"Look, this is what your mother gave to your aunt. Do you recognize this bracelet?"
Zhou Lian recognized the bracelet, and she believed Lin Xinlan's words.
The little girl's eyes turned red in an instant. She pointed at the bracelet, opened her mouth, and cried out 'ah ah,' but couldn't say a word.
Lin Xinlan guessed her meaning: "Do you want it?"
She shook her head, still pointing at the bracelet, crying even harder.
"Are you asking where your mother is?"
She nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with tears and hopeful as she looked at her.
Lin Xinlan pulled her close and hugged her, whispering, "Your mother has gone to a faraway place, a place without pain, and she is very happy there. You will understand when you grow up. For now, do you want to go with your aunt? I will take you to a place to live where someone will take care of you. When your brother Zhou Xi comes back, he will take you home."
