Aunt Yu choked up and said, "They just bully our Xiaoxue because she doesn't have any brothers. If I had a son, I would definitely have him beat them up."

Lu Yang warned, "Auntie, there's a crackdown going on right now. Hitting someone indiscriminately could get you shot. Don't be impulsive."

Lu Yang was silent for a moment and then said, "Auntie, he doesn't know how many photos you have. You should hand over some of them first, and after you successfully get a divorce, take the rest of the photos to his workplace to report him. If he doesn't let you have an easy time, you shouldn't let them have an easy time either."

Aunt Yu immediately perked up, pursed her lips, and exchanged a glance with Old Yu.

They hate Yu Guangxue's in-laws to the core, and they can't swallow this insult right now.

Mrs. Lu was startled and felt something was amiss. She reminded her, "Her husband's family is a prominent family in the county. You should think carefully about your escape route before you take action, otherwise you will definitely face retaliation later!"

Old Yu hesitated. They could choose not to come to the county, but Xiaoxue's daughter definitely needed to go to school.

They would come to the county whenever they went to school, and they could never get around Xiaoxue's in-laws.

Lu Yang said in a deep voice, "I've heard that Tang Jincheng has a sworn enemy who is competing with him for the position of logistics director. Tang Jincheng is very arrogant in the fertilizer plant and has offended a lot of people."

“As long as you use this as leverage, Tang Jincheng will be severely injured, if not killed, and he won’t have the energy to make things difficult for you.”

“If you’re all worried, you can go to another place to hide. As long as they can’t find you, you can come back after things have calmed down.”

Uncle Yu's eyes lit up, and he patted his pocket, saying, "Let's do it this way. Why should they be able to live a good life after ruining my daughter like this!"

Lu Yang calmly reminded him, "First, we need to get a divorce."

Aunt Yu nodded, her back instantly straightening: "I'll go tomorrow. I'll call the Tang family!"

After she finished speaking, she moved with the speed of the wind, and supported by this fierce energy, she seemed to be regaining her former spirit.

Lu Yang reminded him, "I'll deliver the photos. You two should leave as soon as you're divorced. Go buy your tickets now."

"Once you get there, call our village branch and tell them that my classmate's parent is looking for me so I know how to contact you. Once things have calmed down, I'll call you back."

Old Yu smiled and said, "Like a spy rendezvous, Yangzi, thank you, Uncle."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "We're still living in your house, so there's no need to thank me."

A little while later, Aunt Yu returned with her eyes shining brightly: "We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to complete the formalities."

Lu Yang said, "Give me half of that stuff, and I'll throw it out the day after tomorrow!"

Old Yu took out a brown paper envelope from his pocket, took out five photos from it, and handed them to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took the photo and left the hospital with his mother. After leaving the hospital, Lu's mother wiped away her tears and said, "Xiaoxue has suffered so much this time. She hasn't said a word since giving birth."

Lu Yang pushed the cart and said calmly, "She just has to figure this out herself."

Lu's mother shook her head disapprovingly: "That's true, but... these days, life is hard after a divorce."

“She’s not like me. All three of you are so grown up. It’s too difficult for a woman to raise a breastfeeding baby all by herself.”

Lu Yang straightened up and said wearily, "Times have changed. I've heard that working in a clothing store doesn't count as commission, and the monthly salary is sixty."

"Besides, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu can help her take care of the children, which is better than her staying in the Tang family."

Lu's mother glanced at Lu Yang silently, but did not refute him further.

"I recently saved up 4,640 yuan, which is enough to buy an ordinary house in the county, making it easier to set up a stall there."

It's inconvenient to always stay at other people's houses, especially now that the Yu family has gone through this ordeal.

Lu's mother nodded: "I never dreamed that we could earn so much money."

"It's up to you to decide. This money was originally earned by you."

The following morning, Lu Yang let his mother set up her stall while he went to look at houses in the ordinary residential area.

There are quite a few houses here, but not many are for sale, since each household has a large population and their own houses are not enough to accommodate everyone.

He inquired around but didn't find anything satisfactory.

Just as he was feeling down, an old woman with a thin mouth, who was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles, called out to him.

The old woman with the pursed lips smiled and said, "Young man, I know a house for sale. It faces south, is well-ventilated, and has a yard."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Is it too expensive?"

The old woman with the pursed lips laughed even louder: "His yard has half an acre of land, enough to build three more houses, so he charges a high price."

Lu Yang was immediately intrigued and quickly asked, "Where is that house? I want to go take a look."

……

This house is two streets away from the old lady's house; it's a street-facing house in a good location.

Cross this street and turn right. Walk two more streets and you'll reach the Third Middle School where Lu Xing and Lu Yue attend. Turn left and walk three streets and you'll reach the meat processing plant. Walk straight for four streets and you'll reach the Lijiaren Clothing Store.

Moreover, this whole area will be demolished in ten years. If you buy the yard now and build three houses in it, you will get at least five houses in ten years.

He knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man quickly came out of the house. He had a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Seven thousand five hundred, not a penny less!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh; he didn't even have enough money to buy half a set.

The middle-aged man clearly saw through his thoughts and waved his hand, saying, "Don't try to take advantage of me. Go out and ask around; a yard this big wouldn't sell for less than this price!"

Lu Yang was somewhat dejected. This feeling of knowing where the opportunity was but not being able to seize it was truly unpleasant.

He was somewhat downcast when he returned to his stall at the meat processing plant.

After asking the reason, Lu's mother sighed and said, "It's nothing, just keep saving, we'll eventually save enough money."

"We didn't have much money before, but we still managed to get by, didn't we?"

Lu Yang shook his head. He wanted to achieve great success, but he was stuck at the first step.

Just as she was feeling down, she suddenly heard someone call her name. She looked up and her eyes lit up.

Yao Lili was standing opposite him, wearing the red dress he had given her, with her long hair flowing like a waterfall. She was beautiful and refined, and passersby couldn't help but take a second look.

"You've come here for a stroll in the county?"

Lu Yang's pent-up frustration vanished instantly. He jogged over to her, grabbed her hand, and his heart pounded wildly.

Lu's mother urged, "Go take Lili for a walk. I can manage. Hurry up and win him over!"

Lu Yang smiled and pulled Yao Lili to leave. Yao Lili waved to Lu's mother before walking with Lu Yang toward the commercial street.

"Remember that shop I told you about? Let's go check it out, see if they're still hiring?"

The two walked quickly and soon arrived at the Lijiaren Clothing Store. After entering, they saw Chu Xiangyu sitting behind the cashier.

"Comrade, the person I'm talking about is her. Are you hiring now?"

Lu Yang asked politely.
