Unfortunately, Zhou Jianjun benefited from kinship; the military felt more comfortable entrusting Linlin to him, an adult, for upbringing than to him, a child.

After Su Lang passed away, they could no longer live in the houses that had been allocated to them.

Jiang Chengzhou had no choice but to entrust his younger sister to Zhou Jianjun.

He became an "orphan" on the island. Su Lang's previous savings were all in his hands, and Jiang Jinzhu and Deng Jing would occasionally send him money.

This matter can't be covered up on the island.

The child, who had no one to protect him, had such a large sum of money on him.

This is a military base; the adults won't do anything reckless, but the children have no such scruples.

First, they tried to win him over by saying they would take him out to play, but in reality, they wanted him to pay for their meals.

Jiang Chengzhou, being a single sperm, would never listen to them; he wouldn't fall for their tricks at all.

As a result, after school, Jiang Chengzhou would often be cornered in the alley by older students who would try to rob him of his money and food.

Jiang Chengzhou will not file a complaint; he will only fight them head-on.

He often came home covered in bruises.

When the teacher asked him, he only said that he fell down on his own.

Because of these experiences, he has become somewhat extreme in temperament. When others hit him, he never thinks of any other solution; he only knows how to hit back.

Yan Yuan and he used to play together when they were little, but they stopped seeing each other as they grew up.

The two later got back together because of a fight.

At that time, Jiang Chengzhou was cornered in a dead end and surrounded, his face bruised and battered.

Yan Yuan just happened to be passing by; he had no intention of getting involved.

It was Jiang Chengzhou who spoke first, hiding in the corner.

"Help me, I'll give you five dollars."

Five yuan was a sum that Yan Yuan would have to earn by selling more than 60 jin of crabs.

Yan Yuan put down his schoolbag and joined the battle.

Later, Yan Yuan realized how much trouble he had gotten himself into.

Because of this "fate," the two grew much closer, and he discovered the extreme and arrogant side of Jiang Chengzhou's personality.

Yan Yuan just wanted to make money honestly, and when his grandfather got old, he would take over his grandfather's job and go out to sea to fish.

But Chiang Cheng-chou is different.

He has plenty of money and no one to control him, so he often gets into fights outside.

Yan Yuan once thought that he would definitely cause trouble for him, and just when he was trying to get rid of him, one day Jiang Chengzhou suddenly said that he was going to see his sister.

This was the first time Yan Yuan had ever seen Jiang Chengzhou so happy.

He went to the supply and marketing cooperative in high spirits and bought a lot of food, including hair ties for girls.

After a few times, it seemed his sister wouldn't let him buy anything anymore.

However, Yan Yuan also discovered that his sister was the bridle that controlled Jiang Chengzhou's wild horse.

Every time Jiang Chengzhou visited him, no one knew what the girl said to him, but Jiang Chengzhou would always behave for a long time and wouldn't go out to fight.

Yan Yuan asked him about it.

Jiang Chengzhou waved his hand at him, a helpless yet happy smile on his face, "Don't ask, it's all because of my sister. She cries nonstop whenever she sees my injuries, it's so annoying."

He said he was annoyed, but his face couldn't hide his pride and doting affection.

Yan Yuan was grateful that someone could keep him in check, and finally felt at ease dating him.

After Grandpa Yan Yuan passed away, Jiang Chengzhou was busy taking care of him. Later, for some reason, he simply moved into his house.

The two children, who had no one to care for them, began to depend on each other for survival.

We went to school together, cooked together, and went beachcombing together.

Neither of them was focused on their studies.

Yan Yuan had good grades, but all he wanted was to grow up quickly so he could go out to sea with the village's collective fishing boats; he had no interest in studying.

Jiang Chengzhou is a problem child at school.

The teachers couldn't do anything with him and just hoped he wouldn't cause trouble.

Jiang Chengzhou often slept during the day and went to the beach with Yan Yuan at night.

After graduating from junior high school, neither of them went to school anymore.

The military granted special permission for local fishermen to set up stalls near the supply and marketing cooperative to sell seafood, so the two of them went to set up a stall together.

Later, they were no longer satisfied with the meager income from beachcombing and wanted to go out to sea with the village's large boats.

They were only teenagers, still young children, and without parents to care for them, so the villagers didn't dare take them along.

The two children were quite brave, and they managed to repair Grandpa Yan Yuan's old fishing boat on their own.

The two children then began to arrange their own lives.

Because they were young, the village didn't make them pay grain taxes or anything like that, and the two children secretly saved up a sum of money.

They didn't spend money on anything, but they ate a lot, and both of them grew to be tall and strong.

As soon as they came of age, people came to their door to propose marriage.

Although the two children were orphans, they were good-looking, tall, hardworking, and well-known young men in the surrounding area.

The girl's parents approved, and the girl herself, seeing their faces, had no choice but to agree.

Unfortunately, neither of them was willing to date or get married.

The two of them earn so much money that they can't bear to spend it on anything other than food.

They wore old, tattered clothes, and even the clothes that Jiang Chengzhou had torn in a fight were patched by Yan Yuan.

They don't want to get married, and when people ask them why they work so hard to earn money, they're often asked.

Yan Yuan was unaware that he had nothing he wanted to do.

My grandfather was in so much pain when he was sick that he wished he could cut off his own legs.

Yan Yuan wanted to take him to the hospital, but he refused.

Yan Yuan knew the reason: he was afraid of spending money.

Perhaps that's why Yan Yuan has developed an obsession with money. He's reluctant to spend it, and it seems that he only feels at ease when he sees his money gradually increasing.

Jiang Chengzhou became even more shameless.

He didn't spend any money, but he said he wanted to save it for his sister.

Now that the college entrance exam has been reinstated, his sister has good grades and will definitely pass the exam. He will then use the money to support her education.

Chiang Cheng-chou also said that you should definitely go to a big city to go to university, because people there might be snobbish.

He needs to save more money for his sister so she can buy pretty clothes and not suffer any hardship.

Everyone else said Jiang Chengzhou was stupid, but Yan Yuan secretly envied him.

They lived together, and everyone said they were orphans.

Yan Yuan knew that only he was the one, not Jiang Chengzhou.

Yan Yuan was abandoned when he was a child and had no family. He felt like he had nowhere to go and no idea where to go.

No one is holding you back, and no one is controlling you.

This is a terrible feeling.

This may be why he tacitly allowed Jiang Chengzhou to move in.

At least there was someone in the house to talk to him.

Thinking of this, Yan Yuan put the net away. "If we really can't find a place to stay, let your sister stay here for now."

Jiang Chengzhou's eyes lit up. "You agree?"

Jiang Chengzhou knew best about Yan Yuan's aloof, unsociable, and trouble-averse personality.

It was quite unexpected that Linlin was allowed to move in.

Jiang Chengzhou originally didn't want Linlin to live here either.

It's inconvenient for the two of them, both grown men, and Linlin, a girl.

It's just that finding a suitable house is too difficult.
