Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 361 The Old House Returns to Its Original Owner

Song Chunlin walked forward to check and found that Luo Shaokun was really unconscious. He must have fainted because Lan'er pinched his carotid artery. He probably wouldn't wake up for a while.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Say something!" Luo Amuo was still crying. Song Chunlin had already arranged for people to carry them to the clinic. They just wanted to help Fang Siyi move today and had no intention of killing Luo Shaokun. If someone really died, it would not be good for Fang Siyi's reputation.

Luo Shaokun and Luo Ammo went to the clinic together, leaving Lan'er and Luo Yao and his mother still sitting on the ground. Luo Yao looked at his family's things thrown all over the floor, and the child didn't quite understand what this meant.

Fang Siyi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the child. He did not mean to torture the child, but no matter how innocent the child was, he had enjoyed a good life in the past few years, and all of this should have belonged to his child.

"Child, you and your mother should pick up the things on the ground and find another place."

Lan Er sneered, "Looking for another place? In this vast world, where is there a place for us mother and son to stay? Stop making sarcastic remarks here. You are so successful now, with a big man like Da Sima backing you up. I can't beat you, but remember, I may not always lose."

Fang Siyi felt that this woman's hostility towards him was simply inexplicable. Logically, it was she and Luo Shaokun who had wronged him, but why did she now act like a victim? If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would think that he, Fang Siyi, was really a bad guy. He couldn't take the blame for this.

"I thought you should have seen through Luo Shaokun's kind of bad guy, but I didn't expect you are still so obsessed with winning or losing." Fang Siyi squatted down and looked into Lan'er's eyes. His eyes were full of incomprehension of Lan'er's question.

Fang Siyi's misunderstanding seemed to be asking Lan'er, why do you think a man like Luo Shaokun is worth fighting for?

"What do you mean? Did you come here today just for... this house?"

Fang Siyi said as a matter of course: "Of course, this is the ancestral home of our Fang family. If it wasn't for getting rid of that... Luo guy, I wouldn't have given up my ancestral home. Now that the court has changed the law, of course I have to get the house back as soon as possible. When I think of my ancestral home being occupied by an outsider, I dare not dream about it at night, for fear that my ancestors in the dream would ask why I lost the Fang family's ancestral home."

Lan'er widened her eyes slightly. She didn't get the answer she wanted. She was a little surprised and confused.

Now Luo Shaokun has no house, and probably even no shop. His family of four is now living on the streets. How are they going to live in the future?

Fortunately, Fang Siyi just wanted to get his house back and didn't want to kill everyone, so he asked everyone to divide the found property into two parts, one to be sent to the clinic to Luo Amuo, and the other to Lan'er.

"Why did you give it to me?"

"Luo Shaokun is not a good person. If he keeps all the money in his hands, he might use it to hire someone to deal with me one day. This is not the first time he has done this. Besides, you pinched him so hard just now. When he wakes up, he may not drive you away for the sake of the child, but you will not have a good life."

Having said that, Fang Siyi looked at Luo Yao, who was still a little confused, and sighed.

"It is said that if you love someone, you will love his dog. But that person also hates his dog. He doesn't like me, so he naturally doesn't like my child. Now he doesn't like you either. You and your child will not have a good life. You are a smart person. You know how to find a way out for yourself and your child, right?"

Lan'er remained silent. She knew in her heart that Fang Siyi was telling the truth. Luo Shaokun was a bully who only feared the strong and was narrow-minded. He would never let go of any grudge. She had pinched him so hard just now that she almost wanted to strangle him to death. When Luo Shaokun woke up, she was afraid that he would kill her first.

When she thought of the terrible consequences, Lan'er couldn't help but shiver all over, and the son in her arms was also scared.

"Mom, should we go find Dad and Mom?"

"No, no!" Lan'er reacted violently. She didn't want to see that man. At this moment, she just hoped that the man would never wake up.

Realizing that she had scared her son, Lan'er slowed down her voice and gently comforted her son.

"Yao'er, be good. Let's not look for your father. Let's... let's go ask your teacher for leave first. We'll talk about the future later."

"But..." Luo Yao wanted to say something, but after seeing the look in his mother's eyes, he pursed his lips and couldn't say anything.

At this time, Fang Chen had already checked the house inside and out, and after confirming that the family's personal belongings had been cleared out, he took the newly bought big lock and locked the room doors one by one.

Finally he walked out the door and locked it.

Fang Chen put all the keys away and put them in Fang Siyi's hand. Holding the heavy keychain in her hand, Fang Siyi felt mixed emotions.

"Little Daddy, let's go. We'll come and clean it up again when we have time in a few days."

"Well, okay, let's go."

The father and son were about to leave, but Luo Yao rushed forward and blocked the way of the group of people. He already understood that his house was robbed by these people. Not only did they rob the house, they also bullied his mother. They were not good people!

"Bad guys, you are not allowed to leave, give my house back to me!"

Lan'er didn't seem to expect her son to be so bold, and hurried forward to try to pull her son away. However, the boy didn't know where he got the strength from, and he refused to leave, demanding that Fang Siyi return the house.

Fang Siyi had explained too many times today and was a little tired, but she still stopped patiently and explained to Luo Yao.

"This house was originally my family's ancestral home. You were just staying in it temporarily for a while. Now it is just being returned to its original owner. Boy, go back and honor your mother. As for your father... let fate take its course."

Fang Chen, who was standing aside, lowered his eyes, looking at the younger brother in front of him who looked quite similar to Luo Shaokun, and thought, so this is the child that bastard had behind his little dad's back. He is really rude and uneducated.

"Uncle Fang, let's go. I'll have people patrol here every day, so you don't have to worry about anyone breaking in in the middle of the night." Song Chunlin said this to Fang Siyi, Lan'er and her son, and he wanted to use Lan'er and her son to say it to Luo Shaokun and his son.

Sure enough, this made the mother and son, who had originally held on to a glimmer of hope, immediately give up the idea of climbing over the wall.

Although they didn't know Song Chunlin, they could tell from the tone of his voice and the way he was dressed that he was not an ordinary person. Gu Fengyue beside him did not object to his words, which showed that this man had a certain status, at least much higher than his family.

Song Chunlin and Fang Chen surrounded Fang Siyi on the left and right as they left. Gu Fengyue followed behind. He nodded slightly, signaling the last two to stay and guard, in case Luo Shaokun came back to cause trouble.

Gu Fengyue was right. The first thing Luo Shaokun did after waking up was to go home and take care of Lan'er. However, Lan'er and the child had gone hiding somewhere, and Luo Shaokun didn't find anyone. When he returned to his doorstep, besides his personal belongings scattered all over the floor, there were also two door gods standing at the door.

The two men turned a deaf ear to Luo Shaokun's shouting to go in. Luo Shaokun still wanted to force his way in, so the two men simply drew their weapons and held them in front of them. Luo Shaokun wanted to go home, but didn't want to lose his life in the process. In the end, he had no choice but to curse and help Luo Shumo collect the usable things on the ground.

The father and son finally found a small courtyard to settle down. As for the matter of the shop, Luo Shaokun only found out about it the next day. Not only the shop, but all the land he had previously obtained from Fang Siyi was returned. Luo Shaokun went back to discuss it with Luo Amuo, and found out that not only had he lost his house, shop, and land, but even half of the money in his pocket was gone.

The sad news almost made Luo Amuo faint. When she thought about how Lan'er had run away with her grandson, and how she and her son ended up losing both their money and their lives, she felt even more heartbroken. Perhaps it was because the blow was too great, Luo Amuo soon fell ill and was bedridden.

After driving away the Luo family, Song Chunlin and the Fang family felt very refreshed. They went back that night and began planning how to renovate the old house. The Luo family had lived there for so many years, and the brothers Fang Chen and Fang Yi were thinking about redecorating the house inside and out. It would be best to have a major overhaul to erase all traces of the Luo family's residence.

Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue were not in a hurry to return to the government office. Song Chunlin could only stay here for a month at most. Excluding the time for going back and forth, he could barely stay until the end of February. Time was pressing, so the two naturally cherished this rare time alone.

The New Year had just passed in Bai Ta City, and the festive atmosphere had not yet completely dissipated, but the people had already begun preparing for spring ploughing. The winter here was much longer than in the capital. In the capital, people could start turning the soil for spring ploughing as soon as the beginning of spring came, but the temperature in Bai Ta City was still very low, and the land was frozen hard. No hoe could be used to dig the soil at all.

There were still a few empty plots of land that the Ministry of Agriculture had given to Song Chunlin. Since they had said they wanted to reserve a few plots for growing peppers and tomatoes, Fang Chen had already arranged for people to come here and clean up the land.

Fang Chen offered high wages and good food, so as soon as he appeared at the city gate, many people who needed work came forward to recommend themselves. Uncle Ding next to him was also an old acquaintance. He stood in front of Fang Chen and drove away some people who tried to take advantage of the situation.

"Go, go, go away. You know who it is, but why are you still coming forward? That someone is you. Stay away and don't bump into Brother Fang."

The person whose name was called smiled awkwardly and took a step back obediently, but still stretched his neck, praying that Fang Chen would choose him later.

Fang Chen did not have much good feelings towards such people. He had already seen a few familiar people, all of whom were uncles, aunts and grandmothers that he often hired. These people worked very hard, but they were relatively honest and could not compete with those in front of them, so they were squeezed out of the crowd.

Fang Chen immediately called out these people. Those who were crowded in the front were a little annoyed when they saw that Fang Chen did not choose them, but because Uncle Ding was present, they could not lose their temper, so they left with gloomy faces.

Uncle Ding shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, take General Lu with you next time you go out. Otherwise, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone. You've seen those guys. They're not easy to deal with. Just stay away from them if you see them on weekdays."

Fang Chen smiled gratefully at Uncle Ding, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that he knew what was going on, Uncle Ding felt a little relieved. After Fang Chen had selected enough people, he drove the car and took them to the fields to work.

The land they are going to clear today has been abandoned for several years, so before planting, they have to clean up the broken stones and large pieces of soil on it.

The work was not too tiring, and Fang Chen paid a few cents higher than the casual workers in the market. Although it was not much, it made those people happy for a long time.

Especially at noon, Fang Siyi and Huang Cuizhu from next door brought a big pot of rice. The fragrant big pot of rice was not only delicious but also full of oil. There were two dishes and one soup. The staple food was pancake, the dish was vegetarian, and the soup was seaweed egg drop soup. Although it was relatively vegetarian, the oil used for cooking was animal oil. Combined with the egg soup, it was a relatively nutritious meal.

These people often work with Fang Chen, so they all know that Fang Chen's master is generous and considerate. Every time they work with Fang's family, they can also have a bite to eat.

When Song Chunlin came over in the afternoon, less than one-tenth of the land had been cleared, which was a relatively fast progress. He asked Fang Chen, and he was estimated to take about ten days to clean up. In addition to stones, there were also some bushes and weeds, which were the most difficult to clean up.

"The grass in the Gobi Desert has deep roots, so it's hard to pull it all out by just pulling it out. We still need to use a hoe. But tomorrow we can build a fire ring and burn the weeds inside. This will also burn the insect eggs from previous years. This may make the cleanup faster."

Song Chunlin had no objection to Fang Chen's way of doing things. He simply inspected the situation and left. He had an appointment with Gu Fengyue to have dinner at the newly opened restaurant tonight.

When he returned to the house, the steward took him aside mysteriously and whispered to him that there were guests in the house.

"Guest? What guest?"

The steward lowered his voice even more: "Miss Lu's father, he came to ask for forgiveness."

Song Chunlin's eyes widened. "What? How dare he come here? Is he here to apologize? Or is he trying to force his daughter in again?"

The steward looked at Song Chunlin lovingly and said to him, "Don't worry, young master. Our Grand Marshal is not the kind of person who doesn't care about food. If Miss Lu really caught our Grand Marshal's eye, she would have been accepted into the mansion long ago. Why would it have to wait until now? You can rest assured. The Grand Marshal dares not and will not accept Miss Lu."

That's true. Song Chunlin curled his lips, but finally couldn't help releasing his mental power to "eavesdrop" on the conversation between the two.
