Chapter 121 The Qian Family Visitors (1/2)



"Old man, do you know how to get to Miss Mengyue's house?"

"Mengyue, I know you, come with me!"

The old man walked in front of the carriage, heading towards the An family's home.

After walking for an incense stick of time, we arrived at his house.

The old man stood not far from the An family's house and said to the driver, "We're here. Mengyue's house is just ahead."

"Thank you. This is the fee for showing you the way."

The driver said thank you and gave the old man some change.

The old man led the way and had no intention of asking for money. He wanted to say no in a firm manner.

But thinking about the situation at home, he still reached out to take it.

The driver thought the old man was very interesting. He was obviously not dressed well and looked very poor.

When he was given the silver, he didn't take it immediately, but hesitated for a while before taking it.

But he didn't care what the other party thought. As long as he could find Miss Mengyue's home, he believed that the lady would be willing to give not only one tael of silver, but ten taels or even a hundred taels. After all, the Qian family was so poor that they only had money left.

What's more, Miss Mengyue said that she was confident that she could cure the young master's illness, which was something that the master and his mistress would never dare to dream of.

Now that there is hope, I am naturally unwilling to let it go.

The old man felt complicated as he watched the carriage heading to his second son's house.

Ever since the gambling thugs came to his house and said that his youngest son was expelled from college for plagiarism and had to borrow money from usurers to cover up the loss, and that he had to pay a hundred taels of silver, it dealt him a great blow.

Over the years, the whole family saved money to support their youngest son's studies. However, not only did he fail to pass the imperial examination and become an official as he wished, but he was also completely cut off from the path of studying for the imperial examination. How could he not be so angry that he wanted to vomit blood?

In addition, the youngest son also swindled all the money in the family, which made him even more desperate.

These days, he stayed at home every day. Although the villagers didn't know about his youngest son, he was too embarrassed to go out.

It would come out tomorrow, or he accidentally overheard the conversation between his two granddaughters, Rou and Qiao, who said that their second uncle's family was collecting locusts, and they paid one cent per pound. Could they catch them in the fields?

When he heard it at that time, he didn't care. What locusts? One penny per pound. He must be so anxious to burn so much money.

An is his son, how could he not understand? He would never do such a thing, not to mention that An's leg was broken, making it even more impossible.

But someone passing by his house was also talking about locusts, how many kilograms he caught yesterday, how much he sold them for, and how useful the catching net was.

This reminded him of what his two granddaughters said, and he thought of going out to take a look.

If An really collected locusts again, he would have to tell him that he couldn't do such thankless work. It would be better to use the money to honor him.

But when he arrived at the door of An's house, he felt a little timid. He knew that he had treated his eldest son and second son badly over the years.

Now that he had broken his second son's heart, he could no longer disturb his second son's peaceful life, so the old man secretly left again.

In fact, Mengyue noticed the old man coming over. Even if she didn't notice it, there was still the system.

Apart from talking about eating delicious food and urging her to earn gratitude points, there is nothing else for Tong to do every day.

So, out of boredom, he started observing people within a hundred meters.

Before, the Tong had regained his super-hearing ability, and could hear the words and thoughts of those who wanted to harm her.

After rescuing more than a dozen children from human traffickers, not only did the Infinite Breeding Base have plant options, but the system could also hear anyone's words and thoughts.

As soon as the old man arrived not far from their home, he told her.

No matter how regretful and annoyed the old man was, Mengyue didn't care. As long as they didn't bother her, everyone would be in peace. If the old man was not clear-headed, it was not her fault.

The old man got one or two taels of silver and left.

There was a knock on the door of the house.
