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

"Oh? Is something going on?"

Lu Weiguo stared blankly at the back of his father, who had walked to the side to wait.

I have a feeling this family definitely has some other ideas, but it's none of his business anymore.

As for how he might help others, including Li Xiuhe, it would be entirely up to his wife.

As a son-in-law from another family, you should do what you can do well. If you do too much of the rest, you will be disliked.

He felt he was meddling a bit too much in this matter.

But his wife kept crying, and if he didn't take care of her, she probably wouldn't even be able to look after the child.

No matter how fiercely they argue, they are still sisters after all.

For example, right now, as soon as they hear that Li Xiuhe needs protection...

Li Xiulian started to panic again.

"Honey, what does Uncle Wang mean? I have a feeling there will be problems if we take over that house. Will Widow Sun cause trouble?"

Li Xiuhe pulled Lu Weiguo aside and pointed to the small, dilapidated house that Widow Sun used to live in.

That house is quite famous; it's in a good location, right at the school gate.

The house has a front yard and a back yard.

Although the area is not large, it is more than enough.

A few dining tables can be set up in the front yard for breakfast during the day and a small barbecue in the evening.

We can grow some vegetables in the backyard, which should be enough to feed our family of three.

The old, dilapidated mud-brick house was crooked because no one had taken care of it for years, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

At this time, the house did not have a property ownership certificate, but only a transfer agreement, which could be reported upon receipt.

If the house is really as it is now, then the two hundred yuan that Li Xiuhe gave was actually quite a lot.

the other side.

The three of them walked into the school's logistics department.

The logistics department, which is usually bustling with activity every day, was unusually quiet today when this young couple came.

Everyone pressed their faces against the windows as the three walked in; the silence was eerily profound.

I was afraid of missing any of the excitement and not hearing it clearly.

The three people inside remained silent, and none of them even looked at each other directly.

The letter of introduction was issued very quickly.

After all, ever since Li Xiuhe was confronted by the wife of the man she was having an affair with, her marriage to Wang Guidian has become the talk of the school.

The clerk is known as a big mouth at school.

Seeing that the couple remained silent, the older staff members from the school also arrived.

With a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum, he stood up and greeted Wu Guifen.

"Sister Wu is here. Can't this young couple just settle down and live a peaceful life? They always have to trouble you to come all this way."

Even staying at home won't give you peace and quiet.

What's wrong with Xiao Wang's face? I've told you before, when Sister Guifen was in school, she was the one who kept the whole school in check.

Why did you provoke her? Even if Xiuhe wronged you, you can't just go and sleep with a widow at home the next day!

Do you know that this is bigamy? It's even worse than Xiuhe's case!

What does it mean to enjoy watching a spectacle and not mind making things worse?

This old lady's performance was textbook perfect.

In those days, the school's logistics department held power second only to the principal.

They are in charge of everything in the school, from payroll to all other matters besides teaching.

Abbreviated as School Encyclopedia.

Li Xiuhe and Wang Guidian only dared to lower their heads and not look him in the eye.

Wu Guifen didn't care about any of that: "Your mouth is really something else, hurry up and open the letter of introduction, will it kill you to say one less word?"

The logistics director didn't seem to care.

Still smiling, she said, "My hands haven't been idle either, have they? I'm telling you, Sister Wu, we need to speak our minds. If we keep it bottled up inside, it'll make everyone uncomfortable."

Actually, I think Xiao Wang is a pretty good person. Aside from smoking and drinking, he hasn't had any other bad habits in recent years.

Many young wives approached him privately, asking him to look after their children, but Xiao Wang refused them all.

Oh dear, isn't it normal for someone to have a few problems? It's your daughter, on the other hand, who's been quite unruly at school...

"Fuck you! Your mouth is as sharp as a swallow's tongue. If you can talk, then talk. If you can't, then cut it off!"

Upon hearing that the previous matter was brought up again, Wu Guifen was about to jump up and slap the man without saying a word.

The logistics director was quick to dodge, holding up the letter of introduction in front of himself.

The meaning is quite clear: if you keep arguing, you won't get the letter of introduction.

Wu Guifen snatched the letter of introduction, glared at the logistics director, and pulled Li Xiuhe by the hand to leave.

Wang Guidian only dared to follow when the two were about to leave.

Only the logistics director's sly laughter remained in the room: "Hahaha, Xiao Wang, come to me if you need anything. I love chatting with young comrades."

The onlookers outside dispersed automatically and then rushed into the house to start asking the logistics director questions.

"Mom, I don't want to stay in school anymore."

Stepping out of the house, Li Xiuhe finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Just as the logistics director said.

She was quite a popular figure at school; she was good-looking and knew how to dress.

He often joked around with the male teachers at school.

He has always been a competitive person.

But this time...

"If you don't want to stay, then don't stay. Didn't your brother-in-law give you some advice? Just stay at home for a while. With your parents around, no one will dare to bully you."

Wu Guifen's voice wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for Wang Guidian to hear.

"Mom, I'd like to stay with my fourth sister for a while, and come back after things have calmed down, okay?"

Li Xiuhe never expected that during her most difficult time, the place she most wanted to go, where she felt most at ease and gratified, would be Lao Si's place.

The person who gave him the most sense of security was actually his brother-in-law, whom he looked down upon the most.

"Huh? This..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Guifen fell silent, realizing that her opinion didn't count in the matter.

"Let me discuss it with your sister and brother-in-law."

After leaving the school, Wu Guifen didn't rush to talk about it.

Instead, the group walked towards the street.

On the other side of the street, Wu Guifen was even more familiar with the neighbors, who were all old friends she had known for years.

Upon seeing this large family enter, he looked up and glanced at them.

I held back my laughter and didn't dare to say anything.

She wasn't laughing at that; she'd been on the streets for decades and had seen it all.

It was the first time I'd ever seen a man with bruises on his face, his lips swollen like a duck's, but his eyes bulging out like a big goldfish.

They say you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but I've never seen someone get hit so hard in the face.

After taking the letter of introduction, I asked a few simple questions about the specifics.

Wu Guifen answered in her place.

Before Wu Guifen could finish speaking, the red stamp in his hand was naturally stamped on.

With a muffled thud, the seven-year marriage came to an end.

It was like a heavy hammer blow, striking their hearts deeply.

Humans aren't plants or trees; even when faced with something like this, they still have feelings.

Stepping out of the neighborhood office, the newly risen morning sun felt warm and comforting on my skin.

Li Xiuhe felt as if she had been reborn.

Standing in Li Xiuhe's shadow, Wang Guidian touched his pocket, wanting to take out a cigarette and light it.

But.....

His pockets were empty, he didn't even have a penny, and his cigarettes had been confiscated by Sun Guihua early that morning.
