88 Find Me a Sister-in-Law (1 / 2)
After the three of them rested at home for a while, Aunt Wei went out to buy groceries.
Leaving Fang Zhou and his sister alone, the two sat on the living room sofa, each holding a game controller, playing a co-op game.
About half an hour later, they encountered a level that Fang Wenjing just couldn’t get past, and she wouldn’t allow Fang Zhou to tell her the solution, insisting on figuring it out herself.
So they were stuck there.
Fang Zhou, helpless, smiled as he got up, thinking of checking the fridge for some fruit.
Aunt Wei was thorough in her work; the fridge was usually packed full, in case Fang Wenjing wanted something.
She had gone out today to stock up on groceries.
Indeed, upon opening the fridge, he saw neatly arranged fruits like dragon fruit, mangoes, and oranges.
Fang Zhou took out a dragon fruit and a mango, cut them into pieces in the kitchen, and then brought them to the living room.
“Have some fruit first, Wenjing.”
After calling out and getting no response, he turned his head to see his sister still deep in thought in front of the TV, immersed in her own world, not having heard him.
Fang Zhou shook his head helplessly and simply placed the fruit in front of his sister, softly reminding her.
“If you don’t eat now, I’ll finish it all!”
Only then did Fang Wenjing shift her gaze from the TV, releasing one hand from the game controller, and picked up a piece with a toothpick.
“So sweet!”
As she ate, her cheeks puffed out, resembling a little hamster, which made Fang Zhou laugh out loud.
“Ha ha ha, slow down with the eating!”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Fang Wenjing suddenly shouted, “Ah! I think I’ve got it!”
From noble mtl dot come
“That’s how it is, right!”
She picked up the game controller and urged Fang Zhou to do the same, maneuvering their characters to the spring and holding down.
“Right, don’t move. I’ll step on it, and then you jump once, and that should catapult me up!”
When the little girl on the screen successfully jumped onto the high platform, Fang Wenjing cheered.
“Hey, that’s right! We did it!”
“I’m so smart!”
Her face was beaming with a big smile, full of youthful vitality. At this moment, she was no different from her peers.
Fang Zhou watched with joy and couldn’t help but praise her.
“Well, of course, who else’s sister could you be!”
“Are you praising me, or yourself? Ha ha ha!”
The siblings exchanged a glance and burst into hearty laughter.
After the laughter, Fang Wenjing finally put down the controller and ran back to her room, taking out her homework.
“Brother, I’ve been doing my homework and studying hard while you were away!”
Fang Zhou flipped through her workbook, which was indeed well done, including all the textbook exercises and none were missed.
“It seems we hired the right tutor.”
Ever since he brought his sister to the capital for medical treatment six months ago, Fang Zhou had arranged for her to take a leave of absence from school back home.
At the same time, to ensure she didn’t fall behind in her studies and had something to do, he specially hired a top student from the Teacher’s College for one-on-one tutoring.
However, since Fang Zhou often needed to live stream, requiring a quiet environment, he rarely encountered the tutor.
But whenever he had time, he would still chat with them.
Although his sister had temporarily left school life, he didn’t want her to feel unhappy.
She was someone who loved community life, making friends, and learning.
Even though her illness made it impossible to keep up with everything, Fang Zhou was finding ways to satisfy her.
If he could bring a bit of familiarity to her studies, then Fang Zhou would do his best.
“Heh heh, that’s right, I’m super amazing!”
Fang Wenjing proudly lifted her chin, like a proud little peacock.
Fang Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle, reaching out to pat her head indulgently, “Yes, yes, my sister is the most amazing.”

“It’s just that I don’t know how much longer I can be with you, if only you could find me a sister-in-law sooner.”
As Fang Wenjing spoke, the topic suddenly took a turn, landing on the matter of illness.
The girl’s thoughts were pure; she was her brother’s only kin in this world. If she were to leave, he would be alone.
Just the thought of it was unbearable.
So Fang Wenjing spared no effort in trying to hasten Fang Zhou’s marriage.
Her reasoning was simple: if he had a sister-in-law, then her brother wouldn’t be lonely anymore, as she would always be there for him.
A simple sentence, yet it softened Fang Zhou’s heart.
He fell silent for a moment, finally understanding the good intentions behind his sister’s persistent matchmaking, feeling a mix of sourness and bitterness in his heart.
He hadn’t been a good enough brother, letting his sister worry about such significant life matters for him.
No wonder she had been hinting at him indirectly over the past six months, reminding him of what needed to be done.
So that was her intention.
“Don’t think too much, just focus on getting your kidney transplant.”
“As for the rest, about the sister-in-law and all, wouldn’t it be better for you to vet her yourself later?”
Unable to help himself, Fang Zhou ruffled his sister’s hair again, enjoying the fluffy feel under his fingers.
But the owner of the head wasn’t pleased, voicing her protest.
“Stop it! I don’t have much hair as it is, and if I go bald, you’re not getting off easy!”
Fang Zhou chuckled, promising, “Alright, alright, I’ll join you in shaving it all off.”
Yet his hands continued their motion regardless.
This also served to distract Fang Wenjing’s attention.
She forgot about her matchmaking mission, turning back to Fang Zhou to ask, “Have you raised the money for the kidney transplant? How did you manage it?”
Fang Wenjing knew all too well about her brother’s finances.
Back when his live streams were popular, he had saved some money and bought a house in their hometown.
But then their grandparents fell ill one after another, spending a lot of money, and finally, with her own bad news, Fang Zhou was left with barely a penny to his name.
Where could he have gotten so much money for her kidney transplant?
Although he had reassured her not to worry about money, that he would find a way, Fang Wenjing was no longer a naive child. She knew all too well how hard it was to earn money these days.
So his confident tone just now couldn’t help but make her suspect that her brother might have sold his own kidney to get the money for her transplant.
Fang Zhou, noticing his sister’s suspicious glances at his waist, could tell at a glance what she was thinking. His face darkened as he said sternly.
“I didn’t sell my kidney, don’t think nonsense!”
Fang Wenjing raised her hand, adjusting her non-existent glasses, and drew out her words, “Oh? Really?”
Her disbelief was almost written on her face.
Fang Zhou couldn’t help but laugh, giving her a gentle tap on the head.
“You really are a clever one!”
Fang Wenjing protested, “I am not! Brother, you’re the big dummy!”
As the siblings were playfully arguing, the doorbell rang.
“Ding-dong!”
Fang Wenjing’s eyes lit up, and she hopped off the couch to open the door.
“It must be the tutor!”
Fang Zhou chuckled as he got up, preparing to check his computer, only to be startled by the person outside.
Both exclaimed in surprise.
“How could it be you?”
“It’s you!”
