Since Yafei and Ya Ning hadn't returned yet, only Lin Wangshu was sitting at the table tidying up her things. Jiang Weidong closed the door behind him when he came in.

"There are so many delicious foods outside, what are you doing staying inside all by yourself?"

Lin Wangshu snorted after hearing this, "Because there are annoying people outside, I don't want to go out!"

"Who is this annoying person?" Jiang Weidong asked curiously, leaning against the table with his arms crossed.

"Uncle Ding, of course. Who else could it be? He treated Auntie so badly, don't you hate him?" Lin Wangshu frowned and said with dissatisfaction.

But after these two years, Jiang Weidong has come to terms with it and doesn't have as much of a problem with Lao Ding anymore. "There's nothing we can do. You can't force a relationship. What can we do if Uncle Ding doesn't like Aunt?"

"If you ask me, Auntie is also at fault. She shouldn't keep going to Uncle Ding's house all the time!"

Jiang Weidong's analysis was initially quite logical, but under Lin Wangshu's increasingly hostile gaze, his voice gradually softened.

He didn't know what he had said wrong, so he asked guiltily, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm wondering whose nephew you are? Why are you taking the side of outsiders?" Lin Wangshu raised an eyebrow and said with a forced smile.

Jiang Weidong smiled helplessly, "I'm not taking Uncle Ding's side, but reasoning with him doesn't work either."

"No way!" Lin Wangshu retorted unreasonably. "Unless it involves principles, you can only side with your relatives, not with what is right."

"And next time I complain about someone else to you, you either have to agree with me or listen quietly. You're not allowed to try to reason with me and spoil my fun!"

Thinking about the impending calamity involving Jiang Changyi, Lin Wangshu was afraid that he would act like a character in a TV drama, favoring reason over family, which would be infuriating. So now she had to keep him on her toes.

Seeing her sitting in the chair with her legs crossed, the usually pretty and well-behaved girl was now acting like a rogue, which made Jiang Weidong laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and I'll definitely correct it next time!"

Lin Wangshu shook her head and laughed, "That's more like it."

A smug smile graced her fair face, making Jiang Weidong's heart itch. He couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching her cheek, laughing, "You unreasonable girl!"

Lin Wangshu glared at him with displeasure, reaching out to slap him while mumbling a complaint, "Don't pinch my cheeks anymore, I'm so old!"

Just then, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Sister-in-law An walked in with a smile, "Wangshu, dinner is ready."

But seeing the two people so intimately inside the room made her smile freeze. Her eyes darted back and forth between them, her expression complex, with a hint of "I knew it."

Sister-in-law An quickly composed herself and smiled at Jiang Weidong, saying, "Weidong's here too, let's eat together."

Upon hearing this, An Jie frowned and walked over, looking at Jiang Weidong and scolding him, "Why did you close the door again? Didn't I tell you, you have to keep the door open when you talk from now on!"

Jiang Weidong was very dissatisfied with this rule, but in front of outsiders, he could only swallow his anger and nod, saying, "I understand."

After the meal, Jiang Defu, Lao Ding, and An Tai were still drinking and chatting, while An Jie and her sister-in-law sat in the living room chatting.

Aunt An absentmindedly ate sunflower seeds, recalling the scene she had just witnessed, and tentatively asked An Jie, "I think Wang Shu is getting more and more beautiful now. When I first saw her, she was just a little baby."

“She was pretty even when she was little. I even said back then that she looked just like you when you were little. You two are destined to be mother and daughter.”

Mentioning Lin Wangshu, An Jie's usually nonchalant face showed a hint of nostalgia. "Yes, she was so small back then, and she wouldn't let go of my finger."

"A pair of eyes, looking at me so pitifully, melted my heart."

"Now, in the blink of an eye, I've grown into a young woman. Time really flies!"

"That's right, if you blink again, it might be time for her to get married!" Sister-in-law An teased her with a smile, watching her reaction closely.

Sure enough, Anjie immediately frowned, looking very resistant. "It can't be that fast, and I don't want her to get married so early either."

Sister-in-law An smiled and said, as if joking, "You're just reluctant to part with him. Anyway, you have three sons, so just choose one as your son-in-law."

An Jie's brows relaxed, and she laughed, "You had the same thought as me back then, which was that Lao Jiang disagreed and said that this was an arranged marriage."

"So now, I'll just let things take their course and I'm not going to worry about it anymore."

Judging from her expression, Sister-in-law An knew that she was very happy to see it happen, although she was mentally prepared, she was still a little disappointed.

But he still smiled and said to An Jie, "Don't worry, you will get what you want!"

From her observation today, Jiang Weidong and Lin Wangshu are a perfect match, one is in love and the other is interested in the other, they will be a couple sooner or later!

An Jie liked hearing this, so she smiled at her sister-in-law and said, "Then I'll take your good wishes!"

After the An Tai family left the island, life continued at a leisurely pace, but Dehua's usual smile was gone, and he looked somewhat lost.

Lin Wangshu immediately guessed that it was related to Lao Ding, and sure enough, she noticed that Lao Ding had gotten together with Wu Yizhu again.

Seeing Dehua's infatuated expression, Lin Wangshu felt helpless. What was so good about Lao Ding?

In Anjie's words, he was a widower, a widower with four children, so why was Dehua so fixated on him?

Lin Wangshu couldn't bear to see Dehua sad, and she thought about how to make her wish come true.

Lin Wangshu knew what Lao Ding was thinking: he wanted both the mundane necessities of life and the romance of love. But how could there be so many good things in the world? He had to choose one.

She already had a plan in mind, but she needed the help of four people; she had to find a way to bribe this kid.

Thinking that Si Yang is about the same age as Jiang Weidong a few years ago, the two of them should like similar things, so Lin Wangshu's eyes lit up and she began to rummage through Jiang Weidong's collection.

Upon learning of her purpose, Jiang Weidong gripped the bomb-cased plane tightly as if facing a formidable enemy, saying, "I don't care about anything else, but don't even think about this!"

Lin Wangshu gave him a chuckle. "What are you thinking? I'm not stupid. Of course I can't give him this."

So, flipping to the last page, Lin Wangshu held up Jiang Weiguo's favorite toy car from back then, and looked at Jiang Weidong with a fawning smile, saying, "How about this one?"

Thinking back to his elder brother's parting words and glancing at Lin Wangshu's bright eyes, Jiang Weidong hesitated for only a second before readily nodding, "Okay, you can take it!"

Lin Wangshu cheered happily, then chuckled and said to him, "I still need your help with something."

So on the way home from school, Jiang Weidong and Lin Wangshu blocked his way one after the other, with inscrutable smiles on their faces.

Si Yang felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at the tall and imposing Jiang Weidong, he swallowed hard and said, "Brother Weidong, you're not going to rob me, are you?"
