Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Zhang Shulan got up and patted the snow off her body.

He remained silent in the face of Lu Yao's questioning.

She kept stealing glances at her husband, Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's eyes widened like a lazy cow's, and he breathed heavily.

"Let's see if you dare say that..."

Before he could finish threatening her, Lu Yao kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into a ditch by the roadside.

The snow in the trench was so soft and fluffy that the kid vanished without a trace.

One shoe is left outside.

Lu Yao had one arm around the back of Zhang Shulan's neck:

"Speak quickly."

Zhang Shulan still looked worried:

"Tuwazi, I really don't dare to say it. If I do, the Lu family might kill me!"

Lu Yao tightened his grip in anger:

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Even if Zhang Shulan hadn't said anything, Lu Yao couldn't have stripped her naked and beaten her like her husband did.

He pushed her out directly, plunging her into the trench as well.

Lu Ming just poked his head out of the snowdrift when a "plop" sounded like a bottom falling from the sky and he was sitting back down.

Zhang Shulan panicked when she saw Lu Yao turn to leave.

Now that things have come to this point, if Lu Yao leaves, who knows how Lu Ming will torment himself.

If someone were to strip you naked and beat you up in this freezing weather, who could stand it?

He quickly called out, "Hey kid, don't go! I'm telling you!"

They scrambled and crawled out of the trench.

He grabbed Lu Yao: "I can tell you, but you'll be responsible for my safety from now on!"

Lu Yao chuckled: "Why is it that revealing this would be a capital offense?"

"I won't kill them, but I know the Lu family. They wouldn't dare touch Wu Bachao, but if they bully me, they'll definitely kill me."

Lu Yao, eager to know about his father, nodded.

"Okay, you tell me, and I won't let the Lu family bully you."

"You promised me you wouldn't go back on your word!"

Lu Yao retorted angrily, "Do you think I, Lu Yao, am a person who doesn't keep his word? My spit is as good as a nail!"

Zhang Shulan looked at Lu Yao's handsome face with obvious delight:

"That's wonderful! You're the only real man in the Lu family! I've always thought you were better than all of them!"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me."

At this moment, Lu Ming also crawled out of the snow:

"Shulan, have you thought this through? If you tell anyone, whatever benefit you gain, you'll also suffer the consequences!"

Zhang Shulan gritted her teeth: "You forced me to do this!"

He turned around and said, "You country bumpkin, actually..."

"Fuck you!"

Just as she was about to speak, Lu Ming slapped her from behind, interrupting her again.

Zhang Shulan was so frightened that she quickly ran behind Lu Yao:

"Tuwazi, take me with you, I'll talk to you at your house."

Looking at his second uncle, who was circling around him and chasing after Zhang Shulan, Lu Yao felt that with him threatening her, Zhang Shulan might not be able to tell the whole story.

So he kicked Lu Ming out, sending him tumbling into the ditch.

Yi pulled Zhang Shulan: "Come on, let's go back first."

The two walked ahead, but Lu Ming caught up with them again after a short distance:

"Zhang Shulan, do you have a death wish?"

Lu Yao turned around and glared at her: "Come here, come here, hit her again and let me see. I'll break your fingers or I'm not a Lu!"

Lu Ming was so frightened that he took several steps back.

I really don't dare to go near it.

Lu Yao didn't walk fast either, with Zhang Shulan following beside him, holding up his pants with both hands.

Lu Ming followed about ten meters away, holding Zhang Shulan's waist-tying rope in his hand.

He kept muttering, "You country bumpkin, this woman is lying to you. Don't believe anything she says."

"Zhang Shulan, you bitch, if you dare to talk nonsense, you'll lose your home! Do you think I'd still want you then!"

Lu Yao ignored him and continued walking forward.

Not long after, they entered the village and returned to their doorstep.

Pushing the cart into the yard, Zhang Shulan quickly followed.

Lu Yao turned around and hung the small wooden door on the door frame with a rope.

Look at Lu Ming still following behind:

"If you dare come in, I'll beat you up. Try me if you dare!"

Lu Ming stood at the door, looking troubled.

He leaned over the wall and said to Zhang Shulan:

"Shulan, we still have to live our lives. Do you really think you can live with that country bumpkin? The whole village will laugh their heads off! They'll say you're an old cow eating young grass!"

Zhang Shulan stood there without saying a word.

Actually, I'm conflicted.

She didn't mean to end her relationship with Lu Ming.

It's just that the elders of the Lu family were bullying people, and her husband was even siding with his parents and kept hitting them. That's why she was so anxious that she told Lu Yao that she would tell him the secret.

Now that I've calmed down, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

However, let alone the fact that Lu Ming would beat Lu Yao to death in the future, Lu Yao wouldn't care at all.

Lu Yao ignored Lu Ming outside the door, knowing he wouldn't dare cross the line.

He carried the grain, sugar, books, and rifle from the vehicle into the house.

Zhang Shulan, being sensible, opened the door for him and lifted the cotton curtain.

The moment she entered the house, she glanced at Lu Ming outside the courtyard.

He kept gesturing to himself.

Zhang Shulan felt he was too spineless.

His wife was taken away by another man, and he dared not enter the hospital unless he was allowed to.

Does he even deserve to be called a man?!

He followed Lu Yao into the house, startling Jiang Guizhi and Lu Xiaoqian inside.

They didn't even look at Lu Yao; their eyes were all on Zhang Shulan.

Why did Lu Yao bring her back?

He was holding the waistband of his cotton trousers with both hands, without wearing a belt.

Lu Yao offered no explanation or further comment, acting as if Zhang Shulan didn't exist.

Place the grain and food on the kang (heated brick bed):

"Mom, look, this is rice, this is noodles. I asked a friend in the city to buy it for me. It'll be enough for the New Year!"

Jiang Guizhi's eyes lit up when she saw it.

The last time we ate refined grains was when we were allocated them from a landlord's house right after liberation.

As for Lu Xiaoqian, she had never eaten rice since she was a child.

Lu Yao then took out the books he had bought and showed them to Lu Xiaoqian.

She was overjoyed.

Lu Yao then took out the candies and pastries:

"Xiaoqian, look what this is!"

"ah--"

Lu Xiaoqian screamed at a high decibel, and Lu Yao almost covered his ears.

"sugar!"

She quickly reached for a White Rabbit candy, peeled it open, and was about to put it in her mouth, but then she twisted her hand and stuffed it into her mother's mouth instead.

"Mom, try it and see if it's good! Sister Yuejuan gave me a piece last year, and it was delicious."

After her mother ate it, she carefully broke off a piece herself and put it in her mouth.

Then he ripped off another piece and stuffed it into Lu Yao's mouth.

He looked at Zhang Shulan but didn't say anything.

I didn't like this second aunt at all.

Seeing the mother and daughter beaming with joy, Lu Yao was also happy.

I thought to myself, "Mom, sister, this is just the beginning."

Many things that will bring you joy are coming your way.

The greatest happiness is not enjoying it alone, but sharing the happiness of your family. True happiness is when all your loved ones are happy together!

Zhang Shulan, standing to the side, was extremely envious.

I never imagined that Lu Yao's car was carrying so many things that I never even dared to dream of.

The Lu family was better off when Lu Chuan was alive.

Lu Chuan died, and Lu Ming and Lu Fa were bullied in the brigade, never getting any good opportunities.

With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, the whole family only had a little over a pound of wheat flour left, so they were waiting to make dumplings for New Year's Eve.

The minced meat was the same tiger meat from Lu Yao's shop that I had gotten before.

At that moment, she longed to be a part of this family as well.

Jiang Guizhi handed over a piece of milk candy:

"Shulan, have a piece too."

Zhang Shulan rubbed her hands together nervously:

"I...I won't eat..."

It's not that I don't want to eat, it's that I'm embarrassed to eat.

Previously, the people who followed the Lu family bullied Jiang Guizhi quite a bit.

Lu Yao took the candy from his mother's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then he beckoned to Zhang Shulan and said:

"Come with me."

Then I went outside and saw that Lu Ming had already left.

He led Zhang Shulan into the warehouse.
