Today was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, three full days and two nights before Lunar New Year. While having breakfast my mother asked Father, "What's with Old Huo in our building? Why is he moving on this last day of the year?"

Father grumbled resentfully, "He bought a new apartment. Of course he wouldn't stay here to suffer!"

Mother tried to comfort him, "Our son said we can use his money for a down payment. Why don't we look at properties together?"

Father scoffed, "You believe your son would pluck the moon for you if he says so?"

I was stunned. So Father still didn't trust that I'd become wealthy? Didn't he think about my position as R&D assistant to the CEO of Huaxi Pharmaceutical Group - couldn't I afford a house?

Rather than argue, I resolved to surprise them by buying property after the holiday.

Mother mused, "After living here so long it's hard to leave this two-bedroom apartment behind. It's small but could work for three people. When we return to our village, maybe Son and his wife can renovate it..."

Father said nothing, just exhaled deeply. To him, the idea of a daughter-in-law remained remote - though my current romantic prospects were abundant, he still felt insecure about our family's humble status compared to elite social circles.

I ate without trying to guess Father's thoughts until Mother spoke again: "Old Huo is selling his place at a fire-sale price..."

The notion struck me suddenly - buy the apartment below! Not just to prove my financial capability, but because I needed to move Zhang Xiaoya into something more convenient than her rural village location. The two-room unit was small enough for her and her father, though I'd definitely upgrade her bedroom to king size...

I abandoned lunch and retreated to my room. This wasn't something I could handle directly - none of the other women were trustworthy with this information. Zhu Da's loose tongue made him even less reliable than the rest. Best call Tiger.

Tiger had no pressing business, so he agreed to check out Old Huo's apartment immediately. An hour later he called back: "Old Huo wants 290k plus property transfer fees."

Fucking fire-sale indeed! This two-bedroom was worth about 300k in Beijing's inflated market. But I didn't care about the price - surprising Zhang Xiaoya with a New Year gift mattered most.

I transferred the money online to Tiger's account for Old Huo and left him to handle paperwork. The transfer process would take at least until after the holiday, but we weren't afraid of anyone causing trouble in Beijing.

Pulling Peach into my room, I began designing interior renovations with her on our computers. Finding contractors would be too slow so I contacted Xiaohui through my communicator to secretly deploy construction ants and materials. We'd start tonight before dawn.

For appliances Zhang Xiaoya preferred cleanliness - essential to install a bathroom with electric water heater (solar was too complicated). Toiletries must be premium branded items. The living room demanded a 42" plasma TV, complete audio system, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and full kitchen set. We'd give her everything except the car!

Beijing's online shopping system made purchases easy. With my credit card registered on major sites and Peach helping out, we finished buying all items within hours.

The waiting period was agonizing - I kept pacing up/down to bathroom like someone with prostate issues rather than admitting I was counting down to nightfall when construction ants could work unnoticed.

At lunch Mother casually mentioned, "Old Huo sold his place first thing this morning! But poor Old Zhong upstairs has had no takers for months at 280k plus transfer fees..."

Wait - Old Zhong was selling too? I hadn't known anything about that! No wonder Father kept me home during holidays - he must fear loneliness if his son ran off.

After another lavish lunch from Mother (which I barely touched), I called Tiger for help again, then told Xiaohui to double materials and workers in the evening.

The lower apartment would house Zhang Xiaoya; upstairs would be Zhao Fen, Zhao Fang and Xiao Yu. If those two adjacent apartments across the hall were also selling... maybe bring over Yixiaorou and Fan Yanmeng too. With everyone together it'd make a perfect family.

I immediately ordered double quantities from online retailers with 8am delivery instructions for installations tomorrow.

Winter nights descended early as construction ships silently landed on rooftops, carrying materials and ants through the howling north wind. The tireless workers began their tasks under Xiaohui's pre-programmed directives.

The long night was both blissful and torturous - happy about soon welcoming Zhao Fen/Fang/Xiao Yu tomorrow and Zhang Xiaoya the next day; torturous because even ants made enough noise to disturb sleep with every clink from upstairs/downstairs.

When dawn finally arrived silence returned, allowing me to finally sleep until late morning. Mother was also exhausted from lack of rest, taking a post-lunch nap while muttering about mysterious midnight noises that kept her awake.

"I'm going up there!" she suddenly declared at breakfast. "Whoever's making all those annoying clanging sounds needs a piece of my mind!"

I intercepted her, "Maybe it was something urgent last night? Let's wait and see tonight first."

Good thing I convinced her - if she discovered the truth I'd be in big trouble.

Xiaohua arrived with five elite soldiers to oversee appliance installations at both apartments by midday... another day of constant clinking sounds until evening. While Parents were busy in kitchen, I snuck out to retrieve keys from Tiger and inspect both new homes.

The renovation was simple yet functional - no ostentatious luxury but very comfortable. The living room layout felt like home with the enlarged double bed particularly inviting...

Not knowing if Zhang Xiaoya had already arrived by air, I only sent her a text about the New Year gift. For Zhao Fen though I made direct calls asking three women to come over after dinner - they'd receive their gifts there.

When evening came the trio arrived punctually and I took them out under pretense of a 30-minute break from Parents.

"Brother, what's this surprise?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"Yeah Big Brother Zhao," Zhao Fen added, "why do we have to go outside? Can't you show us at home?"

The hallway was freezing cold - Zhao Fang pulled her coat tighter, "Big Brother Zhao, it's so cold!"

"All right! Upstairs then!" I led them up the stairs.

Using keys to unlock fresh security doors, I pushed all three inside before closing behind me...

"Wow such a new apartment," Xiao Yu gasped. "Who lives here? Why do you have these keys Big Brother Zhao?"

I handed each woman their own key and declared, "This will be your home starting today! Just knock thrice on the radiator pipes whenever you need help at night - I'll jump from my window to assist."

"Our new home?!" they shrieked joyfully before racing into bedrooms.

Sinking onto living room sofa with remote in hand, I turned on 42" plasma TV and sighed contentedly... gold house, beautiful women. What more could life offer?

After rooms were claimed and spaces fully explored, Zhao Fen sat beside me asking, "Where did you get this place?"

No need for secrecy among these three. "Heard from Mother about Old Zhong's sale yesterday so I bought it. Let construction ants handle renovations last night then we ordered all appliances today."

"Thank you Brother!" they chorused sweetly with glowing faces. Xiao Yu kissed my cheek first, Zhao Fen more shyly followed, and Zhao Fang trembled nervously as she planted her own kiss - a rare 14-year-old's first kiss!

TV played some boring soap opera while four of us sat in the living room each thinking privately:

I wondered when we could finally form our open family; Zhao Fen admired husband's thoughtfulness; Zhao Fang worried about this bad brother's other secret houses; Xiao Yu felt loved equally as a robot.

Suddenly knocks came at door - unexpected since Old Zhong had been vacant for six months and I'd just bought the place...

Three girls watched TV intently like they agreed earlier, so I went to open it myself.

"What is this Fenfen? Why did you secretly come up to Zhao Qian's apartment? What are you doing here..." Wait - Zhao Qian was inside too!

Military-style Yixiaorou stood at door with snowflakes in her hair, both faces showing equal surprise. I hadn't expected her while she certainly wasn't expecting me either.

"Ha ha ha!" three girls burst into laughter on sofa.

"Hurry in Yiruo," Zhao Fang pulled her inside before declaring, "This is our new home - all arranged by Zhao Qian for us."

I never knew four girls could be so close. Earlier I'd even considered finding separate housing for Yixiaorou because we sometimes got a bit... passionate. But she clearly loved this place too.

"Really? There's space for me?" Yiruo asked excitedly as Xiao Yu held her hand.

Yiruo winked at me before announcing, "Then I'll move in tonight!"

Xiao Yu and Yiruo went checking their rooms while Zhao Fen naturally shared with Zhao Fang.

After initial excitement they prepared to sleep. When seeing complete sets of toothbrushes, toothpaste, nightgowns and pajamas - even if sizing/brands weren't perfect for them personally - each girl still threw me flirtatious glances out of genuine gratitude.

Because space was limited four girls had to take turns using small bathroom. After Yiruo/Xiao Yu finished washing up Zhao Fen returned to living room saying, "Sister, go ahead! I can't find where I put my pajamas..."

Inside Zhao Fen's room I found her searching bed for clothes...

Approaching from behind I hugged her cute little butt and slipped hand under dress. "Happy wife? Tomorrow let's buy more clothing/accessories together. From now on this will be our real home!"

Zhao Fen gave soft moan, collapsing against me as I leaned over her body. My semi-erect penis pressed through fabric to her lower abdomen while hands lifted up her dress revealing black bra straps.

"Darling why the black bra today? Trying to tempt me with black/white contrast?" I teased while unclipping back fastener. Her breasts bounced upward as I pushed bra up and buried face in valley, one hand squeezing while other sucked... Strange how Zhao Fen's scent suddenly seemed fresher and more intense than usual.

Even stranger was her reaction - usually she'd grab my head pressing breast against me but today hands fidgeted nervously while body trembled violently with abnormal moans under stimulation.

"Brother-in-law don't here! Sister might see!"

I fell straight onto floor from shock as Zhao Fen shouted - wasn't she supposed to let Zhao Fang use bathroom first? How was it now Zhao Fang who emerged from room?! The scent definitely didn't match Zhao Fen's usual floral fragrance... Wait, I remembered how Zhao Fang had that faint sweet aroma in town compared to Zhao Fen's intoxicating field-bloom scent. Earlier when sucking breast I hadn't noticed this but now the clear smell confirmed - it was Zhao Fang all along!

Oh my God, I just sexually assaulted my 14-year-old niece!

"Brother-in-law what's wrong?" Zhao Fang reached out to help me up, her bare chest right in front of me as pants hung loosely on thighs.

Suddenly overwhelming urge took over - strip her completely and take her roughly!

No no no... She was only 14 years old! I quickly pushed hands through panic helping her dress while muttering, "Hurry hurry Fangfang, we must fix this..."

Zhao Fang let me touch whatever parts I needed as she sat on bed giggling, "Enough Brother-in-law. Soon I'll be undressing for shower anyway - how does my body compare to Sister's?"

I stopped fumbling and awkwardly smiled beside her, "Same same, equally beautiful."

"If they're equal why do you only like Sister not me?"

"I do like you sweetie, just different ways. You know you're 14 years old and not ready for adult things yet..."

Suddenly Zhao Fang jumped into my arms, "Fourteen? What about it? I have everything Sister has! I'm no smaller anywhere! Do you dislike that my down there is still intact?"

"Love love! Maiden hair is nice too... Oh wait what are we talking about! Let me go watch TV..."
