The Thousand Feathers Chinese Fir Residence was a very common single-family villa in Japan. Its appearance was very ordinary and there was nothing special about it.
If one had to say that it was eye-catching, it was that it was not crowded between the houses like other places.
The location was quite remote from downtown. There were only about ten villas around, and each house was separated by a gap the size of a villa.
"I'm back, Meikan."
Yuki Mikan was the name of Qianyu Shanmu's distant cousin. Although she had just graduated from primary school and became a junior high school student, she was only thirteen years old.
However, his behavior was very mature and sensible, completely unlike what his age should be like.
"Onii-chan, welcome home ~"
Yuki Mikan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV alone with a pillow in her arms, ran over happily when she saw the Thousand-feathered Shanmu return.
Yuki Mikan helped Chiyuki to hang the school bag on his right shoulder on the hanger, and then she was about to take off Chiyuki's school jacket.
"Meigan, I can handle this small matter myself.”
"Onii-chan is already very tired after work. I also want to help you share some of the burden.”
"Alright, Onii-chan hasn't had dinner yet, right? You can sit on the sofa and rest first. I'll go and re-heat the food that I just made last night.”
"Sweet Orange"
Qianyu Shanmu, who was pulled to sit on the sofa, smiled bitterly. Yuki Mikan was so busy that it made him feel like he was the one who needed to be taken care of.
He's clearly the older brother
About ten minutes later.
"Come and eat, Onii-chan."
"Coming, coming."
When he walked over and saw two empty bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, he could not help but feel helpless. He knew that Yuki Mikan had not eaten in advance again.
"Meigan, I've told you many times. You really don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner.”
"I don't have an appetite if I don't eat with Onii-chan.”
"So I'm just a tool to eat.”
Thousand Feathers Fir pretended to be angry.
"Hehe, yes, yes."
The house was filled with laughter. Although there were only two people in the empty house, the atmosphere was surprisingly warm.
Of course, the warm atmosphere was built up over time. When the Thousand Feathers Fir and Yuki Mikan first met, they were not as intimate and casual as they were now.
————
Perhaps it was fate, but Yukiki Mikan's parents died on the same day as Qianyu Shanmu's parents.
At that time, there was no extra money, and the Yuki Mikan Residence was a traditional Japanese building. The space was about the size of three or four small villas.
Therefore, all the relatives unanimously decided to hold the funerals of both families at the same time at Yuki Mikan's house.
It was at this funeral that the Thousand Feathers Cedar got to know Yuki Mikan.
The two of them didn't interact at first. When they realized that Mikan Yuki wasn't crying or making a fuss, she sat quietly on the other side. The Thousand-feathered Shanmu only gave her a slightly strange look before looking away.
Because his current situation was much worse than Yuki Mikan's. Children like Yuki Mikan who were incapable would be adopted by their relatives soon after the funeral.
As for older trees like the Thousand Feathers Fir, if their families were not particularly rich, they would not even consider adopting them.
In particular, Thousand Feathers Fir's family had almost no contact with their relatives, so the probability of being adopted was even less likely.
In the middle of the funeral, Thousand Feathers Fir actually met a few middle-aged women who came over to adopt him.
However, Thousand Featherwood felt that the way they looked at him was a little strange, so he rejected them.
After the funeral, Thousand Feathers Fir packed up the clothes that he had changed into for the past few days and prepared to leave with his suitcase.
Passing by the reception hall, Qianyu Shanmu heard relatives fighting for custody of Yuki Mikan.
For a moment, Thousand Feathers Shanmu felt that these relatives had good characters. He did not stay any longer and continued to walk out of the door with the box.
Thousand Feathers Shanmu had only taken a few steps when a few words suddenly came from his mouth, causing Thousand Feathers Shanmu to stop in his tracks and his face to darken.
"Aren't you all here for the insurance money and this big house?”
"Heh, you guys make it sound good, but aren't all of you the same?”
…………
So it was all for the insurance amount.
As expected, people were vicious. They would not do things that did not benefit them.
Just as Thousand Featherwood was about to turn around and say something, he was surprised to find Yuki Mikan standing by the door and listening quietly.
"They're only after your money. Aren't you angry?”
"There's nothing I can do about being angry. This isn't something a child like me can decide.”
"What do you think about me adopting him?”
Thousand Feathers Shanmu didn't know why he would say this. One had to know that he might not even be able to support himself in his current condition.
"Alright."
Yuki Mikan raised her head and stared at the Thousand-Feathered Chinese Fir for a while before nodding with a smile.
Even if Yuki Mikan agreed, the matter would not end so simply. When Thousand Feathers Fir went to tell everyone that he would adopt, his relatives did not buy it.
After all, they couldn't just let a fat duck fly away like that.
The Thousand Feathers Chinese Fir had been talking for a long time, but it didn't work. In the end, Yuki Mikan released the recording of the conversation between her relatives and said that she would call the police. Only then did they agree to the adoption of the Thousand Feathers Chinese Fir.
In the first few days when he brought Yuki Mikan back, Yuki Mikan had always addressed him as 'Big Brother'. After a long time, she changed the way she addressed him.
