But for some reason, that worthless son went mad and incurred a huge debt when his grandson was seven years old. He ran away with the money before the creditors could come knocking.
Faced with debt collectors, they had no choice but to give up their house. In the end, the whole family was evicted and moved to the countryside where they still had some farmland.
Her daughter-in-law couldn't endure hardship and went back to her parents' home to remarry, leaving her furious and constantly berating her son and daughter-in-law. She'd never experienced hardship before, always been waited on hand and foot, and now, raising a child alone, she was truly struggling…
The villagers bullied the child, and the people at the academy ridiculed him.
That child's father ran away and his mother abandoned him, and he didn't have a good life afterward, so he suddenly turned to the dark side.
He went to find out that his father had kept a mistress and had an illegitimate child.
They beat him up and kicked him out. When the original owner went to find him, the child was barely alive, and the old lady had died of anger.
The original owner's idea was simple: to live together with her grandson and depend on each other for survival. She hoped her grandson would pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame, and ideally, she wanted to give her son a good beating.
Just then, the debt collectors opened fire, and Mo Yan stopped when her memory returned. "Bring Yuan Si here to me immediately, don't scare him."
The old woman heard this and quickly went over, while Mo Yan went outside on her own.
In his past life, the original owner was terrified when faced with this situation for the first time, and he did whatever they said. But this time…
Mo Yan walked into the lobby and looked at the few fierce-looking people.
"Is there something you need?"
“Madam, we brothers don’t want to make things difficult for you, but your son Bai Shouye has lost money and borrowed a lot of money from our gambling den. We would be grateful if you could do us a favor.”
They were all carrying sticks and other weapons. "As long as you don't resist, we'll take the stuff and leave."
In their past life, they were like bandits and robbers, robbing everything, including this old house.
Bai Yuansi and his mother were brought over, and Mo Yan frowned as she looked at her daughter-in-law.
"Why did you bring Yuan Si here? I'll handle things here."
This child was somewhat frightened in his past life.
"Mother, I'm not thinking that whatever happens, we can face it together as a family." Daughter-in-law Jin Yan'er's gaze was firm, and even though she was very nervous, she still held Bai Yuansi's hand tightly.
Bai Yuansi also watched those people warily.
"Hmm, that works too." Mo Yan thought this daughter-in-law was actually alright.
"Since Bai Shouye is the one who owes money, why don't you go find Bai Shouye?"
Mo Yan calmly pulled them aside, "Even if you want money, you should at least have a box. Why did you come with sticks? Are you planning to rob us?"
The messenger went to the yamen and said that someone was attempting to commit murder in broad daylight.
Upon hearing Mo Yan's words, the servants tried to move, but they moved even faster and rushed over. Mo Yan smiled.
They rushed forward, and in no time at all, all of them collapsed to the ground. No one even saw what happened.
Then they saw Mo Yan rush out like a gust of wind, and one by one they were sent flying.
Then he lay down on the ground.
"Why can't we talk this out properly? Why do I have to resort to violence? Can't we talk this out now?"
Those people quickly stood up and bowed and scraped to Mo Yan. "We're willing to talk things over, but this house has really been mortgaged to our gambling den."
“I understand. I didn’t say I wouldn’t give you a few days. Also, Bai Shouye will be responsible for his gambling debts. I’ll only give you this house.”
The rest is none of our business. You can chop off their hands and feet as you please, understand?
