These are my two children. One is staying with his father. We are unfamiliar with the county town now. I wonder if my cousin can help us find a place to stay. It’s not so convenient to stay in a guesthouse all the time.”
Liu Chengxuan didn't agree immediately, "I'll try my best to find it!"
Li Xiulian saw Liu Chengxuan's perfunctory attitude and had many questions to ask, but with the children of both parties present, she still had to show some shame.
The two chatted about this and that, and Zhou Xiaofu came back hurriedly with the braised pork and two kilograms of corn rice that she had packed from the state-owned restaurant, breaking the awkward conversation.
"It's dinner time now, and there's a long line at the state-owned restaurant. It's been a while, so everyone must be starving, right? Come over and eat!"
Zhou Xiaofu's polite words were seen by Li Xiulian as a mockery of her lack of etiquette for visiting during mealtime.
Liu Chengxuan stood up and said, "Cousin, don't be disgusted. Bring the children over to eat something!"
Li Xiulian wanted to leave, but she didn't get to know the things she wanted to know, and she felt upset, so she shamelessly stayed to eat.
Lu Baojia frowned. He really didn’t understand why his mother wanted to stay. Did they need this meal?
But no matter how confused he was, he still did what Li Xiulian said.
During the meal, Liu Chengxuan asked Li Xiulian, her mother and her son to pick up some meat for them to eat. He even picked up some for his wife twice, and even the child was not left out.
Li Xiulian ate her meal as if chewing wax, and her past memories came to her mind. Once upon a time, her cousin was very considerate and served her food, and was also very gentle and patient.
After dinner, Li Xiulian couldn't wait to talk to Liu Chengxuan alone, so she said, "Cousin, it's not dark yet, can you take us to find a house?"
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Li Xiulian without saying anything and continued to clean the table.
Liu Chengxuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. Everyone is at home now, so it's easier to find out."
He turned around and said hello to his wife, "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
Zhou Xiaofu nodded, "Okay, since my cousin is busy, I won't keep you here. Bring the kids to play when you have time."
The corners of Lu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched. She is an adult, okay?
Liu Chengxuan and the others left, and the originally crowded room suddenly became empty. Zhou Xiaofu continued to clean up with a heavy heart.
After Li Xiulian and her companions walked for a while, she sent her children away and asked Liu Chengxuan, "Cousin, have you forgotten the promise you made to me? Didn't you say you would never get married and would protect me in a corner where I couldn't see you? Then what are you now?"
Liu Chengxuan thought that what was to come would come, and answered frankly, "Cousin, we had a good date at the beginning. I was looking forward to that day all day long, and I happily welcomed you home, but you ended up sleeping with a man who was almost twenty years older than you.
You told me that you were forced to do this, that you were sorry for our relationship, that you were sorry for me, that you wanted to die to prove how deep our relationship was.
I also believed it, I believed that you were forced to do it, and I hated myself even more for being so insignificant and powerless in front of that man.
