The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 265 264. Moisturize things silently

Nicholas strode onto the stage, grabbed the will from George's hand, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "This will is a forgery! It has no legal effect at all!"

There was an uproar at the scene.

Santiago sneered, "Forgery? Where is your evidence?"

At this time, Hans in the audience said: "Santiago, don't do this. Old MacLun gave me a will before, which is in my office. Nicholas is the heir."

Old McLean knew that trouble would occur after his death, so he wrote a will in advance and deposited it with the Animal Husbandry Committee.

Santiago shook the copy in George's hand, "He wrote a new one before his death, in chronological order, so your will is invalid."

The scene fell into silence again.

At this time, Fred Cunningham said: "No, according to Montana law, old McClun must be awake before his death, and there must be two disinterested witnesses present for the will to be valid. Excuse me , where are the witnesses to this will?”

His eyes glanced sharply at Santiago and George, and both of them ducked involuntarily.

Lin Feng stood behind and witnessed the whole process. During this period, he exchanged a look with Jasmine and then smiled funny.

Lin Feng felt that it was necessary to go back and see home.

Santiago's face became a little ugly, obviously he was confused by the question.

This "forced palace" case has gone unsolved, but it has been brought to the table, and Santiago will not give up just yet.

Once no one lives in the house, it will become deserted very quickly. My mother still feels uneasy when she thinks about it.

After attending the memorial service, I returned home.

It is estimated that Jia Simin will be happy to accompany him, and then he can take her to Qin City for a few days.

The vegetable garden has become their second home.

The pastoral area is never truly peaceful. They were in a tightrope against the Wendelton Group before, but now they are fighting for their own interests in peacetime. This is just human nature.

Fred sneered, "Not here? That's a coincidence. But it doesn't matter. I believe the law will give a fair judgment. Before that, I suggest that everyone not rush to identify the heirs and wait until the legality of the will is obtained. It’s not too late to make a decision after confirmation.”

This kind of drizzle is a stimulant for calves. Just like children, they like to play and play in the rain. Even if the doors and windows are closed at home, the calves can still hear their excited shouts.

George was a little at a loss and stammered: "Witnesses? Of course there are, but they didn't come today."

It was drizzling at night, and the entire pasture was shrouded in mist.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement.

Mom and dad were drinking tea leisurely in the hut in the vegetable garden. The two of them were silent in the pastoral life, and from time to time they would recite poems or hum tunes.

Santiago and George's mother looked at each other. They didn't expect Fred to stand up so decisively and oppose it, let alone such a legal clause. They obviously suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated.

But my mother still talks about it from time to time. After all, that is where they have lived for decades, and they don’t know what their home is like now.

At this time, the mayor spoke. He agreed with Fred's statement that there was indeed such a legal rule.

Regarding my hometown in China, it seems to have become a vague concept.

The couple downloaded a lot of good stuff on their mobile phones. Dad listened to storytelling and hundreds of lectures, while mom watched TV series exclusive to their era, such as old classics like "Ghost Husband" and "Green River Grass".

According to the weather forecast, it is likely to be cloudy and rainy in the next week, and after that the temperature will rise further, entering early summer.

Early the next morning, the pastures were washed brand new after the rain, and the fresh smell of soil and grass filled the air.

Lin Feng got up early and walked through the mist-shrouded pasture towards the cattle. He liked to patrol his territory in such early mornings, watching the robust cattle grazing leisurely on the grass, and his heart was full of satisfaction. Mom and dad are busy in the kitchen making breakfast.

A familiar smell of home came to my face. There were hot steamed buns and porridge on the table, as well as a plate of home-made pickles.

Lin Feng stretched himself and estimated that it won't be long before he can eat fried dough sticks at home.

Eating the buns made by his mother, Lin Feng felt warm in his heart.

He remembered that when he was a child, his mother would prepare breakfast every morning and then wake him up to eat.

At that time, I would always lie lazily on the bed. It wasn't until my mother's urging became more severe that I got up in a hurry to wash up. Looking back now, those days were so happy!
He told his parents that he planned to build a house on the island in the middle of the lake. After he and Jasmine got married, he would move to the island to enjoy their life together.

My mother joked: "Then we will become relatives. You two will row a boat and drive to our place to visit relatives. I will treat you well then."

After breakfast, Lin Feng and his father went for a walk in the woods.

The two walked side by side and chatted.

Dad told Lin Feng stories about his youth, including an experience working in a national cotton factory.

Lin Feng was quite yearning after hearing this. In the past, everyone's life was very ordinary, and the relationship between people was relatively simple, without the intrigues now.

Living on the ranch now makes Dad feel like he has returned to that era.

It’s much more comfortable to deal with animals every day.

When the two were walking, the Black and White Shuangsha followed them, and later the four Gouzi brothers also joined the team.

It rained again not long after, this time much heavier than yesterday, and there seemed to be a few muffled thunders in the sky in the distance.

It intensified after dark, turning into heavy rain and continuous thunder.

Lin Feng stood by the window and looked at the rain outside. After this heavy rain, the pasture will become more vibrant.

The rain outside the window became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops poured down densely like countless thin lines, hitting the window with a crisp sound. The mountains in the distance are looming in the rain, as beautiful as an ink painting.

Turning around and walking to the table, Lin Feng picked up a cup of hot tea.

The aroma of tea overflowed and instantly filled the whole room. He slowly took a sip of the tea, feeling the warm liquid flowing in his mouth, bringing a hint of warmth.

Sipping tea through the window in the rain is a very emotional thing.

Lin Feng was actually not interested in tea. He just drank it with his parents and felt used to it.

This rain is expected to continue intermittently for several days. It is a timely rain for the pasture, which can make the grass and trees more lush and the land more fertile.

Herdsmen like this weather, as long as it doesn't turn into floods.

Sitting on the rocking chair by the window, listening to music and enjoying the night view, I fell asleep unconsciously.

There was an indescribable feeling of loneliness. Perhaps the memorial service during the day made Lin Feng feel depressed, and he couldn't feel happy for some reason.

When I woke up, I had an extra blanket on my body and didn't feel cold.

My parents had gone to bed early, and they looked at their phones and saw a few more messages from Jasmine.

Other people's girlfriends will feel scared in such weather and ask for a hug. But his girlfriend would never do that. The storm would only make her happy.

After stretching, Lin Feng opened the message and saw a line of text: It's raining in Macondo.
