Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 463: Dumb Stepfather - Returning to the Village to Retire

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The shop went from being empty to being full, and from being sold out to being sold out again. Now, Zhou Leng, who is fifty years old, decided to return to the village to build a house for retirement and enjoy his old age of growing vegetables and flowers.

Before leaving, Zhou Leng brought gifts and fruits to visit his master again. Now his mentor is over eighty years old. In this life, Zhou Leng does not regard his master as his father like Wang Shancheng did in the past, but he still visits the two of them from time to time. Although they are not that close, they can be regarded as a master and disciple with affection.

Ten years later, Zhou Leng heard about Zhou Juan's story from his master.

The master's wife, wearing reading glasses, slowly told Zhou Leng the ending of Yang Dali and Du Juan, and a pot of melodrama attacked Zhou Leng.

Ever since the last time they had a fight outside the store and called the police, Yang Dali has been unwilling to give up and wants to get back the money he spent on Zhou Juan over the years. However, the ambiguous conversations between the two and Zhou Juan's deliberate guidance turned these financial transactions into gifts.

Yang Dali lost both his money and his life, and was filled with anger and grievance, so he began to harass Zhou Juan. He spread the so-called "deeds" of Zhou Juan everywhere, destroying her reputation. Yang Dali also found Zhou Juan's new boyfriend and ruined his job.

As a result, the new boyfriend lost his source of income, and he has two children and parents at home who are waiting for him to pay for their living.

This entanglement made the relationship between the three people more and more complicated, and in the end it strangely developed into the two men somehow reaching a consensus and deciding to imprison Zhou Juan and force her to sell herself to pay off the debt.

Zhou Juan would not compromise. She was unwilling to be treated like this. During her imprisonment, she had been looking for an opportunity to escape. Finally, she managed to escape by some unknown means and went to the police station to report the crime.

Regardless of the reasons, the two men's actions constituted illegal detention, rape, forced prostitution and illegal prostitution, and even the dissemination of obscene videos, and they were punished for multiple crimes. They also changed from roommates to cellmates. It can only be said that the development of the matter was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhou Leng stared at his master's wife in amazement. He knew that his expression must be very shocked at this moment.

The master seemed impatient and said: "Why do you always mention these things? It pollutes my ears."

The master's wife curled her lips. She knew that he was unhappy because he told his beloved disciple about the other's nephew's scandal. She pushed her reading glasses and said unceremoniously: "They all did this, and I can't say anything. I told Shancheng to be careful. There are many female comrades now, and their work styles are not good."

Zhou Leng nodded slightly, then typed on his phone to say that he had sold his shop and planned to return home to retire.

The master's wife said with concern, "Why do you want to go home to retire? It's so inconvenient in the countryside. It's not convenient to see a doctor or travel. If you have no place to live, just move in with us old couple. You know Nizi, she won't say anything, and our foreign son-in-law won't care about these things either."

Zhou Leng typed slowly on his phone and replied: "I plan to go back to my hometown to grow vegetables and live a leisurely life. My brother and sister-in-law are also in my hometown, and they all support me to go back. I don't want to go back to suffer. I have saved a little money after running around outside for these years. I still prefer rural life. Although the city is prosperous, I don't have many acquaintances, and I always feel empty inside."

The master's wife stared at the words on the screen, with a complicated expression on her face. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to comfort him, but in the end she couldn't say it. She understood that for Shancheng, the land of his hometown obviously carried more of his emotional sustenance.

Although the master was reluctant, he still respected the decision. He knew that returning to the countryside might be a better choice for Shancheng. There, at least he had family members around, who could support and accompany each other. If he stayed in the city, he would be speechless and lonely. Looking at his wife, he couldn't help but sigh. They were old, and no one knew when they would leave this world. If that day really came, Shancheng would really have no one to visit or talk to in this city.

Wang Shancheng experienced too many unfortunate things in his life, but the appearance of his master and his wife was a ray of light in his life. Their meticulous care for him made him feel the warmth of the world and let him know that although there are many indifferences and tribulations in this world, there are still some good people who are willing to use their kindness and love to warm others.

Zhou Leng said goodbye to his master and his wife, and the next day he returned to his rural hometown with his meager luggage.

The mud walls of the dilapidated house were covered with fine cracks, as if they might collapse at any time. The wall of the courtyard was even more dilapidated, not only was the wall peeling off, but it was also slightly tilted, giving people a shaky feeling.

After Zhou Leng returned to the old house, he was not discouraged by its dilapidated state. He decided to make a thorough renovation of the old house. He spent a day carefully checking every corner and made a detailed renovation plan.

In the following days, Zhou Leng began to implement his plan. He first demolished the dilapidated earth wall and rebuilt a solid new wall with bricks and cement. Then, he repaired the wall of the yard and restored it to its upright state.

In the process of renovating the house, Zhou Leng not only demonstrated his craftsmanship, but also reused some discarded wood and old furniture to create some unique decorations, adding a different charm to the old house.

Zhou Leng also specially prepared a camera to record every step of his renovation of the old house. He spent a lot of time and energy editing and post-producing these materials, and finally made a series of wonderful videos.

Zhou Leng posted the video on a popular video software platform and gave it a very attractive title - "Sixty-year-old mute man immersively renovates old house."

This title immediately attracted the attention of many netizens. Everyone clicked to watch and praised Zhou Leng's transformation process. Zhou Leng also gained tens of thousands of fans and became a small internet celebrity. It also injected a different color into his old age life.

Zhou Leng's later life as Wang Shancheng was wonderful. Fans often came to visit him, and the love and attention of many strangers illuminated the road that should have been lonely. In the end, he bid farewell amidst the tears of everyone and ended in the grief of the entire network.

If you don't want to get married and have children, then you should make more friends, have more hobbies, choose a house in a downtown area, and slowly enjoy your life amid the hustle and bustle of people. As long as you live the life you want, that will be a good and carefree life.
