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

"Jiacheng, did you hear what I just said?"

As soon as the children were chased away, Lu Weiguo squatted down and hugged the two children in his arms.

"Mom and Dad, we are all good people in our family. My mom is the best mom in the world."

Lu Jiacheng didn't say anything, but instead firmly believed in his mother.

"That's right! Just ignore what others say. You're a man now, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong."

If anyone mentions your mother again, don't cry. Just grab a brick and smash it over their head. If anything happens, your dad will be responsible.

Remember, we're men. We have to protect Mom and my sister, understand?

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiacheng wiped away his tears, hugged his younger sister, and nodded firmly: "Remember, Dad. Anyone who dares to speak ill of Mom will be punished. No one is allowed to say anything bad about Mom!"

"That's right. Don't tell Mom what you just heard. Later, tell her you want to eat Grandma's braised pork, and take Mom to Grandma's house."

Spend more time with your younger siblings; I'll pick you up tonight.

Lu Weiguo did not give a specific reason, and Lu Jiacheng did not ask any further questions.

After nodding seriously, he took his sister's hand and went inside.

Before long, Li Xiulian, wearing an apron, was pulled out by Lu Jiacheng.

"Mommy, Mommy, let's go! I want to eat braised pork. Let's go find Grandma! Please!"

Li Xiulian already found it difficult to refuse Lu Jiacheng's requests, and seeing this situation, she could only look at Lu Weiguo apologetically: "Honey, I've already boiled the water, but my brother insists on going to Grandma's house."

Look...

"Then go ahead. I'll tidy up at home and get my hunting gear ready. You guys eat first, don't worry about me. You can also share your experience of taking care of children with your sister-in-law."

Seeing Lu Weiguo nod, Li Xiulian picked up the two children and walked happily toward the Lu family's old house.

Lu Jiacheng leaned on his mother's shoulder and gave Lu Weiguo a thumbs up.

Lu Weiguo smiled knowingly upon seeing this.

Is it a boy?

That's how you raise children; they need to be able to take care of the family from a young age.

Girls don't need to do that; they just need to be warm and sweet.

Preferring sons to daughters?

This doesn't exist in Lu Weiguo's case.

It's more like favoring girls over boys; which old man from Northeast China wouldn't want a cute little cotton-padded jacket?

As for why Lu Weiguo didn't leave?

He knew the little boy who was yelling the loudest and making the biggest fuss.

The parents were honest and had a good relationship with Lu Weiguo. When he went to the purchasing station to get work, his parents were the most reliable.

But his grandmother was no pushover.

A few years ago, she and her sister-in-law Shu Ruizhi were known as the two "tigers" of Fendou Village.

Shu Ruizhi simply refuses to admit to being taken advantage of. If her family suffers even the slightest loss, the entire village becomes silent.

She could curse from one end of the village to the other.

Even Village Chief Huang didn't dare to go out and stop them.

And the little boy's grandmother, Old Wai, absolutely lived up to that nickname.

That's the kind of person who considers it a loss if they don't gain an advantage.

Moreover, the preference for sons over daughters was extremely severe; the little boy was born to his only son and was his only grandson.

She grew up in her arms since she was a baby, and she's already eight years old. The old lady still has to chase after her to feed her.

The son and daughter-in-law didn't dare say anything, as they had to hand over their annual work points.

Fortunately, with the acquisition station, and after making arrangements with Shu Ruizhi, the money earned from the work was divided into two parts: one part was kept by myself, and the other part was given to Old Wai's wife.

This old lady was shocked to see her precious grandson scratched like this by his lynx.

No wonder they came looking for us immediately!

Go and ask the village yourself what happened.

What you hear is most likely a fabricated lie.

But if the old lady said it herself, then it's 100% true.

as predicted.

It didn't even take ten minutes.

An elderly woman with white hair, swaying her large hips, leaning on a cane, and running briskly with her grandson, came running over.

The little boy who had just been so frightened by Wangcai that he wet himself.

Because of her grandmother's protection, she tilted her head to the sky, pointed at the Lu family, and started complaining: "It's him! It's that green-haired turtle you mentioned. When he saw me playing in the sand, he sent that lynx to bite me. Look how badly it bit me! Waaah, Grandma, it hurts so much! I'm so scared I can't eat!"

The little boy had a strong voice and didn't look scared at all.

When Mrs. Wai heard this, she became even angrier.

She practically swung her cane around, then jogged towards Lu Weiguo.

"You shameless beast! You can't even control your own woman, yet you try to control my grandson! What, if you don't want that sand, then it's village property. Why can't my grandson play with it? And you, you greedy beast, I told you long ago, you can't bring animals from the mountains into the village. Look how scared my grandson is!!"

This is my precious child! You scared him to death! Do you even have the money to pay for it?! Your own child has been lost twice already, what's the worst that can happen if you find him?

You've done countless evil deeds, utterly devoid of conscience. You'll lose your child sooner or later; that's karma!

Old Mrs. Wai's voice was so shrill that it immediately woke up the neighbors who were taking a nap at home.

Since Zhang Dexing returned.

They made the old men and women in the village very happy.

It's been a long time since I've seen something this lively.

Each person carried a small stool, keeping their heads hidden, and peered through the gaps in the cane.

Everyone knows about Mrs. Lao Wai's skill level.

Forget about who offended her, just glancing at her at this moment might get you extorted for two eggs.

But when this group of people saw that the other party was Lu Weiguo, they realized that he was Lu Weiguo.

They scratched their heads and lowered them even further.

After all, who in the village hadn't spoken ill of Li Xiulian when Lu Weiguo was away?

"Why can't I control my woman?"

Lu Weiguo didn't respond. He held a shovel in his hand, placed it on the ground, and asked, "What's wrong?"

That old woman, whenever she talks, she can't stop talking about her mother.

They didn't mention these things today, probably because they're afraid of Lu Weiguo.

He was well aware of this.

"How can you control her! That little slut is always running wild, all she does is hook up with the village official! What, you pretty boy, think you have someone backing you up?"

"You don't even greet me properly anymore. What's wrong with you? Even if Officer Zhang helps you, you're just a gigolo who sells his wife!"

Seeing Lu Weiguo's behavior, Old Wai's wife stood a meter away and dared not approach.

But his mouth never stopped.

"She lost her own child and couldn't find him, so she tried to seduce Officer Zhang. Doesn't Officer Zhang look down on her? Only Officer Zhang is kind-hearted."

Anyone else would have complained about how dirty that thing was. How dare you go back to the village? You green-haired turtle, you've put a hat on yourself!

Your spine must be broken! I don't know how the Lu family could have produced such a wretch like you!

These words came out in rapid succession, like a machine gun.

Many villagers were alarmed when they heard this.

This is even more outrageous than what they've been spreading.

If Lu Weiguo takes this seriously...

If they were really blamed, would they still be able to get work from the recycling station?
