My place is on fire

Chapter 358 Condolences!

Shenjiazhuang is similar to Luojiazhuang.

Both villages are remote mountain villages with very backward economic conditions.

Even the central street in the village is a washboard road full of potholes.

Fortunately, Cullinan has good passability, high enough ground, and good adjustment.

Sitting in the car, Luo Rongning didn't feel much bumps.

Shen Xueli sat in the co-pilot seat, turned her head to look at Luo Rongning and said:
"When you said to go to my house just now, I hesitated not because you were not welcome, but because I was afraid that the washboard road in our village would ruin your luxury car bought for 900 million yuan."

Luo Yuning couldn't help but said, "What's the matter, don't you all think that the 900 million car is just paper?"

Shen Xueli smiled and said, "Why is paper so expensive? I think it's almost the same if it's made of gold."

While driving, Luo Rongning changed the subject and said, "By the way, Shirley, I brought something for your dad in the trunk. When I get to your door later, help me take it down together."

Shen Xueli was surprised and said: "You are already very happy to go to my parents. Why did you bring something with you? My mother ordered you not to take it down."

"So let me tell you in advance that everything has already been bought, so don't waste it."

Luo Yuning said: "It's not worth anything, they're just some common nutritional products.

We have been old classmates for so many years, and it is the first time to visit your house, so we must not go empty-handed.

When it got out, people thought I was so ignorant. "

"Then... alright." Shen Xueying didn't evade any more when she heard that what Luo Yuning said made sense.

While the two were chatting, under Shen Xueli's command, Luo Rongning parked the car outside a red brick house.

"It's here. Our family's conditions are not very good. Don't be disgusted when you go in later."

While Shen Xueli unfastened her seat belt, she gave Luo Rongning a vaccination first.

In recent years, Shen Xueli's father has been sick and bedridden all year round, and the whole family is supported by her mother alone.

Shen Xueli also finished college while working part-time.

She has just graduated from university for a year now, and the money she earns is not enough to pay off the family's foreign debts.

"I won't come if I don't like it."

While talking, Luo Rongning unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car.

"Luo, Mr. Luo! Why are you here!"

Shen Xueying heard the sound of a car outside at home, and when she went out, she saw Luo Rongning who pushed the door and got out of the car, and she was surprised.

"Xueying is also at home, just in time, come help me move some things."

Luo Rongning greeted Shen Xueying with a smile, and pressed some car keys with her fingers to open Cullinan's trunk.

"Okay!" Shen Xueying was still young after all, she didn't have that much thought when she first stepped into society, so she would do whatever Luo Rongning asked her to do.

Without asking what it was or why, Teng Teng Teng walked a few steps to the trunk and was ready to move things.

"You girl..." Seeing that her younger sister and Luo Rongning were so rude, Shen Xueli was also speechless for a while.

"Hey! Mr. Luo! Why are you here! Why are you bringing such a thing! You can't do it, you can't do it, take it back!"

"Xueli Xueying, why are you two so ignorant, quickly put the things back for President Luo!"

"Boss Luo has helped our family so much. We haven't thanked him yet, but instead took their things. How can there be such a reason in the world!"

After hearing the commotion outside, Shen Yanqiu, who went out immediately, saw the big bags and small bags that Luo Rongning and the sisters were holding, and hurried forward to stop them.

Luo Yuning smiled and said, "Aunt Shen, I bought these things specially for my uncle, so don't refuse."

Shen Yanqiu said: "Don't leave Boss Luo, there is nothing missing at home, these things must not be cheap, you should take them back quickly.

We are already very happy that you can come, how can we make you spend money. "

"Mom, this is also a wish from Yuning, so don't refuse."

Shen Xueli comforted him from the side: "He is such a big boss, if you ask him to take things to return the goods, he doesn't want to lose face."

Shen Yanqiu said: "What are you talking about, kid, Mr. Luo has helped our family so much..."

Luo Yuning interrupted from the side: "Aunt Shen, if you see me like this again, I won't go in."

"Don't, don't, don't! Okay, okay, I won't talk, don't talk, Mr. Luo, please come in."

When Shen Yanqiu heard that Luo Rongning was going to leave, she became anxious and stopped mentioning the gift.

"Mr. Luo, don't bring so many things with you next time. It's too expensive. Just come empty-handed."

"We are more than happy that you can come."

Shen Yanqiu invited Luo Rongning to come in, while chattering.

Luo Rongning followed the mother and daughter into the yard.

The courtyard of Shen Xueli's house is about 100 square meters, which is considered a small courtyard in the countryside.

There is a vine at the base of the west wall, and pink and red roses of various colors are placed under the base of the east wall.

The main house is still the kind of small three-room old house with girders and rafters.

The four talked and laughed and walked through the small courtyard, crossed a high threshold and entered the main room.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky had already begun to darken. The main room was completely dark due to poor lighting.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Yanqiu greeted her daughter, "Erya, hurry up and turn on the light."

Shen Xueying put down the gift box in her hand, trotted inside and pulled a light cord hanging from the wall.

With a click, a small dim light bulb lit up on the roof.

"Mr. Luo, please sit down quickly, the conditions at home are not good, I'm making you laugh."

After turning on the light, Shen Yanqiu enthusiastically moved a small stool and called Luo Rongning to sit down.

Luo Yuning put down the gift box in his hand and asked, "Aunt Shen, where is uncle in? I'll go and see uncle first."

"This... that's fine, Mr. Luo, come with me." Shen Yanqiu hesitated for a few seconds, finally nodded, and led Luo Rongning into the east room.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Yuning saw a middle-aged man with a haggard face, skinny and skinny lying on an old double bed.

Shen Xueying stepped forward and sat next to the man's head with a face of joy, and reached out to hold his hand: "Dad, we, Mr. Luo, are here to see you!"

Shen Xueli's father, Shen Yongshun, had a work-related accident while unloading stones at the marble factory in the town more than 10 years ago, and almost lost his life.

He was in a coma for more than ten days in the hospital. Although he saved his life in the end, because of the serious spinal injury, he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.

The marble factory where Shen Yongshun worked at that time was a black factory without any insurance protection.

For such a serious work-related injury, the boss only paid a symbolic 2 yuan to settle the matter.

The little money he paid was not enough for his medical expenses.

Shen Yanqiu went to the factory owner to reason, but on the way home, he was beaten with a sap, and almost broke himself into it.

The boss also asked her to warn her not to make any troubles if she didn't want her family to have trouble.

Ordinary people don't dare to fight with those rich and powerful black-hearted bosses.

For the safety of her own child, Shen Yanqiu had no choice but to break her teeth and swallow.

After that incident, I never dared to reason with the owner of the marble factory.

For so many years, Shen Yanqiu has really suffered a lot with the three children alone.

It wasn't until this year that sisters Shen Xueli and Shen Xueying went to work in the scenic spot that the family's financial situation improved.

"Luo... Boss Luo is here? Erya, quickly help me turn over."

When Shen Yongshun heard that it was Luo Rongning who was coming, he hurriedly called to Shen Xueying to help him turn over.

Shen Xueli and Shen Yanqiu's mother also hurried forward to help, and together they helped Shen Yongshun turn over.

After Shen Yongshun turned over, he looked at Luo Yuning with a guilty face and said, "Mr. Luo, I can't get out of bed, I can't entertain you... I've neglected you."

Luo Yuning said with a gentle face: "Uncle Shen, you are welcome, I just came to see you and see if there is anything at home that needs my help."

"You have already helped our family tremendously." Shen Yongshun said gratefully:
"We Da Ya and Er Ya work in your place and earn as much money as you do every month.

Thank you so much, thank you so much, our family's hard life finally has some hope. "

Luo Yuning smiled and said: "Uncle, don't say that, Xueli and Xueying's wages in our scenic spot are all earned by their own abilities.

If I want to say thanks, I also thank them for helping us develop customers in our scenic spots, otherwise our scenic spots would not have so many customers. "

Shen Yongshun choked up and said, "Boss Luo, you are a very good person, good people will be rewarded."

Luo Yuning said modestly: "Uncle won the award, I'm not a good person, I'm just an ordinary person..."

Shen Yongshun said: "No, no, you are Mr. Luo, although I lie on the bed at home every day and don't go out, I also know that our fellow villagers from all over the world praise you.

Everyone praises you as a kind person who is rarely seen in a thousand years, and praises you for your good character, good character, and good everywhere. "

"..." Luo Yuning was a little embarrassed to be praised by Shen Yongshun.

"Why don't we say that the gap between humans and humans is greater than the gap between humans and dogs!"

Shen Yanqiu sighed from the side: "They are also bosses, why is there such a big gap.

Mr. Luo is so nice and kind, Shen Jiandong, the bad guy who received a thousand knives, is about to bleed pus. "

As soon as Shen Jiandong was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room instantly became a little depressed, and both sisters Shen Yongshun and Shen Xueli fell silent.

"Shen Jiandong?" Luo Rongning felt a little familiar after hearing the name.

Suddenly he remembered why it sounded familiar.

The boss he often works with who supplies him with marble scraps is named Shen Jiandong.

And it was a coincidence that Shen Jiandong also belonged to Shenjiazhuang.

Luo Yuning looked at Shen Yanqiu and asked, "Aunt Shen, is this Shen Jiandong you are talking about the one who opened a marble factory in the town? What is it called Longxing Stone Factory?"

"Yes, that's him! That beast is not a human being!" Shen Yanqiu gritted his teeth when Shen Jiandong was mentioned.

"Speaking of which, our two families are still close. Your uncle had an accident in their stone factory, and he refused to pay for the medical expenses. I went to him to argue..."

Shen Yanqiu told Luo Rongning what happened back then with a look of indignation.

Finally, wiping away tears, he said, "Ah! Small households like ours don't care if they want money or have nothing to do. How dare we fight against their black-hearted bosses.

No matter how much he was wronged, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. "

Luo Rongning frowned slightly after listening to Shen Yanqiu's narration: "I have dealt with Shen Jiandong a few times, and I feel that I am quite a friendly person, why is he so dark behind his back?"

"Bull the soft and fear the hard! It's normal for people like them to be double-faced."

Shen Xueli sighed from the side: "When facing people who are more powerful than them, they tend to be intimidating, and when facing ordinary people like us, they are arrogant and ruthless."

"Uncle and aunt, if you want to sue Shen Jiandong, I can help you find the best lawyer."

Luo Yuning said: "Now is a society ruled by law, he dare not do anything to you, the more you are afraid of him, the more he will eat you and bully you."

"Ah? This... Sue him." When Shen Yongshun and Shen Yanqiu heard that they were going to sue Shen Jiandong, their hearts began to beat again.

Shen Yanqiu hesitated for a while, and then said: "Forget it, Mr. Luo, our family's life has finally been a little rushed. If Shen Jiandong retaliates, we will not be able to live this life again."

"Yes, Mr. Luo, thank you for your concern, but... as the old saying goes, bear with the calm for a while, and take a step back."

Shen Yongshun also said: "Our family has survived the most difficult period, and we don't want to have any major changes and hidden dangers."

"That's fine, I respect the choice of my uncle and aunt."

After all, Luo Yunning is an outsider, so it's not easy for others to make decisions:
"If you ever figure it out and want to sue him, you can always come to me and I will help you find the best lawyer."

"Thank you Mr. Luo, thank you." Shen Yongshun and Shen Yanqiu expressed their gratitude to Luo Rongning again.

Luo Yuning asked again: "Are there any difficulties in life, uncle and aunt? If you have any, you can tell me. If not, I will take Shirley away first. I will invite my classmates to have dinner together tonight."

"This... It's gone, it's gone!" Shen Yanqiu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally he didn't bother Luo Rongning.

After Shen Xueli and Shen Xueying went to work in the scenic spot, the economic conditions of their family improved, so Shen Yanqiu thought about demolishing their house and building a new house on the original site.

The old house in my family has been lived in for more than 30 years, and it seems that it is almost a dilapidated house. It is better to demolish it and rebuild it for renovation.

However, there is a policy in the village now, even if you want to build a house on your own homestead, you need to report to the village committee and then report to the village for approval.

Only after approval from the village can you start construction.

If there is no formality, it is an illegal construction, and the village has the right to demolish it for you.

Shen Jianming, the village head of Shenjiazhuang, is Shen Jiandong's elder brother.

Shen Xueli's family was at odds with Shen Jiandong's family, and Shen Jianming, a brother, naturally turned to his younger brother.

Whatever Shen Yanqiu asks Shen Jianming to do, he always promises to do it well on the surface, but he won't do it for you at all.

The approval procedures usually only take three to five days to come down.

It has been more than half a month since Shen Yanqiu entrusted Shen Jianming to do this matter, but there is no certainty.

When you ask him, he is still working on it, so let you wait patiently, and it will be nothing but nothing.

Luo Yuning saw Shen Yanqiu's entanglement in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Aunt Shen, you still have something to do.

Do you not trust me, or do you feel that my ability is limited and I cannot help you? "

Shen Yanqiu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, I won't bother you with any trivial matter."
