"She agreed, but..."

Uncle Lu pondered for a moment and then stated the conditions proposed by Qiao Min.

"You helped her pay off the loan sharks, and now she's asking you for 100,000 yuan?"

She wants the house too. This isn't just about making you leave with nothing; she's about making you support her for the rest of her life.

Madam Lu was so angry she laughed.

Her daughter-in-law is truly a greedy and stupid person.

"Eldest son, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but how could you have been so blind when you were young? How could you have fallen for a woman like this?"

Lu Yuanming remained silent.

Old Master Lu, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Old woman, stop talking nonsense."

Since the eldest son is now determined to get a divorce, and the other party wants the house and money, just give it to them.

The Lu family is not short of money.

After the old man spoke, Madam Lu didn't say anything more. She turned around, went to the study, took out a bankbook, and handed it to Uncle Lu.

"Give."

Uncle Lu took the passbook, glanced at it, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for taking such good care of me, Mom and Dad."

This money is equivalent to dividends from the family business, and everyone in the Lu family gets a share. Uncle Lu's share has always been kept by Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, and Qiao Min had no idea about it.

...

On the other side.

After Jiang Yue drove away from the Lu family's old house, she couldn't help but ask Lu Jingnian, "Why did Uncle suddenly want to divorce Aunt? Is it because of Aunt's high-interest loan?"

Lu Jingnian was fiddling with the plush toys he had bought for the two children. When he heard Jiang Yue's question, he smiled and said, "The matter of your aunt borrowing money from loan sharks can only be described as a trigger."

Their marriage was already problematic, but the fact that it hadn't come to a head for so many years was only because the uncle had repeatedly given in.

But everyone has a bottom line, and for my uncle, that bottom line might be his son, his future grandson, and the reputation of the Lu family.

This time, my aunt has accurately crossed all these bottom lines.

Even the best-tempered uncle has his limits.

After Lu Jingnian explained it this way, Jiang Yue basically understood what was going on.

"If my uncle and his wife get divorced, what will happen to my older brother and his wife?"

Jiang Yue asked, she wasn't worried about what would happen to her aunt after the divorce, but she was a little worried about An Luo. After all, An Luo was pregnant now. What if her uncle and we divorced and then went to cause trouble for An Luo?

"They are all adults, they can definitely take care of themselves."

"I think my sister-in-law approves of my brother-in-law and aunt's divorce," Lu Jingnian said.

After saying that, Lu Jingnian looked at Jiang Yue and said, "You don't need to think of your sister-in-law as so weak. She's not as simple as you think."

"laugh!"

The car suddenly stopped by the roadside. Jiang Yue turned to look at Lu Jingnian seriously and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Jingnian said helplessly, "Think about it, if my sister-in-law really didn't have any tricks up her sleeve, would she have been able to keep Lu Jinglan on her side all these years?"

Girls raised in large families, having learned the ways of the world from a young age, may appear gentle, but that doesn't mean they are truly weak.

After saying that, Lu Jingnian reached out and pinched Jiang Yue's cheek.

"On the contrary, you seem shrewd and are very good at doing business, but all your thoughts are written on your face, and people can tell at a glance."

Do I have one?

Jiang Yue stared at Lu Jingnian in astonishment. She had always thought of herself as someone who could hide her emotions quite well and was also quite cunning.

Why does Lu Jingnian's words make her sound like a simple-minded fool?

What do you think?

Lu Jingnian was amused by her annoyed expression.

"I'm not."

Jiang Yue gave him a playful glare and drove home again.

...

Lu Yuanming stayed at the old house for one night, and went to the bank early the next morning to withdraw the 100,000 yuan that Qiao Min had asked for, and then went home.

When he got home, Qiao Min was still not up.

Lu Yuanming thought for a moment, then walked towards Qiao Min's bedroom.

They've been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few days. Last night, Lu Yuanming packed his things, and when he leaves, he'll move them to his company dormitory.

"Knock knock knock!"

When Lu Yuanming arrived at the door of Qiao Min's room, he reached out and knocked.

"Qiao Min, I've brought you the money you wanted. Get up quickly, we'll go get the divorce certificate in a bit."

Qiao Min was used to sleeping until almost noon. Since Lu Yuanming usually went to his workplace for breakfast, and Lu Jinglan and his wife didn't live here, she could get up whenever she wanted without anyone bothering her.

Lu Yuanming usually indulged her and never held this kind of thing against her.

Sometimes, when Lu Yuanming has time, he will even make her breakfast before going to work.

"Lu Yuanming, you're not human."

Inside the room, Qiao Min sat on the bed, listening to Lu Yuanming's words outside, and angrily threw her pillow to the ground.

“I have done everything you asked for. Qiao Min, if you want to back out and not divorce me, then don’t expect to get a single penny from me in the future. I will give you the house, and I will live at my workplace. You can forget about ever seeing me again.”

Lu Yuanming is determined to get a divorce this time, and no matter what Qiao Min says, he will not change his mind.

"Bang!"

Qiao Min forcefully opened the door from the inside, glaring angrily at Lu Yuanming with her eyes full of grievance.

"Lu Yuanming, I'll ask you one more time, do you really not regret divorcing me?"

No regrets.

Lu Yuanming answered with a serious expression.

"Fine, I, Qiao Min, am not the kind of person who clings on relentlessly. Since you want a divorce, I'll grant your wish. Give me the money."

Qiao Min reached out her hand, asking Lu Yuanming for money.

Lu Yuanming handed her the money in the bag, saying, "Count it, it's exactly 100,000. I borrowed it from friends and colleagues last night."

He wouldn't tell Qiao Min where the money came from.

Qiao Min is too greedy; she's a bottomless pit. If she knew she had all this money, she would definitely use it all to buy stocks.

As for the remaining money in the savings account, Lu Yuanming would not touch it unless absolutely necessary. If Qiao Min really needed money to save her life in the future, he would use the money for her.

If Qiao Min doesn't need it, he'll leave it to Jing Lan.

Qiao Min carefully counted the money; it was 100,000 yuan, not a penny less.

"I have enough money. Since you want a divorce, then leave."

Qiao Min put the money back in her bedroom. From today onwards, the house was hers, and she wasn't worried about keeping the money at home.

Lu Yuanming was afraid that Qiao Min would change her mind, so when she agreed, he immediately took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau. He had everything prepared, and the divorce certificate was obtained very smoothly.

That evening, Grandpa Lu called the whole family to the old house and announced that his eldest uncle had gotten divorced.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but take a second look at the divorce certificate that Old Madam Lu had taken out.

Having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time she had ever seen a divorce certificate.
