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

Jiang Guizhi invited Yang Shouye and the others into the house for a drink of water.

Just as I entered the courtyard, someone outside called out again:

"We have guests! We have guests!"

Everyone turned around and saw a jeep parked at the entrance, from which three people got out.

The man in front was in his fifties, wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a smile on his face.

Following behind was a young man in his early twenties, looking dejected with red and swollen eyes.

"Who is this?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

"Director Zheng of the Cultural Center, Zheng Baoli."

One of Zhao Scarface's henchmen whispered:

That's his son, Zheng Wenli.

Zheng Baoli was not qualified to have a car provided, so he borrowed one to make a show of it.

He walked up to Jiang Guizhi with a broad smile:

"Sister-in-law, congratulations! I've known for a long time that Lu Yao is a promising young man."

Jiang Guizhi politely let her walk inside.

As Zheng Baoli walked, he kept turning back to glare at his son. Zheng Wenli kept his head down, didn't say a word, and followed behind, shuffling inside.

At that moment, car horns sounded outside again.

A sidecar motorcycle drove up.

Zuo Shouquan came down from above.

Behind them were two jeeps parked at the entrance.

The car door opened, and a dozen or so people got out, all wearing police uniforms, their cap badges gleaming in the sunlight.

The group was led by a woman with short, ear-length hair and bright, intelligent eyes; she was undeniably elegant and graceful.

Behind them was a tall, burly man and a dozen or so young police officers, all walking into the courtyard.

"This...this is the Public Security Bureau, right?"

"My God, this setup, could it be... an arrest?"

Everyone was on tenterhooks.

Even Yang Shouye wanted to go to the toilet to hide for a while.

It's a pity there's no toilet in the yard; it's obvious at a glance.

The warehouse door still had a lock.

Who are these people here to arrest?

Those with guilty consciences tremble at the sight of so many police officers.

"That woman is Bureau Chief Mei Ping!"

Sun Erbiao whispered in Zhao Balai's ear.

Even Zhao Scarface, this gangster boss, gasped in shock.

Mei Ping is now a very famous person in Jiangzhou County.

While leading a team to suppress bandits, they actually wiped out a group of remaining Japanese troops.

His ability to dismantle Shi Shouyin's command post and uncover Japanese spies who had been hiding for many years earned him widespread fame.

I've seen it in the newspaper, but it doesn't look as good in person.

These big, deep, and clear eyes exude an aura when they look at people.

Mei Ping walked up to Jiang Guizhi and took her hand:

"Auntie, I've come to ask for a drink at your wedding. You don't mind, do you?"

Jiang Guizhi quickly said, "Oh dear, what's this all about? It's such a blessing for the Lu family that Director Mei is here!"

Actually, Mei Ping is only about ten years younger than Jiang Guizhi, but according to Lu Yao's side, she should be called aunt.

Mei Ping waved her hand with a smile: "What director or not, today I'm Lu Yao's older sister. Captain Wang, you guys bring in the police team's congratulatory gifts."

Criminal Investigation Team Leader Wang Kun responded and led several officers to unload items from the vehicle:

A pair of thermos flasks, an enamel basin, and a Saijo pillowcase, all printed with the words "Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau".

There was also a bag of apples.

The most eye-catching item was a banner held by Captain Wang Kun himself.

The eight large, gold-bordered characters at the top are clearly written:

"A model wedding, a revolutionary union"

Everyone in the courtyard turned their attention to it.

The police chief came in person, bringing so many people with him—who else has that kind of influence?

Before they could react, another car pulled up outside.

This time it was a military green jeep with a white "August 1st" emblem printed on the door.

Three people got off: a man in military uniform, a woman in a neat Lenin suit, and a young woman in her early twenties with a braid.

"Oh dear, Minister Ju is here! He and his family of three are here too!"

Yang Shouye excitedly came out to greet him.

He was overjoyed to learn that Mei Ping and the others hadn't come to arrest him, and took the initiative to greet them.

However, Ju Zhenghua simply nodded to him and then went to Jiang Guizhi.

He shook hands with Jiang Guizhi, his voice booming:

"Sister-in-law, congratulations! Where's Lu Yao? Did he go to pick up his bride?"

Yu Lan followed behind, smiling as she said:

"Sister-in-law, we've come to join in the fun, are you tired of us?"

Ju Wen stood behind her parents, looking into the crowd, trying to see where Lu Yao was and who the bride was. She hadn't seen anyone who was Lu Yao's wife yet.

In her imagination, she must be eight times prettier than herself, otherwise how could she have kept Lu Yao, that womanizer, by her side!

Jiang Guizhi couldn't stop smiling:

"Minister Ju, you're too kind! Please come in!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the commune members outside shouted:

"Oh dear, another car has arrived. We don't usually see this many Jeeps in Jiangzhou. Several have come already. This must be another leader!"

Sure enough, another jeep was parked at the entrance.

This time, a woman came down, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, wearing glasses and a Zhongshan suit, one hand in her pocket, exuding an even more imposing aura than Mei Ping. A tall man followed closely behind her.

"Who is this?"

Nobody knows him.

"Team Leader Shi from the Education and Health Bureau! The new top leader!" a henchman with a bandage wrapped around his head behind Zhao Scarface said in a low voice, "I heard he has a really powerful backer!"

Zhao Balai turned to look at him and couldn't help but smile:

"You know quite a few."

The younger brother gave an awkward smile:

"She was the one who signed my divorce papers; she's the head of our bureau."

This younger brother is Song Zhe.

His head was covered in bruises from being beaten, and only his mouth and eyes were visible, all wrapped in gauze.

Zheng Baoli walked past him without even glancing at him, and couldn't recognize him at all as the man who had been at his house naked that night.

Shi Mengyi glanced at the lively scene in the courtyard, a slight smile playing on her lips, and walked up to Jiang Guizhi:

"Auntie, I'm Shi Mengyi, Lu Yao's friend. I'm here uninvited, please don't mind."

Jiang Guizhi was already a little confused and could only nod:

"No, no, please come in."

Liang Chunlin followed behind, carrying two bottles of wine and a bag of pastries, and walked inside with his head down.

There wasn't enough room for so many people inside, so everyone had to stand in the yard.

Even the courtyard felt cramped.

Grandpa Zuo first used a pickaxe to cut open the corn stalks, which were several meters wide.

The two courtyards were then connected.

If there's not enough room in this courtyard, go to the east courtyard.

Seeing this, Lu Ming was not to be outdone, and took the lead in knocking down a few of the wooden planks on his side as well.

Now that the three courtyards are connected, they can accommodate many more people.

Those inside and outside the courtyard were speechless as they looked at these rare and distinguished guests.

Just now I thought Zhao Bala and Zhang Zongshan were quite important, but now I see that the director of the Public Security Bureau, the Minister of Armed Forces, and the head of the Culture, Education and Health Bureau are all very influential figures.

This caused the members who didn't know Lu Yao very well to keep asking each other questions.

"Just who is this Company Commander Lu?"

"You don't know? He's Director Mei's savior, and he's also on good terms with Minister Ju."

"It's rumored that Minister Ju is his godfather..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of a car outside again.

This time it was a Jeep and a Hongqi sedan.

Two cars stopped one after the other, the doors opened, and several people got out.

The man in front was a man in his early teens, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit and glasses, with an extraordinary air about him.

Some people in the crowd had distorted voices, sounding quite excited:

"That's...that's County Magistrate Hao...I've seen him in the Jiangzhou Weekly."

The commune members immediately craned their necks and squeezed forward, all wanting to see what the county magistrate looked like.
