Du Dawei looked at the ferocious Lu Ye and had no doubt about what he had just said.

The Lu family has become so chaotic, it is impossible for Lu Ye to lie to him under such circumstances.

Du Dawei then turned his gaze to Hou Xiaoyun.

Sure enough, when Hou Xiaoyun faced Du Dawei's gaze, she was evasive and did not dare to look directly at Du Dawei.

"Where's Lu Tianci?"

Du Dawei spoke in a low voice, trying hard to control his anger.

Beware of everything, but it’s hard to guard against house thieves!

Du Dawei was careless for a moment and let Lu Tianci blatantly cheat him out of so much money, which made Du Dawei extremely angry.

"My dear relatives, the child is still young and naive. Don't be angry for now. I'll return the money to you and you can calm down. Don't worry, I will definitely educate Tianci well and he won't dare to do it again in the future."

As Hou Xiaoyun spoke, she quickly ran towards Lu Zhendong, snatched the thousand yuan from his hand, and hurriedly handed it to Du Dawei.

"The thousand yuan is here." Hou Xiaoyun carefully handed the money to Du Dawei.

When Wang Xiulan saw the money, she grabbed it immediately.

Then he started counting them one by one.

Du Yong and Du Meng's faces were filled with anger. They were tricked into cleaning toilets in a refrigerator factory, and they were still fuming about it.

Wang Xiulan counted the money twice, and after making sure the amount was correct, she carefully put the money away.

She shouted at Hou Xiaoyun, "Where's Lu Tianci? Get him out now! He actually lied to us and refused to give us an explanation. We're not done with him!"

Now everyone in the village knows that the son of the Du family has gone to work in a factory as big as a refrigerator factory.

It was a big boast, but now it turns out to be a scam.

Where can the Du family put their face?

"Mother-in-law, Tianci was just confused for a moment. Please don't take it to heart." Hou Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"How could someone so confused make up such a real lie? I think he planned it all out. Stop talking nonsense. Will Lu Tianci come out? If he doesn't come out, I'll call the joint defense team."

"Don't think that just because you return the money, the fact that he cheated us is over. Let me tell you, if we really call the police to arrest him, he'll be committing a crime and will be put under house arrest, you know!"

"Let him out quickly!"

Du Dawei was furious and wanted to deal with Lu Tianci immediately.

However, Lu Tianci had already escaped from the village at this moment. Even if Hou Xiaoyun wanted to find him, she didn't know where to look.

In the side room, Su Mengyao pulled down the curtains and packed up all the things she needed to take away.

The bedding was also bundled.

Lu Ye stood on the kang, took down the jar containing money hidden on the roof, and put it into the iron bucket.

Then he picked up an axe, went to the kitchen, and smashed everything that he could not take away.

There were so many clanging sounds that in the end not even a complete bowl was left.

Su Mengyao heard the noise in the kitchen, but didn't dare to persuade them. She just silently quickened the pace of packing up.

This was the first time she saw Lu Ye so angry.

Not long after, Lu Ye came into the room and asked, "Are you done cleaning up?"

Su Mengyao nodded: "Yes, it's all here."

Lu Ye took out a shoulder pole and put the things he needed to take away on his shoulders: "Let's go."

After leaving the side room, Lu Ye didn't even look at Lu Zhendong again.

Carrying the shoulder pole, he walked straight past the Du family and headed out of the yard.

Su Mengyao was holding a bundle and following Lu Ye closely.

At this time, many villagers had gathered around the old Lu family, and many of them were pointing and whispering.

The two of them walked out of the courtyard in full view of everyone.

"Brother Ye!"

A figure squeezed out from the crowd and shouted at Lu Ye who was about to leave.

It was none other than Chen Hao, who had a good relationship with Lu Ye.

"You go to our house first. I'll give the west room to you and sister-in-law, and I'll go to the east room to squeeze in with my parents. We have room to live here." Chen Hao quickly ran to Lu Ye and said softly.

Chen Hao also saw what happened in the old Lu family's yard just now. Lu Ye dug up the quilt in the house until it was smoking. They all saw and heard it.

Hearing these words, Lu Ye felt warm in his heart.

Lu Ye forced a smile and said to Chen Hao, "No need, I have a place to stay. I'm leaving first. I'll come back to have a drink with you when I have time."

"Brother Ye."

"Let's go back."

Lu Ye waved his hand, carrying his shoulder pole and continued walking towards the exit of the village.

Chen Hao wanted to follow, but after hesitating for a moment, he stopped, then turned around and ran quickly towards his home.

Chen Hao hurried home, jumped onto the kang, took out an iron biscuit box from the cupboard, and took out a stack of banknotes from it.

They were all small bills worth a few cents or one yuan, so thick that I didn't know how much money they were worth.

"What are you going to do with the money?"

Chen Hao's father was sitting on the kang, rubbing tobacco leaves. When he saw Chen Hao taking out the money, he hurriedly asked.

"Lu Ye has completely fallen out with his family and ran away with his wife. I'm going to give him some money." Chen Hao hurriedly grabbed the money in his hand, jumped off the kang and was about to run out.

"You're crazy, aren't you? That's the money you're going to use to marry your wife. If you lend it to him, how are you going to marry your wife?"

Old Man Chen became anxious upon hearing this and shouted at Chen Hao, who had already run out of the house, "Come back here! Stop showing off! Do you hear me?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. Lu Ye and I are buddies. He's in such a miserable state right now, how can I not help him? Don't worry about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao had already run away, and Old Man Chen couldn't catch up with him even if he wanted to.

She could only stamp her feet on the spot and mutter how she could have given birth to such a stupid son.

On the way out of the village.

Su Mengyao followed Lu Ye closely: "Where are we going now?"

"Go to the county and find a guesthouse to stay in first. Wait until you finish the exam."

The college entrance examination lasted three days, and Su Mengyao's examination venue was at No. 1 Middle School, not far from the county guesthouse.

After Chen Hao took the money, he chased all the way to the village entrance and finally caught up with Lu Ye and Su Mengyao.

"Brother Ye, where are you going?" Chen Hao ran panting.

"Go to the county."

"Take this."

Chen Hao grabbed Lu Ye's hand and stuffed all the money in his hand into Lu Ye's hand.

"You can't go out without money. I know your family situation. Don't be polite to me. Just take some money with you."

Lu Ye looked down at the banknotes in his hand and felt touched.

"This is the money you saved for your wedding. I can't take it. Take it back." Lu Ye grabbed Chen Hao's hand and wanted to return the money to Chen Hao.

Lu Ye knew about Chen Hao and Xiao Xing's affair. Under such circumstances, Chen Hao still gave him money. This friendship really touched Lu Ye.

"Why bother getting married? Xiao Xing's father is jealous of me now. He thinks our family is poor and wants to marry into the upper class of the Du family. I'm afraid my marriage is in jeopardy."

When talking about this matter, Chen Hao's face was also gloomy.

In the previous life, after the land reform, the Du family became the village tyrants. Not only did they occupy the collective means of production, but they also divided and occupied more collective land, becoming a cancer in the area.

The villagers were angry but dared not speak out.

In the 1980s, the country began to crack down, and the Du family was reported to the working group. After the facts were verified, they were eradicated and the whole family was imprisoned.

In his previous life, Lu Ye left early and didn't know much about many things in the village, nor did he know who Xiao Xing was finally entrusted to.

If she was really forced to marry Du Meng, she would be jumping into a fire pit.

"Don't be discouraged. As long as Xiao Xing is willing to follow you, there's still hope for this."

Chen Hao looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered to Lu Ye, "Xiao Xing and I have an agreement. If her father tries to stop us again, I'll take her and elope. Once the matter is settled, her father will have to agree even if he doesn't want to."

"I didn't realize you were so brave."
