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

The word "Auntie" completely severed the bond between the mother and daughter.

Shu's elderly mother plopped down on the ground, while Shu Ruirui stared at Shu Ruizhi in disbelief.

"No, that's not it. It's just a thousand yuan, right? Sister, you don't have to be like this."

I've already inquired. He's the guy who slapped me. Just the reward for saving people plus the money from hunting wild boars should be enough to scrape together a thousand yuan.

Aren't you his sister-in-law? You should ask him—no, you should beg him to lend you the money. Is that not allowed?

Shu Ruirui's small eyes darted around, her words devoid of any emotion.

But after seeing Lu Baojia's murderous gaze...

He didn't dare to go forward and could only watch his mother longingly.

"What good is it of mine? Go beg your sister! She's already calling me 'Auntie,' she's already calling me 'Auntie'!"

The old lady of the Shu family slapped her thigh, completely stunned by this title.

Lu Weiguo left quickly, and he returned quickly as well.

At that time, the sound insulation of the adobe houses was already poor.

In addition, many men like to go out for a stroll on the day before the Lunar New Year.

The old lady from the Shu family was arguing when a lot of villagers gathered outside to watch the commotion.

This includes even the ever-busy Village Chief Huang.

The moment she heard about severing ties, she was still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Huang Cun ran so fast that his shoes fell off, and he dashed back to the village branch office, grabbed the official seal, and didn't even have time to write a letter of severance of ties.

He followed Lu Weiguo into the house, panting.

"Isn't this Sister Wang? You know how this whole thing got out of hand." Huang Guangzu clearly knew the old lady of the Shu family before.

I know her real name is Wang.

"Old Huang, you're here! Please help me! My unfilial daughter wants to sever ties with me. You have to be the judge!"

What kind of daughter is this?!

When the old lady of the Shu family saw Huang Guangzu, she wiped away tears and slapped her thigh.

Compared to the calm Shu Ruizhi, it's easy to be unaware of the full picture.

They would definitely think that Shu Ruizhi was bullying someone.

"My eldest daughter, ever since she married into the Lu family, has been bewitched. She's been hooked by a weasel spirit and has even said she wants to sever ties with me."

You're the village chief, you can't just ignore this!

The old lady from the Shu family got more and more excited as she talked.

Lu Weiguo chuckled as he watched the clumsy performance.

This might actually be useful in other villages.

But given his current relationship with Village Chief Huang, and his understanding of Village Chief Huang...

That's it?

That's it?

"Sister Wang, that's enough. I don't know much about your family's affairs, but I do know quite a bit. Cutting off ties is a good thing."

Shu Ruizhi works at our local purchasing station. It's not easy for her; she's heavily pregnant, but she works harder than anyone else.

"And yet you still come here to cut flesh and drink blood? You really have no sense of decency."

Huang Guangzu spoke frankly, and then inquired about the specific details of severing ties. In front of everyone, he began to write the document severing ties.

"Grandma, to be honest, it's not that my older brother and sister-in-law don't want to help your stupid son, it's just that he's a good-for-nothing."

If he had a stable job, or could get into university, and was a decent person, then even my brother wouldn't care.

"I'm willing to lend a hand, but what about him? Look at him like this!" Lu Weiguo squatted down and looked Shu Ruirui up and down as if she were a piglet.

"Also, I advise you to stop making trouble. I only slapped him a few times today, which is already giving my sister-in-law plenty of face. Otherwise, if I hadn't lost a leg or some other part, I wouldn't be a man."

As you all know, I have good relations with the police. If you keep making trouble, I'll sue you for extortion, threats, and embezzlement.

"At that time, not only will you not get a single penny, but you'll also get back every single work point my sister-in-law earned, the money you entrusted to her for safekeeping, and the dowry."

Present the facts and evidence.

It carried a slight hint of threat.

Everyone in the room grimaced at the sound.

The onlookers outside also started laughing.

They all laughed and said that Lu Weiguo's temper had improved after he became a hero who saved lives.

Those who cause trouble for the Lu family rarely leave unscathed.

"It's alright, Ruizhi. From now on, I'll treat you like my own daughter."

"Okay, you'll stay with Dad! Dad will take care of the baby, and Mom will help you during your postpartum period! Childbirth is a life-threatening ordeal for women, how can a mother not understand this!"

Mr. and Mrs. Lu could no longer stay still. They came over and sat down next to Shu Ruizhi to comfort their daughter-in-law.

"You still have a father and a mother. Even if Baojia bullies you, I'll beat him up! You can rest assured in my home."

The older generation knows how important home is to a woman.

Especially in this era of relative preference for sons over daughters.

A woman's family is her source of confidence.

To help Shu Ruizhi come to terms with it, Lu's parents talked themselves hoarse.

In the most clumsy way, we gave Shu Ruizhi warmth and the greatest sense of security.

"Alright, it's finished. Now come and sign it. Once you've signed and stamped it, you'll be fine." Huang Guangzu rolled his eyes at Old Mrs. Wang.

"You don't need to make a scene. This is the first person to sever ties with the family and ask for nothing from the main branch. You, as their adopted daughter, have already done enough."

There are some things I don't want to say. If I were to say them, it wouldn't be as simple as a letter severing ties.

Whoops!

There's a story behind this.

Lu Weiguo immediately looked at Huang Guangzu and saw that the old man had a shrewd and calculating look on his face.

That's when I realized this old man was actually quite something.

However, the other people in the room did not notice anything wrong.

After Huang Guangzu said that, the old lady stopped crying and making a fuss, and just glared fiercely at Huang Guangzu and the people in the room.

He signed his name with trembling hands.

Wang Er.

The name is simple.

Shu Ruirui wanted to continue making a scene, since she hadn't gotten the money yet.

But the old lady of the Shu family grabbed her ear and dragged her away without saying a word.

"Alright, everyone, disperse. It's the Little New Year today, everyone should hurry home to celebrate!"

Village Chief Huang, with his hands behind his back, dispersed the villagers.

Lu Weiguo glanced at the people inside the room, and seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, he followed Huang Guangzu out.

"Village chief, have one. I really want to thank you today. You're the one who stunned that old woman with just one sentence."

Lu Weiguo started with a barrage of flattery, then, taking advantage of a moment when Village Chief Huang wasn't looking, asked, "What were you going to say just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Shu Ruizhi isn't her biological daughter..."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!!" Huang Guangzu exclaimed before realizing what he had said.

She slapped Lu Weiguo across the back. "You little rascal, you even know how to trick me into talking!"

You're up to no good. Look at Zhang Dexing, he's been cleaning up the village these past few days, truly serving the villagers wholeheartedly.

"Bullshit! Don't you know what happened with that wild boar meat and the purchasing station? I'm being lenient by not going after you, and now you're using this to put me down?" Lu Weiguo curled his lip.

"These are minor matters, let's talk about them in a few days. Tell me what exactly happened to my sister-in-law."

"It's a long story, she had a tough life..."
