Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 445 You're Not Allowed to Sleep with Him

Not only was Tiger Girl scared, but Ding Mei was also startled.

Hearing the person's urgent tone, she could already picture it in her mind.

Is it Dad charging over with a five-shot burst?

I quickly sat up and put the sweater down again.

Then I heard Xie Chunfang's voice outside the door:

"Little Mei, come and see your dad."

Ding Mei was even more frightened now:

What happened to my dad?

"He...he hit me!"

"Oh……"

Ding Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought Dad was sick. Isn't beating you a daily occurrence?

Xie Chunfang added, "Your dad's drunk and acting crazy, he won't let me in the house. Xiao Meizi, come over and talk to him. Otherwise, I'll sleep in your room tonight, and he'll calm down by tomorrow morning."

Ding Mei glanced at Lu Yao and couldn't help but sigh.

He said in a low voice, "I'll go check on it. You should go back first. It would be bad if my stepmother came to stay."

Lu Yao also sighed.

Sleeping with anyone else isn't this difficult or troublesome.

Is it some kind of divine intervention that Zheng Shuang is preventing me from being with her mother?

There was no other way but to get up and get dressed.

Ding Mei also put it on.

Follow Xie Chunfang over:

Hearing them go inside, Lu Yao came out, jumped over the wall, and went home.

As soon as Ding Mei entered the room, she saw Ding Dahu sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) smoking.

"Dad, why did you hit my stepmother again?"

Ding Dahu glared at her but didn't say anything.

Xie Chunfang laughed: "He didn't hit me. Your dad used a trick, it's called... what's his name again, 'Head of the House'?"

Ding Dahu said impatiently, "Making something out of nothing will only alert the enemy!"

Ding Mei was a little confused: "What snake? Where did this snake come from?"

Xie Chunfang remained smugly smiling, believing her acting skills were excellent and she had successfully fooled Ding Mei.

"Little Meizi, was Lu Yao in your room just now?"

This immediately made Ding Mei blush.

No need to say more, I understand. This couple is putting on an act to trick me into coming here, just so they won't let Lu Yao stay in their room.

"Startling the snake by beating the grass" refers to startling Lu Yao.

He turned around and left angrily.

Ding Dahu roared, "Stop right there!"

"What's wrong, Dad? We're dating, isn't it normal for him to come to my room for a while?"

Ding Dahu retorted angrily, "But I won't allow you two to be together before you're married. It's a disgrace to the Ding family! I'm doing this for your own good; you don't want to be gossiped about by your mother-in-law after you marry into the family, do you?"

Ding Mei retorted angrily, "If we don't tell, how will anyone know!"

"I know it's no use! Don't go back to the west room tonight, sleep in Youliang's room, from now on Youliang's room will be your room."

"No, I'll sleep in the west room."

Ding Mei lifted her leg and walked away.

His stubborn streak kicked in again.

I never imagined that Dad and Stepmother would find out that Tuwa was in my room. How embarrassing!

When Ding Dahu saw that Ding Mei wouldn't listen to him, he immediately became furious.

He shouted, "Chunfang, give me the fifth unit! I'm going to find that brat Tuwa! I want to ask Jiang Guizhi how she raised her child!"

In reality, Ding Dahu was just bluffing.

If he were willing to turn against Lu Yao, he would have gone over and called him out.

He went to all this trouble just to save face for Lu Yao.

But Ding Mei didn't know what he was thinking; she knew her father could be terrifying when he got angry.

Quickly stop them:

"No, you can't go!"

"Then you can come and stay in Youliang's room. We won't be heating the kang (heated brick bed) in the west room anymore!"

Xie Chunfang also pulled Ding Mei aside to persuade her:

"Little Mei, have you forgotten what your stepmother told you? You have to keep men on your toes a bit. If you give in to their whims too easily, they'll treat you like dirt! Sooner or later, all that stuff that kid has will be yours, so why are you in such a hurry!"

Ding Mei was furious:

"I was just chatting with that country bumpkin, why are you all making such a fuss!"

Xie Chunfang pouted: "Oh, oh, oh, you want to chat? You want to chat, but he probably wants to lift your clothes! I know men best. During the day, they might pretend to be serious about national affairs, but at night when you're lying together, they're all thinking about your body."

Ding Dahu kicked her aside:

"Get the hell out of here! If you can't speak properly, then shut up and stay out of the way!"

Then looking at Ding Mei:

"Can you promise Dad you'll come sleep here from now on? Dad's doing this for your own good!"

When Ding Mei saw this situation, she felt that if she insisted on going back to the west room to sleep, it would seem like she was being incredibly lowly.

The elderly couple thought they really wanted to be with a man.

"Alright, I'll go get my blanket and Tiger Girl."

"I'll go help you."

Xie Chunfang quickly followed.

Even when they reached the door, they asked through the door:

"Hey, you little rascal, are you gone yet?"

There was no sound from inside.

She turned around and smiled at Ding Mei, who was following behind her.

"They're gone. Your father's plan worked!"

Ding Mei was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Since things have come to this, I can only go to sleep.

I'll explain it to Tuwazi tomorrow.

Ding Youliang's room doesn't even have a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

Ding Dahu quickly relit the fire, afraid that his daughter would get cold.

It was almost 11 o'clock before Ding Mei finally lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Ding Dahu and Xie Chunfang also turned off the lights and went to bed in the east room.

Because Ding Dahu's plan succeeded today and Xie Chunfang performed excellently, preventing Lu Yao from succeeding, the couple were quite happy and excited.

As a result, Ding Mei could hear the two of them playing quite recklessly in the room.

Although I don't know the specific details, I do know what the couple is doing.

Ding Mei was so angry that she pinched Hu Niu:

"Hmph, magistrates are allowed to set fires, but commoners are forbidden even to light lamps!"

……

Lu Yao went home.

Lu Xiaoqian was sleeping sideways.

Mom heated the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) too much.

Xiaoqian couldn't even be covered by the blanket.

Now we don't even need to chop firewood ourselves; the villagers all bring us some, one family brings us some, another family brings us some.

The firewood pile in the yard was as big as a small mountain.

Even when Lu Ming went out to chop firewood, he would bring some to deliver to this courtyard.

If this had happened in his previous life, Lu Yao would have been incredibly grateful.

Now, when he sees Lu Yao delivering firewood, Lu Yao just laughs it off.

Lu Yao knew their intentions perfectly well; they were all trying to curry favor.

Knowing that they have a wide network of connections and can network with superiors, they think they are capable, which is why they act this way.

There were very few people who actually offered a helping hand when their family was at its poorest and most miserable in their previous life.

Lu Yao remembers all these people and will not mistreat them in this life.

With more firewood available, Jiang Guizhi naturally became more generous with the amount of firewood she used to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed).

The hot Lu Xiaoqian has taken up all of Lu Yao's spots.

Lu Yao got on the kang (a heated brick bed) and kicked her over to his mother's side, finally securing a place for himself.

Lu Yao lay down to sleep.

I have trouble sleeping.

Recalling the tender moments spent with Ding Mei.

I'm thinking about getting married.

If they get married, Ding Mei will be his wife, and he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

This is like something a thief would do!

We'll wait until tomorrow and have Mom go to his house to present the betrothal gifts.

By the way, what should we give Ding Mei? How about we make her a bracelet out of a small yellow croaker?

Then let's wait a bit longer, finish making the bracelet, and then go to her house to propose marriage.

However, if things continue like this and Ding Dahu's family won't let me touch Ding Mei, then I might as well find someone else to relax with.

Little Meizi, it's not that I don't love you, I'm just finding someone else to replace you, okay? If you do, just have a clap of thunder outside right now...

Lu Yao listened intently for a long time.

There was no thunder, which proves that Ding Mei has no objection!

I fell asleep lost in thought, and dreamt of thunder rumbling and torrential rain pouring down.

The next morning, Jiang Guizhi and Lu Xiaoqian got up early, while Lu Yao was still lazing around.

Then they heard someone shout from the courtyard outside: "Brother Lu, hahaha... I'm back!"
