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

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh"

When the rooster crows, the yang energy is restored.

The Lu family's old residence.

"What? You're really going to build a house? Or is it just rumors from the villagers? And a brick house at that? Are you crazy?"

After Lu Weiguo finished speaking, Lu Dewang dropped the pipe that was hanging from his mouth.

Liu Yuqin, who was sitting next to her, also opened her mouth wide, and the old lady's wrinkled face was stretched out.

"Yes, it's that open space at the entrance of our village. The village chief has applied for all the necessary paperwork, including our property certificate."

Although it hasn't been stamped yet, the village's resident cadre has already affixed its seal.

Lu Weiguo took out four documents, two of which were his and two of which were Liu Dazhuang's.

Shu Ruizhi, who had been eavesdropping at the door, heard this and could no longer sit still.

He suddenly pushed the door open and barged in.

He picked up the four pieces of paper and began to read them.

At that time, there were no property ownership certificates, and the land belonged to the public.

The house and land certificates are just two pieces of paper stamped with an official seal.

"Wow, that old man is something else. This is some serious generosity; he's even building a new house for a fool."

They didn't even get a house for their own parents. You never know what life will be like for someone like that.

Shu Ruizhi read the words clearly and began to mock them in a sarcastic tone.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Did you eat less of the meat that Weiguo sent?" Liu Yuqin said.

The father-in-law cannot speak out, but the mother-in-law can side with her youngest son.

"Mom! What's wrong with me eating a little more? Isn't my baby from the Lu family? Now you're complaining about me eating too much? Why didn't you say so when I was pregnant?!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Ruizhi instantly flew into a rage.

With her hands on her hips and her big belly sticking out, she almost bumped into Liu Yuqin's face.

In particular, Shu Ruizhi's belly was already showing, with a pointed front.

According to the older generation, she was definitely carrying a boy.

Before the child was born, Shu Ruizhi's status was comparable to that of a retired emperor ruling from behind the curtain.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, calm down. Getting angry will harm your health. That's not what I meant." Liu Yuqin was at her wit's end.

Without saying a word, he was about to get up and comfort Shu Ruizhi.

"Hey, why shouldn't I speak up! Since Weiguo's here today, I'm going to make things clear!"

Shu Ruizhi waved her hand, stopping Liu Yuqin.

With a quick blink of his eyes, his somewhat swollen face revealed two tears.

"Li Xiulian is your daughter-in-law, so why am I not! Just because she's from the city, you took out your savings to build Weiguo a new house!"

We can only live with you and take care of you on weekdays, doing your laundry and cooking. Wei Guo and his wife have come a few times!

And during the time Weiguo was gambling, our family always lacked potatoes and cornmeal. Don't think I didn't know; you guys were secretly helping him and his wife out!

"What? Just because Lu Baojia is the boss, does that mean he has to suffer such a huge loss!"

Shu Ruizhi was telling the truth, and the three members of the Lu family couldn't refute her when they sat together.

She just said quite a bit less.

When the eldest son married her, the bride price and dowry were all included.

Shu Ruizhi even took all of these back to her family home.

The things in their new house were all purchased little by little with the help of the elderly couple.

When Lu Weiguo got married, he didn't receive any betrothal gifts or dowry because he built a new house.

In reality, the value difference isn't that much.

Just as Liu Yuqin was about to explain, Lu Weiguo stopped his mother.

The older generation usually had five, seven, or eight children.

They don't really value having children that much; if the baby is healthy, they raise it; if it is, they abandon it.

Since we have many children, we don't care about one or two more.

However, Lu Weiguo, who had experience from later generations, knew that pregnant women were just like that.

It's good to vent, and besides, Sister-in-law Shu Ruizhi isn't a bad person at heart.

They just have their own ulterior motives.

Seeing that the three members of the Lu family were all intimidated by her, Shu Ruizhi revealed a smug look on her face.

However, after a brief moment, she still had a long face.

"Dad, Mom! Weiguo! It's not that I'm being unreasonable as your sister-in-law. I don't mind taking care of you, and I know that after the baby is born..."

My parents can help take care of it, but...

But look at our dilapidated house, either a piece of plaster is missing or a tile is missing, it's not safe for the child to be born.

And look at the Wei family, they have both a son and a daughter, what excellent feng shui that is!

As Shu Ruizhi said this, her gaze was fixed on Lu Weiguo.

If Lu Weiguo still couldn't understand at this point, then he would have lived in vain.

"Sister-in-law, you're right. The baby is about to be born, and as its uncle, I really should give a gift."

Besides, I won't live in the old house anymore after I finish building the new one.

Hearing Lu Weiguo say this, Shu Ruizhi's face lit up with a big smile!

But what he said next stunned the three people in the room.

"However..." Lu Weiguo paused for a moment after saying this.

"However, sister-in-law, I don't plan to give that house to you."

"What?! Third brother, what do you mean?!"

A peony instantly transformed into a chrysanthemum.

Shu Ruizhi, hands on her hips, almost jumped up!

"Yes, Weiguo! Talk to me properly! Look how upset your sister-in-law is!"

After holding his breath for a long time, Lu Dewang finally found an outlet and kicked Lu Weiguo to the ground!

"Hey! Listen to me!"

At this moment, Lu Weiguo looked aggrieved, even though it was a blessing to be educated by his parents after growing up.

But his dad used too much force; that kick just now almost made him see his great-grandmother!

"Speak up! If you don't speak properly, I'll fucking shove you into a latrine! You little brat, all you do is annoy me."

Lu Dewang openly criticized Lu Weiguo, but he was actually referring to Shu Ruizhi.

"Alright, alright! Dad, don't be angry. Sister-in-law, please let me finish."

Lu Weiguo stood by the window, pointed outside, and said.

"Look at the place where I'm going to build my house. The grove of trees next to it is a kind of open space, but everyone has almost cut down all the trees there."

I know you and my brother have saved up a lot of money over the years. Take it all out and use it to apply for that piece of land.

Let's build a new house, the bigger the better. Even if we don't have enough bricks and tiles, we can build a big shed.

"If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you. You can pay me back whenever you have it."

"Why build a new house when you already have one? It's such a waste of money!" Lu Dewang replied irritably.

"Yes, third brother, what do you mean? If you don't want to give it, just say so. You know that money is saved for my unborn child's schooling."

Now that it's all spent, how will you take care of his schooling? Your older brother doesn't have your skills to climb the mountain. We're just honest, hardworking farmers.

Besides, you said that's already outside the village, with rats and weasels everywhere, and further on there's a graveyard.

"Who lives there, kind folks?" Although Shu Ruizhi understood the part about borrowing money, her real purpose was Lu Weiguo's old house.

She had already made plans when she heard that Lu Weiguo was going to build a new house.

Building a new house requires money; it would be much better to just move in when you already have a house.
