"It's really troublesome. I don't know what Li Yutong is going to do... No, she is at school and she probably doesn't know anything. I have to find a way to tell her." He Mingliang thought so and planned to find a way to pass the message to Li Yutong at school tomorrow.

At school, Li Yutong had just finished a small test and was sorting out the papers when a classmate from the next class quietly passed her a note, looked at her suspiciously, and left with the same confused look on her face.

Her deskmate Qu Shanshan came up curiously and asked, "What is it?"

Li Yutong shook her head: "I don't know."

The note was simply folded in two. The student who sent the note looked confused, thinking that maybe he had already seen it, so he just folded it in two. If he thought about it, it was just something he opened casually, so he wasn't afraid of being seen by others, right?

Thinking of this, she had already opened it.

There was not a single word on it, but just a rough painting.

——An old man and an old woman, with a machete between them, separating them. The handle of the machete was placed on a big drum. Below the machete, gold coins and houses were circled, and a line was drawn in the middle to separate them. Finally, half of the gold coins and houses were circled, with an arrow pointing to the drum.

"oh--"

Li Yutong understood.

"What does it mean?" Qu Shanshan looked puzzled: "What on earth is this painting about? Do you think you can understand it?"

Li Yutong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I understand now, it couldn't be clearer."

He Mingliang was really smart. He knew that if a boy like him passed a note to her, people would misunderstand him, so he simply drew a picture with homophonic meaning. Others might not understand it, but she would definitely understand it.

The big drum is her aunt, Li Hongyan.

Gold coins and houses are money.

A machete separated the old man and the old woman, which means divorce.

It seems that I still have to apply for a school pass like Shen Jiaze.

At that time, the school management was not strict. Students living in the county town basically came in the morning and left in the evening. After evening self-study, some would be picked up by their families, while others would leave by themselves.

Shen Jiaze and He Zixuan went home together after evening self-study.

Li Yutong's teachers had basically no concerns about her studies. When they heard that she needed to apply for a pass, the teacher understood the situation. They knew that her family opened a small restaurant on Renmin Street and bought a house in a staff quarters not far from No. 1 Middle School, where she lived with her grandmother and aunt.

Li Yutong got the pass and prepared to go back to sleep that night.

She left her bed in the dormitory for other students in need. She packed up her bedding and was bundling it in the carport.

A puzzled voice sounded: "Li Yutong, what are you doing?"

Li Yutong looked up and saw He Zixuan, who was walking over curiously, under the dim light of the carport. Not far away, among the crowd of people pushing their bicycles and preparing to leave, He Zixuan was approaching.

Li Yutong smiled and said, "I will go back home to live in the future."

"Is there something wrong at home?" He Zixuan said, and then she looked at Shen Jiaze who was walking over, looking at her quietly with his clear and dark eyes.

Li Yutong felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, but she still had to thank them for their concern.

"It's nothing. I'll go home and ask, and then I'll know."

She doesn't know the specific situation yet.

"We'll take you back." Shen Jiaze said, his tone a little stiff.

Li Yutong wanted to shake her head, but He Zixuan kept winking at her, so she had no choice but to agree: "Well, okay, thank you."

Three people rode bicycles home. In order to take care of the students who were studying in the evening, the street lights along the way were on at this time in the county town.

Li Yutong was sent to the iron gate of the family compound. After nine o'clock, the gatekeeper would lock it from the inside with an iron chain.

There are still ten minutes left.

While saying goodbye, Shen Jiaze asked, "I heard that He Mingliang sent you a letter at noon. Are those people here to collect the debt again?"

Li Yutong looked at him in surprise: "You are not..."

After thinking about it, it's impossible. Shen Jiaze is not that kind of person.

He Zixuan deliberately stepped a few steps away, but he listened to the noise here. As soon as he heard it, he hurried over to explain: "Hey Li Yutong, please don't wrongly accuse my brother. My brother didn't send anyone to watch you. It was the person who saw He Mingliang handing the note, so he ran to my brother to tell him."

Li Yutong nodded: "I know."

Shen Jiaze has a handsome appearance, a good family background, is a good student, and speaks fluent English and German, which easily makes him the most popular student in the school. Even the principal smiles when he sees him as if he has seen his own grandson.

Having the opportunity to talk to Shen Jiaze was something that everyone envied. She was not surprised that he knew about He Mingliang passing the note.

She looked at Shen Jiaze: "I know you are not that kind of person. Really, I am very grateful to have a good friend like you who cares about me."

good friend……

Shen Jiaze was silent for a while.

Li Yutong added: "My grandfather is an egoist. My eldest aunt's bloodline is completely inherited from my grandfather. My grandfather and my grandmother filed for divorce. It was my eldest aunt's idea."

"Divorce?" He Zixuan was dumbfounded. Usually, when old men and women divorce, it is mostly because the rich old man finds a lover who is younger than him, so he wants to divorce the old wife.

Li Yutong's grandfather got divorced. Did he take the wrong medicine?

It's not that he looks down on her grandfather. Her grandfather is just an ordinary old man who farms in the countryside. He has no pension, no house, and nothing. How can he find another old lady to serve him?

"It's probably fake. My grandfather is a face-conscious person and he does it mainly for money." Li Yutong said bluntly.

"He Mingliang reported that my grandfather wanted to divorce my grandmother and divide their property."

When these words were spoken, not only He Zixuan but also Shen Jiaze were stunned.

What to allocate.

Li Yutong's grandmother opened a small restaurant. Isn't it her grandmother who decides how much money to make? Then she will say that it is a loss. What evidence can he have to prove that her grandmother is making money? How much did she make?

He Zixuan couldn't help but say this, and Li Yutong smiled helplessly: "You underestimate my grandfather. My grandfather is a combination of selfishness, confusion and paranoia. Whatever he decides is what it is."

When she said this, the two of them understood. That was how much money her grandfather thought her grandmother made, so that must be how much money she made. Even if you told him that it was not that much and presented the evidence to him, he would not even look at it and thought that it was all a lie.

As the saying goes, he is the kind of person who won't shed tears until he is in his coffin.

He Zixuan didn't know what to do, and Shen Jiaze couldn't help but frown.

"It's getting late. I should go back. I can also ask my grandma what she thinks." Li Yutong smiled and waved to them: "Go home early and be careful on the road."

Watching Li Yutong turn around and enter the family compound.

Shen Jiaze and He Zixuan pushed their bicycles back.

He Zixuan admired Li Yutong very much: "I found that no matter how big the problem was, Li Yutong never panicked or got scared. This is a bit like you."
