Chapter 202 Return to the Island
"Revenge?" Jiang Tangtang sized up the girl and asked, "You want to go to the battlefield?"
She thought the girl wanted to seek revenge on the South Vietnamese, but unexpectedly the girl shook her head and talked about her own experience.
It turned out that the little girl's name was Wei Jingrou, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Protector. However, her mother fell ill and died when she was three years old. After her mother's death, her father married Qiao.
Qiao was kind-hearted but kind-hearted. She was very kind to her in front of the Grand Protector, but she would torture her behind his back. She also did it in a covert way, so that she could not find any evidence to complain.
She originally thought that she just had to be patient and wait until she grew up.
But a few days ago, the Nanyue people invaded. For the safety of the women in the mansion, the Grand Protector arranged for people to move the women to a safe place.
When she encountered robbers on the way, Qiao deliberately pushed her off a cliff. She had finally managed to save her life, but she knew she couldn't go back because Qiao would kill her in other ways. So she disguised herself as a refugee and blended in with the refugees.
Jiang Tangtang frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, she is just the daughter of the deceased wife. Even if her stepmother hates her, it won’t be to the extent of wanting to kill her!
Just wait a few years and prepare a dowry for her to marry off. The Grand Protectorate is not without money.
Why do you have to kill her?
Wei Jingrou seemed to see through her confusion and whispered, "Qiao is the same age as my mother. They were originally sisters..."
At first, she actually didn't understand why Mrs. Qiao hated her so much. Until one day, she fainted after being tortured by Mrs. Qiao. When she woke up in a daze and heard Mrs. Qiao talking to the maid, she realized that Mrs. Qiao had long admired her father.
But later her father married her mother, and she felt that her mother had snatched her ideal husband away.
Therefore, she hated her mother very much in her heart.
Whenever I look at her face, I feel like I'm seeing her mother. I'm also worried that her father will remember her mother when he sees her. Therefore, I wish she would disappear from this world.
After hearing Wei Jingrou's words, Jiang Tangtang was silent for a long time before asking, "How do you want to take revenge?"
Wei Jingrou's face showed a hatred that didn't belong to a child, "I want Qiao to die miserably!"
Jiang Tangtang added, "If revenge would hurt your father, you wouldn't regret it?"
Wei Jingrou fell silent now, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Jiang Tangtang didn't take it seriously until she got her answer. After all, she was still a child. Maybe because she hated her stepmother, she wanted to take revenge, but when she thought of her father, she softened her heart again.
But she needs to think carefully about how to arrange this child.
Also, I have to tell Lu Shiyan about this.
Jiang Tangtang pursed her lips, asked the servants to take the two away first, and took out paper and pen to write a letter to Lu Shiyan.
However, even after the letter is written, it cannot be sent out immediately.
The carrier pigeons raised by Lu Shiyan flew to the island, and only after they reached the island could they send the letters.
After Jiang Tangtang finished writing the letter, she temporarily put it into her space. Just as she took out the cosmetics notebook and was about to continue reading, cheers rang out outside. Soon, a child ran in excitedly, "Madam, we caught a fish!"
"What a big fish!" A child opened his arms and gestured.
Jiang Tangtang stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a look too."
The harvest this time was indeed not small. In addition to the yellow croaker, hairtail, etc. that we often caught before, we also caught a lot of salmon, tuna, etc. this time.
Apart from picking out a few salmon to keep, intending to put them in the space later and keep them with spiritual spring water, Jiang Tangtang instructed the cook on the ship to cook the rest for the children.
Although they had heard Jiang Tangtang say this before, the children were still shocked when they actually saw the delicious fish being served.
The chef on the boat was quite skilled to begin with, and with the spices Jiang Tangtang had given him, large pieces of fish were placed on a plate, with a bowl next to it filled with white rice.
Many of them are children from poor families. Even during the Chinese New Year at home, they don’t have such good meals!
But now, not only are they given rice to eat, but they also have such delicious fish.
It seems that it is really as the adults said, that God of War Lu and his wife are gods who couldn't bear to see them suffer, so they sent them down to save them!
The children who had previously been hostile to Jiang Tangtang and doubted her intentions now lowered their heads.
These people not only didn't beat or scold them, but also gave them delicious food... What bad intentions could such people have!
After arriving on the island, living in warm rooms, and attending school every day to learn to read and write, the children were filled with gratitude and admiration for Jiang Tangtang. They studied very hard in school, thinking of repaying her.
Looking at the children's appearance, Jiang Tangtang felt quite satisfied.
She spent so much manpower and financial resources not just to do good deeds, but her main purpose was to hope that these children could be used by her and solve her long-term problem of lack of staff.
Jiang Tangtang called the teacher who taught the children over and asked about the children's academic progress.
The teacher on this island was named Zhou, an old scholar. When he was in Lizhou, he fled with his family in a hurry. His son and daughter-in-law died on the way. His only grandson died of a high fever.
This incident was a big blow to him.
When he first arrived on the island, he was completely confused and dazed. It was only after he was arranged to give lectures to the children on the island that he gradually became energetic and spirited.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang, Zhou Tongsheng knelt down immediately and said, "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life!"
Although Jiang Tangtang had to be knelt upon by refugees several times a day after returning to the island, she was still not used to it. She quickly helped Zhou Tongsheng up and said, "Old man, this is unacceptable. Stand up and speak."
Zhou Tongsheng fought back tears and said, "If it weren't for my wife, I would have died long ago!" He only regretted that his sons and grandsons were unlucky and died in that disaster. If only they could be lucky enough to live on the island together, how wonderful it would be.
This island is simply a paradise.
There are no corrupt officials on the island who oppress the people. As long as someone does evil, the soldiers on the island will catch and punish him immediately.
The residents on the island must live a down-to-earth life, and no one should try to steal or get something for nothing.
Besides, many things on the island surprised him.
For example, in addition to him, there are many other people teaching in the school, and residents of the island can come and attend the classes.
The content of the courses was also varied, some taught people how to farm, some taught people how to raise pigs, and even some taught people how to make bricks, which he believed were secret techniques that were not passed down from generation to generation.
The teachers in charge of teaching are also diverse and have all kinds of identities.
This was the first time he had seen such a spectacle in his life. And as far as he knew, all these policies were the work of this lady.
He is truly a man of great talent and a broad mind. Such a person will surely achieve great things in the future.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know Zhou Tongsheng had given her such a high evaluation. After asking Zhou Tongsheng to sit down, she said, "I'm just doing my best to the best of my ability. There's no need for you to do this, old man."
