Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

Luo Feng left after saying a few words, leaving Luo Shun and his son behind, looking embarrassed.

"You, Luo Feng, really think you're something special?" The uncle's temper flared up instantly, and he shouted at Luo Feng's back.

"Alright, Dad, stop making a scene." Even Luo Shun couldn't stand it anymore at this point.

Regardless, Luo Feng has been quite good to me these days. Now that my father is here causing trouble, how should the two sides get along?

To be honest, Luo Shun didn't want to leave Luo's shop now. At least he wouldn't leave until he had fully mastered Luo Feng's skills.

He knew very well that leaving Luo's meant going it alone, and if he didn't master the skills, going it alone would be no different from courting death.

The reason Luo's restaurant has been able to survive this long is entirely due to Luo Feng's culinary skills. Although there are many other factors involved, in the catering industry, skill is king; other shortcuts are simply unimportant.

I was very clear about this, so he spoke up to dissuade his father, hoping to get himself a chance to stay.

You should know that Luo Feng's culinary skills have won countless praises from people in the surrounding villages and towns. Looking across the entire county, you can't find a chef with better skills than Luo Feng.

"Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak here?" The uncle was clearly still angry, baring his teeth at anyone he could get his hands on.

"Alright, since Luo Feng doesn't like us, let's leave. There's no need to try to win him over." After saying that, the uncle urged Luo Shun to pack his luggage and prepare to leave immediately.

"Father, I don't think Luo Feng meant that. You must have misunderstood."

"What do you mean I misunderstood him? That's clearly what he meant. You're so young and don't understand anything. You need to learn to read between the lines." Uncle remained as stubborn as ever. It seemed that in his world, only his own actions were correct, and others were completely out of his consideration.

Seeing that Luo Shun was still dawdling, his uncle kicked him repeatedly, signaling him to do as he was told.

Ultimately, under his uncle's violent coercion, Shunzi packed his luggage. Seeing that his son's luggage was packed, his uncle grabbed Shunzi and ran out the door; he really didn't want to stay there a moment longer.

This was the situation Luo Feng should have wanted. Luo Shun was a huge burden his uncle had dumped on him; now that they were all gone, wouldn't he be much easier off?

However, Luo Feng's old habit of being soft-hearted resurfaced. After spending these days together, Luo Feng discovered that his cousin was not actually a bad person.

Perhaps it was because his uncle was too strict with him that he developed an extreme aversion to him. As a result, in his uncle's eyes, he became a disobedient child.

The despicable things he did in the surrounding villages seemed to be entirely aimed at angering his own father. It was like when two people are locked in a fierce argument, and at that point, neither of them cared about principles anymore; all they cared about was making the other unhappy.

"Shunzi, do you really want to leave?" Luo Feng asked, staring at Guoshun the moment his uncle stepped out of the shop.

"I..." Luo Shun glanced at his angry father beside him, then looked at Luo Feng, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"What else is there to say? Hurry up and leave." After saying that, the uncle grabbed Luo Shun's arm again and tried to pull him away.

"I won't leave, I won't leave here!" Luo Shun suddenly broke free from his uncle's grasp and shouted at him.

"What did you say?" The uncle was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening. In his memory, Luo Shun had never resisted any of his arrangements.

“I said, I’m not leaving, I want to stay here,” Luo Shun said, emphasizing each word.

"Slap!" A loud slap landed on Luo Shun's left cheek.

Perhaps because his uncle had hit him too hard, a bright red five-finger mark was clearly visible on Shunzi's left cheek. But he only staggered a step, without answering or resisting.

"So, you've grown up now, and your wings have hardened, huh? You don't even listen to me anymore. If I had known you were this kind of person, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place." The uncle cursed angrily. Today must be the most humiliating day of his life. Not only was he humiliated by a junior like Luo Feng, but even his usually docile son had started to rebel against him.

"Fine, you stay here, but you'd better never come looking for me again!" With that, the uncle walked away without looking back.

It's unclear where the old man got his confidence from, but he always believed that he wouldn't go far before his son caught up and would eventually have to do as he was told.

But this time, he might have miscalculated. Luo Feng immediately pulled Shunzi into the shop. Shunzi didn't resist and seemed to have no intention of caring about his father.

"You should rest for a bit. You don't need to come to work today. I'll do your work for you," Luo Feng instructed Shunzi, telling him to go upstairs and rest.

"Fengzi, what about my father?"

"Your uncle is still angry. You don't need to bother with him. Let him calm down; it won't hurt."

"Fengzi, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I apologize on behalf of my father. I hope you won't take it to heart." Luo Shun was about to bow to Luo Feng when he was stopped.

"What are you talking about? We're relatives, after all. Why would I hold a grudge over something so trivial?" Luo Feng said nonchalantly. He really couldn't bring himself to argue with an old man.

"Alright, don't worry about anything now, just get some rest. If you don't want to stay at the shop, I can give you a day off. Tomorrow, just find somewhere to relax." Luo Feng said, taking the luggage from Luo Shun and gesturing for Ade to put the things upstairs.

Afterwards, Luo Feng patted Shunzi on the shoulder, indicating that he could do as he pleased. At this moment, it wouldn't be appropriate to say or do anything, so Luo Feng simply left it alone. Letting Shunzi have some peace and quiet was better; at least it would allow him to figure out which path he should take in the future.

Shunzi nodded, gave Luo Feng a smile that looked more like a grimace, and then turned and left the store.

"Brother Feng, I have to say, your uncle is a real jerk. We've all been living together for so long, and everyone knows how you treat us, especially Shunzi. I don't know what your uncle is thinking, how can he still be so ungrateful!" As soon as Shunzi left, Hu Zi came up to him.

The commotion in the shop naturally alerted the kitchen staff, who dropped what they were doing and rushed to the front to see what was going on.

"Alright, stop standing around and go back to work." Luo Feng didn't want to say more about this matter, as it would hurt Shunzi, which was clearly a situation he didn't want to see.

"This guy is really no good," Wu Zi muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Alright, let's not bring this up again. After all, he's my elder, it's not appropriate to say this." Luo Feng followed closely behind into the kitchen, patted Hu Zi on the shoulder, and said to him.

Tiger nodded, which was considered an agreement, but his eyes revealed a strong sense of disdain.
