Chapter 469

Bidding farewell to Jian Mingli, Su Xinghui went straight home. Upon returning, he saw only his father and mother at home; his father was reading the newspaper, and his mother was watching TV. He asked, "Mom, did Sister and Brother-in-law leave?"

Guo Suhua said, "Yes, they went home."

Su Xinghui sat down and accompanied Guo Suhua to watch TV. Of course, there was nothing good to watch on TV, but what mattered was being able to keep his mother company.

Guo Suhua asked in a low voice, "Xinghui, which one is your partner? Have you decided yet?"

Su Xinghui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No wonder many boys didn't want to be alone with their parents; as soon as they were alone, they would ask about such things. It was quite annoying to be asked too much.

Su Xinghui shook his head, "Mom, not yet."

Guo Suhua said, "I think Miss Xue Qin and that Miss Xia Zhu are both good. Don't get dazzled by choices; hurry up and decide on one, get married early, and have children early. While Mom's health is still good, I can help you look after the children for a few years."

Su Xinghui said, "Mom, I'm only twenty-two, what are you in such a hurry for? I still have many things to do; I don't want to consider such things so early. Besides, it's not a bad thing to be a bit picky."

Guo Suhua said, "You can afford to wait, but the girls can't."

Su Wenjun raised his head and said, "I say, mother of the child, the child has finally come back once, can you stop nagging non-stop every day? Do you have to make the child afraid to come back? It's good for the child to prioritize his career; a great man shouldn't worry about not having a wife."

Guo Suhua said, "Fine, then I won't say anything."

In fact, this kind of conversation would happen every time Su Xinghui came back. Guo Suhua would say she wouldn't say it next time, but as soon as Su Xinghui came back the next time, she would forget and this conversation would happen again.

Su Xinghui said, "Mom, rest assured, in the future, I will definitely bring back a daughter-in-law who satisfies you, and I will definitely have a cute child for you to look after."

Guo Suhua smiled, "Alright, Mom knows you're capable. Anyway, if there's a girl you like, don't delay."

Su Xinghui nodded, "I understand."

The next day was Sunday. Su Xinghui went out early in the morning to buy groceries. Every time he came back on a Sunday, he would buy groceries for his mother, which could be considered fulfilling his filial duty.

Nowadays, buying groceries was still done at the old farmers' market, but every time Su Xinghui came here to buy groceries, he felt it could no longer meet the needs of the people. The old farmers' market was too narrow and small, with no room for expansion. Now, there were more and more vendors selling groceries, and more and more people buying them. Every time Su Xinghui came here to buy groceries, he felt it was unbearably crowded.

Today was Sunday, so there were even more people buying groceries, making it even more crowded. As soon as Su Xinghui entered the farmers' market, he heard people complaining that it was too crowded, but immediately someone said that the new farmers' market would be built soon, and it would be better then, telling them to endure it a little longer.

Su Xinghui nodded to himself upon hearing this. He bought a fish and some meat and vegetables. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhong Lixing, who was also carrying some groceries. Beside him was a woman. Su Xinghui looked closely and saw it was Fan Zhenzhen. It seemed the couple had already made up, which was good news.

Su Xinghui hadn't decided whether to greet Zhong Lixing when Zhong Lixing's gaze swept over and saw him. His originally smiling face froze. Su Xinghui smiled and called out, "Brother Zhong!"

Seeing an acquaintance, Zhong Lixing was clearly a bit embarrassed. He said somewhat stiffly, "Little Su, it's you!"

Su Xinghui then said to Fan Zhenzhen, "Sister Fan."

Fan Zhenzhen didn't know him and was stunned for a moment. Su Xinghui said, "Sister Fan, hello, I am a student of Teacher Fan, my name is Su Xinghui."

Only then did Fan Zhenzhen give a stiff smile and say, "Hello, Little Su."

Su Xinghui also understood their psychology of not wanting to meet acquaintances, so he nodded and said, "Brother Zhong, Sister Fan, then I'll be going back first."

Only then did Zhong Lixing and Fan Zhenzhen nod with relief, watching Su Xinghui leave.

On the way home, Su Xinghui thought that Zhong Lixing and Fan Zhenzhen being able to reconcile could be considered a relatively good ending.

Fan Zhenzhen had truly suffered a hard life, being raped and occupied by Tao Yan for several years. It was truly not easy for her to endure humiliation and collect evidence of Tao Yan's illegal activities. However, in the current public opinion environment in China, she would inevitably have to endure some criticism, and even rumors and gossip might accompany her for a long time. All of this could only be left to time to wash away.
