Lu Yang immediately asked, "Is Cheng Yaozu harassing you?"
Yao Lili's face immediately darkened: "That scoundrel told my dad he wanted to marry me, it disgusts me to death."
Lu Yang said angrily, "If they want to force the issue, you'll definitely fall into their trap!"
Yao Lili shuddered, her eyes flashing with fear and helplessness: "That scoundrel is truly shameless."
Lu Yang said earnestly, "Don't be afraid, I will help you."
“I’ll go to the county to see if there are any job openings. You go out to work, and no matter what excuse they give you, don’t come back.”
Yao Lili asked nervously, "Can I do it?"
"Why not?" Lu Yang smiled and patted her hair. "You're good-looking and have a good personality, you'll definitely be fine."
"Besides, this is just a transition. Neither your father nor Cheng Yaozu will let it go. We need to find a chance to make Cheng Yaozu suffer a great loss!"
A smile flashed in Yao Lili's eyes, and she said decisively, "If I can make money in the county, I'll treat you to dinner."
"You don't have much food left, so I won't be eating here. I'll just tell Aunt Tian I'm going back."
"Be careful on the road." Lu Yang kept his eyes on Xu Lili until she disappeared from sight before hurriedly returning to the gatehouse.
That night, the family of four squatted on the ground by the moonlight, eating cornbread and pickled vegetables, and none of them felt that this kind of life was bad.
If the family hadn't separated, Lu Yang would already be out carrying bricks, Lu's mother and Lu Yue would be busy feeding the pigs, doing laundry, cooking, and washing dishes, and Lu Xing would have to cut pig feed and feed the chickens and ducks.
The key point is that the four of them did all the work, but they didn't get any benefits at all.
"Yangzi, your Aunt Dafeng's family needs a shepherd, would you like to go?"
Lu's mother worriedly began to plan: "If I take Xingxing and Yue'er to help people with farm work, we can manage to make ends meet."
Lu Yang had already planned it out and said with a smile, "How much money can I earn doing manual labor for others? Tomorrow I'll go to the county to set up a stall and make money."
"I need to save up the money I earn in these two months to pay their tuition."
Lu's mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
It was almost midnight when, taking advantage of Lu Xing and Lu Yue being asleep, Lu's mother moved closer to Lu Yang.
"Yangzi, it's a bit difficult to send two children to school. Why don't you stop Yue'er from going to school?"
"Finding her a good family to marry into in the future is more important than anything else."
Lu Yang sighed helplessly: "I can afford to support them both. Yue'er's grades are better than Xingxing's. As long as she is willing to study, I will continue to support her."
"Moreover, I have no intention of giving up my studies. I will take the exam again next year and try to get into a better school than Shanghai University."
