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

The kid in the big-toed shoes who had just run away was walking in front, gesturing wildly:

"Second brother, someone saw Third Brother and the others come to the clinic, right there..."

Suddenly, he spotted Lu Yao and quickly pointed:

"Second brother, this is the kid who beat us up!"

The man who arrived was none other than Zhao Scarface, the most notorious hooligan on Fourth Road.

He was known for his ferocity in school fights when he was around ten years old.

He chased after the principal with a kitchen knife.

He was surrounded and beaten by more than a dozen young men, and he was beaten until he was covered in blood, but he refused to admit defeat and made a name for himself through his ruthlessness.

Even after growing up and starting work, no one can control me anymore.

1973 was a special period, and gang fights were common.

Back then, being good at studying and having a good education was useless; having thick arms and great strength was the most appreciated.

Therefore, at the local products company, Zhao Balai's words carried more weight than those of the leaders.

Even troublemakers who the leaders couldn't control would treat Zhao Scarface with utmost respect.

He not only works at the local products company, but is also the captain of the neighborhood committee.

In armed conflicts, he was always at the forefront.

He had countless young followers.

In the Fourth Road area, if you mention Zhao Scarface, everyone knows he's a troublemaker.

Therefore, Zhao Laosan and Zhao Laosi were able to act tyrannically by relying on Zhao Bala.

Today, when Big Shoes ran back to report that someone had beaten up Lao San, Zhao Scarface immediately became furious.

They came this way with about ten people.

Seeing Zhao Laosan's head wrapped up like he was wearing a mourning cap from afar, Zhao Balai's anger flared even more.

His eyes involuntarily turned to Lu Yao with anger.

The next moment, I'm going to go up and beat this country bumpkin to a pulp.

But I felt that this kid's expression was so strange.

Looking at Zhao Balai in his younger days, Lu Yao felt a surge of warmth and familiarity.

Come over and punch him:

"Hey there, Scarface!"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

In his previous life, Zhao Balai died of lung cancer, three years before him. Lu Yao personally dressed him in his burial clothes and helped him into the coffin for burial.

Seeing Zhao Balai alive and well now, how could he not be excited?

Zhao Balai was completely baffled.

"Are you crazy? Do I even know you?"

"We don't know each other now, but we will in a little while. Come on, let's find a place and talk over drinks!"

"Stop trying to get on my good side, did you hit my brother?"

Although Lu Yao's expression was friendly, Zhao Balai wasn't buying it.

You can kill my brother and then treat me to a meal, right?

Although Lu Yao later became very close to Zhao Balai and they had a very good relationship, he doesn't know him now.

I can't just come up here and say that I've lived a life before and been reborn.

You can't trust anyone.

This needs to be discussed slowly.

But now that Zhao the Scarface saw that the third brother's head was wrapped up, he was about to make a move.

Lu Yao frowned:

"Zhao Scarface, are you even a man?"

"What?"

Zhao Balai thought to himself, "No one on Fourth Road is afraid of me. Who dares to say I'm not a man?"

"If you're a man, come with me to that Hui restaurant over there alone. I have something to say to you. If you're too scared, then try to beat me up with your numbers. I, Lu Yao, am no man if I even flinch!"

Seeing the teenager puffing out his chest and gesturing fiercely at him, Zhao Scarface chuckled.

"Kid, I admire your guts! You've got guts! Fine, I'll go with you. Don't think I won't beat you up just because you bought me a meal!"

"I don't have money to treat you to a meal; you're the one who has to treat me."

"What!"

Zhao Balai clenched his fist again.

Lu Yao reached out and pulled his arm:

"Let's go. I've told you some things, and you'll be all better now."

Zhao Scarface's henchmen kept clamoring to beat up Lu Yao.

But Zhao the Scarface didn't allow it:

"You all shut up and wait for me!"

He turned around and tugged at Lu Yao's collar:

"Come on, I want to hear what you have to say!"

The two of them, pulling and tugging at each other, entered the Hui Muslim restaurant.

Back then, restaurants were all state-owned, with rudimentary facilities and no private rooms.

However, when Zhao Balai arrived, the waiter was very polite.

According to his wife, the waiters all call him brother-in-law.

Quickly make room for them in the innermost corner by the window.

Zhao Balai kept a watchful eye on Lu Yao the whole time.

I'm wondering why I'm in such a good mood today.

If it were someone else trying to fool me, I would have shut them up with a combination of electric shocks and flying kicks.

However, the child is young and quite adorable.

Secondly, his steady demeanor and composure made Zhao Balai dare not underestimate him.

He remained unfazed and chatted with a dozen or so men carrying sticks; you probably couldn't find another one like him on the entire Fourth Road.

Lu Yao picked up the menu and asked with a smile:

"Scarface, your wife works at this restaurant, right? Do you still love the 'shaozi gai' the most? And when you drink, do you still heat it up to sixty degrees Celsius?"

Zhao Balai was taken aback.

Looking at the boy again, she realized she had never met him before, so how did he know her so well?

Zhao Balai displayed unprecedented patience. When the dishes arrived and Lu Yao still hadn't gotten to the point, he couldn't help but ask again:

"You've brought me here, so say what you want to say!"

Lu Yao sighed: "Actually, I really don't know how to tell you so you can believe me. But I know you're a person who values ​​promises the most! Later, because of a promise you made to me, you actually lost more than 100 million."

Zhao the Scarface laughed loudly in anger:

"Kid, I don't need a hundred million, ten thousand would be perfect. Don't spout nonsense. If I didn't think you were a kid, I'd be flipping the table and beating you up right now!"

His shout startled the guests at the surrounding table, who quickly got up and left.

Lu Yao, unhurriedly, filled Zhao Balai's cup with wine:

"Scarface, I want you to swear an oath that you won't tell anyone what I told you today. I'm only telling you, or you can beat me up all you want, but I'd rather die than tell anyone!"

Zhao the Scarface scratched his head anxiously:

"Fine, you little brat, I'll play with you today. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

After saying that, Zhao Balai raised his hand to the sky and actually swore an oath!

Lu Yao then whispered:

"I have a few things to tell you. Listen carefully."

First, your third son is a swindler and cheater; he's trying to extort money from our team's horse-drawn carriage today.

He was about to attack me with a kitchen knife, but I snatched the knife from him before I could actually kill him.

He won't mention you, so I'll hit him even harder.

Just as Zhao Balai was about to speak, Lu Yao waved his hand:

"Let me finish speaking before you speak!"

The second thing is still about your third child.

However, this is your family matter, and I'm not in a position to say more.

"Stay close to him and your wife during this time, but don't let him find out. I guarantee you'll gain something from it."

Zhao Balai stood up angrily, ready to make a move.

"You fucking said my brother stole my wife?"

This was something Zhao Scarface told Lu Yao himself later on.

He was referring to December of 1973, when he returned home and found his wife riding on his third son's back.

After being beaten up, the two admitted they had been together for more than six months.

Lu Yao held down Zhao Scarface, who was about to attack:

"Scarface, if you think this isn't true, would I lie to you? If you just keep an eye on things, you'll find out the truth within three days."

These words struck a chord with Zhao Balai.

I've noticed my wife has been acting a bit strange lately.

He was a bit cold when it came to getting things done.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but it just wasn't the same as before.

He even jokingly asked her if she was seeing someone else.

Thinking back to how the third brother usually looks at his sister-in-law... Could what Lu Yao said be true?

At this moment, Lu Yao said again:

"Let's not talk about this for now, just be careful. I know you're involved in trafficking animal hides. You'll be arrested three years from now when the policies change drastically, and you'll serve two years in a labor camp for it. But for now, you're fine."

These words made Zhao Bala shudder.

In this day and age, if you were caught reselling animal hides, it would be considered "speculation and profiteering," and you'd be imprisoned.

"Who exactly are you?"

Zhao Balai's eyes widened in disbelief.
