Lu's mother instinctively covered Lu Yang's mouth, glanced around in a panic, and only hit him after confirming that no one was around.

"Don't call your father by his name again, it's really embarrassing if someone hears it!"

After speaking, she lowered her head and fell silent.

"Eldest daughter, what are you doing? Hurry up and feed the pig! The dishes haven't been washed yet, the whole family is waiting for dinner!"

"You can't even do this little bit of work properly all day long! Are you dead? I called you and you didn't even answer!"

Just then, Old Mrs. Lu's voice came from the front yard. She was full of energy, but she didn't lift a finger to do any housework, leaving it all to her mother, and she would still boss her around.

Just as Lu's mother was about to respond, Lu Yang stopped her.

"Mom, to tell you the truth, I was admitted to Haishi University, but Lu Jianjun made Lu Yao take my place."

Lu Yang decided to add fuel to the fire, making sure his mother knew that staying in the Lu family would lead to her being exploited and suffering a terrible end.

Lu's mother's eyes widened immediately: "What? How could he do this? You're his son!"

Her voice was trembling with sobs, and her shoulders were shaking with anger.

Lu Yang said coldly, "He has never treated the three of us siblings as his children. You have seen how he treated Lu Yao and Lu Qing, and how he treated the three of us siblings. He has never treated us as human beings."

"It's bad enough that Lu Yao replaced me, but now you're forcing me to work at the brick factory to support Lu Yao!"

Lu's mother cried even harder. She was just a coward, not stupid. She could tolerate everything else, but when it came to her children, Lu Jianjun had crossed her bottom line.

She wiped away her tears, made up her mind, and said, "I'll go call your younger brother and sister, and we'll move out."

Without a moment's delay, she quickly walked towards the small main room next door.

"Lu Yang, I absolutely refuse to agree to split the family business!"

Lu Jianjun rushed out of the house, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said with a mocking expression, "Between Lu Yao's studies and us, you can choose one."

He had already served his entire prison sentence when he found out that his education had been stolen.

Lu Yao had a powerful father-in-law, but he had no way to seek help, and all his hard work of studying for more than ten years was in vain.

But this time, he can use this degree to help himself, his mother, his brother, and his sister escape their suffering.

Lu Jianjun's face contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth and said, "You dare threaten me!"

Lu Yang sneered and said, "I'm reminding you, I can't swallow this!"

Lu Jianjun clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and he was trembling with anger.

"Yangzi, have you seen your mother? She's disappeared somewhere this early in the morning!"

As the two were locked in a stalemate, Old Mrs. Lu walked over and questioned them angrily.

Lu Yang didn't bother with his grandmother. She always listened to Lu Jianjun and helped him suppress the four of them.

Lu Jianjun's veins twitched as he said, "If Xiao Yao hadn't been sick during the college entrance exam, he definitely would have done better than you. Do you think we care about using your spot?"

"Xiao Yao is better at studying than you, and he's more polite and well-mannered. If he goes to school, he'll definitely be better off than you!"

"You get your ass over here and go work at the brick factory. If you dare tell anyone about this, I'll beat you to death!"

As he spoke, Lu Yang, his face cold, rushed to the front door, opened it, and shouted, "I got into Shanghai University, but my dad's determined to..."

"Shut the hell up!"

Lu Jianjun's forehead veins were throbbing, and his voice was trembling; he was very guilty.

"You can forget about controlling my life. Choose one of two options. If you don't agree, I'll go to the county and report you and Lu Yao."

Lu Yang's attitude was firm. In fact, Lu Yao hadn't gone to school yet, so even if he was punished, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Especially when it involves families, the police will try to smooth things over.

But Lu Jianjun was too concerned to think straight. He was determined to send Lu Yao to university to bring honor to the family, so he couldn't tolerate anyone interfering.

Enraged, Lu Jianjun raised his hand to strike Lu Yang, but Lu Yang grabbed his wrist and yanked him away.

Lu Jianjun nearly lost his balance and fell headfirst.

He suddenly realized that his son, whom he used to barely glance at, was now a head taller than him.

However, Lu Yang was stubborn. In the past, when he hit Lu Yang, Lu Yang never ran away or fought back.

Lu Yang said coldly, "I advise you to make a move. Even if you and that white-skinned chicken Lu Yao were together, you wouldn't be a match for me!"

Lu Jianjun was so angry that his chest ached: "You little beast, if you want to get out, then get out now, but you can't take anything with you!"

"You can leave on your own, but Tian Zhaodi, Lu Xing, and Lu Yue must stay!"

Lu Yang curled the corners of his lips. Sure enough, in Lu Jianjun's heart, Lu Yao's future was more important than anything else.

"Go? Where to go?"

Grandma Lu was a little confused and asked in confusion.

Lu Yang said coldly, "That won't do. I'm taking my mother, my younger brother and sister with me, and all our belongings too. I'm taking half of the rice, flour, oil, and salt!"

"Don't say no, if you can't, let's go to the police station right now!"

Lu Jianjun's eyes turned red with anger, and he said viciously, "Kid, with your cowardly appearance, you'll starve to death if you go out!"

Lu Yang didn't say a word, turned around and went into the house, quickly packing his things and books.

When he came out again, Old Mrs. Lu already knew from Lu Jianjun that Lu Yang wanted to divide the family property.

She immediately stopped Lu Yang, her face contorted with rage, and said, "I don't agree to splitting the family! If anyone mentions splitting the family again, I'll kill myself!"

Lu Yang stared intently at her and asked, "Grandma, are you willing to die?"

As he spoke, he picked up the sickle next to him and shoved it into the old lady's hand: "It's just like killing a chicken. Just slit it across the neck, and you'll be dead in seven seconds at most. There's no pain. Why don't you try it?"

"You..." Old Mrs. Lu stared at Lu Yang, so angry that tears were about to flow, and her hand holding the kitchen knife was trembling.

"You little beast, you little beast, you wicked little beast! I am your own grandmother, and you actually want to force me to my death!"

Grandma Lu threw the kitchen knife on the ground and burst into tears.

"What's wrong, Sister-in-law Lu?" A passerby stopped at the door and peered into the yard to ask Old Mrs. Lu.

Lu Yang ignored them, walked past her into the kitchen, and poured out half of the rice, flour, oil, and salt.

When he came out carrying large and small bags, Grandma Lu's face was twitching with heartache. She pounded her cane on the ground, and her eyes looked at Lu Yang as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite off a piece of his flesh.

The onlookers shook their heads in disapproval, and one of the older men, a man in his fifties, said coldly, "Young man Lu, even when your parents are alive, you shouldn't separate from your family. Why are you acting like this?"

"Quickly apologize to your grandma and dad. You're such a big boy, and you don't know any better!"

Aunt Yu, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "That's right. He didn't get into university, yet he blames others for not supporting him properly. Isn't that just raising a wolf for nothing?"

"If you had any conscience at all, you should be filial to your father and grandmother. Why would you want to move out and live separately? What can you do if you move out?"

Lu Yang stared intently at Aunt Yu and said coldly, "Others may not know, but don't you know how we manage to make a living?"

“My mother and my two siblings and I do all the work in the fields and at home. My father is busy with village affairs all year round. He is very busy, but I have never seen him bring back a few cents. My grandmother does nothing and is always cursing and swearing.”

“Lu Yao, Lu Qing, and Guan Xiuqin are like they’re dead. They don’t even know to pick up a fallen oil bottle. In this family, it’s as if my mother and my two siblings are just servants, and the four of them are the masters.”

"They want to be their masters, don't they? We can start our own businesses and make a living without having to support those four!"
