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

After Lu Yang finished setting up his stall, he went to help Yao Lili move the goods, as was his custom.

During this period, he frequently visited Lijiaren, so he became quite familiar with Chu Xiangyu.

After unloading the goods, Chu Xiangyu poured them water and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Comrade Lu."

"It's nothing. If there's anything else to do, I'll do it for you so that Lili won't have to do it later."

Lu Yang nonchalantly took the water and drank a big gulp.

Yao Lili smiled with her lips pursed, her heart and eyes filled with Lu Yang.

Chu Xiangyu waved her hand and said, "You two should leave. You're so sickeningly sweet."

Yao Lili immediately pulled Lu Yang up and walked out. Lu Yang suddenly thought of the Xu family and went to Chen's Restaurant to inquire about the Xu family in Dafeng Village.

The young waiter went into the inner room for ten minutes and came out with several pieces of paper, handing them to Lu Yang: "They're all here."

Lu Yang glanced at it briefly, paid the money, and left with Yao Lili.

Looking at the documents, Yao Lili said, "This family is really not good."

"Even if Xu Lao Er were a healthy person, he wouldn't be a good match."

As the two were talking, they saw Xu's mother and her entourage blocking the entrance of No. 3 Middle School, where they were in a standoff with the school's security guard. Xu's mother insisted on seeing Lu Yue, but the security guard insisted on driving them away.

Lu Yang walked to a nearby phone booth and called the police directly.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived.

The two gatekeepers, both in their fifties, angrily pointed at Xu's mother when they saw the police and said, "This person insists on seeing a female student who has nothing to do with her."

“We refused to let her see them, so she wouldn’t leave and insisted on going into the school to find them herself. They’re not school staff, so of course we couldn’t let them in. They’re disturbing public order, so we arrested them.”

Xu's mother was surprised to see the police and said in a panic, "Lu Yue is my daughter-in-law. What's wrong with me seeing my daughter-in-law?"

The police officer asked sternly, "How old is this student named Lu Yue?"

"Fifteen, a minor."

Lu Yang and Yao Lili walked over from a distance, and Lu Yang said coldly.

Xu's mother suddenly realized: "You called the police!"

Lu Yang turned to look at her: "Of course, you brought such a large group of people to harass my sister, so of course I called the police."

Madam Xu's chest heaved with anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "You've already accepted all our betrothal gifts!"

"She must marry my son, and we agree to the marriage!"

Yao Lili scoffed, "What's the use of your agreement? Xiali's tires are being forced onto Mercedes's. Xiali is willing, of course, but Mercedes can't use them. Shameless!"

Even the gatekeepers nearby couldn't help but laugh. Xu's mother's eyes turned red, and she pointed at Yao Lili, cursing, "You little slut, you're obviously from a brothel! I'll tear your mouth off!"

As she spoke, she lunged at Yao Lili, but Yao Lili didn't move, and watched as Xu's mother was dragged aside by the police.

The Xu family's sons all stared at Lu Yang and Yao Lili with unfriendly expressions, while Lu Yang also glanced at them with a cold look.

"If you know what's good for you, get lost. Don't force me to be rude to you."

Lu Yang looked at them expressionlessly. If these people continued to pester him, he would definitely make them regret it.

Xu's mother shook off the policeman and said in a shrill voice, "You poor people are so lucky to be able to marry into our Xu family. You dare to look down on my son!"

"Pah! You just wait!"

With that, she stormed off with her men. Several police officers looked at Lu Yang with suspicion and asked, "Is there something wrong with her son?"

“He was born with polio and is already 24 years old, nine years older than my sister. He is also very emotionally unstable. He even broke his own sister’s bones.”

Lu Yang said with disgust.

The gatekeeper exclaimed, "Your father is pushing his daughter into a fire pit!"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Thank you for your help, gentlemen. Please take this cigarette as a token of your appreciation."

As he spoke, he handed over two boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes, and the two guards' eyes lit up immediately.

After accepting the cigarette, the tall security guard said in a light tone, "Don't worry, we're here every day, we definitely won't let them in!"

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. After the police left, he took Yao Lili straight to the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

He anonymously reported the Xu family's chicken farm, alleging that the farm was in arrears with wages and had lied about the number of chickens to fraudulently obtain local subsidies.

The reason the Xu family is so arrogant is that they made money from this chicken farm and can be considered a moderately wealthy family.

After sending Yao Lili back to the warehouse, Lu Yang went home, where his mother was already there.

Lu Yang recounted the Xu family's situation. Lu's mother sighed, wiped her hands, and said, "Your sister can't stay at school forever."

"Would it be effective to report the Xu family?"

At this moment, Old Yu said, "I have an old comrade-in-arms who works at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. I'll go to the county tomorrow to invite him to dinner."

"The fact that his family can run such a large chicken farm and act so arrogantly suggests they likely have powerful backers. A single whistleblower letter might not be enough to bring them down."

Lu Yang asked worriedly, "Won't this affect you?"

Old Yu chuckled: "It's alright, who would publicize something like this everywhere?"

Three days later, not only was the Xu family's chicken farm shut down, but the Industry and Commerce Bureau also ordered them to compensate for the subsidies they had fraudulently obtained from the government, totaling more than 50,000 yuan.

The Xu family tried everything to pull strings, but they couldn't change the outcome. Their chicken farm even became a prime example of speculation and profiteering.

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Uncle Yu, I didn't expect you to have such strong connections."

Old Yu waved his hand and said, "I only found out he had retired due to illness when I went to see him. Fortunately, he still had some connections in the Industry and Commerce Bureau, so he got things done."

Lu Yang couldn't help but admire him secretly. Just as he was saying this, Lu Xing ran in from outside, panting, and said, "The Xu family and Lu Jianjun are arguing."

"They're definitely here to ask for betrothal gifts. I wonder how much money Lu Jianjun received from them."

"Let's call Mom and go to the county. We can't let Lu Jianjun cling to us."

Lu Yang quickly got up, packed his things, and immediately took his mother and Lu Xing to the county.

They had barely left the village when Grandma Lu came running up barefoot.

Old Yu was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and didn't even lift his eyelids when she came in.

"Old Yu, where's Lu Yang?"

Grandma Lu asked in a panic.

Old Yu took a sip of tea and said, "He hasn't come back. I don't know where he went."

Grandma Lu broke down in tears, crying, "How could he not be here! He should at least have given some money, otherwise his father would have been beaten to death by the Xu family!"

Old Yu sneered inwardly, thinking that Lu Yang really understood Old Madam Lu and Lu Jianjun, and had predicted their arrival in advance.

When Grandma Lu saw that Lu Yang was not there, she ran back. Fortunately, Lu Jianzhong arrived in time with his men and blocked the Xu family.

"Lu Jianjun, thank you for returning the betrothal gifts!"

Lu Jianzhong said, suppressing his anger.

Lu Jianjun was very unwilling, but after enduring more than ten large sinus punctures, he finally gave in.

He slowly got up, went to the inner room, took out a box, and threw it directly to Xu's mother: "The betrothal gifts have been spent; I bought this bracelet."

Recently, Guan Xiuqin has been ignoring Lu Jianjun, so Lu Jianjun wanted to buy her a bracelet to please her.

It was a pity that the bracelet had to be returned. His heart was bleeding, and he kept cursing Lu Yang and Lu Yue for not being obedient and for making him suffer.

The Xu family took the bracelet and left immediately. They had to sell the bracelet quickly to raise money to pay off the subsidy. If they couldn't pay off the subsidy, their chicken farm would never be able to reopen.
