Sheng Anning was a little embarrassed: "Her paintings are at Mr. Pei's house, and I heard from Mr. Pei that she got angry at home and tore up and threw away everything."
Then he looked at Pei Nuo again: "Xiao Nuo, do you want to draw? Shall we draw together?"
Pei Nuo did not react, and his expression did not show any resistance.
Sheng An Ning took the initiative to prepare paints, brushes and paper, and found an unused easel from the storage room, which was prepared by Zhou Chaoyang a few years ago when he wanted to learn painting.
When these things were placed in front of Pei Nuo, Pei Nuo's eyes lit up, his attention was drawn to them, and he slowly stood up and walked to the easel.
After a moment's pause, he picked up the brush and started drawing without using a pencil to draw the lines.
At first it was a disorganized graffiti that looked like a mess, and the colors were too bold and exaggerated in many places.
Sheng Anning and Sheng Mingyuan stood not far away and watched quietly, no one disturbed her.
The messy canvas suddenly had some boundaries. The sea water in the distance was dark and deep blue, with no end in sight. The waves nearby gradually became clearer, transparent and light blue, but full of tension.
There are also a few reefs standing sharply in the corners.
The colors become more distinct.
Sheng An Ning looked at it quietly. This painting was the same as the one he saw at Pei’s house last time. The location of the reef and the color of the waves were exactly the same.
Only this time, she actually saw sadness in the painting.
It was obviously a very simple painting, but it was wrapped in a deep sadness, which surprised Sheng An Ning. She turned her head and looked at Sheng Mingyuan.
Obviously, Sheng Mingyuan also had the same feeling. At this moment, he frowned and stared at the painting drawn by Pei Nuo.
Pei Nuo put down the last stroke, put down the brush, and stared at the painting quietly, motionless, as if he was looking for something he was dissatisfied with.
Sheng Anning approached Sheng Mingyuan and talked in a voice that they could both hear: "Dad, do you think it is possible that the place where Pei Nuo painted was where she had seen it before, so she would paint it over and over again."
For example, she used to paint bamboo every day because the town where she lived was full of bamboo.
Sheng Mingyuan nodded: "That should be the case. If you don't have an impression and have never seen the sea, you can't draw such realistic waves and the reefs beside the waves."
This painting obviously only shows a part of the beach and does not show an ordinary beach.
There are huge waves rolling on the seashore, and reefs are exposed. The reefs are rugged and hidden in a corner, like a huge mouth of the abyss, as if they can swallow lives at any time.
Sheng Mingyuan also somewhat believed Sheng An Ning's speculation. Is Zhu Zhu's soul hidden deep in Pei Nuo's soul?
If I wanted to solve the mystery, I just had to take a photo of the painting and send it to Sheng Chengan for confirmation. I briefly told Sheng An Ning about my thoughts.
Sheng Anning agreed: "I think so too. I won't tell my brother the details yet. If he is familiar with the photo, he will definitely come back."
At noon, Mr. Pei came to take Pei Nuo away, but Pei Nuo still refused to leave. This time his actions were more obvious. He held the armrest of the sofa tightly and refused to let go.
Mrs. Pei came with Mr. Pei. Seeing Pei Nuo refusing to go home, she got angry and said, "What's going on? Have you learned not to go home? Pei Nuo, get up and come home with me."
Pei Nuo's shoulders shrank like a shrimp and he hugged tighter.
Zhong Wenqing wanted to persuade Madam Pei to be gentler, but that was someone else's daughter, and she had no right to stop others from educating the child. She could only hold An An's hand and watch from the side, frowning from time to time.
Mr. Pei felt embarrassed and looked at his wife: "Don't scare Xiaonuo. You see, she has changed a lot in the past two days. She knows how to express what she wants. This is a good thing. We should be more patient."
Mrs. Pei was a little unhappy: "Don't I have patience with her? I coax her every day, but look, how long has she known him? She doesn't even want to go home? What does she mean? Does she want to tell others with her actions that we are abusing her?"
Old Pei frowned and said, "Don't say that. If you have anything to say, go home and talk slowly. It's rare for Xiao Nuo to have some reaction. We should be happy."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she did, it was like Mrs. Pei's heart exploded, and she instantly collapsed and yelled, "What do you mean by going home and telling it? Are you afraid of being embarrassed? For so many years, I have been patient and tolerant, and even let my own parents take care of her, and what did I get in return? You actually want to leave the only house in the family to her. Aren't my two daughters human beings?"
"Pei Haishan, you are awesome! How come I didn't know you were so infatuated with that dead woman that you not only raised her daughter but also left the house to this idiot. No, I doubt if this child was born to you and that woman."
Mrs. Pei's words exploded like a bomb. Sheng An Ning and Zhong Wenqing could not have imagined that Pei Nuo was not the daughter of Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei.
Sheng Mingyuan was also surprised, but it was not a good idea for him to go over to stop the fight. He was also afraid of scaring the four children, so he quickly called Zhou Zhou and An An to go upstairs together.
Zhou Hongyun also hurriedly helped to take the children upstairs, exclaiming in his heart, what a sin, there actually is such a secret.
Pei Lao's face had turned the color of liver, and he had to hide his shame and anger: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you making trouble in someone else's house? I said this is not my child, why don't you believe it?"
Madam Pei sneered, "I believed it before. When you brought her back, you said that her mother went to collect samples and fell into the river and drowned. You said that you brought her back just because you felt sorry for her, and I believed it too. Even if I don't like her, I let my parents take care of her wholeheartedly."
"But what about you? Pei Haishan, what did you do? You left the only house to her. Why? The eldest daughter's family of three is still living with her parents-in-law, and the second daughter doesn't even have a formal job. You never care about it. They are all your own daughters!"
"And you, you put all your attention on this idiot, how can I not be suspicious?"
Pei Lao's face was dark: "Okay, let's go back first."
But he regretted in his heart that he should not have mentioned to his wife in the morning that he wanted to leave the only small courtyard in his home to Pei Nuo after a hundred years.
When he brought it up, Mrs. Pei was already furious. She made a fuss at home for a long time and insisted on coming together to pick up Pei Nuo.
Who would have thought that after she came, she would cause such a scene without caring about her dignity.
Sheng An Ning was even more shocked. Pei Nuo's mother fell into the river and drowned. So, was it because Pei Nuo had seen his mother's body rotting, so he had a deep memory of the smell?
Before Mr. Pei could speak again, Pei Nuo suddenly stood up and pushed Madam Pei like crazy, so fast that no one could react.
