Chapter 105 Auntie, you've committed a crime!

"snort!"

Bai Nuo glared at the tall man standing in front of her, digging a hole with a hoe, wishing she could throw all the corn kernels in her hand at his face.

"Stop whining, are you a little pig?!" Fang Meng straightened up, looking amusedly at the little girl squatting on the ground.

He put down his hoe, walked over, took off his work gloves, pulled out a few White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket, bent down, and stuffed them into the little girl's arms.

"Don't be angry. It still hurts from the blows you hit me. I told you not to hit my face. Look at my face." Fang Meng pointed to his cheekbone. "Look, look, isn't it all bruised? How come after all these years, you're still so ruthless to your second brother?"

Bai Nuo held the few White Rabbit milk candies in her arms. Although she had a lot, she really couldn't resist any food.

"That's what you deserve. Who told you to mess up my hair? My grandma said, 'You can cut off my head and let my blood flow, but you can't mess up my hairstyle.'"

"That was clearly just an excuse Grandma Bai used when she wanted to beat Grandpa Bai!" Fang Meng rolled his eyes speechlessly. Seeing that the little girl was still glaring at him, he had no choice but to nod and admit his mistake: "Okay, okay, my little darling, I was wrong, alright? I'll go to the city tonight and buy you a hair accessory tomorrow. I'll go to a big department store and buy you the prettiest hair accessory."

"I also need hair clips, the prettiest and brightest ones, not the red and green kind." Bai Nuo also picked up the skill of taking advantage of the situation very well, looking up at Fang Meng with a smile.

Fang Meng smiled irritably and nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, I'll buy you the best ones."

"Hehe! That's more like it." Bai Nuo chuckled.

She's never known how to be polite to Fang Meng since she was little!

However, the thought that this guy was working as a night watchman at such a young age is a bit strange.

"Why do you like taking the night watchman job so much? Is it because you want to avoid taking decades of detours?" Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng seriously, hesitated for a moment, and said somewhat reluctantly, "If you are really short of money, I can support you. How about two yuan of pocket money every month?"

"...Two yuan!" Fang Meng was so angry at the amount that he completely ignored the so-called night watchman job.

"I really can't give you any more. I work so hard to earn money!" Bai Nuo instinctively clutched her pocket, inside which was her small wallet for keeping pocket money, which her older brother had sewn for her.

She wants to save the money so she can go back to Beijing and live a comfortable life with her grandparents and uncle.

She needs to save more money to take over her older brother's share, so that he can grow up freely and unrestrained without worrying about the care of the elders at home.

Fang Meng looked at the little money-grubber with amusement, but this was the first person besides his older brother to say that he would support him and give him pocket money.

Two yuan a month isn't a small amount; it's more than the pocket money of the older guys in their camp.

“Your second brother can still support himself, so he doesn’t need to for now. But when he becomes unable to move, he’ll have to rely on you to support him. We’ve agreed, it’ll be two yuan a month.” Fang Meng subconsciously reached out to rub his head, but then he saw the fire poker that the little girl had thrown on the ground next to him, and he suddenly pulled his hand back.

It's a bit embarrassing to get beaten up in front of so many people and not be able to fight back!

Let's forget about it!

"Alright then, we'll talk about it when you can't move anymore!" Bai Nuo nodded obediently, not finding anything wrong with what he said.

The Zhou family and the Bai family have been on good terms for generations. The four elders were comrades-in-arms who survived life and death on the same battlefield. Grandma said that the Zhou family was one of their own. Although the Fang brothers were surnamed Fang, they had been living in the Zhou family since Aunt Zhou sacrificed her life, so they were naturally one of their own. In her opinion, it was normal for her to support her own family members who could not move.

In Bai Nuo's view, there are only two kinds of people in the world: his own people and outsiders.

We don't care about the lives of outsiders, but we must protect our own people.

Although Fang Meng was often not in the brigade, he worked very quickly. After he dug the pits in the plot of land assigned to their group, he told Bai Nuo to just throw the seeds into the pits while he followed behind and covered them with soil.

After chasing each other around like this, we finished work around 4 p.m.

"Go back and wash up and rest first. I'll go for a walk in the mountains and then go back to cook." Fang Meng handed the tools to Bai Nuo, preparing to go to the mountains to catch a rabbit to nourish the little girl.

Bai Nuo didn't stand on ceremony. It was certainly good to have someone cook for you. Grandma had said that you shouldn't eat food from strangers, but Fang Meng was family, so it was okay to eat the food he cooked.

"There's still half a pheasant at home; You Zhiqing traded it with me at noon."

Fang Meng raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't ask any further questions. He wouldn't interfere with what the little girl wanted to do, as long as he made sure she wasn't bullied.

"Half a chicken isn't enough. I'll go hunt a rabbit and make you spicy rabbit meat tonight."

"Okay, I'll go and gather some more firewood later."

After agreeing on their tasks, the two went their separate ways: one headed towards the mountains, while the other went to the warehouse to return the tools and register their work points.

In fact, people nearby couldn't help but glance at the two of them from time to time throughout the afternoon. They had long noticed that the relationship between these two educated youths was unusual. However, Bai Nuo would occasionally call Fang Meng "Second Brother," and Fang Meng would act like he was treating his own sister. As a result, even though the two of them sometimes seemed a little intimate, neither of them said anything out of line.

Everyone guessed that the two educated youths might be related.

Another point is that what happened this morning is still fresh in everyone's mind. Fang Meng had just arrived in the countryside and had already beaten several scoundrels into submission. Judging from this, these two educated youths don't seem like people to be trifled with.

On her way back, Bai Nuo passed by the place where Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua were working, greeted them, and then headed towards the warehouse. Before she even reached the warehouse, she saw an old woman wearing a drab gray coat, a square scarf wrapped around her head, with a sallow complexion and a slightly mean and acerbic appearance.
