Chapter 681: So melodramatic? [6th update]

The elderly man's neighbors immediately spoke up:

"Old Li is such a good person. When his family used to own land, he lived quite comfortably and always took care of anyone in trouble."

"Exactly, how could Old Man Li, being so kind, steal anything? His family was quite well-off before."

"Alas, it's a pity Old Man Li has no children, and his spouse passed away early. Now, crippled by the Wu family and with his land gone, he's fallen into such poverty and destitution!"

They spoke one after another, recounting the usual words and deeds of Old Man Li.

Clearly, he was a good-hearted person.

Unfortunately, disaster struck from out of the blue. The Wu family bullied him and seized his land, leading to his current dire poverty.

If it weren't for the sporadic support of his neighbors, he might very well have been dead by now.

Hearing so many people speaking well of Old Man Li and accusing the Wu family of wrongdoing, Wu Mengchong's face grew increasingly ugly.
