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

"Take a shower? Now?"

Lu Weiguo took off his coat and handed it to Li Xiulian, then pointed at Zhao Yangyang, implying whether this was appropriate.

"Look at you, so petty. What could Yang Yang possibly be doing peeping?"

Can't she? Judging by her flirtatious look, she probably wants to shower with me!

"Alright," Li Xiulian continued, trying to persuade Lu Weiguo when he remained silent.

"I'll let Yangyang come inside. She can go see the baby. I'll wash you, okay?"

"We wouldn't shower at other times, but you smell a bit today."

Li Xiulian's pleading expression moved Lu Weiguo.

He was well aware that he smelled, the stench of a weasel.

And then there's the smell that lingers everywhere after you fart.

Anyone who has smelled a weasel's fart knows this.

The smell was not only foul, but also spicy!

Yes!

It burns my nose, my throat, and my eyes.

It has a strong aggressive nature.

"Okay, then let's put the curtains on the cabin."

Traditional old-style houses in Northeast China.

A window is usually left above the stove in the kitchen.

This makes it easier for parents to keep an eye on the children while they cook, so they don't cause any trouble.

However, at this moment, he didn't want Zhao Yangyang to see his body.

"Fine, fine, you think you're some kind of hot commodity that anyone can peek at? Yangyang is going to go to university."

A woman who married into the city.

Li Xiulian playfully slapped Lu Weiguo.

Then he went outside and took out the large iron basin that was placed in the shed.

The iron basin is not tall, only about 30 centimeters, and is usually used for bathing children in the family.

However, at this point, Lu Weiguo was able to handle the situation.

Zhao Yangyang entered the room, drew the curtains, and deliberately left a gap.

Behind Li Xiulian's back, he kept making faces at Lu Weiguo.

Seeing this, Lu Weiguo was at a loss.

Out of sight, out of mind; I turned my back and plopped down in the basin of water.

People in this era have good relationships.

You can do a lot of things in a small room.

Women, especially those of this era, are truly adept at taking care of others.

Lu Weiguo was already extremely exhausted.

In addition, there were Li Xiulian's soft, boneless little hands.

Soon, under her wiping, Lu Weiguo fell asleep sitting up.

He slept very soundly.

And I had a very, very long dream.

In my dream, there were weasels cursing my mother, and also Li Xiulian getting into university.

Some of them even got into university, and they are becoming more and more successful.

In short, it was incredibly long and completely consumed his thoughts.

The next day, Officer Liu, led by Wang Defa, found Lu Weiguo's home.

Li Xiulian finally had the heart to wake him up.

"Brother Liu is here. Are you leaving already?"

Lu Weiguo put on a coat, stretched, and walked out of the yard.

A full night's rest left him feeling refreshed.

It was from last night's dream; a shadow keeps lingering in my heart.

"Leave? I want to leave too! But your village is saying that I can't leave now that I want to."

Something strange happened last night. I came to ask if you treat illnesses caused by superstition?

Children from Northeast China should feel the same way.

In Northeast China, illnesses are divided into two types: real illnesses and non-real illnesses.

A real illness is one that can be cured by going to the hospital.

For illnesses caused by spiritual energy defilement, one should invite the household spirit to chant prayers.

When many children in Northeast China develop high fevers, the first thought of their elders is not to take them to the hospital.

Instead, they find a shaman to perform rituals that involve inserting chopsticks into the bowl and standing it upright!

You were burning up and you saw your great-grandmother. She said it was your deceased maternal uncle who came to be with you!

"No way! Brother Liu, you're in this line of work, why would you believe in this?"

Lu Weiguo replied with a smile.

He was fully prepared to go to the police station today.

"Me, believe that? Why would I believe that? Wasn't that what that young master said? He said he'd been possessed by a ghost outside and couldn't bring that thing home."

It will affect his father's promotion and wealth!

Police officer Lao Liu spoke with a look of disdain, then proceeded to recount what had happened the previous night in a very serious manner.

However, what he learned was a completely different version from what actually happened.

What he saw was that the group of people had drunk too much, and the things that the village officials and villagers of Fendou Village were talking about were not respectable.

This frightened Young Master Qian.

The implication was that the village cadre lacked sufficient ideological awareness.

They weren't positioned far enough away, and resorted to crooked and unethical methods.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

This was a completely unexpected bonus!

Whether he was a village cadre or had a leader in his family, he was being watched by a veteran police officer.

That's all I'll be doing for the rest of my life!

"Oh, okay, I'll go find one for you. There happens to be a very famous sorcerer in the next village."

"Okay! Then I'll trouble you. Our people are truly reliable and down-to-earth!"

Old Liu, the police officer, looked at Lu Weiguo with immense satisfaction.

In this chaotic situation, who can be as calm and responsible as Lu Weiguo!

Lu Weiguo was referring to Old Mrs. Chang.

You don't even need to go looking for it yourself.

Give fifty cents to the fake kid next door.

In less than an hour, Lu Baojia brought Old Mrs. Chang over in a wheelbarrow.

"Brother! You really..."

Before Lu Weiguo could finish his greeting, Lu Baojia, with a serious expression, immediately stopped him!

"Say hello to Grandma Chang first!"

"Oh? So you've become an apprentice?" Lu Weiguo asked with a strange expression.

It's a good thing to be able to become an apprentice of Old Mrs. Chang, but be careful not to learn the wrong things.

If we can learn her tricks, we can guarantee Lu Baojia a life of comfort and security.

What one can learn is how to treat illnesses caused by deficiency...

"Grandma Chang, I'm sorry to trouble you with this. It's not my business, it's the government's business."

Lu Weiguo greeted him politely and explained the whole story.

"Hey kid, stop acting all high and mighty! Behave yourself! You're all menacing and have nothing better to say than get away from me."

Old Mrs. Chang looked at Lu Weiguo with disgust!

"What do you mean, 'Wong Tai Sin causing trouble'? I think you're the one who caused this! You reek of Wong Tai Sin's stench, with you around!"

Your village has really suffered a terrible misfortune!

Click!

Lu Weiguo took half a step back and stepped on a vertical cross.

I must say, this old Mrs. Chang is quite capable; she figured it all out.

However, he couldn't admit it!

"Grandma Chang, let's not make a scene. You can't frame an innocent person. This isn't my business, so don't drag me into it."

"Get out of here! If you were as honest and simple as your brother, your Lu family would be incredibly lucky!"

If it weren't for Mrs. Chang's advanced age, she probably would have wanted to kick Lu Weiguo every time she saw him.

They have absolutely no regard for our past relationship!

"Alright, alright, you're right. It's a good thing I'm like this. If two capable people came from my family, our ancestral graves would explode!"

Lu Weiguo made a casual joke.

After all, there aren't any ancestral graves in Northeast China.

They either came from the Northeast and stayed in Shandong.

Either all of our ancestors participated in the War of Resistance against Japan, or their remains are so numerous that it's impossible to tell who is who.

"You little brat! You can't even handle three sentences! You called me here, so what am I supposed to do?"

Mrs. Chang didn't know whether she was guessing or had actually figured something out.

They kept asking Lu Weiguo for his opinion.

Sometimes, Lu Weiguo really wanted to call the police.

However, faced with Mrs. Chang's unfathomable gaze, Lu Weiguo didn't bother to pretend anymore.

He sighed and said.

"Look at it however you want, it's not like you'll die..."
