In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 272 After the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to my mother-in-law's house to repay the money.

After the New Year's Eve dinner and the second day of the Lunar New Year when the gods were sent off, more and more people began to gather at Yu Laonian's house. A small portion of them were friends that Yu Laonian had built up over the years with his fellow villagers, but most of them were people who wanted to get to know Yu Dawei, who had now risen in status, so they thought they could also build a better relationship with this car maintenance business owner when they came over.

Who knows, in the future, when my own child has no work, it might be good for them to drive alongside the other person.

Everyone in the village knew that Uncle Jiu's family would offer sacrifices to their ancestors from New Year's Eve to the second day of the Lunar New Year, and they also knew that people who were not of the same clan or surname could not go there casually during this time.

But by the time the three kids arrived, it was already too late. Only three teenagers were left in the house, coaxing little Muyu, who was less than a year old.

I don't know if it's the mother's heartlessness or the father's callousness, but this is the second time they've entrusted a child who's not even a year old to someone else to take care of.

The sweet-as-honey couple, just like last year, pulled the snow sled they had made the previous year to Gouwazi Village in Hanjiagang Township.

That is, Yu Dawei's mother-in-law's house.

There were only two main purposes: first, to see her mother-in-law and bring her some fruit during the Chinese New Year; and second, to pay back the three thousand yuan she owed.

When Yu Dawei bought the mud-brick house in the front yard, he couldn't borrow any money, and his mother was arguing with his wife and refused to contribute a single penny. It was at that time that his mother-in-law heard the news.

She first took a basket of eggs to her mother-in-law to calm her down, and then took out three thousand yuan and asked Yu Dawei to buy the mud-brick house in the front yard of Yujiatun.

Although his mother-in-law was illiterate, her years of life experience and accounting skills allowed her to personally inspect the house that Yu Dawei had chosen.

The mud-brick house was definitely beyond repair. There were three rooms in total. The one on the east side was already dilapidated and would collapse soon, while the one on the west side had a hole in it and was also at risk of collapsing at any time.

The only advantage is that the yard is big, which is equivalent to buying a plot of land for three thousand yuan. My mother-in-law is not one to give money away easily. She knows that this house is worth buying. If the couple really settles down and lives a stable life, they can easily build a large nine-room brick house.

Unfortunately, Yu Dawei had a lot of bad luck in his previous life, and in the end, he still couldn't repay the three thousand yuan owed to his mother-in-law, which became a complete mess.

It wasn't that he couldn't remember or forgot to write it down. He remembered the debt very clearly, but he kept thinking, "I don't have much money on hand right now, so I'll wait and wait."

As a result, he waited until his wife divorced him, his mother-in-law passed away, and then his wife passed away, and he lost all will to repay the money.

At that time, his pain was not that he didn't want to repay the debt, but that he didn't know who to repay it to.

Now, only one year has passed since 1993, and there is still time for everything. Yu Dawei is going to pay back the money he owes the old lady for two lifetimes this year.

And it should be doubled!
He, Yu Dawei, would never let those who genuinely care for him feel disheartened!

"Aren't you cold?" Yu Dawei turned around and glanced at his wife on the sled.

Actually, Yu Dawei wanted to drive there, but this girl insisted that the sled they had worked so hard to make hadn't been used much all year, and she still wanted to ride it this year.

Who is Yu Dawei? He's the world's number one wife-doting maniac! If his wife has any requests, he has to spoil her.

Then it turned into Yu Dawei transforming into an ox or horse, "huffing and puffing" as he pulled a sled in the snow, while a stunningly beautiful woman behind him rested her chin on her hands, gazing longingly at the man's back.

The swirling snowflakes created a beautiful scene between the two, who were the finishing touches in this scene.

At this moment, Han Jingfan was pulled back from her reverie by Yu Dawei's words. Then, she pursed her lips and looked at Yu Dawei with a half-smile, making him feel a little embarrassed.

"Is what you're going to say next?" Han Jingfan suddenly mimicked Yu Dawei's deep voice playfully, "If you're cold, why don't you get off and pull the sled to work up a sweat, and I'll just sit on the sled and freeze?"

After saying that, Han Jingfan, for some reason, started laughing out loud while sitting on the sled.

Yu Dawei: "..."

This girl even dares to joke with him, it's really... he's so pent up he wants to have a snowball fight, what am I going to do!
The medicine from the Fourth Master was too strong; it's all his fault! It was completely beyond my control.

"Hey?! Where are you going?! Why are you dragging it into the field?!"

"It's too cold outside, I'm afraid you'll get cold, so I'll take you to the woodpile to shelter from the wind."

"Then let's not go back to Mom's house!"

"Honey, it's only a little past seven, there's still plenty of time!"

Han Jingfan sat on the sled, puffing out her cheeks. She seemed to have thought of something, and her face, which was already red from the cold, turned even redder with embarrassment.

The journey was neither too long nor too short; after escaping the biting winter winds, the couple continued their journey.

However, magpies would always fly over the two of them, chirping and chattering at them. One of the bolder ones even flew onto the sled and observed the man and woman in front of it as if they were two different species.

Finally, perhaps finding it pointless, it cawed twice and flew away. In Northeast China, whether it was a magpie or a crow, even before they were classified as protected animals, no one dared to mess with either.

The crow was entirely black, and most people in the village dared not touch it for fear of breaking a taboo.

Magpies are naturally harbingers of good news. If you harm a bird that frequently brings you good tidings, the joyous occasion will turn into something else entirely.

So whether it's crows or magpies, they're usually quite carefree in the village. Knowing that humans won't harm them, they're not afraid at all.

"Wife, are you cold?" After walking for a while, Yu Dawei turned around and looked at Han Jingfan again.

"I'm not cold! I'm not cold at all!" Han Jingfan raised her hands, her hands blocking Yu Dawei's still burning gaze.

"Well, alright." Yu Dawei withdrew his gaze, still inwardly blaming Fourth Uncle.

What a disrespectful attitude towards elders! At this age, they're still researching all sorts of nonsensical folk remedies!

What did Boss Liang talk about when they were drinking together last time? It seems they were planning to research an improved version of a folk remedy, or in futuristic terms, Folk Remedy 2.0. Who could stand that!

Next time, he'll definitely beat Lao Liang to it and get his hands on the formula! He'll scout things out for his brother first, and test the effects.

We can't let that disrespectful old man cheat others anymore!
"What are you thinking! I advise you to calm down, we'll be at Mom's house soon." Han Jingfan was truly impressed by him; he could turn a pile of firewood into a makeshift shack in no time.

Then, regardless of whether others could stand it or not, they would crawl inside to block the wind. It wasn't cold anymore, but they were a little uneasy about facing the woodpile in the future.

"Okay. By the way, honey, are you having lunch at Mom's again?" Yu Dawei shifted his attention to the food. He knew that every year around these two days, his mother-in-law's family would definitely slaughter a pig and have all sorts of good wine, dishes, and blood sausage.

Although we have some at home, this stuff is something you can only eat a little of and it will become less of a thing.

"Eat up. It's not easy to come back, so let's eat at our house like last year and then come back." Han Jingfan was still worried about the child. Although Yu Dawei said that this would help the child adapt to weaning earlier, the child was still so young, and she was really afraid that the little guy would cry a lot when he looked for his mother.

In fact, Han Jingfan was overthinking things. At this moment, Xiao Muyu was being amused by Er Yan, Xiao Fang, and Xiao Agui, and had long forgotten where her mother was.

When the two arrived at the father-in-law's house, several children were squatting by the ditch setting off firecrackers. They weren't snap pops or the kind sold in small shops; they were firecrackers that had been taken apart one by one from a string of them. Three boys were leading the way, with three or four girls in tow.

An old 212 was parked at the entrance.

Yu Dawei thought the face looked familiar; it had just been repaired at his repair shop not long ago. "Looks like my older sister and brother-in-law are here."

"It's all because of you." Han Jingfan rolled her eyes at her husband, but the tenderness deep in her eyes remained unchanged.

"Hehe, let's go. It's better to come later, so we don't have to deal with all the hassle." Yu Dawei didn't care at all, pulled the sled open the gate and walked inside.

"Auntie? Uncle, Happy New Year!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, Auntie! Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle!"

The children looked up and saw familiar faces, then called out to the couple.

These children included Han Lizhi, the eldest son of the eldest brother-in-law, as well as the daughter and son of the eldest sister's husband. In addition, there were several other children from the village who played with Han Lizhi every day.

"Happy Chinese New Year! Your face is all red from the cold. Be careful when you set off firecrackers, don't hurt your hands." Yu Dawei kindly reminded him, after all, firecrackers don't discriminate, whether you are a rich person, a big star, or a big internet celebrity, if you are not careful, you can expect to be bandaged up.

The children seemed to have listened, but also seemed not to have listened. In any case, they nodded perfunctorily, so as not to offend their elders.

Yu Dawei smiled and remained silent. "It's my own body. I'll know how painful it is when it gets blown up."

He continued pulling the sled, leading his wife into the yard.

As soon as he entered, he saw that in addition to his brother-in-law's four-wheeled vehicle, there was also a second-hand red Xiali in the yard, but Yu Dawei did not recognize this car.

After all, there are so many cars in the world, and not all of them have been repaired by Fanfan Repair Shop.

"Are all these families so rich now?" Yu Dawei frowned slightly, finding it a bit unbelievable. These days, it seems like not every family is so well-off that they can afford a car.

"Oh my god! Isn't this our son-in-law Xiao Fan?! Mom and Dad, come out quickly, our son-in-law Xiao Fan is here!" A woman with a ponytail came out of the storeroom carrying a bowl of steamed buns, and immediately spotted Han Jingfan and Yu Dawei.

This person was none other than Zhang Fengyi, the wife of Yu Dawei's brother-in-law.

Her hometown is also in Minquan. She has been married into the family for several years. She is about the same height as Han Jingfan, but Yu Dawei remembers that this sister-in-law never eats pork. She says that no matter how pork is cooked, it will always taste bad.
