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

As Lu Jianjun turned to walk home, Lu Yang quietly emerged from the shadows.

He walks without making a sound; this skill was taught to him by a thief in prison in his previous life.

The two turned into a dark corner, and Lu Yang suddenly quickened his pace, walked behind Lu Jianjun, and without hesitation raised his hand and tapped him on the neck.

Before Lu Jianjun could react, everything went black and he fainted.

Lu Yang rummaged through his pockets and quickly found more than four thousand yuan.

This old bastard not only got the stolen money back from Li Xiulian, but he even went to Li Xiulian's house.

After taking the money, Lu Yang hurriedly headed home under the cover of night.

When he got home, he found that Lu Xing was still awake, his eyes wide open like light bulbs.

"Big brother, where did you go?"

Lu Xing asked in a muffled voice, and then sighed.

Lu Yang slipped on his shoes, got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and calmly took out the four thousand yuan from his pocket.

Lu Xing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Where did this come from?"

He lowered his voice, afraid that others would hear him.

Lu Yang recounted the events, and Lu Xing's face immediately fell.

He couldn't help but sigh and stuffed the money into Lu Yang's hand: "Give it back to him, or he'll keep trying to take advantage of Yue'er!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Xingxing, do you know why some people in a group are always bullied, while others can become leaders, and still others that no one dares to mess with?"

Lu Xing turned to look at Lu Yang, his face full of confusion.

He grew up in this small county town, and at such a young age, no one taught him how to conduct himself in society.

Lu Yang knew very well that Lu Jianjun would not be poor two years later, as he would send a lot of money back every month.

However, Lu Yue was still sold to the Xu family, simply because Guan Xiuqin had taken a liking to a bracelet in a jewelry store in the county, and Lu Jianjun was only trying to please Guan Xiuqin.

He didn't care at all that his own daughter would suffer endless torment because of this bracelet and eventually commit suicide in despair.

Lu Yang took a deep breath and said, "People bully you not because they are poor or they need any resources, but simply because you are easy to bully and there are no consequences for bullying you."

"Consider this money as interest I got from Lu Jianjun on behalf of Yue'er. He's the one who disgusts us like this."

Lu Xing blinked, his mind a little blank. He had been learning moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education since elementary school, and had never thought about what Lu Yang was saying.

After a long pause, Lu Xing nodded blankly, "I understand, brother."

Lu Yang smiled and patted his head, saying, "You should be able to report ahead of time."

"If I take you to school, I'll be able to relax a lot. We'll go into town together tomorrow."

"If the Xu family and Lu Jianjun go to the school to force Lu Yue to marry, then they have lost their minds."

The next morning, the four of them went to the county early in the morning.

After the cold noodles were sold out, Lu Yang invited them to go shopping and buy things they would need for the start of the new semester.

When Lu Yang walked to the women's clothing store at the very end, he was immediately attracted by the red dress in the window.

He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he and Yao Lili were working in the county, Yao Lili had taken a fancy to a similar red dress.

He asked about the price of the red dress; it cost thirty-five yuan, equivalent to a month's salary for an average worker.

Yao Lili said nonchalantly that she was just looking at it and didn't really like the dress that much.

But even as she left the clothing store, her gaze never left the red dress.

Lu Yang immediately went into the store, negotiated the price with the shopkeeper for a while, and bought the red dress for thirty-four yuan.

The four of them went to the Lijiaren Clothing Store. Lu Yang picked out two sets of clothes for Lu Yue and his mother, and then bought two sets of clothes for Lu Xing at the men's clothing store next door.

They went to a stationery store and bought a lot of stationery before going to the No. 3 Middle School in the county to inquire about the registration time.

As it was getting dark, they ate at a state-run restaurant before heading home, and it was completely dark by the time they got there.

Lu Yang put down his things and said with a smile, "Let's take them to register together tomorrow."

"Mom, you and Yue'er will wear new clothes tomorrow."

Lu's mother looked up, her tone tinged with amusement: "Don't waste money, earning money is hard-earned!"

She kept smiling, and several crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She changed into her new clothes and touched the beige dress she was wearing, admiring it dearly.

"I've never worn such expensive clothes in my entire life."

The last time she wore new clothes was when she gave birth to Lu Yang; almost twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yue also changed into a new light yellow dress, looking quiet and cute, and was so happy that she didn't want to take it off.

"It's not expensive, I'm glad you like it." Lu Yang said with a smile, sitting to the side, besides, it was all Lu Jianjun and Grandma Lu's money that was spent.

Lu Yang picked up the red dress and quietly went out the door.

He walked to the vicinity of Yao Lili's house and, sure enough, saw her still washing clothes by the river.

Lu Yang handed her the red dress: "It's your birthday the day after tomorrow, this is a birthday present I bought for you in advance."

Yao Lili was somewhat surprised, took the bag and took out the red dress inside.

The moment she saw the red dress, her eyes lit up, and she felt a surge of emotion.

She had seen the dress before, but it cost more than half a month's salary, so she couldn't bear to buy it.

She gathered up the skirt and quickly said, "You should return it right away, it's too expensive!"

Yao Lili knew very well that Lu Yang was supporting a family of four on his own, and his younger siblings were about to start junior high school, so the burden was very heavy.

Lu Yang grabbed her hand and said, "If you accept this dress, it means you agree to be my girlfriend."

"If you don't accept it, then we're from the same hometown, and I won't bother you anymore unless it's absolutely necessary."

Yao Lili quickly took off her skirt, her face stiff, and said, "If you treat me badly in the future, I will never talk to you again."

Lu Yang suppressed a laugh and said, "I will never let you down. Just tell me what you want in the future, and I'll buy it for you."

Yao Lili rubbed her red ears and responded softly, her voice barely audible.

After dinner, the two strolled around the village and reluctantly parted ways late at night.

If they weren't living in the village, and Lu Yang was afraid that Lu Jianjun would have a fit of madness and break into Lao Yu's house in the middle of the night to bully Lu's mother and the others, he wouldn't want to go back at all.

He guessed correctly; Lu Jianjun was indeed acting strangely. He was smashing things around the house, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Old Mrs. Lu huddled in the corner, disheveled and filthy: "They've gone mad, they've all gone mad! My life savings! You said you didn't get it back, but you definitely will and won't give it back to me!"

Lu Jianjun smashed a porcelain flowerpot on the windowsill with a stick, turned around and said, word by word, "I've said it a hundred times, I've been robbed, all my money is gone!"

"If Lu Jianzhong hadn't found out, I would have been carried away by mosquitoes last night!"

Old Mrs. Lu was emaciated and hysterically cursed, "May she die a horrible death! May everyone who takes my money die a horrible death!"

After shouting, she suddenly froze, looked up at Lu Jianjun, and said, "Could it be those two bastards from the Tian family?!"

Lu Jianjun sat on the ground, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said, "It's most likely them. How would anyone else know that I went to Li Xiulian's house in the middle of the night? It's ridiculous that I actually believed they were really helping me!"

"I just want to kill them right now. If I get over four thousand yuan, they certainly won't be begging me to buy two thousand bags of fertilizer!"

Grandma Lu suddenly calmed down: "You can't go by yourself. Tian Guofu is ruthless, and Tian Guoqiang is vicious. You'll definitely suffer if you go."
