697: The Lan Family's Past (Part 2)

Immediately after he appeared, he pulled the Child in cotton clothes away and then humbly bowed and apologized repeatedly to the Young Master in front of him: "Young Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"It's my Child who is ignorant, please don't hold it against him!"

As he spoke, the Man directly held the Child on his lap and slapped him hard with his large hand: "Told you not to listen, told you to make the Young Master unhappy! Whatever the Young Master says is what it is, do you have a place to interrupt?!"

The Man's strength seemed great, but in reality, nine-tenths of it was lost on the Child's body.

The Young Master opposite saw this scene and looked happy: "Good, well done!"

Evening.

The cotton-clothed Child followed behind his Father, looking sullen, clearly holding a grudge.

When the Man in front stopped, the Child also stopped, turning his head to the side, indicating he didn't want to be bothered.

"Xiao Bao, are you still mad at Father?"

The Child didn't speak.

"How about Father makes you rice to eat when we get back? The white, fluffy rice, it's incredibly soft and sticky when you bite into it, much tastier than chaff!" The Man said in a light tone.

However, his words still didn't get a response from the sullen Child.

"I want to eat candied hawthorn." The Child mumbled this sentence sullenly.

"Candied hawthorn? You really dare to think!" The Man laughed and picked up the Boy: "Father will buy you candied hawthorn later, okay? Today we'll eat rice first, good things should be tasted one by one, right?"

"And you, you little brat, you're really something, you can actually beat the Young Master down, as expected of my son!"

The Man spoke, a hint of pride on his face.

The Child's face was even more filled with arrogance: "That's right, if that jerk hadn't used a stick, I could have still beaten him down!"

"Oh dear, my little ancestor, you can't act like this again today!" The Man quickly cut off the Child's subsequent thoughts: "We are servants, if we anger the Young Master again, you and your Father, and your Grandmother, the three of us will be in trouble."

"Why are we servants, aren't we all from the same Gaopeng Family? My surname is Lan family, and that guy who cheated also has the surname Lan family." The Child said with dissatisfaction in his heart.

"That's different." The Lord shook his head, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing further.

Walking in the setting sun, the Child didn't notice that his Father's steps were a little unsteady.

Night.

"How is it? Is this rice delicious?" The Lord looked at the Child frantically shoveling rice and asked with a smile.

"Delicious!" The Child's mouth was full of rice, speaking indistinctly.

"Then eat more." Beside him, an Old Woman with a very weak complexion, with a kind face, poured half a bowl of rice from her bowl to the Child.

"Mother, you are still sick, the doctor said you should eat more good things, only with nutrition will the illness get better." The Man next to him said a little reluctantly.

"Oh, the medicine I drink every day is already nutritious enough, I've taken such expensive medicine, do I still have to snatch this rice from you?!" The Old Woman's tone became a little heavier.

Hearing this, the Child who was eating suddenly felt that the rice in his bowl didn't seem so delicious anymore.

"Mother, do you know? The Lan family Family Head has already said that our Lan family Family merchant team went to the overseas Immortals and obtained an Immortal Pill! As long as you take this Immortal Pill, the illness will definitely be cured, and it even has the miraculous effect of prolonging life! As long as I perform well, the Lan family Family Head will definitely reward us with the Immortal Pill, and then your Mother's illness will be cured, and we won't have to spend money on medicine every month anymore!"

When the Man said this, his tone carried a hint of excitement.

"That's an Immortal Pill, how could the Lan family Family Head give it to us." The Old Man said, shaking his head: "Don't work too hard, I feel much better after taking medicine for so long."

"Mother, don't worry, I can definitely cure your illness." The Man's tone was firm.

And the Child who was eating, when he looked at his Father, seemed to notice that his lips had become a little paler, as if he was enduring some unspoken pain and pressure.

The next day.

At the Lan family Family meeting hall.

The pot-bellied, well-fed Lan family Family Head stood on the high platform, looking down at the Lan family Family servants below.

"Today, this Lan family Family Head wants to announce one thing."

"Our Lan family Family merchant team has already been overseas, and has even obtained an Immortal Pill!"

"This Immortal Pill has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing bone!"

"Originally, this Lan family Family Head was keeping these pills for those who made significant contributions to our Lan family Family."

"But this Lan family Family Head thought of everyone." Speaking of this, the Middle-aged man on the high platform looked down at the crowd below: "Everyone is a part of the Lan family Family, everyone is a member of the Lan family Family."

"As members of the same Gaopeng Family, originating from the same Bloodline, everyone has the same surname, everyone is equal, and should work together, concentrating everyone's strength, and moving together towards a more glorious direction, this is the meaning of the Gaopeng Family's existence!"

After speaking, the Middle-aged man looked at the servants below who were moved to tears, and spoke again loudly: "So I have decided that that Immortal Pill will be left for everyone!"

"In the next month, I will see who performs well, and whoever does will be qualified to possess that Immortal Pill obtained from overseas!"

The Middle-aged man's voice was loud.

And the servants below were even more ecstatic.

At the dinner table.

The Man excitedly recounted the words the Lan family Family Head had said earlier, repeating them to his Mother and Child.

"Mother, your illness is about to get better, the Lan family Family Head really promised to reward us servants with the pill!"

After speaking, the Man looked at the Child next to him: "Xiao Bao, when Father gets the Immortal Pill, I'll buy you candied hawthorn!"

"But candied hawthorn is too expensive, so I'll buy some hawthorn and sugar, for the price of one string, we can make three strings!"

The Man was now full of energy.

"Yay!" The Boy was also very happy to see his Father so happy.

Only the Old Man's face was full of worry, constantly telling the Man not to work too hard.

A building in the Lan family Family.

The Child wearing worn-out clothes was knocked to the ground by the Young Master.

"Haha, I'm not using a stick now and you still can't beat me? Do you admit defeat now?"

The Child in brocade clothes grabbed the cloth-clothed Boy's hair and said fiercely.

The cloth-clothed Boy didn't say a word.

"Boring, as expected, servants are just servants, a Child without a Mother, and his Father doesn't know when he'll run off." The Young Master pouted.

"My Father is still here, he can't leave!" The Boy suddenly said with a firm voice.

Hearing the response, the Young Master became excited, grinning and saying: "Who says your Father is still here? I say he's not here and he's not here, you just don't have a Father or Mother!"

"Nonsense!" The Child was in Wrath and immediately pounced towards the Young Master.

The two wrestled together.

After a short time, the Young Master covered his scratched face and ran away crying.

That night.

The Boy and his Father were pressed onto Mu stools and severely beaten by other Lan family Family servants in front of the Young Master.
