Shen Shuyu heard a lot about Lin Shitou from Mrs. Wang. When she thought of the skinny appearance of the child, she felt heartbroken just by looking at him.

In the army, there is no need to worry about overeating. Men work hard in the army, and as their family members, having enough food is not a problem.

Children do not have to pay tuition fees when attending the military schools. They only have to pay 50 cents for textbooks each semester. Apart from this 50 cents for textbooks, there are no other fees.

Even so, Lin Hai and his wife refused to let their child go to school. Shen Shuyu really couldn't understand it. "The child has reached the age, but they don't let him go to school. This is unreasonable. Lin Hai is not good to the child, and it will also affect his future. Doesn't he care?"

If a military comrade cannot even handle his family affairs, it will be difficult for him to move up to the next level. Promotion in the military is assessed in all aspects.

"He really doesn't care. As long as he doesn't think about rising, no one can do anything to him. The political commissar of his regiment has contacted him several times, but he won't change at all.

Zhang Honghua's influence was so strong that Lin Hai listened to her in everything. Zhang Honghua's son was pampered by her and her husband. He was fatter than the piglets raised in the army.

Mrs. Wang also has children, and she felt heartbroken when she saw the brother and sister.

As an outsider, she could do nothing but feel distressed. Even the leader couldn't do anything about it, so she was even less able to do anything about it. She kept slapping her thighs when she talked to Shen Shuyu about them as siblings.

Lin Shitou is a child who likes to study. He listens to classes outside the window every day. All the teachers are willing to take care of this child and try to speak louder and slower.

Shen Shuyu wanted to ask him to come into the classroom and sit down, but every time the child found out that she was about to come out, he would run away, and Shen Shuyu didn't even have a chance to talk to him.

Shen Shuyu bought an extra textbook and asked the children in the class to give it to him. When Lin Shitou received the textbook, he was flattered and said, "For... for me?"

"Yes, this is for you. This is a new textbook. Our teacher Shen asked us to give it to you. You don't need to borrow ours anymore since you have your own textbook. Teacher Shen also said that if you don't understand something, you can go to her house and she will teach you.

Do you know where Teacher Shen's house is? It's right next to Zhu Guoqiang's house. Teacher Shen is a very nice person, you don't have to be afraid of her."

Lin Shitou hugged the hard-earned book tightly and said, "I... am not afraid of her."

"You're not afraid of her, why did you run away when you saw her? Teacher Shen wanted to call you into the classroom to attend the class."

After finishing the tasks assigned by Teacher Shen, the children went home in a noisy manner. Only Lin Shitou sat blankly outside the classroom window, tears pouring out like a dam bursting.

He returned home holding the books, cherishing them. His sister was washing clothes in the yard. Three-year-old Lin Niuniu saw her brother shaking off the water on his hands and ran towards him, "Brother, you're back. There are so many books. You're so awesome to have borrowed so many books."

Lin Shitou was obviously happier today than usual. "This isn't borrowed. This was given to me by Teacher Shen at school."

Lin Niuniu was happier than her brother when she heard this. "That's great, brother. You won't have to borrow other people's books now that you have your own. Teacher Shen is such a good person."

"Yes, Teacher Shen is a very good person. When I grow up, I want to be as good as Teacher Shen."

The brother and sister didn't have much time to be happy, because the book was torn up by Lin Yaozu who rushed out, "You are a burden, you don't deserve to have a book. You two brothers and sisters are only worthy of living under my thumb."

Lin Shitou knew that he and his sister were not welcome in this family. No matter how Lin Yaozu scolded them or bullied them, he would never talk back or fight back.

Today Lin Shitou couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to go to school, but they didn't let him go. He accepted it. He could study secretly if he couldn't go to school, and he could borrow books if he didn't have them. He was used to being wronged, and over time he didn't care about his own emotions and chose to tolerate it blindly. But today he didn't want to tolerate it anymore.
