Not long after dinner, Sun Bailing received a call that the driver who hit him had woken up and was rushing to the hospital, accompanied by Luo Shicheng and Chen Yuanshan.
Sun Bailing was worried, so before leaving, he sent two guards to stand watch outside the door.
Luo Yan also wanted to go, so she tried the same trick of sticking to Luo Shicheng, but this time none of her tricks worked, and Luo Yan had to give up.
Luo Yan thought to herself that Fang Aihua and Liu Fengling hadn't shown up since Chen Yuanshan took them away, so Fang Aihua probably really had a problem.
However, Fang Aihua, as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, had a high salary and good benefits, so why would she ruin her future? Was she being used by someone?
Just then, the three Mo children came to Hua Li looking uneasy, saying they wanted to go home.
In fact, Hua Li also wanted to go back, but she couldn't refuse his hospitality. Besides, Luo Shicheng had told her to wait for him at the Sun family's house before he left.
Regarding safety issues, Hua Li always listened to advice; she refused to leave when Luo Shicheng told her to wait at the Sun family's house.
Hua Li said after hearing that Mo Yitian wanted to go home.
"It's too late. You can stay here for now and come back with me tomorrow at dawn."
If the three children really didn't want to stay, Sun Bailing couldn't force them, but it was already late, and Hua Li absolutely couldn't agree to let the three children go home in the dark.
Hua Li said he would go back tomorrow, and Mo Yitian stopped insisting.
Mo Shuanghua, who was following behind Mo Yitian, found it strange to see Hua Li guarding Luo Yan like a precious treasure, and Xiao Xiu circling around Luo Yan.
"Auntie, why are you so good to Yan Yan?"
In Mo Shuanghua's world, girls are all worthless; their greatest value is in getting married and exchanging dowries.
As long as Luo Yan's age doesn't starve, that's enough. Why would anyone spoil her by feeding her the best food and dressing her the best clothes, or even having boys fawn over her? Mo Shuanghua really doesn't understand.
Hua Li knew that Wu Cuihua was immoral for leaving her two children in the countryside, but she never thought she was this immoral. She explained to Mo Shuanghua earnestly.
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are precious treasures to their parents. I'm good to my Yan Yan now, and when I'm old, I hope my Yan Yan will be good to me too, right, Yan Yan?"
Luo Yan climbed onto Hua Li's lap, cupped Hua Li's face, and kissed him.
"Hello, Mom. Hello, Yan Yan."
"Oh my, my Yan Yan is so smart."
Hua Li returned Luo Yan's greeting with a sweet smile, making Mo Shuanghua envious.
Wu Cuihua had never kissed her own child, especially since Mo Shuanghua was a girl, which she disliked even more.
Seeing the interaction between Hua Li and her daughter, she realized that girls can also be loved. She envied Luo Yan so much and wished she had a mother like Hua Li.
Aunt Shi brought over the milk. Seeing that the three children of the Mo family were also there, she handed two glasses of milk to Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu, and said to Mo Yitian.
"I've also heated up some milk for you. Should I bring it here or take it to your room?"
Mo Yitian hurriedly said no, but Aunt Shi scolded him playfully.
"It's all heated up, it would be a waste if you didn't drink it."
Mo Yitian had no choice but to take his younger siblings to the kitchen to get milk.
Seeing that Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu were enjoying their milk, Mo Shuanghua went to the kitchen, picked up a glass of milk, and took a small sip. It was fragrant, sweet, and really delicious.
“Brother, I like it here,” Mo Shuanghua said.
There was no beatings or endless work here. Girls and boys were treated equally, and everyone spoke to her kindly. She had no reason not to like it here.
"Big brother, I like it too." Mo Sanshan finished his milk in one gulp and wiped his mouth with his hand in agreement.
Mo Yitian liked it too. He nodded sullenly, finished his milk, washed the cups with his younger siblings and put them back in their place, then went back to the guest room to sleep.
Luo Yan felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Mo Shuanghua asked Hua Li.
She grew up in a world of gender equality, while women of that era had not yet emerged from the feudal patriarchal system. In particular, some women still had their minds bound by outdated ideas, not only living tragic lives themselves but also trying to perpetuate those tragedies, just like Mo Shuanghua. If they did not wake up sooner or later, they would become the next Wu Cuihua.
Luo Yan felt that since she was here, she should do something meaningful. There shouldn't be any American writer like Shafari Sabari in this world, so when she got older, writing "Women's Awakening" and spreading it shouldn't be a big problem.
It's all about breaking free from millennia-old constraints, awakening women from ignorance, and enabling them to live fulfilling lives. Shafari Sabari probably wouldn't blame her.
"Yanyan, it's time to sleep."
Hua Li sat on the bed and called to Luo Yan.
Xiao Xiu has her own room and has already gone back to sleep. Luo Yan climbed into bed and lay down obediently.
In the middle of the night, Luo Yan vaguely sensed movement in her space. She subconsciously went into the space and found Xiao Xiu inside.
Luo Yan woke up immediately, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and realized it was indeed a short nap.
Xiao Xiu found himself in an unfamiliar environment. He stood there nervously, looking around. When he saw Luo Yan, he thought he was dreaming and closed his eyes, hoping to wake up soon.
Luo Yan walked up to Xiao Xiu and pinched Xiao Xiu's cheek. The real touch confirmed to Luo Yan that Xiao Xiu had indeed entered the space.
How did Xiao Xiu get in?
Luo Yan's gaze fell on the jade pendant Xiao Xiu was wearing around her neck, and she suddenly realized what was going on.
Xiao Xiu was injured when she saved her before, so the jade pendant must have been stained with blood and recognized Xiao Xiu as its owner.
But how can two people share a space? What kind of logic is that?
Xiao Xiu felt Luo Yan pinching his face. He opened his eyes and also raised his hand to pinch Luo Yan's face. It felt bouncy and smooth, and it was real.
Seeing that Luo Yan didn't seem scared at all, Xiao Xiu asked her, "Do you know where this is?"
Luo Yan nodded, then suddenly vanished into thin air in front of Xiao Xiu, startling him.
