Chapter 87: The Harmony House

Song Peng stood on the charred remains of what was once his dream. Harmony House, his humble organic farmhouse, lay in ruins after the devastating fire that had consumed it. Smoke still billowed from the wreckage, carrying with it the acrid scent of loss. His heart ached as he surveyed the scene, the weight of guilt heavy on his shoulders.

 

Song Peng's mother approached him with a mix of anger and disappointment etched on her face. "Song Peng, look at what you've done! You've brought shame upon our family. How could you be so reckless?" she exclaimed, her voice laced with bitterness.

 

Song Peng lowered his head, his voice trembling with regret. "Mother, I never meant for this to happen. I wanted to create something meaningful, to make a difference in the world."
