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

Ding Dahu couldn't control Lu Yao, and Lu Yao happened to offend Yang Shouye.

So Ding Dahu, using Yang Shouye's name, went after Ge Sanwang, the militia company commander.

When Ge Sanwang heard that Lu Yao had gone hunting in the mountains without permission and had caught so many prey, he was naturally envious.

He immediately hit it off with Ding Dahu.

I came to the Lu family home during the day, but Lu Yao wasn't there.

The two of them drank at Ding Dahu's house.

As dusk approached, I could hear noises outside.

The two of them came out and stood in the courtyard, looking around.

They saw that all the villagers were heading west.

I vaguely heard something about "horse caravan" and "wolf pack".

Just as I was about to go out and ask, Ding Mei ran back.

"Little Mei, where have you been? You're not even wearing a headscarf, and your cotton-padded coat is all torn!"

Ding Mei's excitement hadn't subsided yet:

"Dad, you always said I couldn't hunt, but I went today! Tuwa and I hunted dozens of wolves!"

I didn't dare tell my father that I had secretly gone up the mountain.

But today's results are truly remarkable.

I feel so stifled if I don't say it.

Ding Dahu roared, "What nonsense! Who can fight dozens of wolves? Are you crazy?"

"I'm telling the truth..."

When Ding Dahu saw that Ding Mei's pants were showing, Ge Sanwang, who was drunk and bleary-eyed, kept glancing at her.

He kicked Ding Mei in the butt:

"You should be more mature, young lady. Go inside and change your cotton-padded pants!"

Ding Mei then remembered that she had gone home to change her pants.

Run inside as fast as you can.

Ding Dahu pulled Ge Sanwang back as he looked back at Ding Mei:

"Third Brother, let's go check on the Lu family. Lu Yao has really been causing trouble lately!"

The two of them went straight to Lu Yao's house after leaving the house.

On the way, I saw some elderly women with bound feet and elderly men with canes, carrying basins and bowls.

Ding Dahu asked, "Where are you all going?"

"That country bumpkin brought back a lot of wolves. He gave two jin (1 kg) of meat to the older ones for free, and they could even trade it for cornmeal. That kid... he's so kind!"

These words sounded like a slap in Ding Dahu's face.

He usually leads a hunting team into the mountains, and he distributes the game they bring back.

Those who go into the mountains with us will get a little meat.

The rest were sent to the commune in the name of the production team.

The commune then used the names of the villagers to exchange supplies with the county cooperative.

After changing hands several times, the real benefits ended up in his and Yang Shouye's hands.

Of course, Ge Sanwang will also get some.

As for those families who couldn't get into the hunting team, they wouldn't get a single hair.

The country bumpkin actually came back to provide welfare for the villagers?

Isn't this just trying to make things difficult for me, the team leader?

Let's look back at Ge Sanwang.

Ge Sanwang held the Mauser pistol hanging in his arms:

"Let's go, let's see what this kid's got to offer!"

The two of them arrived in a menacing manner.

Upon entering, he was taken aback to see the thirty-odd dead wolves piled up in Lu Yao's yard.

How did this kid manage to get so many greenhorns?

But no matter how good a hunter you are, you have to obey orders!

Because of my high position, you have to listen to me.

So he pushed the Mauser pistol in his arms forward, placing it in the most conspicuous spot, and, with his belly sticking out, looked at Lu Yao with a proud and arrogant air.

But Lu Yao seemed not to hear his shout at all.

They maintained order and had everyone line up to receive the wolf meat.

Tie Zhu, Li Erniu, and Gou Shengzi were all helping to skin the wolf and divide the meat.

Boss Che, Cao Erdan, also came to help.

He's a fan of Lu Yao now.

He had witnessed Lu Yao slashing thugs with his own eyes, and he had also hunted down so many wolves; in his mind, Lu Yao had become a god.

Despite the cold weather, everyone was working enthusiastically.

Some of the wolves were already frozen solid, so we took them inside to thaw them.

If you gave a wolf pelt to Zhao Balai, it could easily fetch more than ten dollars.

Thirty-two wolf pelts cost more than three hundred yuan.

Ge Sanwang realized that his shout had failed to intimidate everyone.

Kind of embarrassing.

Standing on the earthen wall, he strained his neck and shouted again:

"Stop it, all of you! These wolves belong to a pack, don't try to divide them up!"

Ding Dahu also joined in pushing and shoving the crowd:

"Stop arguing, everyone! Listen to Company Commander Ge!"

Only then did everyone shift their attention from the wolf to Ge Sanwang, who was standing on the wall.

Then, Company Commander Ge took off his cotton hat, revealing his steaming head.

He smoothed down the few strands of hair on his head that were bald in patches.

He cleared his hoarse, duck-like voice, and asked, knowing the answer already:

Who killed these wolves?

Before Lu Yao could speak, Cao Erdan had already answered for him:

"Lu Yao did all of this! That kid's really something!"

Lu Yao stared coldly at Ge Sanwang, knowing he wasn't up to anything, and remained silent.

Ge Sanwang sneered, his expression neither warm nor cold:

"Hunting requires the militia company's approval. You can't hunt without permission. This mountain belongs to the state and the collective. You can't just shoot any blade of grass, any rabbit, or any mouse on this mountain..."

Lu Yao interrupted him, saying:

"Ge Sanwang, is this rule stipulated by national law, or did you make it yourself? If it's a national regulation, then produce the corresponding documents. If you just made it up out of thin air, I suspect you're trying to play the old-fashioned landlord and bully tactics to seize the resources on this mountain for yourself! Do you want to become a capitalist?"

Lu Yao's words were like a sharp bayonet.

He stabbed straight in.

Originally, the villagers all thought there was no solution after hearing Ge Sanwang's words.

After all, he's an official.

It looks like Lu Yao's wolf is doomed today.

But after hearing Lu Yao's words, he immediately felt that there was a chance for things to turn around.

Several men who thought they were worldly-wise and had been to Jiangzhou had to admire Lu Yao.

That hits the nail on the head.

Why did this kid even think of asking for documents?

Why would they think of turning around and biting back, slapping such a big accusation on someone?

These days, everyone is afraid of getting associated with "capital" or "landlords".

Ge Sanwang's father had a bad family background, and he became the company commander by severing ties with his father.

Lu Yao's words were like a heavy hammer blow, almost knocking him off the earthen wall.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm representing the Shuiling Commune! I'm representing the collective interests!"

Lu Yao smiled slightly: "I'm just distributing meat to everyone, isn't that a collective effort? Ge Sanwang, don't you feel that this meat shouldn't be distributed to everyone, but should be delivered to your homes?"

Then he looked at Ding Dahu and said, "I'll just give the meat to Captain Ding. You can give it to whoever you like, and if you don't like someone, you can take it and sell it yourself."

Ding Dahu roared, "Stop spouting nonsense! When did I ever sell myself?!"

Ge Sanwang was also furious:

"When did I say I wouldn't share it with everyone?"

Originally there to question someone, they turned into eager to prove their innocence after Lu Yao's few questions.

He noticed that the villagers were looking at him differently now.

Ge Sanwang then realized what was happening.

Lu Yao's words, though seemingly directed at himself, were actually intended to incite the masses and mislead people.

He quickly called out:

"Lu Yao, you country bumpkin, don't say anything else. As the militia company commander, I'm confiscating your wolf meat. We'll talk after you explain yourself. I'll distribute this meat to the commune members through Captain Ding to replace their rations."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Cao Erdan:

"Erdan, go back and get the cart, take the wolf meat away! Confiscate it!"
