Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

Zhao Lei squinted and thought for a while.

"They originally wanted to borrow my car, but I refused, so they set their sights on you. What's the difference between stealing your car and stealing mine? In the end, it's all going to be sent to Zhou Laogen's house as a betrothal gift."

I suspect it was Zhou Minghong and his wife who instigated it. They know the way to your house and have figured out your habit of parking your car in the yard at night, which is why they made their move!

Wang Xiaohu clenched his fists in anger: "How can these people be so shameless! They stole a car and then flaunt it like this, they have absolutely no respect for anyone! Brother Lei, what do you say we do? I'll do whatever you say!"

Zhao Lei threw the shovel on the ground: "Alright, I understand what's going on. Don't make a fuss yet, let me figure out how to deal with them..."

"Brother Lei, you have another idea?"

Zhao Lei smiled and said nothing more...

The next few days.

Zhao Lei didn't make a fuss, and continued to greet everyone as usual, working and eating as if nothing had happened.

Wang Dalong and Wang Xiaohu would often secretly watch him while they were working, wanting to ask him but not daring to.

I just don't feel like this is Lei Ge's style.

What's Lei Ge up to?

Something unusual is definitely going on; they must be planning something big!

Qin Bowen couldn't hold back any longer and came over during the lunch break to ask, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say you were thinking about how to deal with Zhou Minghong? It's been almost a day, and you haven't made a move. What are you planning?"

Zhao Lei squatted down against the wall, smoking, and chuckled, "What's the rush? The thing thieves fear most is being watched. The less you move, the more uneasy they'll feel, and the easier it will be for them to slip up."

Qin Bowen scratched his head: "So we're just going to wait here like this?"

"Of course not."

Zhao Lei stubbed out his cigarette, patted Qin Bowen on the shoulder, and said, "That old bastard Zhou Laogen is still showing off everywhere, he's practically throwing a tantrum... Let him be happy for a few days."

Qin Bowen immediately panicked: "Isn't it obvious that it's your car? Just go and expose him!"

Zhao Lei shook his head: "What if he denies it now? He's already refurbished the car and insists he bought it in town. What can you do about it? I need to wait for more information..."

Qin Bowen pondered for a moment: "Brother-in-law, stop beating around the bush, what's the news?"

Zhao Lei stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Since Zhou Shijie delivered the car to his father-in-law's house, it means the marriage is almost settled. I'll give him a big surprise!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bowen seemed to understand somewhat.

He immediately grinned mischievously, giving Zhao Lei a thumbs-up. "Brilliant! Brother-in-law, you're truly brilliant! When it comes to being ruthless and cunning, you're the best!"

"Damn! Are you praising me or insulting me?!"

Zhao Lei, in a fit of anger, unleashed a flurry of flying kicks on Qin Bowen, which only made Qin Bowen burst into laughter.

Zhao Lei was also busy for the next two days.

He told Wang Xiaohu to keep an eye on things around Zhou Laogen's house after he returned to the village, and also told Wang Dalong to keep an eye on whether Zhou Shijie had any contact with outsiders.

On the morning of the third day.

Wang Xiaohu rushed to Zhao Lei's construction site, looking a little anxious: "Brother Lei, Zhou Laogen's family is holding an engagement banquet tomorrow. Zhou Shijie went over early this morning, saying he was helping with the arrangements. I heard from the villagers that several of Zhou Laogen's brothers are coming to the wedding banquet and want to see their future son-in-law in person."

Zhao Lei laughed as soon as he heard that.

He has finally gotten the perfect opportunity!

Zhou Minghong, don't you like to make trouble?

Li Xiuying, don't you like to throw tantrums?

Okay, okay...

I defeated magic with magic in one move!

Let's see if you'll still have the nerve to wander around Tuanjie Township again!

"Great! Let's take advantage of their relatives being here at noon and talk this out face to face."

Wang Xiaohu was still a little worried: "But Brother Lei, what if the other party denies everything?"

"Don't worry, Xiaohu. I already had Zongbao check the shopping list at the supply and marketing cooperative and copy down the stamped number on the frame. The dealership registered that old 28-inch motorcycle when we bought it; it's engraved under the seat tube."

Even if they repaint and wipe the frame, the steel stamp can't be erased. It will be irrefutable evidence!

Wang Xiaohu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Brother Lei, you were prepared all along!"

"Go and call Da Long, let's go to Zhou Laogen's wedding banquet together!"

Not long after.

Around noon, Zhao Lei, along with Qin Bowen, Wang Dalong, and Wang Xiaohu, arrived at Zhou Laogen's house.

From afar, you could hear laughter and firecrackers coming from Zhou Laogen's courtyard, a lively scene.

"Brother Lei, this is Zhou Laogen!" Wang Xiaohu pointed forward.

Zhao Lei parked the old-fashioned motorcycle he borrowed from Wang Zongbao at the door. "You don't need to tell me, I could hear them setting off firecrackers from far away."

Qin Bowen raised his leg to kick open the door, but was stopped by Zhao Lei.

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

"Brother-in-law, why waste time talking to them? Just lay it all out!"

"You idiot! By barging in like this, you've gone from being in the right to being in the wrong! Get out of the way!"

After saying that, Zhao Lei pushed Qin Bowen aside and stepped forward to open the courtyard gate.

The four brothers immediately noticed that four or five tables had been set up in Zhou Laogen's yard, and many people, including relatives and neighbors, had come and filled the place.

Zhou Laogen even wore a new jacket and greeted the guests with a ruddy complexion.

Zhou Shijie, dressed in a clean blue Zhongshan suit, was talking to several middle-aged men beside him.

The appearance of Zhao Lei and his group immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard, who all looked towards the entrance.

Zhou Shijie, dressed in a clean blue Zhongshan suit, was pouring water for several elders with a teapot when he looked up and saw Zhao Lei. His smile instantly froze.

Zhao Lei?

Why is he here?

Did Xiaolian's family hire Zhao Lei?

How come I had no idea they were so close...?

Zhou Shijie thought of many things in an instant, but he didn't think about the 28th Port.

Today is the day Zhou Shijie's whole family goes to the woman's house to "see the door," which is equivalent to an engagement.

Zhou Shijie was still immersed in joy.

He naively thought that his future father-in-law had casually invited his cousin as well.

Zhao Lei glanced around and found quite a few familiar faces.

Qin Sufeng, who had been publicly slapped in the buttocks by him, was also present.

And they were seated at the head table, which clearly indicates they were matchmakers.

Qin Sufeng also saw Zhao Lei, and her heart skipped a beat when she was stared at by his sharp eyes.

I go!

Why is Zhao Lei, that jinx, here?

Qin Sufeng was lucky she wasn't beaten to death by Zhao Lei when she went to act as a matchmaker for Su Wanqing last time!

Later, Zhao Lei sent Zhao Chenghu, who had asked her to be his matchmaker, directly to prison.

Even if she had a million lives, she wouldn't dare to provoke Zhao Lei again.

"Didn't Zhou Minghong and Zhao Lei have a falling out?"

"Is he trying to use this opportunity to ease tensions between the two families?"
