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

"What are you doing here?"

Yang Shouye looked at Ding Dahu with a sarcastic expression.

Although Ding Dahu often treated me to drinks, it doesn't mean I can forgive him when he's wrong!

Ding Dahu also felt somewhat guilty towards his superiors.

If anyone else had dared to hit Yang Ming, not to mention stabbing him, Ding Dahu would have forced them to come before Yang Shouye and beg for forgiveness, even if they had just pulled a hair from his head.

.

But Lu Yao is not an option.

I've suffered several losses at his hands.

Today, it actually led to Ge Sanwang being dismissed from his post on the spot.

He himself was absolutely no match for Lu Yao.

Only then did he shamelessly come to find Yang Shouye again.

"Brother Yang, I'm here to report on the situation!"

Then, he recounted in detail how Lu Yao hunted wolves today, and how he and Ge Sanwang went to confront him.

Yang Shouye was increasingly surprised as he listened.

How could a small village boy have such great abilities?

If he's just a ruthless person, then he's easy to deal with.

They can just slap a big label on him and send him in for a lesson.

But if he has powerful connections, things will get complicated.

Yang Shouye stroked his chin and spun around on the ground twice.

He looked up at Ding Dahu: "So what if he knows the Minister of Armed Forces? Did he just get beaten up for nothing?"

Ding Dahu had no choice but to say, "How about we have the town police station arrest him directly for intentional assault?"

Yang Shouye shook his head: "If he doesn't have connections above him, it's not impossible to do it. Even if he's wronged, he'll have to endure it. But... what if the higher-ups ask?"

"The investigation revealed that Xiaoming led the raid on the house, which could easily implicate me!"

Ding Dahu looked at Yang Shouye and knew that he must have his own reasons for asking this question:

"Then tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Yang Shouye said, "First, we need to know what his relationship is with Minister Ju, and whether Minister Ju will stand up for him. If their relationship is just so-so, I..."

We'll find an excuse to detain him. If it's an overly intimate relationship, we'll just have to wait and see what happens!

"How can I find out? I don't know Minister Ju!"

"Idiot, don't you have any trusted confidants in this village? Just send someone to test Lu Yao, that'll solve everything! I don't believe a country kid knows anyone this big..."

"Such a person, how could he hold back from saying anything! Let's hear what he has to say first, and then I'll have someone subtly inquire about Minister Ju."

"Okay, I'll go back and take care of it right away."

As Ding Dahu rode his bicycle home from the commune office, he pondered how to find out the true relationship between Lu Yao and Minister Ju.

Looking for Wang Laoba?

He and Lu Yao have a good relationship, so Lu Yao can't lie to him.

No, Wang Laoba may seem friendly on the surface, but it's clear he despises my behavior.

Who else is there?

Even after arriving home, I still couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

As soon as I opened the front door, I saw my daughter, Ding Mei.

His eyes lit up.

Greeting Ding Mei:

"Come in, Xiao Meizi, Dad wants to ask you something."

Seeing her father's serious expression, Ding Mei felt uneasy.

I was so excited when I got back today that I blurted out that I had gone hunting with Tuwazi.

I don't know if my dad will scold me.

It's been over two years since I've been hit on the backside. If I piss him off, I wonder if I'll get hurt again.

He followed Ding Dahu into the house.

Xie Chunfang was sewing shoe soles on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Ding Dahu waved his hand: "Go, take it to the west room!"

Xie Chunfang didn't dare say a word, packed up and went to the west room.

Ding Dahu held absolute authority at home.

My daughter and daughter-in-law were both disciplined with the soles of my shoes.

She just couldn't bear to hit her son, Ding Youliang.

That was his household registration booklet for carrying on the family line.

Ding Dahu sat down, while Ding Mei stood awkwardly.

"You went into the mountains with Tuwazi today, right?"

"Um……"

"You killed quite a few wolves?"

"It was made by the Oroqen people, and given to the local boy!"

Ding Mei has calmed down.

I dare not mention Lu Yao having a gun again.

"Okay, I know you and Tuwazi get along well. But stay away from him from now on, he's going to get into trouble."

Ding Mei became anxious upon hearing this:

"What could possibly happen?"

"The higher-ups want to deal with him. He hunted so many wolves to exchange for grain; that's equivalent to buying and selling, which is illegal trading, speculation, and profiteering. The county police..."

The police have already registered him, and I heard they're going to arrest him in the next few days. If this is proven true, he could face three to ten years in prison. Unless, of course, he has connections in the county.

Someone can protect him, otherwise he's ruined! Don't tell him about this, stay away from him, don't get involved!

"Okay, I understand."

"Alright, it's all over now. Go sweep the yard. I've had a bit too much to drink, I'm going to take a nap."

"it is good."

Ding Mei came out and absentmindedly swept the yard.

Ding Dahu was watching her from the window.

Sure enough, when Ding Mei reached the front door, she threw down the broom and ran out.

"You brat, are you really in cahoots with this country bumpkin?"

He quickly called to Xie Chunfang, who was sewing shoe soles:

"Go quickly and go with your daughter."

"What's wrong with this girl?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow her. She must have gone to Tuwazi's house. You'd better try to overhear what she and Tuwazi are saying!"

Fearing that Ding Dahu would get angry and her buttocks would swell up, Xie Chunfang quickly got off, put on her shoes, and ran outside.

She was Ding Dahu's concubine, and was twelve years older than Ding Mei.

After entering the door, he was not well received by Ding Mei.

They didn't dare to provoke Ding Mei, that little firecracker.

Ding Youliang, on the other hand, got along quite well with her after she coaxed him.

However, although she outwardly avoided offending Ding Mei, she secretly looked down on her.

Upon seeing that Ding Dahu had assigned him to follow Ding Mei, he felt the task was daunting.

I quickly jogged all the way.

Seeing Ding Mei walking towards Lu Yao's house from afar, he quietly followed behind.

The Lu family has already divided up the wolf meat.

A wolf can yield more than 30 kilograms of meat.

Thirty-two wolves yielded over a thousand catties of meat.

We are providing welfare for the elderly; each person over sixty years old receives two jin (approximately 1 kg).

They took away more than 100 kilograms.

Replace the rest with cornmeal.

They replaced it with over 500 kilograms of cornmeal.

No one else changed it.

Because there weren't many people in the whole village who could afford to exchange cornmeal for meat.

Later, Lu Yao suggested exchanging firewood for it.

Lu Yao didn't care whether it was a little more or a little less.

The goal is to ensure that all one hundred-plus households in the village can have some meat.

In the end, Lu Yao had six naked wolves left.

Lu Yao then distributed the meat to Li Erniu, Gou Shengzi, Tie Zhu, and the others who had helped him.

Cao Erdan, who had been chased away by Ge Sanwang, returned.

They got a wolf as a share and happily went home.

Although he was five or six years older than Lu Yao, he already considered himself Lu Yao's younger brother.

Lu Yao carried two wolf skins and threw them over the wooden wall to Grandpa Zuo's house in the east courtyard.

He shouted towards the window, "Grandpa Zuo, make a wolfskin rug for Xiaoying!"

Grandpa Zuo was so happy that he couldn't speak.

Zuo Xiaoying peeked at Lu Yao through the window, and when Lu Yao looked over, she quickly hid.

Lu Yao then carried a wolf leg and two jin of cornmeal to the other side of the road.

Deliver it to widow Yu Fen.

Sister-in-law Yufen didn't come to exchange the wolf meat.

She had nothing to offer in exchange.

Hearing the lively commotion from inside the courtyard, no one dared to leave and join in the fun.

Seeing that Lu Yao had given her such a gift, the unfortunate woman's eyes welled up with tears again.

Holding Lu Yao's hand, she said, "Little country bumpkin, your sister-in-law doesn't have much to give you, so... how about you stay at my house tonight?"
