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

Chapter 423 Why did you take me to a deserted place?

The sisters, Yuan Shuya and Yuan Shumei, watched them walk out from the kang (a heated brick bed).

The Yang family father and son were so humble that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

Yang Shouye jogged to the front, lifted the curtain, and opened the door. Yang Ming followed behind, at a loss, not knowing what to say or do.

He was completely different from the ordinary people I usually see.

Yang Shouye was laughing so hard his eyes were almost closed, bowing and scraping:

"Mr. Yuan, please slow down! My dear in-law, please slow down too..."

Once outside, he supported Yuan Tianchu's arm as they walked, like a eunuch serving his master.

Seeing that they had all left, Yuan Shuya turned back to her sister and asked:

"Shumei, Xiao Lu is so handsome, do you like him? I like him too."

Yuan Shumei quickly slapped her: "Don't talk nonsense, your brother-in-law will be unhappy if he hears this."

Shuya stuck out her tongue: "Yes, he doesn't let me mention Lu Yao in front of him, and my father-in-law doesn't allow it either."

Yuan Shumei looked at her naive and innocent older sister.

He asked, "Is the Yang family... good to you?"

"Great, they all adore me. It's just that my mother-in-law is a bit scary. She doesn't really care about me, she always makes me do chores, and she says I can't do them well!"

Yuan Shumei sighed.

I also know that my sister has a hard time in this snobbish family.

They must be taking advantage of my sister's low intelligence, that's why they say one thing to her face and another behind her back.

Unfortunately, I can't interfere in other people's family affairs.

You can't even sort out your own affairs, so don't worry about other people's.

By then, all the people who had seen off the guests had returned.

Lu Yao had said everything he needed to say to Yang Shouye at the dinner table and didn't want to stay any longer.

Greet Yuan Shumei upon entering:

"Shall we go back too?"

"it is good."

Yuan Shumei also didn't want to stay at the Yang family's house.

As he got out of bed to put on his shoes, Yang Ming quickly bent down and picked them up.

The servile attitude he felt from being suppressed by Yuan Tianshu's imposing manner hadn't worn off yet.

He had to bend down to put shoes on his sister-in-law.

Yuan Shumei quickly moved her foot away so he wouldn't touch her.

Yang Shouye pulled Lu Yao aside: "Little Lu, why don't we have some more drinks before you go back? It's not far anyway. We have nothing to do during the New Year, so let's just have a drink."

"No, I have things to do back in the village, so I won't drink."

Yang Shouye was a little drunk, and he kept lingering on Lu Yao's hand. Lu Yao glared at him.

"I said I have something to do back home, do you understand?"

Yang Shouye was startled and immediately became much more sober:

"Okay, I understand. Yaping, escort Company Commander Lu to his place. Son, quickly escort Lu and Shumei to their place!"

Gao Yaping, standing to the side, felt uneasy watching this.

Why does my husband seem so spineless? He's not usually like this!

It's understandable that you're a little humble towards the old chairman, since he's in a higher position than you. But why are you being so deferential to a mere militiaman?

Lu Yao led Yuan Shumei outside, looking at Yang Shouye with a beaming smile.

I reached out and patted him on the shoulder:

"If you trust me, be more discreet in the future. Don't touch any money other than your salary. Balance up all the old accounts if you can, so you can safely get to retirement. Otherwise, the higher-ups will definitely focus on investigating township officials in the next two years. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand..."

Yang Shouye nodded repeatedly.

Gao Yaping, watching from behind, felt an urge to kick her husband.

She felt ashamed that the head of the family was so lowly.

After Lu Yao left, Yang Shouye returned, and Gao Yaping couldn't help but scold him:

"That little militiaman is really putting on airs, warning the commune chief. Does he not know the difference between the big and small fry?"

Yang Shouye glared at him: "Such a woman's view! Didn't you see how respectful the old chairman was to him? How dare you speak so arrogantly? Little Lu is a master; he's showing me the way!"

After saying that, Gao Yaping and Yuan Shuya rushed out to wash the dishes, while Gao Yaping lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) to meditate.

The old chairman is being so polite to Lu Yao, does that mean he's also caught Lu Yao's weakness?

What did Lu Yao mean by telling him to be more discreet? What rumors had he heard?

Hmph, how could he be so good to me?

They just want to take advantage of me.

How can I turn over and stop being pinned down by him?

He didn't even want the money his daughter-in-law offered him...

He racked his brains for a long time, but even after falling asleep, he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Meanwhile, the Yuan family of three, walking back, were also discussing Lu Yao.

There were almost no people on the road during the Chinese New Year, and the three of them pushed their bikes without riding them.

Yuan Hai complained to Yuan Tianchu, somewhat angrily:

"Hmph, that brat Lu Yao doesn't give me any face at all. You should at least agree to it first. I don't care if we don't date later, but you can't just say you won't date Shumei to her face!"

Yuan Tianchu glared at him: "Are you complaining about me making you propose marriage?"

"No, I'm just angry with Lu Yao."

Yuan Tianchu sighed: "This child is not simple. His maturity and cunning are astonishing... Dahai, you are no match for him."

He said one sentence and then fell silent.

He was thinking to himself that he would have someone investigate Lu Yao's methods more thoroughly later.

A little kid who's never left the village couldn't possibly have this ability.

The information is definitely inaccurate.

The original intention of bringing Lu Yao here today was to win him over and to test his background.

Not only did he gain nothing, he also felt that the kid was testing him and that he had already sensed something.

……

Yuan Tianchu was startled, and Lu Yao felt the same way.

After leaving the Yang family's house, Yuan Shumei and he didn't immediately get on their bicycles.

Walking alongside her, I asked:

"You and your grandfather don't seem very close?"

"Ever since I was a child, I've felt that my grandfather was suppressing my father and wasn't close to us. How could I possibly be close to him!"

Lu Yao smiled: "I feel the same way. I also have a grandfather who suppresses my father, but I feel they are quite different. Your grandfather seems to always have ulterior motives, while my grandfather is just a bully in the countryside who only takes advantage of small things."

Yuan Shumei looks at Lu Yao:

"How are you so smart? You could tell my grandfather was up to something the moment we met? I didn't see it at all!"

"Those involved are often blinded. You get used to some things after watching them for a long time, but I see things much more clearly now that we've met. Your father has to look at your grandfather before saying anything meaningful; that's clearly not a normal father-son relationship!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Yuan Shumei really didn't notice.

She couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying that my dad's marriage proposal, wanting us to date, was my grandpa's idea? Grandpa has never cared about me at all. He's too lazy to even talk to me."

Lu Yao frowned: "That's even stranger."

They didn't go into detail, after all, Yuan Tianchu was Yuan Shumei's grandfather.

Even if we're not close, we're still family.

But Lu Yao had already made up his mind.

During the dinner, Yang Shouye inadvertently revealed that he had invited Yuan Hai and his wife over for dinner the day before.

There was no mention of the old chairman coming.

Moreover, Yuan Tianchu had never visited the Yang family.

When they heard that I wasn't coming, they rescheduled the event.

At the dinner table, Yuan Tianshu's attention was entirely on him. Could it be that this old man was coming for him?

Why?

Looking at Yuan Shumei, she said, "Come on, I'll take you for a stroll around the militia company. Today, apart from the people on duty in the front yard, there shouldn't be anyone else in the back yard."

Yuan Shumei's heart skipped a beat: Why is he taking me to a deserted place?
