"Daddy, save me!"
"Lu Chen, you are really worse than a beast!"
Crying, roaring, scolding...the noisy sounds lingered around Lu Chen's ears, making his brain buzz and about to explode!
When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to see a beautiful woman tightly protecting the girl in her arms, while a group of arrogant gangsters were teasing her.
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, he had really traveled through time.
He comes from modern times. He was an orphan since he was a child. He relied on a work-study program to get into a prestigious school. After graduation, he worked as a doctor in a large hospital.
With his superb medical skills and amazing talent, he became the attending doctor within a few years. Countless patients came to him for treatment. Yesterday, after Lu Chen performed an unknown number of operations, his body was overly exhausted and he collapsed on the operating table. superior……
"Lu Chen, you can't even handle a woman. You're so stupid. If you delay your good time, I won't deal with you!"
A middle-aged man with a big belly and dressed in gorgeous silk said with an unhappy face.
"Old Ghost Hong?"
Lu Chen frowned. In his dream, he had absorbed the memory of the original owner. The original owner was also named Lu Chen. His family used to be quite wealthy and he had studied for several years. However, he failed to get any honors due to his stupid talent and his parents died. No one cares about him.
From then on, he spent his days drinking, gambling or visiting brothels. All that was left of the property that his ancestors had worked hard to accumulate was this dilapidated thatched house.
"You surnamed Lu are looking for death, aren't you? Old Ghost Hong is also your name?!"
The dogleg next to the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
Old Ghost Hong, formerly known as Hong Gui, was just a local gangster who made his fortune through gambling. Now he runs several gambling houses and owns hundreds of acres of fertile land.
Only then did Lu Chen remember that the original owner lost money in gambling with Old Ghost Hong a few days ago and owed money, so he discussed with Old Ghost Hong using his daughter to pay off the debt.
"Mr. Hong, what are you going to do with my daughter?"
Seeing his daughter Lu Tiantian crying in despair, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel pity for the father-daughter bloodline engraved in his heart.
Lu Chen stood tightly in front of his wife and daughter, Jiang Yingyue hugged Tiantian tightly, and her tears couldn't stop rolling down.
"Lu Chen, in the few years I've been married to you, you haven't stopped for a day. You fool around outside every day. When the money runs out, you force me to go back to my parents' house to ask for money. You even beat my father so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month! It's good now. , you actually set your sights on Tiantian, are you worthy of being a father?"
Listening to Jiang Yingyue's accusation, Lu Chen lowered his head in shame. He wanted to wipe away the tears on Jiang Yingyue's face, but the latter backed away in horror, his face full of hatred.
Lu Chen was a little embarrassed and turned to look at Old Ghost Hong.
"My Erlang has been giving me dreams every night these days, saying that he is lonely and asking me to find a wife for him. I checked with Mr. Yin and Yang. Your daughter's horoscope matches my Erlang very well. If your daughter is matched with Ming, Marriage can bring prosperity to my Hong family and good fortune, and my second husband will be a worthy man."
Old Ghost Hong smiled slightly.
Lu Chen felt his scalp numb. Ancient times were so ignorant and backward!
Not to mention whether Mr. Hong planned to kill Tiantian and bury him with his son. Even if he didn't kill Tiantian, Lu Chen would never accept such a ridiculous and terrifying thing happening to his daughter!
"Mr. Hong, I'll pay back the money. I'll give you a penny!"
Lu Chen said hurriedly.
"Look at how skinny you are. You haven't eaten for several days, haven't you? With ten taels of silver, can you afford a penny now? Mr. Lu, your daughter is lucky to marry into my Hong family. Don't let this go. You ungrateful animal!"
Old Ghost Hong pushed Lu Chen away and looked at Tiantian with eyes full of salivation.
He walked towards Lu Tiantian, with a lewd smile on his face: "Little girl, do you want to be my daughter-in-law?"
"Don't touch my daughter!"
Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.
Jiang Yingyue is a weak woman. Seeing that her daughter is in danger, she doesn't care and kicks Old Ghost Hong in the stomach!
"Ouch!"
Old Ghost Hong immediately covered his stomach and howled.
Hong Laogui's men immediately cursed and surrounded Jiang Yingyue!
Jiang Yingyue's delicate and beautiful face was covered with tears, and her bright eyes were full of hatred at this moment!
At that moment, Lu Chen's nerves were tense, his whole brain was buzzing, and he was resisting. He was no match for these people, but he couldn't watch his daughter being used as a match for a ghost marriage!
"Jiang Yingyue, you are such a stinky bitch, are you tired of living? Even Mr. Hong dares to beat her!"
Lu Chensheng was afraid that his wife and daughter would be in danger, so he pushed Jiang Yingyue and Lu Tiantian out of the door, "You even dare to beat Mr. Hong. I think you are tired of living! Get out of here!"
"Lu Chen..."
Jiang Yingyue looked at Lu Chen with complete despair in her heart.
"Lu Chen, from now on, you and I are no longer husband and wife, and we will never have contact with each other until we die!"
Jiang Yingyue's tears couldn't stop rolling down.
She picked up Tiantian, spoke decisively, turned around and left!
By the time everyone reacted, Jiang Yingyue had already walked away with Lu Tiantian in her arms.
"Mr. Hong, that stinky bitch is so tired of living. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."
After sending his wife and daughter away, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and smiled at Old Ghost Hong.
"Nie Zhan, who the hell asked you to drive people away?"
Seeing that the daughter-in-law he had spotted ran away, Old Ghost Hong stamped his feet angrily: "In three days, it will be a good day for a joint burial, but we must not delay it! Lu Chen, you must hand over your daughter within three days, otherwise I will take action. If someone is arrested, you will also be buried with him!"
Old Ghost Hong glared at Lu Chen fiercely: "Did you hear that?"
"heard it…"
Lu Chen's heart trembled. When Old Ghost Hong left, he collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Ten taels of silver, that's what a farmer can earn by working hard and plowing the fields for several years. The original owner who suffered a thousand cuts is really not a human being!"
Lu Chen was thankful that he had driven away his wife and daughter first, but he was also worried about what to do in three days.
"Run away? No, you can't go anywhere without a road guide, let alone taking Yue'er and Tiantian with you, you can't run very far."
Lu Chen immediately thought of reporting to the official, but in his memory, Mr. Hong's family had a great business and he was brothers with the officials in the county. If he went to report to the official, he would probably be buried alive if Mr. Hong found out.
"First find a way to earn money and return it to Old Ghost Hong. Tiantian must not hand it over."
Looking at the bare-walled house, Lu Chen sighed, got up and walked towards the street.
His father was doing business in the city and had many friends. Lu Chen was ready to seek their help.
Lu Chen first walked into a prosperous inn. Unexpectedly, as soon as the shopkeeper saw Lu Chen, he picked up the coffee table and threw it over.
"You lied to me and said your daughter was seriously ill. Then you borrowed the money and used it to gamble. Why don't you have the honour? Get out!"
Lu Chen left in a hurry and went to the next shop.
"Uncle Wang..."
Seeing the shopkeeper standing at the counter, Lu Chen forced a smile and walked forward. The shopkeeper didn't chase him away, there was still a smile on his face: "Hey, Mr. Lu is here, but I won money, so I want to take the money." Pay me back?"
"Uncle Wang... I'm in trouble and need your help! Don't worry, my help will not be in vain..."
Lu Chen was going to use modern techniques to invent some objects for the shopkeeper, but before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "If you really want to help me, then find a higher mountain, shout three times that I am a beast, and then Jump down!"
Lu Chen left angrily.
I don’t blame these shopkeepers for hating the poor and loving the rich. It’s just that after the original owner lost all his family property, he relied on his father’s relationship with them and often borrowed money from them. It’s suffice to say that life was really difficult. The key is that when the original owner borrowed the money, he didn’t drink and visit brothels. It's gambling.
I went to several places, and the shopkeepers either poured a basin of water over me or asked their subordinates to convince me with reason (physics).
"Damn it, I might as well die!"
As soon as this idea came to his mind, Lu Chen thought that if he left, his wife and daughter would suffer.
Frustrated, when passing by a restaurant, Lu Chen walked in with his last hope.
"Wine is a good thing. It makes you intoxicated and makes you forget your worries. The wine passes before your eyes. It would be a sin not to drink it."
Lu Chen saw the fat face of Xu Youcai, the owner of the restaurant, was slightly red. He drank the wine in the bowl and said with a smile: "I'd like to toast all you gentlemen. Come on, let's do it!"
