Shen Ning lowered her eyes and earnestly said, "Auntie, in the years when Luo Zheng was not around, if it weren't for your care, I and the two children wouldn't know what to do."
Luo Aixian sighed deeply, "It's all my fault. I was the one who arranged for Zheng's mother to come to your house for the marriage proposal. I never expected that Liu Hongxia would use Zheng's name to pressure your parents into agreeing, and it has delayed your whole life."
Just two days after the young couple got married, Luo Zheng left in anger and never returned. When news of Luo Zheng's death finally reached them, it was a devastating blow to the family.
Shen Ning, at a young age, not only became a widow but also had to figure out how to raise two young children.
Shen Ning said, "Let's not dwell on the past. We still have a long way to go, and we need to make the best of the present."
Luo Aixian looked at Shen Ning in surprise. It had only been two days, but it seemed like she had changed completely.
The old Shen Ning used to be gloomy, pessimistic, and unsociable. She was becoming increasingly isolated and worried that her children would inherit her difficult personality.
But today, hearing Shen Ning speak like this, Luo Aixian felt a sense of relief.
People can change.
Luo Aixian said, "As for Zheng's mother asking to borrow the house, I think it's possible. It's just for a few days..."
Liu Hongxia had just caused a scene here and then went to her house to cause trouble. She insisted on coming here to persuade Shen Ning. She couldn't believe that Shen Ning dared to defy Liu Hongxia. After all, Liu Hongxia was known for exaggerating and twisting the truth to her advantage.
Although she didn't believe it, she had to come.
Shen Ning knew that Luo Aixian was kind-hearted but easily influenced.
In her previous life, Luo Aixian had good intentions but was unable to help her and the children. Later, a series of conflicts and tragedies occurred, leading to the loss of Luo Aixian's life and her son's involvement in seeking revenge, resulting in the family's downfall.
Shen Ning couldn't help but sigh at the events of her previous life. Now that she had been reborn, she was determined to change their fate and lead them towards a brighter future.
She knew Luo Aixian's weakness and gently interrupted her, "It's not possible to lend the house. I can't risk moving out for someone else's wedding and then not getting the house back."
"How could you not get it back? After all, it's Zheng's mother and the children's grandmother. No one would be so heartless."
Shen Ning's face showed a hint of a cold smile, "People's hearts are fickle. It's just a matter of a few words. If I lose the house, who will I turn to for justice?"
Luo Aixian was taken aback once again.
Shen Ning was sharp.
She continued, "Auntie, you've seen how I've managed these years. She didn't have much affection for Zheng, let alone for me and the children. She never came to see the children, and she barely paid any attention to them. Do you think she would show any mercy to me for the sake of the children?"
"Qin Fuyu is her favorite son. She would do anything for him, let alone now that Zheng is gone."
After Shen Ning's analysis, Luo Aixian sighed and said, "When my family was in a bad situation, Liu Hongxia suffered a lot and endured a lot of criticism. Her dislike for the two children is simply because she blames them for Zheng's death. She thinks the children caused Zheng's death. I can understand that. Let's be more understanding."
