Dehua couldn't stand that all of An's relatives were joining the army while her Jiang family relatives weren't getting any benefits. She remembered her second aunt, who was relatively close to her family, and asked Siyang to write her a letter.
After receiving the letter, Aunt Er immediately brought her family and her granddaughter Yanfeng, intending to have Jiang Defu arrange for her to join the army as well.
Who knew that Yan Feng was not only illiterate, but also didn't know the difference between men and women, and was also over the age limit. Jiang Defu was very worried and could only arrange for her to work at the island's service center.
Yan Feng was not talkative, but she was honest and knew how to be grateful. Whenever she had free time, she would come to the Jiang family to help with housework. Lin Wangshu didn't want her to go back to the countryside after all the hard work of leaving, because she couldn't read. So she offered to teach her to read.
Yan Feng was naturally more than willing, so sometimes she would come to the Jiang family to find Lin Wangshu, and sometimes Lin Wangshu would go to the service center to find her.
That day, Lin Wangshu came to the service center. Yan Feng was delighted to see her and pulled her to sit down in front of the counter. She gave her a handful of melon seeds and then took out a notebook for her to look at.
Yan Feng already knows how to write some characters, so Lin Wangshu asked her to write a diary entry every day, marking any characters she didn't know with an ○, and then Lin Wangshu would teach her.
Lin Wangshu looked at the notebook for a while, circled the mistakes Yan Feng made with a red pen, and filled in the ones she didn't know. Seeing Yan Feng's serious expression, Lin Wangshu smiled and encouraged her, "Sister Yan Feng, you're already very good. In a while, you'll be able to write a whole diary entry on your own."
Yan Feng was very grateful to Lin Wangshu. She didn't look down on her and even taught her to read. During the time Yan Feng had been away, she had fully realized the importance of knowledge.
"Xiao Shu, you're so good to me. Not only are you beautiful, but you're also so kind-hearted. The man who marries you will be so lucky."
Lin Wangshu waved her hand awkwardly after being praised, "I'm just learning from my mother. She's a teacher, and she educates and nurtures people."
Yan Feng nodded: "Your mother is a good person too. She's beautiful, much prettier than that Zhang Guilan."
Only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had said the wrong thing and that he couldn't speak up for Zhang Guilan, so he quickly covered his mouth.
Lin Wangshu smiled knowingly. "It's alright, I know her. She's my dad's ex-wife. What kind of person is she?"
Yan Feng curled her lip, looking down on her. "She's not as good as your mother. Not only is she not as good-looking, but she's also not a good person. She doesn't live up to the virtues of a wife."
Seeing that she seemed to know about Zhang Guilan and Jiang Defu's second brother, Lin Wangshu couldn't help but feel curious. So she pretended not to understand and said, "Since she and my father have separated, they are now separate people. Her remarriage is not considered unchaste."
Yan Feng shook her head vigorously, "It's not because of that." As she spoke, she had already forgotten her grandmother's instructions. She lowered her voice and said, "Because she had a son with your father's second brother... his name is Changyi!"
Seeing that Lin Wangshu seemed somewhat skeptical, she said anxiously, "It's true! My grandmother encountered it back then and even calculated the auspicious date!"
Lin Wangshu then pretended to be so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Yan Feng was a little scared after she finished speaking. She grabbed Lin Wangshu's hand and said, "Don't tell anyone. My grandma will beat me to death if she finds out."
Lin Wangshu smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry, my dad is very shrewd. He probably already knew, so there was no need for him to tell me."
Yan Feng was relieved. Just then, someone from the service center arrived, and she stood up to greet them. Lin Wangshu looked up and realized that it was someone she knew.
The people who came were Ge Hongbing and Liang Ping. Lin Wangshu was curious about how these two had gotten together.
Ge Hongbing was seen supporting Liang Ping with every move, while Liang Ping casually looked around at the service store's items, his face showing great impatience. However, when they arrived at the counter and saw Lin Wangshu sitting there, Liang Ping's impatience vanished instantly, and he beamed with joy.
"Hey! Comrade, what a coincidence that we meet again from afar! Now you can finally tell me your name, right?"
Seeing two annoying people hanging out together filled Lin Wangshu with disgust. He spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells and said slowly, "Isn't this Comrade Liang? You've found your father?"
Liang Ping's face immediately turned ashen. He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "You little bitch, don't push your luck. I think it's your good fortune to know you."
Although Ge Hongbing didn't know how Liang Ping knew Lin Wangshu, he quickly went up to persuade Liang Ping when he saw that Liang Ping was angry: "Comrade Liang, don't be angry. This is Commander Jiang's daughter on our island, named Lin Wangshu. She has always spoken like this since she was a child. Don't take it to heart."
Then he arrogantly said to Lin Wangshu, "Lin Wangshu, Comrade Liang's father is Deputy Political Commissar Liang of the military region. He came to the island for inspection. Aren't you going to apologize to Comrade Liang?"
Liang Ping stood up straight, looking down at Lin Wang with an air of superiority, waiting for him to feel comfortable and soft.
Lin Wangshu sneered, stood up and said loudly, "What did I do? Did I hit him or curse him? On the contrary, he harassed me first and then cursed me. Or is it because his father is the deputy political commissar of the military region that he will retaliate against my father for personal gain if I don't apologize? What do you take Comrade Liang Ping for? Gao Yanei from ancient times? If so, then I will apologize."
Ge Hongbing was dumbfounded. Was that what he meant?
People who came to buy things also gathered around and pointed at the two of them.
"Isn't this bullying? If Commander Jiang's daughter can be bullied like this, what about us?"
"Oh dear, his father is a high-ranking official; he's in charge of Commander Jiang!"
"So what if someone is a high-ranking official? This is a new society now. How dare you bully people like this?"
