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

Chapter 526 Shopping, Delivering Good News

Zheng Wenli took the paper and wiped it:

"Hmph, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it's not a good thing for you two, a man and a woman, to be alone in the house."

Lu Yao's eyes widened:

"If you keep saying that, I'll tell everyone about you secretly reading 'Jin Ping Mei'."

"I didn't see it."

"Then don't talk nonsense, or I'll have the entire militia come out and say something, and you'll see if anyone believes you for saying you didn't see anything. I told you, you were watching while doing something else..."

"Oh dear, you're slandering me. Stop talking..."

"Then learn to shut up."

"..."

Looking at Lu Yao, Zheng Wenli felt like he had met his nemesis.

No matter how you compete, you'll always lose.

I was so angry that I had an urge to pounce on him and bite him.

Lu Yao took out a handful of candies and placed them on the table:

"On the 26th of the first lunar month, if you have time, go to the wedding banquet. But don't cause any trouble, or I'll beat you up, and my friends will beat you up too."

Yang Shouye felt uncomfortable listening to this: "Stop with the 'you all,' Xiao Lu, I didn't say anything about causing trouble!"

"That would be best. If they ruin my wedding, I'll definitely lose my temper."

After saying that, he left.

Just as Yang Shouye was about to take a piece of candy, Zheng Wenli grabbed it and threw it into the stove.

"Hmph, you stole my boyfriend and bullied me, so I'll cause trouble and see if you can kill me!"

Yang Shouye sighed:

"Forget it, Xiao Zheng, you can't beat him."

As she spoke, she opened Zheng Wenli's drawer:

"Do you really have *Jin Ping Mei*?"

Zheng Wenli roared, "I haven't read 'Jin Ping Mei'! He's framing me!"

He crumpled the blood-stained paper in his hand into a ball.

Suddenly remembering something, I picked up Yang Shouye's book and started reading:

"Where did you get the book 'Shaolin Capturing Techniques'?"

Yang Shouye looked puzzled: "Did those guys from the militia company bring it over while they were on duty? What's wrong?"

Zheng Wenli gazes upwards at a 45-degree angle, meditating:

"I remember the title page of this book... I remember that smell too, Lu Yao said he and that girl were fine... Hmph, why does that piece of paper smell of blood and horse racing!"

……

Lu Yao got out and got into the car.

Ding Mei and Yuan Shumei were both sitting in the back seat.

He started the car and drove off.

"Those lads in the militia are going crazy as soon as they hear I'm getting married. They're itching to make a scene at the wedding night. Little Mei, you'd better be prepared."

"..."

Ding Mei remained silent.

Lu Yao turned to look at her:

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Ding Mei asked, "What happened with Zheng Wenli saying you were in the militia company dormitory? I don't think he was lying."

Lu Yao stopped the car and looked back:

"Little Rose, look into my eyes."

Ding Mei asked the question with doubt in mind, feeling uncertain and afraid that Lu Yao would be angry.

I was a little afraid to look at him at that moment.

Lu Yao said, "I swear to God, I'll always consider you my closest person in this life. You're like family to me. I'd give my life for you! Do you want me to say anything more?"

Ding Mei was moved by Lu Yao's sincerity and reached out to touch his face.

"Alright, don't be angry. I was just asking casually. Even if I believe you, I can't believe him. Zheng Wenli definitely has some kind of illness."

Yuan Shumei also said, "Yes, Xiao Meizi, you can't let an outsider affect your relationship. That guy is hoping you and Lu Yao break up; he'll be gloating."

Upon hearing this, Ding Mei realized she had been foolish to ask such a question.

As Lu Yao drove off again, Ding Mei began discussing with Yuan Shumei what to buy for the wedding.

They took both of them to Yuan Shumei's house.

Lu Yao threw a hundred yuan at Ding Mei.

Buy her whatever she likes.

Yuan Shumei glanced at Lu Yao but didn't say anything.

I felt uneasy.

You borrowed money from me to buy a gun, but you gave money to Ding Mei to buy things.

However, he quickly consoled himself:

They're a young couple planning a wedding, so naturally they have to give the bride some money.

Lu Yao left Ding Mei and Yuan Shumei behind and then came out.

He not only had to buy some wedding supplies, but also had to tell his friends.

In this era of poor communication, distant relatives had to rely on letters and telegrams, while local relatives would deliver good news in person.

Lu Yao had no distant relatives, and the people in the city were all friends, not relatives.

My godfather, Ju Zhenghua, along with Director Mei Ping, Zhao Balai from the local products company, and other friends.

For such a big event as marriage, you have to personally deliver the message.

The wedding was arranged a bit hastily, so once it was finalized, we had to send the message.

It's already the tenth day of the lunar month, and all the units in the city have long since resumed normal operations.

He first went to Zhao Scarface's workplace to find him.

Tell him you're getting married, and while you're at it, exchange your national grain coupons for some cloth coupons and cotton coupons at his place.

They also make new quilts for weddings.

Zhao Balai was very surprised when they met:

"Brother, you're still driving a car from Heishui Road? Did you know Shi Shouyin was beaten to death and the command post was taken over by the county?"

Lu Yao chuckled: "I know, it was our militia company that did it in cooperation with the police."

Zhao the Scarface's eyes widened in disbelief:

"You...cooperated with the police to deal with Shi Shouyin?"

"What's so strange about that? The militia and the police are the same; they both fight crime and maintain order!"

Zhao Scarface took a step back, looked Lu Yao up and down, and gave him a thumbs up:

"Bro, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're amazing, absolutely amazing!"

To Zhao Balai, Shi Shouyin was like a king.

I wouldn't even dare to think about getting rid of him.

He immediately looked at Lu Yao with new respect.

I definitely need to have a good drink with Lu Yao.

When Lu Yao mentioned that he was getting married and had many things to prepare, Zhao Balai couldn't help but feel quite sorry for him.

"Why get married when you're perfectly fine on your own? You'd have to keep an eye on your wife; she might cheat on you without you even noticing!"

Lu Yao was so angry that she wanted to kick him.

He thought all women were like his wife.

However, Zhao Scarface was still very efficient in getting things done.

They enlisted the help of the brothers Sun Dabiao and Sun Erbiao to exchange various tickets for Lu Yao.

Cloth coupons, cotton coupons, meat coupons...

Lu Yao then took out the remaining gold bar:

"Hey guys, can you lend me a hand? I desperately need money."

Zhao the Scarface picked it up and weighed it in his hand:

"This is 100 grams, which is currently worth a little over three yuan per gram at the bank. However, recycling requires supporting documentation. Too much will definitely arouse suspicion..."

Lu Yao shook his head: "The bank's price is too low. I came to you because I want to go through the black market."

Sun Erbiao nodded: "I know people who deal in gold and silver on the black market. This one should fetch over six hundred. Brother Lu, can you trust me? If you do, I'll take it and ask around for you. If you can sell it, I'll get the money back for you tomorrow."

Zhao the Scarface laughed, "Take it, Brother Lu, you're not afraid of running away. He even dealt with Shi Shouyin, do you dare to run away?"

Once this topic is brought up, the Sun brothers and Lu Yao inevitably start asking around again.

Knowing that Lu Yao was so familiar with the director of the Public Security Bureau, the Sun brothers immediately showed Lu Yao even more respect.

Everyone says that Lu Yao will definitely arrive very early on his wedding day.

Lu Yao took out the various supply coupons he had exchanged with Zhao Balai.

Shop at department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and other similar places.

We arrived at Ju Zhenghua's house around noon.

When I knocked on the door, Ju Wen opened it.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Yao, his eyes immediately widened:

"You brat, you dare to come here?"
