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

"That's not true, it's all just rumors. Your wife is in the village, how could she be bullied?"

"Yes, don't you know our village? We're all one big family. During that time, the whole village helped you find your child and was thinking of ways to help!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo had nothing to say.

indeed.

Although he wasn't here, he kept in touch with Lao Liu.

The police in Lao Liu's area were short-handed, so the entire village spontaneously organized a search in the nearby mountains and forests.

In particular, these uncles and aunts almost put aside all their work to help.

Some even leave their children with the elderly.

Some even leave their children at home.

They risked having their children abducted as well.

"Why."

Lu Weiguo sighed.

This is the village environment.

When one family is in trouble, the whole village truly helps.

However, unlike later generations, there are no entertainment options such as mobile phones and televisions.

The slightest disturbance becomes the source of amusement for the entire village.

It became the topic of conversation for the whole village after dinner.

"Oh my god, my grandson!! Lu Weiguo, you little brat, give me back my grandson!!"

Seeing everyone remain silent, the old woman started yelling and cursing at Lu Weiguo.

Lu Weiguo ignored him, turned around, locked the door, and walked towards Liu Dazhuang's house.

Seeing him leave, Old Mrs. Wai became even more frantic, and her limp disappeared.

They scrambled and stumbled after Lu Weiguo.

But at this point, who would dare let that old, crooked woman say anything more?

It was clear that Lu Weiguo was no longer going to pursue these discussions.

If that old man's wife said a few more words, Lu Weiguo would get so angry that even those oxen couldn't be pulled back.

"Oh dear, old lady, you should go and check on your child."

"You too, you have such a foul mouth, you say all sorts of nonsense to the kids."

"You're just spoiling the child. Spoiling a child is like killing a child. You'll spoil him rotten sooner or later."

"This is just a lesson. If you keep spoiling him, I won't let my child play with him anymore."

"If you have the intention, why don't you go find it? Be careful that lynx doesn't eat your child."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wai looked up and scanned the room, memorizing everyone who had spoken.

Then he picked up his cane and ran towards the grove.

As they say, grandparents love their grandchildren more than their grandchildren. She, who always needed a cane to walk, didn't need it at this moment.

Even if you fall, you can get back up.

The grove wasn't far away, and many people, wanting to see what was going on, followed along.

We arrived at the grove.

The cheeky little boy has been hung on a tree by Wangcai.

Its face and body were covered in Wangcai's paw prints.

Clearly, Wangcai had stopped and was just treating the little boy like a plush toy.

Especially the little boy's hair, there are bald patches here and there.

It was hanging from the tree, crying loudly.

When they saw Mrs. Wai arrive, they didn't even greet her, as if they had been scared out of their wits.

Seeing this scene.

Many villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the person isn't dead, it's just a matter for the village.

Without anyone organizing them, a few people with good legs climbed up the tree and rescued the little boy.

"Waaaaah, I'm scared, I was wrong, please don't eat me, please don't eat me..."

The person was rescued, but their soul remained in the tree.

Even after everyone had taken the little boy home, they kept muttering these words.

Many people have gained a new understanding of Wangcai, who looks like a big cat.

I've been living in the village for so long.

Many people have long regarded it as an ordinary big cat.

Every day, they catch mice and chase away weasels in the village.

If someone sees it, they might tease it and stroke its fur.

But after today, no one dared to approach Wangcai anymore.

A lynx is a lynx; animals from the mountains are naturally wild.

Children weighing forty or fifty pounds can be hung up in trees.

Just like Lu Weiguo, when you don't provoke him, he seems gentle and polite.

They'd lend a hand to anyone in need.

But once you offend him...

The consequences were unimaginable.

. . . . .

the other side.

Li Huifang's home.

Hearing the commotion, Li Huifang waited at the door early.

She was a widow and married two men.

She was able to thrive in the village without anyone calling her a jinx.

This is enough to show that Li Huifang is an extremely intelligent person.

Even without that old hag causing trouble, she was still thinking of taking advantage of a moment when Lu Weiguo was alone to go and explain the situation to him.

Taking this opportunity, she had already calmed Liu Dazhuang down inside the house.

Alone, he faced Lu Weiguo.

"Weiguo, you've come. I... I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but Xiulian has been around, so it wasn't convenient for me. Can you understand?"

Li Huifang pulled Lu Weiguo to the big willow tree.

The two sat on the tree roots, facing Lu Weiguo's scrutinizing gaze.

Li Huifang's eyes were incredibly clear.

"Sister-in-law Huifang, what exactly happened? I want to hear the truth from you," Lu Weiguo asked calmly.

He knew that Li Huifang was a smart person, and that if he were to make a purely personal evaluation without any personal feelings involved...

He had the highest opinion of Li Huifang.

Know shame but not worldliness.

Be reasonable and true to yourself.

That's why he entrusted Liu Dazhuang to her; only someone like her could take care of that big idiot who didn't even understand the value of money.

"Well, Weiguo, the truth isn't what you heard, but you have to promise me you won't act impulsively after hearing it."

There are some people we can't afford to offend. I didn't tell Dazhuang because I wanted to protect him; there are some things Dazhuang doesn't know yet.

Li Huifang began to explain earnestly.

After all, she was also afraid that the decisions she and Widow Liu made would affect the brotherly relationship between Lu Weiguo and her brother.

Lu Weiguo nodded: "Don't worry, I know my brother well. No matter what happens, we won't have any conflicts."

"That's good, that's good. Actually, this is what happened: that day, Xiao Liu and I had just come back from the fields when we saw Jia Huan crying in the yard."

The courtyard gate was locked from the inside; I thought Xiulian had fainted...

Li Huifang recounted the events of that day in their entirety, without any personal feelings mixed in.

That's where her intelligence lies.

Don't let your emotions influence Lu Weiguo's judgment.

She described what she saw and what Widow Liu did.

She repeated Zhang Dexing's words verbatim.

She knew perfectly well that she was just a woman who needed a fool to protect her.

They lack the ability to protect others.

They also lack the ability to cover up the truth.

Only at the very end did she try to explain for Liu Dazhuang: "Weiguo, do you know what Dazhuang is like? He treats you like his own brother, a brother more important than himself."

You didn't come back the other day, and I didn't dare tell him that we were being bullied, nor did I dare tell him that Zhang Dexing was trying to bully Xiulian.

Otherwise, given his temper, he's definitely capable of doing something foolish. I can only tell you this, so please don't blame me; I had no other choice.
