Lu Yang stood in front of the door, still listening to the man with glasses showing off.

"Mr. Lu, don't you just want to acknowledge this marriage? I'm telling you, forget it. Xiuyu is mine."

Lu Yang finally understood that this was a family that was trying to curry favor with the powerful. He had never wanted to marry into this family. He came to claim the property left by his father.

Why don’t you want your own things?

But I didn't expect it to be like this, I was chased away like a dog.

He was not angry, but looked at the guy in front of him with a smile.

"Just try marrying her. Even under the laws of the Republic of China, I'd still consider your family wealthy if I didn't confiscate your property. That's my future wife, and we have a marriage certificate. I'll see how stubborn you are. It's strong enough to be chopped off with a big knife."

This time the man with glasses was said to be a coward. In this chaotic era, people can kill people or confiscate property at will.

"Xiuyu just doesn't like you. He likes me. Besides, how are you going to support him? You're homeless now, so you came here first, planning to get some free food, drinks, and shelter, right?"

Lu Yang chuckled: "What does it have to do with you whether I get in or not? Now it's your turn as a clown to come out. Is there no one left in our family?"

"Don't be so presumptuous, young man. You're shouting like that at the door. Are you trying to bully me, Zhang family, or is there no one there?"

With a deep voice, Zhang Taiyue made a brilliant appearance.

Lu Yang saw that everyone in front of him moved away, and a middle-aged man walked out from the middle.

He has gray hair, a square face, and looks like a good person.

Since you don't recognize me as your son-in-law, there is no need for me to bow to you.

Lu Yang still stood there with his face raised, staring at the old man in front of him.

"Are you Lu Yang?"

Zhang Taiyue asked with a dignified look on his face.

At this time, several women came out from behind him, one of them was young and beautiful. Lu Yang guessed that this was Zhang Xiu Yu.

She was pretty, wearing a moon-colored cheongsam that went below her knees. She was a typical Jiangnan woman, fair and tender.

He took his heart back after just one glance. Now his heart is not on the woman.

He has to survive in this world, for the truth and for his ideals! That is his most difficult task!

"I'm Lu Yang, who are you?"

It was Zhang Xiuyu who came from behind and took over the conversation first with her sharp tongue.

"How dare you! You don't even show respect to your elders. This is my father, Zhang Taiyue from the Zhang Mansion."

Lu Yang ignored her and reached into his arms, took out his official household registration, which is equivalent to the current ID card, and showed it to them.

"My name is Lu Yang, and this is my official household registration."

After collecting the household registration, he put it away and looked at Zhang Taiyue and Zhang Xiuyu opposite him.

"When I knocked on the door just now, the man with glasses said that Mr. Zhang had gone out on business and was not at home.

So, who are you? How can you prove you are Zhang Taiyue? Show me your household registration."

"This?" They didn't expect Lu Yang to be so sharp-tongued. He would seize the opponent's loopholes and wouldn't give in.

"How dare you!" Zhang Taiyue was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Why would I need to show you my household registration in my own home? I'm telling you, you don't have to play tricks here.

Now that your parents are gone, the marriage certificate is naturally invalid. You can go back and have nothing to do with my family from now on."

"You say it doesn't count? This is the Republic of China, not the Qing Dynasty. I advise you not to test the law."

"You stinky scoundrel, don't you see what kind of person you are? You can hardly live on your own, and you still want to marry me?" Zhang Xiu Yu quickly supported his father.

When Zhang Taiyue saw that Lu Yang, who was studying abroad, was indeed well-educated, he knew that he was not someone who could be easily fooled.

So he changed the subject and said, "My dear nephew, you know that this is a new society now, and men and women are free to fall in love. Since my Yu'er doesn't like you, you won't be happy even if you marry her, right?"

At this time, more and more people were passing by, gathering in front of Zhang's house to watch the excitement, pointing and talking.

Lu Yang could only hear some discussions around him clearly.

"Hey, Lao Li, I just got here. What's going on?"

"The Zhang family is now very rich and powerful, and they no longer recognize the original marriage certificate. Now that the man has come looking for her, this family is in for a lot of fun."

"This young man is not only good-looking but also well-educated. How could the Zhang family not want him?"

"I heard that there are several young men in the county lining up."

"I think nowadays, rich people are the bosses. What marriage certificate? This guy will leave with his tail between his legs in a moment."

When Lu Yang saw that more and more people were around, he knew that this was the right time to fight back against them.

Since the other party's words had softened, Lu Yang also clasped his fists and said, "I am calling you Uncle Zhang because I am above your expectations. Although my parents are no longer around, I have studied abroad and seen the world. Xiuyu doesn't love me now, but that doesn't mean she won't love me in the future.

We can get married first and then try to get along."

Zhang Xiuyu was now anxious and immediately stood up and said, "I would never fall in love with you even if I died. Go and dream on about your Qingqiu. Don't you see what you are like now? You have nothing and you still want to get married? You should eat well and keep yourself warm first."

Zhang Xiuyu is sharp-tongued, and she and Zhang Taiyue play the villain and the good guy respectively.

Lu Yang withdrew his smile, raised his hand and shouted, "Fellow villagers, please bear witness. The Zhang family is now refusing to recognize the original marriage certificate. They are treacherous and ungrateful."

Zhang Taiyue hurried forward to interrupt him.

"Don't believe his nonsense, he's just trying to blackmail us. There's no such thing as a marriage certificate."

Lu Yang laughed heartily. "Okay, since we're talking about blackmail, let's put this matter aside for now. I want to ask you, the money that my Sixth Uncle Zhu left at your house was what my father left for me. You can at least give it to me, right?"

Zhang Taiyue was too embarrassed to deny it in front of so many people.

"This is for you, but you must cancel your engagement with our youngest daughter first, and then I'll give you the money."

Now everyone watching nearby understood.

"Who are these Zhangs? The marriage certificate thing is real, but they're using people's money to blackmail them and make them break their engagement. How fucking immoral!"

"Oh... stop talking. These days, rich people can just take over other people's land and property. There are too many such cases."

"Come on, make way, get out of the way!"

After a few shouts, everyone familiar with the area knew that the patrol officers from the police station had arrived.

At this time, two patrolling policemen with white bandages on their legs and holding whistles separated the crowd.

"What are you doing? In broad daylight."

When he saw Zhang Taiyue, he nodded and said, "Master Zhang, what's wrong with you? Do you need help?"

Zhang Taiyue felt like he had found a savior, as he usually fed these people from the police station.

It comes in handy right now.

He quickly asked for help: "This kid is making trouble in front of our house, please help me drive him away."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
