Chapter 141 I'm afraid you'll infect my brother with your stupidity.

[There's a 3,000-word update to the previous chapter; you can go back and reread it to pick up where you left off.]

Having made another sum of money, Bai Nuo was exceptionally excited today, walking with a limp. From a distance, one could tell that the child's mind might not be quite right.

Fang Meng rode his bike a few seconds faster, stopped when he got close, and strode forward, about to reach out and grab the little girl's collar, when suddenly his foot tightened.

Fang Meng looked down and saw a small gray mouse biting his shoe, shaking its head and tearing at it while making "woof woof woof" sounds.

"What the hell? Where did this big gray rat come from?!"

"What big gray rat? It's clearly a little puppy!" Bai Nuo turned around and quickly picked up Xiao Fugui, afraid that this unscrupulous fat boy would kick him away.

"You call this thing a puppy?" Fang Meng pinched the little guy's lip, exposing the little guy's head completely.

Or maybe we should take the little brat to get her head checked again sometime; she still doesn't seem very bright after waking up.

"Let go, let go, you're hurting it." Bai Nuo said as she slapped Fang Meng's arm repeatedly with her little hand.

"Tch, that brat's still so ruthless." Fang Meng grimaced as he withdrew his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and saw that it was indeed red.

Bai Nuo tightened her grip on Xiao Fugui's arm, stood on tiptoe to look at Fang Meng's arm, then quietly took two steps back and pursed her lips.

"Second brother, I didn't mean to, does it hurt?"

Her delicate, soft voice seemed to betray a hint of unease.

"Heh, now you know how to feel sorry for me. For a big gray dog, cough..." Fang Meng was glared at by the little girl, and he couldn't bring himself to say the word "mouse." He quickly changed the subject, "Alright, alright, I'm not in pain. Get in the car, let's go home."

"oh!"

Bai Nuo nodded obediently and sat in the back seat of Fang Meng's car, holding Xiao Fugui.

"It's uncomfortable on my bottom!" Bai Nuo held Xiao Fugui in one arm and grabbed Fang Meng's coat with the other, shifting her little bottom uncomfortably.

Fang Meng's hands gripping the handlebars suddenly tightened. He had been riding the bike easily, but the little girl on the back seat moved and suddenly grabbed his clothes on the side of his waist. His body went numb, and he almost rode the bicycle into the ditch before he could react.

"Don't move around. You're such a delicate person. Okay, okay, just bear with it. We'll be there soon. I'll put a cushion on the back seat later, alright?"

"Then you can sit here, okay? You can't let anyone else sit on my cushion." Bai Nuo tilted her head and leaned forward, looking at Fang Meng with a serious expression.

Fang Meng smiled and nodded, indulging without the slightest hesitation: "Okay, it belongs only to you."

From the time this little brat was born until she was eleven, the person who spent the most time with her was definitely Fang Meng.

Because both families were busy, and the two older brothers were much older than them, they were either in school or on their way to school. Especially since the little girl lost her mother when she was ten years old, Fang Meng kept a close eye on her every day.

When Xiao Fangmeng was five years old and was sent to school, he found that his younger sister was not with him. He almost refused to go by himself. Later, when his resistance was ineffective, he was directly suppressed by his two older brothers. So he started to think of ways to secretly bring his sister to school. In the words of the elders in the family, he wished he could carry her in his schoolbag. No matter how the family disciplined him, it was useless.

The two were separated when Fang Meng was fourteen and the girl was twelve, because Grandpa Zhou was transferred to another post. Then, when Fang Meng was fifteen, she was specially recruited to a secret unit.

Although they didn't meet for the next few years, Fang Meng would occasionally receive packages from Beijing. Grandma Wei's letters would always include updates on the little girl's situation. It wasn't until two years ago, when the little girl was sent to Shanghai, that Fang Meng stopped receiving any more letters.

Therefore, Fang Meng was the one from both families who understood the little girl's temper and her hidden personality the best.

For example, that almost obsessive possessiveness.

She might give you her things willingly, but no outsider is allowed to touch them before she decides to. If anyone does, she will destroy them without a word, and no one will be able to get them back.

It's like Fang Meng promised the little girl that she would put a cushion for her on the back of her bicycle. If someone else sits on it one day, unless it's someone from that family, she will not only destroy the cushion, but she will also dismantle the entire bicycle into pieces that can't be put back together.

Of course, Fang Meng's outcome wasn't much better. In severe cases, Bai Nuo might never speak to him again, since he was the one who made that promise.

"You're really planning to raise this little guy?" Fang Meng glanced at the wolf cub the girl was holding.

I wonder which pack of wolves this girl was stolen from. What if her parents come looking for her?

"Don't worry, Fugui'er's mother died protecting it, along with two wild boars. I even buried its body. I didn't see Fugui'er's father, so I brought it back to raise. I can afford to raise it."

"Nobody said you couldn't afford to raise them. It's okay if they don't have parents, but the main problem is that the wolves in the mountains are not easy to deal with. It would be bad if they came down the mountain to look for their cubs. But if you like them, you can keep them."

It's not like we don't have the means!

Fang Meng glanced at his pocket, where there was a savings book. He had just asked one of his comrades to mail it to him. It was the savings book he used to deposit his allowance, and it was more than enough for the young girl to spend.

His older brother and Brother Bai were always worried that he wouldn't be able to take good care of his younger sister, so this time they'll see who among the three brothers is the best at taking care of their sister.

When Mingming was little, he took care of her the most, even more than Brother Bai.

When the two returned to the former educated youth compound, only a few old educated youths were in the front yard; the others had not yet returned from the county town.

As soon as Liu Xier pushed open the dormitory door, she saw a handsome young man pushing a bicycle into the front gate, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Comrade, you, you must have come to the wrong place. This is the educated youth compound. Who are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

Liu Xier tugged at her clothes and walked over quickly. With a slightly shy look, she looked at the tall, strong, and handsome young man pushing a bicycle not far away, and her heart was pounding wildly.

She returned to the brigade with Wang Mudan last night and had never seen Fang Meng before. Suddenly, she saw a tall and handsome man in a smart black Zhongshan suit pushing a bicycle. His demeanor was even more impressive than any of the factory leaders she had ever met. He was clearly not from an ordinary family.

Are you blind?

Bai Nuo suddenly peeked out from behind Fang Meng, smiling at Liu Xier: "Oh, are you better or not? Why don't you go to the county hospital for another lie-in? Of course, those who can enter the educated youth compound are educated youth. You don't need to fawn over them. Stay away from my brother. I'm afraid you'll infect him with your stupidity."

"Bai, Bai, the educated youth!"
