"But the old man of the Zhai family doesn't have any deeper connections, so it's a bit difficult for your uncles in the Zhai family to step forward."
"The old man of the Zhai family and your grandfather have experienced the Anti-Japanese War, the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the civil strife together. They have experienced ups and downs throughout their lives. That is not an ordinary relationship."
"Because they have a good relationship, the two families have always lived together, and I grew up with the Zhai family members."
Mu Lianshen was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Because of this, the positions that your uncles from the Zhai family got at the beginning were more or less related to the Mu family."
"Even now, there are still many official connections between the two families."
Mu Lianshen opened the locked drawer, took out some documents and handed them to Fu Xiao, "These are all the connections between our two families over the past few decades. Take a look."
"With the old man of the Zhai family and your grandfather here, the relationship between our two families will be very close and harmonious."
"Without them, the relationship may change, and there may be less affection, but as long as I am here, the relationship between the two families will not become hostile."
Mu Lianshen stroked her hair gently, "Because they are too involved and cannot be separated. If something happens to our Mu family, how can they remain unscathed..."
"As for the future..." He looked at Fu Xiao with a softer look, "That depends on you, An An."
"If you like them, then just stay with them."
"If you don't like them, then abandon this friend."
Mu Lianshen looked into the distance with an unclear expression, and murmured in a low voice: "Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
Fu Xiao thought for a moment, "Well, I understand."
But she still wondered what was going on between him and Zhai Jiu...
He asked directly, "Why did things become like this between you and Zhai Jiu?"
Logically speaking, friends who grew up together shouldn't be like this.
"Zhai Jiu," Mu Lianshen's eyes flashed with trance, and his voice was flat, "He has a really weird personality. He keeps everything to himself and doesn't say anything. There are many things that he asks, and I will answer them."
"But he didn't ask anything and just started to distance himself from me," Mu Lianshen turned to look at Fu Xiao. His tone was calm, but she could hear depression in it.
"But, even if he distances himself from me, he can't be my enemy because of the relationship between our two families."
"I don't know what he's feeling right now."
"Look at it this way," Mu Lianshen glanced out the window with an unclear expression, "It's not easy for him either."
"When we were young, we didn't get along. It wasn't that we didn't get along in the true sense, but neither of us would give in to the other, and we were always competing with each other secretly or openly."
"Once, we had a big fight, but we didn't think it was a big deal and we thought things would go on as usual. But the old man from the Zhai family and your grandfather, they..."
Fu Xiao asked: "What happened to them?"
"They asked us to apologize to each other solemnly," Mu Lianshen said indifferently, "too solemn. We even prepared apology gifts for each of us."
"What apology gift have you prepared?"
Seeing her curiosity, Mu Lianshen smiled at her, "Zhai Jiu prepared a pen."
Then he picked up the pen on the table and showed it to her, "This is it."
Fu Xiao held his chin up and looked at the pen with interest. It was obvious that Mu Lianshen usually took good care of it. "What about you? What did you give me?"
"A string of Buddhist beads,"
Fu Xiao raised his eyes, "The one he always wears on his wrist?"
Mu Lianshen smiled: "Yes, that's the one."
“Why are you sending this?”
Zhai Jiu doesn't look like a compassionate Buddhist.
"Hmm..." Mu Lianshen smiled in sudden realization, "Because this one has a different meaning, I strung a bead that I have worn since childhood into it. It is said to bring peace."
That was what Yang Cuiping asked for when he was sick as a child. No one knew why she thought it would be useful.
But he has been wearing it since he was a child, and he has never gotten sick again.
It could also be a coincidence, but the little boy Mu Lianshen at that time believed that this was a bead.
When Mr. Mu scolded him, he said, "You two grew up together and are as close as brothers. How could you hurt him?"
He couldn't hear anything else and only remembered the word "injury".
He injured his brother and needed to make amends, so he used the thing he thought was most important.
The protective beads were given to him as compensation, so that he would never get hurt again.
He seemed to be thirteen years old at that time.
He took out all the Buddhist beads in the Mu family's collection, opened them, and found a few that he liked.
Together with the bead he had always been with, they were strung together.
He still remembers that he seemed to be beaten at that time.
Because one of the Buddhist beads he took apart was left by his great-grandmother.
But now that it has been taken apart, the beads are all scattered and there is no way to restore it.
He couldn't really beat Mu Lianshen to death, so no matter how angry Mr. Mu was, Zhai Jiu still wore the Buddhist beads on his hand.
At that time, no one knew that the amulet beads he wore around his neck were also inside.
By the time Yang Cuiping discovered something was wrong, it had already been sent out.
She was also very angry.
Of course, I was angry at Mr. Mu and thought he was making a fuss out of nothing.
Mu Lianshen only now realized that the two old men were using what happened between them in the past.
Alert both families.
Remind them that the relationship between their two families cannot be broken and they must be inseparable good friends.
Time goes back to the present.
Mu Lianshen sometimes feels that.
That string of Buddhist beads became a tool to suppress Zhai Jiu.
Take it off and he would be unrecognizable.
Unlike the Mu family which has a small population, the Zhai family has a large population.
