Chapter 1441: Heartbreak

Nanluoguxiang

Xu Damao was boasting loudly at home, He Yushui was hugging Yu Haitang and pouring out her grievances, Sha Zhuzhu was standing outside the house gazing at the starry sky, the Eldest Aunt was sitting in the room wiping away tears, and the Deaf Old Lady was lying on the bed sighing and groaning...

At the same time, Cao Weiguo's home was filled with laughter and joy; Chen Xueru had brought over a bundle of high-quality silk, which made Song Yulan and Song Yujuan unable to put it down.

Women like two kinds of things: one is beautiful things, and the other is things that can make them beautiful.

Coincidentally, the silk Chen Xueru brought satisfied both points.

Cao Weiguo looked at the priceless silk and said, "Sister Xueru, you are being too formal."

Chen Xueru laughed and said, "Hi, a little silk is nothing on my end. Besides, you did me a huge favor this time. This payment of over a thousand yuan isn't just mine; more than half of it belongs to my maiden family. If not for your help, I don't know how much my maiden family would have complained about me this time."

Cao Weiguo asked in a low voice, "Sister Xueru, does your maiden family produce a lot of silk every year? Do you have any surplus?"

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Is Brother Weiguo interested?"

Cao Weiguo: "I have a friend in the Foreign Trade Department of Huarun. Silk is very popular abroad. If Sister Xueru is interested, we can cooperate in the future."

The silk Chen Xueru brought was of superior quality; whether in the present or the future, it was a high-value commodity, one could even call it a "luxury good."

Due to the general environment, the price of silk was at a low point domestically. If one could buy in bulk during this period and sell in bulk later, one would certainly make a huge profit.

Because of the changes in diplomatic relations, the cooperation between Chen Xueru and Irina had ceased, and she was worrying about sales channels. Cao Weiguo's "connections" were like timely rain for her.

Chen Xueru's face was full of joy: "Really! That would be too great! My good brother, you really are my savior. Then from now on, I will hand over all the silk in my hands to you."

Cao Weiguo smiled and said, "Then from now on, we are partners."

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xueru got up to say goodbye. Cao Weiguo saw her out of the alley, and on his way back, he happened to run into Liu Guangtian returning from outside: "Guangtian, did you go looking for your object again?"

Liu Guangtian said dejectedly, "Brother Weiguo, don't mention it, that object of mine has already blown over."

Cao Weiguo asked in surprise, "What happened? Weren't you two getting along quite well?"

Liu Guangtian said indignantly, "Getting along doesn't matter. She climbed a high branch and wants to fly to the top of the branch to become a phoenix. How could she still look at me, this dirt chicken? A relative of her family introduced her to a courtyard youth. The two of them saw each other once and hit it off, and she kicked me to the curb."

Cao Weiguo patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder to comfort him: "Alright! There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world, no need to pine for just one flower. Don't be too sad, cheer up, and find a better girl to be your wife in the future."

Liu Guangtian said with a wilted head, "Brother Weiguo, stop comforting me. I'm fine, I'm just unhappy in my heart and feel unconvinced. I've seen that man; he's not as tall as me, not as strong as me, stammers when he speaks, and his face is full of pockmarks. How am I inferior to him? Is it just because his dad is a Colonel? And his mom is a Deputy District Head?"

Cao Weiguo comforted him: "Alright, don't be unhappy. When the old man lost his horse, who knew it wouldn't be a blessing? According to what you said, that woman could leave you because the other party's family conditions were good, so even if you got married, there might be changes in the future. Now that you aren't married yet, her leaving you might be a good thing, saving you from greater harm later. It's not early, don't think too much. Let the past be the past. Go home and have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, you'll be a fine, upstanding hero again. Work hard in the future, put your strength into building the motherland, and strive to achieve some results. When that time comes, will you still worry about not being able to marry a good girl?"

Liu Guangtian said listlessly, "I know, Brother Weiguo, I'm going back."

Watching Liu Guangtian's desolate back, Cao Weiguo couldn't help but shake his head.

This is life!

Liu Guangtian returned home in a daze, sitting on a chair with empty eyes, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, which made Liu Haizhong, who was listening to the radio, frown slightly: "Why are you crying with that face? Your old man isn't dead yet! Go cry outside if you want to cry! Don't affect me here while I'm paying attention to national affairs."

Liu Guangtian said irritably, "Dad, you only know how to care about national affairs. You don't care about my affairs at all. My object has blown over, I don't have an object anymore, my love is gone."

Liu Haizhong said with a straight face, "This was within my expectations long ago. I told you before, your object's father is a merchant and her mother is an actress; their family background isn't good. Merchants chase profit, and actresses are heartless. That girl follows their example, how could she be any good? How did your affair go yellow? I don't need to guess to know she kicked you, right?"

Liu Guangtian's eye sockets turned red: "Right, she kicked me. She got together with a courtyard youth just because that man's dad is a military officer." ===== CHAPTER 1443 =====
