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

Liu Hongxia continued, "But Xiao Jiang really surprised me. She comes from such a good family and grew up in a sweet environment, but she's incredibly hardworking. She takes on all the heavy, tiring, and dirty work. She's truly a rare and wonderful girl..."

Speaking of Jiang Xinyue, Liu Hongxia couldn't help but start criticizing Zhao Lei again.

"I have to say, Zhao Lei, I don't know what good fortune you accumulated in your past life. Although Xiao Jiang's family background isn't great, they don't mind that you're a divorced person. They've been very devoted to your Zhao family, haven't they?"

Zhao Lei was scolded again, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Sister Xia, you're right."

"Zhao Lei, you need to straighten out your attitude. As her older sister, I have to speak up for her. You have three ex-wives now, so don't neglect Xiao Jiang. If you dare to go out and have affairs again, all the sisters at the pig farm will object, and we'll stand up for Xiao Jiang!"

Zhao Lei was surprised that Jiang Xinyue was so popular at the pig farm; they were practically like family to her.

"Sister Xia, I was immature before, but I'm clear-headed now. Look how well I treat them now, right? I give all the money I earn to Xinyue to manage. I just think that since she was sent down to our Heping Brigade alone, she feels safer having the money in her hands."

"Hey, that's right! Lei Zi, at least what you said makes sense. But Sister Xia and all the other women at the pig farm are watching, so you're not allowed to bully our Xiao Jiang."

"Don't worry, Sister Xia, I'm eating human food, defecating human feces, and doing human things now!"

Liu Hongxia burst out laughing at Zhao Lei's sudden joke.

"Haha, Lei Zi, now I know why these three women like you so much. You really know how to make women happy. But seriously, Lei Zi, when are you going to remarry Xin Yue?"

"You need to nod, and I'll go get it notarized right now and stamp your marriage certificate. That way, Xiao Jiang will feel at ease."

When the topic of remarriage came up, Zhao Lei smiled awkwardly and then brought up work again: "Sister Xia, I've been asking you about finding Xinyue a new job, but you haven't answered me yet."

"Oh, right, right. Actually, changing jobs isn't a bad idea, but once you change, it won't be so easy to come back. Changing jobs is simple, you just have Xinyue write an application, and I'll sign it and file it for her."

Zhao Lei nodded quickly: "Okay, Sister Xia, I understand. I have to go now."

After saying that, Zhao Lei ran out of the farm in a flash.

Liu Hongxia, furious, slammed her hand on the table: "Hey, Zhao Lei, I was just telling you about your remarriage with Xiao Jiang! And now you're changing the subject again!"

Seeing Zhao Lei disappear in a flash, Liu Hongxia sighed and cursed, "Men's words are deceitful. When Xiao Jiang comes to work, I'll have to tell her to be careful of you!"

Deputy Director Qin Yulan had just finished inspecting the pigsty when she came out and saw Liu Hongxia jumping up and down in anger. She went up to her and said, "Who just ran out? Why are you so angry?"

"Magnolia, you've finally arrived! I have something to tell you..."

As we left the farm, the light rain that had been falling all morning finally stopped.

Zhao Lei went directly to his father-in-law Qin Mancang's house.

As a result, Qin Bowen was the only one sleeping in at home, and he was kicked out of bed by him.

"Hey? Brother-in-law, what brings you here?"

"You brat! What time is it? Why are you still sleeping in?"

Zhao Lei seemed to want to vent all the scolding he received from Li Wensong and Liu Hongxia on Qin Bowen.

Qin Bowen, who had just woken up, was completely confused and could only nod repeatedly, letting his brother-in-law lecture him.

After he washed his face and calmed down, he realized what was happening: "Hey? Brother-in-law? Something's not right. Did you eat gunpowder today?"

"Why would I eat gunpowder? I'll eat explosives!"

"Brother-in-law, I didn't do anything to you, and you just started yelling at me. I feel wronged."

Zhao Lei pointed to the clear weather outside and scolded, "You're still complaining? Look at the weather outside! Have you forgotten what we promised Factory Director Li yesterday? Do you still want to make money to get married?"

Qin Bowen suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh dear! I almost forgot about that. Brother-in-law, you were right. Shall we go fishing today?"

"What kind of fish should we catch? Let's scout out the location first, find a good spot, and then go to Sanhe Township to borrow the tools."

"Yes, yes, look, I'm still not fully awake."

So Zhao Lei took Qin Bowen to the house next door where Qin Dashan lived, but only his sister-in-law was home.

At this moment, Qin Dashan's wife, who was four or five months pregnant, said to the two brothers, "Leizi is here! Dashan isn't home today; his dad called him out early this morning."

Qin Bowen scratched his head: "Huh? Sister-in-law, how come I didn't know?"

"You know nothing, you're sleeping soundly. It's been raining heavily in the village for two days in a row, many field ridges have been washed away, and the corn in many cornfields has been blown down. So Dad took Dashan and called the militia to go and harvest the corn."

Zhao Lei expressed his understanding: "Alright, sister-in-law. Then I won't invite Brother Dashan today."

Sister-in-law Qin said with some regret, "Lei Zi, you've made a lot of money with Da Shan and Bo Wen these past few days. I support Da Shan working with you, but as the militia captain, he also has his own work to do. Please give him a few more days. Once he's done with his work, I'll have him come to you."

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you saying? We're family, we should help each other out."

"Lei Zi, did you call Da Shan and Bo Wen today to go hunting in Qingshui Gully again?"

Qin Bowen interjected first, "No, sister-in-law. Brother-in-law said that after so many hunting teams went to Qingshuigou, a lot of wild boars were killed, and some were scared and ran into the mountains. Now it's not so easy to hunt wild boars in Qingshuigou."

Sister-in-law Qin nodded repeatedly: "That's true... I also heard from the neighbors that they came back from Qingshui Ditch without much game. So what are you planning to do today?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm planning to find a place to fish today. After all, the water level has risen these past few days, and the fish in the river are much easier to catch than the prey in the mountains."

Sister-in-law Qin praised Zhao Lei repeatedly, saying, "Lei Zi, you're really quick-witted. My Da Shan Na would definitely be one-track-minded."

Zhao Lei exchanged a few more pleasantries with his sister-in-law, then left, saying he would come to see Brother Dashan later, before taking Qin Bowen and the other two out the door.

After leaving the house, Qin Bowen said with some regret, "Brother-in-law, since my brother led the militia to harvest the crops, I guess Zongbao was called away too. We don't need to go looking for him, right?"

Zhao Lei thought about it thoughtfully.

He himself was not good at fishing. Relatively speaking, among the four brothers, only Wang Zongbao had more experience in fishing.

Today he plans to go to the river section to check the situation; it really won't work without Wang Zongbao.

Qin Bowen's reminder was timely; it's likely that their trip to find Wang Zongbao would be in vain.

However, without a skilled fisherman, this situation is quite difficult...
