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

"What? How can that be?"

"What do you mean by 'can't' or 'can't'? Who's in charge here? I'll talk to your boss tomorrow, and you can just stay home and recover."

Zhao Lei's assertiveness did not make the two women feel disgusted; on the contrary, it gave them a sense of domineering security.

They were both terrified when they got lost on the mountain.

But both of them stubbornly refused to say anything.

When the two sisters got lost, they didn't know what to do. They were cold, hungry, and afraid of the dark.

At that moment, the two felt incredibly frustrated, wishing they could meet someone who could lead them out of the forest and back home.

Then a beam of light appeared in the woods. At first, the two were delighted, but then they found it unbelievable.

After all, with such heavy rain, who would want to go into the woods?

Su Wanqing tried calling out, and it really was Zhao Lei!

The descent was much faster, and the three of them arrived home in about half an hour.

When they passed by Zhang Sanpo's house, Zhang Sanpo saw the three of them return and breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon returning home, Zhao Lei shouted as soon as he entered the yard, "Yu Chan, Yu Chan, quickly boil a pot of water."

Qin Yuchan came out and took a look.

Zhao Lei carried Su Wanqing on his back, while Jiang Xinyue, wearing a straw hat, was soaked to the bone and shivering.

"Oh dear, what happened?"

Zhao Lei carried Su Wanqing into the main room and gently placed her on a bench. He then breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh dear, don't even mention it. Those two silly women went mushroom picking and got lost in the woods. Quickly find something for them to dry their hair."

Zhao Lei didn't need to say anything; Qin Yuchan had already started working on it.

Zhao Lei had just bought a lot of daily necessities today, including dry towels, which she took out and gave to the two sisters.

Then I went to the room and found some dry clothes to take out.

"You all hurry up and dry yourselves off and change your clothes. I'll go boil some water so you can all take a hot shower later, otherwise you'll easily catch a cold."

After giving Qin Yuchan his instructions, Zhao Lei went to the woodshed to boil water.

As a man, Zhao Lei had a neat short haircut. He casually wiped it and then took off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest.

"Oh dear, I'm completely soaked."

While muttering to himself, Zhao Lei quickly took off his pants and underwear.

He started changing clothes in the main room without any hesitation in front of the two women, which immediately caused his two ex-wives to scream.

"Huh? San Shi, what are you doing? Can't you go to your room to change?"

While the two were talking, Zhao Lei had already put on his pants. He glanced at his two ex-wives and said, "You've both had children. You're not virgins anymore. Why are you still bothered by this? Hurry up and change your clothes too."

Seeing that the two women were dawdling for a long time and were still wearing wet clothes, Zhao Lei was about to go forward and help them change their clothes, which resulted in Jiang Xinyue pushing and shoving him.

"Hey Sanshi, get out of here! I feel bad with you here."

no way.

Zhao Lei was worried that if the two of them stayed too long, they would catch a cold.

He could only mutter as he walked towards the woodshed: "Honestly, you're putting on an act now, but you weren't this shy when you were sleeping."

In the woodshed, Qin Yuchan saw Zhao Lei walk in with his head down and sneered, "Sanshi, can't you be serious for once? You're divorced from all three of us women, are you still acting like a couple?"

Zhao Lei straightened his chest: "What? Aren't you a couple? It's not like we haven't met before..."

"you......."

Qin Yuchan was immediately speechless at Zhao Lei's words.

As Zhao Lei spoke, he rummaged through the cupboard and pulled out some old ginger, quickly sliced ​​it, and started boiling ginger water on the stove next to him.

"Yu Chan, are we out of brown sugar at home?"

"They're all gone now, these things are so expensive."

"You should have told me earlier if you needed anything at home, and I would have bought it all today."

Qin Yuchan retorted irritably, "Who knew you'd still be willing to buy things for the family? You never used to care about these things."

Faced with Qin Yuchan's accusations, Zhao Lei had nothing to say.

That was indeed the case before his rebirth; he basically never cared about the household chores.

However, he has now kept this matter in mind and plans to take a good look at what else the family is missing tomorrow and buy everything they need.

After a busy day, Su Wanqing and Jiang Xinyue not only changed their clothes but also took a hot shower.

The family finally sat down together and ate dinner in a relaxed atmosphere.

That evening, Zhao Lei sneaked into Su Wanqing's room.

At night, he snuggled into the covers and whispered, "Wanqing, were you frightened today?"

Su Wanqing mumbled, "Brother Sanshi, thank goodness you came. To be honest, Sister Xinyue and I were both very scared, cold, and hungry."

Zhao Lei couldn't help but pull Su Wanqing into his arms: "How's your foot?"

"I treated it myself; it's just a sprain."

"How could you be so stupid? Building a house requires making money. Relying on picking mushrooms would take forever."

"But I want to help too..."

"Silly girl."

Zhao Lei inhaled the fragrance of Su Wanqing's hair, held her tightly in his arms, and suddenly whispered, "Wanqing, why are you so hot? Let me check."

"Brother Sanshi, don't do that, I'm tired today."

The next day, Zhao Lei got up very early.

As he expected, Su Wanqing caught a cold last night.

At night, Zhao Lei felt that Su Wanqing's body was burning hot, and he prepared to take her to see a doctor several times.

But Su Wanqing said that she was a doctor herself, and she found some fever reducers at home. After taking them, she fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Lei told her to stay home today and that he would go to the clinic to ask for a day off for her.

Passing by Jiang Xinyue's room, Zhao Lei went in to take a look.

Sure enough, Xinyue also caught a fever and a cold. After giving her fever-reducing medicine, I patiently instructed her, "Don't go to the farm today either. Stay home. Both of you sisters are sick right now. I'll talk to the women's director later."

"Cough cough cough... Then I'll trouble you."

"We're husband and wife, isn't it too formal to say such things? Alright, just stay home. I'll take the child to Aunt Zhang's house later and ask her to help look after him."

After explaining everything, Zhao Lei finally left.

First, she took the child to Zhang Sanpo's house, and then ran into Qin Yuchan, who was on her way to work at school. She told her that Jiang Xinyue and Su Wanqing had fevers and colds, and asked her to come home early to cook.

Qin Yuchan readily agreed and hurried off to work.

Zhao Lei first went to the village doctor's clinic in the commune compound and asked the old Chinese medicine doctor for leave on behalf of Su Wanqing.

When the old Chinese medicine doctor heard that Su Wanqing had caught a cold from being caught in the rain, he specially prepared some Chinese medicine to remove dampness, reduce fever, and stop coughing, and gave it to Zhao Lei so that he could take it back and brew it properly.

Zhao Lei thanked him repeatedly and was about to pay, but the old Chinese medicine doctor refused him firmly.

Helpless, Zhao Lei could only accept it silently, and casually slipped a pack of Hongmei brand cigarettes he had bought the day before to the old Chinese medicine doctor.

The old Chinese medicine doctor accepted the cigarette with obvious delight, and said with a smile, "Hey, Lei Zi, you've made some money hunting, now you're smoking Hongmei brand cigarettes?"
