While speaking next door, Meng Fang was in his own room, bolstering the walls and reinforcing the roof for his wife.
Just as he was about to repair the west wall, coincidentally he overheard people talking on The Other Side.
Although he couldn't hear very clearly, it seemed... seemed to have something to do with him?
Unable to restrain his curiosity, Meng Fang instinctively pressed his ear against the wall to listen carefully.
And then he heard: "You also need someone to join the army, right? If the spot goes to Meng Fang, wouldn't that mean your own children wouldn't have to go?"
...
Old Mo had lived a lonely life, grew old in solitude and desolation, alone and forlorn. Why should this idiot get to have a wife and a warm bed with children?
I can't stand it unless I tear them apart.
And to think he's a neighbor, watching their loving daily life, it's unbearable, it just annoys me!
...
Hearing this conspiracy froze Meng Fang to the core, his whole body stiffened.
