Chapter 357 When the little girl turns eighteen, we will...

"You're just going to let my sister stay here?"

Zhu Xin, the sixth son of the Zhu family, was tall and slender. His physique was well-defined under his military green shirt, and he had a handsome face. He should have had a scholarly and refined appearance, but a hideous scar that ran from his forehead through his eye to his cheek gave him a cold and menacing aura.

One person carried a double-door wardrobe from the first floor to the third floor as easily as carrying a clump of cotton. He entered Bai Nuo's single dormitory room, his brows furrowed, and immediately began to criticize.

Fang Meng placed the water vat he had carried up in the corner on the left side of the wall as soon as you entered the small living room. He looked around again and nodded in satisfaction at the spot he had chosen for the water vat. Then he turned to look at the guy who had just entered and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

“This is much better than the doghouse you lived in in the army. At least this is a small two-room apartment with a living room. It’s enough for Niu Niu to live in by herself.”

Fang Meng knew that his little girl wasn't picky about where she lived. In their previous lives, they had all been through hell and bloodshed, and could even sleep in a pile of corpses. As long as they could eat their fill, it didn't matter where they slept.

"That's too small." Zhu Xin felt that as a rough soldier, a bed in the dormitory was enough for him. He could even sleep on the floor with just a blanket if he didn't have any clothes. But his sister, who had just been found, couldn't have that. She had to stay in the best place.

“When I came here, my grandma gave me two housing vouchers. One is for a courtyard house nearby, and the other is right next to Peking University. My mom has already spoken to the housing authority, so we can just go and give them to my sister directly. Why should we suffer here?”

"I'm telling you, you should save your money!" Fang Meng looked at Zhu Xin helplessly and chuckled. "Do you think the only heir of the Wei family would want less space to live? Niu Niu chose to live here herself. It's convenient for going to school and work. Although she's just a technician in the administrative department, criminal investigation cases are always urgent. She's a special technical worker, and the captain and deputy captain of their bureau's criminal investigation team live next to her. It's convenient and safe to live here. She'll only live here for two years. After she graduates from her studies, she can move to her own home."

Compared to the other brothers in the Zhu family, Fang Meng was the closest to the sixth brother, so the two of them got along more easily, and Fang Meng was able to be more patient with this future brother-in-law.

Although the two were four or five years apart in age, they had a good relationship. They had worked together on the battlefield many times before, and after returning from the battlefield, they joined the Kyoto General Military Region together.

This is probably why the Zhu family suddenly called Zhu Xin back from his military training. They wanted to use this relationship to get closer to their daughter by starting with him.

Fang Meng knew that although Bai Nuo was still awkward, she was no longer so resistant to contacting the Zhu family, so Fang Meng naturally wouldn't refuse this eager laborer.

"Alright, stop dawdling. The little girl will be off work soon. Hurry up and move the wardrobe into the inner room, place it against the left corner facing the window, and I'll go carry the bed up."

These pieces of furniture were all moved back from the old house. When leaving, Fang Meng politely declined Wei Wen and the other two's request to come and help.

All three men had numerous hidden injuries and were not young. If the little girl saw them doing this kind of physical labor, he would probably get a scolding. Besides, they were elders who had watched him grow up, and he couldn't bear to let his three uncles work so hard. Zhu Xin just happened to offer himself up and became the only laborer Fang Meng had brought over.

"Are you really going to let her go like this? Will my sister like it?" Zhu Xin had never met Bai Nuo before, and had only heard about her from his two younger brothers. He was a little nervous, afraid that he was not likable and would upset his sister.

This was the girl they had longed for for decades. Perhaps it was because they had been brainwashed by their elders since childhood, but as a son of the Zhu family, even though he had not yet met his only sister, he couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for her.

Fang Meng leaned against the door, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes brimming with confidence and pride: "You've asked the wrong person. In this world, no one knows my little girl's preferences better than me, not even Brother Bai."

"Tch, showing off!" Zhu Xin rolled her eyes at him with a mixture of jealousy and helplessness, but she couldn't refute his words.

The two met on the battlefield. During tense moments or short breaks, they would sit together and chat, mostly about their families.

The word he heard most often from Fang Meng was "little sister." At first, he thought it was Fang Meng's new little sister, but he soon found out that the little sister Fang Meng was talking about was not his blood-related sister, but a little sister who had grown up with him and had never been separated from him for a day before he joined the army.

He understood the deep bond between them that no one else could penetrate, so even though he, as the older brother, was deeply saddened that his younger sister had been taken away by a dog at such a young age, he couldn't utter a single word of condemnation.

"Hurry up and carry the bed away, just looking at you makes me angry!" Zhu Liuge, who was so jealous that he wanted to jump up and down on the spot, could only grit his teeth and glare at him fiercely.

Fang Meng raised his eyebrows smugly, turned around and went downstairs with a smug look on his face, skipping happily for a few steps, which made Zhu Xin so angry that he really wanted to kick him.

Unfortunately... he can't beat this dog!

The single bed that was carried up was made by Fang Meng himself. It didn't have a single iron nail; the entire structure used mortise and tenon joints, making the wooden bed both sturdy and stable.

Like Bai Nuo, he learned this skill in his previous life. The difference is that he was taught this skill by an old-fashioned architect who passed on this family tradition to him in order to repay his life-saving grace.

Apart from the bed, all the furniture they moved in was brought back from the Qishui Brigade; only the sewing machine was left at home.
