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

Chapter 509 I Want to Marry Ding Mei

At this moment, Xie Chunfang came to the kitchen.

The clanging sound of shoveling ashes from the furnace.

Ding Dahu also came out, speaking in a loud and gruff voice:

"Little Meizi, is the kang (heated brick bed) too cold? Should we add some more firewood?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao knew that the couple were afraid that he and his daughter would sleep together before marriage.

Get up, otherwise sitting there silently will only make you feel stifled.

Putting on shoes before going out:

"I'm going back now. Tomorrow I'll buy the gun, and then my mom and I will come over to propose to your dad!"

"Really?"

"Of course, I also need to prepare betrothal gifts."

Ding Mei excitedly leaned over the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed):

"Not too much, just a little will do. That's the gist of it!"

Lu Yao smiled and pinched her little cheek:

"How can that be? You're willing to marry a poor boy like me, I can't let you down. I have to make your father and stepmother think more highly of you!"

As she was about to leave, Ding Mei suddenly remembered to take a pair of newly made cotton shoes down from the windowsill:

"Don't go, try on the shoes first."

A pair of velvet-lined cotton shoes, neatly tucked in, with tightly stitched soles—every detail was perfect.

Just from a pair of shoes, you can tell that Ding Mei is a meticulous and rigorous person.

As soon as Lu Yao put it on, a wave of warmth washed over him, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

"Great, it's more comfortable than what my mom makes."

Ding Mei was secretly pleased, but she said to him, "Don't say that! If you say that, your aunt will get angry. You should tell your aunt, 'Little Mei's shoes are nice, but they're not quite as good as yours, Mom's.'"

"Hahaha……"

Lu Yao reached out and rubbed her little head, then picked it up and kissed it twice:

"Little Meizi, why are you being so well-behaved now!"

"When have I ever been naughty?"

"Always a good girl!"

Lu Yao couldn't help but think of his previous life again.

She would pinch herself for no reason. Once, when I called her a pervert, she slapped me on the knee.

He was in so much pain that he didn't have sex with Zheng Shuang for three days.

In this life, even if it were placed before her, she probably wouldn't be willing to accept it.

Reluctant to wear her new shoes, she took them off, tied the shoelaces together, draped them over her shoulder, and said goodbye to Ding Mei.

Ding Dahu and his wife were both in the kitchen.

As soon as Lu Yao came out, Xie Chunfang quickly pretended to fiddle with the stove fire.

Ding Dahu picked up a water ladle and drank some water.

Then, looking at Lu Yao with surprise:

"What, you're going back, you little rascal? Won't you stay a little longer?"

"No, I'll just grab my coat and head back."

Ding Dahu quickly went inside: "I'll go get it for you."

He went back to the east room to get Lu Yao's coat, and Lu Yao slapped Xie Chunfang's buttocks, which were sticking out there:

"Serves you right for owing me!"

"Oh my god!"

Xie Chunfang was startled, and the slap hurt quite a bit.

Ding Dahu came out and asked, "What's wrong? Why were you shouting?"

Xie Chunfang dared not say that Lu Yao had slapped her on the back, so she quickly lied:

"I...I got burned by the fire..."

"Idiot, be careful."

Ding Dahu believed it, and Xie Chunfang was proud of her quick thinking.

Luckily, I'm quick-witted.

She glanced at Lu Yao and glared at him.

When Lu Yao returned home, his mother was on the kang (a heated brick bed) arranging the twelve months with playing cards.

Xiaoqian sat opposite her and helped her pick up the cards.

It's been ten months since it opened, and there are still two months left. Lu Xiaoqian is extremely excited.

As a result, February was blocked by March, and March was blocked by February, so it didn't open for business for those two months.

Lu Xiaoqian was a little frustrated:

"Oh no, these past two months have been terrible."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Don't be superstitious. If you try it again and get the same result, it shows that things are ever-changing. Fate and man are both part of the equation. It's better to work hard than to leave things to fate."

Jiang Guizhi put away the playing cards: "Where did you run off to? You came back and disappeared without a trace."

"Go see my wife! Look, she made me these shoes."

Lu Xiaoqian jumped up, grabbed her shoes, put them on, and started walking around on the kang (heated brick bed) playing.

"Brother, when are you going to marry Sister Ding Mei?"

Lu Yao sat down in front of his mother and said, "Mom, I'm going to the city tomorrow to make a bracelet for Xiao Meizi as a betrothal gift. When I come back, will you come with me to present the betrothal gift? I want to marry Xiao Meizi."

Jiang Guizhi didn't take Lu Xiaoqian's rambling seriously, but Lu Yao spoke up earnestly at this moment, prompting Jiang Guizhi to ask:

"Son, getting married is a lifelong commitment. Have you thought it through? Little Meizi, please?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Who else could it be?"

"Why don't you consider... Shumei, Shuimiao... and Reporter Yang..."

Lu Xiaoqian sat down next to him: "No, no, my brother can't abandon Sister Ding Mei! Sister Ding Mei is still looking forward to his marriage! I don't agree!"

Jiang Guizhi sighed, "I'm not insisting that your brother not be with Xiao Meizi, I just want him to think it through. If he gets married, he can't be so close to other girls anymore."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about this. I'm going to marry Xiao Meizi, and that won't change."

As he spoke, he took out the small yellow croaker:

"I found this gold bar in the mountains. I told you it was left to me by my grandma and passed down to me by my dad. You mustn't let that slip, or it will be confiscated."

Lu Yaofang's bag, which Jiang Guizhi hadn't dared to touch, suddenly caught a jolt when she saw such a thick gold bar.

However, when Lu Yao said he found it in the mountains, he didn't say anything and promised to keep it a secret.

Since her son was determined to marry Xiao Meizi, Jiang Guizhi could only keep her opinion to herself.

……

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Lu Yao got up very early.

Go out and train some more.

Then go to the backyard.

Let's see if Lu Changyou's family has moved away yet.

She had already done more than enough by not letting Lin Dong kill Lu Fa, so it was not unreasonable for her to take back the house that rightfully belonged to her.

The family of three has already packed their bags.

Upon seeing Lu Yao approach, they immediately fell silent, looking at him timidly.

Lu Changyou, relying on his audacity:

"Tuwazi, we'll be leaving in a bit. We'll take the chests and cabinets in this house, and just the blankets and clothes, and the bowls, chopsticks, and pots... Is that alright?"

Lu Yao sighed, "Let's go. It's rare to see relatives like us end up like this. It's all your own fault. Don't ever come back!"

"Yeah, we're not coming back. I'll have Lu Ming lend us a car, okay?"

"I don't care which way you go, just don't let me see you in Jiapigou again."

"Yes, we understand."

This family was completely terrified yesterday after Lin Dong stabbed them with a knife.

Even if Lu Yao didn't chase them away, they wouldn't dare stay any longer.

Lu Yao came over to ask Lu Fa another question.

She called out to him, "Come here for a moment."

Lu Fa immediately hid behind Lu Changyou, shaking his head and slurring his words:

"I'm not going out... I'm not going..."

Lu Changyou angrily pulled him outside: "That country bumpkin didn't say he was going to beat you up, he just went because he called you, you little brat!"

Lu Yao looked at him and got angry.

This coward just can't stay put.

"Are you coming out with me, or am I going to drag you out?"

Even Madam Lu, who always doted on her son, advised him:

"Go on, if that country bumpkin wants to beat you, you don't have to go outside. Go quickly."

Lu Fa then came out timidly.

He wanted his parents to come along, but he didn't dare say so. The old couple didn't dare to come either, and followed Lu Yao into the yard, trembling.

Lu Yao turned to look at him: "I'm asking you, who told you that Cao Erdan told me to sleep with his wife?"
