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

Chapter 336 Saying No

Lu Weiguo was covered in the numbing smell of Sichuan peppercorns.

It was as if God had struck out with a bolt of lightning, from head to toe.

Even the old wrinkles on his feet were chopped off.

He had heard of people forming partnerships and living together as a couple.

I've never heard of a father sending a woman to be his mistress.

But this old man Zhao has managed to stay in Fendou Village for so many years without having a bad reputation.

Moreover, he remained aloof from the world, neither too close nor too distant from any of the villagers.

Could someone like that be so simple to see?

"Uncle Zhao, stop joking. Even if it were just the two of us men, or even if I were all alone, I wouldn't dare to think about such things!!"

Stop joking around, let's not say things like that anymore. Yang Yang is a young, unmarried woman; wouldn't it be better for her to find a good man to marry?

After downing two glasses of baijiu, he was already a little tipsy.

But now, he is more clear-headed than anyone else.

Afraid of saying the wrong thing, Aunt Zhao, who had been eavesdropping behind the door, came over with a kitchen knife.

"Little Lu, you look so honest and straightforward, why are you so dishonest?"

Old Zhao frowned and glared; his wrinkled face was so thick it could trap a mosquito.

He slapped Lu Weiguo hard on the back and pulled him into the house!

"Get lost! You three old women, go out and have some fun. Men are talking, don't eavesdrop!"

Halfway there, Old Zhao tricked the three women out with just one sentence.

Finally, he closed the door, leaving the three women to chat outside.

Old Zhao picked up his wine glass, downed a small glass of liquor, and then sighed.

"Little brat, you... well, I don't care if you mean it or not, but I understand what you mean."

But look at you now, the whole village is saying that Yang Yang and you are having an affair. Some say she's even giving him money, others say there's something going on between you two.

If something really happens, that's fine, but it seems like nothing's wrong... .

An old father's heart is hidden in the smallest details.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo's gaze towards Grandpa Zhao changed.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have gone to his house and made a scene by now.

In villages, especially rural areas, a young girl's innocence is not something she can decide for herself.

It was born from gossip and idle chatter.

Whether you're innocent or not, once you're labeled a bitch, you'll never be able to wash it off for the rest of your life.

This is why Lu Weiguo was so angry when he heard people talking about Li Xiulian.

It's already quite remarkable that Grandpa Zhao could still calmly discuss things with him.

If it were him, and Lu Jiahuan was being talked about like this, it would probably cause an uproar throughout the entire village.

"This isn't good; it's definitely unfair to Zhao Yangyang. And this is also..."

"It's not your fault. I'm just old. I'm not blind. It might sound harsh to say that my daughter is paying me to be with her, but that's the truth, and I know it."

So I'm asking you seriously today: if you really feel it's a good fit, it wouldn't be bad for Zhao Yangyang to follow you in the future.

I don't want a title, I don't want children, and I don't want money. You're no ordinary boy; you'll leave the village sooner or later. I'm not afraid of what others will say if I follow you.

As long as you treat my daughter well, that's all that matters.

If... you don't have that intention, then you're too kind as to cut off contact during the two years she's at the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University.

There are so many outstanding boys at that university; what if you find someone you like?

Old Zhao finished speaking with a pleading tone.

There's a saying that's true: all a father wants is for his wife to be happy.

Without the obligation to carry on the family line, the daughter had the opportunity to choose for herself.

But the person chosen must be a good person.

"I understand, Uncle Zhao. Let her go to university then. She'll study for two years, and in her third year, we'll arrange a job internship. If you have connections, you can arrange it somewhere farther away."

If it's not a problem and you can ask someone for help, I can help too. Since we're far away, it'll probably be fine then.

If it's just about indulging in sexual pleasures...

Honestly, no one could resist a beauty like Zhao Yangyang.

Lu Weiguo himself wasn't a good person either.

There are also several women around him with unclear relationships.

However, only Zhao Yangyang couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

His alarm clock has been haunting him lately with memories of his past life.

Although this woman changed a lot in her life, she also helped her a lot.

But the thorn in my heart could never be removed.

"With you saying that, I'm relieved. But once my daughter has made up her mind, it's not easy to change it. For now, let him stay with you."

As long as it's not too excessive, it's a good opportunity for her to have some fun before starting school.

The meal was incredibly exciting.

This old man's thoughts are harder to fathom than a woman's.

Even the last few words, he couldn't understand what they meant.

On the way home, the moon was bright and the stars were few. Every household had turned off their lights to save some kerosene.

Li Xiulian, arm in arm with Lu Weiguo, looked up, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Honey, what did you say about Yang Yang?"

"You know?" Lu Weiguo replied with a smile, after all, he was completely innocent in Zhao Yangyang's eyes.

He wouldn't have been so open with other women.

Sigh... Men only behave after they've been castrated.

"Yes, Yang Yang told me everything."

"Aren't you angry?" Lu Weiguo asked curiously.

"I'm not angry, but I'm not angry either, because I know what my husband will choose."

Li Xiulian sighed, a smile on her face, but her hand still secretly touched the soft flesh of Lu Weiguo's waist.

"Then why did you ask?"

"I'm just confirming it."

"It's just what you think. But Grandpa Zhao said that you should let your good friend spend more time with us during this period. Once you two are in college, Yangyang won't be allowed to come back to the village."

These words were spoken.

Li Xiulian was still a little sentimental.

I've been married into Fendou Village for almost six years now.

In addition, there were the years I spent in school.

Their friendship of over ten years is closer than that of blood sisters.

She was a little reluctant to be separated from him all of a sudden.

"Then tell me... if... we didn't separate..."

"Honey! Don't give me any nonsense. Uncle Zhao has already tested me once, so don't cause any trouble."

Lu Weiguo smacked her nose, then, taking advantage of the dim moonlight...

He pushed Li Xiulian behind a big tree.

He lowered his head and forcefully kissed her.

"Ugh...no...there's someone here..."
