Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

Without thinking twice, we grabbed Baosheng's arm and headed out of the police station. After all, this was a dangerous place, and it was better not to stay here.

"Why are you pulling me? I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, you go alone and I'll stay." Even after Luo Feng forcibly dragged him out of the police station, Bao Sheng kept struggling, insisting on staying with Huaihua.

"Are you out of your mind? You've made such a mess of things, and now you're still causing trouble? Let me tell you, I won't stop you from going in. But let me make this clear: you'll only make things worse, and in the end, it won't be good for either of you." Perhaps he was really provoked by Bao Sheng's series of irrational behaviors, or perhaps Luo Feng was just exhausted from worrying, so he simply let go and explained the pros and cons to Bao Sheng. It was up to Ao Min to decide what to do.

"What do you mean? Is there still a chance for things to turn around at this point?" Bao Sheng seemed to hear a different meaning in Luo Feng's words, so he quickly asked.

"Go ahead and make a scene! Why don't you stop? You were just making a ruckus here a moment ago!" Luo Feng glared at him and replied irritably before quickly walking away.

"No. Brother Feng, wait for me!" Bao Sheng was taken aback by this and didn't say much, following Luo Feng's footsteps. Perhaps he also knew that this wasn't a suitable place to chat.

And so the two of them walked one after the other towards the outskirts of the county town. After all that commotion, Luo Feng was completely wide awake. Considering that it wasn't a good idea for the two of them to wander around the county town so late at night, and that they might be mistaken for thieves and cause some misunderstanding, and that they really needed to find a quiet place to have a good chat, the woods outside the county town became a good choice.

Fortunately, it's already the end of May before he knew it, and Children's Day is just a few days away. Realizing this suddenly, Luo Feng felt a pang of emotion. The past month had been far too eventful and complicated. While dealing with these trivial matters, he realized he hadn't spent much time on his daughter. Although she was still just a child, he, as a parent, couldn't be too irresponsible. After all, if he didn't love his own child, no one else would.

"How about I surprise her on Children's Day? I just don't know if I'll have time to be with her then." Luo Feng suddenly drifted off into thought, but just as he smiled with this thought in mind, Bao Sheng's voice pulled him back to reality.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you just standing there grinning like an idiot? I've been calling you for ages, give me a shout!"

"Can you calm down? Sit down and let me talk to you properly. You're usually quite smart, so why are you acting so confused at a time like this? I wonder if someone's given you some kind of mind-altering drug." Although he didn't want to hear Bao Sheng's voice, Luo Feng understood that this was the real issue, so he didn't get angry after being interrupted. Instead, he sighed and said.

"I just don't understand why you're making such a fuss. Even if Huaihua made a mistake, she's still a student! At the end of the day, she's just a child, and she didn't do it on purpose! It was just an unintentional mistake. As long as she admits her mistake well, the school will definitely have the power to punish her. How severe can the school punish a student?"

"But getting involved like this changes the whole thing. You're my colleague, a proper employee of the cafeteria. Everyone can forgive a kid for making a mistake, but for an adult like you to make this kind of error is unacceptable. A child might have done it unintentionally, but what will people think of you? Is it possible you did it on purpose? Regardless of whether you actually did it or not, at least they have the possibility of suspecting you, and that alone will get you nowhere." After this incident, Luo Feng truly understood Bao Sheng's temper. If this guy suddenly started acting like this, he'd probably be on par with Hu Zi—both have fiery tempers, but Hu Zi's is usually more obvious.

Under these circumstances, Luo Feng naturally wanted to get the job done in one go. Actually, it was a last resort; if Bao Sheng still couldn't change his mind after all his persuasion, the consequences would be serious. Knowing the kid's bad temper, he'd definitely go to the police station and cause a scene, but he'd already offended everyone there. If he made another scene, he probably wouldn't be going home tonight.

"Is it really as you say?" Bao Sheng was a little unsure; he hadn't expected things to be so simple.

"What else do you think? Actually, I'm really curious about what you're really thinking. Anyway, there's no one else here, so why don't you just tell me?" Luo Feng sensed from his words that he had other ideas, so naturally he had to get to the bottom of it, otherwise who knew what kind of trouble he might cause next.

When this first happened, I was actually quite panicked. I kept thinking, if I directly said it was Huaihua who did it, her life might be ruined. After all, this isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. On a small scale, it might just be an unintentional mistake, but on a large scale, it's no different from poisoning!

"So later I thought, once this happened, we definitely wouldn't be able to explain ourselves clearly. Since that's the case, someone has to step forward and take the blame. I thought, I'm a grown man, and Huaihua is still young. This girl has a long future ahead of her, and we can't let this ruin it so easily..."

"So you took all this on yourself, and even made sure to tell Biaozi and Afu to keep it a secret from me, right?" Before Baosheng could finish speaking, Luo Feng jumped up from the ground in anger, not only finishing the sentence for him but also giving him a good beating.

"What on earth is going on in your head? Such a big thing happened and you didn't tell me right away. Oh, you were thinking of hiding it from me. Do you think you can keep it a secret?" After venting his anger, Luo Feng slumped down to the side, panting. Bao Sheng, who was next to him, was basically unchanged except for a few bruises on his face.

"I saw you were busy, and besides, we caused this mess, so I was afraid you'd get angry! As far as I know, detention centers and prisons are no place for humans, especially for girls. Going in there is just torture." Even at this point, Baosheng was still trying to make excuses for his behavior, which made Luo Feng both angry and amused.

What can someone like Xiang Baosheng possibly say to this? This guy is completely ignorant of the law; it's unclear where he got these bizarre ideas from. While it's true that conditions in prison aren't great, they're not as bad as he describes. Such conditions only exist in the old society; Baosheng must have read too many comic books to have such strange ideas.

"I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do than do something productive all day long." At this point, Luo Feng was too lazy to waste any more words on Bao Sheng, and finally used this sentence to evaluate his brainless behavior.

"It seems I need to give my guys a basic lesson in the law, otherwise if something like this happens again, people will laugh their heads off." This strange thought suddenly popped into Luo Feng's mind, and he wondered what his guys would think if they found out.
