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

Lu Weiguo sighed upon hearing this.

Knowing that I can't persuade them today, I can only make plans later.

He came to see his father today for two reasons.

The first thing to do was to have my father arrange for his old friends to help dig the foundation and build the house.

Even in summer, outside of the busy farming season, the ground doesn't freeze.

As long as they are provided with a meal and can eat meat at every meal, these old folks in the village will all help with the work.

They even worked harder.

With meat to eat and wine to drink, people would be willing to go mining, let alone build houses.

In this day and age, isn't the only way for men to live to eat meat and drink alcohol to their heart's content?

With enough to eat at home and a house full of children and grandchildren, life is actually happier than I imagined.

But now that it's winter, the ground is frozen harder than iron.

If you're going to dig a foundation, you need to light a fire on it two days in advance to heat it up.

They roasted each layer until it softened, then dug it up layer by layer; just digging the foundation alone required a lot of effort.

Therefore, Lu Weiguo had to ask his father to use his influence to ask for help.

Not only were food and drink provided, but they also received 50 cents a day as wages.

Only in this way can we hire people.

Lu Weiguo is, after all, a junior. If he were to invite them, these old colleagues would be too proud to work for a young man.

Inside and out, Lu Dewang was the most suitable person to take charge.

The second thing he did was to persuade Shu Ruizhi and Lu Baojia to apply for a homestead there, just like him.

Lu Dewang's old house is quite large, so it doesn't meet the requirements.

But Lu Baojia doesn't have a house.

He knew his older brother all too well.

He was just an ordinary, down-to-earth farmer.

If you want to get rich in your lifetime, there's basically no other hope besides getting compensation for land expropriation.

That area, from the highway to the high-speed rail, underwent three rounds of demolition and relocation.

(This is true; first it was highways, then expressways, and finally high-speed rail.)

The highway and expressway don't occupy that land, but because they're so close, they can only offer money and housing, leaving the land for farming.

Later, when they were building a high-speed railway, there happened to be a stone pier there...

Since we already know this in advance, why not let everyone in the family take it?

This sister-in-law, however, clearly had too many schemes in her mind and couldn't listen to other people's opinions.

"Alright, sister-in-law, let's talk again when my brother gets back. If you're not planning to apply, then we can discuss my family getting the house."

Seeing that Lu Weiguo had relented, Shu Ruizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With her buttocks, which had gained over twenty pounds, swaying and supporting her back, she finally managed to walk out of the house.

"That eldest daughter-in-law! She's pregnant, and she tries to meddle in everything."

I'm not dead yet! I'm still the one who calls the shots in this house!

Seeing that Shu Ruizhi had already left, Lu Dewang spoke while smoking his pipe.

"Alright, stop pretending to be an old man. Why didn't you say anything when she was here?"

Now let's see what we've got.

Liu Yuqin retorted irritably.

"I did that so she wouldn't cause trouble for the boss! What do you know, you woman!"

"Alright, alright, I'm such a woman, I don't understand. All I know is my son needs me. I'll go find my old girlfriends and cook a big meal for him!"

Liu Yuqin glared at Lu Dewang before leaving.

The father and son were left staring at each other in the room.

"Dad, okay, don't be angry. My sister-in-law is just like that, except she has a bit of a temper. Look how well she's taken care of my brother, making him so plump and healthy."

Lu Weiguo couldn't help but laugh as Lu Dewang kept his head down smoking.

"Absolutely! You have no idea how she managed to get just one more bite of meat for your brother, so she'd stuff her mouth full every day to take it home."

"You really think your mother and I are idiots."

Lu Weiguo's eyes widened upon hearing this.

I am!

I didn't realize my older brother had such a strong palate; he really likes "imported" food.

"Haha, is that even possible? So Dad, you can't interfere anymore, just be good to my brother, right?"

As Lu Weiguo said this, he quietly took out a wine flask from his pocket.

This is the deer heart and blood wine that was brewed earlier.

To allow the medicinal wine to fully develop its flavor, it needs to be soaked for a period of time.

This is a perfect example of wine and blood mixing; I immediately sent a bottle to my father.

"Dad, don't be angry. Deer heart blood, one sip and I guarantee you'll be young and strong again, like you're eighteen!"

Lu Dewang suddenly looked up and saw the wine, which looked like red glass. He smiled even more happily than Shu Ruizhi.

"I told you Old Gada felt sorry for me, okay? I'll go help you arrange things with your buddies these next few days."

I'll find the workers, but you'll have to get the materials yourself.

"No problem," Lu Weiguo agreed. "By the way, where's my brother? I haven't seen him for days?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dewang sighed, "He went to find Old Mrs. Chang. He saw that you were doing very well in hunting."

I don't have the skill myself, and I'm getting a little anxious. I want to learn shamanistic rituals from Old Mrs. Chang, but that kind of thing depends on fate.

How can you learn something just because you want to?

But winter isn't busy, so let him cause trouble. I, the eldest son, am less capable than a fool.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo shook his head and smiled bitterly. This was his older brother. It was true that he had no other way to make a fortune except through land expropriation.

"By the way, don't go up the mountain lately. I heard that murderer is really ruthless, he has weapons, and he kills people without blinking an eye, killing hundreds of people in one go!!"

Lu Dewang spoke very seriously.

"Dad, who told you that?"

"Old Niu Tou! He heard about it in the county, don't take it lightly."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Lu Weiguo agreed and left.

No wonder they say three men can make a tiger.

In just a few days, Zhang Benmo, who looked like a scholar, had killed several hundred good people.

This is utter nonsense.

Lu Weiguo shook his head, went home, and dragged Liu Dazhuang along to inspect the homestead they had applied for.

Zhang Benmo's name flashed through his mind.

Thinking that they wouldn't starve to death even in a day, building a house was more important.

result.

For three consecutive days, Old Lu gathered enough people to stand at the village entrance, analyzing the terrain to determine where to dig the foundation.

After clearing away the snow, a layer of dry grass was burned, and a layer of soil was dug up.

After a long search, the location of the foundation was finally determined.

Of course, the most basic considerations, such as sitting facing south, must also be taken into account.

Lu Weiguo didn't understand any of this either.

The old folks in the village only had a vague understanding, but when the men got together, a brilliant idea would randomly pop out.

Lu Weiguo then entrusted the task of building the house and digging the foundation to these elders.

He and Liu Dazhuang squatted to the side, roasting potatoes with the remaining charcoal embers.

"By the way, Dazhuang, where did these potatoes come from?"

Lu Weiguo suddenly asked, remembering that potatoes had to be handed in at the beginning of spring.

"Isn't this what you said you were going to bring for that kid three days ago? I figured you weren't planning on going, so I just grilled it for you."

Liu Dazhuang recalled for a moment and said.

"Huh? Which kid?"

"It's in the cave..."

"Holy crap!!! I completely forgot!"

Inside the cave, Zhang Benmo, nearly starving and exhausted, sat in despair in the darkness.

He was so hungry that he couldn't even push the stone.

Outside, you can find tree bark when you're hungry, but here you only find animal droppings.

At that moment, even the excrement didn't smell bad to him.

It's like looking at those delicacies from the mountains.
