Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Old Man Lin held the whip in his hand and repeated calmly, "Hand over the valuables on you, or I will kill you."

After saying that, he quickly whipped each of them on the ground with a whip, and then continued to intimidate:

"If you can't come up with the money, I'll beat you all to death."

Old Lady Liu, who was beaten and hesitant, was the first to speak:

“Ahh~ Spare my life, I don’t know who you are, but you may have found the wrong people. Our Liu family is extremely poor and has no money at all. These warriors may have kidnapped the wrong people. Please let us go, wuwuwu, please let us go…”

Boss Lin rolled his eyes and asked:

"No money? How is that possible? Your precious grandson hangs out in brothels and gambling houses every day, and uses expensive paper and pens, inkstones, and brushes. If your family is so poor, how can you afford them? Tell me, are you trying to trick us and not willing to pay?"

After saying that, Boss Lin grabbed the vine whip and hit Liu Hao, making him scream. Old Lady Liu was heartbroken and cried, "That evil creature is indeed squandering money every day, but the money was all borrowed by him! We old couple don't know anything about this!"

When Old Man Lin heard this, his expression became even uglier. He said viciously, "Stop talking nonsense! Since you have no money, use the house and land to pay off the debt!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Liu collapsed to the ground. She begged bitterly, "Please let us go! The house and the land are the foundation of our lives. Without them, how can we live?"

However, Old Man Lin was not moved at all. He ordered Boss Lin to continue whipping the Liu family to scare them and give them the illusion that he was about to take over their property.

At this time, Liu Hao begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, that money was borrowed by me. It has nothing to do with our Liu family. Our family is so poor that we have no money at all. Moreover, the money I used to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone was all paid by my aunt. If you want to ask for money, go to my aunt. She, her family is rich. Yes, the old Lin family she married into is rich. You can go to her."

Liu, who had been beaten to the point of having no strength left and lying limp in Lin Lao Er's arms like a puddle of mud, had an extremely shocked expression on her face. She was trembling all over and spoke tremblingly:

"Hao...Hao'er, what nonsense you just said! Where did my aunt get so much money? Our Lin family is not rich, and there is not much money at home! My aunt usually lives frugally and finally squeezes out some money from her teeth. That is all for your study and progress, hoping that you will have a bright future! How can you be so ungrateful and use the money to visit brothels, gamble, and even borrow foreign debts! How can you do such a thing, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, how could Hao'er become like this?"

When the Liu family heard this, they all fell silent, and the whole scene became unusually quiet for a moment. However, at this moment, Mrs. Liu's voice suddenly rang out:

"Mother Chun, what's the point of you nagging here? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not giving birth to a son for Yinshan, so you have no status in the Liu family! Hao'er is your eldest brother's only son, and the only male among our Liu family's grandchildren, so of course we have to treat him better! What's wrong with you helping your nephew as an aunt? Maybe when Hao'er becomes successful in the future, he can help you. By then, won't your Yinshan still have to rely on our Hao'er to break pots and pans?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu's confused expression suddenly became firm. She nodded vigorously and said resolutely:

"Mother is right! It's all because of me that I'm useless and couldn't give birth to a son for Yinshan. It's also because of this that I have no status in the Liu family! Not only that, I even have to be sneaky and save money and food at home. But it doesn't matter. If Hao'er can make a name for himself, then it's worth it for me, as his aunt, to pay any price!"

Then she immediately continued:

"Good men! Please let Hao'er go! My family really doesn't have much money. If you really need money, you can go to my Lin family. My husband's family has hundreds of taels of silver now! Moreover, I have a daughter who is very good at bringing wild rabbits, wild boars and even wild deer from the mountains back home. This has made a lot of money for the Lin family, and there is so much meat at home that they can't eat it all. As long as you are willing to let our Liu family go, I am willing to take you to my husband's house and snatch all the money and meat for you. I only ask you to be magnanimous and let us live!"

Liu begged for mercy with tears in her eyes, her tone full of despair and helplessness. As she spoke, she leaned her shoulder tightly against Lin Laoer and shrank behind him from time to time, fearing that these people would suddenly hurt her.

Her eyes swept over these people from time to time, her eyes were full of fear and pleading. However, her words revealed her protection for the Liu family, her dissatisfaction with the old Lin family, and her resentment towards her daughter. It seemed that in her opinion, the reason why she and the Liu family encountered such danger was entirely because of the incompetence and cowardice of the Lin family.

Old Master Lin was so angry that his whole body was shaking. Old Man Lin was no less angry. He stroked his chest and gasped for breath. He looked in disbelief at his second daughter-in-law who was talking so much and even revealed the secrets of their Lin family in just a few words. Then he looked at Old Master Lin who was hiding behind his second daughter-in-law like a turtle and kept silent. He was so angry that he could not control his temper.

Old Man Lin picked up the whip and hit Lin Lao Er and Liu on the head. Lin Lao Da also kicked them a few times. Even Lin Lao San took the opportunity to boldly pull Liu Hao's hair and beat him up, making him scream:

"Ah~ stop hitting me, I'm a scholar, the face and head of a scholar cannot be hit, please spare me, please don't hit me in the face, I'm a student in a private school, I'm going to take the exam for a scholar in the future, if you want money, go to the old Lin family, why are you arresting our Liu family, the son of the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Gensheng, is in the same private school as me, he is rich, he is really rich, I took him to brothels, pleasure boats and gambling houses, it was all his money, I really have no money, if you need money, go to them, please let me go, please, please let me go, I still have to take the imperial examination...ah~ please stop hitting me..."
