After finishing the lesson, Zhu Fanfan was sent home. Xi Yan insisted on staying, arguing that if a fight broke out, he would at least be an asset, and he didn't believe that the three of them couldn't beat Hai Bu.
Zhu Fanfan: ...How are you so sure a fight will break out?
In the evening, Ming Yunshu and his wife brought Ming Laosan over. After returning, Zhu Jiabao specially changed into his most dignified military uniform, leaving Zhu Fanfan speechless.
Seeing everyone busily preparing the meal, he couldn't help but say, "It's just a junior visiting, is it really that big of a deal?"
Zhu Jiabao was unhappy: "I will first overpower him with my aura, and then have the upper hand when I'm hurling insults. I want to avenge myself."
Xi Yan chimed in, "My sister isn't someone anyone can covet. Tell him to stop daydreaming."
Ming Yunshu then realized what was happening and asked, "Does the person who came have designs on Fanfan?"
He wanted to visit Uncle Zhu and his goddaughter today. Seeing everyone so busy, he thought there were guests and foolishly followed along to help. Little did he know that the big bad wolf was going to snatch his little white rabbit. If he had known, he would have prepared croton oil. Even if it didn't kill the big bad wolf, it would have been half-dead.
Xi Yan complained: "He wanted to marry Fanfan the first time he saw her. After returning to the Dragon Group, he asked the group leader every day when Fanfan would arrive. He even used force to subdue the entire group and ordered that when Fanfan arrived, he should tell him. Otherwise, if he found out who had met her but did not tell him, he would find that person and challenge them to daily duels."
Ming Yunshu asked Zhu Fanfan, "Why didn't you tell us?"
Zhu Fanfan didn't take it seriously: "I didn't accept his advances, and the chances of us having any contact in the future are slim, so I didn't tell you. You know I'm very popular, and I have suitors wherever I go. I'm experienced in rejecting people."
Once the time was up, they felt it wasn't interesting anymore and gave up. No one could persevere. After all, there were quite a few outstanding women in the Dragon Group. They were rare and highly sought after. If someone pursued Haibu, it would be like climbing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman and piercing a thin veil for a woman to pursue a man. He would be moved sooner or later.
Xi Yan disagreed: "You don't know Hai Bu enough. He's not the kind of person who gives up easily; he has a very strong will."
Although he disliked Haibu, he had to admit that Haibu was capable and quick to learn. If he didn't know the Dragon Group's rules and didn't dare to send him on missions, he would be fully qualified to take on a Heaven-level mission now.
It wasn't that no girls in the group confessed their feelings to him, but he rejected them without hesitation, showing no respect to anyone. He also kept his distance from the girls, so much so that no one would believe him if he told others that they were close.
Zhu Fanfan was confused: "How could someone with such a strong will fall for me? I don't believe in love at first sight."
Based on her observations, she felt that Haibu wasn't the type of person who would fall in love easily, but she believed that so-called love at first sight was either lust or ulterior motives, and she didn't believe in love.
Ming Yunshu just sneered: "We'll see what happens when he comes tonight and see what he wants from us."
Uncle Zhu holds a high position of power, Fanfan is beautiful, capable, and the only child in the Zhu family. Such conditions are enough to attract most young people. In particular, Fanfan is very cute and approachable, the type that any elder would like. She has all the best qualities of the younger generation. She is a walking golden goose and is easy to be targeted. Fortunately, this place is now separated from the other side of the building, otherwise, the young people who run into her every day would never stop.
Ming Laosan clenched his fist and said, "If you want to marry my sister Miaomiao, you'll have to see if my fist agrees."
All the women he saw who got married turned from happy girls into frowning and miserable ones, so he knew that marriage was not a good thing. He didn't even feel happiness with his mother. He was firmly against Miao Miao getting married. He had been working hard to train, and as long as he was strong, no one could bully Miao Miao.
Everyone in the room: ...In the whole room, besides your mother, who can you beat with your fists?
Zhu Fanfan looked at her godfather. How could such a shrewd person like her godfather have such a smart son? Ming Yunshu immediately apologized: "This child was accidentally caught in a door when he was little. Please forgive him."
Ming Laosan was indignant, but dared not speak after being given a sidelong glance by his father, since his father's beatings really hurt.
When Zhuge Qianxing arrived that evening, he was met with disdain from everyone. Zhuge Qianxing dared not say anything to others, so he could only vent his anger on Xi Yan: "What kind of expression is that? Giving me face? Don't forget that I am of a higher rank than you, and I am the one who opposes the Heavenly Gang."
Zhu Jiabao was displeased: "Are you trying to criticize me by saying these things in my own home and in front of me? If you have the guts, say them to me directly."
Zhuge Qianxing immediately explained, "I'm talking about Xi Yan. I practically raised that little jerk, and he still dares to roll his eyes at me. Can't I say a few words? Didn't you scold Fanfan when she rolled her eyes at you?"
Zhu Jiabao scoffed, "Zhu Fanfan rolls her eyes at me every day, how could I bear to scold her? Do you think she's like you, treating everyone like a stepfather?"
That brat is always making trouble for him. Whenever he goes too far, she always manages to make him roll his eyes. He won't tell Zhuge Qianxing any of this; he'll just let him think that the two of them have a very good relationship.
Ming Yunshu said to Xi Yan, "Dinner is about to be served. Xi Yan, come with me to the kitchen to clean up. What kind of man can't do chores? Xiao Xiao, you stay here with Fanfan. We have men in our family, so women don't have to do chores."
Xi Yan followed, and Hai Bu followed as well, saying, "I'll help too."
Ming Yunshu didn't object. He exuded a refined air and spoke in a very gentle tone: "It's really a lot of trouble for you. My Fanfan has been spoiled since she was little. She can't do any kitchen chores. We just can't do anything about it."
Xi Yan: ...Fanfan cooks very well.
Hai Bu chimed in: "I think it's normal for girls not to cook. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses."
In their village, there were women who weren't good at housework, so they would go up the mountain to chop firewood and hunt, while the men stayed home to do the housework. Everyone did what they could; there was no other way.
Ming Yunshu continued, "You're absolutely right. Fanfan is the only girl in the next generation of our Zhu family. She can't do housework or heavy work. We can only find her a husband to prevent her from being bullied."
Hai Bu disagreed: "Fanfan has high combat strength and won't be bullied."
Ming Yunshu shook his head: "You don't know that girls become very weak when they fall in love with someone, and women are most vulnerable when they are pregnant. They can't beat anyone. What if her husband takes advantage of her and she can't fight back?"
Naturally, they would kill him without anyone noticing. As long as he was alive, anyone who bullied his daughter would be killed, even if the Heavenly King himself came.
