Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

Li Mu took Tian Xiaohu and left with their things, heading straight for the Liu family in the neighboring village.

Just as the Liu family was about to have lunch, Liu Mancang began to stroll leisurely towards the outside of the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Liu Dezhu's face darkened, and he angrily said, "Where are you going? If you're going to find that young widow today, I'll break your legs."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mancang paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he quickly put on a playful smile as he turned around.

"Father, what are you doing? She's carrying your precious grandson right now!"

"How dare you say that!" Liu Dezhu was furious when he heard him say that.

Liu Dezhu served as village chief for over thirty years, and everyone who met him praised him highly. Even people from other villages had a good reputation for him; he never failed to impress anyone.

That's perfect, allowing that poor bastard Tao Qingshan to interrogate him relentlessly.

If it weren't for his quick wit and sharp tongue, the marriage falling through would be a minor issue. The real shame would be being gossiped about and accused of marriage fraud by the Liu family.

Liu Dezhu grew angrier the more he thought about it. He picked up the pot with the eye bags and took a few steps to Liu Mancang. He grabbed Liu Mancang's ear and growled in a low voice.

"Why can't you control your lustful desires? The marriage isn't even finalized yet and you've already gotten pregnant. What are you going to do once Tao Yimei marries into the family?"

"You don't need to worry about this father. I want the son and the new bride. Even if the Tao family finds out about this, they won't be able to cancel the engagement."

"Anyone I, Liu Mancang, set my sights on will belong to me, Liu Mancang, even if it means death."

Liu Mancang spoke with a grin, but his eyes were filled with ferocity, making him look like a bloodthirsty wolf.

Liu Dezhu, who was initially somewhat annoyed, saw his expression and instead of being frightened, his eyes softened and even showed a hint of joy.

But he still cursed, "Get out, get out, get out! You've gotten yourself into trouble now, just don't make your old man clean up your mess later."

Once Liu Mancang's ears were loosened, he was like a dog released from its cage, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

As Liu Mancang's mother, Zhang Cuie, was carrying food out of the stove, she noticed that Liu Dezhu was the only one left in the yard, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

"I think this marriage with the Tao family is doomed. You should make other plans as soon as possible."

Liu Dezhu narrowed his eyes, his usual honest and kind demeanor completely gone, replaced by a calculating and ruthless expression.

"No, Tao Qingshan is dying. Given his family's current situation, they probably won't even have enough money for funeral expenses after he dies."

"Their village is so poor, how many people would lend them money? Even if they did... a big fire would wipe it all out."

Liu Dezhu spoke lightly, as if he were telling a joke he had overheard.

Unexpectedly, his words were clearly heard by Li Mu and Tian Xiaohu, who were hiding outside the courtyard.

Tian Xiaohu's fists were clenched tightly. If Li Mu hadn't held him back, he would have rushed out and given Liu Dezhu a good beating.

However, Li Mu not only stopped him from beating people, but also waited until Liu Dezhu went into the main room to eat before quietly taking Tian Xiaohu away again.

After walking quite a distance and almost reaching the mountain pass, Li Mu finally let go of Tian Xiaohu's hand.

"You're too impulsive!"

“If we rush in and beat them up now, we won’t help Yi Mei’s family. Instead, Liu Dezhu will use this as an excuse to send us both to jail.”

Li Mu calmly spoke and headed towards the house of Widow Liu, which he had inquired about.

He had originally planned that if he couldn't catch Liu Mancang and Liu Guanfu having an affair, he would try to put Liu Mancang in a sack and feed him the drug he was giving to the boar.

I don't believe this kid can hold it in and not find a place to vent.

Unexpectedly, this kid is so useless; he's about to get married and still thinking about that young widow.

"Then what do you suggest we do! Just let those two bastards get away with it?" Tian Xiaohu was furious. He was kind-hearted by nature and had never done anything immoral or unethical.

When he was a child, other kids would pick a few fruits from the fruit trees in front of someone's house and eat them, but he would only pick the ones that had fallen to the ground and that no one wanted.

Therefore, in his view, Liu Dezhu was a damned villain.

Going in and getting a beating would be too lenient; they should be sent to eat peanuts.

However, what he didn't know was that Li Mu had much more to think about than he did.

The fact that Liu Dezhu, who seemed so kind, could say such things shows that he had done such things before, but the Liu family had a very good reputation in the neighboring village.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the village chief.

However, what puzzled him was that although the Liu family's house was located in the very center of the village, it was surrounded by an unusually empty space.

It could be said that there were no neighbors; it was all private land.

Otherwise, Liu Dezhu wouldn't have spoken so recklessly; he was only relying on the fact that there was no one around. Even if someone came, he could see them clearly from his position in the courtyard.

It seems he'll have to mention it to Brother Gao later and ask him to help find someone to check out what's going on with this Liu Dezhu.

With that thought in mind, Li Mu led Tian Xiaohu to the door of Widow Liu's house.

The two crouched down and moved to the back of Widow Liu's house, where they could hear everything that was happening inside.

The sounds of "hmm, ahh" made Tian Xiaohu blush crimson, and he stammered to Li Mu, "Mu, Brother Mu, should we catch them cheating now?"

"Go find the inspection team and tell them someone is having an affair," Li Mu said, pointing to the bicycle parked in front of Widow Liu's house.

The old-fashioned bicycle was clearly ridden by a man.

In other words, this car most likely belongs to Liu Mancang.

Tian Xiaohu, a child who had never done anything wrong, saw the car and had no psychological burden at all. He ran over, got in the car, and drove off.

Li Mu pushed aside the stack of jade bundles beside him and plunged inside.

Inside the house, the battle had ended.

Liu Mancang's rough, large hands touched Widow Liu's slightly protruding belly, and he couldn't help but laugh as he asked, "What do you think is a good name for our son?"

"I think Yaoguang and Yaozu are both good."

Widow Liu indeed curled her lips in disgust before slowly saying, "I'm a widow giving birth; I'm lucky if I'm not drowned by having my urine pressed against my breast."

"Do you really dare to take them back? And would Tao Yimei be willing to raise them for you?"

"Whether she's willing or not isn't up to her. Let me tell you, my son can only take my surname." With that, Liu Mancang got up, grabbed his clothes, and started to put them on.

At this moment, Widow Liu grabbed his arm tightly and said with a wronged expression, "Can't you spend more time with me? After you get married and have a new wife, I'm afraid you won't even want to come to my door."

Liu Mancang chuckled and patted the two pieces of white flesh on Widow Liu's body. "Don't worry, I'll take both the ones inside and outside the house."

"Besides, you are my son's biological mother."

When Liu Mancang tries to coax a woman, he uses nothing but sweet words.

Li Mu, hiding in the pile of jade bundles, almost choked, but he had to endure it. He couldn't wait for the inspection team to arrive, or he wouldn't even be able to find the adulterer's shadow.
