Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

When Deputy Political Commissar Liang returned, he was furious and berated Liang Ping and her son, ordering them to pack their things and leave immediately.

Liang Ping was so scolded that he didn't dare to say a word. Liang's mother was both anxious and angry, and didn't want to stay on Songshan Island for another second.

After returning home, Liang Ping dared not make a scene in front of Deputy Political Commissar Liang, but he went on a complete hunger strike, staying in the house without eating or drinking. When Liang's mother saw him like this, she held his hand and tears streamed down her face.

Seeing that Liang Ping had become noticeably thinner from hunger, Liang's mother had no choice but to call the Jiang family and ask Lin Wangshu to help persuade him. Lin Wangshu, upon hearing that a grown man was going on a hunger strike for love, found it absurd and laughable, and her disdain for him only deepened.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I don't like him, and this dragging on isn't good for either of us."

Liang's mother was furious on the other end of the phone. "How can you be so heartless? My son did all this for you, you vixen! You seduced him and ruined him like this, and now you won't even lie to him?"

Lin Wangshu was speechless. The other party had obviously started to argue irrationally, and hung up the phone before the other party could finish speaking.

Mother Liang was so angry that she could hardly breathe when she heard the dial tone. She thought, "How ill-mannered! The elders haven't even finished speaking, and they dare to hang up the phone."

Growing angrier the more she thought about it, Liang's mother felt she had to teach Lin Wangshu a lesson for being so ungrateful. So she made another phone call...

"Old Jiang, is Lin Wangshu your daughter? Why is she going to the countryside?"

When Jiang Defu heard this, he thought his old classmate was joking. "How could that be? How come I didn't know? When did she go to the countryside?"

"Oh dear, you'd better watch out! I saw her name on this application form!"

Jiang Defu was terrified. "What? Old Hou, you have to help! What will happen to Wang Shu, a young girl, if she goes to the countryside?"

"Don't worry, you don't know anything about it. I'll just cross her name off!"

Jiang Defu thanked her repeatedly, but after hanging up the phone, he was furious. He figured this matter was probably related to Deputy Political Commissar Liang's husband, so he picked up the phone again and called Deputy Political Commissar Liang.

Deputy Political Commissar Liang was shocked that his mother could do such a thing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old Jiang, don't worry, I'll send Liang Ping to the countryside for some training right away. This kind of thing will never happen again!"

Jiang Defu sighed helplessly. Deputy Political Commissar Liang was an upright man, but his wife was really inhuman.

After returning home, Jiang Defu told An Jie about the incident. An Jie was also terrified after hearing it. Jiang Defu decided to make arrangements for Lin Wangshu as soon as possible. The wife of Deputy Political Commissar Liang was from a powerful family, and he was afraid he couldn't control her. Therefore, he had to send Lin Wangshu to a more distant place.

Although An Jie was somewhat reluctant, she nodded in agreement for Lin Wangshu's sake. Jiang Defu then began to think about where to send Lin Wangshu.

An Jie suddenly said, "I remember you have an old comrade-in-arms who is the head of the cultural troupe in Jiangcheng, right? Wang Shu is good-looking, so it would be perfect for her to go. Besides, Wei Dong is there too, so they can look after each other."

Jiang Defu also thought it was good, and then pursed his lips and said, "You remember where my old comrades-in-arms are even more clearly than I do!"

Anjie smiled smugly, "These are all intangible assets, of course I have to keep them safe for you."

Jiang Defu looked at her with affection and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Wangshu was somewhat surprised to learn that she was going to the cultural troupe in Jiangcheng. She had originally thought that Jiang Defu would arrange for her to stay on the island. An Jie patted her hand and said, "Our Wangshu is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't go to the cultural troupe?" An Jie and the others still didn't tell Lin Wangshu the truth, for fear that Lin Wangshu would overthink things.

Lin Wangshu hugged An Jie's arm and said coquettishly, "I'm just a little reluctant to leave you all. I'm going so far away, and I'm afraid you'll miss me so much that you won't be able to sleep."

Anjie chuckled and tapped her head: "I don't want that. Your dad and I will only have some peace and quiet after you all leave!"

When Dehua learned that Lin Wangshu was going to Jiangcheng to join the army, he was extremely opposed and shouted, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother are really heartless. Wangshu is just a young girl. You are willing to send her so far away. I am not willing to do it!"

Anjie was becoming increasingly afraid of her sister-in-law. Dehua had cornered her, leaving her speechless, but she couldn't tell her the truth either. Jiang Defu glared at Dehua, "What are you yelling about? Your sister-in-law and I are doing this for Wangshu's sake!"

Yafei was quite supportive of Wangshu joining the performing arts troupe. Her sister was so beautiful that even the drama troupes on the island couldn't compare to her, so she naturally deserved to go to a bigger place to be worthy of Lin Wangshu. So she put down her chopsticks and said to Dehua leisurely, "Aunt, you're being a sparrow again!"

Dehua waved his hand and said irritably, "I don't care about sparrows or anything like that. Anyway, I don't agree with Wang Shu going so far away. If the child is bullied, no one will even know."

Lin Wangshu knew that Dehua genuinely cared for her; her heart was always with these children. So she hugged Dehua and comforted her, "Aunt, don't worry. I'm so smart, when have I ever been bullied? Besides, my second brother is there too. I'll just go to him if I need anything."

Wei Min chimed in, "My older sister has a lot of ideas, no one can bully her."

Dehua finally smiled. She knew that Wangshu had been clever since she was a child, and her brain worked better than her two older brothers.

Lin Wangshu was leaving soon, and An Jie was busy packing her luggage and found some brightly colored fabrics to make her a few new dresses.

Dehua packed up all the delicious treats in the house, such as malted milk powder and peach shortbread, and even asked Zhang Guiying next door to make a new quilt for Lin Wangshu so that she could send it to her later.

Jiang Defu thought for a moment, and finally took out his treasured Xifeng and Moutai and gave them to Lin Wangshu, asking her to give them to Director Sun of the cultural troupe.

On the day of departure, Dehua held Lin Wangshu's hand and cried at the dock, while Anjie also sobbed uncontrollably. Jiang Defu looked at the two of them helplessly and said, "The ship is about to leave, so you two shouldn't hold her anymore."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Lin Wangshu hugged Anjie and Dehua, choking back sobs, "Mom, Aunt, I'll write to you as soon as I get here. I'll miss you!"

Once on board, Lin Wangshu stood on the deck and waved to her relatives on the shore. As the ship sailed further and further away, the people on the shore became smaller and smaller. Watching Songshan Island gradually disappear into the distance, Lin Wangshu silently said in her heart: Goodbye.
