Lu Yang poured himself a glass of water and said, "I have a classmate from that village in high school. Xu Jingtian's second son was born with polio and can't walk. He's 24 years old, has a bad temper, and often hits people with a stick."

“His younger sister was a little slow in pouring him water, and he flew into a rage and broke two of her ribs with a stick.”

Lu Xing waved his hand: "Absolutely not, Lu Jianjun is trying to push Yue'er into a fire pit."

Tears welled up in Lu's mother's eyes immediately: "Yue'er is his only daughter, how could he be so heartless?"

Lu Yang felt a chill in his heart. In his previous life, less than two years after he and Yao Lili went out to work, Lu Jianjun forced Lu Yue to marry into the Xu family.

Xu Lao Er was born with a disability and had a twisted mind. Within two years, Lu Yue was beaten so badly that she miscarried twice and was unable to have children afterward.

Knowing that Lu Yue could no longer have children, the Xu family bullied her even more. When Lu Yue ran back for help, she was severely beaten by Lu Jianjun.

Lu's mother and Lu Xing tried to stop them, but they were beaten by Lu Jianjun and Lu Yao.

When he returned, Lu Yue had already drowned herself in the river.

Lu Xing met with him once, then left for another place and never returned.

He had a big fight with Lu Jianjun, and Lu Jianjun showed no remorse whatsoever. Even now, thinking about it still disgusts him.

Unexpectedly, two years after their last marriage, Lu Jianjun is now forcing Lu Yue to marry into the Xu family again.

Lu Yang took a deep breath, turned to look at his mother, and told her about Yu Guangxue's matter.

Lu Xing added fuel to the fire: "Guangxue's blood flowed from the Tang family all the way to the county hospital, and the nurses gave her two bags of blood to replenish it."

Mother Lu was terrified. She hugged Lu Yue tightly and said with red eyes, "Yangzi, let's run away. We can't let Yue'er marry into that awful family."

Lu Yang was quite puzzled: "Lu Jianjun has made at least a thousand yuan selling salt during this period, so why would he have designs on Yue'er?"

"You don't know yet, Dad called the police and said your family's money was stolen."

At this moment, Yao Lili walked in and said with a smile.

Lu Yang was taken aback and turned to look at Lu Yue, as he really didn't know about this.

Lu Yue said gloatingly, "Our grandma sat at the door and wailed all morning, saying that her savings for her funeral had been stolen."

“My dad also said that the money he had saved was stolen, and a thief broke into the house last night.”

Lu Yang said speechlessly, "Why didn't you guys mention this earlier?"

Lu Yue curled her lip and said, "Who knows if it's true or not? They always used to complain about being poor."

Lu Yang pushed the cart for a while and said, "This time it should be for real. No wonder they were in such a hurry to sell you."

Yao Lili asked blankly, "Who did you sell?"

Lu Yang briefly explained that Lu Jianjun was going to sell Lu Yue to the Xu family in Dafeng Village.

Yao Lili's face turned red with anger: "Lu Jianjun is just like my dad, and he's even a Party member. Yue'er is so young, he's worse than an animal."

"What are you planning to do? I've been watching closely these past few days, and Lu Jianjun is almost going crazy trying to raise money for Lu Yao's surgery. He definitely won't let Lu Yue off easily."

Lu Yang gave a sinister sneer: "Who do you think stole this money?"

Yao Lili shook her head: "Our village is relatively safe. We don't lock our doors at night and nothing gets stolen. I just don't understand."

Lu Xing thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Li Xiulian?"

Lu Yue immediately sat up straight, her face showing disbelief.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "He also thinks it's Liu Xiulian. That old lady used to chase after Yao Lili and curse her a lot in her past life."

"They used really foul language, some of the swear words were unimaginable."

Mrs. Lu said incredulously, "She climbed over the wall into the Lu family's house in the middle of the night to steal things?"

Lu Yang said calmly, "What's impossible? It's highly possible."

“What we can think of, Lu Jianjun can also think of.”

……

Since the family split up, Old Mrs. Lu has not had a single peaceful meal, and today she has not eaten or drunk anything all day.

She huddled in a corner of the main room, her mind buzzing, as if all her energy had been drained away.

Ever since she lost her savings for her funeral, she felt like she couldn't go on living.

Lu Jianjun's mental state wasn't any better than hers, especially now that he also had to deal with the Tian brothers.

The two brothers slaughtered his old hen and stewed it, then stole the wine he only dared to drink during the New Year, and feasted and drank in front of him.

Tian Guofu hiccuped and said, "Lu Jianjun, you just don't want to buy fertilizer for us, so you're putting on a show of feigning injury!"

Tian Guoqiang remained silent, observing Lu Jianjun's reaction.

He was a little surprised when he first saw Lu Jianjun. In just a few days, Lu Jianjun looked ten years older and was not as energetic as before.

Lu Jianjun said coldly, "Will you report me to the police if you stage a self-inflicted injury?"

Tian Guoqiang had a bad feeling: "Your family's money is really gone?"

"My money, my funeral savings, my funeral savings! Which heartless bastard stole my funeral savings! Waaaaah..."

Grandma Lu was greatly shocked and broke down, slapping her thigh and repeatedly muttering about her savings for her funeral.

Tian Guoqiang's heart skipped a beat; it seemed to be true.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Who has your family recently made a grudge against?"

Lu Jianjun wiped his face and said, "Li Xiulian, her son Cheng Yaozu got into a fight with Lu Yao and was accidentally beaten into a fool by Lu Yao."

"She made a scene for a while, but didn't gain anything. She's really capable of doing something like that."

Tian Guoqiang tapped the table, thought for a moment, and said, "How stupid is that idiot? Doesn't he understand human resources?"

Lu Jianjun scoffed, "You don't know anything, all you do is drool."

Tian Guoqiang smiled and said, "That's easy. We'll lure Li Xiulian away, and you can search her house. That idiot can't do anything to you."

"But if you get your money back, you'll have to provide us with two thousand bags of fertilizer this year!"

Lu Jianjun slammed his fist on the table and said, "Let's leave now!"

Under the cover of night, the three went out and arrived at the back wall of Li Xiulian's house. Tian Guoqiang nimbly climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard.

He crept into the main room and saw Li Xiulian with her back to the door, rummaging through the things in the cabinet.

He raised his hand and struck Li Xiulian on the neck. Li Xiulian didn't even see who did it before she fainted.

After confirming that Li Xiulian was unconscious, Tian Guofu went into the yard and imitated the call of a cuckoo.

Tian Guoqiang responded quickly, and Tian Guofu immediately climbed over the wall and left the yard.

"She's fainted, hurry up."

Tian Guofu reminded Lu Jianjun.

Lu Jianjun was very nervous, but when he thought of Li Xiulian stealing their money, he immediately mustered up his courage, climbed over the wall, and jumped into the yard.

He rushed into the house and searched quickly, but couldn't find a single penny. It was impossible for Li Xiulian to be penniless.

Lu Jianjun was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Li Xiulian and braced himself to search her body.

He soon discovered a sewn-on pocket in Li Xiulian's pants. He cut the pocket open with scissors and found a wad of money inside.

This was more money than he and his mother had lost together. He divided the money into three portions, put them into three pockets, and hurriedly left.

After climbing over the wall, he discovered that the Tian brothers had already left.

Although he got the money back, he felt empty inside and couldn't feel happy at all; he just felt pathetic.

He hurried home, and when he passed by Lao Yu's house, the lights were still on. He stared intently at the warm light and clenched his fists.
