Chapter 41 Because I owe you



"What do you mean, 'eat mine or eat yours'?"

The balding middle-aged man frowned slightly, not reacting for a moment.

What do you think?

Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "What boastful words did you make? Don't you remember them?"

"Now that my friend has rented a house in Hejia Village, it's time for you to keep your promise."

The balding middle-aged man's face flushed red, "I...I..."

He instinctively wanted to curse and even fight back, to teach Chen Feng a lesson.

How dare a mere kid force himself to eat shit?

Are you tired of living?

But then the bald middle-aged man thought again and swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.

Despite his shabby clothes, Chen Feng spent a fortune to buy three properties in Hejia Village in one go.

This suggests that he must be a rich young master.

The balding middle-aged man was adept at bullying Li Xiaogang, who had no money or power.

After all, he could be considered a local strongman in Hejia Village.

A poor student who just came to the ancient city from out of town, isn't he free to do whatever he wants with him?

But she was at odds with a rich young man...

The balding middle-aged man lost his confidence.

Ultimately, he was just a villager.

Going head-on with Chen Feng, who comes from a wealthy family, is like a sheep entering a wolf's den—it's courting death.

"I'm not trying to be mean."

Chen Feng glanced at the bald middle-aged man and said in a teasing tone, "You're such a grown man, why are you still acting like a child, going around scamming people for food and drinks?"

"Even though men are said to be boys until they die, you can't still be wearing open-crotch pants when you're over forty, can you?"

Aren't you ashamed?

Upon hearing this, the bald middle-aged man's face turned a purplish-brown, like a wilted eggplant, dull and ashen.

Chen Feng is rich and powerful, but why is he so petty and vindictive, attacking my face from both sides?

"I'll remember you. We'll see what happens next!"

After uttering a harsh remark, the bald, middle-aged man turned and went home, slamming the door shut.

no way.

He dares not hit him, and he can't win an argument with him, so what is he doing there?

Are you waiting for Chen Feng's next wave of verbal attacks?

"Chen Feng, you don't need to stand up for me."

Li Xiaogang's expression was somewhat complicated, showing gratitude for Chen Feng's help but also deep concern. "You've offended a village bully. Your future days are probably not going to be easy."

"Him? He can be considered a village bully?"

Chen Feng curled his lip, looking disdainful. "In my opinion, he's at most a jerk!"

Just because I offended a villager from Hejia Village who only bullies college students from other places, does my life become difficult?

What a joke!

Do you really think you've been reborn as a fake?

However, Chen Feng's imposing and domineering presence failed to impress Li Xiaogang.

Li Xiaogang's face was still filled with apprehension.

Chen Feng did not insist on this.

In a sense, Chen Feng in his previous life was also a kindred spirit of Wang Zigang.

A happy childhood can heal a lifetime, while an unhappy childhood requires a lifetime to heal.

Chen Feng understood that changing Li Xiaogang's personality was not something that could be done overnight.

"Let's go."

Chen Feng raised his arm and put it on Li Xiaogang's shoulder. "I'll take you to see your new home."

After saying that, he put his arm around Li Xiaogang and walked into the house across the street.

Although the house was old and dilapidated, it was spacious and equipped with all the necessary household appliances, such as a water heater, television, and washing machine.

"Chen Feng, do you own three houses like this?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Feng blinked and made up a story: "How could that be? I'm just a security guard who looks after the landlord's property."

"The landlord is out of town and won't be back for a while, so you can stay here without worry."

Despite not being a local resident of the ancient city, he owns three properties in Hejia Village.

how come?

It can only be bought.

So here comes a new question: since you have the money to buy a house, why not buy an apartment in the city center, but instead buy a house in an urban village?

It wasn't that Chen Feng intentionally deceived his good brother, but rather that he genuinely didn't know how to explain it to Li Xiaogang.

Did he have to tell Li Xiaogang that he was a reincarnated person who knew that Hejia Village was about to be demolished?

If he really said that, Li Xiaogang would probably think he's crazy.

"So, are you satisfied with this house?"

Chen Feng subtly changed the subject.

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

Li Xiaogang nodded repeatedly.

Let alone in an unfamiliar ancient city, even in his hometown, where Li Xiaogang was struggling financially, he had never lived in a better house than this.

"This is three hundred yuan, which will be my rent for this month."

As Li Xiaogang spoke, he pulled out three hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into Chen Feng's hand without saying a word.

What are you doing?

Chen Feng pushed Li Xiaogang's hand away and took two steps back. "Didn't we agree on a rent of one hundred yuan?"

Li Xiaogang said sincerely, "These days, a hundred yuan isn't even enough for a meal at a restaurant, let alone renting a place."

"I am already extremely grateful that you took me in when I was desperate. How could I possibly let you suffer financial loss?"

"I'm short of money, and this is all I can give you right now. I hope you won't mind."

Seeing that Li Xiaogang was still trying to stuff money into his hand, Chen Feng put on a stern face and said, "Old Li, if you keep going like this, I'm not renting the house to you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogang immediately stopped what he was doing, and his eyes instantly became uneasy.

"Don't worry, I was just kidding."

Chen Feng quickly changed his tune, saying, "I'd like to do a business deal with you. Are you interested?"

"What kind of business?"

“I rented the room on the east side of the third floor of No. 113 Hejia Village.”

Chen Feng took out his spare key to his residence and handed it to Li Xiaogang. "But I don't want to stay there anymore. In half an hour, go and help me move my luggage and bedding here."

"I won't pay you for the moving expenses, and you don't need to pay me rent either, how about that?"

Li Xiaogang looked at the keys in his hand, then at Chen Feng, "Are you serious?"

"Even more real than pearls."

Li Xiaogang pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

"Chen Feng, this is the first time we've met, right? Why are you helping me in every way?"

Li Xiaogang wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that Chen Feng was indirectly wiping out his rent.

From the moment his father passed away, Li Xiaogang's life was filled with bullying, ridicule, and mockery.

It has been like this for so many years.

Li Xiaogang had become so accustomed to it that he felt being treated coldly was the norm in life.

That's just how people are.

They are prejudiced against the poor and favor the rich, praising the powerful and belittling the weak.

But Chen Feng, a complete stranger, went to great lengths to treat her well.

Why?

"Because... I owe you."

"???"
