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

Chapter 138 Ding Dahu, Like a Mad Dog

Jiapigou (夹皮沟).

It's 8 PM, and not a single light is out.

Today is even happier for everyone than the Lunar New Year.

There are hundreds of households, and every family has meat to eat.

Even those who didn't go hunting in the mountains received five or six pounds of wolf meat.

This was distributed by Uncle Ba according to Lu Yao's instructions.

Those who went hunting in the mountains, whether militiamen or villagers, each received a wolf.

Everyone in Shanghewan got one and carried it home.

Those who didn't go up the mountain had to rely on the hunting teams to divide the spoils equally.

When the villagers heard that Lu Yao had been injured while fighting wolves, many of them made preparations to go to the city hospital to see him first thing the next morning.

Almost every household was filled with joy.

With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, not a single family had much money left over.

Everyone is worried about not being able to afford New Year's goods.

As a result, Lu Yao led his men to fight back so many wolves.

The villagers pedaled back until dark.

Uncle Ba is still on the street, with meat still undistributed. Many commune members took the meat home and then came out to watch the excitement again.

Everyone was still immersed in joy.

However, two of the families showed no sign of joy.

Xilian, the widow of Zhang Mazi.

Suddenly becoming a widow is hard to bear.

Even the meat was delivered by someone else.

Then there's Ding Dahu's house.

Ding Dahu spoiled his son Ding Youliang from a young age, hoping that he would grow up to bring honor to the family.

The journey ended prematurely, and they couldn't even enter their ancestral graves.

Ancestral graves are a symbol of the continuation of family bloodlines. A man who has never married and has no children is considered to have "cut off the family line," and his bloodline ends there.

Therefore, he had no "descendants" to worship him and bury him in the ancestral grave, which symbolically "destroyed" the integrity and continuity of the family bloodline.

Furthermore, the souls of unmarried men who die with resentment may disturb the peace of their ancestors if buried in the ancestral grave.

It could even have a negative impact on the family.

Therefore, it needs to be buried separately.

His grave is also called the Lonely Grave.

The body couldn't go home or enter the village, so they asked Master Huang to find a suitable place.

Everyone, please help dig a hole and bury Ding Youliang.

At this moment, Ding Dahu was at home, sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), drinking alone and wiping away tears.

Xie Chunfang also stood on the ground and cried.

Although Ding Youliang wasn't her biological child, they had been together for so long, and she always called him "stepmother." It was heartbreaking to see him suddenly gone.

He went up the mountain to find his sister early in the morning, full of energy, but he never came back.

It lies buried all alone on the earthen hillside.

It would be upsetting for anyone to hear that.

Yang Shouye and Zhang Zongshan have been here.

Yang Shouye tried to win him over for a meal and then left.

Ding's relatives also came and went in waves to comfort Ding Dahu.

Ding Dahu remained silent, just drinking in silence.

There were no dishes, just drinks.

Before long, he had drunk more than a pound of strong liquor.

At this moment, Tie Zhu brought a dead wolf to the Ding family:

"Uncle Tiger, Uncle Eight asked me to bring you one. Even though you didn't go hunting, it's still pitiful that someone died..."

This child is straightforward and doesn't know how to speak properly; he relayed what Uncle Ba was saying behind his back.

Enraged, Ding Dahu threw a wine glass at him.

"Fuck you, I don't need your pity. I don't need your charity, take it away!"

He jumped up and chased after the iron pillar, kicking it.

They chased him all the way to the gate.

Wang Laoba and his gang were carrying torches and lanterns, dividing up wolf meat right there on the street.

When they saw Ding Dahu chasing and hitting people, they all came over to break up the fight.

Tie Zhu retorted angrily, "Why did you hit me? You can't take your anger out on me just because your son died! So many people were unwilling to bring you meat, but I was the only one who did, and you still hit me!"

This is true.

Everyone knew that Ding Dahu was unhappy because Lu Yao had taken over Ding Dahu's hunting team.

Now that his son has died, he is filled with resentment, and no one wants to be near him.

Uncle Ba also refused to give him meat.

That's why they sent Tiezhu, an older boy, instead.

Unexpectedly, Tie Zhu, who was bad at speaking, angered everyone with just one sentence.

Now that Tie Zhu had said that, Ding Dahu was even angrier:

"You dare laugh at me for having a dead son?"

Ding Dahu snatched the meat-cutting knife from Uncle Ba's hand and was about to stab Tie Zhu.

Tie Zhu was so frightened that he quickly ran around the crowd.

Just then, two headlights illuminated the street.

A jeep drove up.

Everyone immediately stopped and stared at the car.

You rarely see a car in this small mountain village.

It's even rarer than seeing a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the countryside right now!

Whose car is this so late?

Those waiting to receive their share of the meat, and those who had already received their share and were now watching the spectacle, instinctively made way for each other.

Ding Dahu, holding the dagger, also took a step back and stared intently at the car.

The car stopped right in front of him.

As soon as the car door opened, Lu Yao got out of the driver's seat.

"My God, it's a country bumpkin!"

"Tuwazi is back in a car!"

"This is a Beijing Jeep!"

The last time Lu Yao came back riding Zuo Shouli's sidecar motorcycle, it shocked the commune members.

Now he's actually driven back in a Jeep.

For a moment, even people like Uncle Ba and Gou Shengzi, who had a good relationship with Lu Yao, dared not greet him easily.

They all stared blankly at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao didn't say much, opened the back door, and carried Ding Mei down.

Seeing that there were nearly a hundred people standing on the street, Ding Mei felt embarrassed to let Lu Yao carry her.

Come down quickly.

He called to Erni'er, who was standing nearby, to help him.

"Dad, where's my brother?"

As soon as Ding Mei opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face.

Ding Dahu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly roared:

"Don't mention your brother! If it weren't for your trouble, your brother wouldn't have died! I don't have a daughter like you! Get out!"

When Ding Mei saw that her father was blaming her for her brother's death, she was even more heartbroken.

Tears fell like pearls from a broken string, pattering down their faces.

Not wanting to explain, she had Erni'er help her walk into the courtyard.

I thought Ding Youliang's body was at home.

"Stop right there! From this day forward, you are not to set foot in the Ding family's residence again!"

Ding Dahu roared, startling Erni'er so much that she almost stepped into the ditch.

Stop right there.

Lu Yao sighed, "Uncle Da Hu, You Liang's death can't all be blamed on Xiao Meizi. Shouldn't you blame Wang Biao? Let's sue him together. He should be executed, and that will avenge You Liang!"

Ding Dahu looked at Lu Yao and became even angrier.

If it weren't for him, my son wouldn't have died.

I never imagined that my son, who hated Lu Yao so much, would end up taking a bullet for him.

"Hey Lu, don't think you can rule the world just because you killed the wolf. It's none of your business what the Ding family does!"

Ding Dahu is like a mad dog now.

He criticizes everyone he meets.

If they weren't somewhat wary of Lu Yao, they would have already made a move.

Lu Yao also saw that the old man on the mountain still had some conscience and did not take advantage of his vulnerability to harm him.

He also saw that his son had just died.

I didn't bother arguing with him.

Looking around at the people, it's unlikely that anyone could persuade Ding Dahu.

So he remained silent.

She thought that Ding Dahu would just scold Ding Mei a few times to vent his anger and that would be the end of it.

If you've lost your son, how can you really abandon your daughter?

However, they underestimated Ding Dahu's stubbornness.

Seeing that Ding Mei was about to walk into the courtyard, Ding Dahu ran over and blocked the doorway.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out? If you dare come in, I'll break your other leg too!"
