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

Little mouths aren't just for tasting...

I stayed on the mountain for four or five days.

When Lu Weiguo returned home, he did nothing but eat and sleep.

Having money in your pocket means you won't panic.

After Yuan Mengjie personally delivered the first batch of materials.

The house was a mess, filled with aunties lining up to receive handicrafts.

Everyone must register and file a record.

According to the rules, a grain ration book or a certificate issued by the brigade must be used as collateral in exchange for the materials.

However, Lu Weiguo waved his hand and that was that.

We're all neighbors, there's no need to be overly formal about some things.

However, the acceptance process must be strictly controlled, as everyone is trying to make money for themselves.

No one is frivolous.

However, the villagers watched the lively scene.

He was curious why Zhang Dexing and his gang had been so quiet lately.

"Xiulian, has your old classmate come to see you recently?"

Lu Weiguo was holding two children, while Li Xiulian was leading two small purple-haired animals.

Wandering around the village.

They both like quiet.

It was already the limit to let Liu Dazhuang's family move in.

I'm really not used to this kind of liveliness now.

"You mean Zhang Dexing? No, I heard he went home recently because of some family matters."

Only Wang Defa remained at the village branch committee. There wasn't much work to do in winter, and the women's director and the others were all staying home for the winter.

Something happened at home?

Could it be that the thing he mentioned to Zhao Kaishan?

Lu Weiguo suddenly remembered that he had mentioned Zhang Dexing to Zhao Kaishan that day.

It's unclear whether Zhao Kaishan investigated his background.

They can arrange for cars to be driven without authorization.

They can even arrange jobs for someone of Zhang Dexing's caliber, allowing him to jump from a state-owned factory to the government.

He couldn't immediately guess how powerful the person behind this was.

"By the way, Yang Yang just left a few days ago. She said she needs you to go see her for something. Do you have time to go?"

Lu Weiguo didn't even agree when he heard this.

Old Mrs. Chang's place has a rat infestation.

My older brother said there was something going on at home, but he asked Liu Yuqin about it a few days ago.

My sister-in-law just wanted to get some pine nut oil to help with her health.

That same day, he had Liu Yuqin take a jar of pine nut oil to his sister-in-law.

As for Zhao Yangyang, Lu Weiguo simply chose to forget about him.

There's still a house to build at home, and that mess with the Zhao family.

His mind is a mess right now, he wouldn't pay any attention to that big-breasted girl.

"Honey, don't treat Yang Yang like that. We wouldn't be together without her; she's practically our matchmaker."

Everyone says you should prepare shoes for the matchmaker, but we didn't prepare any.

Li Xiulian only thought about Zhao Yangyang's good points, but she had just finished speaking.

A little sable being led by a rope.

It seems I can smell a strange odor in the air.

With a twist of his neck, he broke free of the rope and darted out.

"Dad! Put me down! I want to go catch mice with the sable!!"

As soon as Jia Cheng saw the sable playing, he couldn't stay still any longer.

Three- or four-year-old boys are at the mischievous age.

Lu Weiguo put it down, and it darted into the ground in a flash.

"Jiahuan, let's not be like your brother, okay? He's too naughty. By the way, honey, do we have mice around here too?"

Looking at his son's mischievous antics, Lu Weiguo casually asked...

"Hmm, quite a few. Many families have had their grain eaten by mice, but we're the only ones with these two little things."

They catch two every morning, as if they want to share their food with us.

It startled me on the first day, but after I dealt with it a few times, it stopped bringing it back.

"I haven't had to feed them lately, so they've definitely been eating a lot at night."

Lu Weiguo nodded upon hearing this.

The rat infestation was only in Old Mrs. Chang's village.

It might be a problem with the village.

But if there are rats in the nearby villages.

That means something happened in the mountains.

Animals are actually quite similar to humans; they also have a hierarchy.

The deep mountains are mostly inhabited by wild beasts that mark their territory and fight each other.

Next are small animals like foxes and weasels from the foothills.

The last one is the rat.

When animals from deep in the mountains venture out, they drive away other smaller animals layer by layer.

Only at the very end were the mountain rats forced to come down the mountain.

Animals aren't stupid.

Which animal isn't afraid of a two-legged creature that can stand on two legs?

"Damn it, we still have to go up the mountain to get some wolf pelts, burn them, and scatter them all over our village."

Lu Weiguo didn't care about the situation in the mountains; protecting the village was his priority.

His main concern is protecting his wife and children at home.

He didn't want his wife and children to be bitten by wild rats.

"No swearing! It'll set a bad example for the children!"

Li Xiulian playfully slapped him.

A family of four, eating three meals a day, four seasons a year, and consuming grains and cereals.

With such good health, who could outlive him!

. . . . .

the other side.

Money makes you rich.

The news also reached the ears of Zhao Kaishan and Qian Yunshan.

One was shocked, the other was furious.

The Zhao family.

Zhao Kaishan's expression was gloomy and uncertain. After waiting for a long time, he finally asked.

"You really didn't kill him, and Qian Duolai framed you? Anyway, Qian Duolai is dead, so there's no way to prove it, right?"

"No, Dad! They're checking the guns and bullets. Otherwise, why would Qian Duolai be so scared that he killed that young policeman?"

Zhang Benmo hurriedly explained.

"Really?! Then why are you running away?! Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?!"

"I..." Zhang Benmo fell silent at this point.

It's still the same; I still don't trust him.

He was ultimately a victim of the Zhao family.

A son-in-law is always an outsider.

If only his father-in-law had supported him even once, he wouldn't just be a technician!

Given his father-in-law's tendency to nitpick at him whenever there's a problem, would he dare to say anything to his father-in-law?

Zhang Benmo kept a somber expression and remained silent.

What's the point of explaining? Some things are just as Lu Weiguo and his brother said.

Value is more important than relationships.

No matter how good the relationship is, it's not as important as your personal value.

"Dad, this is a letter that Qian Duolai was on. I'm the only one who's seen it. Take a look; it might be helpful to you."

Thinking of this, Zhang Benmo took out the letter that Xiong Laoda didn't want from his pocket.

Value is more important than relationships.

This letter is clearly valuable.

Moreover, he had seen it before.

"Okay, put it down. Go see your wife and kids. You're not acting like a father; you can't even do your job properly."

And they always cause me trouble!

Zhang Benmo, who was scolded again, pinched his thigh hard.

This is his habit; he always gets scolded by his father-in-law.

I will keep a record of everything.

I'm afraid I'll forget this resentment.

On the other side...

The Qian family.

Apart from his mother's sobs, Qian Yunshan was frighteningly calm.

The message was a letter delivered by Boss Xiong.

That group of people, along with their families, all disappeared without a trace.

All the anger had nowhere to go.

I just stood by the window, looking out.

It is said that the death of a loved one does not initially bring sadness.

She would only suddenly break down when she got used to calling his name.

Besides, Qian Duolai was a child born to the elderly couple late in life.

Having a child when you're in your thirties.

"Don't cry. Go back to your room and pack your things. I'll take you away in a bit."

After calming down for a long time, Qian Yunshan said these words in a low voice.

He ignored his wife, who continued to cry and make a fuss.

He put on a black coat and went out alone.
