Siheyuan: I just want to live

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Hou Debang nodded slightly to show his agreement. After all, they had frequent and huge transactions over the years, and Hou Debang knew the scale of Chen Feng's wealth.

Thinking back on the cooperation with Chen Feng over the years and all that money, I'm afraid Chen Feng has accumulated millions or even tens of millions of dollars now, right?

Although such a huge amount of funds may not be enough for Chen Feng to become the richest man in Sijiu City, it is indeed not easy to find someone richer than Chen Feng.

Thinking of this, Hou Debang felt that he no longer needed to refute what Chen Feng said. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little solemn, and the three of them sat there silently and continued fishing. No one took the initiative to break the depressing silence.

However, Lou Xiao'e's return in May did not last long. She stayed at Chen Feng's house for only a few days before leaving in a hurry and heading back to Hong Kong Island.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Feng said he could fully understand it. After all, the current domestic situation is still unstable, and Lou Xiao'e has taken a huge risk by returning home to visit her relatives ahead of schedule.

Therefore, it would be wise for her to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible.

When Lou Xiao'e was about to leave, she asked Chen Feng with concern whether he needed her to buy him a car from Hong Kong Island. Chen Feng smiled and politely declined the suggestion.

"The car has a limited number of seats. It is difficult to accommodate our large family!"

After saying this, he did not forget to make jokes in a light-hearted and humorous tone.

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e did not argue much, but nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood the deep meaning of Chen Feng's words. Then, she turned around and left Sijiu City without any nostalgia, embarking on her journey home.

I thought that everything had come to an end and there would be no more ups and downs.

However, unexpectedly, one month later, Chen Feng unexpectedly received a notice from Hou Debang.

This surprised Chen Feng very much. He said that Lou Xiao'e specially sent him a car from the distant Hong Kong Island!

At first, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel confused. You know, he had told Lou Xiao'e clearly before that his family was large.

An ordinary car cannot accommodate all the people traveling together, so there is no need to send a car. But why did Lou Xiao'e insist on sending it? This is really puzzling.

Although full of questions in their minds, Chen Feng and Hou Debang still went to the steel plant to find out what was going on as agreed.

When they arrived at the destination, the scene in front of them instantly made Chen Feng realize that what Lou Xiao'e sent was not an ordinary car, but a brand new Toyota van!

At this time, the van was surrounded by a group of people, all of whom were talking and admiring this magnificent car.

Hou Debang, who was standing aside, teased Chen Feng from time to time, mocking him for living off women.

Faced with Hou Debang's teasing, Chen Feng chose to ignore it. He quickly snatched the key from Hou Debang's hand, then got into the van without hesitation, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away like an arrow, leaving behind only a cloud of dust and a stunned crowd.

After a while, Chen Feng drove the van back to the farm.

After returning to the farm, the unique and distinctive car instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Many people gathered around, whispering and talking among themselves, full of curiosity about this strange and weird vehicle.

However, when they saw that the person getting out of the car was Chen Feng, the powerful leader of the farm, their urge to step forward and ask was immediately suppressed.

After all, Chen Feng's position in the farm is very important. Although everyone is extremely curious, no one dares to ask the reason.

As night fell, Chen Feng finished his day's work and drove slowly back home. At this time, his wife Jin Ling had been waiting for a long time.

When she saw the new car her husband drove back, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise. After some inquiries, she learned that the car was actually a gift from Lou Xiao'e. Jin Ling was stunned for a moment, and then she remained silent.

Perhaps it was because she had accepted the fact that there would now be three more members of their family, including Lou Xiao'e and her son, so she did not dwell on it too much and just accepted it silently.

Since then, Chen Feng has driven this unique van to and from the farm and home every day.

In the morning, he would first send the children to school and then go to the farm to start his busy work; in the evening, he would appear at the school gate on time to pick up the children after school and go home together.

Along the way, the van became the focus of people's attention, attracting frequent glances from passers-by.

However, as time went on, some gossip began to spread on the farm.

From time to time, someone would point fingers behind his back and whisper that Chen Feng had to rely on women to afford such a nice car.

Faced with these rumors, Chen Feng remained extremely calm and composed, not taking them to heart at all.

He continued to do his own thing and lived his life wholeheartedly. Chen Feng ignored such remarks.

Chen Feng's days were originally as peaceful as water, flowing smoothly like this. However, the hands of time quietly pointed to the end of the year, and this tranquility was finally ruthlessly torn apart.

The reason was simple. The woman named Lou Xiao'e once again brought Chen Yue and Chen Xiao to this familiar land - Sijiu City.

When she returned this time, Lou Xiao'e did not go straight to Chen Feng's home as usual. Instead, she was warmly received by the local government in the name of investigating the investment environment, and was properly accommodated in the famous Jianguo Hotel near the Sun Temple.

(The Jianguo Hotel officially opened to the public in 1982)

It was also because of this that as soon as the dawn broke, Chen Xi hurried to Chen Feng's door and stretched out his little hand to knock on the door hard.

Chen Feng, sleepy-eyed, slowly sat up on the bed. He shook his head drowsily at first, trying to completely break free from the chaotic dream and regain some clarity.

After he regained consciousness, he gently nudged Jin Ling, who was still sleeping soundly beside him, and called softly, "Wife, hurry up and get up! If you don't get up, Xixi will probably knock on the door again."

However, Jin Ling just twisted her body lazily, and ruthlessly pushed away Chen Feng's hand on her, muttering complaints.

"Oh, I'm so annoyed! I must have done something wrong in my previous life to marry into your Chen family. I'm simply here to pay off my debt in this life!"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He certainly knew clearly what caused Jin Ling's resentment.

After all, no matter who they are, when they suddenly realize that their originally happy and warm little home suddenly has three new members, a mother and her two children, they will more or less feel some dissatisfaction and resentment deep in their hearts.

Moreover, the mother and her two children are related to her husband, and the child is her husband's.

However, at this moment, Chen Feng himself has not yet figured out a suitable way to comfort his wife's wounded heart.

Just when he was feeling distressed about this, he was surprised to see Jin Ling suddenly sit up straight on the bed.

Her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and her eyes revealed endless irritation and anger.

Then, Jin Ling opened her mouth and yelled, "I'm so annoyed! I'm so annoyed!"

With this roar, she swung her fist mercilessly and smashed it hard on Chen Feng's shoulder. While hitting him hard, Jin Ling kept muttering.

"It's all your fault! You obviously can't hold your alcohol tolerance and shouldn't have drunk so much! And now look at all the mess you got yourself into because of drinking!"

Facing Jin Ling's resentful accusations and scolding, Chen Feng quickly begged for mercy: "Wife, please don't be angry anymore!"

"I promise you, from now on I will never touch a drop of alcohol again. Really, I want to quit drinking completely!"

Perhaps the anger in her heart had been completely vented, and after hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling finally stopped waving her hands.

She slowly turned around, her eyes fell on the clothes scattered on the bed, then she stretched out her slender fingers to gently pick them up, and began to put them on with a slightly stiff movement.

However, even though her hands were moving, Jin Ling's mouth was not idle. Her face was full of resentment and her brows were furrowed.

He glared at Chen Feng beside him and muttered, "So what if you're thinking about quitting drinking now? You shouldn't even touch that damn alcohol!"

Every word seemed to carry deep resentment and dissatisfaction, shooting straight at Chen Feng like a sharp arrow.

Facing Jin Ling's rebuke, Chen Feng was silent at the moment, not daring to refute at all. He knew that he was in the wrong first, and if he continued to talk back without knowing what was good for him, it would probably only make the lady in front of him even more angry.

So he nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes! It's all my fault, I really shouldn't have touched that wine!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng quickly reached out and grabbed his clothes beside him and put them on hastily.

But Jin Ling didn't seem to buy into Chen Feng's quick admission of fault. She snorted, the sound coming from her nose full of disdain and contempt.

Then she turned her head away and didn't look at Chen Feng anymore, obviously not wanting to bother with this annoying guy anymore.

For a moment, the room fell into silence. Chen Feng and Jin Ling did not speak, but just put on their own clothes.
