Chapter 44: A Penny-Penny Scam



Chapter 44 A cheap commodity bought for one copper

Yuan Baobao didn't forget the business, she looked at the second uncle very seriously.

When they heard Baobao mention the child again, several people pricked up their ears.

[The second uncle's uterus is dark, indicating that the child is not doing well, and the middle is slightly red, not good, the little cousin is worried about his life recently. ]

Liu Haoran was completely stunned. What did he just hear?

Little cousin? Yuan Baobao was talking about Jingrong?

And he said that he was not doing well?

He turned around and looked at his son again, who was looking at him aggrievedly. The chubby little guy had never suffered since he was a child!

Especially Gu Xixi, who doted on his son so much, holding him in his mouth for fear that he would melt, holding him in his hands for fear that he would fall, and at home he was spoiled like a little bully.

How could she not live a good life?

As for the bloody disaster, it is even more impossible! This child has always been by the side of adults, and there are many people serving him.

"Jiaojiao, I..."

Liu Haoran opened his mouth and wanted to ask for clarification. But Old Master Liu glared at him fiercely:

"Come out with me!"

Liu Haoran wanted to find out what happened just now, but seeing his father's unhappy face. He was smart enough to shut up and ask his sister alone later!

It was surprising to hear the voice of her little niece, but she couldn't curse her son.

In the study, the door was closed, and there were servants guarding outside!

After hearing the whole story, Liu Haoran's eyes widened and he was stunned.

"Dad, this... is impossible?"

Jing Rong is not his biological son, how could he believe it?

Thinking about what Yuan Baobao said just now, he...felt it was ridiculous.

"Yuan Baobao is a little special, but..."

Liu Haoran paused, trying to organize his words.

"But... I have watched Jingrong grow up since he was a child. He is definitely my son and won't make any mistakes!"

"Gu Xixi will never do anything to let me down."

"It must be Baobao who made a mistake."

He repeated it again, as if trying to convince himself.

Old Master Liu also knew that his son would find it difficult to accept it for a while, and he sighed heavily.

"Baby is different from ordinary people. Do you know the two major events that happened in the capital recently?"

"The Minister of Rites suddenly discovered that his wife and eldest brother-in-law were having an affair, and none of his three sons were his!"

"Later, his biological son and grandson were found in a remote mountain village!"

"The right prime minister... was corrupt and embezzled silver. More than a dozen ministers from that faction were pulled out, and almost all of them had their property confiscated and their families exterminated! Until now, the matter has not been resolved! Many people in the capital are in danger."

Liu Haoran is not a fool. He opened his mouth and his lips trembled slightly:

"Dad, you don't want to tell me that this is all the work of the baby?"

Old Master Liu nodded with difficulty:

"Your mother is not in good health. The doctor said that she can only live for three months at most. It was the baby who found the blood-sucking worm in the quilt and saved your mother. Didn't you notice that your mother looked much better this time?"

Liu Haoran was silent.

"I know it's hard for you to accept this, but...Haoran, think about it, this child has been replaced right under our noses, what does this prove? They were prepared!"

"I also know that you can't bear to part with Jingrong, but that child is your own flesh and blood. Now he is in danger, and his life may even be in danger!"

"That's your son!"

"Jingrong enjoys the glory and wealth of our family, but your biological son..."

Old Man Liu's eyes were wet, he raised his head, trying not to let tears fall.

Liu Haoran clenched his fists, thinking of the possibility that his father said, his heart was broken.

"I... Dad, but where can we find him?"

Five years have passed. Where was his biological son taken?

"Listen to what the baby says! We can't act rashly now. If the other party finds out, Dad is worried that they will take the child's life!"

Liu Haoran's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't expect that his beloved son was someone else's.

If he knew who this person was, he would definitely skin him alive and grind his bones to ashes!

[I still have to go out and take a look. I always feel that my little cousin is not far away from me.]

In the house not far away, Yuan Baobao was still thinking about something.

It would be fine if she didn't know before!

Now that she is here, she must save her little cousin.

...

"Ah..." In the simple yard, debris was piled on the ground, and the child in the corner cried miserably.

A skinny little boy curled up on the ground, with blood oozing out of the wounds on his face.

His clothes were torn and covered with whip marks. In some places, the blood and flesh were turned outward, which looked shocking.

A middle-aged man, holding a whip in his hand, swung it viciously:

"You ungrateful bastard, what do you want to say to them?"

"Haha, asking for help?"

"Don't you think about who you are? People give you some money, do you think they are Bodhisattvas?"

"If I had known you would be restless, I should have peeled off your skin..."

The boy trembled even more when he heard this!

He gritted his teeth tightly and dared not say a word!

"Boss, forget it!"

After beating for an unknown amount of time, a middle-aged woman came over and glanced at the little boy with contempt:

"If we beat him to death, we'll have raised him for nothing. His body is small and soft, so we can perform that..."

The woman said with a charming smile, pointing to a small altar not far away.

The man put down the whip and looked at the boy: "That's right!"

After the two of them left, the little monkey quietly ran over, raised his hand and poked the little boy's nose.

The boy opened his eyes and saw the little monkey, tears couldn't help falling.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the little monkey's face.

The little monkey's eyes were also full of tears, and his claws were gesturing quickly!

The boy nodded and looked at the house not far away!

There was a smell of rice inside, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

There should be no food today!

Another hungry day!

Their father was too cruel, he was afraid that one day when he opened his eyes, he would become a little monkey.

He still remembered that two years ago, he had a younger brother!

But suddenly one day when he woke up, his younger brother was gone! And there was a listless little monkey in his house.

When the stall owner was not around, the little monkey hugged him and cried silently. At that time, he finally confirmed that the monkey was his missing brother.

"Didn't you eat? Try harder!"

The woman was lying on the simple big bed, and the boy was massaging her feet!

"I'll let you try harder."

The woman had some patience, but not much!

Seeing that the boy was still weak, she sat up and kicked him hard in the heart.

The already thin boy fell to the ground.

The woman came over, raised her foot and pressed it on the boy's face:

"Little Stone, what can you do? It's better to raise a dog than to raise you."

"Don't play dead, lick the water on the ground for me!"

"One less drop, and I'll make you into a monkey tomorrow!"

The boy was so scared that he shook even more violently.

The woman stepped on the boy hard, and when she saw the boy's face turn pale with pain, she laughed: "You are such a bastard, no wonder your parents didn't want you when you were born!"

"One copper, we bought you with one copper, haha!"
