Financial crisis, big salary cuts, fresh graduates fighting fiercely for a job paying only 1,200 yuan. Fresh graduate Chen Feng couldn't stand the gap and became a loafer at home, smoking and d...
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong!" Chen Feng rushed over, his eyes full of worry.
Liu Ping was sleeping when Chen Feng startled her awake. She opened her eyes with a shiver, and when she saw it was Chen Feng, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
"You brat, you scared me to death! Why are you yelling like that?"
Liu Ping grumbled and took a deep breath. Chen Feng's sudden action startled her so much that her heart pounded.
"I don't know. Didn't they say you got into a fight with Sun Ling and were so badly beaten that you couldn't stand up and had to be carried back by Li Dazhuang?"
Chen Feng scratched his head in confusion. Liu Ping didn't seem to have any injuries.
"That's nonsense. When did this happen? These people in the village don't spread rumors. I did get into a fight with Sun Ling this morning, but we were pulled apart. I didn't even lay a hand on her," Liu Ping said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, that's good. I thought you got beaten up while I wasn't home." Chen Feng was relieved and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
"I was waiting for you at home, wondering when you'd be back so I could cook. But I got sleepy while waiting and thought I'd take a nap. You scared me half to death."
"Are you hungry? I'll heat up some food for you," Liu Ping said.
"OK."
The two went into the outer room, where Liu Ping heated up the dishes while telling him what had happened that day.
Chen Feng was furious after hearing this. Did this old woman have no shame? What a piece of trash.
"Call Mrs. Zhang's son and ask him what happened," Liu Ping said.
“Okay, I’ll ask.” Chen Feng took out his phone and called Mrs. Zhang’s son.
If you really sold to two places in one location, then this matter is definitely not over. Don't think that you can get away with it just because you left. Even if Chen Feng goes to the city, he will have to give him an explanation today.
The call was quickly connected, and Chen Feng talked to his son for about twenty minutes, during which he also asked Mrs. Zhang about the situation before finally understanding what had happened.
"That's how it is. That Sun Ling is shameless. I didn't sell to two different places at once," said Mrs. Zhang's son.
"Okay, okay, I understand. You go ahead and do your work, I'll call you again if anything comes up," Chen Feng said, and hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Liu Ping, who was listening from the side and only partially understood, couldn't help but ask.
“This land was not suitable for Old Mrs. Zhang to cultivate back then. Sun Ling said, ‘If you can’t cultivate it, then give me a piece of it, otherwise it will just be left to fallow.’”
“After all, they are neighbors. Mrs. Zhang thought that since the land was just sitting there, she might as well let him plant it.”
"Then Sun Ling planted it for more than ten years. In recent years, Sun Ling could not eat that much, and she could not sell it, so she stopped planting it."
"As soon as she saw that we were buying a house, she rushed over and occupied the land, thinking that as long as she kept farming the land, it would still be hers. She's so shameless."
Chen Feng put down his phone, picked up his chopsticks, and said.
"Who is this person who put a fence on our land? Go and explain things clearly tomorrow and get the land back." Liu Ping couldn't just give the land away for free, especially now that she knew it was her land, so she spoke up.
“I have to go. Tomorrow I’ll throw away all the fences. I’m spoiling her bad habits.” Chen Feng naturally wouldn’t swallow this insult and said.
"But even if you go, don't get angry and start hitting people. If you do, your mood will change," Liu Ping cautioned.
"Don't worry, am I that impulsive? Let's reason with each other and talk things out."
Chen Feng looked at his mother speechlessly, wondering what she thought of him.
The next morning…
"Damn it, you old hag, have you no shame? I already asked, and they said they'd give you their seed for free back then. When did they ever say they'd give it to you? Now you can call Old Mrs. Zhang over to confront them, do you dare!"
Chen Feng pointed at Sun Ling and cursed angrily. Liu Ping had a feeling that things were not going well, so she quickly pulled Chen Feng away. Why does this seem different from yesterday's plan?
"You little brat, who are you calling names? I've been farming here for so many years, who says it's not mine? I've been using fertilizer and pesticides all these years, isn't that money?"
"You think you can just come here and plant whatever you want? There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to go back, fine, give me back all the money you've spent on fertilizers and pesticides over the years!"
Sun Ling also pointed at Chen Feng and angrily cursed him, while her son pulled her away from the side.
"Give me back the money for seeds and fertilizer. Do you want a big dick? I told you to scatter it in the field. You were just being cheap, scattering it so you could grow vegetables and sell them for money."
"I didn't say your lousy fertilizer polluted my land. I'm already being generous by paying you to lease my land, let alone compensate you. You're a big jerk!" Chen Feng retorted angrily.
"Fine, you won't pay for it, huh? Then I'll take this job. We'll talk about it when I've recouped the cost of the fertilizer and pesticides. Let's see what you can do to me then!" Sun Ling sneered, pointing at Chen Feng.
"Fine, I'll let you plant, you son of a bitch, I'll let you plant! I'm not planting on this land today, and nobody else is going to plant here either!"
"A fence, huh? You motherfucker!"
After cursing, Chen Feng grabbed a pickaxe from the yard, ran to the garden, and started digging and kicking at the fence that Sun Ling's house had built.
The fence was made of thin iron, hollow in the middle, and of poor quality. Chen Feng could bend it with a kick and dig a hole in it with a pickaxe.
"Hey, stop right there, you little brat, are you out of your mind?!"
Sun Ling was extremely anxious when she saw Chen Feng vandalizing her newly bought fence. She rushed over to pull Chen Feng away.
But even if she's fat, can she still be as strong as a young man?
Even with her holding him back, Chen Feng still managed to kick through almost all the fences, causing them to fall to the ground, all swaying precariously.
The villagers who were watching rushed forward and pulled them apart.
"Chen Feng, you just wait! Today, not only will you have to pay for my seeds and fertilizer, but you'll also have to pay for my fence!"
"Otherwise, this isn't over!" Sun Ling forcefully pushed aside the villagers trying to mediate, her voice shrill as she screamed.
"I'll pay your mother's ass! You want me to pay you back? Maybe in your next life, when you're dead you'll have that chance!" Chen Feng shook off Zheng Ping, who was holding him, and pointed at Sun Ling forcefully.
"Try not paying me back, and see if I'll let you off the hook. I'll make sure you can farm this land in peace!"
"I'm not going to pay you back! You won't even let me plant in peace! You wanted me to pay you back for the pesticides? Tomorrow I'll buy two bottles of pesticides and spray them all over your land. I'll pay you back in one go!" Chen Feng roared.
Before the argument could last long, Chen Feng and Sun Ling's argument escalated, and the villagers persuaded them to separate.
The main reason was that Liu Ping and Sun Ling's son were afraid that things would escalate and a real fight would break out, so they both pulled back together.
Both groups of people quickly went home after being persuaded by others. After returning home, Chen Feng first went to the refrigerator and got an ice pop to eat.
He'd been cursing all morning, plus kicking the fence, which made him a little thirsty.
