Chapter 52 Old Man Li’s Dream Shattered (2/2)



Hugging Xiaomei and being intimate with her made me feel as happy as if I were in heaven.

However, the money he had saved was spent like water. A few days ago, when he went to see Xiaomei again, he was kicked out because he did not have enough money. He did not even get to see Xiaomei.

This time, since there is a channel for him to make extra money by collecting debts, he naturally will not let it go.

"Oh! So the fake daughter is your granddaughter."

When Old Lady Li saw that the gambling thugs were interested in Li Mengyue, she was filled with hatred and secretly cursed the little bitch for being fickle and shameless.

However, she only dared to think about these words in her heart and never said them out loud.

"Yes, she is my second son's daughter. If you take her away, you must give me the IOU."

"Of course, we are still trustworthy. Where is the fake daughter?"

When Old Mrs. Li heard this, she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. The second son had just separated from them and was not here.

Seeing that Old Lady Li was hesitant to speak, the monkey's face darkened and he said grimly, "You won't lie to us, will you?"

"How could that be? Li Mengyue is really my granddaughter. It's just that we have separated and she is not here."

When the monkey heard this, he knew that the other party had not lied to them. It didn't matter whether the family was divided or not, as long as the fake daughter was a member of this family, it would be fine.

They didn't care about these things, they just knew that they could sell the fake gold for silver so that they could have more money and live a good life.

"Okay, take us to find someone."

"My arm is broken, I can't move."

Seeing the miserable state of old lady Li, the thugs showed some kindness and did not force her, but they did so out of consideration for old man Li.

"Old man, get up and take us to find your granddaughter."

Old man Li sat slumped on the ground, not saying a word and ignoring what the thugs said.

He really suffered a huge blow.

You have to know that his lifelong obsession was that his son would pass the imperial examination and become an official, so that he could live the life of a grandfather.

He left home when he was a teenager and worked as an apprentice in the city of Dongfu. He had to endure countless hardships, be looked down upon, and be looked down upon by many people.

In the eyes of those powerful and wealthy people, people like him are very lowly. Every time he comes to their store, he is very arrogant, as if they should be grateful if they look at him for even a second longer.

What left the deepest impression on him, and what he would never forget for the rest of his life, was...

Once, he was carrying jewelry to a customer when the customer's dog suddenly rushed out and bit his leg tightly.

The bite was so painful that he kicked the dog hard while struggling.

As a result, the dog was kicked away, and he got into big trouble.

When the customer saw her dog being kicked, she immediately called the servant who was waiting outside the shop and beat him up severely.

If the shopkeeper had not come forward to plead for him, he thought he might have been beaten to death one day.

But the guest was still not willing to give in and insisted that he kneel down and kowtow to the dog to admit his mistake.

Although the shopkeeper treated him well because he thought he was diligent and honest, he did not want to offend powerful people for a small servant like him.

As he knelt on the ground and was forced to kowtow to the dog in humiliation, no one knew what he was thinking.

He was just recovering from his injuries, and the shopkeeper was still willing to let him stay upstairs, but he proposed to leave.

The shopkeeper also knew what was bothering him, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay and just paid him the wages for that month.

After returning to Tang, he took the few taels of silver he had picked up from the guests on the day he was beaten, and returned to his hometown with his wife and children.
