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

Anyone who has smoked knows that cheap cigarettes are probably not very strong.

But it chokes your throat.

Lu Weiguo, the observer and commissioner Zhang, made a direct and dramatic remark.

He gulped down half of it in one go, then squinted his eyes, like a little fire dragon, and spat out a long mouthful.

His appearance and expression were a mix of enjoyment and bewilderment!

This looks like the work of a seasoned smoker.

After waiting a full minute for him to calm down, she relaxed and half-reclined in the chair before speaking: "Xiao Lu, I've heard so much about you, not from the provincial party committee's briefing, but from a letter my cousin wrote to me. To be honest, I think it's fine for young people to have a bit of a temper, but the problem is, you have the drive of a young person..."

But you acted like an old man, very ruthless, which is a bit inappropriate.

"Commissioner Zhang."

Just as Lu Weiguo was about to speak, Commissioner Zhang raised his hand to stop him.

At first, I thought it was just some petty squabbles among you young people. Everyone's been young once, and every man has blood on his hands, so I didn't bother, and I couldn't be bothered.

Even Zhang Dexing, that beast, tried to harm your family. It wasn't until then that I realized you two had gone too far.

Commissioner Zhang glanced at Lu Weiguo and saw that he had narrowed his eyes and was already in a defensive posture.

He burst out laughing.

"You little rascal, your family is the most important thing to you, huh? A person like that is loyal and righteous, I wasn't wrong about you. That's why you beat that beast Zhang Dexing up like that."

I didn't interfere before, and I won't interfere now. It's not because I'm magnanimous or selfless, but because he broke the rules first.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo recalled what had happened and then thought of the human trafficker who had kidnapped Lu Jiacheng.

That was the only time I truly hurt him.

Anyone with eyes wouldn't waste words; at this moment, he felt that Zhang Dexing's beating was entirely justified.

He previously thought that Wang Defa was the mastermind behind everything.

Upon taking a look, I realized it was Zhang Dexing!

Damn it, I should have just killed that beast!

But it's not too late now.

"Hey! Don't get any bad ideas, kid. Some things are best left in the past. Of course, I'm not warning you, I'm just discussing this with you."

After Commissioner Zhang finished speaking, his gaze seemed to pierce through Lu Weiguo's heart.

She just stared straight at him.

Lu Weiguo knew that they were waiting for his reply.

Whether his purpose this time is to act as a peacemaker or he really has something important to discuss.

But Lu Weiguo's attitude determined the course of everything.

If he doesn't agree with this peacemaker, then it really will be a fight to the death.

This person must have investigated him before coming and knew his temperament, which is why he spoke so frankly.

But if you agree...

"Xiao Lu, let me tell you this in advance. I'm not saying you have to back down, but if that kid doesn't keep bothering you, then let bygones be bygones."

But if you continue to cause trouble, I still won't get involved in what happens next. As long as you don't cross any lines or violate the law, that's your private matter!

"Commissioner Zhang, I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo's lips curled into a smile.

I've already made up my mind.

"You little rascal, you're up to no good again, but you're smart, which I like. If my cousin had that kind of brain, he'd be sitting next to me right now."

really!

Lu Weiguo then said, "Oh."

How could someone with a cousin who was a provincial-level official have arranged for Zhang Dexing to go to Fendou Village as part of a rural relocation program?

This is clearly a path arranged for him that leads directly to the Heavenly Court.

It's likely that Commissioner Zhang knew about the reform pilot program in advance, which is why Zhang Dexing was assigned to the position, as long as he could help.

As long as Zhang Dexing doesn't make any mistakes, he can definitely advance several levels by taking advantage of the results of the reform pilot program.

Just like him now.

"Am I superfluous?"

Now that things were out in the open, Lu Weiguo felt much more relaxed.

The weight that had been hidden in my heart has been lifted.

Fendou Village in Danjiang County is not only his home, but also the place he has always wanted to build.

Moreover, this is the home of the elderly people in the family.

Many elderly people, after they grow old, have only one thought: to return to their hometown.

But now, because of his situation, the four elderly people in his family have been forced to move away from their hometown.

He felt uncomfortable too.

He felt deeply guilty towards the elderly in his family.

"Not at all. If it weren't for that beast, I wouldn't have discovered such a talented person as you. To be honest, the main reason I came here this time was to see you."

Your reform ideas are unique, insightful, and visionary. If possible, I'd like to have a good chat with you about it.

This unique perspective isn't something you're born with.

"Let's eat first, and then..."

Lu Weiguo tried asking.

"Don't rush to eat, you won't starve to death in one meal." This one sentence alone reveals Commissioner Zhang's attitude towards his work.

Lu Weiguo nodded in agreement. Through the back-and-forth probing, he realized that this person was not faking it.

"Liu Mei, Liu Xia, tell Yu Hong that the food is still warm in the pot, there's no rush to serve it. Also, call Zhao Kaishan in, and oh, and bring a bottle of Zhao Family Village's grain liquor."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei and Liu Xia obediently nodded.

"Your woman?"

"Um?"

"You little rascal, that girl's eyes are practically drooling over you. But let me tell you, if you want to achieve great things, don't waste all your energy on women. It's too much of a drain on your mind."

Commissioner Zhang seemed to have a deep understanding of this.

"What are you doing...?"

"I don't have your body. I can't even handle one old woman at home. Give me another cigarette. Just thinking about that old woman makes me angry. I don't even want to go home now."

You know, I'm just a specialist. Outside, I'm considered a leader, but when I get home, after cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning, my wife constantly uses her authority as a female cadre to intimidate me.

My wife is a whirlwind outside, capable of anything, no matter how tough or tiring. But when she comes home and sees me...

They said that my work was for exercise, but her work was disrespectful to women.

I said something to her and she accused me of looking down on women. She replied that I was just supervising and helping men.

Lu Weiguo was stunned when he heard this. Anyway, Zhao Kaishan hadn't come in yet, so it wasn't time to talk about serious matters.

But, isn't Zhang's sister-in-law the first batch of venture capitalists for Little Blue Book in later generations?

Those "elites" of later generations who wrote the Little Blue Book simply came to the wrong place.

If this were in this era, he would definitely be able to command a large following and come to understand himself through labor.

After all, Zhang's wife only takes care of the men at home, and she can also work like a man outside.

He remembered that around this time, women in Russia had also shouted similar slogans.

The Russians are relatively democratic; once the slogan is out there, they'll earn money and work like men.

As a result, dozens of women went to work in coal mines, factories, logging, and other jobs.

In less than a week, the slogan was no longer chanted.
