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

Lu Xiaoqian stuck out her tongue, pulled the blanket over Lu Yao's and her own heads, and whispered in the blanket:

"Brother, won't the people who roast human flesh come into the village to kidnap and eat children?"

Lu Yao chuckled and playfully pinched her little nose:

"No, I'm here for you! I can not only kill wolves, I can kill all sorts of demons and monsters!"

"Um, brother, can you hold my hand while we sleep?"

The little girl looks genuinely scared.

Lu Yao reached his hand into Xiaoqian's bed.

A warm little hand was extended to it.

Lu Yao grabbed him.

But the hand trembled and struggled slightly before remaining in Lu Yao's grasp.

Lu Yao sensed something was wrong and asked Lu Xiaoqian, "Was that your hand?"

Lu Xiaoqian laughed heartily, her shoulders trembling.

She whispered, "It's from Sister Ding Mei; she's scared too!"

Then, he grabbed Lu Yao's wrist with his own hand.

Lu Yao looked at Ding Mei through Xiao Qian.

She lay on her back with her eyes closed, but her long eyelashes fluttered.

Lu Yao was very shy when Lu Xiaoqian gave her hand, but she was secretly delighted.

She wanted to sleep with Lu Yao, but she didn't dare.

Fortunately, this kind-hearted girl stepped in and helped.

It's quite late now, but no one can sleep.

Jiang Guizhi asked Lu Yao:

"Hey kid, how's your work in the militia company going? Has Director Yang given you any more criticism?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "No, he's the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. I'm a pillar of strength, and he's just a mouse in front of me!"

"Brother is awesome!"

Lu Xiaoqian truly idolized her brother.

Jiang Guizhi sighed and said, "You country bumpkin, the strongest things are easily broken, while the softest are unharmed. You'd better not be too sharp. People won't dare offend you to your face, but they're afraid they'll plot against you behind your back!"

"Mom, don't worry, I understand."

Ding Mei didn't say anything, feeling rather uneasy.

Ever since I was old enough to understand, my father had always been subservient to Yang Shouye.

Originally, Ding Dahu's reputation was highly respected in the nearby villages, and Ding Mei was also proud of it, just like Lu Xiaoqian now admires her brother.

But ever since I saw my father being scolded by Yang Shouye and not daring to talk back, half of my father's image in my mind has been ruined.

Look at that country bumpkin, he's so manly!

Lu Xiaoqian asked again, "Brother, aren't you going to take some people into the mountains to catch the bad guys?"

Lu Yao also sighed, "This is much more difficult than hunting wolves! The other side is human, a higher animal, and can hide. Finding them in such a big mountain is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Lu Xiaoqian shook her brother's arm: "Yes, don't go. As long as they don't enter the village, it's fine. Anyway, there are tigers in the mountains; they might eat them at any time."

Jiang Guizhi urged her daughter, "Xiaoqian, go to sleep. Your brother has to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep now."

Lu Xiaoqian nudged her head close to Lu Yao's and asked with a sly smile:

"Brother, do you want to switch places with me?"

"Go to sleep."

Lu Yao thought to himself, "What's the point of changing places? There's a girl on my left and my mom on my right. What else can I do?"

Lu Xiaoqian turned around.

He whispered in Ding Mei's ear, "Sister Mei, would you like to switch places with me?"

"Go to sleep!"

Ding Mei elbowed him again.

My heart was pounding from this little girl's teasing.

I thought to myself, if your brother had that kind of guts, he would have been holding me and sleeping back in the hot spring valley.

In fact, Lu Yao wasn't cowardly; he was just timid towards her.

If Ding Mei knew that Lu Yao was so arrogant and domineering outside, sleeping around with other people's wives in front of them, she would be furious.

Jiang Guizhi blew out the kerosene lamp.

Lu Yao said, "Once I've made money with the villagers, the first thing I'll do is run the power lines into Jiapigou."

"Why are you running electrical wires?"

Lu Xiaoqian was very energetic and not sleepy at all.

Lu Yao explained, "With electricity, there are electric lights. In a few years, without electricity, you can't do anything."

Lu Xiaoqian chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. People lived just fine for hundreds or thousands of years without electricity!"

"That was before we had electricity. Once you used something, you couldn't live without it."

Ding Mei then added, "Yes, humanity must develop. In the past, people didn't have guns and cannons, and later they were bullied by foreigners. Therefore, development depends on a spirit of enterprise; falling behind means being bullied!"

Lu Yao couldn't help but look up at Ding Mei.

That's impressive, my mother-in-law already had this awareness at this point. No wonder her business did so well later on.

Lu Yao later became a billionaire, while Ding Mei also had assets worth several billion, without relying on her son-in-law at all.

He built his fortune entirely through his own hard work.

If my future mother-in-law joins forces with me in this life, with her intelligence and my foresight, we will surely achieve even greater glory than in the last life!

Under the starlight, Ding Mei turned her head to the side, finding it more comfortable to hold Lu Yao's hand this way.

Lu Xiaoqian felt a little uncomfortable as the two men placed their hands on her stomach.

Ding Mei asked a question:

"Tuwazi, Yang Shouye doesn't dare to touch you now, he must be afraid of you knowing Ju Zhenghua. But he won't be truly good to you, you must be careful of him."

Lu Yao squeezed her little hand:

"I know, you don't need to worry, I'm best at dealing with scoundrels."

Ding Mei pinched him back.

Lu Xiaoqian giggled.

Lu Yao pinched her: "What are you laughing at about such a serious topic?"

"No, stop touching my stomach, it tickles!"

One sentence startled Ding Mei so much that she immediately withdrew her hand.

He also pinched Lu Xiaoqian's cheek.

Jiang Guizhi over there quickly asked:

"Little Meizi, are you feeling cramped? Why don't you come and sit on the kang (heated brick bed)?"

"No need, Auntie, I don't want to squeeze in."

Then he turned his head towards Jiang Guizhi, stuck out his buttocks, and nudged Lu Xiaoqian again.

This brat! You had your brother pull me away, and you still argued. It's so embarrassing.

Lu Yao wasn't that shy.

He immediately turned his face to the wall.

Lu Xiaoqian tried to hold either of their hands again, but refused to give them hers.

Without saying a word, Lu Xiaoqian fell asleep in no time.

Lu Yao was carefree and fell asleep in no time.

But even with her eyes closed, Ding Mei couldn't fall asleep.

Listening to Lu Yao's breathing made me feel so happy.

My mind was filled with images of the hot spring valley.

Not only now, but these past few days she's been thinking about it nonstop.

The image of Lu Yao jumping out of the water naked.

He was blindfolded, and he witnessed his clumsiness while urinating.

I grabbed the wrong spot, and now I can't feel anything there...

It was a scene straight out of a young girl's first love.

Ding Mei finally fell asleep.

In my dreams, I'm running around in the mountains with Lu Yao, playing wildly, singing, and hunting...

Jiang Guizhi was woken up by Ding Mei just as dawn was breaking.

The girl was nestled in his arms, her arms wrapped around his waist.

Look at Ding Mei's sleeping face, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.

I couldn't help but sigh.

What a wonderful girl.

Unfortunately, he has a rogue father, so I dare not mess with him!

Gently move her hands and feet aside, put on your clothes, and get out of bed to start a fire.

Lu Xiaoqian woke up at that moment.

I followed my mother to the outer room to pee in the slop bucket.

Jiang Guizhi opened the door to go out and fetch some firewood.

But when the door opened, there was a tall man standing there – it was Ding Dahu.

Jiang Guizhi screamed in fright.

Lu Xiaoqian, who was inside the room, quickly pulled up her underpants.

Ding Dahu had already walked in.
