No sooner had he finished speaking than several burly men emerged from inside. Sun Daniu recognized them and his expression instantly changed. He tried to run away, but was quickly restrained.
"I'll see where you run to today!"
One of the scarred men stepped forward and punched Sun Daniu without saying a word.
"Hey, you damned bastards, what are you doing! Let go of my grandson!"
Li had no idea what was going on, but seeing that these people were no good, she pounced on them like a madwoman.
The Lu family members sat together eating fruit and drinking tea, watching this dramatic scene with great enjoyment.
These people happened to be looking for Sun Daniu's whereabouts, and they decided to be good people and help them find him.
Sun Daniu is quite cunning. When he borrowed money from someone, he fabricated a fake identity and gave them the information of Erzhu from the next village. Erzhu has been in a bad situation because of him these past few days.
When the Lu family found them, these people were still bullying people at Ren Erzhu's house.
On the contrary, the culprit got away scot-free and even came to his house to beg for a small manager's job.
"You old hag, this is your grandson, isn't he? He owes us three hundred taels of silver, and he'd better pay it back today, or I'll chop off both of his hands!"
Li was shocked; she couldn't even imagine how much three hundred taels would be.
She looked at Madam Sun in disbelief, pointed at her, and said, "You...you deliberately harmed my grandson like this!"
Li always thought that Sun was a soft-hearted person. She believed that as long as Sun Daniu was brought here and allowed to see him, Sun would surely soften and arrange a good job for him.
But she never expected the Lu family to be so vicious, bringing these thugs to beat her grandson right in front of her.
She wanted to help but was powerless to do so, because she couldn't even get close before being pushed away.
Sun Daniu kept getting beaten, and Li Shi gradually became afraid. She shouted at Sun Shi to stop those people and tried to grab Sun Shi's clothes, but was blocked by the maids. Everyone watched coldly, and only she and her eldest grandson suffered.
No matter what he said, the scarred man still took out a dagger, preparing to cut off Suan Da Niu's fingers one by one.
"Ah—no, no!"
Li's voice was shrill. She struggled to crawl to Sun Daniu's side to shield him, and Sun finally spoke.
"Seeing blood is bad luck, take the person away."
She had indeed been soft-hearted time and time again in the past, which allowed her family to manipulate her. But this time she had learned her lesson. As long as she didn't care or pay attention, she wouldn't be taken advantage of.
Scarface and his companions knew that the Lu family was not to be trifled with, so they tried their best to avoid conflict with them. Upon hearing this, they were even quite polite, cupping their hands in greeting to Madam Sun before dragging Sun Daniu away.
Seeing her eldest grandson being dragged away, Li hurriedly followed. Jiang Jiuniang gave Yue Shu a signal, and Yue Shu followed, grabbing Li who was about to leave and saying, "This is the last warning from our Lu family to you. If you dare to come again, it won't be as simple as it is today."
When facing Li Shi, Yue Shu was not as respectful and polite as she was to the Lu family. Instead, she had a gloomy face and accurately conveyed Jiang Jiu Niang's meaning.
"After all, only if you all behave yourselves can your eldest grandson live."
Li looked at her in terror: "What...what did you say? What do you want to do to my Da Niu?"
"His life or death from now on depends entirely on your performance, so you'd better watch yourself."
After Yue Shu finished speaking, she slammed the door shut, forever isolating Li Shi from the outside.
Li could no longer care about anything else and chased after the group of people.
But the group simply mounted their horses and left, and no matter how hard Li tried to catch up, she couldn't.
She wanted to go back to find the Lu family, but she couldn't even get into the village.
Sun Daniu's mouth was gagged and his head was covered with a black cloth bag. He had no idea where he was being taken and was filled with panic. He was jostled around for a long time before finally stopping.
"I'm entrusting the people to you now. It'll be a pleasure working with you."
Scarface threw Sun Daniu at the other man's feet with a smile on his face.
The other party smiled sincerely and said, "Don't worry, someone will send money back every three months. You won't be short a single penny of the five hundred taels I promised."
"Mmm..."
Sun Daniu didn't know who he had been sold to, or where they would take him. At this moment, he truly hated his grandmother. If it weren't for his grandmother's deception that she would find him a reliable job, he wouldn't have been found by these people and sold to another group of people.
The man found him annoying, so he slapped him unconscious and ordered his men, "Take him on his way. Once we get there, make him start working. He must earn 500 taels within three years!"
"yes."
The man was satisfied then, mounted his horse, and returned to the Lu family.
