My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

After nightfall, Brother Hu watched as Lu Yinheng called Zhou Dalin into the woods, and his face instantly fell.

He nudged Sister-in-law Hu's arm and whispered, "Go and call them over."

He waited a long time last night, but Lu Wuzheng didn't send any more meat. All day today, Lu Wuzheng didn't show any particular interest, and the Lu family didn't offer them any special treatment.

During the day, Lu Yinheng took advantage of several breaks to invite Zhou Dalin to go hunting together.

After Zhou Dalin went with them, he never returned empty-handed.

His family hadn't even considered their marriage alliance, given how good this was. He felt he couldn't wait any longer and had to give Lu Wuzheng a warning.

Sister-in-law Hu couldn't wait any longer.

After receiving her husband's words, she quickly found Lu Wuzheng and said, "Come with me for a moment, my husband has something to tell you."

Hearing that his future brother-in-law needed to see him, Lu Wuzheng subconsciously tensed up and unconsciously looked at his sister-in-law.

In fact, he had considered saving his food and secretly sending it to Hu Chunjiao these past few days.

But thinking back to when he was in the village, he would always secretly bring her things, only to be met with a cold shoulder from her, who would say that since they weren't married, meeting her like this would damage her reputation and that he shouldn't go looking for her.

The thought of her cold face left him feeling helpless. In the end, he had accumulated quite a few things, but he didn't dare to deliver any of them.

In his nervousness, he instinctively wanted to ask Ji Yunshuang for help.

After realizing his actions and thoughts, Lu Wuzheng was stunned.

He didn't say anything to his sister-in-law on the surface, but in his heart he always looked down on her.

But when did he start to depend on her?

Before Lu Wuzheng could figure out when he started to change, Ji Yunshuang had already caught his pleading look and walked towards him.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang approach, Sister-in-law Hu felt inexplicably apprehensive. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "He's not a child anymore. He won't need you, his sister-in-law, to keep an eye on him just to say a few words, will he?"

Lu Wuzheng also realized that he had been too nervous just now, and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going over for a bit, you take care of the house."

Ji Yunshuang nodded. "Tell me when you get back."

With just that simple sentence, Lu Wuzheng felt inexplicably at ease. He and Sister-in-law Hu went to Brother Hu's place.

To make it easier to talk, Brother Hu specially brought his sister to a place that was a little further away from the campsite.

Upon seeing Lu Wuzheng, Brother Hu said coldly, "Are you not sincerely trying to marry my sister?"

"Brother, why would you say that?" Lu Wuzheng subconsciously touched the bag at his waist, intending to take out the things he usually stored and hand them to Hu Chunjiao who was standing next to him.

Before he could even hand over the gift, he heard Brother Hu say, "If you really want to marry my sister, go tell your brother to invite my family along when you go hunting in the future."

If he thinks Da Zhou and Er Yong are too young and immature, I can go and assist him.

Lu Wuzheng paused in his work, frowned, and said, "This is my elder brother's matter; I can't make the decision."

Brother Hu said, "That's your older brother. How can you not make the decision? Why don't you help persuade him? Our two families are closer than yours and the Zhou family."

“If it were up to anyone, my eldest brother would have taken me and my second brother instead of calling him Brother Zhou.”

Lu Wuzheng looked to the side and explained to Hu Chunjiao, who was clearly dissatisfied with him, "Not only did my eldest brother not invite me and my second brother, but he also didn't bring the second brother from the Mu family."

The main problem is that the mountains are dangerous, and we're not skilled enough. Going there wouldn't only prevent us from helping, but we might even hinder him, and in the end, we wouldn't catch any prey.

"If you're not good at it, you can teach me!" Brother Hu muttered discontentedly. "We can't let other companies take advantage of us just because of this!"

“Brother Zhou didn’t take advantage of my family; he and my brother were helping each other out.”

Lu Wuzheng glanced at Hu Chunjiao, who clearly agreed with her brother, and said with some disappointment, "Besides, hunting isn't something you can learn in a day or two."

Besides, the mountains are dangerous. What if something happens if my older brother takes you there?

Brother Hu said firmly, "What kind of accident could happen? We've been in the mountains for so long, how come no one has had an accident? I think you just don't value my Chun Jiao."

As he spoke, he gave Hu Chunjiao a wink, signaling her to speak according to what they had agreed upon beforehand.

Hu Chunjiao's dissatisfaction with Lu Wuzheng had reached its peak. For such a small matter, he was making excuses and showing absolutely no regard for her.

But considering they were on the run, she patiently said, "Brother Wuzheng, this is actually a good thing for both our families. Don't you trust our family's character? Don't worry, our family won't take advantage of you."

When Gu Chunzhi arranged for Hu Chunjiao to be Lu Wuzheng's wife, it was not only because they lived in the same village and knew each other well, but also because the Hu brothers were all honest people.

The family is hardworking and honest, and there's nothing messy or disreputable about them.

Lu Wuzheng was actually satisfied with this marriage.

But at this moment, his brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing that he was still unmoved even after she had already tried to persuade him, Hu Chunjiao said in an annoyed tone, "If you don't agree, our marriage is off!"

Lu Wuzheng did not agree immediately.

Hu Chunjiao felt extremely ashamed. She glared at Lu Wuzheng hatefully, then turned and ran away.

Brother Hu was also very angry. The girl had already said so much, but this blockhead wouldn't agree right away.

He said, "Let me tell you, this is your fault! If you don't agree, not only will my sister not agree, but I won't agree to this marriage either."

Lu Wuzheng was also stubborn. The more powerful the Hu family was, the more he felt he couldn't agree to it so easily. "I can't make a decision on this. I have to go back and discuss it with my mother and elder brother."

Brother Hu was so angry he almost fell over. "You're 20 years old now, not just two or three. For such a small thing, you still have to go back to your mother and brother."

Lu Wuzheng ignored him, turned around and walked back. After a few steps, he remembered the food rations he had saved up over the past few days, paused, turned back, and stuffed the things into Brother Hu's hand, saying, "These are for Chun Jiao. Please give them to her for me."

After saying that, he didn't linger and turned to walk back.

As soon as they reached their luggage, Gu Chunzhi and Ji Yunshuang looked over at it.

Gu Chunzhi spoke first: "What did they ask you to say?"

Lu Wuzheng frowned and recounted what had just happened, which immediately made Gu Chunzhi anxious.

She couldn't help but complain about her eldest son, saying that he hadn't considered things carefully enough. Since the two families were related by marriage, he should have taken better care of him.

But the eldest son didn't help them; instead, he took care of outsiders. No wonder the Hu family had objections. As she spoke, she blamed herself, complaining that she had been so confused lately, leaving everything to her son and daughter-in-law and forgetting about this matter.

Ji Yunshuang, however, felt that Lu Yinheng was not the kind of person who was so inconsiderate.

It's impossible that he considered every other aspect except for taking care of the Hu family.

This doesn't fit his personality at all!

If someone does something completely out of character, there's only one reason—it's intentional!
