Liu Yan's words made Wu Tian frown.
To threaten a woman with murder, such a man was truly scum!
He said seriously, "Sister Liu Yan, I know you're scared, but this can't go on."
"I got rid of those people today, but more will come to collect debts tomorrow and the day after."
"With constant chaos at home, what's the point of living like this?"
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Liu Yan, just go ahead and get divorced. I'll protect you."
"If your man dares to cause trouble for you, I'll definitely beat him until he can't take care of himself!"
"You?" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then remembered what happened that afternoon.
Those thugs who had been causing trouble in the county were all submissive in front of Wu Tian.
Didn't this mean that Wu Tian really had the ability to protect her?
Thinking of this, an impulse surged within Liu Yan.
She had wanted to escape this life for a long time.
If heaven gave her a chance, who would want to suffer every day?
Her eyes trembled slightly, and she said with anticipation, "Wu Tian, are you telling the truth?"
"Can I... can I really get divorced?"
Wu Tian nodded firmly, "Yes, Sister Liu Yan, trust me. As long as you go through with it, I'll be your strongest support!"
Liu Yan could no longer suppress the impulse.
Her gaze also became firm, and she nodded, saying, "Alright then, Wu Tian, I'll apply for a divorce tomorrow."
"I've had enough of this life. No matter what, I must get rid of that scoundrel!"
Seeing that Liu Yan had finally made up her mind, Wu Tian also breathed a sigh of relief.
Many times, in a marriage, women were the pitiable party.
Despite suffering torment and grievances, they could only endure passively, lacking the courage to resist.
Why think so much? People should live for themselves. If they worry too much, how can they be happy?
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Sister Liu Yan, I'm very happy that you can think this way. It means my trip here wasn't in vain."
"What are your plans now? This house seems to belong to your husband. Are you planning to go back to your parents' home?"
Liu Yan shook her head, "No, since I've decided to be self-reliant, I won't go back to my parents' home to live off them."
"I want to go out and work, and then come back to start a small business."
"Working again..." Wu Tian couldn't help but ponder.
Earlier, Sister Bai Xue had the same idea, and he disagreed, instead investing in Bai Xue to open a nail salon.
And now Liu Yan said the same thing...
He wondered if he should help Liu Yan as well, and as he thought, his gaze swept across the room.
Suddenly, his gaze became serious.
In his eyes, only a Buddha statue placed on the table remained.
He stood up, walked to the table, and then asked hesitantly, "Sister Liu Yan, where did you get this thing?"
Liu Yan was slightly stunned, then replied, "This Buddha statue has been in our home for several years. I bought it at a flea market back then."
Wu Tian carefully examined the Buddha statue for two more glances, then exclaimed, "Sister Liu Yan, to be honest, you're about to strike it rich!"
"Strike it rich?" Liu Yan was stunned again. "What riches?"
Wu Tian pointed at the Buddha statue and smiled, "Sister Liu Yan, this thing is valuable."
"Don't let its ordinary appearance fool you. It's actually an antique from the Tang Dynasty. I estimate it can be sold for at least a million!"
"A million?!" Liu Yan felt completely dazed.
She stood up shakily, her face full of disbelief, and said, "How can this thing be worth a million?"
"Wu Tian, you're not joking, are you!"
Wu Tian continued to smile, "Why would I joke about something like this? I'm not lying to you, this Buddha statue is truly an antique."
Liu Yan was already stunned. This news was too shocking. She didn't know whether to believe Wu Tian or not.
Seeing Liu Yan's stunned expression, Wu Tian understood her reaction.
He then thought that even if he gave this antique to Liu Yan, with her capabilities, she probably wouldn't be able to sell it.
Moreover, the antique market was a mixed bag, and Liu Yan might even be cheated.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian said, "How about this? No matter how much this Buddha statue sells for, I'll give you a million, how about that?"
"What did you say?!" Liu Yan's body trembled, her eyes almost popping out.
Wu Tian explained, "It's like this, because I'm worried you won't be able to sell it, why don't you let me buy it?"
"If it sells for more, I'll give you the difference, but if it sells for less, I'll bear the difference myself."
Liu Yan couldn't recover for a long time. She said blankly, "Can... can this really be done?"
"What's not to say," Wu Tian smiled, then took out a bank card from his pocket.
"This card has exactly one million. The password is eight eights. You can take it first."
Holding the light bank card, Liu Yan felt it was heavy, almost too heavy to hold.
Her eyes reddened as she said, "Wu Tian, you're too good to me. I... I don't know how to repay you."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Sister Liu Yan, you're being too formal saying that. We're neighbors, there's no need for repayment."
He picked up the Buddha statue, "I'll take this Buddha statue."
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, take it. If this thing is really valuable, don't mention the difference. The rest is all yours, I don't want it."
Wu Tian looked at the Buddha statue in his hand, feeling like he had gotten a great deal.
Afterward, Wu Tian chatted with Liu Yan for a while, briefly discussing future plans, and then went home with the Buddha statue.
Wu Tian wasn't in a hurry to deal with the Buddha statue. He casually placed it on the table.
He wasn't short of money anyway, so selling it sooner or later made no difference.
The next day at noon, after finishing lunch, Wu Tian, feeling bored, moved his rocking chair out and basked in the sun in the yard.
The sunlight was quite good today, just the right intensity, with a gentle breeze in the air.
Wu Tian felt very comfortable and fell asleep unconsciously.
He had a very strange dream. He couldn't quite recall what he dreamed about, but he seemed to hear many people talking in his dream.
He didn't know what they were saying, but he could vaguely hear words like "spiritual energy," "cultivation," and "sects." In short, it felt very hazy.
Just as Wu Tian was puzzled by such a dream, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
He opened his eyes, and a beautiful face appeared in his vision.
