Before reaching Li's house, a little boy came running towards us.

The boy was running too fast and didn't pay attention to his feet. He accidentally stepped on a small stone on the ground. His foot slipped and his face was about to come into close contact with the ground.

"Ah!" The boy subconsciously cried out in fear.

Lying on the ground wasn't a big problem, except that there was a small sharp stone on the ground.

Once you slip and fall to the ground, your face will definitely be injured. If you get your eyes pierced, it will definitely cause irreversible consequences.

Fortunately, when the boy was about to fall, Li Mengyue ran over and grabbed the boy's clothes from behind with one hand, preventing the boy from possible injury.

After Li Mengyue put the boy down, the boy blinked, looked at the sharp stones, then looked at his sister who saved him, and said, "Thank you for saving me, but I have to go find grandpa to save Mingyu and Minghao. I'm leaving first."

Before the boy ran away, some of the children with Li Mengyue asked the boy, "Zebao, what happened to Mingyu and Minghao?"

"Zhu Zi, Grandma Li wants to sell Ming Yu and Ming Hao. I want to go find Grandpa."

"Ah! Sell Mingyu and Minghao, sister, let's go over there quickly!"

Li Mengyue had just arrived and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she was about to ask others how to get to Li's house.

The system's voice suddenly rang in my mind: [Host, please go over there quickly. Your two younger brothers are about to be sold by the old hag.]

【Sell my brother? 】

[Yes, I forgot to tell you that after you and Yun Ran swapped identities, your parents gave birth to a pair of twin brothers for you.]

Hearing this, Li Mengyue urged the children to go to Li's house quickly.

In less than half a cup of tea, several people ran to the vicinity of Li's house. The walls were full of villagers standing inside and outside the walls. The villagers watched the excitement and talked about it:

"I thought it was Li Ran who sent someone again, but it turned out to be the matchmaker. Old Mrs. Li wanted to sell her two little grandsons. What a sin!"

"It was not good at all. Seeing that Li Ran recognized her biological parents and became the daughter of an official, the Li An family could live a rich life with gold and silver. Who knew that a month ago, Li Ran sent someone to tell Li An and his wife that their biological daughter was not self-disciplined and ran away with a beggar. After Li Ran disappeared, Wan Niang became sick with longing for her daughter, and her condition became more and more serious. Then she heard that the daughter she had cherished for 16 years was not her biological daughter, and her biological daughter was missing. She couldn't bear the blow and fell ill."

As soon as the villager finished speaking, another villager continued, "The key is that Li An went hunting in the mountains to raise money for Wan Niang's medical expenses. He encountered a big tiger and was lucky to survive, but his leg was broken. Old Lady Li didn't call a doctor and let Li An die on his own."

"Old Lady Li was so cruel as to sell her two grandsons because Li An had a broken leg. From now on, he can't even do farm work, let alone hunting. The eldest son of the second branch of the Li family went out to look for his sister and hasn't come back for two years. The youngest ones are sick and can't make money for the family. They have to spend money. With Old Lady Li's stingy personality, how could she tolerate this?"

"It's just a pity for Li An's wife. When Li An first brought her home, she was such a pretty girl. She gave birth to four children, three sons and a daughter, including twins. What a blessing! If it were in my family, I wouldn't let Wan Niang do so much work."

"Come on, don't you see what your son looks like? How can he be worthy of Wan Niang? Well, Wan Niang gave birth to three boys for the Li family, and she did a lot of housework. She has done a lot of hard work, but after so many years, she was tortured by Li and became unrecognizable. Look at how she beat her."

"If Li An was fine, Old Lady Li would definitely not dare to make plans against Ming Yu and Ming Hao. But now that Li An is unable to move, I think Old Lady Li could really succeed."

Li Mengyue listened to the villagers' discussions and basically understood the whole story.

"Mom, please don't sell my Mingyu and Minghao. I don't need to take medicine for my illness, and I can work more. I will eat less and use the money saved to help my uncle and nephew pay their tuition."

Hearing the woman's pleading voice, Li Mengyue knew that this was her original mother.

"Give me, let me."

Li Mengyue immediately pushed aside the people who were blocking her way and rushed into the yard, not caring about the villagers who were staggering behind her after being dragged down by her.

In the middle of the yard, a woman who looked to be in her thirties was kneeling. She was thin and had a miserable look on her face due to the hardships of life.

However, it can still be seen that the woman has a beautiful face and must have been a great beauty when she was young. She is the original owner's biological mother, Wan Niang.

She hugged a boy with her left hand and stretched out her right hand, trying to pull the other son from her mother-in-law in front of her. The two boys were twins who were only six years old.

When Wan Niang saw her son in her mother-in-law's arms, she was so scared that she burst into tears. She also cried and begged her mother-in-law to let her son go, her face full of helplessness and despair.

Old Lady Li had a sharp face and looked very mean. Not only did she not let the boy go, she pointed at Wan Niang and cursed, "Bitch, you still have the nerve to say that. You eat and work all day long, earning very little money all year round, and you still want to pay the tuition for the third child. You can't afford it even if you don't eat or drink for the rest of your life. If they take the third and fourth children away, they can give them forty taels of silver directly, and I won't have to worry about the tuition for the third child for two years."

"Mom, are you really going to ignore the mother-son relationship we've had for so many years?"

"Li An is out. It seems that Li An's leg injury is quite serious. Otherwise, why did Li An stay in the room for such a long time?"

"Of course, look at the trail of blood behind Li An. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I guess his life is ruined."

Li An didn't care that he couldn't move his legs, nor did he pay attention to the villagers' comments. He only knew that if it was any later, his two younger sons would have been sold by their stepmother.

Old Mrs. Li dared to beat and scold Wan Niang, but she was more patient with her stepson Li An. After all, half of the family's money was earned by Li An from hunting.

So Mrs. Li tried to act gentle and said to Li An, "Second son, you know the situation at home. Your brother said he wants to go to the capital to study under a famous teacher. With the guidance of a famous teacher, he will have no problem taking the exam again. If the third son wins the first place, your family will also benefit from it."

"Besides, you still have a son. When you get old, there will be someone to see you off. Sending Xiao San and Xiao Si away will not only give your brother money to become an apprentice, but also save the family food for two people. It's hard to find a way to kill two birds with one stone. Okay, tell Wan Niang to stop making trouble and let me take them away. They are waiting."

When Li An heard his stepmother's shameless words, he was so angry that his hands were shaking. If his leg was not broken, he had not taken good care of himself or eaten well for the past month, and his body was weak, he would never give his stepmother the opportunity to sell his son.

Wan Niang hugged her son tightly and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Don't sell my Mingyu and Minghao, they are my flesh and blood!"

Oh God, please open your eyes!
