Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Blood debts must be repaid in blood, it is indeed only right and proper. Old Man Lu thought about it carefully, He Yingying was not particularly good-looking to begin with, if she lost half a hand, her future life would probably be even more difficult.

"Can't you...can't you make it a little less?"

"Or, chop off mine, and use three of my fingers to pay off your father's debts. If that's not enough, six will do."

Xiao Re snorted coldly and glanced at Old Master Lu with obvious disdain.

"Whoever commits the sins must pay the price. What use would I have for your fingers, you old geezer who's about to die?"

"You now have two choices: either raise the money or cut off your finger. If you push me too far, I'll send Lu Yanzheng to jail."

"At that time, I still had the 'confession of adultery' that he signed himself."

Compared to He Yingying's fingers, Old Man Lu cared more about his grandson's future.

Although the Lu family is wealthy and holds a prominent position in their hometown, this is the first time they have produced a regimental commander-level officer in the military.

Even if it means selling everything we own, we can't let our grandson be affected.

"Fine, we'll pay the money. But you have to keep your word. As soon as we've raised the money, you'll divorce Yanzheng immediately."

"Of course! Although I may be a bit of a scoundrel, I'm absolutely trustworthy." Xiao Re couldn't wait for them to raise the money as soon as possible so she could get out of there quickly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanting realized that even if he dug up the Lu family's ancestral graves, he probably wouldn't be able to raise that much money—a full 300,000.

"Grandpa, this...this...this...our family is quite well-off, but we can't possibly afford that much, can we?"

"If all the Lu family's money goes to my elder brother and sister-in-law to pay off their debts, how will I afford to get married in the future?"

Grandpa Lu glared at him with a look of disgust and said irritably.

"What's the rush? You're always slacking off, never doing anything productive, all you do is eat, drink, and have fun. What's the hurry? You can just spend a few dozen yuan to marry a cheap wife later."

Lu Yanting felt very depressed and resentful.

Why does my brother have to pay 300,000 yuan to get a divorce, while I only pay a few dozen yuan to get married and marry a cheap wife?

Isn't he the Lu family's biological son?

Can a cheap wife be pretty?

He's not doing his job properly, but he's not incapable of distinguishing between beauty and ugliness.

He doesn't like those ugly ones.

He likes pretty girls, even if they aren't as pretty as Xiao Re, they still have to be beautiful.

When Lu Yanting turned his head and looked at Xiao Re again, there was no longer any appreciation or amazement. Only the embarrassment of being the younger brother-in-law and the fear of facing the creditor remained.

"Three hundred thousand? Does it have to be paid off in one lump sum?"

Xiao Re smiled and deliberately winked at him, teasing him in a slightly frivolous tone.

"One time isn't enough! You can break it into many sessions, any longer or more is fine, take your time!"

"Your brother and sister-in-law have already paid back over 11 yuan, and they still owe over 18 yuan. Your grandfather just said that your Lu family is a prominent and wealthy family in Chongqing. This amount of money is nothing to you, isn't it?"

That's easy for you to say. 180,000, not 18 yuan. Even if the Lu family is rich, they can't afford to spend that much.

Old Lu blushed deeply, his dark eyes fixed on the floor. Faced with Xiao Re's teasing, he kept his mouth tightly shut, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Xiao Re picked up the string of large rice dumplings that Chen Dabao had brought, pushed it in front of Old Man Lu, and asked with a grin.

"Grandpa, you've come all this way, you must be tired. Have some zongzi, it's delicious!"

Grandpa Lu had been traveling for three days and was indeed exhausted, and his stomach was also a little empty.

These zongzi are freshly steamed, filled with plenty of meat, and the aroma of bamboo leaves wafts out, making them quite tempting.

He initially wanted to refuse firmly, but looking at the brightly colored glutinous rice and meat filling, he couldn't resist.

He pushed it halfway, then shamelessly took another one.

Xiao Re then asked Lu Yanting, "What about you? Do you want to eat?"

"Yes!" Lu Yanting had wanted to eat it for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to take it because Xiao Re hadn't asked.

But the rice dumpling had just been peeled and hadn't even been put into his mouth yet when Xiao Re spoke with a wicked grin.

"Grandpa Lu, Brother-in-law Lu, you must have brought a lot of money with you this time, coming all the way from your hometown? After you've eaten your fill, would you like to help your dear granddaughter-in-law and sister-in-law pay off her debts?"

"Pay it all back as soon as possible, and I'll divorce Lu Yanzheng sooner, so I can make room for your virtuous, gentle, and elegant Miss Yingying!"

The rice dumplings that Grandpa Lu and Lu Yanting had just put into their mouths got stuck in their throats, and they almost choked to death.

This woman's first question was about money. If they had known this rice dumpling was so hot, they would never have dared to eat it.

Old Lu put down the zongzi, slowly pulled out 800 yuan from the deepest layers of his pockets, left and right, and handed it to Xiao Re with a cold face.

"It's all here. Write it down."

It wasn't that Old Master Lu was stingy; he was genuinely broke. After giving He Yingying money time and again, he had already emptied his savings and become a penniless old man.

This 800 yuan was his savings for his funeral.

Xiao Re could see that Old Master Lu was in a difficult situation, and guessed that he was really poor.

He then turned his attention to Lu Yanting.

"Brother-in-law? What about you? Do you want to help your good older brother and sister-in-law?"

"I've heard that the Lu family is known for its unity and brotherhood. You wouldn't be stingy, would you?"

Lu Yanting quickly stuffed the whole zongzi into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I have no money! Don't even think about taking advantage of me!"

He really didn't have any money. Because he was lazy and playful, his family was strict and rarely gave him much pocket money.

He only has two hundred yuan left of his entire fortune. He'd better hide it well. The Lu family is no longer reliable now; all their assets have been dumped on his older brother and He Yingying.

If he doesn't get any smarter and foolishly hand over his secret stash of money, he might not even be able to find an ugly wife in the future.

He doesn't want to be a bachelor.

I'll work harder to earn more money in the future, and I still want to find a beautiful wife.

He couldn't bring himself to cut anything that was too ordinary or looked shabby.

After finishing one zongzi, Lu Yanting found it so delicious that he shamelessly went to get a second one.

Anyway, he has no money. He didn't start the fire, and he didn't owe the debt. Why should he pay for the sins his elder brother and sister-in-law committed?

And he'll be dragged down with her, forced to live a hard life too.

He was a perfectly fine rich young master, with countless girls vying to marry him.

Now, things are really messed up. If I want to marry a beautiful wife in the future, I won't even be able to afford the bride price.

Want to eat zongzi when you have no money? You're dreaming.

Xiao snatched the rice dumpling away, not giving this glutton a chance to eat a third one.

Startled, Old Master Lu quickly clutched his half-eaten zongzi tightly in his hand, fearing that Xiao Re would also snatch it away.

Seeing the old man's possessive manner towards his food, Xiao Re couldn't help but chuckle. Although she wasn't particularly generous, she wouldn't take back a zongzi that had already been bitten.

She tossed the newly received eight hundred yuan, raised her eyebrows, and nonchalantly picked up her small bag.

"Lu Yanzheng, your relatives are here, so you'll have to entertain them yourself. Erni and I are going out to eat."

This woman has absolutely no respect for elders or children. No matter what, they are his grandfather and younger brother. How could she treat them so rudely?

"Didn't I give you all my money? Where am I going to get the money to eat out?"

Xiao Re blinked and smiled at He Yingying.

"Then you can send your sweetheart to dig for wild vegetables. While she's at it, let your grandfather see how hardworking, kind, and thrifty his future granddaughter-in-law is!"

Lu Yanzheng was furious.

He didn't marry a wife; he married a nemesis.

"Xiao Re, give me fifty first. I really have no money left!"
