Mu Xiaowan sat down on the armchair carelessly, and after a moment of silence, she laughed: "You think I'm too fragile. I'm not that easily hit. And after so many years, there's just one thing I can't figure out. Why could my mother be so cruel to choose to commit suicide?"
"I was only six years old, and she didn't think about what would happen if I lost my mother?"
Sheng An Ning looked at Mu Xiaowan, whose eyes flashed with confusion, and thought for a moment: "People are actually afraid of death, but when they choose to commit suicide, they don't think about anything at all at that moment."
In that era, people’s thinking was feudal, and after being raped, they had no courage to live anymore.
Mu Xiaowan scratched her hair and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's all in the past. I'm grown up now. I don't need the love of a father or a mother now."
After saying this stubbornly, he stood up and walked around the room, took out a wooden box from the carved rosewood cabinet, and handed it to Sheng An Ning: "I wanted to give it to you last time. This is a small bracelet I carved for my three children. Take a look."
Sheng An Ning opened it curiously and saw three pairs of small bracelets carved from rosewood. The thin bracelets were carved with patterns, and a circle of lifelike peach branches was wrapped around the bracelets, with peaches hidden among the branches and leaves. It didn't look clumsy at all, but rather extremely dexterous.
Somewhat surprised: "Did you carve this? You can actually do this?"
Mu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Yes, my grandfather is even better. I only learned a little when I was a child, and then I started to study carving to kill time. After a while, I became good at it. All the fake things in this room were made by me."
After that, he pointed at the bracelet seriously and said, "This is real. This is authentic red sandalwood. If you can't wear it, you can keep it as a toy."
Sheng An Ning studied it for a while, and the more she looked at it, the more exquisite it became: "Your gift is really precious."
The finest rosewood is more valuable than gold, not to mention the exquisite carvings on it.
Mu Xiaowan didn't care: "These are all left to me by my grandfather. They are of no use to me."
Sheng An Ning closed the wooden box and asked Mu Xiao Wan curiously, "Have you ever been an educated youth in the countryside?"
Mu Xiaowan was surprised: "Of course I went. I went for two years, but I was too young, so they asked me to go back to the city. After I came back, they couldn't arrange a job for me, so I studied with a grandfather."
Sheng An Ning chatted with Mu Xiaowan for a while, helped her clean the room, and then went home with the wooden box.
After returning home, he showed the rosewood bracelet carved by Mu Xiaowan to Zhong Wenqing and the others.
Zhong Wenqing couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he took it: "This girl is so skillful. Look at this little peach, it looks just like the real thing."
Zhou Hongyun also thought it looked nice and put it on An An's hand.
Because Mu Xiaowan didn't know how thin a child's wrist was, she carved it a little bigger so that it could be easily worn by the little girl.
An An felt something on her wrist. She looked at it curiously at first, and then couldn't help but start exploring it with her little mouth and starting to chew on it.
Zhong Wenqing smiled and said, "We can't let them wear such a good thing. The patterns on it will be eaten away in two days."
After Sheng An Ning put the bracelet away, Zhong Wenqing asked with concern: "Xiao Wan went back, no one caused trouble, right?"
Sheng Anning recounted the story of Zhang Baojiang's son's troublemaking: "It's okay. Luancheng's threats are still effective. They definitely don't dare to cause trouble for Xiaowan recently."
Zhong Wenqing kept shouting, "What a sin! You are such a good girl, why is your life so miserable? Can't you just live a peaceful life?"
Zhou Hongyun was giving advice: "I think Xiao Wan is really good. Let's talk to Luancheng later. If the two of them like each other, it would be great if she came to our house."
Zhong Wenqing was willing, "I also like Xiao Wan, but what does Luan Cheng think? I don't think he has any interest in Xiao Wan. He is only helping Xiao Wan because he is asked to do so. I'm afraid he still has Xiao Ran in his heart."
After saying that, he sighed heavily.
You know your own son very well.
Zhou Luancheng is a sentimental person. It is definitely impossible to let him go completely and pretend that nothing had happened.
Sheng An Ning also felt the same way. After all, it was a relationship that started when they were young, so how could it be forgotten just like that?
But Zhou Luancheng did a very good job.
Zhou Hongyun suddenly remembered the gossip she heard in the hospital: "I heard that Geng Aiguo and Xiao Ran are getting divorced recently, and Geng Aiguo's mother Wang Suyun also supports it because Xiao Ran can't have children."
Zhong Wenqing was quite surprised: "Is it true?"
Zhou Hongyun nodded repeatedly: "I think it's probably true. They have been married for more than half a year, and there is still no movement. Wang Suyun doesn't like Xiao Ran in the first place, so she will definitely not agree now."
Zhong Wenqing frowned: "Then we can't really get divorced, right? If we get divorced..."
Even without saying what came after that, everyone could understand whether Luo Anran and Zhou Luancheng would get back together if they got divorced.
Sheng An Ning felt that the possibility was not high. It was not because she disliked Luo Anran's divorced status, but because they were from the same compound, and it would be so awkward to meet in the future.
Zhou Hongyun was more conservative: "Impossible. We are all grown men in Luancheng. If you don't want a good young girl, marrying a divorced girl, wouldn't that make people laugh? And she can't have children, so you definitely can't have her."
Still worried, he reminded Zhong Wenqing: "Sister-in-law, you must take care of this matter. I know that you and my brother are open-minded, but this is not okay."
Zhong Wenqing was also unhappy. He used to like Luo Anran very much, but that was in the past. Things are different now.
He also felt that Luo Anran, who had been married once, was not worthy of his son.
Sheng An Ning saw that the two people were suddenly worried about something that hadn't happened yet, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You think too much, I don't think Luancheng will agree, don't worry."
Zhou Hongyun couldn't help but mutter, "A hero can't stand being pestered. If Luancheng turns around and sympathizes with Xiaoran's experience, the two of them will definitely become what's the word? What's the word? What's the word? "
Sheng An Ning smiled: "Resurrection, don't worry, it's impossible."
Zhong Wenqing said nothing, but he felt worried.
Within two days, the news of Geng Aiguo and Luo Anran's divorce spread throughout the compound.
Many people think that it must be because Zhou Luancheng has returned that Luo Anran has changed his mind.
Besides, divorce is not friendly to women in the first place, and it would be even more unpleasant if the news got out.
By the time Zhou Luancheng found out, Luo Anran had already been beaten into the hospital by Geng Aiguo.
