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

The wind was biting cold outside.

A storm was brewing in the county town.

But at the mother-in-law's house, it was unusually quiet.

Liu Dazhuang followed Huang He to find his former wife.

Lu Weiguo was left kneeling on the ground with a thud.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Xiulian. I'll take whatever you want, whether you hit me or scold me."

Upon seeing her parents, Li Xiulian finally put down all her burdens.

Without saying a word, she fainted on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

"Wei Guo, get up and tell me what happened."

Wu Guifen, who was used to big scenes, changed her daughter's clothes before looking at Lu Weiguo, who was kneeling.

Making him kneel until now is a form of reproach from his mother.

However, putting aside emotions, we still need to find out the truth.

"Glorious, go get Weiguo a cup of hot water. Look how frozen he is! Don't you have any sense of propriety?!"

Wu Guifen vented all her resentment on Li Guangrong.

"Mom, don't bother Dad, I'll just kneel here and say it."

Lu Weiguo dared not get up.

He was terrified that his mother-in-law would shoot him.

If we're really talking about it, this mother-in-law's marksmanship and the number of people she's killed are probably far superior to mine.

"That won't do. If others see this, they'll think the Li family is bullying people."

"Get up first, or we can stop talking about anything else."

Seeing Lu Weiguo's defeated expression.

Wu Guifen grew increasingly angry.

A man should stand tall and be upright; what kind of person is a coward?

Of course, her husband doesn't count.

In her home, she is the pillar of strength.

"Mom, um, I'm getting up."

Seeing Wu Guifen's assertiveness, Lu Weiguo didn't dare to sit down behind me and just stood by the fire.

"Speak up. I know you didn't do this. Who did it? Why? And what are you going to do next? Tell me everything clearly."

Lu Weiguo nodded upon hearing this.

The more arrogant they were just moments ago, the more humble they are now.

It's like a primary school student reciting a text.

He recounted the events from the moment Li Xiulian left by car, without any emotion.

At this moment, the wind outside was exceptionally strong.

Just like Lu Weiguo's anxious heart.

"No... Let's start from finding the person again, without adding emotion, just describe the process."

After listening, Wu Guifen raised her questions.

"I didn't add any emotion, just the process: six broken legs, two broken hands, one mentally disabled, one with severed limbs, and he became disabled."

"Did you do this?"

"Yes, it's me and my brother."

"Good!! Damn it, how dare you hit my woman like that! This is my most beloved little girl!"

Damn it, when I gave birth to her, I almost lost half my life!

Xiulian was sensible from a young age. When other children fought over food, Xiulian always saved the best for me, and I wouldn't even touch it.

These bastards and beasts, how dare they hit her!

Damn it, Wei Guo, you did the right thing! Just not ruthless enough.

Why weren't these beasts who eat the people's food and take the people's money overthrown back then?!

Lu Weiguo: ? ? ?

What's going on?

He remembered mentioning what the other side did.

This mother-in-law was not afraid or worried about the Qian family's retaliation; on the contrary, she said he did the right thing!

They even said he wasn't ruthless enough!

Is this plot correct?

On the contrary, Li Guangrong, who was pouring water, was already used to Wu Guifen doing this.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

It's as if to say, "After you've finished criticizing them, don't criticize me!"

however.

Is it possible to escape this?

After Wu Guifen finished speaking, she pointed at her good-for-nothing husband, "Your daughter has been beaten like this, and you haven't even said a word?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guangrong sighed and fell silent, but he still couldn't escape it.

How could he not be angry when his own daughter was covered in bruises?

"Old woman, I'll do whatever you say."

After holding it in for a long time, Li Guangrong finally managed to say it.

"Listen to me? What good would it do? What am I supposed to do? Go find those old comrades and fight them to the death?"

Let's listen to our son-in-law and see what he wants to do. Let's not cause him any trouble!

From the very beginning, Wu Guifen was not afraid of trouble, nor did she intend to hide; she was simply considering Lu Weiguo's thoughts.

"Mom, I... I want Xiulian to stay here for a few days. I'll bring Jiahuan and Jiacheng over tomorrow."

Qian Yunshan only mentioned the conditions for investigating his family.

However, it was not mentioned that Li Xiulian was investigated.

If a real investigation were conducted, given Wu Guifen's status, he would have no choice but to mention it.

Therefore, your father-in-law's house is definitely safer than your own home.

"And then what? And then you go and fight those idiots to the death?" Wu Guifen said with a disdainful look.

Of course, it's not that she had particularly strong connections, but rather that she was someone who could stand tall and walk back from the battlefield in that era.

Armed with millet and rifles, they dared to fight against the mechanized, rudimentary lifestyle.

The word "fear" has long since disappeared from the dictionary.

"I...I haven't decided yet."

Lu Weiguo hadn't really thought it through; his original plan was to proceed gradually, with him working behind the scenes.

But suddenly stepping into the spotlight, he hadn't accumulated enough strength.

"You're still young. Come sit here, I'll tell you something."

Looking at Lu Weiguo's voice and appearance, Wu Guifen felt even more heartbroken.

He didn't know that Lu Weiguo was older than her before he transmigrated.

In her eyes, Lu Weiguo was nothing more than a young man in his early twenties.

He used to be a farmer and had never experienced any major hardships, but now he can be a good husband and a good father.

Even when he was avenging his wife, he didn't feel any fear when he saw such a bloody scene.

She was very gratified at that moment.

He patted the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) next to him.

Touching Lu Weiguo's hands, which were red from the cold and as cold as ice.

He kicked Li Guangrong again, yelling, "Just pour hot water! Go and make everyone some brown sugar ginger soup; your daughter needs it when she wakes up!"

Li Guangrong: ? ? ? ?

"Come here, let me tell you, do you know what I did back then?"

Do you know that what Mom went through back then was even more desperate than what you went through?

At that time, the whole country condemned us as traitors. We had no supplies whatsoever, and the mechanized Japanese troops were right below us. We were just armed with machetes and rifles.

They eat meat, we gnaw on tree bark! They sweep the land, we do our best to protect the village.

It took an average of ten people to kill one Japanese soldier! But they resolutely prevented any civilians from dying.

What allows us to persevere? It's the people, it's this place, it's our spirit!!

Only when you are strong here will you become strong! History has proven this.

If it's really as you say, then history has already provided the answer.

Don't be afraid, just do it boldly.

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; aren't we old folks here too?"

Wu Guifen straightened her hunched back even more.

Their eyes shone brightly with each cry of "People!"

"Son-in-law, you did the right thing. You must always stand on the side of the people. The only mistake you made was that you shouldn't sit on a bed that's only big enough for your size."

You're being a bit impulsive. But if you don't act impulsively now that your woman is hurt like this, I won't acknowledge you anymore!

That way, it'll be fine to send the child over tomorrow. I'll also go out tomorrow.

Remember! As long as no one dies, I can guarantee that all your actions will be classified as... ordinary fighting!
