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

These days, even a family of six in the countryside might not be able to save 1,200 yuan.

Moreover, Lu Qing is only a sophomore in college and has no source of income.

Lu Yang sneered. In his previous life, at this time, he was working in the provincial capital with Yao Lili.

Lu Qing received money from Li Xiuqin through Old Mrs. Lu and spared no effort in pressuring Yao Lili.

She was involved with Yao Lili's Huang Yao everywhere, which caused Yao Lili to become depressed and almost commit suicide twice.

In order to find something to use against Lu Qing, Lu Yang followed her for a long time and accidentally learned that Lu Qing was dating Shen Xuwen and that she was keeping other classmates as mistresses.

Later, he used these weaknesses to negotiate with Lu Qing, and Lu Qing reluctantly gave up.

Lu Yang took Cheng Lin to deposit the money, and on the way back, he told her about Lu Qing's way of making money.

Cheng Lin was stunned and couldn't help but tease, "This woman could have been a socialite in old Shanghai!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes and sped up, saying, "Let's go buy New Year's goods first. It's really bad luck to mention them during the New Year."

Cheng Lin burst into laughter: "You've really had a tough time!"

At this time of year, the festive atmosphere is strong, and the streets and alleys are full of people. The vegetable market is especially crowded and lively.

Cheng Lin bought 800 firecrackers, 30 jin of pork (chopped from the fattest parts), two small free-range chickens, and a fish that was about a meter long when standing upright.

Lu Yang thought about his younger siblings, so in addition to firecrackers, he also bought snap pops, sparklers, two large bags of milk candy and fruit candy, and a lot of pork, beef, chicken and fish.

When they left the market, the two strong men could barely carry their purchases.

Cheng Lin laughed as he walked, "This is awesome! This is the first time I've ever bought so many New Year's goods."

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh. He realized that what Cheng Lin bought wasn't important; he just enjoyed the feeling of spending money.

After getting into the car, the two went back to the two-story building, planning to go to another market the next day to see what they wanted to buy.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the two-story building, they saw a familiar-looking young man.

The young man, trembling, had a cigarette dangling from his lips. When he saw Lu Yang return, he immediately waved and said, "You're back!"

Lu Yang got out of the car and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw two thugs dragging Qi Yong over.

Qi Yong had a bruised and swollen face; he looked like he'd been badly beaten.

He stammered, "You...you, I don't want this house anymore, please don't cause me any more trouble!"

The thug slapped him on the head and shouted angrily, "Who's bothering you? How did you get that injury on your face?"

Qi Yong, with snot and tears streaming down his face, said, "I fell down myself."

The thug continued to urge, "Speak up, speak up! What are you standing there for? I'm freezing to death! We're waiting to go back and drink!"

Qi Yong choked up and said, "I was wrong. I don't want this house anymore. I won't bother you anymore."

Cheng Lin grinned, almost bursting out laughing.

Lu Yang said expressionlessly, "I bought this house for 60,000 yuan, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Since you know you were wrong, wash the swill you splashed on the door and walls clean!"

After saying that, he looked at the three thugs and said, "Hey guys, let's go to the restaurant next door for drinks. Order whatever you want, it's on me!"

The young man's slight dissatisfaction vanished instantly. He waved his hand and said, "Qi Yong, hurry up and wipe it. If you haven't finished wiping by the time I get back from dinner, I'll pour the swill all over you!"

After saying that, he invited his two companions and Lu Yang to have dinner together. When they arrived at the restaurant, the young man ordered five dishes in one go.

Lu Yang smiled and said to the owner, "Give me another braised pork knuckle and braised beef."

"What would you three like to drink? Please help yourselves."

The young man was taken aback: "Is doing business in the south really that profitable?"

Cheng Lin gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, if you're willing to risk your life, you can do this job too!"

The young man asked his companion to get the wine, and he asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Cheng Lin took a bottle of baijiu from his companion, poured a glass for everyone, and then began to embellish his story.

According to him, Lu Yang and he were caught up by armed thugs on their way south.

Those people chased them all the way to Guangzhou, and then watched them buy the goods and load them onto their trucks. They then attacked them on a remote road, and after a fierce battle, they managed to escape.

While it's largely true, it wasn't nearly as thrilling as some people think.

Lu Yang listened quietly from the side and suddenly realized that Cheng Lin had a real talent for storytelling.

The three thugs were stunned. One of them, who was a bit drunk, blurted out, "You stole that double-barreled shotgun?"

The young man's face immediately changed, and he said awkwardly, "We really liked your big truck, so we were curious and went closer to take a look, and that's when we saw that gun."

Cheng Lin quickly realized what was going on and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's nothing. No man dislikes a gun."

"That's the one. Back then, Brother Lu and I snatched their guns with our bare hands, and we almost lost our lives there."

The young man's expression became more serious. He chuckled dryly as he filled Cheng Lin's glass with wine, his face showing a more solemn look.

After a satisfying meal, the five of them went to the two-story building and saw Qi Yong standing at the door with a bucket in his hand.

He said with a long face, "I've wiped it all clean."

Lu Yang waved his hand at him, as if shooing away a fly.

Qi Yong was furious but dared not speak out, and ran away with the bucket in his hand.

After saying goodbye to Lu Yang and his friends, the three thugs walked away arm in arm.

Lu Yang and Chen Lin locked the door and entered the courtyard, both feeling a bit dizzy and unsteady.

Cheng Lin glanced at the truck and said lazily, "Don't bother unloading the stuff. We'll head back tomorrow."

Lu Yang was too lazy to move, so the two went back inside, lit a stove, heated up the room, and went to sleep.

The next morning at six o'clock, the two bought breakfast on the way and ate it as they hurried back.

At the same time, Lu Qing used all of her more than 1,000 yuan to buy government bonds, and she breathed a long sigh of relief as she returned to her rented room in Wanhua Jincheng.

Lu Yao called Guan Xiuqin and told her about Lu Yang and Lu Qing.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that, without knowing when, he had become the one living the most miserable life among the three.

He was the most outstanding of the three from childhood to adulthood. Lu Yang and Lu Qing should have been his stepping stones, one should have been his servant, and the other should have been his stepping stone to get a dowry.

But now Lu Yang is making a fortune in business, yet he won't give her a single penny.

Lu Qing had a powerful and influential boyfriend and was trying her best to sever ties with him.

Upon hearing this news, Guan Xiuqin exclaimed excitedly, "Are you sure?"

Lu Yao was stung by Guan Xiuqin's attitude, and his tone turned cold: "You're too happy too soon. She's only interested in being an official's wife now and doesn't care about us poor relatives at all."

Guan Xiuqin also realized what was going on: "Don't worry, I decide what kind of person she wants to marry. If I don't agree, the marriage won't happen."

She spoke with great confidence, and then she said with a smile, "I have some good news for you, but you're not allowed to tell anyone. Your Uncle Liang and I are getting our marriage certificate after the New Year."

"Mom will pay for your surgery. Go get the surgery done quickly, then focus on your studies. Don't worry about anything else."

When Lu Yao heard that the surgery fees had been secured, his frustration subsided somewhat.

After receiving the money from Guan Xiuqin, he immediately took a train south.
