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

"Yes, Zhao Lei, you've been living a very successful life since you came back from outside. You've really learned a lot."

Everyone in the village knew that Zhao Lei used to be honest and simple, just a handsome young man from the countryside.

Compared to them, I don't have anything particularly outstanding.

But when he went into hiding for more than half a year and came back, he was completely transformed.

Not only did his hunting skills improve by leaps and bounds, but he also became more tactful and appropriate in his dealings with others.

Many villagers were still preparing to laugh at Zhao Lei during their leisure time.

I can't believe he's only been back for a short time.

In less than half a month, they were repairing a red brick house and buying a 28-inch motorcycle, which made them extremely envious.

Zhao Lei exchanged a few pleasantries with a few neighbors who were passing by, then, using the excuse that he needed to hurry home for dinner, he nonchalantly rode his old bicycle and disappeared at the end of the road.

Even after Zhao Lei disappeared into the darkness and could no longer be seen, the neighbors were still in shock and whispered among themselves.

"Look, what does it mean to be a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold? After Lei Zi stopped associating with Lai Mazi and his ilk, he really put his money-making skills to good use."

"Yes, judging from their appearance, they've practically become the wealthiest family in our brigade."

"Who says otherwise? No wonder he was able to marry Teacher Qin, Miss Jiang, and Dr. Su. I used to think they had bad taste in Zhao Lei, but I never expected him to be such a promising prospect."

Zhao Lei had no idea that his former carefree image had completely changed in everyone's eyes.

After all, their family had meat at every meal, was building a new house, and had even bought a 28-inch motorcycle.

Life is getting better and better, and we are rising steadily.

With his strength evident, great scholars will naturally defend him.

Some couples, seeing Zhao Lei's family prospering, would grab their husbands' ears in exasperation and yell, "Zhou Erwa! Look at Zhao Lei, he supports three wives and three children, and he can still build a new house and buy bicycles..."

And you? You can't even support a wife and two kids. I must have been blind to marry you!

Some young married women were filled with regret, sighing, "Oh dear! I quite liked Zhao Lei after he divorced Qin Yuchan. It's just that my parents said his second marriage was unlucky, and as a result, I missed out on such a good man."

Some young married women didn't even try to hide it, with their husbands right beside them, constantly criticizing their husbands and praising Zhao Lei.

These men were all henpecked; even when their wives scolded them mercilessly, they didn't dare say anything, after all, Zhao Lei was indeed capable.

Many of the young and middle-aged men among them had also tried hunting in the mountains, a trend that Zhao Lei had started.

But no one can have such a bumper harvest in the mountains as Zhao Lei.

Forget about making money, I often wander around in the mountains all day without finding a single hair, wasting my whole day's time trying to earn work points.

As a result, many men gave up the idea of ​​hunting.

Seeing Zhao Lei become rich through hunting, I feel envious, but I also have to admire his ability.

the other side.

Zhao Lei returned home.

His three ex-wives and children are waiting for him to come home for dinner.

When they saw Zhao Lei riding back on a 28-inch bicycle, they all stared wide-eyed.

This thing is extremely rare in rural areas; the number of people who know of owning a bicycle can be counted on one hand.

Moreover, these people are all industry leaders or top experts in their respective regions.

Take Zhao Chenglong from Qingshuigou, for example; he was an official in Qingfeng Town.

In addition, the principal of the Tuanjie Township Primary School where Qin Yuchan works also has an old 28-inch motorcycle.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Lei went out today and came back on a 28-inch bicycle.

His three ex-wives and children all gathered around, fascinated by the 28-inch steel rod, touching and examining it from all angles.

After her initial joy, Qin Yuchan's face suddenly darkened.

"Sanshi, why are you wasting money again? Don't you know our family's financial situation?"

Zhao Lei retorted, "How can you say it's wasting money?"

"You say you haven't wasted money? Our principal spent over 100 yuan on a 28-inch motorcycle back then. Yours isn't cheap either, is it?"

Zhao Lei nodded: "Okay, 160 yuan, I'll take it in full!"

"Oh, you think I'm praising you? You're getting all smug? 160 yuan, have you gotten cocky just because you've made a little money lately?"

Jiang Xinyue frowned upon hearing the price of 160 yuan: "Brother Sanshi, why are you spending this much money? 160 yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary for Sister Yuchan."

Su Wanqing, leading the children, came over and said, "Brother Sanshi, I don't think this bicycle was bought at the right time. We can walk to anywhere, there's no need to spend so much money on a cheap old-fashioned bike, is there?"

Seeing that his three ex-wives were all worried about the money, Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Okay, I know you're worried about the money."

But if everyone's worried about the money, then who's going to care about you?

Zhao Lei's words surprised his three ex-wives.

He continued, "I bought this bicycle especially for Yu Chan."

Qin Yuchan's heart tightened upon hearing this.

Although she was criticizing Zhao Lei, she secretly adored the bicycle.

After all, their principal owns a bicycle. She doesn't usually act like it's anything special, but she's still a little envious of it.

She was pleasantly surprised when she heard Zhao Lei say that the new bicycle was actually bought as a gift for her.

But she still looked distressed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I don't want it! Sanshi, you should take it back and return it tomorrow. It's 160 yuan! Don't we still need to repair the house? Where are we going to get so much money to squander?"

Zhao Lei didn't care about any of that. He grabbed Qin Yuchan's shoulders tightly with his big hands and pushed her to the side of the bicycle.

"Yu Chan, you rushed back to cook lunch today, and then rushed back to work. I saw it all, and it pained me to see it."

"You don't need to worry about repairing the house. I've already secured a regular supply deal with Director Li of Jinxiu Textile Factory."

All three ex-wives looked at Zhao Lei.

"What? Director Li from Jinxiu Textile Factory? How do you know Director Li?"

All three ex-wives found it unbelievable.

Because Jinxiu Textile Factory was the only light industrial factory in their Qingfeng Town.

Countless people in the town and surrounding areas were eager to work there and become enviable workers.

However, these rural families living in the countryside basically didn't have any connections to get in touch with Director Li.

Therefore, they were all very curious about how Zhao Lei met Director Li.

Su Wanqing thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Brother Sanshi, why do I remember that the factory manager of Jinxiu Textile Factory is surnamed Xu, not Li?"
