Chapter 481 The Definition of Happiness

Ling Xiaolei noticed that Zhang Ning's eyes were always on this book, so he simply took the book out and let Zhang Ning read it.

Zhang Ning was surprised for a moment, then greedily opened the book.

This was a world he had never been exposed to. He only accepted knowledge from books and had never done such a luxury as buying extra books.

Even though Zhang Debiao was so rich, he never met any of Zhang Ning's requests. But in the eyes of others, he loved Zhang Ning to the core.

"And these are my private collection of comic books. You can read them secretly." As he spoke, Ling Xiaolei took out his treasured collection of all the "Doraemon" books for Zhang Ning.

"Doraemon!? Is that the Doraemon cat with a pocket of treasures?" Zhang Ning was deeply moved. He felt that it was the right decision for him to come to Ling Xiaolei's house this time.

"Yes, it's that Doraemon. I've always wanted to have a treasure pocket like this. Now, I have my own treasure pocket, and it's also our family's treasure pocket."

"That's Mom."

When mentioning Li Luo, the corners of Ling Xiaolei's mouth turned up, and Zhang Ning also thought of Xu Qingqing.

Perhaps to Zhang Ning, Xu Qingqing was not a good mother, but when he needed her most, it was Xu Qingqing who stayed by his side and helped him through those sad days.

Xu Qingqing never complained about her life to herself, and she would not even say that her divorce from Zhang Debiao was all because of Zhang Ning.

Many children in the class would quarrel because of the bad relationship between their parents, and the parents would blame the children. That day when he came home from school, he saw Erya's mother holding a rolling pin and chasing Erya around the street, muttering as she ran: "If I had given birth to a boy, your father wouldn't have beaten us all day long!"

Zhang Ning felt upset. Was he the same in his mother's eyes? Was he so bad that caused his parents to divorce?

So when facing Xu Qingqing, Zhang Ning was always afraid that Xu Qingqing would say: "If it weren't for you, your father and I would have divorced long ago."

He couldn't imagine how sad Xu Qingqing must have been when she said those words to him with that cold look in her eyes, even though he knew that his mother was no less sad than he was.

"Xiao Mao, your family is so happy." Zhang Ning forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

"What are you talking about, Zhang Ning? Aunt Qingqing loves you too! When Aunt Qingqing was selling clothes in town, she said she would buy you new clothes when she made money."

"When Aunt Qingqing divorced Uncle Zhang, she was afraid that she couldn't support you, so she asked mom to find her a job."

Zhang Ning was stunned. He had never thought that his mother would go through such suffering. If Ling Xiaolei hadn't said this, he would even still have hatred for his parents' divorce.

But now, he doesn't hate her anymore, and he doesn't need to feel inferior. He has a mother who loves him so much, so why should he feel inferior? Arya's parents are both around, but neither of them loves her. Compared with Arya, isn't he a happy child?
"Xiao Mao, what do you think happiness is? Why do adults always say that they are unfortunate?" Zhang Ning was lying on the bed and suddenly sighed.

"Happiness, happiness is when after school, my mother prepared a table full of delicious food, my sister quietly handed me a lollipop after dinner, and my brother taught me how to solve a problem that I could never solve myself..."
