The news that Granny Chen was going to find a partner for her son spread like wildfire across the island.
Her son was a second lieutenant, which was not bad, but with a mother-in-law like Granny Chen, no one on the island wanted to arrange a marriage with his family.
People even said behind her back that with her around, Lieutenant Yan would never be able to find a wife in his lifetime.
Granny Chen was furious about this and became even more determined to find her son a perfect match to shut everyone up.
Because she needed to provide nutrition for the newborn piglets, Xiang Wanwan spent her days going to the beach and fishing with Wang Sao.
Get some small fish and shrimp, cook them, and mix them with sweet potatoes to feed them.
They usually go beachcombing in the morning. On this particular morning, they had just arrived at the beach when they ran into Xiang Shuxue and her daughter Li Jinglan.
It seems they're running out of food and have been forced to come to the beach.
They saw Xiang Wanwan, but neither of them greeted her.
Until Xiang Wanwan found something in her bucket, the two pounced on it like dogs smelling food.
Li Jinglan smiled broadly: "Wanwan, you see, we've just arrived on the island and haven't been to the beach before. Could you teach us?"
"Or could you share some of the stuff in your bucket with us, so your dad can have a taste of meat?"
"You have no idea, your dad has already lost a lot of weight since he arrived so recently."
As she spoke, her face showed heartache for her scumbag father, and her eyes were slightly red.
Xiang Shuxue, standing to the side, remained expressionless, but her eyes revealed a hint of resentment.
I guess he's not willing to back down to her.
Xiang Wanwan glanced at the two people in front of her, a slight smile playing on her lips. "No."
"What does it matter to me whether he's thin or not?"
"The stuff in this bucket is for feeding the pigs. What? Are you pigs?"
Li Jinglan's face was pale.
Xiang Shuxue, who was standing next to her, angrily retorted, "Xiang Wanwan, do you have any conscience at all?"
"There's so much on the beach, you can pick up more. You can't even bear to part with this little bit!"
"Are you just going to watch your father starve to death?"
Perhaps because Lu Jingnian wasn't there, Xiang Shuxue didn't want to flatter her anymore, so she simply stopped pretending and started to fight back.
This is when the beach is most crowded.
Hearing their argument, everyone came over to watch the commotion.
"These two must be Comrade Xiang's stepmother and stepsister!"
“My stepmother is so young, she must have had a good life before. This girl is also beautiful, with such fair skin, unlike the girls on our island.”
"However, I still think Comrade Xiang is better looking!"
Hearing the previous sentence, Xiang Shuxue's face darkened the next second.
Just as she was about to snatch the bucket from Xiang Wanwan's hand, Xiang Wanwan immediately took Xiang Shuxue's hand with a concerned expression and said:
"Oh dear, little sister, you should have said so earlier if you didn't have anything to eat! We're sisters, how could I abandon you and Dad!"
"Dad is the new principal of the military academy, and you're a teacher there too. We can't let you go hungry!"
After saying that, she poured all the seafood from her bucket into Xiang Shuxue and the others' buckets.
Li Jinglan and Xiang Shuxue were completely bewildered by her sudden change.
"Xiang Wanwan, what tricks are you up to now?"
Xiang Shuxue looked puzzled and shook off Xiang Wanwan's hand.
"Sister, what tricks could I possibly pull? I just feel sorry for you and for Dad!"
"You're in your mid-twenties and still not married, you really need to find a good man."
"I can't live with Dad forever!"
Xiang Wanwan continued to persuade him earnestly, appearing every bit the kind and understanding older sister.
Everyone around praised Xiang Wanwan's actions.
"The commander's wife is so kind-hearted, treating her stepmother and stepsister so well!"
