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

Lu Weiguo was fulfilling his duties at the guesthouse.

But Yu Hong was simply on vacation.

On the first day, we had a stew of mixed fish in an iron pot for dinner.

The next day, we ate tofu soup for dinner.

On the third day, we had frog stew with potatoes for dinner.

For three consecutive days, Yu Hong's belly swelled up from all the food she was given.

He was getting more and more used to rural life. After finishing his meal, he would collapse on the earthen bed, rubbing his stomach and waiting for Lu Weiguo to brew some tea.

"Hey grandma, aren't you going to work? It's been days and you're still not leaving."

"You haven't caught a moose yet, have you? Go back after you catch a moose!" Yu Hong showed no intention of leaving.

Having lived for over thirty years, these past few days have been the safest and most comfortable she's ever felt.

"That's still a long way off; we might not even catch them yet."

Lu Weiguo shrugged, wondering how he had ended up with such a leader.

They said they'd stay at his house and stay there.

Even chasing them is inconvenient!

"If you can't catch me, I'll stay here. Don't worry, your monthly salary of seventy-odd yuan is enough to support me."

If that's not enough, I have a few thousand dollars in savings. Don't worry about spending it; you can spend it until I die.

Honestly, with current prices, a few thousand yuan is enough to last for decades.

But he knew that prices would rise rapidly in just a few years.

Let alone decades, even a few years might not be enough.

They both knew they were joking.

"Alright, let's go up the mountain tomorrow. I saw moose tracks on the mountaintop today."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hong, who should have been happy, suddenly changed her expression.

However, she quickly composed herself and asked in a low voice, "You really want me to leave?"

"puff!!"

Lu Weiguo, who had just taken a sip of tea, immediately spat it out.

Is this what's going on?

It's as if the two of them are having an affair.

Three days!!

For three nights in a row, you've been naked in bed!

In addition, there's that scent about you that inspires a desire to break free.

Do you know how I got here?!

If he keeps at it, he'll be able to make even the old sows at the farmers' market look pretty!

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Tomorrow is the last day. Whether we catch it or not, we're going home."

Perhaps even God heard their conversation.

Before midnight, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky.

First, frosty snowflakes pattered against the glass.

Then came the heavy snowfall, like goose feathers.

Yu Hong was woken up halfway through her sleep by the freezing temperature inside the room.

Once you put on your clothes, you'll see this absolutely stunning snow scene.

"So beautiful~"

A soft exclamation startled Lu Weiguo, who was watching the snow.

"Yes, it's so beautiful~"

Lu Weiguo stared at the snowflakes, completely absorbed.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, like pure white little sprites, and began to melt the moment they touched you.

Just as something tainted by the dust of the world loses its purity.

Dirty means destroyed.

"The snowflakes are so clean, I'm so envious."

Yu Hong walked to Lu Weiguo's side and gently leaned on his shoulder.

Standing at around 1.74 meters tall, with his head tilted to the side, his height perfectly matched that of Lu Weiguo.

"Yes, but the falling snowflakes aren't clean."

"That's just how the world is. Only at the moment of birth are we clean, and then we're full of filth." Yu Hong spoke as if it were her own experience. "Would you still like a woman whose body isn't clean?"

"If the blankets get dirty, just wash them. What's the big deal?"

Lu Weiguo seemed oblivious to romance, or perhaps he said it on purpose.

This immediately pulled Yu Hong back from her nostalgic thoughts.

"You little brat, how come you have so many women around you! Do you have some special talent?!"

As Yu Hong spoke, she glanced down at herself.

After all, she already knew about the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.

She couldn't believe that Lu Weiguo's abilities were different from what she thought, given that he could completely conquer a woman in her thirties who was like a wolf.

"Yes, she is exceptionally intelligent, exceptionally good-looking, and exceptionally charming."

Lu Weiguo said with a smile, then took off his clothes and draped them over Yu Hong.

"The idea that it's not cold when it snows but cold when it melts is nonsense. It's based on common physics. The temperature is below zero now, so wearing some clothes won't be enough."

"Sit down on the recliner and cover your legs. I'll go make a pot of hot tea."

Under the eaves.

A wooden table was placed between two recliners.

Each person holds a cup of tea in their palm.

It's quite pleasant to watch the snowflakes falling all over the sky.

"Weiguo, thank you. I've had a very happy few days," Yu Hong said, seemingly out of nowhere.

Lu Weiguo grunted in agreement but didn't dare to respond.

"You should have inquired about my background. I'm not from a wealthy or powerful family, and I was even once less well-off than your twin lovers."

Lu Weiguo licked his lips. Twin little lovers, those words sounded pretty good.

"Later I met Qian Yunshan, who wanted to be my sugar daddy, but I didn't agree. Later, her son found out about our close relationship."

Although nothing actually happened, his son spread the rumor that I was the mistress.

As Yu Hong spoke, she closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to face what happened during that time.

"You know, some things, once said, become true even if they're not. Since everyone says I'm a mistress, then I am that mistress."

I started asking for things without restraint, but I didn't want useless things like bicycles or TVs.

Instead, he asked for a job and started as a waiter at a guesthouse.

Yu Hong's voice grew increasingly cold, reflecting on an era when leaders took the lead in using public funds for lavish meals and acted with impunity.

With her increasingly alluring demeanor, she managed to stand out from the group of waiters.

"I know Qian Yunshan was pulling strings behind the scenes, but I was involved too! Spreading rumors about someone's mistress is still spreading rumors."

Spreading rumors about a group of people being mistresses is still spreading rumors! In the end, every woman in the government compound would call me a bitch whenever she saw me!

So what? I'm still the director of the guesthouse. Even if Qian Yunshan is dead, no one can shake my position!

"Awesome!" Lu Weiguo said simply and directly, showing the utmost respect.

But these words left Yu Hong, who was still feeling sentimental, completely bewildered.

"That's it?"

"Then what should I say? Should I pretend to care, hug you, comfort you, and pity you? Is that what you want?"

Lu Weiguo chuckled, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Honestly, it's not that I'm cold-blooded, but what's a little hardship compared to succeeding? Once you become the director, will you still hear those insults? You can't,"

At least they won't say it to your face like they used to, isn't that enough?

"But this is the greatest insult a woman can receive."

"No, if you want to succeed, you have to stop seeing yourself as a woman. When you stand in a position of power and look down on these people, you'll find that their voices are very small."

All of that is insignificant; only tangible benefits, things held in one's own hands, are truly important.
