Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 86: You Can Only Look, Not Touch (17 First Subscription Requested!)

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing mission one: find your former grandmother at the orphanage, show her filial piety and repay her kindness, and let her have a happy and peaceful old age."

"Task reward: Cash blind box, experience points: 50."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have leveled up to level 3."

"Daily cash reward has been upgraded from 20000 to 40000 per day."

"Current experience points: lv3, 0/400."
"Task 3: Find Shen Yuting and help her escape her suffering."

"Task reward: Random blind box, experience points: 50."

"Congratulations, host, you have received one cash blind box, one random blind box, and 50 experience points!"

"Current experience points: lv3: 50/400!"

"Open the blind box?"

"Turn on."

Xu Mu did not hesitate at all.

He's desperately short of money—cash blind boxes...

Other system rewards are completely useless.

These are all shares, and dividends won't be paid until next year or the end of the year.

Xu Mu's head was split open!
Well... you can only look, not touch.

When Xu Mu acquired the shares of Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel, he hadn't thought about selling them yet. But after acquiring the shares of Yinlun Shares, Xu Mu was obsessed with selling them. After all, it was hundreds of millions of yuan in cash. Xu Mu had never seen so much money in his life... not even in Happy Beans.

But who would have thought that the system would say it couldn't be sold!

Be nice!

Hopefully, this time the blind boxes will offer cash instead of shares!

Otherwise... I really can't accept it!
"Open the cash blind box! Congratulations, host, you have received 666 million yuan in cash!"

"Ding! 6660000 yuan has been deposited into your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China account, leaving a balance of 13240594.23 yuan!"

Then, the blind box in front of me was opened once again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining an Aston Martin DBS."

"The vehicle is at the Aston Martin dealership in Shanghai, and all the necessary paperwork has been legally completed through the system. The host only needs to go to Shanghai to pick up the car!"

Xu Mu heard the system notification.

I quietly opened Autohome.

Because Xu Mu really doesn't know much about cars.

He was most familiar with the Rolls-Royce Phantom and the Mercedes-AMG series.

To be honest, he didn't know much about Aston Martin.

You mentioned Ferrari? To be honest, Xu Mu has heard of some, such as the Ferrari SF90, F8, or the entry-level Roma.

When Xu Mu saw the Aston Martin DBS, especially with the string of English letters at the end, he was dumbfounded...

The full name of this car is Aston Martin DBS Superleggera V12 Coupe.

He really doesn't know anything about cars!
But when Xu Mu searched for the full name of the car, the price that popped up was over four million.

Be nice!

Xu Mu's first thought was, "Can I sell it?"

"All assets and equity awarded to the host by the system are non-sellable!"

"..."

Xu Mu didn't have any strong feelings about Aston Martin sports cars!

How about getting a Rolls-Royce Phantom?

Xu Mu preferred to sit in the back of the Rolls-Royce, looking at the starry sky ceiling above.

Enjoying the service of two beautiful women beside me!
Want to drive a supercar yourself?

Honestly, it really strains your back!
"Damn it..." Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Well, I guess I'll just have to make a trip to Shanghai when I have some free time.

Xu Mu felt it was pointless to make a special trip to Shanghai.

Besides, giving away this luxury car... really makes no sense.

I really don't need it!

Not as good as a Rolls-Royce!

Xu Mu muttered to himself, "I hope the system will send me a Rolls-Royce next time!"

However, the system completely ignored Xu Mu.

"..."

We can't sell it... So, let's rent this car to Wang Zhengjian.

Isn't this guy in the car rental business?

Renting the car to Wang Zhengjian will allow me to earn some money every year!
According to him, the cost of a car is four million, and it can be recovered in about two years, after which it will be pure profit.

Isn't this a huge profit?
Xu Mumei thought to herself with a smug satisfaction.

Silent all night.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and sparrows chirped and chattered outside.

After listening to Xu Mu's words last night, Ye Muling immediately started contacting her old contacts to see if she could find some well-known domestic designers to discuss cooperation in this area... such as serving as the company's front office.

Ye Muling is always the first one to arrive at the company every day.

After arriving at the company, Ye Muling began to make contacts.

Around nine o'clock, Wang Jingrou arrived at the company.

When Ye Muling saw Wang Jingrou appear, her eyes immediately lit up. "Jingrou, you graduated from the China Academy of Art. Is your mentor a well-known professor in the industry? Could you contact her to attend our opening ceremony? We can provide an attendance fee."

“Yes… but our advisor is a professor with a rather eccentric temperament. I can connect you with other professors. They usually attend events outside, and you can do it as long as you pay them…” Wang Jingrou thought for a moment and looked at Ye Muling as she spoke.

She is now part of the company.

The company hasn't opened yet, and everything we're doing is in preparation for the opening... Naturally, they all need to work together to make this a success.

"Is there a phone?"

"I'll have to ask in our class group chat."

"Besides our fine arts professors, our school also has design professors. I can ask them for my contact information to see if I can get in touch with some well-known professors in the field. As long as the money is right, I think we can negotiate..."

"Good good!"

Ye Muling revealed a relieved smile.

……

After Xu Mu got up, she called Wang Qiang.

"Are you up yet?"

"I'm up! I'm very disciplined," Wang Qiang said with a smile. "When I used to work in Hangzhou, I sometimes had to work part-time as a designated driver, and sometimes I wouldn't have time to sleep all night, but I still had to be at the company on time the next day!"

"That's awesome!" Xu Mu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he heard Wang Qiang say that. "I'm not as hardworking as you. Right now, I just want to lie down and relax..."

"Why lie down at such a young age? If you lie down, you'll find life meaningless, and all you'll think about is that living is pointless! Since you have money, you should definitely find a way to enjoy life!"

“You’re right…” Xu Mu nodded in agreement. “Then come to Lingmu Design Company. After Mengyan arrives, drive your Maybach over to pick me up, and I’ll take you to see the factory…”

"Row!"

Because of Liu Jianguo's investment, Bao Yong is under tremendous pressure.

Previously, the pressure was economic, but now it's performance pressure!
With so much money being poured in, it's incredibly busy!

Besides building the turtle farm, the most important thing for him is to recruit people!
Hire employees to raise turtles!

After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Mu saw Wang Qiang slowly drive up in his Maybach.

"Mr. Xu, get in the car!"

"Today, driver Xiao Wang is here to serve you!"

"You son of a bitch..." Xu Mu cursed with a laugh.

Just as Xu Mu was about to get into the car, he noticed a group of elderly people chatting on both sides of the road... Xu Mu was dumbfounded. Last time it was a Rolls-Royce, and this time it was a Maybach... He wondered how they would find out about it and get back to his parents.

Because Xu Mu's old house was in the middle of the road, next to the most bustling Longmenzhen circle at the village entrance.

Even a passing dog can get a few words of criticism.

"Xu Mu, how's the construction of your house going?"

"You've really made a fortune, haven't you? Last time it was a Rolls-Royce worth millions, and now it's a Maybach... You're really something!"

"Xu Mu, why haven't your parents come back? Will they be back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"..."

They saw Xu Mu open the car door and immediately asked loudly.

"Isn't the house still under construction? You can see it, right? As for my parents, they'll probably be back this month, right? Because it's my grandpa's birthday at the end of August, and once the house is finished, my dad has to come back to see it, right?"

"What wealth? It's all my friend's cars! My friend is rich, I'm just his lackey."

Xu Mu chuckled and responded twice before getting into the car.

"Xu Mu, you're so rich, why are you still living in that old house? Don't you live in Yangjiashan?"

“My parents and sister don’t know about this yet. At first, I didn’t know how to tell them, and I still don’t know how to bring it up now… After all, this money came from such an unbelievable source that they can’t understand it and are afraid that I’ve done something bad outside… I can only take it one step at a time.”

"Is that so?"

Wang Qiang didn't understand, but he could only nod.

After all, his parents are different from Xu Mu's parents.

Moreover, he doesn't have parents now.

The household registration booklet only shows my name on one page!

"Yes, last time it was a Rolls-Royce, this time it's a Maybach. I always say that a friend is coming to pick me up."

“How could I tell them I have money now? If they ask my parents for money, do you think I'll lend it to them or not? They've borrowed money before! And when they did, they'd say they'd pay it back in three months or a year, but it always took three to five years.”

"Damn it, my parents didn't earn money easily either... To put it bluntly, all the money in my family was earned by my mother bit by bit in the factory, and by my father bit by bit with a hammer."

"They make it sound so easy for them, asking to borrow tens of thousands of yuan right off the bat. How long would my parents have to work hard to earn that much? We could have improved our family's life with that money, but instead, they borrow it and then try to take advantage of us, not paying any interest for so many years... If I put 100,000 yuan in the bank, how much interest would I have earned in five years?"

Xu Mu felt disgusted just talking about it.

More than once.

This has happened several times.

But Xu Mu's parents were easy to talk to, and there was nothing they could do... After Xu Mu came of age, she persuaded them, and over the years she basically stopped lending money out.

After all, everyone is having a tough time!

With a slight touch of your upper and lower lips, you can open your mouth and say fifty or one hundred thousand.

When my parents bought that house in Ningcheng, I asked them for money, but they didn't say a word!

They were all disgusting... so Xu Mu was reluctant to live in the countryside.

As for building the house, Xu Mu simply wanted to make his parents proud.

They suffered their whole lives. When their family was poor, they still adopted them without hesitation, and they were looked down upon by relatives because their family was poor and their parents couldn't earn money...

Now that I have the ability, I naturally want to make my parents proud!

But now is not the time to be proud.

Once my parents find out I'm rich, some cars will naturally be able to drive to our house!
There's a reason why people don't flaunt their wealth!

However, if you have money but don't drive a luxury car home, it's like wearing fine clothes in the dark!

Showing off is fine.

Borrowing money is not an option.

Wang Qiang drove to the breeding farm.

Upon seeing Xu Mu's car drive into the factory, Bao Yong immediately stood up.

"coming?"

"I just came to take a look... and brought someone along."

“Wang Qiang, my good brother from the orphanage, has come back from Hangzhou. He happens to be unemployed, so I was thinking that with our big business now, we could have him come and manage our Douyin live streaming business!”

“He specializes in e-commerce in Hangzhou, and I think he can help expand his sales network!”

“Sure, I was just worried about not having anyone to help me…” Bao Yong smiled and shook hands with Wang Qiang. “My name is Bao Yong.”

"I'm handling everything at the farm right now, and finally a brother has come along."

"Come, come, have some tea with us!"

After the three people sat down, Xu Mu looked at Bao Yong and said, "Didn't I tell you to recruit people?"

“Hiring people isn’t that easy! You have to find reliable workers. Think about the size of our factory. What if we hire an unreliable person? Once he figures out how profitable our turtles are, he might steal one or two from the factory. Who can withstand that?”

"I just can't accept it!" Bao Yong had his own concerns.

"That's true..."

You really have to find someone trustworthy to do this.

"Then we can only ask your mom to come to the factory to help out. She'll just feed the turtles and change their water every day. There doesn't seem to be anything else she needs to do."

"Forget it, the venue is too big, and I haven't even spent all of the 20 million that President Tang gave me, let alone the 100 million that will follow! I'm already looking for a new venue nearby, this one is only a little over four acres, it's definitely not going to work!"

"However, I've already asked Liu Neng to inquire if there's a small company with over ten acres of land that wants to transfer ownership. We can rent it to them all at once... Then, we'll hire more reliable relatives to work here!"

"Okay, I understand!"

"By the way, I'm planning to go to Shanghai tomorrow. Mr. Wang called me and said there's a batch of baby turtles to ship... and all the glass tanks and everything here have been disinfected, and the drainage and water inlet have been set up by the workers!"

"The boilers and everything else are all arranged. We can have Mr. Wang bring all the turtles from Shanghai over! It's the off-season right now, isn't it? We'll bring over his breeding turtles first... and then we'll buy them from him through a purchase agreement."

"Once things are settled in Shanghai, we can have him come over and manage a factory."

Bao Yong spoke at length.

During this period, Xu Mu could sense how busy Bao Yong was.

I come to the turtle farm as soon as I get up.

I'll probably be busy until very late tonight!

"Sure!" Xu Mu nodded. "Then, shall we have Wang Qiang accompany you?"

“Let’s all go together,” Bao Yong said after thinking for a moment. “The two of us will take Wang Qiang along to get acquainted with the business, invite President Wang to dinner, and we can talk to him about this. If we can get President Wang to come, then our farm will already be halfway to success!”

"Damn, that makes a lot of sense..."

Xu Mu nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's set off tomorrow afternoon."

"I have some things to take care of this afternoon, I'll come pick you up later... Wang Qiang, you stay here and learn from Boss Bao."

"it is good."

Xu Mu drove his Maybach away from the farm.

Upon arriving at Xiang Sheng Century Plaza, Xu Mu had a simple lunch.

That's how I came to Lingmu Design Company.

"I'm here for work!"

"As a company employee, you have absolutely no sense of time, Xu Mu, I'm going to deduct your salary!"

"..." Xu Mu stared wide-eyed at Tang Ruobing and said, "Damn it, why are you deducting my salary?"

"Just because I'm a shareholder and the company's accountant, why can't I deduct your salary? You're four hours late, so I'll deduct four hundred!"

"Then I'm just going home! They've already deducted four hundred, what's the point of me going to work now!"

Xu Mu rolled her eyes...

They're really just finding new ways to fleece themselves, aren't they?

Moreover, Tang Ruobing, this ordinary woman, would try every means to retaliate against me as soon as she gained a little power.

So what if I bullied you a little too much before?

What did I do wrong? Blame your dad!

"That won't do! If you skip work, I'll deduct eight hundred from your pay!"

"???"

"My monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan, and you're deducting eight hundred from my paycheck? Why don't you just rob me?"

Tang Ruobing blinked and smiled, "I am indeed robbing them!"

"..."

Xu Mu was too lazy to pay attention to Tang Ruobing, that idiot.

He walked towards Shen Yuting.

"Tingting, what do you think of the work atmosphere?"

"It's alright, the older sisters take good care of me..."

Shen Yuting nodded, revealing a sweet smile.

Seeing the new iPhone that Shen Yuting had placed on the table, Xu Mu nodded slightly, "That's good, as long as you can get used to it."

Xu Mu had complete confidence in Wang Mengyan's abilities.

She can definitely consider everything Shen Yuting needs in every aspect of life.

Sure enough, this butler wasn't joking; he really was useful!
"That's good. You can ask them anytime if you don't understand anything..."

"By the way, where's your sister Ye?"

"She's in her office upstairs; she's been making phone calls all morning."

"Huh?" Xu Mu looked puzzled. "What?"

“President Ye wants to contact some well-known designers…” Wang Jingrou stood up and looked at Xu Mu, saying, “I introduced her to some university professors, and she wants to invite these professors to attend the press conference.”

"Besides these, there are also some media friends."

Tang Ruobing then stood up and said, "I've also introduced many others; they're all well-known designers in the industry!"

"And where did you meet him?"

"It's because of my dad's connections!"

Tang Ruobing raised her head and said with great pride.

"Yes, yes, yes... I almost forgot you're a rich heiress!"

Xu Mu then looked at Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei, "Have your Douyin short videos taken off yet?"

"Filming has already begun, but we still need to spend time learning."

"Take it easy……"

Xu Mu, acting like a leader, gave a few instructions.

Finally, Xu Mu looked at Shen Yuting and said, "Tingting, come with me."

"I'll take you somewhere."

"Okay, brother!"

Without any hesitation, Shen Yuting stood up and looked at Tang Ruobing, saying, "Sister Bingbing, I need to ask for leave. I'm going out with Brother Xu Mu!"

"go Go……"

Tang Ruobing originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard Shen Yuting's sweet and coquettish manner and her calling her "Sister Bingbing," she immediately softened.

Especially after learning about Shen Yuting's situation, she felt even more sorry for this little sister.

It's fair to say that Shen Yuting is now the darling of the entire company.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu took Shen Yuting to play with the yo-yo.

Once outside, Xu Mu braved the scorching sun and got into the car.

The air conditioning inside the company was in stark contrast to the blazing sun outside.

Xu Mu felt as if her skin was on fire!

"This damn August is unbearably hot!"

"Brother, where are we going?"

"I'll take you to the police station to get your household registration re-registered... Yesterday afternoon, your sister Mengyan just took you shopping and spending money."

"I'll just contact the head of the police station and get your household registration sorted out!"

Xu Mu started the car.

It's connected to Maybach's CarPlay.

"Uncle Tang".

"Have you met your KPIs?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"It's done, hahaha! I have to thank you for taking down this shady casino in one fell swoop."

"We've arrested about a hundred people, and they've been interrogating them all night long..."

"That's good!" Xu Mu said with a smile. "Have you interrogated that Pang Wenshan I mentioned?"

"I've interrogated him. He was completely out of his mind while playing cards, and he kept muttering something about 500,000 or something, I don't know what he meant! I think he's mentally unstable now, but based on the information you provided, I interrogated a few other gamblers and learned what you said before..."

Tang Mu took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. "This man is a beast! He actually murdered his own wife in the casino for gambling..."

"Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly! By the way, this person also has a daughter named Shen Yuting. Isn't she a child from your old orphanage?"

Xu Mu nodded and said, "Yes, I went to the casino yesterday to get the agreement to sever ties."

“Tingting is in my car now. I’m bringing her to your place so you can help me with my household registration.”

"no problem!"

"But this household registration can only be registered in the city."

"It's alright, it's better than still being stuck in that scum's household registration, right?"

"That's true... Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Upon arriving at the police station, Xu Mu brought the three documents he had signed and sealed the day before to Tang Mu's office.

After handing the items to Tang Mu, Xu Mu looked at Tang Mu and said, "Let's register this household registration at my villa in Yangjiashan. I'll give her a lease agreement, okay?"

"Yes, that's fine. Besides, she's already a resident of Tianji County, so she doesn't need a temporary residence permit. If she were from out of town, she would need a temporary residence permit issued after six months..."

Tang Mu took Shen Yuting's ID card and led the two of them to the household registration office.

"Brother, we meet again!"

Seeing her colleague in the household registration office, Xu Mu smiled and said, "Tingting, this guy is the kind person who helped us find out where Grandma Huang is. You'll have to trouble him again today."

"Brother, thank you for your trouble!"

"You're too kind, you're too kind!"

To be honest, this colleague blushed when thanked by such a cute young girl as Shen Yuting...

Shen Yuting is 1.62 meters tall, and today she specially wore a little skirt and the white canvas shoes that Wang Mengyan picked out for her yesterday.

She had her hair cut into an airy fringe, which perfectly showcased her cute, round face.

Shen Yuting is an adorable little girl.

In about ten minutes, everything, including the ID card and household registration booklet, was done...

"You'll have to go to the service center to pick up your ID card and household registration booklet. We're all connected online, and we don't have machines here that can issue these."

"Understood!" Xu Mu nodded and took the relevant documents handed over by his colleague.

"Thank you!"

"Uncle Tang, let's retreat."

"You can continue with your interrogation!"

"Ok."

After leaving the police station, Xu Mu and Shen Yuting got into the car.

"Brother, do you think Dad... will go to jail?"

Do you want him to go to jail?

“I hope so!” Shen Yuting nodded. “I think about him going to jail all the time, because if he’s in jail, my life will be peaceful… It’s just that it will be hard on my mother…”

“My mother was so young. She could have had a better future, but she was beaten to death by my father in a casino because of me.”

"It's alright." Xu Mu gently stroked Shen Yuting's hair and said softly, "The law will punish anyone who breaks the law!"

"The law is fair."

Xu Mu took Shen Yuting to the community service center to process her ID card and household registration.

Then, Xu Mu looked at Shen Yuting and said, "Tell me where your mother is, and I'll take you to see her."

"it is good!"

Shen Yuting sent a location to Xu Mu.

After receiving the location, Xu Mu went to a nearby funeral home, bought a lot of things, and stuffed them into the trunk of the Maybach.

Following the navigation, they then headed to the village where Shen Yuting's adoptive mother lived.

She was buried in the village cemetery.

Because Pang Wenshan couldn't afford the funeral expenses at the time, the money was raised by the village, which is why Shen Yuting's adoptive mother was buried in the cemetery...

After parking the car, Xu Mu led Shen Yuting to a tombstone.

The tombstone bears a photo of Shen Yuting's mother.

To be honest, Shen Yuting's mother is quite pretty.

Its name is Ye Luoye (Fallen Leaf).

A very poetic name.

To be honest, parents who could come up with such names in the 1980s and 90s must have been cultured.

Xu Mu bought all the paper money, paper cars, and paper houses he could find in the trunk and brought them all up.

There was also a bunch of chrysanthemums.

Actually, it's not a good idea to visit graves in the afternoon.

But Xu Mu didn't care about that.

Shen Yuting didn't care.

She just wanted to visit her mother!

Shen Yuting knelt in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times.

"Mom, I've come to see you!"

"Brother Xu Mu is back! She saved me! She pulled me out of this sea of ​​suffering... Dad... Pang Wenshan has also been punished by law. If you know this in the afterlife, you can rest in peace!"

As Shen Yuting spoke, she began to count the paper money she had just bought.

"Mom, you haven't enjoyed much in your life. Your daughter burned some money for you. If you can rest assured in the afterlife, I will come to visit you every year!"

"This car and this house were both bought by Brother Xu Mu! Brother Xu Mu is a very good person, and we will continue to live as before."

"And Brother Wang Qiang, the three of us met again! Brother Xu Mu saved me like a hero. He was like a ray of light, pulling me out of the darkness... It's a pity, I'm so sad. If only Brother Xu Mu could have appeared like a hero sooner."

"Then you won't die, right?"

"Mom, I really miss you!"

"But life doesn't offer 'what ifs,' and you can never come back!"

"But don't worry, I will take good care of my grandparents."

Standing before the tombstone, Shen Yuting wept uncontrollably, saying many, many things.

But she knew that everything was irreversible...

Mom is gone, and that's it for good.

The setting sun hangs halfway up the sky.

Xu Mu glanced at the time; it was already past three o'clock.

"Tingting, come visit Auntie again next time."

"Let's go see your grandparents while we still have time... After your mother passed away, your grandparents, who were old and gray, had to bury their child. They must have been incredibly sad..."

"I have an uncle, and an older aunt..."

“Back then, Pang Wenshan even came to his maternal grandparents’ house to cause trouble!”

Shen Yuting stood up again, took Xu Mu's hand, and looked at him with endless sorrow in her eyes.

"Brother, let's go."

After getting into the car, Xu Mu went to a nearby bank to withdraw some money before taking Shen Yuting to her maternal grandparents' house.

This is a three-story building.

The front door of the house was tightly closed at the time.

"Grandpa, grandma!"

Shen Yuting shouted inside.

But there was no one.

"I'll make a phone call to my grandma."

Shen Yuting took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Grandma, where are you? I've come to see you!"

“Your grandfather and I are packing peaches in the field. Yellow peaches will be on the market soon, so we thought we'd do some work to earn some living expenses.”

Where are you now?

I'm standing at your doorstep!

After waiting for about ten minutes, Shen Yuting's maternal grandparents came back from outside, carrying hoes and wearing sun hats.

"Tingting, why are you here?"

"Grandpa, grandma!"

Shen Yuting threw herself into her grandmother's arms and said, "I just went to visit my mother's grave, and then I came to see you all..."

"I am free now! My household registration has been established."

"Thanks to Brother Xu Mu!"

Shen Yuting introduced Xu Mu and then briefly recounted what had happened in the past two days.

"Great...great, that's good!"

"This scumbag finally got his comeuppance!"

Upon hearing Shen Yuting's story, the two elderly people wept with joy.

"What a pity for my daughter... she was so young, and this beast killed her!"

"It's alright, Grandpa and Grandma. Once the case is investigated, there will definitely be appropriate compensation."

"However, he will never come back... Please accept my condolences!"

“What’s the use of money? My daughter will never come back… And what’s the use of this scum getting his comeuppance now… What kind of justice is justice delayed?” Grandma couldn’t help but wail loudly as she thought of her painful memories.

The pain of a parent outliving their child is something most people cannot bear.

"You two, come in and have a seat..."

Grandpa, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up while smoking a Double Happiness cigarette. "It's all in the past, let it go. Some things are beyond the control of ordinary people like us... But Xiao Mu still wants to thank you. If it weren't for you, Tingting would still be in that hellhole."

Xu Mu followed her grandfather into the house.

He noticed that his grandfather had a limp.

Grandpa, what happened to your foot?

"It's all because of that beast who broke Tingting's grandfather's leg... We didn't have the money for treatment back then, so it's been delayed until now, and it's beyond cure!"

"When did this happen?"

"About ten years ago... I was getting old, and it didn't matter whether I treated my legs or not."
