But Zhou Chen really didn't care about these things. Instead, he thought that it would be better if the news got out, so that everyone would know that he had a girlfriend and no one would come to propose marriage to him anymore.

In the past year or so, many people have gone to the Zhou family to propose marriage, but they were all blocked by Li Suhua without Zhou Chen's involvement.

There were so many gossips on the street that the matter between Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan lost its popularity after being spread for a few days.

…………

Li Suhua was standing at the door of her house. She saw the postman riding his bike from a distance and immediately called out, "Xiao Zhang."

The postman smoothly stopped the car in front of Li Suhua, and Li Suhua asked anxiously: "Xiao Zhang, is there any letter for our family?"

"Auntie, there is a letter from your family." Xiao Zhang replied.

Li Suhua's face suddenly lit up with joy: "Where did it come from?"

"From the mountain city."

Xiao Zhang took out a letter from his bag and handed it to Li Suhua.

When Li Suhua heard that it was a letter from Shancheng, Li Suhua was even more happy, and happily accepted the letter, holding it in his palm like a treasure.

The most anxious thing about waiting is that ever since the letter arrived, Li Suhua has been eager to know the contents of the letter.

It’s a pity that she is illiterate and can only wait for her youngest son to come back to know the contents of the letter. If Zhou Chen doesn’t come back, she can only wait patiently.

As soon as Zhou Chen got home from get off work, he saw Li Suhua rushing towards him, which scared him.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Li Suhua said anxiously: "Your father has sent a letter. Come and see what he wrote in the letter."

"That's it?"

Zhou Chen thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be just a letter. Look how anxious the old lady was.

Li Suhua said angrily, "What do you mean by just this matter? Your father sent me a letter. This is a big deal. If I were illiterate, why would I need you? Come here and read it to me."

Zhou Chen guessed that Zhou Zhigang's letter must be about him and Zheng Juan. He even guessed the result. With Zhou Zhigang's temper, he would most likely not agree.

Because he had guessed the result, he was not in a hurry at all. He slowly walked into the inner room and took the letter from Li Suhua.

"Read it to me quickly. I see your father has written a whole page this time. He must have a lot of instructions."

Zhou Chen picked up the letter and saw that it contained a lot of content. He glanced at it and saw the key content.

As he expected, Zhou Zhigang clearly stated in the letter that he did not agree with his marriage to Zheng Juan, and said that as the youngest son, he should not get married before his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi. The rest of the words were reprimands, saying that he was ignorant and did not know how to judge people.

Zhou Chen curled his lips. What a biased father. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, he never forgot to scold him through letters.

"Read quickly." Li Suhua urged.

"I'm reading it. Why are you in such a hurry? I'm starting to read it. Please listen carefully."

"Suhua, Bingkun: I have received your letter. I am very happy to receive your letter. I already know what you mentioned in your letter about Bingkun and that girl. As for my opinion, I have no opinion. Bingkun has grown up and has his own ideas. We should..."

"and many more."

Li Suhua suddenly interrupted Zhou Chen and looked at him in confusion: "Bingkun, did you read it wrong? Your father really agrees with you and Zheng Juan. Are you trying to fool Mom?"

"Mom, if you don't believe what you said, ask someone else to read it to you and see if it's the same as what I said."

Zhou Chen's expression was very calm. Lying was wrong, but he did not feel any psychological pressure at all about this matter.

Li Suhua asked Zhou Chen to put the letter on the table and said to Zhou Chen: "Read it again."

Zhou Chen followed his instructions and read the letter again from the beginning. While he was reading, Li Suhua was counting the words beside him.

She felt that although she didn't know how to read, she knew how many words there were. As long as Zhou Chen read the wrong number of words, he was lying to her.

But how could Zhou Chen make such a mistake? Although he was telling lies with his eyes open, the number of words was correct from beginning to end. It was just that the content took on a different meaning when he spoke.

It's not shameful to tell a little lie for the sake of your lifelong event.

Li Suhua stared at Zhou Chen doubtfully, but Zhou Chen's expression remained motionless and he looked so natural that she couldn't find any flaws at all.

So she began to wonder in her heart, could it be that the child's father really agreed? But based on her understanding of her man, he shouldn't have agreed so easily.

Zhou Chen continued reading the letter and soon finished it. Except for the content in the middle about him and Zheng Juan, the rest of the content was greetings and concern, so he naturally would not tamper with it.

After reading the letter, Zhou Chen said to Li Suhua with a smile: "Mom, you see my dad doesn't object to my relationship with Zheng Juan, so you will definitely not object to it either, right?"

Although Li Suhua was a little confused, she still naively believed Zhou Chen and gave Zhou Chen a blank look.

"Look how happy you are. Your father doesn't object, so of course I won't have any objections either. But I have to tell you first. If you regret it in the future, there will be no medicine to regret it."

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, you can rest assured that I will never regret it. Not only that, I will let Zheng Juan be filial to you and let you know that my choice is correct."

He has great confidence in Zheng Juan in this regard.

After Li Suhua agreed, Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan no longer concealed their relationship and spent more time together. Zhou Chen also often brought Zheng Juan to Guangzipian.

When Zheng Juan first came, people from Guangzi Pian were still talking about it, but as the number of times increased and time went by, everyone got used to it, and except for a few people who were still gossiping, most people stopped talking about it.

During this period, something happened that made Li Suhua very angry.

It was Qiao Chunyan's mother. After knowing that Li Suhua agreed to Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan's relationship, she found Li Suhua and had a big fight with her.

At the beginning, Li Suhua felt guilty and dared not say a word, letting Chunyan's mother make a fuss.

But who knew that Chunyan's mother was also a person who didn't know what to do. Her words became more and more unpleasant. She said that she was blind and became a sister of Li Suhua, and that Li Suhua was blind and found a daughter-in-law from Taiping Hutong...

In short, Li Suhua couldn't bear it anymore and started quarreling with Chunyan's mother. The two of them cursed at each other like shrews. If the neighbors hadn't found out, they would probably have started fighting.

Because of this incident, Li Suhua became even more angry and sick.

While Zhou Chen was feeding Li Suhua medicine, he advised, "Mom, don't be angry. It's not necessary. You and Aunt Qiao have known each other for so many years. It's just a few words. It will be fine in a few days."

Li Suhua's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a depressed tone: "I have known her for twenty years, and we have never had a quarrel. Just because of this matter, she actually wanted to fight with me. And, Kun'er, this is all your fault. If it weren't for you, would we have ended up like this?"

Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Mom, what you said doesn't make sense. I don't like Chunyan, do I have to go against my conscience and be with her? If I really do that, it will be irresponsible to both of our families, and it will only make things worse if something happens in the future."

Li Suhua did not refute. In fact, she was not really angry with Zhou Chen. It was just that what Chunyan's mother said was so harsh that she took her anger out on Zhou Chen.

"Now that I think about it, it may not be a bad thing for you not to be together with Chunyan. If you two really are together, I don't know how your mother-in-law will torment you in the future."

"Kun'er, don't worry about me. Go to work and don't always take leave."

Zhou Chen said: "Work is not as important as you. I will go after you get better."

"No, that won't work. You finally found a good job, you can't mess around. Mom has let it go. It's okay. Go to work quickly. If you don't go to work, Mom will be even more worried."

Zhou Chen was a doctor, so he could naturally see that Li Suhua was not in any serious condition, she was just irritated and would be fine once she calmed down.

"Then let Zheng Juan come to accompany you for the next two days, cook for you and do housework for you. This will also be a good opportunity for you to check how she does the housework."

Li Suhua asked hesitantly: "You haven't married yet, so let Zheng Juan come to our house to help, okay?"

She was indeed somewhat tempted and wanted to observe Zheng Juan more. After all, Zhou Chen had already made up his mind to be with Zheng Juan, and as a mother, she still had to keep an eye on her son.

"Of course, no problem. Zheng Juan heard that you were sick and said she wanted to come and take care of you. I didn't dare to let her come without your consent. If you don't have any objection, I will let her come and take care of you tomorrow."

"Then, let the child come over, and Mom will help you look after her."

"It's settled then, Mom. I'll have her come over tomorrow."

…………

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 72. That year, there were still only Zhou Chen and Li Suhua in the Zhou family. However, on the th, Zheng Juan also came to have a meal, and then Zhou Chen brought a bunch of gifts and sent her back to Taiping Hutong.

Li Suhua and Chunyan's mother, the old sisters, have not spoken to each other for several months since that incident.

But over time, the two of them gradually came to their senses and restored their previous friendship.

After spending a long time together, Li Suhua and Zheng Juan have become much closer, and Li Suhua also has a new respect for Zheng Juan.

Originally, she was not very satisfied with Zheng Juan, because she felt that her son married Zheng Juan, which was beyond her reach, and Zheng Juan was a burden to Zhou Chen.

But after such a long time, she discovered too many shining points in Zheng Juan.

She is honest and hardworking. Even when facing deliberate difficulties from her, Zheng Juan never complains and always does things according to her wishes.

This made her, a kind-hearted girl, fall in love with Zheng Juan.

Originally, there were only her and Zhou Chen at home, but sometimes when Zheng Juan came, the house became obviously much livelier.

Zhou Chen took a rest that day, but even though he was resting at home, he was not idle.

Recently, the sales of Golden Land magazine have been rising steadily, becoming the best-selling department of the publishing house, and he has made an indispensable contribution to this.

Now, in addition to writing poems occasionally, he writes more stories and topics about the current domestic situation, etc. Because he writes well, most of the content of the magazine is written by him.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Chen is now a well-known figure in the publishing house. With the support of his leaders, he also joined the Jiangliao Provincial Writers Association. Although he did not hold any important position, he broke a small record by joining the Writers Association at the age of 20.

However, Zhou Chen also understood his situation. He would not write anything involving sensitive topics, no matter whether they were good or bad.

Zhou Chen had never imagined that one day he would make a living by writing. If he had known earlier, he would have studied something like literature.

Something was a little strange today. Zhou Chen noticed that there was a lot of noise outside, but he didn't know what was going on.

Li Suhua pushed the door open and Zhou Chen asked, "Mom, what happened outside? Why is there so much noise?"

Li Suhua said, "Didn't the kid from the Tu family kill someone before and get arrested? They said he was going to be shot today, and many people ran over to watch the fun."

"Tu Ziqiang?"

"Yes, it's this young man. You see, he's a good young man with a formal job, but he didn't work hard and instead hung out with those second-rate guys. He even killed someone by mistake. Now, he's going to lose his life."

If something like execution happened decades later, ordinary people would definitely not see it.

But in this era, executions still happen frequently, almost every year.

So even a housewife like Li Suhua was not too surprised by such things, let alone scared.

She just felt it was a pity, because she used to see the adults in Tu Ziqiang's family often, and even Tu Ziqiang, she saw him often.

But in the blink of an eye, such a living person is about to be shot, which is somewhat regrettable.

Zhou Chen also felt emotional. Because of him, Tu Ziqiang naturally had no chance to get involved with Zheng Juan, and Zheng Juan naturally would not have suffered the tragedy like in the TV series.

After coming to this world, he has met Tu Ziqiang many times. He feels that although Tu Ziqiang is a bit rogue, he is definitely not a bad guy.

He didn't know how Tu Ziqiang killed people, but it was definitely related to Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.

In all his years of life, he had never seen such public law enforcement as execution by shooting.

"Mom, I'm going out."

"Kun'er, do you want to go and see it? Mom advises you not to go. You are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see such a scene."

Li Suhua knew that Zhou Chen was going to watch the execution, so she tried to persuade him.

Zhou Chen said: "I'll just take a look from a distance. I can't see anything. Don't worry. I'll leave first."

"go Go."

Li Suhua also knew that she couldn't stop Zhou Chen, so she waved her hand and let him go.

Zhou Chen went out and rode his beloved 28-inch bicycle straight to the execution ground. He had been in Jichun City for three years and had been to many places, so he knew exactly where the execution ground was.

Zhou Chen's speed was not slow, but when he arrived at the execution ground, he found that a large group of people had already surrounded it.

Nowadays, executions are carried out in public, and sometimes people are forced to watch, so naturally there will be a lot of people.

Before the car stopped, Zhou Chen heard a familiar voice. He turned his eyes and found Xiao Guoqing.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao came over pushing their bicycles.

"Kun'er, why are you here? Does your publishing house need someone to come over as well?"

Zhou Chen said: "No, I'm on vacation today. I heard that Tu Ziqiang was going to be executed, so I came to take a look."

Sun Ganchao said, "We were forced to come here, but it's worth it since we don't have to work today."

Zhou Chen asked: "You worked with Tu Ziqiang, do you know how he killed people and why?"

Sun Ganchao said: "I don't know the details, but I heard that Tu Ziqiang seemed to have gotten into trouble while speculating, and then he got into a fight and accidentally killed someone."

Xiao Guoqing added: "We heard this from others, and we don't know whether it's true or not."

Zhou Chen couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. He brought this upon himself.

The law is strict now, and keeping a low profile is the right path, so he hides in the publishing house and never tries to stand out.

The three of them gathered together and chatted. Not long after, the execution began. They were close to the execution ground, but still about two or three hundred meters away. They only heard gunshots, and then the person fell to the ground. They couldn't see anything specific.

This execution made Zhou Chen realize the fragility of life. It is better for people to do good deeds.
