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

Happy birthday!

Laughter filled the dining table; Wu Guifen adored the Lu family's two children.

Apart from the fact that the two children are relatively close to each other.

Another thing is that Lu Jiacheng is really good at making the elderly happy.

The cake was divided and given to the maternal grandparents first.

He was wishing the old man a long and healthy life while offering birthday greetings on one side.

His maternal grandparents gave him a small hat.

He took out a painting he had drawn as a blessing for his grandparents from his pocket.

The two old people were so amused that they couldn't stop laughing.

On the contrary, Li Xiuhe was like an extra person.

She laughed along with everyone else, but couldn't find the words to interject.

Until it was almost over.

Li Xiuhe kept giving Wu Guifen meaningful glances.

Wu Guifen glanced at Lu Weiguo, cleared her throat, and said, "Weiguo, how's your matter going? I heard the raid was quite successful. Your sister has something she wants to discuss with you."

"Mom!" Upon hearing that Wu Guifen hadn't spoken up for her, Li Xiuhe scolded him playfully, then looked at Lu Weiguo and his wife with embarrassment.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I have something I'd like to ask you."

As Li Xiuhe spoke, she glanced at Li Xiulian's gold and silver attire.

"I'd like to borrow some money. You see, it seems like small businesses are allowed to open up in our county now. I'm thinking of taking over that little shop at the intersection near Mom's house. We can sell breakfast there in the mornings; there are a lot of people there, so it's sure to be profitable."

We're still a little short of money.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo glanced at Li Xiulian but remained silent.

After all, it's his wife's family's business, so it's best for him, as an "outsider," not to interfere.

"Sis? Don't you have a job? Your husband is also a full-time employee. Aren't your jobs stable? Even if things have opened up, it's not good to do this kind of work when you already have jobs, is it?"

Li Xiulian had been chatting with Meng Fanjiao at the library with her child for the past few days.

In just over a week, I learned about many advanced policies and practical matters.

After all, she had been out of school for many years and was like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge.

"Ugh! Don't even mention it! Your sister, your sister got sent to the kitchen!"

Wu Guifen spoke up at this moment.

"Mom! Didn't we say we wouldn't mention this?" Li Xiuhe said, her head down, her voice tinged with reproach.

"I didn't mention it? You had the nerve to do it back then, but you're too embarrassed to let anyone know? Tell me how hard it is to have a decent job."

You didn't cherish it at all, and now look what's happened—you've lost your job and have to borrow money from your sister. She has the right to know if you want to borrow money!

Whoops!

As soon as Lu Weiguo heard there was some excitement, his ears perked up.

Fortunately, Li Guangrong took the two children to play in the yard.

I wasn't scared by my grandma's loud voice.

"Mom? What happened to my sister? Was she bullied?"

Li Xiulian pretended not to understand anything and continued to ask.

A few years ago, even if Wu Guifen wanted to say this, she wouldn't have dared to listen.

After all, given Third Sister's shrewish personality and her cowardice, she would always try to take the blame for any trouble that might arise.

But now it's different; her own man has given her everything she needs.

"Your sister! Your sister was having an affair with a student's parent! The parent's wife came to the school!"

A single sentence struck Lu Weiguo like a thunderbolt.

That's interesting!

To be honest, the third sister was not as pretty as Li Xiulian.

He's also become much more robust.

This means being born in the wrong era. What's that called in later generations?

Pear-shaped body!

Correct!

In addition, her slim waist, which suggests she has never had children, does indeed easily lead to suggestive thoughts.

But wasn't Lee Soo-ho in junior high school?

Those parents must be at least in their late thirties, maybe even forties...

"Mom~ Sister, I didn't! He kept harassing me, and I didn't agree to anything. Why won't you believe me!"

Li Xiuhe stood up to defend herself.

"You didn't agree, so why did the organization punish you? If I hadn't risked my reputation to beg for help, you wouldn't even have been cut off from your food rations!"

"You still have the nerve to say you didn't do it? That old man confessed, and he lost his job. If you hadn't done it, would you have been punished so severely?"

This is so lively!

He's still a little old man!

Being called "old man" by a man in his sixties.

They must be quite old by then.

Lu Weiguo, who initially felt that there were no snacks to accompany his drinks, now found himself enjoying them immensely.

"So what! He's better than Wang Guidian! He's more caring than Wang Guidian. I don't want to live a life of widowhood!"

Li Xiuhe downed the glass of wine in front of her.

She continued, sobbing, "Back then, you insisted I marry him, saying he had a good, stable job. Didn't you ever consider my happiness? Do you know what I've been through all these years?"

"Did I force you to marry him? Didn't that mean you lost your virginity?! Didn't you bring that on yourself?! You're not even clean anymore! What! You want to ruin someone else's life?"

Wu Guifen was very concerned about this.

Lu Weiguo was already quite drunk at this point.

This is so interesting; he had no idea before.

Li Xiuhe was a teacher with a respectable job, and she used to pretend to be aloof at home.

Even when his own sister was pregnant, he would look down on her several times.

They said having children would affect her work and her teaching career.

"I... I never expected him to take medication that night, especially the kind of medication meant for animals... He couldn't take it anymore..."

"Even if he's not good enough, you can't cheat on him!"

Wu Guifen looked at her disappointing third daughter.

The meat in my mouth tasted like chewing wax.

Li Xiulian gave Lu Weiguo, who was watching the commotion, a sharp retort, her big eyes blinking rapidly.

Seeing the mother and daughter crying together, after all, they were her relatives.

"Mom, sister, please stop crying. I feel like this isn't going to work."

Lu Weiguo cleared his throat and said, suppressing a laugh.

"Ah? Brother-in-law, I...I'm fine..."

"But you can do other things." Lu Weiguo didn't want to continue this with her.

He carefully examined Li Xiuhe and said with a serious expression.

"Sis, do you want to divorce your husband?"

Lu Weiguo's words were a gesture of respect for her; what man could tolerate being cuckolded?

It's highly likely that Wang Guidian wants to divorce her.

"That makes things easier. I have a job for you to see if you can do it."

As Lu Weiguo spoke, he touched the water with his hand and wrote a few words on the table.

"Breakfast shop, bathhouse."

Li Xiulian read it aloud.

The others stared at each other, completely bewildered.

After all, nowadays, all restaurants and bathhouses are state-owned.

Even the bathhouse attendants are all formally employed staff with government jobs.

It's something to be proud of.

Of course, there are massage services, including foot massages, but it doesn't sound very appealing.

"Yes, you can choose one of these two. The breakfast shop is more tiring, and you earn hard-earned money, but it will definitely be enough for you to eat and drink, and enough for your expenses." Lu Weiguo pointed to Li Xiulian's new clothes.

"Working at a bathhouse is easy. You just collect the money, and you can find someone else to do everything else. You earn less, but it's not tiring. It's your choice. As long as you want to do it, I can support you."
