Lu Feng still remembers that when he was a child, because his mother was "pregnant out of wedlock" and had a child, the villagers would not let them go home. His grandfather even made his attitude clear and drew a clear line between them and their mother.
When Lu Feng was five or six years old, he was bullied by people in the village and called him a wild boy.
Now, those who had bullied him all stood here proudly, looking at him with flattering expressions, and each of them shamelessly said that they were good brothers who grew up together.
The ugliness of the world is vividly displayed in this small village.
Even his only harbor, his beloved old mother, lied to him.
Lu Feng felt unspeakably uncomfortable and burst into tears.
Everyone said that he was a filial son. His old mother passed away and he cried so sadly.
Lu Feng is crying to himself. The past self is dead. The Lu Feng who lived for revenge and repayment of kindness is dead. His soul has ascended, and only this body is left alive.
He, Lu Feng, no, Lu Feng is just a code name.
He has lived for others for so many years, and now he wants to live for himself.
The people in front of them all had flattering faces. The dead person was Lu Feng's mother, but they were crying as if they were dead. Each one of them was better than an actor. They just wanted to get something from Lu Feng.
benefit.
He had already seen clearly the true face of these people.
There is a grandfather in the clan who went out to work when he was young. He has not come back for decades. He has returned to his roots and wants to be buried in his hometown. It is these people who are stopping him from being buried in peace and insisting on paying 10,000 yuan.
Just fine.
If Lu Feng was like that grandfather, with no identity or status, just an ordinary working-class person, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to bury his mother this time.
Lu Feng looked at these people coldly, watching their performance, but felt very ridiculous in his heart.
For my mother's funeral, almost the whole village, old and young, came out. When it was still dark and bright, the village became lively, with the sound of locks, drums, children crying, and adults mourning all mixed together.
Lu Feng's tears have dried up from crying and his voice has become hoarse. When people in the countryside evaluate whether a person is a filial son, in addition to their usual performance, the day of the funeral is also very important. Lu Feng is undoubtedly a filial son recognized by everyone.
The village party secretary and village director also came to support the old mother's spirit. The village party secretary is the nephew of the old mother's family, and the village director is the grandson of the old mother.
It caused a huge stir because it was a unique thing.
The funeral was held in a dignified manner. It could be said to be an unprecedented grand event. Famous actors from the provincial troupe were invited to sing for three days. Some people who were dozens of kilometers away came to see it by car or on motorcycles. After all, the actors from the provincial troupe were there.
There are still very few opportunities to perform in rural areas, and everyone's appearance fee is quite high, starting at least five figures.
These are all proposed by the so-called own people in the village. Lu Feng doesn't care. As long as he obeys whatever they propose, letting the old mother leave in glory is what he wants to see.
In addition, the village also screened movies for half a month. Ordinary families only screen movies for three days. This is an unprecedented feat for the Lu Feng family!
After the funeral, an important part is talking. There are two so-called talks. One is before the funeral. Lu Feng was originally going to attend, but the village director did it for him. He mainly arranged the funeral, assigned tasks, and divided the work.
It was clear who should do what, and there were specific requirements. The other time was after the funeral, that is, the aftermath. The money collected was collected and handed over to Lu Feng. There were also detailed arrangements for the erection of the monument in the future.
Basically, Lu Feng doesn't need to worry about these things, the village director has arranged them properly.
After everyone finished talking, they arrived at Lu Feng. Lu Feng took a sip of tea and glanced at everyone: "My mother is gone. I'm not at home all year round. I have nothing to worry about here. I may have very little time to come back in the future."
. Where is the villa at home? I plan to give it to a brother from the same clan!" Lu Feng said, looking around at these brothers who had bullied him since childhood.
"Who are you going to hand it over to?" the village director came over and asked.
Lu Feng put his mouth close to the village director's ear and whispered for a while.
"What, what did you say? I can't hear you clearly."
"I'm sorry to bother you. When you decide on the candidate, tell me and I'll go through the formalities then."
"No, Uncle Feng, you!" The village director is one generation younger than Lu Feng, so he calls him Uncle Lu Feng.
Lu Feng had nothing to deal with. Seeing that everyone had come out, he locked the door and told the village director: "Determine the candidate as soon as possible. This villa must be a permanent resident."
The village director looked confused and saw Lu Feng and Wu Ling getting into the car. As soon as the car drove away, Lu Feng's brothers from the same clan gathered around them.
"What are you doing? We are all brothers in your family." Wu Ling guessed that Lu Feng did this on purpose. For a villa, these people could fight to death. Wu Ling had also seen this kind of thing at her ex-husband's house.
I once visited the house of a brother from the same clan as my ex-husband, and the two sons fought over the inheritance.
"Brother? Do you know how they bullied me when I was a child? They chased me and beat me and called me a bastard."
"Those are just children, and children are ignorant."
"What about the adults? They are not all the same." Lu Feng looked in the rearview mirror, and there was already a fight behind him, "My surname is not Lu, and the matter of my surname has nothing to do with me in the future."
"You have no intention of giving the villa to them?"
"Why should I give them my own villa? It's ridiculous. It's so ridiculous!" Lu Feng said and laughed. The laughter sounded so terrifying.
"Lu Feng, you can't do this. The Lu Feng I know is not such a person at all."
"You are wrong. The Lu Feng you know has always been this kind of person. In order to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes and use any means. Do you think that I have been showing great kindness in building roads and schools these years?
?I did it all for my mother, to make her be valued in the village. I have done enough for the village. What I owe to the Lu family has been paid off long ago. I don’t owe anyone now. I just
I want to live the way I want.”
"I know you still can't accept your mother lying to you, but she has passed away. She just told this lie to make you feel that you have a father. She also means well."
"Well-intentioned, yes, that's right, for this father, I have suffered so much and suffered so much over the years, but I have no regrets, because I feel that I am Chen Yunchao's son, and now, I
Only then did I realize that all of this was false. I have been living in an illusory dream. I don’t even know who I am, let alone what my real last name is? None of this matters now.

Wu Ling looked at Lu Feng, his eyes looked more and more terrifying.
