Sheng Anning didn't believe it. Getting pregnant before marriage would be morally condemned in this era.
Zhong Wenqing didn't believe it either, and was quite angry: "This is nonsense. It must be the Geng family who is talking nonsense. That family is so ridiculous. The Luo family is really the same."
Although Zhou Hongyun does not live in this circle, because everyone is a relative, he interacts more with the Zhou family and knows all the neighbors, so he knows a lot about what is happening in the compound.
She whispered gossipingly, "Xiao Ran has a brother. I heard that he beat up someone from the Geng family, and the beating was pretty serious. In order to prevent Xiao Ran's brother from getting sued, he wanted to settle the matter privately, and the way to settle it privately was to let Xiao Ran marry him."
Sheng An Ning was shocked when she heard this. It was already this time and yet such a thing still existed.
"Then Xiao Ran agreed?"
Zhou Hongyun nodded: "What can we do if she doesn't agree? Her mother favors boys over girls, and the son is her life. If she doesn't marry, she will be the sinner of the family. Besides, the Geng family has been very popular in the past two years, and they have a bright future."
Zhong Wenqing looked down on the Geng family: "What good is a family that can only scheme?"
Sheng Anning wondered if Luo Anran would not marry Zhou Luancheng if she knew that he was still alive.
But I can’t tell anyone that Zhou Luancheng is still alive.
She shed tears for this ill-fated couple. Perhaps because of some reference, she felt that Zhou Luancheng and Luo Anran were even more miserable than her and Zhou Shixun.
The huge rock that had been weighing on my heart was suddenly lifted away, and I felt like my breathing became much smoother.
To Sheng An Ning's surprise, Luo Anran actually came in the evening, carrying eggs, brown sugar and two pieces of red cloth.
Zhong Wenqing thought that they were all young people, so he went upstairs to ask Sheng An Ning if she wanted to meet Luo Anran.
Of course Sheng An Ning wanted to meet her. She had always been curious about this girl named Xiao Ran. She changed her clothes, put on her hat, and went to the next room to meet Luo Anran.
A very quiet and pretty girl, with a thick black braid falling diagonally on her shoulders.
When Sheng An Ning heard Zhou Chaoyang's description before, she always felt that Luo Anran was a very talented and bright girl, and she had a fixed image of her in her mind for a long time.
Now that I see the real person, he seems a lot more ordinary.
Luo Anran stood up and smiled at Sheng Anning: "I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but I didn't have the time before the New Year."
Sheng An Ning smiled and asked her to sit down: "It's okay, I just arrived and I don't know anyone. I'm very happy that you can come to see me."
My heart was scratching like a cat, and I wanted to ask Luo Anran whether she was willing to marry into the Geng family. If not, I could fight back.
But seeing that there was no particularly sad look in Luo Anran's eyes, she didn't want to say anything careless.
The two of them exchanged a few dry polite words, then sat down in silence, not knowing what to say.
Luo Anran spoke first: "I'm getting married on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so I won't invite you to the banquet. You're still in confinement and can't go out."
Sheng Anning then continued to ask: "Are you really going to get married?"
Luo Anran nodded: "Well, I'm already twenty-seven, I'm an old girl."
Sheng An Ning couldn't help but said, "Then... can you really forget Zhou Luancheng?"
Luo Anran was stunned for a moment: "Maybe our fate is limited, and I can't wait like this forever. I have been waiting for him for three years."
Then he smiled and said, "Do you all think that I might have been forced to marry Geng Aiguo? No, he is a good guy too."
Now that things have come to this, what else can Sheng An Ning say? She can only wish Luo Anran happiness.
After Luo Anran left, Zhong Wenqing was melancholy for a while, and discussed with Zhou Nanguang: "Xiao Ran is getting married, and it's a bit awkward for us to go to the banquet. I'll go over the day after tomorrow to give Xiao Ran a red envelope."
They felt uncomfortable because their daughter-in-law, whom they had always had high hopes for, was suddenly getting married.
Zhou Nanguang agreed: "Put more red envelopes."
Zhong Wenqing thought of Zhou Luancheng and was a little absent-minded: "Why hasn't Luancheng come back yet? His wife is gone."
Early in the morning on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the courtyard, from the main gate all the way to the Geng family's home a few rows behind the Zhou family.
The three little kids were sleeping soundly without being affected at all.
Sheng An Ning got up curiously and looked out the window. She could see the dense procession of bridesmaids. The Geng family's wedding was quite lively, but they deliberately set off a few more firecrackers at the Zhou family, which seemed a bit like bullying.
Zhou Hongyun also came over to watch, and cursed angrily: "What are these people thinking? They are getting married, so what's the matter with setting off firecrackers at our door? It's so shameless. They just want us to see. To put it bluntly, Luo Anran is not a princess. How can marrying her bring honor to their family?"
Sheng An Ning also felt that the Geng family had gone too far. After all, Zhou Luancheng had sacrificed himself for the outside world, and they were still so petty as to provoke the Zhou family. They were such bastards.
Zhong Wenqing was very calm: "Don't pay attention to them. I see that Xiaoyi has been drinking milk powder for a day longer than yesterday, and Xiaoer doesn't drink milk well. Is he feeling uncomfortable? Our little An'an is obedient and eats and sleeps, trying to catch up with his brothers."
Because Sheng An Ning insisted that Zhou Shixun come back to name the children, the three children had no full names or nicknames. Since there were marks on their foreheads, they were called the younger one and the younger one.
The only little girl, Zhong Wenqing, insisted on calling her An An, hoping that Zhou Shixun would return safely and have the word "An" in Sheng An Ning's name.
No one in the family had any objection, and the little ones just cried peacefully.
After Zhong Wenqing said this, Zhou Hongyun also hurried over and looked at the three children lying side by side: "I see that Xiao Er is growing faster, and An An has also grown a lot. Look at this little girl, she looks exactly like An Ning, and she will be a little beauty in the future."
Sheng An Ning was happy and walked over slowly. She couldn't tell how the little girl looked like her, but the three little ones had grown up a lot and their faces were not so wrinkled anymore.
Because I always wiped my face gently with soft gauze, the mark on my forehead is still there, but the color has become lighter.
But thanks to the mark, she often couldn't tell which of her two sons was the eldest and which was the second, because they looked exactly the same.
Watching silently, I suddenly felt that both of my sons looked very much like Zhou Shixun.
Thinking of Zhou Shixun, he felt depressed and uncomfortable again. He turned back and continued to lie down.
Zhou Hongyun glanced at Sheng Anning and quickly changed the subject: "Why didn't I see your elder brother today? What has your elder brother been busy with these two days?"
