America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

One of the newly built houses in a row next to Alexander Foreign Language University in the American Concession of Tianjin.

When Li Changsheng walked in, he finally saw the familiar figure from the original owner's memories.

He counted them one by one from left to right.

123456789, exactly nine people.

The two oldest people, the elderly gentleman and lady, are Li Changsheng's grandparents.

However, according to my memory, even though they have been grandparents for so many years, they are only 49 years old.

Next, the two people in their thirties are the original owner's parents, and the remaining five children are the original owner's younger siblings.

The oldest is 16 years old, and the youngest is only seven years old.

They went to Northeast China and traveled for so long, and it's lucky that they were all found.

The Li family was unlucky in their grandparents' generation; the couple only had one child, Li Changsheng's biological father, Li Duozi.

Grandpa originally named my father this way in the hope that he would have many sons.

Unexpectedly, after having a son, she never had any more children.

Only after learning that Li Duozi had given birth to three sons and two daughters did the old man remark with emotion.

This name wasn't chosen in vain.

He saw that all nine people had smiles on their faces.

This time, he transformed into a Chinese person who had returned from America.

She is also a teacher at the Alexandria Foreign Language School.

"You must be Mr. Li Changsheng's family?"

"Hello, my name is Li Guangxin. We're actually from the same clan."

"I suppose the court officials already told you this on your way back?"

"Your family member, Mr. Li Changsheng, couldn't come back from America, so he specifically asked us to help him find you."

"The house you are living in now belongs to you."

"In addition, there are two shops in front of this house, which also belong to your family."

"Don't worry, these were all purchased with Mr. Li Changsheng's royalties."

"The building at the end of this street is the Alexandria Foreign Language School, so this street will be very prosperous in the future. You will definitely make money if you open a shop here."

"Moreover, you can rest assured that no one will threaten your safety within this American concession."

"We've already spoken to the people at the consulate. If you need anything, just go to the consulate and find anyone there; they'll all help you."

"Of course, this is on the premise that you don't actively bully others."

"As for the children, you don't need to worry. Because of Alexander and the emergence of the Foreign Language Academy, the court has decided to establish a foreign language primary school and a foreign language secondary school in this area."

"It just can't be completed this year; we'll have to wait until next year."

"At that time, all your children can go to school for free."

"By the way, your personal belongings will be delivered to you shortly."

"Here is another one hundred taels of silver, for your expenses."

"Mr. Li Changsheng has already said that in order to avoid you being targeted by others and causing unnecessary danger, his royalties are all kept at the school."

"When you need to do business or have any problems that require money, come to the school to find me, or go to the consulate to find any consul."

Even on the way, court officials told them more than once that their son had made something of himself and that they were there to enjoy a life of luxury.

But they just couldn't believe it.

Now, they have their own house and shop, and their children will be able to go to school in the future. At this moment, they finally believe that it is all real.

The two elderly people dared not speak.

It was Li Duozi, the father, who finally mustered up the courage to accept the silver and speak.

"Thank you, sir."

"I don't know when my son will be able to come back."

The clone smiled and shook its head.

"We don't know."

"After all, our Great Qing Dynasty and the United States are separated by an endless ocean. Even the fastest ship takes more than a month to return, and the slowest takes two or three months."

"His books were not only published in our Qing Dynasty, but also in America and Europe, which is another continent."

"It's fair to say he's already a world-renowned figure, and he'll likely spend more time on writing and running his business."

"But don't worry, he will have a chance to come back in the future."

The Li family members didn't really understand what was going on.

All they know is that their grandsons, sons, and brothers have become successful.

His books were not only published in the Qing Dynasty, but also on other distant continents.

He has become a world-famous figure.

They restrained themselves and sent their clones away.

Then they politely asked the people who delivered the supplies to leave.

Finally, the family closed the door, looked at each other, and all of them smiled.

The old man, who had been called Old Man Li for more than ten years, finally stopped backing down and spoke up.

"My eldest grandson is indeed a literary genius descended to earth. My decision to sell everything I own to send him to a private school back then was definitely the right one."

"See? The reason our family is able to survive and enjoy this good life is all because of my eldest grandson."

"Let me tell you, don't embarrass my grandson. Although my grandson is famous in the Qing Dynasty and even in the world outside the Qing Dynasty, you can't go out and act arrogantly just because of that."

"If anyone in our family dares to embarrass my grandson, I will never let him get away with it."

The old lady patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'acting like a tyrant'? There's no one like that in our family."

"Didn't you hear what that sir said?"

"A new school will be built around here next year, and we'll send our second child and the others there to study."

"Although our eldest grandson can give us money, we can't rely on him for everything."

"Didn't our eldest grandson buy us two shops? Let's think about what to do with those shops. If they're capable, they should be able to support themselves."

This statement was approved by the whole family, and they began a lively discussion about what to do.

Once it was confirmed that the family was alright, Li Changsheng didn't bother them any further.

He was originally a time traveler and didn't have any deep feelings for this family.

However, since they are the original owner's family, they still need to provide the necessary care.

After resolving his family's issues, his main consciousness received a message from another clone. Upon confirming the message, his eyes lit up instantly.

Perhaps this is the real opportunity for me.

It provides opportunities to gain more power and wealth.
