Su Qingya was truly bewildered by Lin Feng. She couldn't understand his actions but dared not say anything to him.
Just then, a message came from her sisters' group chat.
"Where is Xiao Linzi with you guys?" Luo Keke inquired.
Xia Xue and Tang Wan both indicated they didn't know.
Seeing that she was the only one left to reply, Su Qingya recorded a short video of Lin Feng leading people to demolish the house and sent it via her phone.
"Su Qingya, what is Lin Feng doing at your place? And why is Tang Pinliang there too?"
"Lin Feng said he's going to tear down my house, and Tang Pinliang found the excavator," Su Qingya replied truthfully.
"Tear down your house? Did you and Xiao Linzi argue? Is Xiao Linzi angered by you?" Luo Keke was shocked, mistakenly thinking Lin Feng was throwing a tantrum.
"No, no, it's not like that. He seems to be tearing it down to rebuild," Su Qingya said, just as she heard a loud rumble. The excavator had started working.
Her house had two rooms, covering an area of over a hundred square meters, with a front yard and a vegetable garden in the back. In the urban village, it was a fairly standard layout. She truly couldn't fathom why Lin Feng wanted to tear it down. This was the place she had grown up in. Now, with it being inexplicably demolished, Su Qingya felt an inexpressible sense of reluctance and heartache.
"Lin Feng, perhaps we should stop. This house is quite good, it can still be lived in for many more years," Su Qingya couldn't help but tug at Lin Feng's arm.
"Qingya, while I'm free these days, I'll create an even better living environment for you."
"You have to believe me, I'm a construction expert!" Lin Feng's words instantly left Su Qingya speechless. She wasn't the assertive type; she was more of a 'do as you're told' kind of person. How could she argue with Lin Feng? She could only watch with wistful eyes as the house she had lived in for over twenty years was slowly flattened.
She couldn't imagine her mother's reaction when she returned and saw that her home was gone! She would probably be so angry she'd die! Su Qingya dared not think further. She could only place her hope in Lin Feng, hoping he could finish rebuilding the house before her mother got back.
At this moment, the sisters' group chat was also buzzing with talk about Lin Feng demolishing Su Qingya's house.
"Sister Qingya, young brother Lin Feng is probably concerned about your living environment and plans to build a better one for you himself."
"You have to trust young brother Lin Feng; he's not a reckless person. He must have his reasons for doing this," Tang Wan soothed.
"I agree with Miss Tang. This guy Lin Feng grew up in the mountains and loves to build things with his hands."
"Those short video accounts that renovate old houses are very popular on video platforms now. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of house Lin Feng will build," Xia Xue said with a smile.
"Sister Yaoyao, you should say something too. Xiao Linzi is going to build a villa for Su Qingya with his own hands. It's bound to be very interesting." Luo Keke's interest was piqued; she loved watching people do things with their hands.
"That's great. Countryside living is something many people aspire to these days. If one could have a beautiful house in the countryside, it would surely be very comfortable to live in," Liu Mengyao also expressed her support.
"Sister Yaoyao, then let's go take a look too, film some videos, and record our lives," Luo Keke said impatiently.
"Alright, consider it an outing," Liu Mengyao had no objections and was also looking forward to Lin Feng's craftsmanship.
Thus, Liu Mengyao, Luo Keke, along with Shen Xinyue and Lu Jingzhe, drove two cars to Su Qingya's home. The moment they arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them. Under the work of the excavator, Su Qingya's house had already been reduced to a large, flat area. Su Qingya sat pitifully on a small stool, without even a shelter from the wind and rain, looking utterly forlorn.
"Sister Yaoyao, Xiao Linzi is too ruthless! He just visited Su Qingya's place and casually knocked down her house. He really has ideas!" Luo Keke laughed, her chest heaving, feeling a bit sympathetic towards Su Qingya's plight.
