Chapter 1043: Ugly, but Deep and Connotative

Liu Meilan was surprised and looked at Sun Youcai.

This man is short and ugly, but he has depth and substance! No wonder he's wiser than Zhou Xingwang in dealing with people!

Feeling Liu Meilan's gaze, Sun Youcai smiled: "Did I say something wrong?"

Liu Meilan shook her head. "You're right. You're absolutely right. People who are favored feel they are the only ones, so they become fearless. If you just don't care so much, maybe everything will be fine."

Zhou Xingwang nodded: "Yes, so I have to learn to let go. I have given Zhou Huanhuan more than enough. As for the rest, I don't care."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Meilan stood up to open the door. She didn't recognize the person standing at the door. The woman standing at the door was 1.75 meters tall and muscular, with strong muscles in her arms. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Chen Xiaolu replied: "Does Professor Xie live here?"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes, who are you? What do you want to see my mother about?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaolu smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Chen Xiaolu, a student once sponsored by Professor Xie. Now that I'm retired, I came to visit her."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Please come in. Mom, Chen Xiaolu is here to visit you."

Zhou Xingwang and Sun Youcai looked at each other, stood up and walked over.

Sun Youcai quickly said, "It's her, Chen Xiaolu!"

Zhou Xingwang swallowed his saliva: "I feel like she can beat several of me!"

Sun Youcai smiled proudly: "It is precisely because of my strength that I was able to deal with your daughter Zhou Huanhuan and give birth to a strong child. If you still care about looks like before, I guess... you will be like this for the rest of your life. For a woman, the best one is one who can make a living and handle things."

Chen Xiaolu came in with a smile: "Professor Xie, I wanted to thank you last time, but you were not there, so I visited Teacher Wang first. Today is a day off, so I came to visit you."

Professor Xie was also very fond of Chen Xiaolu when he saw him, and quickly moved a stool: "Xiaolu, come and sit down."

Chen Xiaolu walked over and saw Sun Youcai: "Cousin-in-law, why are you here?"

Sun Youcai smiled and replied, "Xiaolu, I came here to chat. I didn't expect you to come. I'll go back now and ask your cousin to cook. Come to my house for lunch."

Chen Xiaolu waved his hand: "No need, I'll be leaving soon."

"How can that be?" Sun Youcai refused. "Since you're here, how can I let you go? Your cousin is still nagging that you must eat at home today. It's settled. I'll go home and cook first."

After saying that, Sun Youcai was about to go back.

Chen Xiaolu saw Zhou Xingwang and bowed to him: "Brother Zhou, thank you for helping my family. Otherwise, my grandmother would have no money to treat her illness!"

Zhou Xingwang pointed at himself, his eyes filled with confusion: "Me? I've never funded you!"

Chen Xiaolu was startled and looked at Sun Youcai: "Cousin-in-law...what's going on?"

Zhou Xingwang also looked at Sun Youcai: "What's going on?"

Sun Youcai said embarrassedly, "I didn't have any money at the time, so I borrowed it from you! You saw I was poor, so you didn't ask me for it. Since you gave me the money, of course it's considered your support."

When everyone heard this, they understood.

One couldn't bear to see his brother go through poverty, while the other wanted to give him a good reputation. From this perspective, it's no wonder they've been such good friends for so many years. They've supported each other through hardship, and even now that they're rich, they still help each other.

Chen Xiaolu bowed and said, "Brother Zhou, although you don't know this, that money did make my grandmother's life more comfortable in her last few years. Now I have some money in my hand and can return it to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingwang quickly waved his hands: "It's been so long, and this money was given to you by your cousin's husband. If it can make the old man feel more comfortable, it's money well spent. I don't need the money now, so you don't have to pay me back. Just consider it a good deed."

Sun Youcai quickly said, "Yes, you don't have to pay it back. Xiaolu, you must come to our house for dinner."

Sun Youcai pulled Zhou Xingwang away.

When they got outside, Sun Youcai lowered his voice and asked, "How was it? Xiaolu had a good impression of you, right? Besides being rather strong, you're actually not that bad-looking. Besides, we all have ordinary looks, so as long as we're good people, that's more important than anything else!"

Zhou Xingwang touched his chin. He was worried that she was ugly, but after taking a closer look, he found that she was not ugly at all.

But Zhou Xingwang didn't believe it and whispered, "I'm ten years older than her. I... I really... Even if she retired and is now an elementary school teacher, she shouldn't be single!"

Sun Youcai sighed, "Alas, many people think she's a tomboy. But she looks like this because of her parents, so it's not Xiaolu's fault. Although there's a big age gap between you two, you're rich. Besides, you're my good brother, and I trust your character."

"Besides, Xiaolu is a very kind child, he just looks a bit masculine. But look at my wife, isn't she the same? She's a head taller than me, and we're doing pretty well."

Zhou Xingwang suppressed his laughter and asked, "Why did you choose such a high-ranking wife? I heard that you gave quite a bit of money as a betrothal gift!"

Sun Youcai pointed at himself and said, "Look at me, I'm only 1.58 meters tall. I've been bullied since I was a child. If you hadn't protected me, I would have been beaten up all the time. My mother said that she would find me a tall wife so that my children would grow taller."

"I used to feel embarrassed when I was little, but when I reached puberty and became more sensible, I realized that being short is discriminated against everywhere. When it comes to finding a partner, it doesn't matter if they're ugly or handsome, but they must be tall."

Zhou Xingwang laughed: "Then how can you guarantee that the child will look like the mother and not you?"

Sun Youcai said proudly: "There is an old saying that goes, 'If the father is tall, only one child is taller; if the mother is tall, the whole family is taller.' Facts have proved that I did the right thing. My three children are all quite tall, much taller than me anyway."

"Come on, come on, come with me to buy groceries! I'll let my wife cook a table for lunch, and you, come with me and have a drink with Xiaolu. Let's get to know each other first. If you two can get along, I'll let my wife help you to get along!"

Zhou Xingwang thought about it and nodded: "Okay!"

Now we really can’t act as recklessly as we did when we were young. We have to face reality.

As for the Liu family, after Sun Youcai and Zhou Xingwang left, everyone chatted more enthusiastically.

Professor Xie asked, "Xiaolu, you had a good career in the army, why did you retire?"

Xiaolu replied, "I'm a sniper in the Special Operations Forces. After I injured my arm, I can no longer perform my original duties. The army wants to transfer me to a civilian position, but I don't like it."

"They originally wanted to assign me to the police station, but I have limited education, and I know I'm not good at handling interpersonal relationships, especially those within the workplace. Sometimes there's a lot of intrigue and it's quite annoying! So I switched to being a primary school physical education teacher. Every day I take the kids running, playing football, and playing ball. I think it's great!"

She is a regular physical education teacher and no one can fire her, so she is very comfortable with this job.

More importantly, most of the help she received along the way came from teachers, so in her heart, teaching is a very noble profession.
