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

Lu Yang arrived home around 10 a.m.

"Big brother, you're finally back!"

Lu Xing burst out of the house like a whirlwind, his voice loud and clear.

After getting out of the car, Lu Yang said, "These, these, I bought them all. Hurry up and take them back!"

Lu Xing climbed onto the car like a monkey, while Lu Yue caught him below. The two of them unloaded all the things from the car.

Lu Yang helped Cheng Lin move his things to his house. At that time, Cheng Lin's family was at work and no one was home.

When Lu Yang returned home, Lu Xing had already opened two packs of firecrackers and was playing with Lu Yue in the yard.

Where's Mom?

Lu Yang walked to the door and asked.

If Lu's mother were home, she would have come out long ago; if she didn't come out, she must not be here.

"Sister Lili and Mom went out to buy things!"

Lu Yue's eyes curved into crescent moons as she answered with a smile.

Lu Yang returned to his room, exhausted. The room was warm, and lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) at home gave him a sense of security.

He fell asleep not long after, and when he woke up, it was already dark.

He vaguely heard people talking and cooking in the kitchen, while Lu Xing and Lu Yue were playing with firecrackers and sparklers outside.

It seemed that other people's children were also coming to play in his yard, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Lu Yang felt relieved. He had fought so hard for all of this in order to achieve this peaceful life.

"You're awake!" Yao Lili walked in, took off her apron, and asked with a smile, "You've been back for so long, what happened on the way?"

Lu Yang sat up and briefly explained Qi Kang's situation.

Yao Lili couldn't help but sigh: "His mother is useless. If it weren't for the fact that this child has some brains, they would all have been swindled and ended up on the streets!"

Lu Yang smiled easily: "I'll go south to see them after the New Year."

"Did nothing happen while I was away from home?"

Yao Lili rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, and whispered, "Your dad went to Xingxing and Yue'er's school and insisted on taking Yue'er away."

"He said that it's useless for girls to study and that they'll get married sooner or later. Even I can see that he's just bored and deliberately looking for trouble."

"The female teachers at Yue'er's school are really something else; they always give your dad a thorough dressing down."

Lu Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. He really didn't expect Lu Jianjun to be so incorrigible.

Yao Lili seemed to have seen through Lu Yang's thoughts and speculated, "Lu Jianjun went to the fertilizer factory to find Guan Xiuqin. Guan Xiuqin said that she would go south to accompany Lu Yao for surgery during the Spring Festival holiday."

"She also said that Lu Yao borrowed the money from his classmates to pay for the surgery, implying that Lu Jianjun was unwilling to pay."

“Lu Jianjun was provoked. He even went to your mother’s stall to cause trouble, but he was chased away by the security department of the meat processing plant. Your aunt often treats them to wontons.”

Lu Yang sneered inwardly and said directly, "Lu Yao is using Lu Qing's relationship to blackmail her into paying for the surgery. Given Lu Qing's personality, she's unlikely to give it to him. This money is most likely given to him by Guan Xiuqin."

Yao Lili was startled: "They are siblings, doesn't he want Lu Qing to be alright?"

She was stunned after saying that. Her younger brother, Yao Jinbao, used to hang out with Cheng Yaozu and never wished her any well.

Thinking of this, she sighed: "Although I don't like Lu Qing, but... sigh..."

Lu Yang glanced at Yao Lili but didn't mention that he was the one who told Lu Yao about Lu Qing's relationship.

Yao Lili empathizes with Lu Qing because she has no memory of her past life and doesn't know that Lu Qing almost drove her to suicide in her previous life.

"Dinner's ready, stop playing!"

Lu's mother pushed open the door to the main room and shouted outside.

Lu Xing and Lu Yue ran in, covered in frost, their faces beaming with joy.

Lu Yang and Yao Lili also quickly went out to help with the work, and the family sat together to eat and chat.

"There are only ten days left until the New Year. Don't go out anymore, just stay at home."

After dinner, when Lu Yang was helping his mother wash the dishes, his mother couldn't help but say something.

Lu Yang said with a smile, "I'll just go out and set up a stall. Staying at home is just as bad as I'm doing nothing."

Lu's mother gave Lu Yang a reproachful look, her voice choked with emotion: "You don't need to work so hard. We're doing better now than before."

Lu Yang disagreed; he wanted to be superior to others.

He wants all those who fooled, exploited, and despised him in his past life to look up to him!

After the meal, Lu Yang took a sparkly hair clip out of his pocket and put it on Yao Lili's hair.

"I thought it looked nice, so I bought one for you."

Yao Lili touched the hair clip on her head, her eyes filled with smiles.

Before we knew it, it was already 10 p.m.

"Go back to sleep early."

Lu Yang looked into Yao Lili's bright, watery eyes and said with a smile.

Yao Lili nodded: "Go to sleep early."

She got up and left the room. Lu Yang quickly locked the door, washed his face with cold water, and lay on the bed, wide awake.

I finally drifted off to sleep around 2 a.m. and didn't wake up until almost 7 a.m.

Lu Yang quickly got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then moved the clothes from the truck to a small cart to set up a stall.

The festive atmosphere was strong at this time of year, and the streets were crowded. Lu Yang was so busy that he didn't have a moment to rest all morning, and by noon, all the clothes were sold out.

After the goods were sold out, Lu Yang went to the department store and headed straight for the home appliance section.

He walked up to the color TV and said, "Comrade, I want to buy a Peony brand color TV."

The sales clerk casually cracked sunflower seeds and said, "Eighteen thousand."

Lu Yang handed her the money. She was a little surprised, but she quickly put the money away, packed up the color TV, and handed it back to Lu Yang.

"Thank you." Lu Yang said thank you, then carried the color TV away.

The most popular Peony brand color TVs now are 14 inches, which are "big head" TVs.

He couldn't notice that Guan Xiuqin was nearby, just in time to see him buying a television.

Guan Xiuqin's eyes turned red with jealousy. She and Lu Jianjun had tried their best to raise money for Lu Yao's surgery, but they still couldn't raise enough. She even had to humble herself and ask Liang Jingwei for money.

Lu Yang, however, had the money to buy a TV for 1,800 yuan, while even Liang Jingwei, the director of a fertilizer plant, didn't have a color TV.

"Where did this little bastard get so much money?"

Guan Xiuqin frowned, her expression contorting for a moment.

She immediately walked over and blocked Lu Yang's way: "You can make so much money selling clothes at a stall?"

"Are you up to no good, stealing chickens and dogs?!"

Lu Yang looked at Guan Xiuqin with a half-smile: "You've been doing better and better since leaving my dad. Will I have to call you the factory director's wife soon?"

Guan Xiuqin's eyes flickered with panic; she was unsure how Lu Yang knew about her relationship with Liang Jingwei.

She had kept this a secret from the Lu family, and Lu Yao couldn't possibly tell Lu Yang.

"I'm talking about your business!" Guan Xiuqin forced herself to remain calm, and her tone became more forceful: "The brick factory your father found for you pays well and pays quickly. If you go there and work honestly, you'll have a better life. But if you keep doing these low-class jobs, you'll die a violent death on the street sooner or later!"

Lu Yang scoffed as if he'd heard a joke, "Really? You're still dreaming that I'll work myself to the bone to send your children to school!"

"May someone piss on you to wake you up and stop your delusions!"

"Get out of my way! A good dog doesn't block the way. Don't come near me again. Seeing you during the New Year is bad luck!"

As he spoke, Lu Yang pushed her away with his shoulder and strode away quickly.
