Chapter 356: 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 with potholes.

Fortunately, the Cullinan's passability is good, its terrain is high enough, and it's tuned well.

Luo Yanning didn't feel much bumps while sitting in the car.

Shen Xueli sat in the passenger seat, turned to look at Luo Yanning and said:

"When you said you were going to my house just now, I hesitated not because I didn't welcome you, but because I was afraid that the washboard road in our village would damage the luxury car you bought for eight to nine million yuan."

Luo Yanning couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's the matter, you don't all think that these eight or nine million cars are made of paper, right?"

Shen Xueli smiled and said: "Why is paper so expensive? I think it's made of gold and it's pretty good."

While driving, Luo Yanning changed the subject and said, "By the way, Shirley, I brought something for your dad in the trunk. You can help me get it together when we get to your door later."

Shen Shirley said in surprise: "My parents are already very happy that you can go there. Why did you bring something with you? My mother has specified that you are not allowed to take it down."

"So I'm telling you in advance, I've already bought everything, don't waste it."

Luo Yanning said: "It's not anything valuable, it's just some very ordinary nutritional supplements.

We have been classmates for so many years. It is our first time to visit your home, so we cannot go empty-handed.

When word spread, others thought I was ignorant. "

"Then...okay." Once Shen Xueying heard what Luo Yanning said made sense, she no longer shied away.

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

"This is it. The conditions in our house are not very good. Don't be dissatisfied when you go in later."

Shen Xueli unfastened her seat belt and gave Luo Yanning a vaccination first.

Shen Xueli's father has been ill and bedridden for many years, and the whole family has been supported by her mother alone.

Shen Xueli also completed college while working part-time.

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

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

As Luo Yanning said this, she unbuckled her seat belt and pushed 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. When she went out, she saw Luo Yanning pushing the door and getting out of the car, and her face was filled with surprise.

"Xueying is also at home. She came just in time to help me move some things."

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

"Okay!" Shen Xueying is still young after all. She has just entered society and doesn't have much thought. She will do whatever Luo Yanning tells her to do.

Without asking what it was or why, he walked to the trunk in a few steps and prepared to move things.

"You girl..." Shen Xueli was speechless when she saw her sister and Luo Yanning being so rude.

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

"Shirley Xueying, why are you two so ignorant? Hurry up and put the things back for Mr. Luo!"

"Mr. Luo has helped our family so much, but instead of thanking them, we take their things. How can there be such a reason in the world!"

Shen Yanqiu, who followed outside after hearing the commotion outside, saw the large and small bags held by Luo Yanning and her sisters and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Aunt Shen, I bought these things specifically for my uncle. You must not refuse."

Shen Yanqiu said: "Bye, goodbye, Mr. Luo, there is nothing missing at home. These things must not be cheap. You should take them back and return them as soon as possible.

We are already very happy that you can come, so how can we let you spend money? "

"Mom, this is also what Yan Ning wants, so don't refuse."

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

Shen Yanqiu said: "What are you kidding about? Mr. Luo has helped our family so much..."

Luo Yanning interrupted from the side: "Aunt Shen, if you keep seeing others like this, I won't go in."

"No, no, no, no! Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, Mr. Luo, please come in quickly."

When Shen Yanqiu heard that Luo Yanning was leaving, she became anxious and stopped mentioning the gift.

"Mr. Luo, don't bring so many things next time you come. It costs a lot of money. Just come empty-handed."

"We are happier than anything else that you can come."

Shen Yanqiu invited Luo Yanning in while chattering.

Luo Yanning followed the mother and daughter into the yard.

Shen Xueli's yard is about 100 square meters, which is considered a small yard in rural areas.

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

The main house is still an old house with three small rooms and beams and rafters.

The four of them walked through the small courtyard talking and laughing, crossed a high threshold and entered the main room.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was starting to get dark, and the main room was already pitch black due to poor lighting.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Yanqiu greeted his daughter: "Erya, hurry up and turn on the lights."

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

There was a click, and a small, dim light bulb lit up on the roof.

"Mr. Luo, please take a seat. The conditions at home are not good and I am making you laugh."

After turning on the lights, Shen Yanqiu enthusiastically moved a small stool and asked Luo Yanning to sit down.

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

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

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

Shen Xueying stepped forward and sat next to the man's head with a look of joy on her face, reaching out to hold his hand: "Dad, our Mr. Luo is here to see you!"

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

He was in a coma in the hospital for more than ten days. Although his life was saved in the end, the damage to his spine was so severe that 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 coverage.

When such a serious work-related injury occurred, the boss only paid a symbolic compensation of 20,000 yuan to settle the matter.

The small amount of compensation is not enough for his medical expenses.

Shen Yanqiu went to the factory owner to reason with him, but was beaten up on the way home, almost including himself.

The boss even asked someone to warn her that if she didn't want anything to happen to her family, she shouldn't do anything wrong.

How can ordinary people dare to fight with those rich and powerful evil bosses?

For the safety of his children, Shen Yanqiu had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow it.

Since that time, I never dared to go to the marble factory owner to reason with him.

Over the years, Shen Yanqiu has really suffered a lot with three children.

It was not until this year, when sisters Shen Xueli and Shen Xueying went to work in a scenic spot that their family's financial situation improved.

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

When Shen Yongshun heard that Luo Yanning was coming, he quickly called to Shen Xueying to help him turn over.

Shen Xueli and Shen Yanqiu also rushed forward to help, and together they helped Shen Yongshun turn over.

After Shen Yongshun turned over, he looked at Luo Yanning with a guilty look on his face and said, "Mr. Luo, I can't get out of bed right now, and I can't entertain you... I'm neglecting you."

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

"You have already done a great help to our family." Shen Yongshun said with a grateful face:

"We, Daya and Erya, work at your place and earn as much money as you do in a month.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Our family’s hard days finally have some hope. "

Luo Yanning smiled and said, "Uncle, don't say that. Shirley and Xueying earned their wages from working in our scenic area through their own abilities.

If I want to express my gratitude, I would also like to thank them for helping our scenic area develop customers, otherwise our scenic area would not have so many customers. "

Shen Yongshun choked up and said: "Mr. Luo, you are a good person. Good people will be rewarded."

Luo Yanning said modestly: "Uncle, I'm sorry. I'm not a good person. I'm just a common person..."

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

Everyone praises you as a good person who is rare to see in a thousand years. They praise you for your good character, good character, and good everything. "

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

"The gap between this person and a human is greater than the gap between a human and a dog!"

Shen Yanqiu sighed at the side: "We are both bosses, so why is the gap so big?

Mr. Luo is so nice and kind, and the bad guy Shen Jiandong, who had been stabbed a thousand times, was almost bleeding with pus. "

When Shen Jiandong was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room instantly became a little depressing, and sisters Shen Yongshun and Shen Xueli fell silent.

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

Suddenly he remembered why it felt familiar.

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

And what a coincidence, Shen Jiandong is also from Shenjiazhuang.

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

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

"Speaking of which, our two families are somewhat related. Your uncle had an accident at their stone factory. He even refused to pay for medical expenses. I went to him to argue..."

Shen Yanqiu told Luo Yanning what happened back then with an indignant look.

Finally, wiping away tears, he said: "Oh! We, a small family like us, don't care whether we have money or connections. How can we dare to fight against their black-hearted bosses?

No matter how much grievance you suffer, you can only break your teeth and swallow it. "

Luo Yanning frowned slightly after listening to Shen Yanqiu's narration: "I have dealt with Shen Jiandong several times, and I feel like he is a very friendly person. Why is he so dark behind his back?"

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong! It's so normal for people like them to be double-dealing."

Shen Shirley sighed at the side: "When facing people who are more powerful than them, they tend to be arrogant, but when they face ordinary people like us, they act showy and ruthless."

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

Luo Xuning said: "We live in a society ruled by law now. He dare not do anything to you. The more you fear him, the more he will take advantage of you and bully you."

"Ah? This... sue him." Shen Yongshun and Shen Yanqiu began to worry again when they heard that they were going to sue Shen Jiandong.

Shen Yanqiu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Forget it, Mr. Luo. Our family finally has some hope. If we are retaliated by Shen Jiandong again, we will not be able to live like this again."

"Yes, Mr. Luo, thank you for your concern, but... As the old saying goes, if you are patient for a while, the wind will be calm, and if you take a step back, the sky will be wide open."

Shen Yongshun also said, "We have survived the most difficult days in our family. We don't want any major changes and hidden dangers."

"Okay, I respect the choice of uncle and aunt."

Luo Xuning is an outsider after all, and it is not easy for him to make decisions:

"If you ever think it through and want to sue him, you can always find me, and I will help you find the best lawyer."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo, thank you." Shen Yongshun and Shen Yanqiu were grateful to Luo Xuning again.

Luo Xuning asked again: "Auntie, do you have any difficulties in life? If so, please tell me. If not, I will take Shirley away first. I have an appointment with my classmates to have dinner tonight."

"This... no more, no more!" Shen Yanqiu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally didn't bother Luo Xuning.

After Shen Xueli and Shen Xueying went to work in the scenic area, the family's economic conditions improved, so Shen Yanqiu thought about demolishing his house and building a new one on the original site.

The old house at home has been lived in for more than 30 years. It is almost a dangerous house. It is better to demolish it and rebuild it than to renovate it.

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

Only after the township approves it can you start construction.

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

Shen Jianming, the village chief of Shenjiazhuang, is Shen Jiandong's biological brother.

Shen Xueli's family and Shen Jiandong's family don't get along, so Shen Jianming, as the elder brother, naturally sides with his younger brother.

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

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

It has been more than half a month since Shen Yanqiu asked Shen Jianming to do this, but there is still no definite news.

Whenever you ask him, he always says that he is working on it and asks you to wait patiently, but waiting is just in vain.

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

Do you not trust me, or do you think I am limited in ability and can't help you?"

Shen Yanqiu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, it's just a small matter, I won't bother you, Mr. Luo."
