On the table were not only porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and shumai, but also scallion pancakes, several steamed buns, a bowl of rice, and two stir-fried dishes.

"Honey, what would you like to eat?"

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Yue with a smile.

"I'll have a shumai, a scallion pancake, and some rice."

As soon as Jiang Yue finished speaking, all these items were placed in front of her.

Jiang Yue picked up her chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.

Perhaps because Lu Yu was home, she ate a little more for breakfast than usual this morning.

After dinner, Lu Yu took Jiang Yue to the county.

Lu Yu found Jiang Yue a seat by the window.

Now that the weather is gradually warming up, Jiang Yue is only wearing a thick coat and a sweater.

The outside world is all green, full of vitality.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Jiang Yue felt even better.

Upon arriving in the county, Lu Yu first took Jiang Yue to the Public Security Bureau.

Xu Yi saw Lu Yu and Jiang Yue and walked over with a smile.

"Brother Lu and Sister-in-law Lu."

Lu Yu held Jiang Yue's hand and nodded to Xu Yi.

"How's the interrogation of Zhang Hao going?"

Xu Yi responded to Lu Yu's words.

"He denies everything; he's stubborn. His subordinate did confess to some things, but none of them will punish Zhang Hao..."

Upon hearing Xu Yi's words, Lu Yu snorted coldly and said...

"He does have some methods. You can try other approaches. If those men who confessed know that Zhang Hao has also been arrested, and they report them, their sentences could be reduced..."

"That's exactly what I was planning to do, and I've already sent people to interrogate them."

After talking with Xu Yi for a while, Lu Yu took Jiang Yue to the city by car.

Grandma Xie and her children have been trying to come up with a solution these past few days. They even considered contacting Qi Laoda and his group to threaten and scare Jiang Yue away.

But she couldn't bear to spend a lot of money; today the whole family was voting.

“One thousand dollars. Raise your hand if you agree.”

Grandma Xie spoke first.

"Mom, I disagree. This house is very valuable, but if we give away this thousand yuan, are we sure we can get the house back?"

"The second daughter-in-law of the Xie family said unhappily."

If they can't get the house back, they'll lose everything.

It would be better to distribute this thousand yuan among the families.

The mother-in-law has a lot of money hidden away. They haven't had a good life these past few years, but the mother-in-law is unwilling to give it up.

The second son's wife disagreed, and the third son's wife also disagreed.

The Xie family's sons frowned.

The house they live in now is an old bungalow. Although it has been renovated, it is far inferior to a small villa. If they could get this house, each of their families would have a large room and live in a small villa. How enviable that would be!

The Xie family discussed the matter but failed to reach an agreement.

Old Mrs. Xie was furious.

After everyone returned home, they saw Zhang Shan busy at work, and Old Lady Xie angrily yelled at him.

"How come you can't even clean the floor properly? What good are you? Your grandma would rather sell the house than leave it to you. Your mother is dead, and now she's leaving you to us—you're just a burden..."

Zhang Shan listened to his grandmother's words expressionlessly. He used to feel sad and upset, but now he was used to it.

He was too young to understand and thought that his grandmother had really killed his mother. Only later did he realize that his mother had not only betrayed his father but also eloped with a man, leaving him with his grandmother.
