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

The two couldn't come up with a good solution.

Zhao Kaishan prepared to continue the discussion at the meeting and to promote the term "one-size-fits-all" at the meeting.

Now that the Qian family has stepped down, the entire Danjiang County has united as one, with everyone working towards the same goal.

The sedan chair was carried by many people, which is a much better practice than before.

However, his personal abilities are indeed much lacking.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; a county-level unit has managed to become a pioneer in the reform pilot program.

This is an honor that hasn't been seen for many years.

Fortunately, Lu Weiguo still had some influence, even though the Zhao family's collective enterprise application was not approved.

But Grandpa Zhao still actively cooperated with the land distribution to individual households, and the entire Danjiang County was thriving.

On this day, Huang He, who had been missing for a long time, returned from the provincial capital, wearing a leather jacket and carrying a leather bag, despite the sweltering heat.

It just so happens that this day is the day Lu Weiguo moves into his new home.

He didn't hold a big celebration; he just invited his mother-in-law's family and his own parents over for a meal.

"Mom and Dad, let's not make a fuss about buying a house yet, and don't go back to the village to tell anyone, okay? Just keep it to ourselves."

At the dinner table, Lu Weiguo repeatedly gave instructions to Lu Dewang and his wife.

Although he knew that secrets don't stay hidden forever, he still wanted to keep this kind of news to himself for as long as possible.

Or perhaps you just built the only brick house in the village with electricity.

Then he bought a house in the county town.

To say I'm not jealous would be a lie.

We are now at a critical juncture in reform.

If they truly harbor rebellious intentions, they are the ones who ultimately harm themselves.

"Okay, I understand, I understand. I'll tell the eldest son and his wife not to say anything. But what if the eldest sister-in-law and her husband come to the county town for business?"

Lu Dewang spoke as if in discussion.

His tone carried a hint of pleading.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo frowned slightly, but then quickly composed himself.

"Mom and Dad, that's a good question. Whether it's my brother or you, if you want to come and stay, then come. This is our home, and this is where the Lu family has its roots in the county."

Sitting to the side, Li Guangrong also sensed that something was off with his in-law.

Holding wine glasses and arms around each other, they started whispering.

Lu Weiguo sighed.

There are some things he, as the son, finds inconvenient to say, and he hopes his father-in-law can help him explain them clearly.

People in later generations may not understand.

Even when their children get married and buy a house, they need the support of their elders. So when the elders see that they can buy a house in a bigger city, they are eager to help their children.

I feel only relief.

But the Lu family was different; Lu Dewang was a farmer his whole life.

Deep down, I felt like a country bumpkin, inferior to people from the city.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been afraid that Li Xiulian would dislike the peasant look on him and his wife when they married into his family.

They insisted that Lu Weiguo and his wife separate and live independently.

Shu Ruizhi, who also married into the village, did not have this worry.

But now, Lu Weiguo has bought his own house in the county, which means he has put down roots in the county town.

He became a true city dweller.

His deep-seated inferiority complex led him to speak in a consultative tone for the first time.

This stubborn old man, who had been obstinate his whole life, now had to bow his head and discuss things with his son.

Lu Weiguo felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Watching the two children running and playing in the yard, he drank a little wine by himself.

"Oh, congratulations!! Big brother, look what I brought you back!!"

No one knows where Huang He heard the news, but he rushed in carrying two woven bags, wearing a leather jacket, and shaking his head.

In the middle of summer, he was wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses.

Sweat streamed down his forehead.

But he just wouldn't take off that leather jacket.

"How did you find this place? And what are you wearing..."

"Oh, never mind, these are all things that are popular in big cities."

Lu Weiguo watched as Huang He began distributing gifts to everyone, including leather jackets, leather bags, and leather belts.

A buzzing sound came to my mind.

What is this thing?

Is this really Huang He, the one who ran off with his sister-in-law? Does he really like leather stuff that much?

"Hehe, uncles and grandpas, just wear it. It's really not expensive. It's all fake, but the craftsmanship in the South is really good; it looks just like the real thing."

"This thing might fool others, but it might fool me? Don't you even know what I do for a living?"

Huang He emptied all the gifts from the woven bag.

Anyway, it's not anything good.

Upon hearing that the price was not high, everyone accepted the gifts.

However, none of them were as fierce as Huang He.

I just held it in my hand to see how it differed from real fur.

"Big brother, you're wearing the real stuff, so I won't give you these fakes, hehe."

After Huang He finished dividing the goods, he walked over, scratching his head.

"How's it going with the thing I asked you to inquire about?"

"Brother, let's go inside and talk."

Huang He pulled Lu Weiguo into the house, where they saw a picture of the great man posted on the door.

"My goodness, looking at this great man, I really dare to say it."

Huang He bowed respectfully.

He glanced outside and, seeing no one was paying attention, whispered, "I found the person. Just as you guessed, he really is the regional commissioner."

He is also the youngest regional administrative commissioner in the entire Northeast, enjoying the same待遇 (treatment/benefits) as a deputy commissioner; his future is undoubtedly limitless.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo became even more shocked.

Although he had guessed the approximate identity of Zhang Dexing's cousin.

I was also somewhat mentally prepared.

After all, during those years, students who returned from studying at the nation's top universities were more likely to improve their skills.

If there is another opportunity.

For example, being taken a liking to the boss's daughter, or becoming a lackey for some boss.

The promotion is fast, there are no problems.

But which deputy enjoys the same treatment as the head?

There's more to this than meets the eye.

Regional commissioners, in principle, are at the level of a full-fledged government official.

He could only focus on the title of Commissioner of the Administrative Office, which was only at the deputy director level.

This irregular promotion even managed to be discovered by outsiders like Huang He.

Either this person is truly capable.

Either they have some powerful connections.

Lu Weiguo's head throbbed with pain at the thought.

"Brother, look at the state those guys were in! If you ask me, let it go. As long as they don't cause any more trouble, let's just leave it at that."

"That's a really powerful idea. I've heard that leaders at that level can decide the development of a region with just a single sentence. We're just ordinary people."

Huang He was well aware of Lu Weiguo's thoughts.

I also know Lu Weiguo's character.

"Besides, we haven't suffered any losses yet."

Seeing that Lu Weiguo didn't speak, Huang He muttered something under his breath.

"Huang He, let me teach you a lesson today." Lu Weiguo patted Huang He on the shoulder, "If someone punched you for no reason and then said to you, 'If you punch me back, we're even,' would you hit them?"

Huang He nodded. "Of course, one punch from each person and we're even."

"Huang He, this isn't even. You didn't intend to hit anyone; you were injured for no reason. You are innocent. He is the perpetrator. He was on guard, but the damage he caused you is irreversible. Only when he suffers a thousand times, ten thousand times, more harm will it be even."

He hurt the person Liu Dazhuang cared about most, and he also wanted to hurt the person I cared about most. Only by hurting the person he cared about most could it be considered fair.
