The driver was Lu Yang's cousin, Lu Jianyou. He glanced at Lin Hongshan, then at Chen Kui and Li Fei, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yangzi, you don't owe anyone money, do you?"

Lu Jianyou asked somewhat nervously.

Lu Yang tilted his head back and said with a smile, "I mortgaged my house in the provincial capital for 100,000 yuan. I owe the bank money."

Lu Jianyou gasped: "You ignorant brats, oh dear, you really don't know what's good for you!"

Lu Yang shook his head indifferently. He didn't actually owe any money; he was just making excuses.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Chen's Restaurant in the county, the group got off the four-wheeled vehicle. Lu Yang took out five yuan and handed it to Lu Jianyou: "Uncle, thank you for giving us a ride."

Lu Jianyou glanced at Lu Yang speechlessly, took his money, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and pulled out twenty yuan.

"Yangzi, you've always been stubborn. You can't be like that in the future, or you'll suffer the consequences."

"Take this money and get through the New Year first. You can pay back the money slowly."

Lu Yang felt a lump in his throat. His uncle's family was not well-off, yet he still gave him twenty yuan. He couldn't help but feel touched.

"I was just kidding. I'm doing fine, I don't owe any money, you can keep this money."

Lu Jianyou rolled his eyes at him: "You're not getting any younger. You should make more money, get married, and settle down!"

"Your dad is outrageous, don't you dare follow his example!"

Lu Yang nodded; he would rather die than follow Lu Jianjun's example.

They chatted for a while, and then Lu Jianyou drove his four-wheeled vehicle back home.

Lin Hongshan glanced at his mother and said, "Lin Gui just said he wants a divorce from you."

Lin's mother showed no surprise. She turned to look at Lin Gui with a cold gaze.

Lu Yang said to Ge San, "You go with Hongshan to tell Boss Du, and I'll go with Aunt Lin to get a divorce."

Lin Hongshan is not able to go along now; he has to continue playing the role of the kidnapped one.

Ge San nodded and entered Chen's Restaurant with Lin Hongshan, Chen Kui, and Li Fei.

Lu Yang smiled and looked at Lin's mother and Lin Gui. Lin's mother rushed towards the marriage registration office without hesitation.

Lin Gui followed with his hands behind his back, while Lin Hongmin handed his luggage to Lin Hongshan and silently followed beside them.

The three of them soon arrived at the marriage registration office. Lin's mother went to the divorce registration window and took out her household registration book and a piece of paper.

Their marriage certificate was just a piece of paper with their names, the date of their marriage, and the Chinese character for "double happiness" written on it.

This paper is very ordinary, and it's rare that it has been preserved for so many years.

Lin's mother said bluntly, "We're getting a divorce."

Lin Gui glanced at his mother with a cold look, but did not dare to make a move because Lu Yang was present.

The staff member inside the window, who had been reading a newspaper, was taken aback after hearing what Lin's mother said.

After all, very few people get divorced these days. Most people are ashamed of divorce and would rather die than get divorced even if the sky were to fall.

"Are you sure?"

The staff looked at Lin's mother and Lin Gui and asked.

Lin's mother said without hesitation, "Hurry up and do it, I'm busy making money!"

Lin Gui was initially hesitant, but after hearing his mother's words, he immediately said firmly, "Let's get a divorce."

The staff member sighed and muttered under his breath, "The child is already so big, why are you still talking about divorce?"

But she didn't hesitate at all, and the procedures were completed in less than ten minutes.

Lin Gui took the divorce certificate and walked back without looking back, as if afraid that his mother would pester him.

Lin's mother put away the divorce certificate and household registration book and said, "Yangzi, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"I know it's wrong to say this, but you're more enterprising than Hongshan and earn more money. Could you lend him some money first?"

Lu Yang said politely, "Let's go to Chen's Restaurant and meet up with Hongshan and the others first. We can talk about the rest later."

Lin's mother sighed and pulled Lin Hongmin along with Lu Yang as they walked out.

Lu Yang hailed a three-wheeled vehicle as soon as he left the house and invited Lin's mother and Lin Hongmin to get in.

"This must cost a lot of money. Let's walk back."

Lin's mother shook her head in disapproval, feeling that Lu Yang was wasting money.

Lu Yang urged, "We've already paid, hurry up and come up."

Lin's mother and Lin Hongmin then got into the car. Lin Hongmin said helplessly, "Brother Lu, is your restaurant short-staffed? My mother and I are both quite capable."

Lu Yang patted his head and said, "You're only two years older than Xingxing. Just go to school and don't worry about anything."

"Even if the sky falls, the adults will hold it up; it's not your turn."

Lin's mother nodded in agreement: "Yes, if your older brother goes to high school, he will definitely be able to get into university. You must study hard."

"As long as we're all here, we can definitely make it through together. Don't overthink it!"

The three arrived at the entrance of Chen's Restaurant. Lu Yang paid the bill, and the three of them got out of the car and went into the restaurant together.

After they entered the restaurant, Lu Yang said to Chen Kui and Li Fei, "Gentlemen, this meal is on me."

Chen Kui smiled and said, "This kind of lively atmosphere is not common, and we also find it quite amusing."

Li Fei took a sip of his drink and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Sister Du isn't here, let's eat something good, it won't cost any money, come over here."

Lin's mother asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

After inviting them to sit down, Lu Yang said, "This was a trap we set together so that you could get rid of the Lin family smoothly."

Lin's mother frowned and thought for a moment, then slapped Lin Hongshan on the head: "You scared me to death!"

Lin Hongshan tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mother's bowl: "Mom, I was afraid of giving myself away, that's why I didn't tell you beforehand."

"We're finally free from this misery!"

Lin Hongmin's eyes lit up, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief before asking, "Brother, where exactly are you working now?"

Lin Hongshan said with a smile, "I work at Yangzi's branch. Yangzi has opened four new stores in the south. My monthly salary is now five hundred."

"five hundred!"

Lin Hongmin nearly choked, staring wide-eyed at Lin Hongshan.

Then he turned to Lu Yang and said, "Brother Lu, I'll work for you from now on. You can give me 500 yuan a month too."

Lu Yang said helplessly, "You're only in your third year of junior high. You won't graduate for another seven years. We'll talk about it then."

"Maybe I'll offer you a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan. Let's eat first, and then come to my house for the New Year!"

Lin Hongmin looked hopeful; as long as his brother wasn't really in debt, life would be much better.

After the group finished eating, Lu Yang insisted on giving them thirty yuan for the meal before telling them to leave.

When they returned, Lu's mother was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Hearing the door open, she instinctively turned her head to look at the doorway and saw Lin's mother come in.

"Suqin, what brings you here?"

Lu's mother was unaware of Lu Yang and his group's plan, so she was somewhat surprised.

Lin's mother gave a wry smile: "Sister Tian, ​​I'll have to trouble you this year for the New Year."

Lu's mother quickly pulled her inside, saying, "We're all from the same village, don't be so formal. Stay as long as you want!"

"Have you eaten? I'll go make you some noodles!"

Lin's mother quickly waved her hand: "No need, I've already eaten..."

The two immediately started chatting, and Lu Yang quickly settled the others.
