Even if these people were unwilling, they couldn't defy the orders from above.
All the young people were pulled over.
Ning Hong, seeing Ning Lesheng munching on potato chips, took the initiative to talk to the manager there.
The administrator in charge of the nearby villages is named Zhang Yuan.
She was a young woman.
I heard she's a fire-type ability user.
His personality is completely different from his name; he's extremely fiery.
Upon hearing Ning Hongze's purpose, Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "You mean there's a mentally challenged man in your family who can't come and help?"
Hearing Zhang Yuan say that, Ning Hong felt somewhat displeased.
What kind of talk is that?
"Judging from your eyes, you don't seem to agree with what I said?"
"I think you could have phrased it more tactfully."
"I don't think there's any need to be tactful; this is the truth, isn't it?"
"So what you mean is?"
"Can't."
Zhang Yuan shook her head. "Since you're not disabled and still able to move around, you have to come. This is a matter of life and death for us."
“I can do more.”
“I said, even if you love your brother very much, you can’t help him with everything like this. What will he do in the future?”
“I believe you are definitely a good older brother, but an older brother who truly cares about his younger brother is not like this.”
Zhang Yuan patted Ning Hongze's shoulder forcefully. "You need to help your mentally challenged younger brother become a useful person in this era."
Ning Hong rolled her eyes in annoyance. Since reasoning with her wasn't working, there was no point in continuing.
Ning Hong sighed and turned to leave.
Let's stop talking. If we keep going, he might just start hitting us.
“This person’s name is Ning Hongze.” Zhang Yuan took out a small booklet from her backpack, which clearly recorded all the people in the village.
This includes how many young and middle-aged people are in each household.
This family.
Yes, we should have been nicer to him.
A mentally unstable younger sister, a mentally challenged older brother, an elderly grandmother, a twelve-year-old nephew, and a widowed sister-in-law.
Apart from him, there wasn't a single normal young adult.
The document also specifically stated that the sister-in-law was not old, but her health was extremely weak and she could not do farm work.
So, this one person supported the whole family?
"What kind of superpower does Ning Hongze possess?"
"He seems to be related to the water element."
"Water system?"
Are water-based ability users really that powerful? There are so many water-based ability users in the base, but they're barely making ends meet. They're nothing like this person. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they seem to be living a pretty good life.
"I'm not too sure about that. Maybe it's because there are more water-type ability users in the base, so it's not worth much. I heard that there are only two water-type ability users in this village. With so many water-type ability users in the safe base, it's naturally incomparable."
"Perhaps." Zhang Yuan pointed to the Ning family's photo; the family members were quite good-looking. "They're just a bit too lazy."
She stared at Ning Lesheng's photo. Everyone said that this boy had some mental problems, but he looked so handsome that he didn't seem like a fool at all.
"Boss, you've taken a fancy to this little fool?"
"What?"
"This little fool."
A passing subordinate noticed Zhang Yuan staring intently at Ning Lesheng's photo and couldn't help but chuckle knowingly. Who would have thought this female tyrant could find love?
"This little fool is very popular. Many families in the village have their eyes on him. Some capable women have even offered to take good care of him and asked the Ning family to hand him over to them. But his brother just refuses."
"They could have gotten rid of the burden, but they refused without hesitation."
He had to admit that he admired Ning Hongze quite a bit.
At the very least, if he had someone like that in his family, he would probably give him away.
Putting everything else aside, he simply couldn't support so many people.
“Many people want to raise him,” Zhang Yuan murmured to herself.
No wonder, the man was indeed very handsome.
He exudes an indescribable talent and charisma.
"I'm kind of thinking about it too," Zhang Yuan muttered softly. This was definitely her type.
"Boss? What's your type?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
"This is none of your business, just shut up." Zhang Yuan's gaze then fell on Ning Lesheng's photo. "If you keep dawdling, don't blame me for hitting you—"
Since Zhang Yuan refused to let Le Sheng rest at home, Ning Hong did not insist.
Le Sheng didn't really have any other problems. Unfortunately, this one problem was fatal.
The next day, he took Ning Lesheng to the site where the wall was being built.
Ning Hong then pulled him aside and gave him careful instructions.
"Don't wander off."
"Don't go with any strange men who come." Ning Gongzuo carefully instructed Ning Lesheng.
The women nearby all laughed.
“Ning Hongze, I’ve long heard that you are thoughtful and treat your younger brother like your own son.”
"I was initially thinking that it might be a rumor, or that the story was a bit exaggerated, but I didn't expect that it was really true."
"He's such a grown-up now, he should be more sensible by now."
These women were gossiping about Ning Lesheng, even though she had absolutely no connection to them.
Ning Lesheng had never done anything to wrong them, but to them, not liking to help with household chores meant he was a lazy bum.
They were already nosy, and with this lazybones as a contrast, they were even more self-righteous in their meddling. Their voices were noticeably louder than everyone else's.
"Hey." Suddenly someone reached out from behind and tried to pull Ning Lesheng's collar.
"You've come out to work, so you have to do a good job. You absolutely can't hold your brother back again."
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to touch Ning Lesheng, Ning Hong suddenly reached out and blocked Zhang Yuan's touch.
"Ning Hongze?"
"My brother doesn't like being around strangers."
Ning Hong said with a slight embarrassment.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Zhang Yuan had glared at him when he stopped her.
Could it be that this girl named Zhang Yuan has taken a liking to his younger brother? That can't be! If she really did...
Ning Lesheng showed no reaction to what was happening outside. He simply followed what Ning Hongze had taught him, building the wall brick by brick.
The bricks he laid were perfectly neat, without even the slightest error; they were almost flawless. His movements were also remarkably swift and clean.
"Isn't your brother quite capable?"
"—" He didn't say his brother couldn't do it.
It's just that Le Sheng's identity makes it inconvenient for him to travel outside.
What if something unexpected happens? I wouldn't know what to do.
