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

Wait!

It all boils down to one word: waiting.

The three people waiting were shivering from the cold.

Lu Weiguo wanted to take out his gun several times, but thinking of the jackal's revenge and his wife and children at home, he held back.

. . . .

at the same time.

After a day of fun, Zhang Dexing drove his car back to Fendou Village in a grand manner.

However, this time, he wasn't as flamboyant as he was last time.

He drove the car directly into the village committee compound, then went straight into the small room he had converted from his duty room and started tidying up.

Clean up the dust.

He then took out two bags of local specialties from the car and walked slowly toward Village Chief Huang's house.

"Ouch!"

As soon as Zhang Dexing entered the room, Village Chief Huang, who was lying on his side listening to the radio, immediately sat up.

"Isn't this Xiao Zhang? You're finally back! Are the elders at home alright? You've been gone for so long, our village can't do without you now!"

"We can't do without you, our cultured comrade, to lead us. Look at you, you just got back and what are you carrying?"

After having money in his pocket, Village Chief Huang stood up much straighter.

Furthermore, because he managed the purchasing station, the villagers treated him with increasing respect.

A good village chief is one who can lead everyone to make money. This kind of tangible benefit is much more useful than those incomprehensible promises. He has truly understood what Lu Weiguo once said.

"Thank you for your concern, Village Chief Huang. My elders are much better now. I've been away for a while, and I appreciate your help. This is a specialty from the provincial capital, red sausage. I've finally come back, so I definitely had to bring some for you."

Before Zhang Dexing could finish speaking, Village Chief Huang paused in surprise.

He raised his head and looked Zhang Dexing up and down.

Is this the same spoiled brat from before?

Is it that his body is still his, but his soul has been replaced by Wong Tai Sin?

Is this something he could say?

How can this person change so much?

And his undisguised surprise upon seeing Huang Guangzu.

Zhang Dexing smiled sheepishly.

"Village Chief Huang, when I went home this time, my elders scolded me. I deeply understand the trouble I caused you before, and I have also realized my mistakes."

"I'll continue to work with the village chief, and I'll cooperate with you to make our village a better place."

This. . .

This. . . .

Two consecutive remarks completely stumped Huang Guangzu.

I don't know how to respond, nor do I know how to deal with Zhang Dexing's change.

The deadlock was broken when Aunt Huang came out of the house.

"Isn't this Cadre Zhang? Old Huang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and let Xiao Zhang in. I'll go get you some hot water right away."

"No need, Auntie. I just came to see you two and brought you some local specialties. I still have some documents to read, so I'll head back to the village committee now."

Zhang Dexing adjusted his glasses with gentle and refined movements, embodying the very essence of an intellectual.

"Oh? Right, where are you going to stay tonight? I'll get a few people to help you settle in. This whole mess! You didn't even tell me you were coming back. Now that there are phones in the village, Xiao Lu's family is almost getting one."

"You can just make a phone call."

Upon hearing Lu Weiguo's name, Zhang Dexing frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

"I've almost finished cleaning, you two should get some rest."

Looking at Zhang Dexing's back.

Village Chief Huang was still unable to react for a moment.

"What happened to this kid? When did he become so polite? This is red sausage, honey, open it and try it!"

"I've heard this stuff isn't cheap. Just this casing—yes, the casing—is worth more than the clothes we're wearing."

Village Chief Huang was quite knowledgeable, and the red sausages made at that time were all made with the finest ingredients.

The government employees are all lazy and shirk their duties; none of them want to do any work.

But the materials used in government-produced goods are of very high quality.

. . . . . .

Zhang Dexing walked out of the village chief's house with a slight smile on his lips.

Then he took two more bags of gifts and walked towards Lu Weiguo's house.

At this time, the lights in Luwei State were still on.

Lu Weiguo took Li Xiuhe up the mountain, and they still hadn't returned by this late hour.

How could Li Xiulian possibly sleep?

Not only could Li Xiulian not sleep, but even Li Huifang and Widow Liu came to Lu Wei's house to wait with her.

"Bang bang bang".

A knock came at the door.

Li Xiulian suddenly stood up from the stool.

"Has Wei Guo returned?!"

Li Xiulian said something to Li Huifang, and without even putting on her clothes, she hurriedly ran out to open the door.

Li Huifang and Widow Liu got up at the same time, helped Li Xiulian take her coat, and followed her out.

By the moonlight, the two walked into the courtyard and realized that the people outside the door were not Lu Weiguo and his two companions at all.

Instead, it was Zhang Dexing, who had disappeared long ago!

"Zhang Dexing, what brings you here?"

Li Xiulian blocked Zhang Dexing's way through the doorway with half her body.

It wasn't that she had finally seen through Zhang Dexing's heart, but rather that ever since the child was lost, she no longer trusted anyone except her own family.

"What? You don't welcome me?" Zhang Dexing still had that same smiling face, but he didn't squeeze into the house with jokes like before.

Zhang Dexing held up the two bags of gifts in his hands.

"Xiulian, it's so late, I won't come inside. This is a gift I brought back for you from the provincial capital."

This bag contains red sausage, which Weiguo eats with his drinks. This bag contains toys for his children; they are all the most popular toys in the provincial capital.

We don't have any here.

Zhang Dexing acted as if he couldn't see Li Xiulian's expression and enthusiastically introduced the product.

But when he looked up, he saw Widow Liu, with whom he had once shared a bed.

Then, he subconsciously licked his lips.

His brow furrowed, his pupils contracted, and primal desires took over his mind.

"This...it's too expensive, so please don't accept it. I can't take this gift."

Seeing Zhang Dexing's politeness, Li Xiulian rubbed her furrowed brows and put on an unpleasant smile.

"Take it, it's all from the heart. Besides, it's not for you, it's for the children." Zhang Dexing forcibly stuffed the gift into Li Xiulian's arms.

After that, he didn't say anything more. He not only waved goodbye to Li Xiulian, but also greeted the two young wives who were standing in the courtyard and didn't dare to come over.

"Xiulian, is he really Zhang Dexing? What's going on? Why is he being so polite?"

After pulling Li Xiulian into the house, Li Huifang couldn't believe it.

"Yes, him... he wasn't like this before..."

Widow Liu had seen Zhang Dexing's darkest side.

She is one of the people who knows him best.

"Sigh, he probably ran into some trouble. Zhang Dexing isn't a bad person at heart. After all, we were classmates, so I know him well." Li Xiulian rubbed her temples.

Neither Li Huifang nor the widow Liu dared to refute what she said.

Widow Liu was about to say something, but Li Huifang stopped her with a single look.

The three continued to pray for the safety of Lu Weiguo and his two companions as they went up the mountain.

The gift was placed in the middle of the table, as if they had ignored it.
