Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 123 You are allowed to have platonic love
"Let's go back to the house first, we can't solve the problem here."

"Go back to the house, soak your feet to warm them up, and then tell Auntie what happened. Auntie will help you make the decision."

Zhou Wenjing was then dragged back to the silk shop.

Although there were many clerks at this time, no one dared to interfere with the boss's affairs.

By the time they reached the fourth floor, Jiang Meiying had already prepared foot washing water.

Seeing the two people entering the room, he quickly said: "Wen Jing, please soak your feet first, don't freeze."

Jiang Meiying said that and was about to step forward, but when Zhou Wenjing saw her mother coming, she subconsciously stood behind Chen Xueru.

Jiang Meiying felt a pain in her heart and froze on the spot, standing at a loss.

When Chen Xueru saw this, she said, "Why do you want to sever the relationship between mother and son?"

While talking, Zhou Wenjing was pulled out by Chen Xueru.

The little girl stopped looking at the two of them with an unconvinced look, and looked to the side with tears in her eyes again.

"Oh, this is incredible."

"Okay, Mei Ying, I'll take this girl back."

"You can stay here for the night. It's not safe for you to go back by yourself. Or I can go back and ask Xiuzhu to take you back there."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying shook her head and said, "It will get dark soon, so don't let Xiuzhu make another trip. I'll stay here."

Zhou Wenjing, who was originally able to hold back her tears, suddenly lost control when she thought of her brother Xiuzhu again after hearing what the two said.

Chen Xueru was just about to let Zhou Wenjing go, but when she turned around she saw the little girl crying, and said angrily: "Go wash your feet, change a pair of socks, put on your shoes and we'll leave, otherwise I won't care about you."

Zhou Wenjing turned her head again and ignored the two of them.

She felt that she had been deceived and that Chen Xueru was deceiving her.

Yes, she didn't even want to scream amidst her inner complaints.

Chen Xueru suddenly laughed angrily when she saw Zhou Wenjing like this.

"Come on, since you don't care, then I don't care anymore."

"Baby Mei Ying, come and massage me. I'm very tired this day."

"It just so happens that your daughter doesn't want to wash her feet anymore, so don't waste this water."

"That one over there, if you want to walk, you should put on your shoes and walk."

"Anyway, your grandpa and grandma don't live far away."

"I ran for 10 minutes and came back."

After hearing this, Zhou Wenjing immediately wiped her eyes with her sleeves, stubbornly walked to her shoes and put them on before leaving.

But before she could leave, as soon as she reached the door, Chen Xueru stopped her from stepping out with just one word.

"It seems that someone doesn't want to fall in love with her brother Xiuzhu."

"Okay, as an aunt, I have nothing to worry about."

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Meiying apologetically, and Jiang Meiying could only lower her head helplessly.

Zhou Wenjing's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she could no longer take another step.

The light of hope at this moment is like a life-saving straw.

She wished Chen Xueru would ask her to go back.

However, she stayed there for a long time and no one called her again.

"Huh, this hot water is so comfortable. Our Mei Ying is the one who feels sorry for you."

Chen Xueru said and leaned back on the sofa.

The hot foot washing water and Jiang Meiying's gentle and gentle massage soon made Chen Xueru feel sleepy, as if she could fall asleep at any time in the next moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Meiying relaxed her movements with some distress.

"Don't be gentle, it was just right."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying put in a little more effort and then said, "Xiuzhu came here before, by car."

"Originally, I wanted to pick you up, but you just happened to get sidetracked. You came back within 10 minutes of him leaving."

Chen Xueru was startled when she heard this, then opened her eyes and laughed.

"The car I ordered finally came back. I've been sick of riding in a rickshaw for the past two days."

"Let Zaoer learn from Xiuzhu later and drive there for me."

"Oh, your words suddenly made me feel energetic."

"Come on, let's go home now. I want to see my car."

However, at this moment, Zhou Wenjing came over, looked at Chen Xueru and asked, "Aunt Xueru, is what you just said true?"

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said coldly: "Take off your socks, soak your feet, and then follow me home."

"If you don't want to hang out, just leave and don't talk to me."

After hearing this, Zhou Wenjing sat next to him and quickly took off her dirty white socks.

Zhou Wenjing naturally did not dare to compete with Chen Xueru for the footbath at this time, and looked at Jiang Meiying pitifully.

After all, Jiang Meiying still felt sorry for her daughter.

When she saw her daughter asking for help, she was about to pour another basin of water, but as soon as she raised her hand, Chen Xueru pressed her on her shoulder.

Chen Xueru looked at Zhou Wenjing and said angrily: "Look what your mother is doing, why do you still ask your aunt to make a footbath for you? Or do you think you think your aunt is dirty?"

"Put it in yourself."

"Oh, oh." Zhou Wenjing quickly put her feet into the footbath like a little quail that made a mistake, and her cold feet were immediately warmed up.

"Wen Jing, have you ever heard of platonic love?"

Zhou Wenjing was stunned when she heard this and had no impression at all.

Just when she was hesitant to answer, Jiang Meiying suddenly said: "Platonic love is a view of love named after the Western philosopher Plato."

"Pure love that pursues spiritual communication and rational spirit."

Seeing her daughter's confused look, Jiang Meiying explained helplessly: "To put it simply, it is pure spiritual love."

"Because Plato loved a man and could not complete the reproduction of men and women."

"So this is a way of love that evaluates love based on time and only meets the spiritual needs of the other person and stays away from the physical needs."

Speaking of this, Jiang Meiying looked at Chen Xueru and asked, "Do you want Wen Jing and Xiuzhu to have a platonic love relationship?"

Chen Xueru nodded when she heard this and said: "That's all we can do now. I think you can agree that this is the end of it, right?"

"Maybe Wen Jing is just impulsive. When she gets to know more people in the future, she may not like Xiuzhu anymore."

She didn't believe Chen Xueru's words. Chun Chun was fooling Jiang Meiying, but what could she do.

Jiang Meiying didn't believe it either, thinking about the two sisters in her family who had become 'sisters'.

Although it is still pure now, who knows the future?

But she didn't have any good ideas for a while. Maybe it could be like what Xue Ru said. After a while, after meeting more people, Wen Jing might fall in love with someone else.

Zhou Wenjing also understood what Chen Xueru meant and immediately said, "What if I'm not impulsive? What if I don't want to just have a spiritual love with brother Xiuzhu?"

"Then I have no choice. You have to convince your mother."

"If it really doesn't work, then I'm afraid you and your daughter will have to cut off the relationship. Otherwise, your mother won't agree and it's unethical."

Zhou Wenjing's eyes lit up when she heard this.

The new female student is mainly selfish and does not recognize her relatives.

In The Three-Body Problem, there are many people like Ye Wenjie’s mother and sister who framed their husband and father.

It's not a betrayal, it's a frame-up.

Jiang Meiying's eyes trembled when she heard this, and the hand she squeezed Chen Xueru instantly increased her strength by [-]%.

"Hey, Mei Ying, you're going to crush me to death."

"Hmph, since it hurts, I shouldn't be tired anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Meiying let go of her hand, walked around the sofa and sat in front, staring at Chen Xueru with resentful eyes.

Chen Xueru couldn't bear it for a while. If others looked at her, she would not be afraid at all, not even her mother.

But when Jiang Meiying looked at her, she felt a little guilty.

After all, this woman trusted her wholeheartedly and relied on her.

Chen Xueru hugged Jiang Meiying flatteringly and said, "Oh, don't you look at me like that? Just tell me, is this the best way now?"

"If you have other ideas, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Meiying looked at her daughter after hearing this, thought about it silently, and finally agreed dejectedly.

"If it's just platonic love, I agree, but not anything else."

Jiang Meiying looked at Zhou Wenjing and said, "Wenjing, take a closer look at your classmates in school. There are many outstanding ones among them."

Zhou Wenjing glanced at Chen Xueru after hearing this, then looked at her mother again, and said: "Mom, I agree, you can also contact other classmates."

"But if I still love my brother after I graduate from junior high school, then let's break off the relationship."

Jiang Meiying had expected it when Chen Xueru said that, but her heart still hurt when she heard the words, and she sighed and nodded.

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and said, "Look, isn't this solved? Then does Wen Jing want to go back with me?" "If you don't leave, then I can leave."

Zhou Wenjing hurriedly said: "Aunt Xueru, I'll go back with you."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru looked at Zhou Wenjing displeased and said, "You are about to officially fall in love with your brother, and you still call me aunt?"

"Let me tell you, if either your mother or I disagree, you will never have a future."

"Although your Xiuzhu brother is a free man and has autonomy, your brother is the most obedient to my sister's words, and he also cares most about our Mei Ying."

Zhou Wenjing was stunned when she heard the words: "Ah? Then what should I call you?"

Jiang Meiying covered her forehead and was speechless, a little embarrassed.

Chen Xueru looked at Jiang Meiying. Although she said nothing, her eyes seemed to say: Why is your daughter so stupid? Is she her biological child? I've given her the correct answers, but she can't even answer?
Seeing her daughter asking for help, Jiang Meiying finally softened her heart and said helplessly: "I will call you sister from now on, otherwise you will never have a future."

Jiang Meiying looked at Chen Xueru and asked, "Have you applied for a marriage certificate for your family?"

Chen Xueru shook her head when she heard this and explained: "They said that my concubine doesn't have a certificate. I can just issue a certificate if necessary."

Jiang Meiying nodded when she heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he took a deep breath and told his daughter: "If outsiders ask you in the future, just say that you are engaged to your brother. You used to go to school outside and you just came back recently."

After Jiang Meiying said these words, she suddenly felt a little tired. These words were her own that broke the barriers in her heart.

Chen Xueru naturally knows this, and suddenly feels a little sorry for her Mei Ying. What should she do?
"Since everything is fine, how about the three of us go back together and ask Xiuzhu to take you there."

Jiang Meiying hesitated and nodded.

Although it was very safe here, she really didn't feel safe living alone.

"Let's go then."

Li Xiuzhu had already arrived when they went home. He first sent Zhou Xue back there, and then took Qin Huairu back to Nanluogu Lane.

Li Xiuzhu truly underestimated the shock that a car would bring to people.

In this era where even a bicycle has the potential to be a sports car, a car is as shocking as driving a helicopter on the street.

As soon as he parked the car, a circle of people gathered around him.

Just after I told him not to be touched, people gathered around him three times.

People in their courtyard also heard the noise and ran out to watch the fun.

"Li Xiuzhu, your family is buying a car. It looks much better than the ones I saw before."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Didn't you go abroad before? Xueru bought it there and it was just shipped back to the country today."

"The car is a new model from last year, so the style is relatively new."

Hearing this, the Qian family's daughter-in-law suddenly asked, "Li Xiuzhu, does your car cost a lot of money?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "9000 yuan can buy a house."

"Sigh~"

After hearing the price of 9000 yuan, those who still wanted to touch it suddenly felt weak. If they bumped into it and lost some skin, they would have to pay hundreds of yuan to compensate.

"Li Xiuzhu, you are so lucky. If you marry a rich woman like Chen Xueru, you won't have to worry about it for eight lifetimes."

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family's daughter-in-law looked at the man who was speaking and said coldly: "You mean you will be unlucky if you marry me, right?"

"Believe it or not, I will divorce you now and go to work in Xueru Factory."

Hearing this, the man from the Zhao family quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I said the wrong thing. I am lucky to have you. Seriously, don't be angry."

The Zhao family's daughter-in-law snorted coldly when she heard this and said, "That's not bad. Nowadays, women can hold up half the sky, and anyone can live without anyone."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can live, but we don't need you to work at home. I can make money to support you."

Although Chen Xueru's garment factory has grown in scale, except for the Sun family's daughter-in-law, the people in their courtyard also asked the Qian family's daughter-in-law to work in the garment factory.

Most of the rest are still influenced by old ideas and take care of their children at home.

Marry a Han, marry a Han, dress and eat.

Moreover, what was emphasized before was caring for husbands and raising children, and it was virtue for a woman not to have talents.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and was considering whether to help Chen Xueru recruit people.

If we are just recruiting people, what if these people are lazy and slippery and need to be fired?
Then you will offend someone.

Although he had many backup plans, he still had to keep a low profile during those ten years.

So it's best not to make enemies.

"Li Xiuzhu, isn't it safe to leave your car here?"

"If nothing else, what if a child from a certain family is naughty and wants to draw a picture for you?"

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Our family has a separate small house. Just park the car over there."

"The most we can do here is stop temporarily, and we can just take a look when we turn around."

To be honest, it’s just a car and I don’t care anymore.

You can easily change it to a new car, and it won't affect the driving if you get bumps, scratches, or anything like that.

In ten years or so, the cars will get better and better, and I will buy a few more by then.

It's a pity, I'm afraid it won't be able to be opened in China by then.

If you want to drive a good car in China, you have to wait until 83 when things become completely stable.

Li Xiuzhu left the car at the door and didn't care. He went home to cook.

Originally, Lao Yi was supposed to invite Lao Yi to dinner today, but unfortunately he arrived late and didn't buy any meat, so he had to reschedule the banquet tomorrow.

But today is a good day to pick up your car. Wouldn’t this improve your life?
Qin Huairu was worried and asked Qin Zhaodi to come out and watch the car order.

She has a job and has to help her brother. She has learned cooking skills for a long time and cannot let it go to waste.

Stew the braised pork, and then have a Northeastern stew.

Turn off the stove and just bake oysters with garlic vermicelli.

Then fry the lobster in the entire typhoon shelter. When Chen Xueru comes back, it will be delicious.

However, he didn't do the braised pork or Northeastern stew. Qin Huairu wanted to become more proficient in cooking, so he left it to her.

He handles large lobsters with his own children. Making lobsters is a delicate job, including adding water, chopping with knives, and shaving shrimp paste.

In addition to lobster meat, shrimp paste is also of great use.

Boil the shrimp heads and cook the shrimp paste into porridge.

The overwhelming aroma of shrimp paste instantly makes a pot of porridge incomparably delicious.

Paired with various seasonings, a pot of seafood salty porridge is ready.

The seafood smell of lobster was too overpowering. Qin Huairu came over, looked at it and asked, "Brother, this porridge is too fragrant. It smells good."

“I’ve caught baby shrimps in the village before, but I never thought that shrimps could taste like this.”

"And what kind of shrimp is this shrimp? It's too big, it must be almost ten pounds."

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "This is a lobster in the sea. The one with the word dragon is naturally much bigger."

"But this is not the biggest one. I ate fifteen pounds when I was in Daying."

"If we have the opportunity in the future, our family will go abroad for a few days together and show you different scenery."

Qin Huairu nodded fiercely when she heard Li Xiuzhu's words, and was aroused by a lobster to go abroad.

She swallowed and watched silently as her brother prepared another dish.

The body of such a big lobster hasn't been finished yet, and she is very curious about what her brother will do.

The preparation of Typhoon Shelter mainly depends on the ingredients. The fried garlic cubes are the soul, and there are also bread crumbs.

Although he didn't have bread crumbs, he did have bread. He dried it on the stove and kneaded it to make a portion of bread crumbs.

Li Xiuzhu was not in a hurry to finish it, and only made it into a semi-finished product. Not all the women at home had returned. Now that it is done, it will not taste good when it is cold.

"Huairu, just watch the pot. I'll go over there and get your other sisters to eat together."

"We are all members of our own family. We cannot eat alone. This food must be eaten fresh. It will not taste good if it is cold."

"Okay brother, don't worry, I'll watch."

There are two main dishes that need to be looked at, the two dishes made by Qin Huairu.

As for the shrimp porridge, if it is overheated, just use the residual heat to keep it warm.

As for the typhoon shelter lobster meat and grilled oysters with garlic vermicelli, they are not ready yet.

The ingredients for the lobster meat have been prepared. When I came back, I stir-fried it and it was ready in 2 minutes.

The grilled oysters with garlic vermicelli are not in a hurry to be put on the stove, they are just arranged and the sauce is poured on them.

As soon as Li Xiuzhu walked to the middle courtyard, Chen Xueru came back.

Not only did she come back, she also brought Jiang Meiying and Zhou Wenjing with her.

When Chen Xueru saw Li Xiuzhu walking out, she was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I'll pick up Sister Xia and Sister Xue."

"I knew I wouldn't let Sister Xue go. I just sent it over and I have to pick it up again."
