All of a sudden, Ye Xiaoxian was like possessed by her mother-in-law, dramatically squeezing out a tear. "Please don't mention the word 'perfect'. To be honest, I was abandoned by my own parents when I was young. My mother-in-law adopted me kindly. She wanted me to marry her eldest son, but who knows that he was a short-lived one. My mother-in-law was too poor to afford marry his second son to another woman, so she decided to let me marry him. And the second one was a foolish fellow who never looked at me in the eye, let alone calling me his wife. He only knows to cold shoulder me all the time."

"Huh? Why? Why did he not like you?" asked Liu Qianqian. "You're so good at cooking and does he not like you cooking for him?"

"He does like the dishes I cooked but you know, men always take women for granted. If I didn't cook for him, others would. Just a few days ago, I saw another woman deliver food to him in town!"

"He's too much!" Liu Qianqian thumped the table furiously.

Though she was outraged, once more, Liu Qianqian picked up her spoon and drank another spoonful of porridge with her teeth gritting.

Ye Xiaoxian shed another tear, and then said, "You must have heard from Housekeeper Liu. I'm just a poor commoner with a humble life. I make a living by selling cold jelly on the street, and my husband doesn't care for me at all, but I never thought of abandoning myself. I like cooking. Every time I eat something delicious, I feel how happy people are just living in this world, because one can only live well to eat roast duck, mutton hot pot, palace cuisine, fried liver, fermented soya-bean milk, Shumai, steamed bread of corn… "

Ye Xiaoxian recited a dozen of dishes name in one breath.

Liu Qianqian's appetite seemed to be boosted more. When she drank porridge, she also picked up some cucumber and wooden ear salad as well. "What you said makes sense."

Ye Xiaoxian thought of the those chicken-soup-for-the-soul articles she had read before, and continued, "In fact, one won't die for lovesick. Others may not care for us, but we can't give up ourselves. The more beautifully you live, the more unhappy those who don't like you are, and one day, he will regret his decision! On the contrary, if you give up yourself and make yourself as thin as a bamboo pole, who will like you? Don't' you think?"

Liu Qianqian heard what Ye Xiaoxian said and she was suddenly enlightened by Ye Xiaoxian's words.

"How come I never thought about this before?" said Liu Qianqian.

"It's because you're a rich young lady and you can have everything you want. Once you can't get hold of something, you will feel frustrated. You're not good at enduring frustrations. When you get used to losing things, you will be stronger." Ye Xiaoxian continued to comfort her.

",,," Liu Qianqian's mood became very complicated. She didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, but it was a shame that Ye Xiaoxian, a young peasant woman can come up with such great words while she failed to realize it as a rich lady.

Liu Qianqian suddenly grabbed Ye Xiaoxian's hands and said, "You're not half wrong. I decide to be as strong as you from now on."

"Yes. You need to learn to forget those unhappy stuff, eat properly and doll yourself up. And I'm sure your perfect man will show up in the near future."

After Ye Xiaoxian comforted her, Liu Qianqian seemed to be full of fighting will. She said dec

Ye Xiaoxian was speechless.

No wonder that Miss Liu failed to own the man she wanted, it turned that the man was her cousin-in-law.

She didn't expect to experience such a tacky soap opera.

…

When Ye Xiaoxian came out from Lord Liu's, it was the hottest time of the whole day.

By some chance, she made a detour to pass across the government office.

Xiao Baoshan should be taking a rest under the big tree beside the government office at this moment.

She wondered if she could bump into him, or the girl who delivered food to him last time?

Even if she met Xiao Baoshan, Ye Xiaoxian had no plan of what to do.

She just felt that she could not just give up once she recalled that scene in the river last night.

It was packed under the tree and everyone looked lack of energy. Some were napping and some were chatting sitting in a circle.

Ye Xiaoxian walked around, but she only saw several of Xiao Baoshan's coworkers, but didn't see Xiao Baoshan anywhere and she wondered where he had been.

Since she didn't find Xiao Baoshan, Ye Xiaoxian was going back to the cold jelly stand.

When she passed by a big tree, she suddenly heard a timid female voice. "Brother Baoshan, haven't you…haven't you found that I treat you differently from others?"

Ye Xiaoxian was stunned and couldn't move.

Brother Baoshan?
