Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

Chapter 30 One person pays 50,000

Jiang Yang swallowed the braised pork in his mouth and readily agreed, "No problem, Sister Yang, I've got it covered!"

He was about to discuss the price when Yang Fen preemptively said, "Brother Jiang Yang, don't worry about the price! I'll give you half of the money we got from Xu Tianyi and the other two! After all, it was your idea!"

She waved her hand generously, "The cost of the clothing is separate!"

Jiang Yang was overjoyed.

Although he has some money now, he has basically invested it all in the construction of the clothing store, and he doesn't have much money available for use.

The trouble caused by Xu Tianyi and his two companions was a godsend for him!

Jiang Yang remained outwardly calm, simply saying modestly, "Sister Yang, I can't accept this..."

Yang Fen interrupted him: "Don't be so polite! You deserve it!"

Li Wen asked curiously, "Jiang Yang, how much money are you planning to ask them for?"

Jiang Yang put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Three families, at least 50,000 each! Otherwise, if we don't reach a settlement, they'll all be in jail!"

Fifty thousand dollars in 1979 was equivalent to five hundred thousand dollars in the previous life!

"Fifty thousand? That many?" Li Wen's eyebrows furrowed in disbelief when she heard the number.

Jiang Yang smiled slightly, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork, and savored it carefully before slowly saying, "Wen, you don't understand. These businessmen care about face the most. Think about it, they have so many relatives and neighbors. If someone in their family has a criminal record, how can they hold their heads high in the future? They'll be talked about behind their backs, and their spittle will drown them!"

Li Wen was still a little worried: "That's true, but 50,000 yuan is no small amount. Will they really agree to give that much money? What if they try to negotiate?"

Jiang Yang put down his chopsticks and smiled confidently, "You only haggle in business! Xu Tianyi and his two families are all well-known businessmen in the county. Would they just stand by and watch their children go to jail and their businesses face bankruptcy?"

"Even if we can't reach an agreement, we still have Sister Yang Fen as our trump card! She can use this incident as an excuse to stop cooperating with them. They know better than anyone that it's a fool not to make money when it's available!"

Li Wen suddenly realized, her eyes shining with admiration.

Jiang Yang's mind is truly brilliant! He plans every step meticulously.

Yang Fen heard it clearly, and she excitedly slammed her hand on the table, saying heartily, "Brother Jiang Yang, from now on I'll do business with you. Wherever you point, I'll go!"

"Sister Yang, you're exaggerating. We're just doing something mutually beneficial, a win-win cooperation!"

Yang Fen had already made up her mind to cling tightly to Jiang Yang.

This young man has a limitless future!

After a burst of laughter and chatter, the three of them had almost finished eating.

"It's getting late, let's call it a day," Jiang Yang suggested, glancing at his watch.

“Okay, then we’ll wait for the police station’s notification tomorrow.” Li Wen also stood up.

Yang Fen warmly escorted the two to the restaurant entrance and expressed her gratitude once again.

……

Xu Tian's family.

"Hey, you guys, that kid's cowardly behavior just now was hilarious!" Xu Tianyi said smugly to Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi, crossing his legs.

Zhang Hao immediately chimed in obsequiously, "That's right, Brother Tianyi, that kick of yours knocked him down! He probably can't get up yet!"

As he spoke, he exaggeratedly imitated Xu Tianyi's kicking motion, which made Xu Tianyi burst into laughter.

Cheng Yi, not to be outdone, winked and said, "Those punches I threw just now made him scream like a pig being slaughtered! It was so satisfying!"

Xu Tianyi took another swig of wine, squinting as he savored his "heroic deeds": "With that little body of his, he thinks he can fight us? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror!"

Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi nodded repeatedly, praising Xu Tianyi's abilities.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the door was kicked open. Several people in police uniforms rushed in and, without saying a word, pinned Xu Tianyi and the other two to the ground.

Xu Tianyi and the other two were stunned. Before they could react, they were pinned to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Xu Tianyi struggled and shouted, "Why are you arresting me?"

"Stay still!" a policeman shouted sternly. "Don't move!"

Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi also joined in the shouting: "We didn't do anything!"

"We'll talk about it at the station!" the policeman scoffed. "Take them away!"

Xu Tianyi and the other two continued to protest their innocence, but the police ignored them and dragged them out of the room.

As the police escorted them away, Xu Tianyi and the other two continued to struggle, repeatedly shouting "Innocent!"

The neighbors all came out and stood at their doorsteps, pointing and whispering about the three people being escorted away.

"See? I told you these kids were bound to get into trouble sooner or later!" An old man in a vest, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, spitting as he spoke. "They idled away their days doing nothing productive, and now look what happened, they've finally met their match!"

“That’s right,” a woman holding a child interjected. “I heard that this afternoon someone harassed the daughter of the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. The little girl was so scared that she cried. What a terrible thing!”

"And there's more," another middle-aged woman whispered mysteriously. "I heard they beat up a student who just finished the college entrance exam. They were really ruthless; that kid is still in the hospital!"

"Serves him right, he really deserves it!" Several cheers erupted from the crowd.

Xu Tianyi felt his face burning with embarrassment as he listened to the surrounding discussions.

Police cars sped up and stopped in front of Xu Tian's house.

Xu Tianyi and the other two were shoved into a police car, and the door slammed shut.

……

Jiang Yang's home.

"Yangyang, why are you so late? The food's all cold." Lin Xiulan came out of the kitchen to greet him when she heard the door open. Seeing Jiang Yang covered in dirt and with scrapes on his body, she immediately felt sorry for him. "What happened? Did you get into a fight?"

Jiang Dashan put down his pipe, his brows furrowed: "What a disgrace! So young and already getting into fights instead of learning good things!"

He was both anxious and angry.

This child from Yangjiang was smart and did well in school from a young age, so how did he go astray?

"Honey, shut up! Check if our son is alright!" Lin Xiulan glared at Jiang Dashan and quickly pulled Jiang Yang to sit down in a chair. "Yangyang, does it hurt? Let Mom take a look."

Jiang Yang felt a warmth in his heart.

"Mom, I'm fine. I went to the hospital and it's just a minor scratch."

He smiled and comforted his mother, then turned to his father and explained, "Dad, don't think of me as a bad kid. I'm a good kid who can get into a prestigious university. I was just standing up for someone and got beaten up."

Jiang Dashan was skeptical: "Standing up for the wronged? Who did it?"
