Lang Hui sighed as he spoke of the things that happened to him, turns out that after taking care of Lang Hui for a few months, the Zhu family got greedy. At first, they indeed took proper care of him, he would get to eat everything that the others were eating and wear clothes that were brought for other grandchildren of the Zhu family but then—— the first aunt of the Zhu family started indulging herself in gambling addiction. The Zhu family had no money to repay the debt that she has accumulated after months of borrowing money from here and there, in the end, the Zhu family decisively took out the money from Lang Hui's share.

  After they did it once, they went on and did it a second time and the third—— because Lang couldn't go and visit the Zhu family because of the contract that she signed as the brothel worker, the Zhu family got bolder and bolder, they started to smuggle more money out of the amount that Lang sent them to take care of Lang Hui and later on they even started to look at Lang Hui like he was some street rat that crawled in their house.

  They liked the money they could get from Lang in the name of Lang Hui's sickness as well on account of taking care of his meals but they hated it when they really have to spend the money on his well being. Especially, the First aunt who was addicted to gambling to her every penny that was spent on Lang Hui was like another penny snatched from her pocket that she could have used to gamble and get back what she has lost.

  The Zhu family started acting like a family of misers, they stopped paying an extra sum of money to take care of Lang Hui and only gave him a few coarse pancakes and cabbage soup every day. This much was still alright at least he wasn't beaten by anyone but then First aunt Zhu came up with a suggestion of selling Lang Hui to a family of rich missy, according to her the Lang family was on the verge of extinction since they all signed life slavery contract with the mistress of the brothel and will never be able to return, even if they were to sell Lang Hui to a rich miss, no one will find out a thing and they still be able to wrench money out of Lang's pocket by this excuse and that excuse in the name of Lang Hui.

  The suggestion provided by the Zhu family's first aunt was accepted by all, after all the children of their daughters were more closer and loveable to Mother Zhu and Daddy Zhu when compared to a mer born out of their mer- son. They wanted to save the money for their grandchildren who will stay with them till the end instead of wasting it on a mer - grandson who would be married off once he grow up.

  So, after collectively agreeing to the suggestion that First aunt Zhu gave them… The Zhu family sent Lang Hui to the Bai family. The young miss of the Bai family was narcissistic, arrogant and a spoiled brat because she was loved by her parents a little too much, she would kick her servants when she was unhappy and even kill them if her mood didn't approve. To her, the life of a servant meant just as much as her clothes did—— meaning she had no regard for the life of the poor.

  After Lang Hui was sent to that family, he was bullied by the young miss of the Bai family and one day when the young miss of the Bai family returned home after losing to gain the favour in the game of cards and lost her farmhouse in the capital city which was so rare that even the Empress also had only a few of them, she took her anger out on Lang Hui who mistakenly broke her teacup.

  It was a small mistake but he was dragged around the house like a street dog, the young miss whipped and slapped him but when her anger didn't ease, she asked two sturdy momos to throw a log of wood on his body. The log was bigger and heavier than his entire being—— how can Lang Hui take the weight of it? He passed out as soon as the log was dropped on his body because of severe pain.

  Once the young miss Bai dragged his body to appease her anger and left him half alive, the Bai family sent him away to the Zhu family with a hefty compensation to treat his injuries. The Bai family's young miss was an unreasonable young girl but her parents were smart enough to know what they could and couldn't do, they already gave Lang Hui decent treatment and even gave him a good sum of money so that his injuries could be treated further.

  But the Zhu family kept the money and didn't spend a single coin on his treatment and dumped him in the shack behind the house. It was because of this that Lang Hui hated the Zhu family more than he hated the Bai family, at least the latter knew how to compensate him for all the injuries that he have suffered through but the former —— heh, the Zhu family was the one who sent him to the Bai family yet they didn't even take care of his injuries even when they had the money to do that!

  After listening to what their son had gone through in the Zhu family, both Lang and Zhu Qian's expressions couldn't help but become dark. They were so furious, that they wanted to drag the Zhu family members one by one and crush them under a log of wood… did they think that it was all fun and games just because they were not the ones who were getting hurt? And just because they thought that Lang and Zhu Qian wouldn't be able to return home in this life they treated their son like this?

  How dare they!!!
