Chapter 403: Chapter 403
The ratio of time between the "space" and the outside world was one to two, with this time difference, the child should be able to be well taken care of.
However, Liang Tian felt that he was being too assumptive, but since the Host was indeed saving a life, and without trying, it could not be directly negated.
Thus, for the first time ever, he allowed her to bring a living being into the "space".
After Liang Tian had agreed, Zheng Long took the child back to the military unit, a move that certainly startled the entire military district.
When everyone learned that he had picked up the child from a trash bin, and expressed his intention to adopt her, everyone’s gaze towards Zheng Long changed.
Even the military district leaders talked to him, "You say you are not married, how can a big man like you raise a child? Isn’t this a joke?"
"Leaders, rest assured, I will not neglect my work. I have arranged everything. I found an aunt to help with the child, and I visit her in the city when I rest. She is so young, it’s not appropriate to put her in an orphanage. I can afford to raise her, and since I am not getting married in this lifetime, and Eldest is already grown up, since this child has met me, it’s also fate between us father and son."

"Not getting married? How can that be? A strong man like you, how can you not marry? You’ve adopted Eldest, and now even this girl, you also—"
Zheng Long shook his head, "Women are trouble. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the life I’m leading now. The child will only suffer for these few years, and once she’s grown up and sent to preschool, there won’t be any issues."
"You fool, do you think raising a child is that simple? If she gets a headache or fever, she still needs to go to the hospital. By paying someone to take care of the child, will they treat her as their own biological daughter? If so, why not find someone from our compound to take care of her first? That way, it’s closer, and you can rest assured, right?"
Zheng Long shook his head and refused, "No need, leaders. I have already found someone. Now I am just requesting the military to issue me a document. I will return to Hei Province and get the child’s residence registered under my household, Eldest is already in the first year of high school, and the college entrance examination has been reinstated. He will also take the test here later. We, three generations of men, will live together."
Finding a woman? Forget about it, he knew stepmothering wasn’t an easy role, and how many stepmothers are genuinely good?
He had no interest in women, and living with men, haha, that was even less possible, so it’s simpler just to raise two children and have them keep him company.
No matter what the leaders said, he still stuck to his original intention. In the end, everyone had no choice but to let him do as he wished.
In Zheng Long’s words, he came only as a formality, not for them to persuade him to abandon his idea.
After Zheng Long left, the Political Commissar persuaded the regiment leader, "I think Zheng is already doing well, definitely better than Old Zhang, right? How many years has Old Zhang’s wife managed the home inside and out? She even cared for his parents until their passing. And what happened when she got sick? He dumped her and divorced her, tarnishing her reputation with various slanders. This kind of harmful person, we didn’t see it coming before? What did Old Zhang say? He said his wife was abusing the elderly, and her character was very vile."
"I understand everything you’ve said, and I’m not saying that the child has done anything wrong. I just wonder why he won’t marry? Why has marriage become a burden to him? Could it be that he has some unspeakable physical issues?"
