Siheyuan: I just want to live

After dinner, Chen Feng was driven to the gatehouse in the front yard to sleep with a wronged look on his face. His originally comfortable bed in the main room was occupied by Jin Ling and Lou Xiao'e without any hesitation.

Faced with such a situation, although Chen Feng was extremely dissatisfied, he could only be angry but not speak out. Who made these two women so powerful?

By the next morning, the sun had not yet risen completely, but Chen Feng, who usually stayed in bed late, got up early, which was unusual.

He quickly washed up, then skillfully pushed out his bicycle, hung the carefully prepared fishing gear on the bike, and hurriedly set off for the farm.

Soon, Chen Feng arrived at the farm. He went straight to the fish pond with ease, secretly thinking that he must catch a few big fish today.

After all, for him, fishing seems to be the only fun in life now. Fortunately, the farm work is still managed by the deputy farm manager.

Guan Huaren has been on this farm for a long time, and he has been the deputy director for several years.

As for work experience, it is definitely quite rich. Therefore, Chen Feng is very relieved as long as he is handed over to him to handle the daily operation of the farm.

In this way, Chen Feng now has nothing to do all day long, and spends most of his time with Old Man Li and Hou Debang.

Among these three men, one has long retired and no longer works; one is about to retire and simply threw all the work to his deputy; and the other is always thinking about retiring early and also threw all the work to his deputy.

So, the three of them got together every day, and apart from fishing, it seemed that there was really nothing else serious to do.

Chen Feng had just sat down by the fish pond on the farm and hadn't swung the fishing rod a few times when he saw Old Man Li and Hou Debang walking slowly towards him.

The two old men obviously came here to fish. When they saw Chen Feng, who was already sitting by the fish pond, there was no surprise on their faces, as if everything was within their expectations.

Then, without saying a word, they quickly took out fishing rods, fish hooks, bait and other items from the fishing gear bag they carried with them, and swiftly began to make various preparations before fishing.

The skillful movements showed that he was an experienced angler.

Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, a long time had passed.

At this time, Hou Debang, who was sitting not far from Chen Feng, kept his eyes firmly fixed on the fishing float swaying on the water, while his mouth was not idle either.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Feng and asked, "Xiao Chen, how was your return home yesterday? Was there any trouble at home?"

Chen Feng was concentrating on his fishing float. He was stunned when he heard Hou Debang's question.

But soon, he realized the meaning behind Hou Debang's words.

So, he turned around with a look of astonishment, looked straight at Hou Debang, and asked in disbelief, "Brother, do you also know about Lou Xiao'e's return?"

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Hou Debang smiled and spoke happily.

"Of course there is no doubt about that, brother. After all, you are a well-known cadre in our steel plant."

He paused for a moment, then explained, "That's right. Lou Xiao'e submitted a request to the foreign affairs department of our steel plant to come back to visit her family."

"Our foreign affairs department has always been rigorous and serious in its work. We can't just agree to it without thinking. We must understand the situation clearly."

"After asking around, everything became clear! Not only that, the photos of the mother and her two children were also sent to our steel plant!"

At this point, Hou Debang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling his appearance in those photos, then nodded and continued.

"Well... I've also seen those photos. I have to say, they really do look like you, especially the little boy. Hey, if someone insists that the child is not yours, I would never believe it even if you kill me!"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Chen Feng felt as if his brain had suddenly crashed and he was completely unable to comprehend what was going on.

He asked in confusion, "Brother, according to what you said, everyone in the steel plant and the foreign affairs department knows about this?"

Looking at Chen Feng's silly look, Hou Debang nodded without hesitation and replied firmly: "That's right! Everyone already knows it!"

Seeing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Hou Debang again in an uncertain tone.

"Brother Hou, what exactly do you mean by 'everyone knows'?"

"Does it mean that everyone in the steel plant and the foreign affairs department already knows about this? Or is there some other special direction?"

As soon as Chen Feng asked this question, before Hou Debang could respond, old man Li, who was sitting a little further away, suddenly snorted coldly.

Then, old man Li opened his mouth angrily and shouted at Chen Feng: "Humph! Don't you understand yet?"

Having said this, Old Man Li paused for a moment, as if he wanted to add weight to his next words.

Then, he continued to shout loudly in a bad mood: "Now in this city, who among those who are a little bit well-informed would not know this?"

"Secretary Chen from the farm attached to the steel plant has hooked up with a very wealthy lady!"

"Besides, this rich lady is no ordinary person. She is a super rich lady from Hong Kong Island!"

"His wealth is truly incredible, it's worth hundreds of millions! And the unit here is not our RMB, but real US dollars!"

As Old Man Li said these words, he did not forget to glance at Chen Feng. From his expression and demeanor, it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with this matter, and could even be said to be extremely angry.

However, while Old Man Li was talking incessantly, Hou Debang did not say another word from beginning to end.

He just looked at Chen Feng with interest and smiled, listening quietly to the old man Li's passionate words.

When Chen Feng heard what Old Man Li said, his heart, which had been hanging in the balance, seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss in an instant and he died completely.

At this moment, he knew very well that those trivial and unspeakable things in his family had probably spread throughout the whole city and became the topic of conversation and laughter for people after dinner.

However, Chen Feng did not take it to heart at all when Old Man Li mentioned that Lou Xiao'e now had a net worth of hundreds of millions of US dollars.

After all, Chen Feng has always been a person who is content with a life of moderate prosperity and does not have a strong desire or pursuit for money and wealth.

What's more, Chen Feng has hundreds of thousands of cash stored in his own private space!

Not only that, there are also several tons of heavy gold, a large number of dazzling jewelry, and countless precious antiques.

You have to know that these are treasures that Chen Feng has spent more than ten years and worked tirelessly running around various trust stores and black markets to carefully collect!

Chen Feng thought to himself: As far as these properties are concerned, if future generations do not squander them extravagantly.

Then relying solely on them would be enough for your family to live a prosperous life for at least three generations!

So when Old Man Li described Lou Xiao'e's current astonishing wealth in vivid detail, Chen Feng just nodded slightly, without much emotion on his face.

This made Old Man Li feel a little surprised. After all, Lou Xiao'e's wealth was really astonishing, but Chen Feng seemed to not care about it at all.

Old man Li saw that Chen Feng remained calm after hearing about Lou Xiao'e's huge wealth and brilliant achievements.

Without revealing the slightest envy, jealousy or surprise, his originally uneasy heart now calmed down a little, and he even felt a little comforted.

It seems that Chen Feng is really not the kind of person who is greedy for money.

At this moment, Hou Debang, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly came forward and said to Chen Feng with curiosity on his face.

"Brother Chen, I'm really confused. I just heard old man Li talking about how rich Lou Xiao'e is, but you didn't seem to react at all?"

Chen Feng, who was currently worried about the fact that he had become a topic of conversation among the people in the city outside the city, was somewhat confused by Hou Debang's sudden question.

He turned his head blankly, staring at Hou Debang with empty eyes, and muttered, "Reaction? What reaction?"

Seeing this, Hou Debang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that Chen Feng was pretending to be stupid on purpose. So, he cleared his throat and spoke in a louder voice.

"I'm talking about such a huge sum of money! Hundreds of millions of dollars! Aren't you tempted at all?"

However, facing Hou Debang's excited words, Chen Feng looked indifferent and responded lightly: "Moved? What's the point of being moved?"

"Even if the money is so much that it can be piled up into a mountain, it still belongs to Lou Xiao'e. What does it have to do with me? Why should I be tempted by it?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang smiled and asked tentatively, "Lou Xiao'e has given birth to your child. If you marry her, then her money will be yours, right?"

Hearing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him, then said, "Brother Hou, please stop it!"

"Am I, Chen Feng, the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich, abandoning his wife and children? Lou Xiao'e gave birth to a child for me, but didn't Jin Ling give birth to one for me?"

"Besides, money is something that only needs to be used. Do you think I'm someone who needs money?"
