"What's wrong?" Seeing her troubled and hesitant expression, Anjie put down her bag and asked in confusion.
She wondered to herself, "Could it be that Ge Meixia and Lao Ding have gotten back together?"
Fortunately, Ge Meixia cleared her throat and said somewhat awkwardly, "Teacher An, have you noticed anything strange about Weidong and Wangshu lately?"
"Something's not right?" An Jie thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "No, did Wei Dong cause trouble again and you found out?"
“No, it’s them…” Ge Meixia hesitated, unsure how to tell him.
"Ugh!" Anjie said impatiently, seeing her stammering. "Just say what you want to say. How can I understand if you're beating around the bush?"
"They seem to be dating!" Ge Meixia gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said resolutely.
"What?!" Anjie was so shocked that she stood up abruptly, then frowned and asked, "How did you know? Did you see it?"
Although she thought highly of the two, she didn't intend for them to get married so soon...
If Jiang Weidong really did something outrageous, An Jie thought through gritted teeth, she wouldn't even need Jiang Defu, she would break his legs herself first!
Ge Meixia nodded, seemingly embarrassed, "It was yesterday afternoon, in the classroom."
Anjie was somewhat incredulous and asked, unwilling to give up, "You saw them kissing?"
Anjie felt a little embarrassed about the last three words, and her voice involuntarily lowered.
"No, no!" Ge Meixia was startled by An Jie's bluntness, her face flushed red, and she waved her hands repeatedly in denial.
"They just hugged, but Wang Shu said something got into her eye, so Wei Dong blew on it for her."
"But I always felt something was off, so I thought it would be better to tell you."
"Okay, I'm done talking. I'm going to class now."
Ge Meixia sat on pins and needles, and after quickly and quietly finishing her story, she hurriedly stood up, grabbed her textbooks and chalk box, and fled the office as if running away.
"Sigh..." Anjie wanted to ask a few more questions, but she didn't expect her to run away so fast, so she could only sit back down.
But she felt much relieved, as long as the two children didn't do anything they shouldn't have.
But then she slapped her thigh in frustration. She should have told Ge Meixia not to gossip. Although she knew Ge Meixia wasn't a gossip, this concerned Wang Shu's reputation, so she had to be careful.
Fortunately, Ge Meixia really didn't have that intention. After listening to An Jie's instructions, she nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would absolutely not say a word about it.
Back home, after much deliberation, Anjie decided to abandon the idea of talking to them.
After all, Wang Shu is a young lady, and she's easily embarrassed. If I were to ask her about such unfounded things again, she would feel awkward.
From then on, Anjie did pay more attention to their interactions. Whenever she saw them in a room together, she had to leave the door wide open to feel at ease.
Because of Lin Wangshu's misunderstanding and emotional outburst, Jiang Weidong figured he had saved up enough money anyway, so he decisively ended his money-making career.
Therefore, when Jiang Defu was about to leave the island for another meeting, Jiang Weidong shamelessly followed him. Fortunately, the pair of lambskin shoes were still there, and he immediately took out his money to buy them.
On Lin Wangshu's birthday, seeing Jiang Weidong's attentive manner, Jiang Defu, who was watching from the side, felt a little jealous.
Back in the bedroom, he said to An Jie, "This kid, I raised him all these years, and he's never been filial to me."
Anjie found it amusing, "I'm a mother myself and I don't care. I carried her for ten months. Why are you being so petty?"
A few days later, Anjie's older brother, Antai, and his family came to visit the island.
Since it was their first visit, Jiang Defu was naturally unwilling to neglect them, so he specially invited Lao Ding to come and keep them company.
At the dinner table, looking at the delicious-looking food in front of him, Old Ding sighed again. He hadn't expected that the landlord's daughter would be so capable.
When will he meet a girl who is capable, educated, and preferably pretty to be his wife?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Jiang Defu with a rather unpleasant feeling. His old friend was really lucky!
But what happened next completely surprised Lao Ding. Whether it was An Jie or Dehua, Jiang Defu could coax them into smiling with just a few words.
Feeling the admiration in Lao Ding's eyes, Jiang Defu was quite pleased with himself. All those years of being a lubricant hadn't been for nothing.
Lin Wangshu returned from outside shortly after, first greeting Jiang Defu, and then hearing Old Ding's kind voice, "Wangshu is back!"
Watching Old Ding leisurely drinking, Lin Wangshu thought of Dehua, who had waited for her for so many years, and couldn't help but snort at him before swinging her braid and going back into the house.
Faced with her attitude, Old Ding couldn't help but chuckle, "This girl, what did I do to offend her? Why is she treating me like this?"
Then he turned to Jiang Defu and said, "Buddy, you've got your wife and sister completely under your thumb, but aren't you going to do anything about your daughter? It's outrageous!"
Jiang Defu smiled as he watched him look embarrassed. "You didn't provoke her, but you did provoke her aunt."
"Wang Shu is close to her aunt, how could she possibly tolerate you? You'll just have to put up with it."
As he spoke, he picked up another peanut and chuckled, "Besides, I can't bear to take care of such a beautiful and considerate girl. Don't even think about using me as a pawn; I'm useless!"
"Besides, my daughter has a bodyguard who protects her all the time, so I wouldn't dare to say anything to her."
Old Ding scoffed, disbelievingly saying, "Are you kidding me? She's just a little girl, how could she have a bodyguard? I don't even have one."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Weidong came in from outside, and his first words to Jiang Defu were, "Dad, have you seen Wangshu?"
Jiang Defu, unfazed, gestured towards the bedroom, then greeted Old Ding before happily heading inside.
Old Ding finally understood, raised his wine glass, shook his head and sighed, "Just wait and see, this girl of yours, I think she'll be even more difficult to deal with than your wife in the future!"
At that moment, Lao Ding had no idea that in the near future, his casual remark would soon become a personal experience.
