Niu Dachun and his family enjoyed a pleasant meal at the restaurant for more than two hours.
After dinner, Niu Dachun's family took a leisurely stroll around the county town.
This was the first time in four years that Niu Dachun had experienced such comfort and ease.
Indeed, Niu Dachun's happiest moments were spent with his family.
Four years have passed, and Cangning County has undergone many changes, with a central shopping plaza built and high-rise buildings springing up everywhere.
Many streets have even been completely transformed.
Niu Dachun was filled with countless emotions.
The elder brother and sister-in-law walked with their heads down, the joy from just moments ago long gone from their faces.
Looking at the bustling scene in Cangning County, Niu Dawu, Miao Runfang, and Zhang Cuixian felt completely out of place.
People from the mountains can never truly integrate into reinforced concrete.
Niu Dawu let out a long sigh.
"Da Chun, I feel like I've let you down a bit."
"Why are you saying this, brother?"
"My troubles are all my own doing. I was foolish enough to believe Wan Yanru's lies, which led to my imprisonment."
"Da Chun, that's not what my brother meant."
"This is our home in Zhuxi Village."
"Once you came out, everything was gone."
“My older brother can’t afford a house in the county town either. He’s currently living in a cramped rented room with your sister-in-law and Lanlan.”
“The house is small; it was barely enough for the three of us. Now that Mom has been discharged from the hospital, the house has become even more cramped.”
"Damn it, damn it all!!!"
"I wish my leg hadn't been bitten by a snake and become crippled."
Niu Dawu said with self-reproach.
Niu Dachun knew that his elder brother didn't mean to drive him away.
My brother is speaking the truth, and the truth is that this family desperately needs money right now.
"Da Wu, none of this is your fault. Blame me. If..."
"Alright! Let's stop this self-blaming drama."
"Brother, let's go home now."
"I can heal your leg."
"Really?" Niu Dawu looked at Niu Dachun with surprise.
"certainly!"
"I have no reason to lie to you."
Niu Dachun's family had no money left for a taxi, so they slowly walked home.
Along the way, the eldest brother and Dachun talked about the hardships they had endured over the past four years.
In fact, what hurt the eldest brother the most was selling the old house in his hometown to Wang Dabiao.
Because the Chinese people have always valued the idea of returning to one's roots; no matter where you are, you will eventually return to your hometown, to the land where you were born.
Niu Dawu knew in his heart that although his mother didn't say it, she must also want to go back to the countryside to live.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely buy back the homestead for him."
Niu Dawu gave a wry smile upon hearing Niu Dachun's words.
How could Niu Dawu not know that Niu Dachun had just been released from prison and had no money? Moreover, people with criminal records like Niu Dachun could hardly find any good jobs and could only work on construction sites.
The most difficult one to deal with is Wang Dabiao from Zhuxi Village. Wang Dabiao is not the kind of person who will obediently return the homestead if you give him money.
Niu Dachun's family walked for more than an hour before returning to their cramped rented room.
When they saw their door smashed, Niu Dawu and Miao Runfang stood there stunned.
"How could this happen? How did the door get smashed up?"
Niu Lanlan glanced at Niu Dachun, unsure of what to say.
"Brother, are there any thieves around here?"
"Wooden doors like yours are not sturdy to begin with, and they can be easily smashed open."
"When I passed by downstairs just now, the door of that house was also smashed. It was very likely done by a thief."
Miao Runfang said.
"Da Chun is right."
"The security situation in this area is indeed not very good."
“There are a lot of thugs.”
The thugs Miao Runfang was referring to were the Green Dragon Gang.
Niu Dawu forced a smile and said.
"My family is already so poor, and we still got robbed. I don't know what to say."
"I bet even a thief would leave in tears if they saw my house in this state."
"But how am I going to explain this door to the landlord?"
Just then, a clicking sound came from the hallway. It was probably the sound of high heels clicking on the floor.
A rich perfume scent immediately filled the air.
"Oh no, just what I feared has come to pass," Niu Dawu said helplessly.
Miao Runfang also showed a troubled expression.
"What's wrong with my brother?"
"The landlord is here!!!"
Niu Dachun looked toward the stairwell, where a graceful woman appeared.
The woman had shoulder-length blonde curly hair, thin eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and red lips. Her fair skin was like silky milk.
She was wearing a pale yellow cardigan dress printed with many small flowers. The sight of her ample bosom made Niu Dachun feel a burning sensation in his nose.
A brown LV bag exuded the air of a wealthy woman, and her presence instantly transformed this old building.
This woman is Niu Dawu's landlady, Su Beixue! The tenants here all call her Boss Su, because this whole building belongs to Su Beixue.
Su Beixue was also carrying a blue plastic bag. The plastic bag contained many expensive Chinese herbal medicines.
Niu Dachun only looked away awkwardly when his eyes met Su Beixue's.
In the past four years, Niu Dachun has not seen such a beautiful woman.
