Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 358 Return of the property to its original owner

Gu Fengyue looked at Song Chunlin with a dark face and warned him seriously: "Don't do this alone. Is it so easy to enter the barbarian's imperial city? No matter how powerful you are, you have to think about your family behind you, and... me."

Looking at Gu Fengyue who was worried, Song Chunlin had to admit that once a person has a weak spot, he will begin to fear death.

So he promised Gu Fengyue that he would never go to the barbarian base alone.

Even after getting Song Chunlin's guarantee, Gu Fengyue was still not reassured and wanted Song Chunlin to sign a document. Song Chunlin rolled his eyes several times and the matter of the document was dropped.

When the two were alone in the room at night, Song Chunlin remembered that he had forgotten to give many gifts to Gu Fengyue.

"Oh, I was thinking of giving it to you as soon as I saw you, but I accidentally forgot. But it's not too late now. Come over here and see your oldest nephew."

Gu Fengyue had known for a long time that Su Fuqing had given birth to a boy. Gu Fengyun sent a letter to him as soon as possible, and also attached a Polaroid family portrait taken by Song Chunlin. The small photo was carefully preserved in a small wooden box, but Song Chunlin was so interested that he didn't want to tell him that he had already seen his little nephew.

The two people who had just finished taking a shower were wrapped in blankets and snuggled in bed together, watching videos of their little nephew on the tablet, some sleeping, some awake, some blowing bubbles, and the fat baby wearing a bright red wedding dress on the 100-day banquet.

"How come he is completely different from when he was born?"

Song Chunlin agreed: "Yeah, I think so too. When he was born, he was wrinkled and ugly. Your eldest brother asked me if the child was pretty. I was too embarrassed to tell the truth. I could only say that the child looked like his father. Guess what your eldest brother said to me at that time?"

"What happened?"

"He said that he also felt that the child looked a lot like his eldest sister-in-law."

Gu Fengyue: “…”

“Hahahahahaha, isn’t it speechless? My sister-in-law’s face turned black at that time. Hahahaha, I was dying of laughter.”

Seeing him laughing happily, Gu Fengyue started laughing too. They laughed for a long time before they finally stopped.

Song Chunlin then showed Gu Fengyue many other videos, some of Gu Fengyun's family, some of his own family, but more of Song Chunlin himself. He filmed many of his daily life for him, where he went to play, what delicious food he made, why he was chased and beaten by Song Dazhuang, and so on. They were all small and fragmentary videos, but Gu Fengyue could never get enough of them. He kept repeating the same video until Song Chunlin protested, and then he moved on to the next one.

The two of them played on the tablet until late at night, and naturally went to bed late the next morning. Gu Fengyue was fine, as he woke up almost as soon as the sun came out, but Song Chunlin showed no sign of being awake at all. Gu Fengyue stroked his cheek with heartache, knowing that in order to come and spend the Lantern Festival with her, he must not have gotten enough rest along the way and was just busy getting on the road.

Fang Siyi had already prepared breakfast outside, but seeing that Song Chunlin and the others had not gotten up yet, she was hesitating whether to call them when Gu Fengyue came out.

"Uncle Fang, please leave some light food for Chunlin. He is still sleeping and won't wake up soon."

Fang Siyi quickly responded with an "OK" and was about to leave when he was stopped by Gu Fengyue. Gu Fengyue handed him a few pieces of paper and motioned him to take a look first.

Fang Siyi took the pieces of paper with some doubt. He was not very literate, but he recognized the word "land deed". There was also a house deed and an official document, which was a modification of the clause about leaving the house with nothing in a divorce.

Fang Siyi looked at the words that were a little difficult for him to understand, and didn't understand why Gu Fengyue gave them to him.

"Gu, Sima Gu, are these the deeds of my family's former house?"

"Exactly. Here, there is the title deed to your ancestral home and the property deed to your shop. These were once taken from you by Luo Shaokun. Now, they are returned to their original owners."

Fang Siyi looked at the name on the land deed and the house deed in disbelief. The three words "Fang Siyi" were clearly written on them. It was not Luo Shaokun, but him, Fang Siyi.

"How could this happen? But it was Sima Gu who helped me get it back through mediation?"

Gu Fengyue did not dare to take credit for it. He shook his head at Fang Siyi, then pointed to the yard where he lived.

"You should thank Chunlin for this. He was the one who stood up for you and made my brother realize that there is such a big loophole in our dynasty's laws."

"The Great Jing Dynasty was founded less than two hundred years ago, and many laws are still based on the old laws of the previous dynasty. In fact, many people in the court know that there must be many unreasonable aspects in it, but they never want to change it. This time, my brother united the six ministries and overturned many old systems. The case of you, Fang Shumo, and Luo Shaokun was also overturned. From now on, those who are kicked out of the house are all changed to the one who is at fault in the couple. Luo Shaokun treated his wife harshly, used his wife's money to support his mistress, and had an illegitimate child with his mistress. In terms of emotion and reason, he is the thorough party at fault. Therefore, the family property that was originally awarded to him will now be returned to you in full."

Fang Siyi held those thin pages in his hands, but they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He couldn't help but keep his tears flowing. At the beginning, for the sake of his three children, he was determined to divorce Luo Shaokun. But the law was ruthless, and his Fang family's property was taken away by a villain. It's not that he didn't regret it, he just had no choice. If he didn't separate from Luo Shaokun, his sons and daughters would be sent to other families as concubines by that bastard. The beast didn't like his children in the first place, and he gave birth to two boys and the third was a girl. Luo Shaokun looked down on him even more.

After realizing Luo Shaokun's purpose, Fang Siyi began to think about how to separate from Luo Shaokun, but plans could not keep up with changes. After her daughter was almost given away as a child bride, Fang Siyi decided to give up everything to save her three children.

"God has eyes, God has eyes." Fang Siyi wiped her tears and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Gu Fengyue, but was stopped by Gu Fengyue's quick eyes and hands.

"Uncle Fang, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. It was the court's negligence that caused you four to suffer for so many years. Now that the hardship has paid off, you should be smiling."

Fang Siyi smiled when she heard this: "Sima Gu is right. This is a good thing. We should laugh about it."

When the Fang brothers found out that they were going to get their house back, they were both dumbfounded. The young Fang Lanxin didn't feel anything about it. She was only one year old when she was kicked out of the old house. Naturally, she had no impression of the old house, and her feelings for it were not as deep as those of her two brothers. She was a little puzzled by her brother and father's reactions.

"Brother, is that old house important? Are we going to move there?" Fang Lanxin looked around reluctantly. In her memory, only this yard was their home. She didn't understand why her brothers were so excited about an old house. Isn't it good to live here?

Fang Chen touched the top of his sister's head and patiently explained to her: "That old house is not only our hometown, but also the place where Dad was born and grew up."

Fang Lanxin was even more confused: "Then why didn't we live there before, but lived here? Is it fun over there? Is there a big yard? I like big yards and vineyards."

Fang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He found that his sister didn't understand the significance of the old house to them. That's right, she was still a kid at that time, how could she possibly remember what the old house looked like.

When Song Chunlin learned that the Fang family’s house and shop were going to be returned, he was even happier than Fang Siyi himself. He cheered and wanted to help Fang Siyi move immediately. Fortunately, Gu Fengyue stopped him in time.

"Why are you in such a hurry? If you guys go and move, Luo Shaokun will definitely not move out obediently. Tomorrow we will go to the military camp and find a dozen people, and directly take the documents to drive Luo Shaokun away."

Song Chunlin thought about it and found that he was quite satisfied with this plan, so he reluctantly agreed.

The move was settled, and then Song Chunlin began to question the culprit.

"Such a big thing, why weren't you the first one to tell me?"

Gu Fengyue felt wronged: "This is clearly the business of Fang Shumo's family. Besides, I only saw it in a pile of official documents on the day you came back. When I saw it, I had already instructed the clerks in the government office to handle the transfer procedures. This matter was directly sentenced by the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Revenue agreed. When you came to find me, I just got the land deed and the house deed. I was so surprised and overwhelmed by you that I forgot, didn't I?"

Song Chunlin was not quite satisfied with this reason, but Gu Fengyue was right. This matter actually had little to do with him, and not telling him at the first time seemed... reasonable.

"Forget it, I forgive you."

"Okay, thank you, Young Master Song, for your magnanimity."

Song Chunlin was a little embarrassed: "What are you doing? Uncle Fang and the others are still here."

Song Chunlin turned his head and found Fang Lanxin looking at them curiously, and the other three also had auntie smiles on their faces. Song Chunlin's face turned even redder, and he could have dug out a magic fairy castle with his toes.

I couldn't help but glare at Gu Fengyue. What a guy. How come he has become more shameless after staying at the border for so long?

Because they had agreed to help Fang Siyi move the next day, Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue stayed in the vineyard for one more night. The next morning they set out and went to the military camp to check the soldiers. They specially selected twenty burly and strong men, and returned to the government office in a mighty procession.

Then they saw a speechless scene at the gate of the government office.

"Looking for you?" Song Chunlin raised his eyebrows at Gu Fengyue. His eyes were slightly cold and there was no excessive expression on his face, but Gu Fengyue felt inexplicably frightened.

It’s over. This little ancestor must be really pissed off.

Gu Fengyue couldn't help but curse the guy surnamed Lu in her heart. He insisted on ruining such a good day. She might really get beaten up by Song Chunlin later.

The person who was about to be beaten didn't seem to realize that the danger was coming. Seeing that Gu Fengyue not only brought Song Chunlin back with him, but was also followed by a group of strong men, he couldn't help but take a step back timidly.

Although Miss Lu was not very pretty, she was still quite pretty. At this moment, she deliberately acted timid and cowardly. If it were any other man who was sympathetic to women, he would probably have been bewitched and would not have been able to help but come forward to comfort her.

It's a pity that she was facing Gu Fengyue and the group of rough men behind her who didn't understand romance. It was like throwing a wink to a blind man, but it was all in vain.

Gu Fengyue waved at her impatiently, signaling her to leave quickly, but was Miss Lu someone who would leave so easily? Of course not, she deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of Gu Fengyue's wave, walked up to her with a cheerful look on her face, and greeted Gu Fengyue with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"Sima Gu, I have been waiting for you here for two days. I wonder where Sima Gu has been these two days?"

Gu Fengyue had never seen such a shameless person before, and she didn't know how to answer her. It took her a long time to utter a word.

"Didn't I tell you not to show up in front of us in the future? How come the daughter of the Lu family can't even understand human language?"

This was a harsh statement, but Miss Lu had been waiting here for two days and had finally caught up with Gu Fengyue. Even though Song Chunlin was standing next to him, she was still going to face the challenge.

Then she plucked up her courage, squeezed out two tears, and looked at Song Chunlin with tearful eyes.

"Young Master Song, I didn't know it was you that day. My maid was outspoken and accidentally offended you. Please forgive us. We are just two weak women. Young Master Song, you really don't have to take us to heart."

For the first time in his two lives, Song Chunlin witnessed what a green tea girl was like at such a close distance. The delicate tone and the meaningful words were so touching that if he was not the person involved, he would have applauded from the sidelines.

"Ms. Lu is really good at making tea. Why doesn't this sound so pleasant?"

Miss Lu didn't know what tea art was, but she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing to say, so her face froze slightly, but she still forced a smile on her lips and said reluctantly: "Young Master Song, you are joking, where is the tea here?"

Song Chunlin pretended to be puzzled: "Eh, no? Oh, I forgot. You don't understand, but it doesn't matter. But I vaguely remember that I warned Miss Lu. Why, Miss Lu, you forget things easily? It's only been two days, and you have forgotten what I said?"

Miss Lu was now completely stiff. She was really scared this time. She quietly took a step back, still trying to argue stubbornly.

"How could that be? Young Master Song really loves to joke around. But I don't think Young Master Song is such a vulgar person, right?"

Song Chunlin smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "Miss Lu, you are too kind. I am such a vulgar person. Since you don't remember it, do you need me to remind you?"

Miss Lu was about to say no, but how could Song Chunlin let her go easily? Facing someone who kept making trouble in front of him and acting like a bastard in front of him, Song Chunlin would not be polite. He slapped Miss Lu's powdered face hard.
