The government office oppression, parents seriously injured, business couldn't continue, Lin Baichao had no choice but to sell family property to treat his parents' illness.
The civil servant wanted to take advantage, forcing him to sell the shop to the civil servant at a low price.
After selling the shop, he still got very little money, not even enough to buy medicine for his parents, and so his parents passed away one after another, leaving only him and his sister.
Lin Baichao was already working very hard to support his sister, but the civil servant still wouldn't let them go, occasionally sending constables to create trouble.
Up to now, the siblings couldn't even get enough to eat.
With no other options, Lin Baichao could only search for food outside the city.
What the Government Official said was true, he was just a small beggar, and those rice bran were begged for.
