I really became a king.

Chapter 60: Heshuo Yun Clan
As one of the largest families in Heshuo City, the Yun family would make donations several times every year. Especially on the old man's birthday, they would set up a porridge stall outside the door early in the morning to distribute porridge.

But today, no porridge was distributed until the sun was high in the sky, and the beggars who had gathered there kept groaning and complaining.

Seeing that it was getting late and the guests had almost arrived, Yun Shang told the servant outside the door and was about to go back when a voice called him.

"Third Master, aren't you going to give out porridge this year?" A skinny woman came over tremblingly, holding a broken pot with one third of it missing in her hand.

Yun Gang didn't look back, just waved his hand and was about to go in.

"Oh, what should I do? The child is seriously ill and is just waiting for a mouthful of hot porridge to heal him..."

The woman didn't say anything. She muttered to herself and tried to turn around and leave.

Hearing this, Yun Gang paused and looked back, only to find that the other person was trembling under his skinny body. Then he looked around and found that almost all the beggars waiting for porridge looked like this.

"Alas, life is not easy these days...Butler Li, please set up a porridge stall."

Upon hearing this, Steward Li, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a while before he stammered, "Third Master, the porridge stall was originally set up before dawn, but the first and second masters ordered it to be dismantled, saying that the Yun family is almost out of food..."

Yun Gang smiled bitterly. Even if the Yun family was poor, could they still lack this little rice? He thought for a while, glanced at his wife beside him, and hesitated to speak.

"Give alms. Today is my father's birthday. We should give alms."

After getting his wife's support, Yun Gang said to Li, "Let's set up a porridge stall. I'll provide the rice and grain."

After saying that, he walked into the door. It was almost time and the birthday banquet should begin. He clenched his fists tightly. This was the first time he hosted his father's birthday party and he had to do it well.

Seeing this, his wife beside him whispered, "Master, are my elder brother and fourth brother really not coming over?"

"Humph, they are all wicked and heartless people!"

Yun Gang said this and walked towards the backyard. Before meeting the guests, he needed to discuss with his father first.

"Ah, it's really hard for Third Master." Butler Li sighed, looked up at the plaque on the gate, and murmured, "After all, the only one who can really hold up this door is Third Master..."

The other spectators around were also whispering:
"The Third Master of the Yun Family is kind-hearted. Even in this situation, he still doesn't forget to spend his own money to accumulate blessings for the old man."

"Yes, Yun Jia Silang, the other three didn't even come here today."

"Hey, I heard that they split up a few days ago, leaving this mess to Old Master Yun and Third Master Yun."

"Alas, God is so unfair. The Yun family has been doing good deeds over the years, but why did they end up like this?"

"It was because of the third brother's daughter that she got involved. But she is indeed pitiful."

"I don't know what happened. It's been two days. Logically, there should be news."

"Yeah, why is the news so delayed this time..."

In the back hall of the Yun family compound, four or five courtyards with two entrances and two exits are connected in a staggered manner. Normally, it is very lively, but now, it is basically empty, with only one courtyard having people coming in and out occasionally.

"Dad, why did you come out?" When the Yungang couple turned the corner, they saw an old man with a long beard standing there motionless, and they hurried over.

The old man with a long beard was dressed in a brocade robe. Although his face was full of the signs of the passage of time, his eyes were still bright. He did not turn around when he heard the words, but stood there and sighed, "Before, they fought for these courtyards, but now, they don't want them all."

"Not only are these courtyards no longer needed, but even the people have left..."

Yungang walked over and held his father's arm, wanting to say something, but he opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say. These courtyards were left vacant after the brothers split up and moved away.

Yun Shang glanced at the only son who was still by his side, smiled and shook his head: "You are too honest. You still refuse to say a bad word about them in front of your father."

"It's good that you don't blame dad. They have been taking care of the family business and practicing martial arts over the years, so they are well fed and well-dressed. But you..."

"Alas, you are too honest. If you don't have a strong backer, you can't manage this family..."

Yun Shang just stood there and talked non-stop, while Yun Gang and his wife stood beside him and listened quietly.

"You can blame me for what happened to Xiaojiu. I wanted to find you a big backer, but I ended up jumping into a fire pit."

At this point, Yun Shang's lips trembled a little. Xiaojiu was his most beloved granddaughter. He originally wanted her to live a good life, but who would have thought that she would live worse than ordinary people.

Thinking of the miserable appearance of the granddaughter every time she came back, and the cold sarcasm and ridicule she endured, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. She was his most sensible and caring granddaughter, the apple of his eye, but he had pushed her into the fire pit with his own hands.

"Dad, don't be sad. I know that the three little girls can arrive in Heshuo safely every year because you secretly arrange for the bandits along the way. I know..."

Having said that, it seemed as if she thought of the poor life her daughter had lived in when she came here every year, and she could no longer hold back her tears.

"Alas, everyone flees when disaster strikes. Prince Duan's Mansion has also collapsed. After the guests have dispersed, you can go to the imperial capital and make some arrangements to see if you can bring the three of them back. I have also saved some money over the years..."

"You should move out too. There is a three-story building in the east of the city. It is big enough for your family to live in..."

At this time, there was a noise coming from the front yard, getting closer and closer, and soon the sound became clearer:

"Tong Lang, why are you stopping us? It's only natural to pay back debts."

"Yes, we heard that the Dragon Gate Competition ended two days ago, and the sons of the Lian Yun family all took the money and divided the family property. I'm afraid this house will be gone in two days..."

Tong Lang, who looked like a fat man, tried his best to stop everyone from entering the backyard. He wiped his sweat and bowed repeatedly, begging:
"Everyone, today is the old man's 90th birthday after all, please be merciful and give him a two-day grace period."

"Haha, Fatty Tong, can you wait for two days? It's only been a few days, and before we knew it, the huge Yun family has been divided into several families. I'm afraid there won't be anything left of this house in two days!" The shopkeeper Ding with a mustache sneered and took the lead to continue walking towards the backyard.

Tong Lang saw that he couldn't stop the crowd, so he stomped his feet and was about to say something, but his wife beside him grabbed his arm. She then sighed, stomped her feet, and chased after them.

Looking at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, Yun Shang seemed to have expected this. He pointed at Tong Lang and laughed:

"Look, I, Yun Shang, have been kind and virtuous my whole life, and have never done a single evil thing. I have four sons and two daughters, but in the end, only one son and a nephew are willing to come near me..."

The voice was desolate, containing the bitterness of the world. The servants nearby also looked miserable after hearing it. The crowd that was rushing over in a menacing manner also stopped, and many of them had embarrassed expressions.

Among the people present, 90% of them had received favors from Mr. Yun, but now...
