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

"Now you understand? It's not that our forest farm doesn't care, it's that we really can't. This family is so shameless, it's rare to see such a family."

Let alone us, even the police can't do anything with them. I heard from the forestry police before that this family treats going to the station like it's home.

You should answer any questions honestly; at worst, they'll lock you up.

They'll provide food and lodging even while you're locked up; they don't care about that. Once you're out, everything will be the same as before. See how directly they can talk about selling their daughter?

Such shamelessness! I've lived most of my life and never seen anything like it.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo nodded helplessly.

But some things, once said, must be done.

He's not a good person; he can break promises made to the living.

But he had to keep his promise to the dead.

One person.

If you can't even do this, then you're not human.

"Section Chief Liang, I'll have Old Chen's side detain his whole family for a few more days. That kid was beaten up like that by me; he probably won't be back for at least ten days to two weeks."

Please keep an eye on things here for me; I'll figure out what to do after that.

After Lu Weiguo finished speaking, he turned around and squatted down in front of the young woman.

"I've met Xiao Lü, and he even saved my life. I promised him I'd take care of his wife and children. Besides, if you truly love him, you should stay safe; his children need your care."

You can't just collapse like this. Here's some money for you; it's not a loan, and you don't need to pay it back. It's for the funeral expenses of Magistrate Lü.

He suffered his whole life; now that he's dead, he can't suffer any more.

Many people say that people from Northeast China are particular about showing off.

Especially in matters such as weddings and funerals.

Lu Weiguo didn't have any opinion on how grand a wedding should be.

But funerals must be held in a dignified manner; this is not just for the dead to see.

It's meant for living people.

Especially for families like Xiao Lü's, we must let others see how well Xiao Lü takes care of them.

Even though Xiao Lü is gone, his family hasn't fallen apart.

Lu Weiguo's money was too much for his young wife to handle.

Instead, the wives of the young men who came back with Lu Weiguo to carry Xiao Lü's coffin ran over and took it with both hands.

The forest farm has a relatively strong sense of community, especially among the workers who go up the mountain together to carry timber.

After all, when my husband goes up the mountain, he's gone for the whole winter. Sometimes his missions are so demanding that he can't even come back for the New Year.

These young wives support each other and take care of each other's children.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, brother!"

"We've seen what you've done. Don't worry about Xiao Hao. Use this money for Xiao Lü's funeral; we'll help with the arrangements."

"Yeah, little brother, we've seen what you've done. We can't do what you've done, but we can still take care of her and the child. What family is short of a couple of bowls and chopsticks?"

"..."

Lu Weiguo turned around and glanced at Section Chief Liang.

He nodded.

He agreed and got up to walk towards the door.

We've had such good days for too long, we can't stand seeing this kind of scene.

But he wanted to help, and he was determined to help. He had to find a way to stop her family from bothering her again.

. . . . .

After saying goodbye to Erdaohuzi Forest Farm, Lu Weiguo returned home alone.

Wangcai had already returned the bear paw.

Seeing the bear whip made Old Master Lu very happy.

The older generation enjoys drinking, brewing their own wine, and storing it.

In particular, Lu Weiguo hunted and left behind bear bones, leopard bones, tiger bones, and so on.

Grandpa Lu soaked them all in alcohol and stored them away.

This thing could definitely be passed down as a family heirloom.

He hid the bear whip immediately.

"Wei Guo, you should either not go up the mountain, or you come up with something big. I've already processed these bear paws."

I remember you said you wanted to get something to eat for Xiulian. How do you plan to make this? Or should I just pack it up and mail it to you?

Seeing Lu Baojia busy at work, Lu Weiguo handed him the bear bile as well.

He had given all the previous bear bile to Mrs. Chang, but this bear bile was of good quality, so he wanted to keep it.

Bear bile has anti-inflammatory properties and is especially good for the eyes.

Li Xiulian studied every day, and the lights weren't very bright in those days, so he thought of bringing her a device to improve her eyesight.

Yes!

I will personally take him there.

"Brother, please get the bear bile ready for me tonight. I want... I want to deliver it to Xiulian myself."

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Lu Baojia almost dropped the kitchen knife in his hand.

"You're going to go there yourself? That's so far! You... are you sure you can manage?"

"If she can go by herself, why can't I? Besides, I'm a grown man."

At that time, going to a county town was considered quite a far trip.

In some areas where there is no railway, many elderly people have never seen a train in their entire lives.

If you can go to the provincial capital, that would be considered incredibly lucky.

Rural people cannot change this mindset, nor are they willing to change it.

Seeing his younger brother's current state, Lu Baojia suddenly realized what was going on: "You should have said so earlier! Don't worry about the bear bile and bear paws, I'll definitely take care of them for you tomorrow morning."

As for those pheasants, let's not eat them. I'll prepare them, make them a little salty, so they can keep for a few more days. You hurry up and buy the tickets!

Lu Weiguo smiled and nodded.

Actually, he didn't want to go at first, but when he saw Xiao Lü's wife facing life and death, he was very disappointed.

The first thing that came to his mind was Li Xiulian from his previous life.

Perhaps she was just as desperate in her past life.

The news that Lu Weiguo was going to visit Li Xiulian quickly spread throughout the family.

Even Li Guangrong found out immediately.

This is a big deal; everyone wants to lend a hand, even if they're poor.

In the afternoon, Li Guangrong rode his bicycle, dragging Wu Guifen and Lu Jiacheng along, to Fendou Village.

They brought over a whole bag of food and drinks.

When Lu Jiacheng heard that he could see his mother, he jumped higher than the roof.

But.....

"Mom? You told him?"

"That's all your dad's fault! He can't even keep his mouth shut!"

Wu Guifen pulled Li Guangrong over by the ear.

"Tell me what to do! Look at Jia Cheng's expression. If we tell him we're not taking him, will he be able to handle it?" Wu Guifen was so angry that she almost got her ear pulled by Li Guangrong.

"My dear in-law, the child is just a little kid; he'll be fine in a few days."

Lu's mother came over to mediate, but she hesitated when she thought about how terribly troubled Lu Jiacheng was.

I'm really worried that this little brat won't be able to recover in time.

"Jiacheng, it's hard to say. Jiahuan is young and doesn't understand anything, so it's fine if she doesn't go. But Jiacheng has been sensible since he was little, and he's very thoughtful; he keeps everything to himself."

"If we say we won't take him..." Before Wu Guifen could finish speaking...

Lu Weiguo looked at his son and suddenly smiled.

"Then let's go! Who says we can't bring the kids! Jia Huan is too young, let her stay home. I'll take care of Jia Cheng; he's practically a little adult."

They can also help me carry my things.
