Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Wang An chuckled, quickly reached out and pressed down on Shen Wei's clothes, saying:

"Mmm, I miss your Guagua, I'll be right there."

It's obvious that this melon is definitely not the same as that melon.

Wang An's words, coupled with his shameless actions, immediately made Shen Wei's face turn red, and she said coquettishly:

"Hmph, you scared me."

Looking at Shen Wei's alluring appearance, Wang An immediately felt an even stronger urge to miss her. He stepped forward, hoisted Shen Wei onto his shoulder, and, feigning anger, walked towards the east room, saying:

"What? You dare not think about your man? I think you really need a beating. Haven't I disciplined you in a few days? Huh?"

As he spoke, Wang An slapped Shen Wei's cotton-padded pants hard.

However, everyone was dressed warmly in winter, so there was no crisp sound when the slap landed.

Shen Wei, however, kept patting Wang An's back, saying with considerable embarrassment and annoyance:
"Hey, I can walk by myself, why are you carrying me?"

After walking a few steps to the east room, Wang An casually placed Shen Wei on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Ever since Wang An told Shen Wei to leave a mattress on the kang (heated brick bed) and not fold it up, Shen Wei has obediently done so.

In Northeast China, normally, after getting up in the morning, the quilts and bedding are folded up and placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then laid out again when going to bed at night.

Therefore, Wang An's decision to have Shen Wei not wear bedding was truly shameless.

Fortunately, outsiders rarely visit Shen Wei's home, so no one would laugh at Shen Wei for being rude.

After throwing Shen Wei onto the kang (a heated brick bed), Wang An immediately grabbed Shen Wei's clothes in a very urgent manner.

Shen Wei said, her face flushed with embarrassment:
"Oh dear, Xiao An, what happened to you? You've ruined my clothes. Can't you let me fix them myself?"

Shen Wei was quite helpless at this moment. It was just a joke, but Wang An always had to come up with something interesting, just like a lunatic.

In local parlance, it would be like having to do something outrageous.

Soon, a patch of pure white appeared on the kang (heated brick bed), so clean, so flawless, so eye-catching, so incredibly beautiful.

The main issue is that Shen Wei's figure is indeed somewhat disproportionate.

Especially that arrogant part, which always gave Wang An a very shocking and unreal feeling every time he saw it.

Looking at the woman on the kang (a heated brick bed) whose body proportions were severely off, Wang An couldn't help but smile wickedly and moved closer.

For some reason, Wang An suddenly remembered what happened between him and Lu Yueyue next to Niu Dali, and he felt incredibly excited, really excited.

Under this stimulation, Wang An, holding Shen Wei, felt an irrepressible power surging through his body.

This power is superfluous and must be used up, otherwise Wang An feels he won't be able to sleep at night.

Shen Wei, however, looked at Wang An's big face with a very focused and slightly aggrieved expression, just like a submissive little wife.

Judging from Shen Wei's expression, she seemed to be quite enjoying this treatment, and it's hard to know what her mentality was.
-
An hour and a half later, Wang An, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked out of Shen Wei's house looking refreshed.

It has to be said that Shen Wei is a really good woman.

When Wang An arrived home, he found Mu Xueli there. She had probably only been there a short time and was sitting on the sofa with a worried look on her face, seemingly lost in thought.

As for Mu Xueqing, she was watching TV with a rather unpleasant expression, neither speaking to nor paying attention to Mu Xueli, and seemed rather unhappy. Only the two little ones were having a great time playing with the two bear cubs, wrestling with them one by one.

To be honest, these two bear cubs are quite decent and kind. They're constantly plagued by happiness and joy, but they don't seem to mind at all. In fact, they seem to enjoy interacting with happiness and joy.

Wang An sensed that the siblings might have had a minor disagreement, so he didn't take it seriously and greeted Mu Xueli with a smile:

"Xue Li is here. Where have you been these past few days? How many hunting parties have you found?"

Wang An thoroughly enjoyed his banter with Shen Wei, and was in a very good mood.

Ever since Wang An decided to buy furs, Wang Li and Mu Xueli have been searching for hunters in various villages.

The main problem was that information spread very slowly in those days. Even now, many hunters in the villages are still unaware that Wang An has started collecting furs.

Therefore, the only option is to use this most basic method of notifying everyone one by one.

Of course, this is also why Wang An, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li collaborated to collect bear bile and fur, and although Wang An received the most money, he still only took 4% of the profits.

Because Wang An only received the most money, but the people who actually did the work were Wang Li and Mu Xueli. Apart from Wang An personally overseeing the collection of goods on the sixth day of each month, it can be said that Wang An did no work at all.

After Wang An finished asking, Mu Xueli did not answer. Instead, she lowered her eyes and said cautiously:

"Brother-in-law, I've been tricked and lost more than 5 yuan."

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could react, he saw Mu Xueqing's beautiful eyes widen in anger, her face filled with disappointment as she scolded Mu Xueli:
"You deserve it, you're nothing but a bunch of idiots. You act all high and mighty all day long. If you're so capable, why don't you solve your own problems? You always drag your brother-in-law into your messes. What right does your brother-in-law have over you?"

As she spoke, Mu Xueqing suddenly stretched out her long, slender, fair finger, pointed at Mu Xueli, and scolded:

"Get out of here right now, and don't ever come to my house again. I don't even want to look at you."

Upon hearing this, Wang An raised his eyebrows instantly, and his eyelids blinked several times involuntarily.

It was obvious that his wife was truly angry!

What puzzled Wang An was, what exactly had "set up" Mu Xueli? How could she have been tricked out of more than 5 yuan?

Keep in mind that 5 yuan in those days was not the same as 5 yuan in later years.

In later times, 5 yuan would be equivalent to a month's salary for an average person, but at that time, 5 yuan was equivalent to more than ten years' salary for a regular employee.

After Mu Xueqing finished yelling, Mu Xueli secretly glanced at her older sister several times. She was sitting on the sofa, almost curled up into a ball.

It's clear that although Mu Xueli is now married and about to have a child, her fear of Mu Xueqing hasn't diminished at all; she's still just as afraid of her older sister.

Mu Xueqing was about to scold Mu Xueli when Wang An interrupted, saying:

"What happened? What kind of trap did you set for yourself? And you got tricked into spending over 5 yuan? Holy crap! If you're not going to buy anything, why are you carrying so much money with you?"

After asking his question, Wang An grabbed a handful of pine nuts from the coffee table and started cracking them open. He had just gone through a fierce battle, and his stomach was indeed a little empty.

Mu Xueli glanced at Mu Xueqing several times before whispering to Wang An.

The matter was not complicated at all. With Mu Xueli's eloquence, she naturally finished speaking quickly without wanting to show off.

It turns out that what Mu Xueli meant by being "set up" was actually encountering a gambling expert.

The whole thing started when Su Guangjun's family, who lived not far from Mu Xueli's home, had a rather powerful relative visiting. Su Guangjun then asked Mu Xueli to play poker with him. Mu Xueli, thinking they were neighbors, foolishly went along. (End of Chapter)
