "Auntie!" Tian Xin greeted Zhou Ruilian with a smile.
Then he turned his gaze again: "Lin Zhou..."
