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

"Sister Yuan, is this appropriate?"

It's impossible not to be tempted by 400 yuan versus 250 yuan.

The extra hundred-plus yuan, plus the twenty-plus yuan I had saved before, is definitely enough to have a good New Year.

After that, all the money I earn will be saved up, and after the New Year, I can send Jiacheng to kindergarten in the county.

The rules for going to school at that time were different from those in later generations.

The three years of kindergarten and the five years of primary school are connected together.

Because these were all schools run by state-owned factories, forestry companies, railway companies, etc.

Once you get in, you basically don't need to worry about your studies anymore.

"It's suitable, what's not suitable? Besides, I made quite a bit of money in the process!"

Yuan Mengjie, worried that Lu Weiguo would be concerned, secretly comforted him, "Don't be fooled by how much we've earned; compared to those peddlers, we earn far less."

A relative of mine came from the south a few days ago and said that things have reopened there, and people can do business there.

"Buying a batch of plastic bags from the wholesale market and reselling them to small vendors is profitable; it's not considered speculation anymore!"

Lu Weiguo was naturally aware of this, but the Northeast opened up relatively late, and until the 1990s, many places still required tickets to purchase supplies.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Mengjie is so clever that she actually came up with the idea of ​​dealing with middlemen ahead of time.

"this...."

Lu Weiguo pretended to be scared and kept rubbing his hands together.

Yuan Mengjie was extremely anxious watching this.

Seeing that Lu Weiguo was looking around without saying a word, Yuan Mengjie slapped his butt.

He was so startled that he jumped.

"You country bumpkin, what are you afraid of with me here? Or do you think the price I offered is too low?"

"Why would I complain? It's over a hundred yuan more than what the supply and marketing cooperative charges!!!"

When Yuan Mengjie mentioned the price herself, Lu Weiguo grinned, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You son of a bitch, I've been training eagles all day long, and you, you country bumpkin eagle, have pecked my eye. I'll add another fifty to your score!!"

"Is this okay? If it goes any higher, the risk on my end is too great, and I'm not going to do it!"

"Deal!" Lu Weiguo decided to call it a day.

After all, with Yuan Mengjie as a career path, hunting will be much more profitable in the future!

We can't afford to ruin the business in one fell swoop.

But this mutual tug-of-war must be done, otherwise people will think you're just some kind of fool who can be easily manipulated.

The price of leather will continue to decrease.

After settling the money for the hazelnut mushrooms, Lu Weiguo pulled the cart and followed Yuan Mengjie's directions to the backyard of a dilapidated state-run hotel.

This used to be a guesthouse for forestry workers. Later, the guesthouse was upgraded and replaced with a two-story building. This dilapidated bungalow was then allocated to forestry cadres.

"Yes, this is the room. Just put the hides in this room. By the way, do you know how to skin animals?"

Yuan Mengjie unlocked the door of a small room and glanced inside; there were already quite a few animal pelts.

However, they were mostly rabbits, squirrels, and even a few sandpipers, which are the legendary flying dragons.

But there wasn't a single large animal's fur.

"Yes! Sister Yuan, I'll show you my skills today, I guarantee I'll make you three beautiful and complete sets of tiles! It'll make you look good in front of your relatives in the south!"

So you can earn more too!

"Tch, the more of this stuff you sell me, the more money I make. You're so shrewd for your age. I really don't know how those pretty city girls could possibly be interested in you!"

Seeing that Yuan Mengjie didn't mind the fifty yuan, he knew he had still shortchanged her.

However, a man should not be called small.

Lu Weiguo pulled the dagger from his trouser leg and, while moving the wolf carcass, muttered to himself, "Why did you take a liking to me? I may be young, but my skills and that thing are quite something."

"Pfft!! You're such a braggart! How about I show you what you're really capable of!"

Yuan Mengjie licked her lips, looking even more lecherous than the lazybones in the village.

Startled, Lu Weiguo hurriedly fled, which made Yuan Mengjie burst into laughter again!

In the end, the only sound in the room was the sound of a knife blade cutting through flesh.

Having earned an extra two hundred yuan, Lu Weiguo was on high alert.

The knife moved with incredible speed and precision, as if it were the work of a master craftsman, even perfectly carving out the wolf's head.

This is a skill that can't be found here.

Apart from the Oroqen people in the Greater Khingan Mountains, no one else knows this kind of technology.

It was just past noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

That warm feeling couldn't compare to the warmth of the four hundred and fifty yuan I held in my chest.

Four hundred and fifty yuan!

Three wild wolves are only worth that much money?!

That wolf pack must have at least a dozen wolves; if you count them, there was only one wolf pack.

Let alone sending the child to the county to work in the snow, it would be more than enough to buy a house in the county using the mother-in-law's name!

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, the wolf king, who was eating the corpse of his companion, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly had a female wolf cub lie down next to him to warm him up.

. . . . . .

"Mom! I'm here again! Look what I brought you this time."

Wealthy sons-in-law are more likely to come to your door.

This time, Lu Weiguo didn't even knock; he just pushed the door open and went in.

"Hey, who's here again, trying to freeload? Do you think this is your own home?"

Li Xiuhe remained as deadbeat as ever, but when she looked up and saw the half-eaten pork that Lu Weiguo was carrying on his back...

They immediately changed their tune.

"Oh dear! What is this?! A son-in-law is like half a son? You're not right to say that. You are the entire son of the Li family."

"Just leave the meat in the yard, you hurry inside!!"

Without even asking where the meat came from, they quickly took it and unloaded it in the yard, afraid that Lu Weiguo would carry the meat away again.

"Wild boar meat?"

Wu Guifen walked out of the house wearing arm sleeves, and the smell was immediately noticeable as soon as she moved her nose.

"I always said, Mom, your nose is amazing, even better than the dogs in our village."

Lu Weiguo stepped forward and straddled Wu Guifen's arm, feeling just like he was with his own son.

"Get out of my way! What, from now on, you'll hold my hand when we go up the mountain, and I'll help you find prey!"

Wu Guifen didn't tolerate him and kicked him into the house.

Just then, I saw the stone mill, which was a little bigger than the iron basin.

Li Guangrong was bending over, wiping the stone mill clean with a rag!

"You've come at the right time. Take this thing back with you. Let me tell you, this thing is harder to handle than a gun."

You're not even as good as you used to be, just loafing around doing nothing. I've lost all my face these past few days!

"mom!"

Seeing that Wu Guifen wasn't giving him a friendly look, he became even more eager to get closer to her.

He massaged her legs and rubbed her back until he saw his third daughter secretly cut half of the wild boar meat and take it back to her own home. Only then did he show a kind expression.

"Not angry? Your third sister treated you like that?"

"Why are you angry? Xiulian said she was sending the meat, so you can divide it however you want. Besides, aren't you waiting for her to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Guifen's approval of Lu Weiguo increased even further.

I never expected that my seemingly simple-minded son-in-law would become so clever.
