Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Yang asked in confusion, "Who told you that?"

Lu Xing said mysteriously, "Lin Hongshu, we're classmates. I went out for a walk this morning when you were making liangpi (cold skin noodles), and I overheard a bit of it."

Lu Yang pursed his lips and said, "When we get back to the village, don't mention that we're rich."

Lu Xing nodded hastily: "Of course, why should Lu Yaohua have the money we earn!"

"Hongshu also said that Cheng Yaozu was beaten silly and Lu Yao's leg was broken in three places, so he will definitely be lame for the rest of his life."

"They were so ruthless. Although they didn't die, they're all crippled."

Lu Yang scoffed, "When two vicious and treacherous people clash, it's bound to end badly. It's a pity that neither of them died."

Lu Xing blinked, feeling that his brother was different from before.

Before leaving the village, Lu Yang met with Yao Liuliu and briefly explained what had happened.

“Cheng Yaozu tends to go crazy when he’s drunk. He’s injured several people a few times when he was drunk. If it weren’t for Li Xiulian’s fierce temper, someone would have dealt with him long ago.”

Yao Lili looked disgusted and said disdainfully.

Lu Yang said warily, "You don't need to worry. Since he's gone mad, no one will care even if he mentions the letter."

Yao Lili laughed heartily: "You really don't understand Li Xiulian. She doesn't have time to pay attention to me."

"She'll definitely keep harping on the Lu family now, first throwing a tantrum and then extorting money. She won't believe that her son started it."

Lu Yang shook his head cautiously: "In short, relax. Just stay away from the Lu family and Li Xiulian for now."

Yao Lili nodded earnestly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

After talking for a while, Lu Yang and Lu Xing went to the entrance of the county's meat processing plant to continue setting up their stall.

They brought a lot of cold noodles this time, and it wasn't until after 3 p.m. that they finally sold them all.

Lu Yang bought a bag of soybeans on the way and carried it back quickly.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I could hear a string of curses from afar, the hoarse voice echoing throughout the entire village.

As they approached, they saw Li Xiulian cursing incessantly through the tightly closed door of the Lu family's house, her spittle almost spraying onto the door.

After cursing a few times, she jumped up, turned around, patted her butt, and kept cursing with vulgar language.

"Luckily we moved out."

Lu Xing suppressed a laugh and said with relief.

Lu Yang cautioned, "Take a detour if you see members of the Lu family lately, and be careful not to get into any conflicts."

"I know they must be furious."

As Lu Xing said this, his eyes were full of smiles. They had made a net profit of fourteen yuan today, enough not only to afford meat but also to buy candy.

Thinking of this, he secretly took another piece of milk candy and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes squinting from the sweetness.

When the two returned to Lao Yu's house, the aroma of food was already wafting through the courtyard.

Old Yu and his wife sat in the courtyard with the four of them, eating and chatting in a lively atmosphere.

The Lu family, however, was shrouded in gloom. Lu Jianjun and his mother sat on either side of the table, their faces filled with anger.

Li Xiulian's cursing voice clearly came through the crack in the door, but the two of them didn't care anymore.

"Mom, hurry up and give me the money! This is about Lu Yao's future!"

Lu Jianjun knew that his mother had a sum of money saved up, and in order to send Lu Yao to a major hospital in the provincial capital to have his leg treated, he begged his mother to take out the money.

Old Mrs. Lu said with a cold face, "Don't think I don't know that after Jianmin died, the brick kiln lost a lot of money, plus you've made a lot of money over the years."

"You can't possibly not even afford a thousand or eight hundred yuan, yet you insist on forcing me to hand over my savings for my funeral. You want to kill me!"

Lu Jianjun avoided eye contact, and his tone became more forceful: "Lu Yao is your own grandson, are you really going to just watch him become a cripple?"

Grandma Lu sneered, "Lu Yao is your own son, are you really going to just watch him become a cripple?"

"Your father doesn't want to pay, but you want someone else to pay!"

Lu Jianjun jumped up, his face contorted with anger, but he still had to hold back and said, "Wasn't I threatened by Tian Guoqiang to buy two thousand bags of fertilizer for him?"

The sarcasm in Old Mrs. Lu's eyes deepened; she had begun to regret how badly she had treated Lu Yang in the past.

Lu Yao was never as sensible or diligent as Lu Yang; in fact, it was Lu Yang who got into university.

So she became even more defiant: "If you don't have money, earn it yourself. If you want to touch my savings for my funeral, wait until I'm dead!"

Lu Jianjun gritted his teeth and roared, "You really don't even care about your own grandson?"

Grandma Lu sneered: "I have more than one grandson?"

Lu Jianjun was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of anger rush to his head. He kicked over the thermos and rushed out of the yard.

Li Xiulian's voice was hoarse from cursing. Just as she was about to go to the door to listen to what was going on, the door suddenly opened and hit her in the nose.

Lu Jianjun rushed out and hurriedly left on his bicycle.

Li Xiulian wiped the blood from her nose and mumbled curses at Lu Jianjun, but Lu Jianjun had already walked away and ignored her completely.

Li Xiulian was in so much pain that she felt dizzy. She covered her nose and ran to the village chief Lu Jianzhong's house.

Her son, Cheng Yaozu, suffered brain damage from an accident and is destined to be mentally challenged for the rest of his life.

She has to extort money from the Lu family, otherwise what will happen to her son in the future?

Lu Xing hid behind a tree and watched Li Xiulian run towards Lu Jianzhong's house while covering her nose. He immediately turned around and went home.

Lu Yang had just finished washing the soybeans and was about to sprout them when Lu Xing ran in.

"Brother, the village chief called the police. The police said to settle it privately. They were all seriously injured. Cheng Yaozu is mentally impaired, and Lu Yao is crippled."

Lu Xing put his hands on his hips and said excitedly.

Lu Yang said calmly, "You throw away the new bowls and chopsticks you bought. Tomorrow we'll go to the secondhand market to buy some tables and chairs to use for our stall."

Lu Xing nodded and ran off in a flash.

Lu Yang soaked the soybeans in warm water, placed them in a corner where they wouldn't get in the way, and went back to his room to rest.

At this moment, Guan Xiuqin was sitting by Lu Yao's bedside, looking haggard.

Guan Xiuqin asked, sobbing, "Xiao Yao, how are you feeling?"

Lu Yao laboriously turned his head to look at Guan Xiuqin. His leg was the most seriously injured, and he was also injured in other places. Even the slightest movement made his whole body ache.

"I feel uncomfortable everywhere," Lu Yao asked weakly. "How's my leg?"

Guan Xiuqin, fighting back tears, said, "It's all fixed now, don't worry, it'll be alright."

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes wearily.

Guan Xiuqin couldn't help but ask, "Why did you two start fighting?"

"Cheng Yaozu scolded me for fighting with him over Yao Lili, but how could I possibly like that kind of country girl?"

Lu Yao's eyes were filled with resentment. With a little effort, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and couldn't help but gasp.

Guan Xiuqin said with heartache, "Don't get agitated, Mom won't ask anymore."

She already felt that Cheng Yaozu was acting drunk, so she resented him even more.

That damned scoundrel ruined her son, and now he's become an idiot.

Even if she pointed her finger at him and cursed him now, he wouldn't understand what she meant. Guan Xiuqin was furious but helpless.

When Lu Jianjun arrived, Guan Xiuqin quickly pushed him into the corridor, closed the door, and whispered, "How is it?"
