Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

Fang Ling looked a little depressed. "I haven't been busy recently. I've been fighting everywhere, and business isn't doing well."

"Don't you read?"

Wei Ruolai asked casually, now the conditions here are much better, this age is a good time to study.

Fang Ling's expression darkened after hearing this, and she busied herself with chores in the house to divert her attention.

"I have no money, and my family is still in debt. When I was well-off, I studied with a private school teacher for a few days and memorized the Three Character Classic and the Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child."

It seems that I have been learning for quite a while. Once I have learned well, I can find a job as a ghostwriter.

At that moment, Wei Ruolai pretended to be serious and wanted to examine Fang Ling.

"Recite the Three Character Classic for me."

Fang Ling thought for a moment and began to recite, "When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are close, but habits make them different. If you don't teach, your nature will change. Teach, teach——"

She thought about it several times but couldn't think of what to say next, so she finally stopped in embarrassment.

“I forgot what came after that.”

I really only remember the beginning and have forgotten a lot.

Seeing Fang Ling picked so many mulberries for him, Wei Ruolai wanted to teach her, "Okay, I'll teach you when I have time."

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Fang Ling sat at the table nearby and said with some anticipation:

"Brother Rulai, I want to learn arithmetic."

Few girls are willing to learn this, so Wei Ruolai asked, "Why?"

Fang Ling recalled the arrogant looks of those money lenders and said angrily, "I learned to help my father settle the accounts, so that he would not be cheated by those money lenders and pay so much extra money for nothing."

Ever since my father took out a loan, he has never paid it back in all these years.

This was something Wei Ruolai had not expected. He paused and said, "Learning arithmetic is not that easy. You have to start with the simplest addition and subtraction and understanding the abacus."

"I can do it. I am not afraid of hardship."

Fang Ling heard that Wei Ruolai wanted to teach her, and she was immediately delighted.

"Okay, I'll teach you after dinner."

Niu Chunmiao did come to see Wei Ruolai once, and saw him teaching Fang Ling arithmetic, and then returned to the Soviet Bank.

"Sister Jinzhen, I really can't understand why Gouguzai can be such a good accountant, but he is unwilling to come and join our organization."

She also listened to Shen Jinzhen's words and did not rush in to pull Wei Ruolai out. Otherwise, she would have to beat him up to make him agree to join the organization.

It takes a process.

Thinking of what happened next, Shen Jinzhen's expression froze. She was not sure whether changing the outcome of something would change Wei Ruolai's mind, but the little girl Fang Ling was saved.

"This is a personal choice. If he has thought it through, we welcome him to join. If he has not thought it through, we cannot force him to join."

She wanted Wei Ruolai to join their organization even more strongly than Chunmiao did, but she also knew that if he didn't come in sincerely, he would certainly not devote himself wholeheartedly to the organization, which would go against the original intention.

Niu Chunmiao's ideas have always been somewhat different from Shen Jinzhen's. "Sister Jinzhen, I think you just don't understand him. For him, a beating can solve all problems."

"Did he seriously promise you anything?"

Shen Jinzhen smiled slightly. Although she had not known Wei Ruolai as long as Niu Chunmiao, she could see clearly that Wei Ruolai had never given in on matters of principle unless he felt they were not important.

"He promised me to break off the engagement. And what happened before? Didn't he agree to my point of view after a beating?"

Niu Chunmiao was stunned for a moment, as if Wei Ruolai was not very resistant to what she said.

"Okay, don't worry about his problem. I'll give you some special training while we have time. Shall we practice shooting more?"

Shen Jinzhen looked around. It was lunch time and there was no one else around. It was a good time to practice more.

"Okay, Sister Jinzhen is the best. I will definitely practice hard."
