Chapter 462 Other People's Stories



Sheng An Ning held An An's little hand, but still couldn't help shivering.

Zhong Wenqing, who was walking behind her, felt that she seemed to be cold, and asked with concern: "An Ning, are you wearing too little? It's still a little chilly this morning."

Sheng An Ning quickly shook her head: "It's not cold."

She also wanted to think that it was because the wind was still cool in the morning that she felt freezing cold.

An An saw Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo fighting over a white ball. She giggled and rushed over to grab it.

Zhou Zhou would fight with Mo Mo for the ball to the death, but he was absolutely tolerant of An An and immediately gave the white ball to An An.

This paper-thin leather ball is more fun than their small leather balls, and it makes a "dong dong dong" sound when you hit it.

Sheng An Ning relaxed for a moment, and the biting coldness in her body disappeared. She smiled and wanted to go over to help Zhou Hongyun clean up the water.

Zhou Hongyun waved his hand to refuse, and asked Sheng Anning to stand further away: "Hey, don't get your hands dirty, it stinks. These things taste good, but they are too troublesome to clean up."

Zhong Wenqing also smiled and said, "Yes, An Ning, you can just move a stool and watch on the side. Breakfast will be ready soon. You and Chaoyang can take the children to eat breakfast, and then take them out for a walk."

The three little ones have begun to yearn for the outside world and always want to go out for a walk.

There is also an elephant-trunk slide in the small square. Although it is a bit old, it is still a paradise for children.

Sheng An Ning looked at the greasy pig intestines and felt that she really couldn't do this, so she moved a stool and sat aside to watch the children play, and by the way listened to Zhou Hongyun and Zhong Wenqing talking about gossip in the yard.

Zhong Wenqing rarely chats with people about random things when she goes out, so even though they live in the same courtyard, she knows less than Zhou Hongyun.

Zhou Hongyun went out with the child in her arms, and when she came back she listened to some gossip. Now she was talking to Zhong Wenqing, "I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the first row in front of us almost died from heavy bleeding during childbirth two days ago."

Zhong Wenqing was surprised. "She's already given birth? I said I'd wait until she gave birth to see the doctor for confinement. What about now? Has she been discharged from the hospital?"

Zhou Hongyun shook his head, "She hasn't been discharged yet. I heard that her condition is quite serious. The Zhang family is upset. But it's true. His daughter-in-law is a dancer in the art troupe. She is so skinny that she has to keep in shape even when she is pregnant, for fear that she won't be able to dance anymore. As a result, she has no strength left after giving birth."

It’s a pity to think about it: “Fortunately the child is fine. If there was a problem with the child, the Zhang family would definitely be furious.”

Zhong Wenqing suddenly fell silent, because the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was the same age as Zhou Beiqing, and they used to have a good relationship. When he heard that she had problems giving birth, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Beiqing.

That girl has been away for a year. I don’t know where she is now or whether she is doing well.

Seeing that Zhong Wenqing's men were slow to act, Zhou Hongyun could guess what she was thinking, and quickly advised: "Hey, don't think too much, Bei Qing will definitely be fine, and this child may become sensible after he gets out."

Zhong Wenqing shook his head: "I don't ask her to be sensible, I just want her to live in peace. I've been dreaming recently about them when they were little, and I can't understand why she was such an obedient child when they were little."

He sighed heavily and didn't want to say anything else.

Some people blame Zhou Beiqing for being ignorant, but in fact, it is more my fault for not discovering that my daughter had a problem earlier, allowing her to go further and further down the wrong path.

Zhou Hongyun didn't want Zhong Wenqing to be sad, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, have you heard about Xiao Sun's family? I heard that his wife has hysteria and is looking for someone to see her."

Zhong Wenqing was stunned for a moment: "What hysteria? How come I don't know about it?"

Zhou Hongyun sighed, "She has a miserable life. She got sick before and went crazy after waking up. She talked nonsense every day. Later, she spent a lot of money and went to Shanghai for treatment. She got better for a while, but recently she has been sick again. She sits at the gate and sings in the morning. It's not singing. People say she sings opera, something like Kunqu opera."

Zhong Wenqing was a little surprised: "Kunqu Opera? Isn't his wife from Beijing? She can actually sing Kunqu Opera?"

Zhou Hongyun nodded repeatedly: "Who said it wasn't? And they sing very well. But Xiao Sun said that they have never been to the south. Even when they went to the Great Northern Wilderness to work in the production team, they never met anyone who could sing Kunqu opera there."

Zhong Wenqing found it amazing: "How could such a thing actually happen? That's really strange."

Sheng Anning's attention was also drawn to this, and she listened carefully to their conversation.

She also knew the Xiao Sun they were talking about. He lived not far next door and was a middle-aged man in his forties. Because he was younger than Zhong Wenqing and the others, they always called him Xiao Sun.

I also know that he has a wife who is crazy. It is said that she was traumatized when she was young. Sometimes I would meet her in the courtyard, but when I met her, the woman's eyes were dull, without a trace of light.

When he looks at people, he stares straight ahead, which is a bit creepy.

Sheng An Ning knew that she was sick, so every time she saw her, she would give her a kind smile, and would not hide away like some people did.

After all, she didn't want to be sick.

Now hearing that this sick woman could actually sing Kunqu opera, and she had never been exposed to Kunqu opera before, it was somewhat uncanny.

This made her even more curious.

Seeing Sheng An Ning also leaning over to listen, Zhou Hongyun spoke in more detail: "I ran into him when I went out yesterday morning. He sang really well, and he also walked around. His posture was also very beautiful. Others say that's called the stage walk."

"Isn't that amazing? She didn't know anything before!"

Zhou Hongyun has a good relationship with the Zhou family and they had frequent interactions in the past, so he knows almost everyone in the courtyard.

Sheng An Ning's scalp tingled when she heard this: "So, what does their family mean? Do they want the Taoist priest to take a look?"

Zhou Hongyun nodded: "It should be similar. After all, it is too evil. Some people say that it is the wronged spirit from the past who has taken over her body. If we don't drive it away quickly, she will die."

Zhong Wenqing didn't believe this: "Don't talk nonsense, you are promoting feudal superstition! Xiao Sun's thoughts are both red and professional, he definitely won't believe this."

Sheng Anning asked Zhou Hongyun again: "Aunt, did you really see her singing?"

Zhou Hongyun nodded: "I passed by her house and heard someone singing. I looked into the yard and saw her standing in the yard, walking back and forth and singing."

As he said this, he stood up and imitated the woman's movements in the yard.

As he was speaking, the melodious tune of Kunqu opera suddenly came out, and Zhou Hongyun was so scared that he screamed and sat down on the ground.
