Zhou Shen, who was eating heavily, was stunned for a moment before realizing that the victim was Chen Xiaohong's husband.

"Did your husband get beaten?"

"Ah, right? Otherwise?"

Chen Xiaohong, who had just opened the bowls and chopsticks, replied.

Looking up, he saw a surprised expression on Zhou Shen's face, and couldn't help but laugh: "What, you think my ex-husband hit me? You're kidding, how could he dare to hit me? Give him some courage."

Zhou Shen looked at Chen Xiaohong's funny look, nodded suddenly and said: "It has been more than ten years, and your temper has not changed at all."

Chen Xiaohong picked up a chopstick and put the pickled cabbage in the bowl, and said with a smile: "It can't be changed. People like us who have no parents or brothers and sisters to rely on, no one will help us when we are bullied, we can only rely on ourselves.

What should I do if I'm more aggressive?"

Zhou Shen asked doubtfully: "Where is your dad?"

Chen Xiaohong: "He passed away more than ten years ago."

Zhou Shen asked: "Isn't it because of this that you dropped out of school and went to work?"

Chen Xiaohong: "That's right! My dad helped someone build a house and lifted the floor to the second floor. As a result, his foot slipped and he fell down. The floor fell on him and he died on the spot."

After hearing this, Zhou Shen imagined such a scene and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Chen Xiaohong said casually, as if talking about other people's family affairs: "The foreman ran away overnight, and the homeowner's family paid 10,000 yuan for funeral expenses. After the funeral, I followed my cousin to learn electrical engineering.

.”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaohong smiled and said: "Actually, I regretted it within a few days after arriving there. I wanted to come back and continue studying, but I was afraid that you would laugh at me, so I gritted my teeth and stayed on the sandbank..."

Chen Xiaohong was smiling, but her tone and eyes were full of regret.

She had good grades. If she had come back and continued studying, she would have had a completely different life.

Zhou Shen nodded and said nothing to comfort him.

He understood that Chen Xiaohong did not say this to win his sympathy, she simply wanted to talk.

All you need to do is listen quietly.

At this moment, the landlady came in carrying cabbage and mushroom-roasted pork in a dry pot.

Zhou Shen greeted Chen Xiaohong and said, "Eat quickly."

After saying that, he started to devour it again.

"Practicing external skills really consumes too much energy, and ordinary food provides very little energy (energy that can be converted into attribute points). You can only rely on eating a lot, which is not good."

"I'm just getting started now. As the level increases, I will definitely need more and more energy in the future. Ordinary food can't satisfy my consumption at all. I have to find some recipes like Sansu Yunfei Soup.

, or medicinal food will do. Go back and search online to see if there is any?"

"Donkey-hide gelatin, deer antler, and the amazing ginseng that was posted on the Internet, I will buy some to try..."

Zhou Shen was thinking about messy things in his mind, and Chen Xiaohong, who was opposite him, briefly talked about what happened after dropping out of school.

As for what happened with her ex-husband, she only mentioned it in one word.

After all, beating your husband is not a glorious thing and is nothing worth showing off.

"Don't just tell me, tell me too, what's going on now?"

"I...that's what I am, a jobless vagabond. Now I'm lying flat at home, eating and waiting to die..."

Before Zhou Shen finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at it and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Excuse me, please answer the phone."

"Hello. Who is this?"

A rich baritone voice came from the phone, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Liu Yunhua. Has my father ever mentioned me to you?"

Zhou Shen said: "Oh, I told you."

Yesterday, Teacher Liu sent him a letter of authority to tell him that he had given it to his son, as well as his mobile phone number.

He didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point: "What do you want from me?"

Liu Yunhua smiled and said, "That's it, Teacher Zhou. I'm going back to my hometown on a business trip tomorrow and want to pay you a visit. Is it convenient for you?"

Liu Yunhua speaks very modestly and low-key, referring to him as "teacher" and "you".

Zhou Shen said simply: "Okay."

The two people agreed on a time and place to meet on the phone.

When Zhou Shen hung up, Chen Xiaohong asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you are unemployed, why do people call you a teacher every time?"

The private room was very quiet, so Chen Xiaohong could hear the voice of the person on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Shen said with a smile: "Calling me teacher is just to look more dignified. You can't call me Master Zhou, right?"

"hehe……"

…

There is no quarrel, no drama of "rekindling an old love".

Classmates who have been classmates for many years met by chance and chatted about their life experiences and ups and downs over the years, and then talked about some interesting people and things in school, that's all.

Of course, this is just Zhou Shen's idea. As for what Chen Xiaohong thinks, only she knows.

After dinner, when Zhou Shen gave the money, he realized that Chen Xiaohong had already paid the bill.

"Didn't you agree to my treat? Why are you rushing to pay for it?"

"Why don't you treat me to a treat next time? Anyway, you're in your hometown now, so you're afraid you won't have the chance?"

"Okay. Where are you going now?"

"Of course I'm going home. My daughter is still doing her homework at a classmate's house. I'm going to pick her up."

Chen Xiaohong has a daughter who has just entered first grade.

She has a fierce personality, but she is also very strong. When she got divorced, she only had custody of her children and then left the house.

And she doesn’t need a penny of child support from her ex-husband, so she can make money for her daughter to study.

Therefore, if a person is too strong, his life will often be harder.

Compete with everything and fight for everything.

Zhou Shen watched Chen Xiaohong leave, and then went to the Malatang shop to say goodbye to Wei Biao.

When Wei Biao saw Zhou Shen coming over, a lustful smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, hey, how's it going? When old classmates meet, are there any sparks?"

"You're Hua Hua, he's a serious person, don't talk nonsense! If this gets to people's ears, they'll really think I'm plotting against him."

"Okay, okay, you are a serious person."

Seeing his wife coming over, Wei Biao immediately changed the subject and asked: "Chen Xiaohong was here just now. I didn't ask you, how is your health now?"

Zhou Shen smiled and said: "I survived the catastrophe and basically recovered."

"Really? Don't tell me, your face looks much better than last time."

"Yes……"

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Shen went home.

…

A five-star hotel in Huaijiang City.

A group of men were drinking and mingling.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the private room from outside. Then the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a dignified appearance walked in.

When people in the private room saw the person coming, they all said hello.

The man sitting in the main seat blushed and said: "Old Liu, come and sit down, I'm waiting for you."

The middle-aged man came in and sat down next to the man in charge.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I want to discuss something with you. Let me lend you one tomorrow."

Mr. Zhang next to him said strangely: "What do you mean by borrowing someone?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'll lend you Assistant Huo. I want to ask him for help with something."

Mr. Zhang looked drunk on his face, but there was a cunning light in his eyes. He laughed and said: "Assistant Huo helped me move things yesterday and accidentally sprained his foot. Why don't I help you ask after I get back?"

Ask him?"

The middle-aged man is none other than Liu Yunhua.

And the assistant Huo he borrowed, his full name is Huo Wentao.

At the age of 12, he joined the Sanda team of Jinling City, Dongjiang Province for training. He has won the 70kg and 75kg championships in Dongjiang Province and even the National Wushu Sanda Games and Championships many times.

After retiring, he served as a director of the Jinling City and Dongjiang Provincial Wushu Associations.
