The stall owner didn't even lift his eyelids before saying, "Five hundred."

Lu Yang shook his head: "Fifty."

The stall owner waved his hand impatiently: "Go cool off somewhere else!"

Lu Yang sat cross-legged opposite his stall: "If you think it's not suitable, let's talk about it again."

The stall owner frowned: "Three hundred, no lower!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yang gave the stall owner three hundred yuan and bought the stone.

He then took the jade bowl out of his pocket: "Would you like this?"

The stall owner didn't use a flashlight; he simply took the jade bowl and examined it closely.

Lu Yang also took the opportunity to observe the stall owner and found that the guy only had one good eye, while the other eye was completely white, as if he had cataracts.

After looking at it for a while, the stall owner nodded in satisfaction: "It's real, it should be Hetian jade from the Song Dynasty."

"Two thousand five hundred, that's all I can take."

Lu Yang said speechlessly, "You want 300 yuan for that ugly stone, but you only give me 2500 yuan for this big, beautiful jade bowl!"

The stall owner looked at Lu Yang as if he were an idiot: "If you're not going to sell, then get lost! These things are judged by their age, rarity, quality of material, and preservation. What does that have to do with whether they're pretty or not? Do you think all antiques are pretty?"

Lu Yang stroked his chin and insisted, "I went to great lengths to find this. 2500 is absolutely not enough. You need to add at least another 1000. It's definitely genuine."

The stall owner was silent for a moment, then turned the jade bowl over, pointed to the bottom of the bowl and said, "This bowl should be a pair. Do you see this fish? The fish is complete when its head and tail are connected."

"There's only one left, and the price is heavily discounted. It can only sell for 3000 at most. If you don't want to sell it, find someone else."

Lu Yang had never looked at it closely before. He took the bowl and stared at the bottom of it carefully.

Under the beam of the flashlight, there was indeed a lifelike fish at the bottom of the bowl.

He remembered that the fake bowl Bai Yiyi had taken out earlier had no fish at the bottom, so he assumed this bowl also had no fish and hadn't looked closely.

After thinking it over, he agreed to the deal and asked Bai Yiyi if she had seen the other jade bowl.

After collecting the money, he immediately left the black market, circled around for a while, and then returned to the appliance store.

Cheng Lin returned before him and was sitting in the shop slurping noodles.

Upon seeing him return, he immediately mumbled, "I found two satisfactory houses!"

Lu Yang sat down next to him and said, "Let's go take a look together tomorrow and talk about the price."

Cheng Lin chuckled sheepishly and continued slurping his noodles in silence.

Just then, the phone in the shop rang. Aunt Yu answered the call and listened for a moment, her expression immediately changing.

"Yangzi, something's happened to your family!"

Aunt Yu said in a panic.

Lu Yang quickly ran over to answer the phone: "Hello, is this Xingxing?"

"Big brother, come back quickly! Mom and second brother were beaten by Dad, and he's forcing Mom to move back within three days!"

Lu Yue's voice came through the phone, sobbing uncontrollably.

Lu Yang gripped his phone, feeling a surge of anger rising to the top of his head.

He suppressed his anger and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll be right back."

Cheng Lin put down his bowl and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yang said coldly, "Lu Jianjun went crazy, rushed into my house, and beat up my mother and my brother and sister-in-law!"

Cheng Lin wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go back with you; I can lend a hand."

Lu Yang instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he remembered that Cheng Lin had been involved in the underworld in his previous life, he nodded.

The two drove back overnight and went straight to the hospital.

Lu's mother and Lu Xing were both beaten and hospitalized. With the help of several neighbors, Lu Yue helped them complete the hospitalization procedures.

When Lu Yang and Cheng Lin entered the ward, they saw two other people in the room, both of whom were usually very close to Lu's mother.

"Big brother!"

Lu Yang walked over, hugged Lu Yue's head and patted it: "It's okay, brother is here."

Yao Lili had a clear handprint on her face, half of her face was swollen, and her eyes were full of anger.

As Lu Yue calmed down, Lu Yang looked at his mother and Lu Xing lying on the bed.

"Your dad was really ruthless. How could he hit someone on the head and even use a knife on a child? It almost killed someone!"

Cheng's mother next door had a furious look on her face. Although she was biased, she didn't deserve to be so violent.

At that moment, the doctor walked in, and Lu Yang quickly asked, "Doctor, are my mother's and brother's injuries serious?"

The doctor glanced at Lu Yang and said gently, "Your mother had three stitches in her head. She has a mild concussion and can be discharged after a few days of rest."

"Your brother has eight stitches in his leg, but don't worry. It looks scary, but it's just from blood loss. He'll be fine after a few days of rest."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. He politely asked the doctor about precautions before returning to his ward.

"Aunties, my brother and I can keep watch here. You can go back now. Thank you for your help this time."

When they returned, Lu Yang gave Cheng's mother ten yuan so they could take a taxi home.

At first, Cheng's mother didn't want to accept the money, so Lu Yang had to say that he was worried about their safety on the way back. He said that if they didn't accept it, he would take them back.

When Lu's mother went out, she said goodbye to Cheng Lin and then left with the others.

Cheng Lin glanced at Lu Yang, quietly closed the ward door, and went to the corridor.

Lu Yang sat down in a chair and asked Lu Yue, "What exactly happened?"

Lu Yue's emotions had stabilized, and she briefly recounted what had happened.

It turns out that Guan Xiuqin married Liang Jingwei half a month ago, but the news didn't cause much of a stir in the county.

After all, Leung King-wai's first wife had passed away not long ago, and they had only just registered their marriage.

But Lu Jianguo still found out, and he rushed to the fertilizer plant to find Guan Xiuqin.

Guan Xiuqin has definitely broken up with him, and when Old Madam Lu found out about it, she fell ill.

With spring planting season approaching, Lu Jianjun thought of his mother again and insisted that she come back with him.

"He took a water ladle and kept hitting Mom on the head with it, forcing her to go back with him!"

"Mom, she just wouldn't budge. I ran out to get help, but when I came back, my second brother had been chopped down by her... Waaah..."

Lu Yue's tears, which she had managed to stop, flowed again, like a burst dam.

Lu Yang sneered. In his previous life, after Lu Yao went to university, Guan Xiuqin also found an excuse to work at the fertilizer factory.

She secretly hooked up with Liang Jingwei, but in her previous life he was still working outside, and all the money he earned was spent on Lu Yao and Lu Qing.

With the money from selling Lu Yue, plus Lu's mother raising pigs and managing household chores at home, and Lu Jianjun having the energy to farm, there was another source of income.

Therefore, in her previous life, Guan Xiuqin only made Lu Yao's relationship with Liang Jingwei public after Lu Yao graduated from university, thus completely dumping Lu Jianjun.

But now we've separated early, and Guan Xiuqin has also broken ties with Lu Jianjun ahead of time.

Looking at his mother and Lu Xing, who were lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Lu Yang felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.

He had to make Lu Jianjun pay the price, otherwise he would have no energy left to drag them down with him.
