Gu Suyi lowered her eyes. She would never be neighbors with the Hu family. She would live in the Lu family and let Liu Zhibai take care of her.

After talking about Gu Suyi, Si Qi Nian shouted to Yang Juhua in the yard, "You guys should also prepare to build a yard for Yuanhang and Yuanzheng respectively. It's not good to stay at your brother's house all the time!"

Yang Juhua ran out embarrassedly, "I am a woman and cannot make the decision. You go talk to Sandou."

She has no money left. How can she survive if she leaves the Lu family?

Si Qi Nian snorted coldly, "I will go and tell them tomorrow. You guys should prepare for it. You must return the Lu family's house to Han Qing within a month."

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Juhua nodded in response.

At this time, Liu Zhibai took out four hundred yuan from the house, and after holding back for a long time, he was willing to hand it over.

Lu Chaoyan wanted him to suffer. She took the money with a smile and said, "You are already old. Please have some dignity and stop stealing."

Si Qienian got annoyed when he heard the double meaning of this sentence.

He spat heavily, "Liu Zhibai, I hope you can take care of yourself and don't lose your integrity in your later years."

Even a fool can understand such straightforward words.

Liu Zhibai's face turned blue and red, but fortunately it was night and no one could see.

"Secretary Si, you misunderstood. It was Lu Chaoyan who slandered me. It's not what you think."

"That would be great!" Si Qi Nian's eyes were full of warning, "If I find out anything, you can't stay in my Lianshan Brigade anymore."

After saying that, he glared at Lu Xiang, who was sitting beside him after being helped up by Mu Hongying. "I don't care what you think. If you dare to hurt Chao Yan and Han Qing again, I will make the decision and make you and Liu Zhibai divorce. There is no room for negotiation."

The word "divorce" was like a bomb, making Lu Xiang's head buzz.

"No, I won't divorce you. I won't divorce you, Secretary Si. I can't divorce you. Ahem."

When Mu Hongying heard her cough, she quickly advised, "Hey, stop crying and think more about the child, okay?"

Lu Chaoyan looked at Liu Zhibai and said, "Lu Xiang was injured by you. I won't ask you for medical expenses. Just heal her."

Si Qi Nian jumped up when he heard this, "What? Liu Zhibai, you hit her?"

"No, I accidentally dropped it," Liu Zhibai was so scared that he quickly helped Lu Xiang to the clinic, "I'll cure her."

Lu Xiang hadn't had such close contact with Liu Zhibai for a long time.

Her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk, so she could only rely on Mu Hongying to support her waist. She didn't forget to say, "Secretary Si, it really has nothing to do with Zhibai. I fell down accidentally. I didn't walk steadily. Don't blame him."

Lu Chaoyan was counting money. After hearing this, she smiled bitterly, "Secretary Si, go sit over there with Si Zhengyan for a while. I'll go over later."

"Well, the money is safe. Don't lose it again." Si Qi Nian strode away.

Lu Chaoyan took the money and went into the bedroom.

Her bed was cut in half and she could no longer sleep in it. All the clothes and quilts in the closet were pulled out and thrown on the floor, leaving mud all over the floor.

She picked it up, shook it, and threw it on the broken bed.

Then he collected the four hundred yuan and threw it over the beam, placing it there together with the three bundles of money.

The yard was quiet, and Yang Juhua told Cao Lan that her money was taken away by Lu Chaoyan.

"Why am I so unlucky? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone into Lu Chaoyan's room with Hu Li."

"I told you to save up your money and build a house, but you refused. Now you have nothing to show for it."

Cao Lan was the one who least wanted to live in this courtyard. She was busy all year round, had not saved any money, and had no sense of belonging.

But my parents-in-law wouldn't let me go, saying they had no money to build a house.

Now, Lu Chaoyan deserves it for taking so much!

She saw that the two children had fallen asleep with tear marks on their faces and their mouths smacking from time to time, obviously they had not eaten at night.

She ran to the kitchen angrily and looked around, but there was nothing to eat inside. Fortunately, she secretly ate a few pieces on the way to deliver the snake soup.

She returned to her bedroom and was about to take her clothes to take a shower when Lu Chaoyan stood at the door and handed her a handwritten house rental contract.

"Cao Lan, Third Uncle and his family haven't come back yet, so please sign this. For the past ten years, I'll give you a hundred dollars because of our blood relationship. From now on, you have to give me two dollars a month for rent, and five dollars a year for the loss of kitchen utensils."

"What does this mean? Why do we still have to collect rent?" Cao Lan could read, and after reading it, her head was buzzing.

If she had known this, she should not have married Liu Yuanhang.

Now I don’t even have a place to live.

"Literally," Lu Chaoyan looked at the kitchen, "We won't eat together anymore. You must clean up the kitchen after using it. Don't attract flies and mosquitoes in such a hot day."

After saying this, she didn't give Cao Lan any chance to refute and went to the backyard again.

Gu Suyi and Tao Yuwei were in the middle of the yard, cooking jam in a large iron pot. On the table next to them were seven glass bottles of dark purple mulberry jam, still emitting faint steam.

In addition, there were thirteen empty bottles and a jar of honey.

Gu Suyi looked at her defensively, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Zhibai had instructed that the Lu and Liu families were not allowed to disturb them in the backyard.

"Of course I was attracted by the smell," Lu Chaoyan picked up a bottle of jam, sniffed it, took out a spoon from his pocket, and ate it. "Well, the craftsmanship is good. Three dollars a bottle is worth the price."

Tao Yuwei's heart tightened. How did she know that she sold it for three yuan a bottle?

Did Si Zhengyang say that?

Idiot! She told him many times to keep his mouth shut, but he just couldn't remember.

If outsiders knew that they were secretly producing and selling jam, they would need to reform.

She glared at Lu Chaoyan and said, "Lu Chaoyan, if my mother, brother and sister-in-law and I have done anything wrong and offended you, you can just tell me directly. There is no need to punish us."

"You think too much," Lu Chaoyan put down the mulberry jam and took out the lease contract, "Come and collect the rent!"

Tao Yuwei had just seen it, but after lowering her eyes to glance at it, she raised her head with a look of contempt.

"Three hundred dollars for ten years is not expensive, but I don't have the money right now. At the end of the year, we'll settle all the old and new accounts together."

By then, Si Zhengyang had already acknowledged the relationship. With the strength of that family, killing Lu Chaoyan would be easier than crushing an ant.

Looking at Tao Yuwei, who had lost her fragility in front of others and was now cold and aloof, Lu Chaoyan curled her lips in a sneer. This was the aura of a heroine.

"No, pay the rent for the ten years you've been living here first, or get out right now."

"Lu Chaoyan, I have the final say in this family, it's not your turn to make the decision!"

Liu Zhibai, who had just applied medicine to Lu Xiang's wound, heard Cao Lan say that Lu Chaoyan went to the backyard to collect rent, and hurried to the backyard.

After he finished his scolding, he snatched the paper and tore it to pieces, "In the beginning, I was the one who brought them here and let them live here. I didn't give the order, and no one has the right to drive them away.

If you continue to make trouble, don’t even think about me passing on my medical skills to Lu Hanqing.”

Lu Chaoyan ignored him, picked up the mulberry jam, took a few more bites, and then said, "Such delicious food must have a lot of people buying it. I wonder what will happen if someone catches me?"
