Siheyuan: I just want to live

When Hou Debang heard that Chen Feng still had something to say, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as it's not about murder or arson, I'll help you with whatever I can!"

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang say this, he felt relieved and expressed his thoughts.

"Brother Hou, you know that rabbits love to dig holes. In the past few months, my brothers have found that many rabbits have escaped. So, I would like to ask you to help order a batch of stone slabs."

When Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's request, he frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Chen! Your request is not easy to fulfill!"

After hearing this, Chen Feng quickly said, "Brother Hou, what should we do? Without the slate, all my rabbits will run away!"

Hou Debang thought for a while and suggested: "Brother Chen! Why don't you use steel plates instead of stone slabs!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately shook his head and refused: "Brother! Steel plates won't work! They have to be buried underground, and the steel plates will corrode and rust! Then the rabbit will run away again!"

Hou Debang's brows furrowed even deeper at this time.

Seeing that he was still frowning, Chen Feng felt a little anxious, so he quickly said

"Brother, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is not unsolvable. I know you have a way to get 30,000 square meters of 5-centimeter-thick stone slabs. As long as you are willing to help, we can compensate you in other ways. For example..."

At this point, Chen Feng paused, then continued: "We can sell you 10,000 rabbits by the end of next month."

Chen Feng's words instantly lit up Hou Debang's eyes. With excitement flashing in his eyes, he asked eagerly, "Really? Can you really sell me 10,000 rabbits by the end of next month?"

Chen Feng nodded and answered affirmatively: "Of course it is true! However, the prerequisite is that you have to help us get 30,000 square meters of 5-centimeter-thick stone slabs."

In fact, Chen Feng knew very well that with his current ability and resources, it was almost impossible to get so many stone tablets in a short period of time. However, if he could get help from Hou Debang, there might be a glimmer of hope.

For Hou Debang, 10,000 rabbits was undoubtedly an extremely attractive deal. After all, the steel mill needed meat to supplement the nutrition of the workers.

Therefore, when Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's offer, he was immediately tempted. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, when he thought about the 10,000 rabbits that were about to be in his hands, he felt that everything was worth a try.

Hou Debang thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! I'll help you get the slate, and you don't have to pay a penny! But before the end of next month, you must prepare 10,000 rabbits for me!"

Hearing Hou Debang's promise, Chen Feng was delighted and quickly responded: "Brother Hou, don't worry, you will definitely get one of the 10,000 rabbits!"

Chen Feng didn't dare to deceive Hou Debang. After all, he was still hoping to make a fortune by relying on these rabbits!

Hou Debang then said, "Brother Chen Feng, do you need any help with anything else? If not, we will go back first. It is already dark and it is getting late."

Chen Feng quickly replied: "There's nothing else, just these two small things. Thank you for your hard work, brother! I'll see you off!"

Hou Debang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to see me off, we'll see you later!"

After saying that, Hou Debang turned and walked towards the truck, while Chen Feng followed him and walked him to the truck.

When the others saw Hou Debang getting on the truck, they all climbed on board. With the roar of the engine, the truck started slowly.

Chen Feng watched the two cars go away. After confirming that they had left the scrap yard, he locked the door again and returned to his residence to sleep.

The next day was Saturday. Since he had to wait for Hou Debang's arrival, Chen Feng did not go to the mountains as usual this week.

The courtyard was still under renovation, so Chen Feng had no plans to go back.

Throughout the entire Saturday, Chen Feng only wandered around Sijiu City, and then stayed obediently in the scrap yard without going anywhere far away.

Finally, it was Sunday afternoon. When Chen Feng was sitting in the scrap yard, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He quickly stood up, walked out of the room, and looked towards the door. As expected, he saw Hou Debang banging hard on the door of the scrap yard.

Chen Feng quickly ran over, opened the door, and welcomed Hou Debang in.

As soon as Hou Debang saw Chen Feng, he started complaining to him.

"Brother Chen, you are the only one in the entire scrapyard right now, why are you still locking the door? It will be so inconvenient for you to travel!"

Chen Feng smiled slightly, and then explained, "I'm the only one here, so I locked the door! Otherwise, if someone comes to sell scrap, do you think I should accept it or not?"

"If I accept it, I'm just a security guard and I don't know the purchase price. If I don't accept it, how can we serve the people?"

"So I'd better lock the door! Besides, I still have the key. If I want to go out, I can open it anytime!"

After hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Hou Debang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was for a moment.

He shook his head, thinking that maybe he was overthinking it. Since he couldn't figure it out, he would stop worrying about it.

He simply changed the subject and said to Chen Feng with a smile: "Chen Feng, here are the title deed and keys to the house. They are all here. I'll give them to you now."

As he spoke, Hou Debang took out these things from the briefcase he carried with him and handed them to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the deed and took a quick look at the contents. After confirming that it was correct, he looked up and said gratefully to Hou Debang: "Thank you, Brother Hou! I am really sorry to bother you this time."

Hou Debang waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that you were welcome, and replied with a smile: "Why are you being so polite to me? This is just a piece of cake."

Chen Feng still insisted on expressing his gratitude: "No matter what, I still have to thank you for your help, brother. After all, speaking also takes energy and time."

Hou Debang couldn't help laughing after hearing what Chen Feng said. Chen Feng was also infected by his laughter and laughed along with him. The atmosphere between the two became relaxed and pleasant.

Hou Debang laughed a few times and then said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, everything you asked me to do has been done. I have already prepared the yard for you and arranged the stone slabs. Now where do you want to send these stone slabs?"

Chen Feng heard his question, thought for a while, and had an answer in his mind. Then, he took out a key to the yard and handed it to Hou Debang, saying

"Brother Hou, please deliver the slabs to the new yard. This scrapyard is a public place after all, so we have to be careful in what we do to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

Hou Debang listened to Chen Feng's words and nodded repeatedly to show his agreement. He took the key and replied, "Okay, then I'll go back first. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for people to deliver stone slabs over there one after another."

After saying that, Hou Debang left.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Feng quickly said, "Brother Hou, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

Seeing that Chen Feng wanted to keep him, Hou Debang thought he had something else to say, so he asked, "Brother Chen, do you have anything else to say?"

Chen Feng smiled and said to Hou Debang, "Brother Hou, I said a long time ago that I would treat you to a drink. Today I specially prepared a few dishes. Let's have a good drink together!"

Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay! Let's listen to Brother Chen today! Let's have a good drink here!"

After hearing Hou Debang's agreement, Chen Feng took him to his residence and said to him, "Brother Hou, wait here for a while. I'll go and bring the food over!"

Then Chen Feng left his residence and came to the tea room. He quickly entered the space, put the fish, rabbit and chicken on a plate, and quickly fried a plate of eggs on the gas stove, making four dishes.

Then Chen Feng brought the dishes out of the space. After all the dishes were served, Chen Feng took out two bottles of tiger bone wine from the space under the cover of the cabinet.

Hou Debang looked at the four dishes on the table. To be honest, he didn't eat like this at home. The only time he ate better was when he was entertained at the steel mill.

Seeing that all the dishes were served, Hou Debang said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, thank you for your expense!"

While Hou Debang was talking, Chen Feng opened the wine. He poured a glass for Hou Debang first, and then poured a glass for himself.

Then he said, "What's the big deal? Brother Hou is staying here today just to give me face. Everything else is just a small matter!"

When Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, he picked up the wine on the table and said to Chen Feng, "Just for what Brother Chen said, I'll drink first!"

Chen Feng also quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother, let me drink with you!"

Then the two of them finished the wine in their glasses. Chen Feng quickly picked up the chopsticks and said to Hou Debang, "Brother Hou, come and eat! If you don't eat now, it will get cold!"

Hou Debang also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. After savoring it carefully, he praised Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, I didn't expect that your cooking skills are not worse than the chef of our steel mill!"

Chen Feng quickly denied, "Brother Hou, you are too kind. I am far inferior to the chef in your steel mill! Let's not talk about this anymore and continue drinking and eating!"

After that, Chen Feng and his friends drank until sunset, and the two men finished all the wine that Chen Feng brought out.

Chen Feng drank more than 600 grams of wine and passed out. Hou Debang drank more than 100 grams of wine, but he remained calm.

Hou Debang finally put Chen Feng on the bed, then left the scrap yard and rode away on his bicycle. Before leaving, he helped Chen Feng lock the door of the scrap yard.

Hou Debang, who was riding his bicycle steadily home, couldn't help but shook his head. He really didn't expect that Chen Feng's alcohol tolerance would be so poor!
