Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Alright, alright, you two are such a loving couple, I was just being nosy."

However, Xiulian, let me tell you, some people can pretend their whole lives, but they can't keep up the act forever. We're all educated people,

You understand this principle, so I won't say anything more. It's getting late, so I'll head back now.

Zhao Yangyang looked at Lu Weiguo with ill intent.

Before leaving, he said meaningfully, "Wei Guo, if you go gambling again, I'll still be watching you. But if you try anything outrageous, I won't stop you anymore!"

In Li Xiulian's ears, Zhao Yangyang was angry with her and her husband.

But Lu Weiguo knew that this was nothing short of blatant seduction.

Something excessive?

What's so outrageous!

Besides sex, what could be more outrageous than that?

Faced with such a shameless woman, Lu Weiguo felt a sense of powerlessness.

The rice smelled delicious, and there were eggs that the wife had borrowed from somewhere.

The two little rascals ate until their mouths were greasy.

The unpleasant feeling from just moments ago vanished amidst the children's laughter and joy.

A child's smile is always the best light to dispel gloom.

After washing the rice grains off the child's cheeks and brushing their teeth, neither of them mentioned Zhang Dexing's name again, much to their mutual understanding.

However, in the dim firelight, Liu Xiulian's red cloth bag was faintly visible under her white shirt.

Lu Weiguo could no longer suppress the itch in his heart.

He grabbed Li Xiulian from behind and hugged her as she was clearing the dishes.

"Stop it, the child isn't asleep yet."

Li Xiulian did not resist. She turned around, looked at Lu Weiguo's reddened eyes, and gently comforted him.

"No, can I hold you for a while? I haven't held you properly in so long."

Lu Weiguo's scorching breath continued to burn Li Xiulian's thoughts.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes repeatedly tried to avoid Lu Weiguo.

It might be because Zhao Yangyang mentioned Zhang Dexing's name.

This made Li Xiulian feel a little guilty.

This time, her gaze did not falter; she raised her eyes and met Lu Weiguo's gaze.

Looking at that delicate face with a hint of high altitude blush, Lu Weiguo hardened his heart and pressed his lips to hers.

Scorching, insane.

Old married couples don't engage in the kind of tentative testing that young lovers do.

Only by forging ahead without any regard for anything else!

At this moment, even breathing seemed like a luxury.

Their hearts were pressed tightly together, and Lu Weiguo's strong and powerful arms seemed to press Li Xiulian into his body.

"Little sister, don't go over there, Mom and Dad are busy."

Although Lu Jiacheng tried his best to suppress his voice.

But the two still separated as if they had been electrocuted!

"You're mean, I'm never talking to you again!"

Li Xiulian, unusually shy, hurriedly went into the house, picked up the two children, and tightly closed the door.

"So soft, so sweet."

Lu Weiguo recalled the feeling from just now and subconsciously touched the corner of his lips.

"He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety." Lu Weiguo saw the changes in his wife and knew that he still couldn't rush things.

Anyone with two children knows this.

Putting two children to sleep at night is definitely not an easy task.

The older one fell asleep, but the younger one made a fuss, and then the older one woke up again.

More than an hour later, Liu Xiulian straightened her clothes and came out of the house.

Lu Weiguo had finished cleaning up the kitchen and placed the remaining seven yuan on the table.

"Honey, here's the money left over after we bought everything. Take it."

Seeing the money on the table, Li Xiulian's fatigue vanished instantly, a result of the past year or so.

Lu Weiguo knew to take things from home.

The first time she saw money that had been returned to her, she was more shocked than moved.

However, remembering Lu Weiguo's past misdeeds, he grabbed the seven yuan in his hand.

They were stuffed into the inside pocket of their pants before they could even count them.

Seeing this, Lu Weiguo continued, "While the supply and marketing cooperative is still buying mushrooms, I'll go up the mountain more often these next few days. You don't need to go to the fields; stay home and help dry the mushrooms."

Please look after the children while you're at it.

Also, that window needs fixing sooner or later. This time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative without an industrial ration coupon, so I couldn't buy glass.

I need your help with this; see if I can borrow something from your parents.

But don't worry! This isn't asking, it's buying! We'll pay whatever it costs.

He knew that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were his wife's bottom line.

But it's getting colder and colder now. The temperature hasn't dropped below zero yet, so the paper windows can still keep out the wind and rain.

But once winter comes, a few newspapers alone are simply not enough to keep out the wind and cold.

As the reform and opening up approached, the county government cracked down harder and harder on the black market and private transactions.

This is similar to the darkness before dawn.

Buying an industrial ticket for a window isn't as easy as people think; you can't just buy it anywhere.

The demand for that thing was almost as high as that for women in later generations who didn't ask for a dowry.

"I haven't been back to my parents' home in so long, I wonder if they're still there~"

Li Xiulian didn't show much resistance upon hearing this.

After all, real food supplies are more reliable than any promises made by Lu Weiguo.

Moreover, based on the black market prices of the past, seven dollars was more than enough to buy an industrial ticket.

"Hmm? That's true. If you want, you can take the kids back to your parents' house for a few days while you're free."

"It just so happens that I'll be going to the county town to sell my mountain produce; I can take you there."

"Are you finally giving in to your pretense?! You sent me back to my parents' house, but you're going to gamble again!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiulian stood up abruptly, her anger instantly flaring up!

Especially when I recall what Zhao Yangyang said.

His whole body even began to tremble uncontrollably.

You see, the best way to torment someone is to keep showing them a glimmer of hope, only to drag them back into the abyss.

Li Xiulian, who had just witnessed Lu Weiguo's change, was now even more furious than before.

"No! I really didn't mean that!" Lu Weiguo realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "Honey, I really won't gamble again. Please don't believe what Zhao Yangyang said."

I can report to you every day. If I go gambling again, I'm as good as dead!

"I could never have given birth to someone as wicked as you."

Seeing Lu Weiguo's clumsy appearance, Li Xiulian laughed and scolded him, but the sincerity in Lu Weiguo's flustered expression softened her heart again.

"I miss my parents too. I can go back to my parents' house, but I want to take that malted milk powder with me."

The fine grains were precious, and she wanted to take them with her, fearing that Lu Weiguo would sell them for gambling again.

She also felt sorry for her husband who was home alone without food.

"No problem. Bring extra grains with you too. Your husband won't go hungry at home. The whole mountain is full of treasures, just waiting for your husband to go and get them."

"Pfft~" Li Xiulian covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Look at how capable you are, I really don't know when you developed the skill of driving mountains."

"Your husband has a lot of skills, you see, I hadn't even finished hugging you before I was..."

When Lu Weiguo saw his wife's shy appearance, his heart was beating as fast as a V8 engine in a sports car.

Even if his mind is full of thoughts he has to suppress.

But how could one's thoughts control the surging blood?

The ancients were right: men are all driven by their lower instincts!

"Stop it, the child just fell asleep, and besides..."

Liu Xiulian stood up at the doorway. "Besides, I'm not feeling well today, I'll be fine in a couple of days."
