Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

After hanging up with Lao Shuan, Luo Feng didn't dwell on the matter. He had no idea what they were up to anyway, so he figured he'd just have to deal with it as it came. Although this might seem a bit passive, he had too many things to deal with right now to worry about.

According to Luo Feng's plan, once the county head confirms the specific address of the Good Man Food Processing Plant, he will urge him to go to the city as soon as possible to bring the equipment back. After all, if he wants the plant to be fully operational by the end of the year, there is not much time left, and he cannot afford to waste any time.

But for some reason, after Vice Mayor Zhao left, there was no news from the county head for two or three days in a row.

This is not good news. It means that the county head must have encountered some kind of resistance. Otherwise, such a simple task as selecting a factory site would not have been delayed until now.

Luo Feng wasn't entirely sure what difficulties the county magistrate was facing. He felt awkward asking unless the magistrate spoke up. This made Luo Feng even more anxious. He had hoped to get some information from his father through his second son, but the second son pretended to know nothing about it, completely feigning ignorance. This only fueled Luo Feng's frustration. This whole affair was organized by the county magistrate; if the person in charge hadn't given the order, who would dare continue?

Putting everything else aside, even if we can bring the equipment back, if the factory can't be built on time, we might not even have a place to store it. Are we really going to just watch all the equipment slowly rust away?

Thinking about this made Luo Feng feel uneasy. However, he waited and waited but the county magistrate did not show up. Eventually, Luo Feng could not hold back any longer and decided to go to the county magistrate in person to ask him for clarification.

Just as he was about to call the county magistrate, he saw his second brother run in with a mobile phone.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, hurry up, my old man needs to talk to you, call him back right away." The second brother's voice came over before he even entered the door. Before Luo Feng could react, the second brother had already shoved the cell phone in his hand into his hand.

"No, what's going on here? Explain yourself!" Luo Feng was completely bewildered by the second brother's actions and still hadn't figured out what was happening. Seeing the second brother shove the cell phone into his hand and prepare to leave, Luo Feng quickly grabbed his arm.

"Why are you grabbing me? I don't know anything. You should ask my grandfather. Let go, I have to deliver food." The second brother felt himself being pulled and turned around to say to Luo Feng without any politeness, and then shook off Luo Feng's hand.

"Sigh, that kid, always so impulsive, I wonder when he'll change." Watching his second brother carry the packed food and get on his motorcycle, Luo Feng could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

As the sound of the motorcycles outside the door faded into the distance, Luo Feng began to use his mobile phone to call the county magistrate back.

The county magistrate's anxious voice came through almost as soon as the call connected. The environment on the other end of the line was quite noisy, so Luo Feng couldn't hear what the magistrate was saying at first.

After a while, the county head probably also realized the problem. The background noise on the phone gradually decreased, indicating that the county head had deliberately found a quieter place.

"Uncle, what happened again? I heard there's a huge commotion on your end. Could it be that there's a problem with the factory site selection?" Only now could Luo Feng clearly ask the county head about the situation. In fact, the county head had been busy with this matter these past few days, so when he called, Luo Feng's first thought was that there was a problem with the factory site selection.

"The factory location isn't a big problem. We already had it planned out, the design drawings were done, and we were just about to find someone to start building the factory." The county head on the other end of the phone sighed and began to explain the situation to Luo Feng.

"Isn't this going quite smoothly? It seems you'll be back soon!" Luo Feng was a little surprised to hear the county magistrate say this. If everything was going well, the magistrate wouldn't have needed to make this call.

"I do want to come back! But given the current situation, I really can't. You heard what they were saying just now, they were practically making a huge fuss here." The first person's tone was somewhat dejected, but more so, it was filled with helplessness.

"No, Uncle, could you please tell me in detail? What exactly happened? What are you all arguing about?" Luo Feng was also wondering about this. He had heard a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and it seemed like there were quite a few people there. However, because the noise was so loud, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Sigh, it's nothing major, really. We were just about to gather people to start building the factory when a few old guys suddenly appeared and insisted that building a factory here would ruin the feng shui, refusing to let anyone start construction. I was planning to go back, but now the matter is stuck here, neither going forward nor back, it's really frustrating!" The county magistrate explained the situation in a few words.

However, Luo Feng was speechless. What was all this about? How could a large group of people not even be able to handle a few old men? With this kind of ability, he didn't know how County Magistrate D got his position. He didn't know what to say.

"Hey, it's just a few old guys. If everyone helps to persuade them, it'll be fine." Although Luo Feng really wanted to complain about the county magistrate, he dared not show it at this moment and could only pretend to be calm and give the county magistrate advice.

"You make it sound so simple. Do you think I haven't tried? But these old guys are as stubborn as mules, no matter what I say, they won't listen!" The county magistrate was very dissatisfied with Luo Feng's attitude, feeling that he was treating him like a fool. But the county magistrate didn't care about such things anymore, and instead began to complain that this matter was really too difficult to handle.

Afterwards, the county magistrate described the whole incident in detail to the madman. From the magistrate's description, Luo Feng vaguely sensed that something was amiss. Suddenly, he remembered something Old Shuan had said, and the combination of the two made him feel as if he could smell a conspiracy.

"Looks like those old guys in the village couldn't hold back anymore and made their move!" Luo Feng muttered to himself, but the county magistrate on the other end of the phone overheard him.

"What are you saying, kid? You'd better show up in front of me right now. I need you to be my strategist!" The county magistrate hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, giving Luo Feng no choice whatsoever.

There's no other way; since the county magistrate has spoken, I have no choice but to go and meet up with him. As for the specifics of the situation, I'll only be able to find out once I arrive.
