Chapter 267: It's just a date, what's there to be afraid of
Yu Shirley came back to her senses, smiled at Shen Meng, and nodded. The families living nearby all got along well with each other, and she would always think of sending some good things to them. But she was a divorced person after all, and now she had a job, so she was different from a farmer. Such a change naturally affected the mentality of some people.
A single woman with a child, with no man to rely on, now her ex-husband often harasses her, and she needs help from neighbors. Naturally, some bad things will spread over time. Two sisters-in-law are also afraid that their husbands have some unclear relationship with her. Now whenever she comes to visit, their faces are as black as charcoal, and they are no longer as warm as before. Even though she is good friends with Shen Meng, and even though the two sisters-in-law also want to work in the flower factory, they still don't welcome her.
She understands and respects that people who helped her in the past are unwilling to help now, which is also human nature. She doesn't think there is anything to be angry about. She touched her backpack, which contained two newly bought locks. The door of the room needs to be reinforced at night.
"Does that Doctor Qian come to talk to you now?"
"Why are you asking this?"
Yu Shirley blushed. She thought the topic was over. She was about to go to Xie Jinghao's house to pick up the child. It was embarrassing to hear her say this again.
"I'm worried about you, too. Let me tell you, if you think that Doctor Qian is good, then hurry up and make a move. You are already a mother of three children. What is there to be shy about? You are an excellent woman. It is normal for someone to pursue you. In my opinion, if you think it's okay, you can give it a try. It's not necessary for you to start a family. It's good to have someone who loves you."
Shen Meng didn't dare to say it too bluntly, fearing that Yu Shirley couldn't stand it. As a woman, it's just a relationship. It doesn't mean you have to be responsible. Why can't it be possible?
Yu Shirley was forced to marry because her reputation was ruined by a leper. She met her last date through a blind date. She had never been in love before, so how could she know what it felt like to be loved and cared for?
She thought that Doctor Qian was a good guy. She had even taken the time to visit Doctor Qian's courtyard. It was quite nice and spacious. There was only an energetic old woman in the house, and the relationship with the neighbors was also very good. It was said that people came to the house to propose marriage from time to time, but the old lady always sent them away.
Shen Meng asked around and found out that the old lady went to a girls' school when she was young and was a Western-style person. She said that love and marriage were all decided by the children, and she would not interfere.
Shen Meng felt that if Yu Shirley married such a progressive old lady, she might really find happiness!
"I, I am also getting to know him. After you talked about me last time, I thought I could give it a try. He doesn't mind that I have a child. He knows everything about my experience and just says it's not my fault. Xiao Meng, I have never seen such a good person. It's not that I think he is not good. I am afraid that I am not worthy of him. He is a great doctor and I am just a rural woman. I don't know anything. Now he sympathizes with me. What if I..."
"Cherish the present, Shirley, and we can talk about the future later. Even if he abandons you in the future, don't belittle yourself. It is he who has changed, not you. You have a daughter, friends, savings, and a job. Even if you live alone in the future, you can live a good life. I, Jinghao, Xiangxiang, and Xifeng, we are all by your side. What are you afraid of? Be brave and give it a try. Love is beautiful and you deserve it."
She has money, looks, and a child. It's just a matter of finding a partner. What's not to do? If she didn't already have Lu Zhenping, she would want to try more. There are such great trees there, and they are all young seedlings. It's so tempting to look at them!
Yu Xueli was shocked by what was said, as if she suddenly came to her senses. She smiled at Shen Meng and nodded heavily. She should live for herself at least once.
In the evening, Shen Meng and the children at home were eating. Yu Xueli and Liu Sanjin came over with food. In fact, Wu Xianglan wanted to come by herself. She felt that she and Shen Meng had a close relationship, and the old woman coming over would be annoying.
"Sister-in-law, my mother and I have brought you food. Look, this is steamed buns made of fine flour, and this is fried pork slices with peppers and potato shreds. It's made especially for you. I know you like it."
Wu Xianglan said as she was about to take the food from Liu Sanjin's hand and put it on the table. The latter dodged again and again. She stuck her butt away from Wu Xianglan and put the food on the table.
"Xiao Meng, although this dish was cooked by Xianglan, Rousi Niang paid Jiahe to buy it. That girl is honest and picked the best meat for you. Look at how fat the meat is. Isn't it delicious?"
Shen Meng: "......."
It is indeed delicious, but too fat. There is almost no lean meat in the small bowl of meat and vegetables. She felt that she had no appetite just by looking at it.
"Thank you, I just drank some porridge and I feel dizzy. I don't want to eat now. I'll eat later!"
Liu Sanjin looked at her like that and rolled his eyes secretly. She didn't eat such a good thing in time. She really didn't know how to enjoy life. Such a good dish was wasted.
“Mingyang, Mingliang, my darling grandchildren, eat. Grandma hasn’t been close to you for a long time. You are busy with school and don’t visit grandma.”
“Grandma, this meat is too fatty and greasy. I’ll eat it later!”
“Mingliang, don’t talk nonsense, grandma, my brother didn’t mean that. The dish is still fragrant, it just doesn’t look delicious.”
Wu Xianglan: “........”
Liu Sanjin: “........”
You might as well not explain. If you explain, the words you say later will be more heartbreaking!!!
"The kids are just talking nonsense, Xianglan, don't take it to heart. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Liu Sanjin sighed and began to wipe her tears. The Wu Xianglan next to her was no longer the same Wu Xianglan as before. If the old lady had done this in the past, she would have jumped up and scolded Shen Meng for making her mother-in-law sad again. Now she just watched quietly. If she wasn't afraid of Shen Meng getting angry, she would have wanted to take out the pumpkin seeds from her clothes pocket and crack them.
"Xiao Meng, mother is so happy to see you and the eldest brother living such a prosperous life. You two have really brought honor to our Lu family. Who in Lujia Village would not envy you and your father when looking at you two? I am really worried about the second and fourth brothers. The second brother is only focused on earning work points. Although the fourth brother is doing well in the commune now, he is just a small clerk. I don't know when he will be promoted to office director. We are all family. It would be good if we can make progress together. Only then will mother feel at ease!" Before
Shen Meng could say anything, Wu Xianglan laughed out loud.
"Hey old lady, you are not afraid of being laughed at for saying this, not to mention Lao Si, just talk about Jia He, when has he been so focused on working and earning work points? He is now obsessed with getting into Liu Suqin's bed!"
Liu Sanjin: "......."
Nonsense, the person you are talking about is not your man, and you are still laughing!!!
