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

What makes him so special?!

Zhang Dexing brazenly looked Zhao Yangyang up and down, sizing up his impressive pectoral muscles.

Most of the students in the county school were city dwellers who had never done farm work.

A girl who can't lift anything with her hands or carry anything on her shoulders.

It's rare to find someone like Zhao Yangyang, who has done manual labor since childhood.

Although she looked more robust than those girls, her strength and size were comparable to the visual impact of a volleyball.

It kept many students dreaming about it all night.

Last year, when my classmates got together to visit our teacher.

He also tried to pursue Zhao Yangyang, but she rejected him.

How come, after only a year, she's already chasing after a scumbag gambler?

However, they were classmates before, but now he is the leader of Struggle Village.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dexing smiled.

"Yang Yang is here too. I've been so busy since I arrived that I haven't had a chance to visit you yet."

As an old classmate, you certainly hold a certain position in my eyes, but relationships are relationships, and...

I cannot be like Lu Weiguo, a parasite who harms the collective's interests for his own sake.

"But since you've brought it up, after the referendum, I'll appropriately reduce his punishment."

Zhao Yangyang frowned upon hearing this.

"But...."

"Yang Yang, as an old classmate, you should understand me. Personal relationships are personal relationships; let's talk about this later."

And Xiulian, she must have suffered a lot these past few years marrying that kind of man. We three old classmates should get together and catch up.

Most villagers, upon hearing this, assumed that Zhang Dexing was a fair and just leader.

However, a few people detected a different meaning in their ears.

"I'll tell your mother!"

Just then, Lu Weiguo's gruff voice rang out.

Even if Zhao Yangyang is speaking up for him, let's not talk about Li Xiulian.

Lu Weiguo didn't bother to guess what was going on behind the scenes.

Whether it's colluding in evil or rekindling old flames.

That has nothing to do with him.

But if Zhang Dexing still has his eye on his wife and doesn't say anything, people will really think he's easy to bully!

"Lu Weiguo, you're about to face a public referendum, and you're about to be shot by the police. How dare you spout such nonsense!"

Wu Jian still harbored resentment towards Lu Weiguo for kicking him that day.

Now that someone is backing him up, would Lu Weiguo dare to kick him again?

however!

Something that no one could have predicted.

Lu Weiguo didn't bother with Wu Jian.

What? A dog bites a person? Can a person bite a dog?

Since the dog has started biting people, why not just break its teeth?

Lu Weiguo stepped forward and punched Wu Jian in the face.

Wu Jian, who was already missing a front tooth, now has a perfect symmetry.

It was a powerful and heavy blow, so painful that Wu Jian couldn't even speak.

He covered his bleeding mouth and lay on the ground, sobbing incessantly.

"How dare you! How dare you hit one of our brigade's officers!" Zhang Dexing took a step back, his voice trembling slightly.

"Oh? He's allowed to be foul-mouthed, but I'm not allowed to take action?"

What's going on? Are officials bullying the people and not allowing them to resist?

Ever since Wu Jian became an accountant, he's been shunned by everyone and even dogs.

As soon as Lu Weiguo said this, he instantly gained the support of many villagers.

"You're taking so long to get something done. It's not a big deal, why have you wasted so much time? It's just that my wife was acting like a child at my mother-in-law's house during the day."

I stopped him; now he's settling personal scores?

Lu Weiguo noticed that most of the villagers were looking at him.

Then he started shouting at them.

"What? What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't! I was visiting an old classmate then."

Zhang Dexing felt a little uneasy when he recalled Lu Weiguo's fierce gaze.

"Visiting old classmates? And you even told my mother-in-law you'd introduce me to a wife? You don't even mind if she's been married before?"

Lu Weiguo gave a cold laugh.

"Since you want to settle personal scores and you want a people's referendum, then let's set aside a small area and have a proper chat."

As he spoke, Lu Weiguo walked over to Liu Dazhuang and untied the rope binding Liu Dazhuang's hands.

"I use the oxcart, but I do it for everyone, for the development of our brigade!"

"The development of the brigade? You're nothing! You're only thinking about yourself!" Zhang Dexing seized the opportunity and raised his voice even higher.

"Now the commune encourages the production brigades to make the most of the off-season and utilize all resources to ensure that villagers have enough to eat and wear. How come you, the village cadre, don't know that?"

Lu Weiguo stepped forward and looked directly at Zhang Dexing.

"Know....."

"Great! When villagers are off-season, they can pick mushrooms in the mountains. The purchasing agency will buy them for five cents a pound, and for good quality ones, ten cents a pound."

I borrowed the oxcart from our brigade to go to the county to scout things out. I found out that the county supply and marketing cooperative was buying high-quality hazel mushrooms for at least three cents a pound.

If we collect all the hazel mushrooms together and take them to the county to sell in a oxcart!

Wouldn't you call this doing something for the village?

The best quality hazel mushrooms cost eight cents a pound, but Lu Weiguo naturally couldn't tell him all that.

It wasn't that Lu Weiguo wanted to be the middleman.

Rather, the quality of the hazel mushrooms picked by the villagers varied, and not all of them met the standards.

He sells them at a high price because he selects only the best quality hazel mushrooms, all the same size, and they are cleaned thoroughly.

The hazel mushrooms that villagers pick all over the mountains can only fetch three cents a pound, which is already the best they can do.

"What? Those hazel mushrooms are only three cents a pound?"

"The county charges such a high price? I remember when Xiao Sun came to collect from my family, he only paid us two cents per pound."

"Yes, you can sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative yourself? Didn't Xiao Sun say it could only be done through him?"

The elderly in the village are timid and have few opportunities to go to the county town. Even when they do go, they always feel like they are inferior to city dwellers.

I dared not utter another word.

Sun Yifei, who was collecting mountain goods, was a member of the supply and marketing cooperative, a government employee.

Who would have thought he could lie?

"Then...who knows about this? Did you tell the brigade? Then you just lead the cow away!"

Moreover... and today I clearly saw you taking your wife to your mother-in-law's house in an oxcart.

Zhang Dexing, who had always sat in his office, had never seen anything like this before. He noticed that the villagers' attitude had suddenly changed, and they were even starting to slur their words.

"I accept the penalty for not reporting this to the collective, but the relationship with the sales and marketing cooperative has been established, and there will be one last chance to purchase hazelnut mushrooms before the end of the year."

All the high-quality hazel mushrooms from the village can be transported to the county town by oxcart to be sold!

For the sake of everyone, I'll accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate!

If you were a scheming businessman in your past life, how could you not explain this little problem?

Moreover, since it's a referendum by everyone, we should listen to everyone's opinion.

Compared to empty promises, real money is more likely to win over the villagers' support.

"Three cents? Weiguo, you're not lying, you can't make this up."

Lu Dewang, who was already prepared to pick up a brick and fight Zhang Dexing to the death to rescue his son, asked loudly.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not lying. But the workmanship and size have to meet the standards. If it's not this price, I'll work like a slave for everyone!"

"Damn! Three cents, that's enough to buy my life! Weiguo is really awesome!" One of Lu Dewang's buddies shouted when he saw Lu Weiguo's certainty.

"Yes, so Wei Guo was doing this for everyone's sake. What's the point of punishing him then?"

"Luckily, I didn't sell it when Xiao Sun came to buy it a few days ago. Damn it, otherwise I would have lost at least four or five yuan."

"My goodness, it's only 30 cents a pound! This year we can have a good New Year, at least we can buy some cheap lamb offal to eat."

"We're right to defend the country! It's a waste to just leave the oxcart there unused!"
