The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 1 1. Heir

"Auntie, I've prepared the bride price, and Yingying's name will be written on the house."

It was the day to propose marriage, and Lin Feng specially put on the newly purchased formal clothes.

After opening the door, my girlfriend's mother stood up first, "Xiao Lin, I discussed it with Yingying's father last night, and now it's 50."

Lin Feng was surprised, "Didn't we agree on 30 before?"

The girlfriend's mother said: "My son, who is Yingying's younger brother, is not married yet, and the eldest brother is very anxious. To tell you the truth, there are many people chasing after my Yingying. Xiao Yuan, the one from your company, is willing to pay 500,000 yuan. I didn't even agree to an apartment. Her father and I have fallen in love with you. You are diligent, sensible, and honest. You should think about it before you come back."

After closing the door for two seconds, the door opened again.

The middle-aged woman sighed, "Our Yingying has never been wronged since she was a child. She can't bear the hardship. Your family's situation is so bad, Xiaolin, there are some things I can't say, so you can think about it yourself."

Looking at his indifferent girlfriend behind him, who looked like a stranger, Lin Feng felt disheartened.

Just like that, the originally happy mood was poured with cold water.

Ten minutes later, I received a WeChat message from my girlfriend: "I'm sorry you can't give me what I want, so I can only stay here with you."

Lin Feng showed no expression, calmly turned off the screen and put it in his pocket, started the car, randomly selected a radio station, listened to music and prepared to go home.

It is said that knowledge changes destiny. However, when he studied hard and finally allowed himself to live a better life and thought he had reached the top of the mountain, he discovered that there were higher and steeper mountains waiting for him in the distance.

These peaks are either naturally formed or man-made.

Either way, it is out of reach for him.

When I got home, my parents prepared a table of meals.

Looking at the expression on Lin Feng's face, the couple knew that the matter was blown.

Mom silently serves rice.

Dad didn't say anything. He went into the kitchen and took out two bottles of beer and opened them with his teeth. "They didn't like our family. Did they break up?"

Lin Feng nodded and hummed.

His father patted him on the shoulder and handed him a bottle of wine. "Listen up, son, what is a man? No matter how sad things happen, they will be over. It's no big deal."

"Have sex with your dad!"

Lin Feng's eyes were moist, "Dad, you can't drink because of your illness."

Dad just laughed and blew the bottle.

Lin Feng also smiled. He hadn't seen his father so free and easy for a long time.

Since he contracted uremia five years ago, the physical and mental double blow has turned my father from talkative to taciturn.

In order to support the family, my mother also fell ill and suffered severe hair loss. She looked as old as a fifty-year-old woman in her sixties or seventies.

At this time, my mother wiped away her tears and said, "Son, when you are looking for a partner in the future, don't say that you have a family. You are in good condition and don't let us delay you."

Lin Feng slammed the wine bottle on the table, "Mom and Dad, whoever accepts me from now on must accept our family!"

In fact, children from ordinary families have thought about the following questions: Why are my parents not rich, why am I not the second generation of rich people, and why do I have to work hard to have the things that others have at their fingertips.

Lin Feng thought so at first, but later he felt that although his family was ordinary, he had never been hungry, cold, or tired since he was a child. He kept all the delicious food close to him. Those contributions that seemed insignificant to his parents were very important to him. Said it was all they had.

However, the hemp rope only picks out the fine points, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.

Just when Lin Feng had a good sleep and was about to regroup and face life, a job transfer notice gave him a blow. He knew very well that this was a malicious job transfer to force him to resign. He had previously stepped in to help out because he couldn't stand his boss teasing the girl at the front desk, and he had been made things difficult for him many times since then.

In order to treat his father's illness, Lin Feng chose to endure.

I wanted to argue with the big boss based on my contribution to the company, but when I saw that Xiao Yuan was taking over his original position, a huge feeling of powerlessness swept through my body.

With the indifferent looks from his colleagues, Lin Feng knew that he had no chance of winning.

Just then, his boss walked into the office and stared at him suspiciously.

"Lin Feng, come to General Ren's office."

As I followed, I found that besides the boss, there was also a blond woman, about forty years old, wearing glasses and having a capable manner.

Lin Feng has a background of studying abroad, and he is the best foreign language speaker in the company. Important customers always call him, which is no longer surprising.

He chuckled inwardly, thinking that he was going to have to kill the donkey and bring himself over to be a translator. This month's salary would be wasted and the whole place would be ruined!

As a result, the first words the lady spoke made Lin Feng's jaw drop.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Laura, the consultant of the American Willi Heritage Protection Company. Entrusted by the client Tom Frank, you are the first heir to an inheritance in River Valley Town, Montana."

The woman spoke in a calm tone, but Lin Feng heard a bolt from the blue.

What shocked him was not that he became the heir, but Tom Frank's name.

When I was studying abroad, I worked at his lakeside ranch, first on weekends, then every holiday to help, and finally I even stayed there.

The ranch is managed by an elderly couple. The two have eccentric tempers and often quarrel, but they also sit side by side by the haystacks and watch the sunset.

At first, no one wanted to work in the lakeside ranch because the people in the valley town were tough and the locals were very xenophobic, so few outsiders were willing to work there.

Lin Feng didn't know it, but something bad did happen when he first went there.

But the old couple liked him very much, which became the weight to stay.

Lin Feng taught Frank and his wife how to play Chinese chess and poker. The three of them played Landlord and told Chinese mythology stories to the old couple. They spent a very wonderful time on the ranch.

Later, his father fell ill and lost contact with him after returning to China. Lin Feng gradually suppressed this memory in his busy life.

"Your kindness is a great warmth to the lonely old man. It's a pity that they passed away six months ago." Laura sighed.

Lin Feng suddenly remembered something, "But Uncle Frank said that he has two sons working in Los Angeles. Logically speaking, they should be the heirs. Even if they don't want to take care of it, they can just sell it for money."

Ms. Laura said with regret: "I regret to tell you that Mr. and Mrs. Frank have no children at all. Mrs. Frank was injured when she was young and was unable to have children. The two of them have always been dependent on each other."

Lin Feng was a little moved, because when they lived on the ranch, what the old couple liked to mention most was how wonderful their children were, especially Mrs. Frank.

In the description, the eldest son is a stockbroker and the younger son is engaged in medical work. They have all established their own happy families. The oldest has a pair of lovely children, and the second has three little princesses. They go to the ranch to spend a week every two or three months.

When they said this, Frank and his wife's eyes were full of happiness. Now Lin Feng understood that these were just the beautiful imagination of the lonely old man.

At that time, he was still wondering why he had never seen his two sons, not even a photo, but now he understands everything.

"This is what the Franks leave to you."

Ms. Laura handed over a wooden box. After opening it, there was a deck of cards. The three of them had played with it before. The two kings and kings were signed.

Looking at this poker, Lin Feng shed tears.
