Chapter 406 - 406 406 No Money Just One Life
?Chapter 406: Chapter 406: No Money, Just One Life Chapter 406: Chapter 406: No Money, Just One Life The old man and the old lady returned home.
The house was full of noise and commotion.
Fang Xiaoshan was tied up, thrown in the corner, while the eldest couple had long vanished without a trace.
Several loan sharks, drunk and disheveled, were scattered around the table, chicken bones littered, peanuts strewn across it, the smell of alcohol overpowering.
The old man glanced at his chest on the cupboard, which had been pried open, and the two bottles of Maotai that had been gifts from his second son were long gone, now drunk by these scoundrels.
The moment Xiaoshan saw his grandparents, he was overjoyed—his grandparents were back! He was definitely going to be saved.
“Grandpa, Grandma, did you bring back the money?”
This was his lifeline.
The room fell silent.
The leader dropped his cup and staggered off the bed, approaching the old man.
“Old man, where’s the money?”
A hand as big as a fan reached out, stretching right up to the old man.
The old man turned, picked up Xiaoshan, and dragged him to the leader’s feet.
“No money, just a life. He’s yours now, do whatever you want with him, just take him away quickly and stop causing trouble at our home. This isn’t Fang Xiaoshan’s house. If you don’t leave, I, barefoot, won’t fear those with shoes. I’ll call the police station; there’s gambling and usury going on here. Let’s see who ends up better off,” the old man said, laying everything on the line.
All the way there, the old lady had no idea what to think, but the second son’s words had deeply shaken the old man.
Xiaoshan had been spoiled by them.
Feeling invincible, he dared to keep doing the same thing over and over.
There was definitely no money. Given that, the old man decided to be ruthless, setting up a ‘do or die’ situation to teach his grandson a lesson, or else he would become utterly lawless.
Now bold enough to sell his wife to pay off debts, last time he shouldn’t have paid off the two thousand for him, which led to it being five thousand this time.
This was his fault.
It wasn’t the second son’s fault.
Who is born owing service to anyone?
Nobody owes anybody!
That’s why the old man completely gave up on Xiaoshan for the first time.
Not only was the old lady stunned, Xiaoshan and the debt-collecting leader were too.
What was this move?
Had the old man lost his mind?
“Old man, this is your grandson!”
The leader pointed at Xiaoshan on the ground.
“He’s my grandson? I’m his grandson, maybe? Such an unworthy descendent can be taken by anyone who wants him. I, the old man, want to live a bit longer,” the old man said bluntly.
Xiaoshan suddenly realized that his grandfather was serious.
“Grandpa, Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? I’m Xiaoshan, your grandson. Your most beloved grandson. I’m the only seedling of the Fang family. If something happens to me, the Fang family will be done for. Grandpa, have you forgotten?” he truly couldn’t accept this sudden onset of senility in his grandfather.
How could his grandfather not recognize him, he had calculated all the possibilities, but hadn’t seen this move coming from his grandpa.
This was really pulling the rug from under him.
The leader chuckled coldly, “Old man, are you taking us for a joke? I must tell you, we recognize money, not people. If you really mean what you said, there’s nothing we can do about it, you’re completely justified. But don’t underestimate us. Boys, since the old man said so, drag him out, break his legs. We’ll come for the money tomorrow, and if there’s no money, I’ll have no choice but to take an arm. One part a day, let’s see how many days Fang Xiaoshan can last.”
A few strong men agreed and dragged Fang Xiaoshan out to the yard.
