Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"Yay, yay! Daddy is so good to me. Daddy is the best daddy in the world."

DouDou clapped her hands happily.

"You're really a 'whoever feeds me is my mother' type. You've only eaten your father's cooking once, and you've already forgotten about your mother? Was your mother's cooking not good?"

Seeing how easily Li Yunshan had made Dou Dou so happy, Lin Xiulan couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Mom, I didn't say your cooking was bad. It's just as delicious as yours. I was just trying to make Dad happy so he would cook us delicious meals every day from now on. Mom, please don't be angry."

Seeing that Lin Xiulan seemed angry, Dou Dou quickly snuggled into her arms.

"Hahaha!"

Gao Hongmei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even Su Lihua, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Li Yunshan looked helpless. He never expected his daughter to have such a quirky side. What did he do in his past life to divorce Lin Xiulan and even consider giving DouDou away? In the end, he caused his family to break apart.

I'm such a jerk.

Lin Xiulan also showed a rare smile.

It's unrealistic to expect Li Yunshan to cook delicious meals for the mother and daughter every day.

In this era where everyone has to toil in the fields for food, it's already difficult enough to have enough to eat, let alone want to cook soup and stew every day.

Moreover, Lin Xiulan also believed in her heart that Li Yunshan was able to shoot that big wild boar purely by luck. Otherwise, why would those experienced hunters in the village fail to shoot the big wild boar after several attempts, while Li Yunshan, a greenhorn who knew nothing about hunting, was able to shoot the big wild boar as soon as he entered the mountains?

Besides, Li Yunshan is used to being idle. He can act like a decent person for a day or two, but will he be able to act like a decent person in the long run?

Lin Xiulan felt that nothing was certain.

"Eat your food, or it will get cold."

Seeing that everyone was quite happy, Li Yunshan smiled and pinched Dou Dou's greasy little face: "In the future, Daddy will try to hunt more, and I guarantee you'll be able to eat meat every day."

Speaking of this, Li Yunshan thought about how, after his rebirth, he gained the ability to use thermal imaging and night vision. His strength and endurance were also greater than before. Coupled with his hunting experience from his previous life, it was like having a cheat code. Hunting in the mountains and gathering mountain delicacies was much easier for him than for ordinary people.

Besides these, do I have any other abilities?

Li Yunshan planned to study it carefully.

However, despite his outstanding abilities, he had too few bullets.

Before his father passed away, he passed on the Mosin-Nagant rifle to him, but it only had fifteen bullets.

I used one bullet while hunting wild boar last night, and now I only have fourteen bullets left.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Xiulan and said, "Xiulan, take out the money from selling wild boar meat today and count it to see how much it is."

"Why are you counting money?"

Lin Xiulan frowned and looked at Li Yunshan warily.

"Didn't you say you wanted to turn over a new leaf, start anew, and live a good life with Xiulan? What, you have a couple of coins in your pocket, and you're thinking of going out drinking, gambling, and whoring again?"

Su Lihua said with a cold sarcasm.

"Sure enough, a dog can change its nature, but a person can't change their nature," Gao Hongmei shook her head.

"What do you need money for now?"

Hearing Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua's cold words, Lin Xiulan's tone became more forceful, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Originally, it was thought that after the incident with Yu Ergou, Li Yunshan had finally distanced himself from the street thugs, but unexpectedly, he was still incorrigible. As soon as he had a little money in his pocket, he thought of idling away.

Why am I suffering so much?

Lin Xiulan couldn't help but feel sorrowful.

Seeing tears welling up in Lin Xiulan's eyes, Li Yunshan quickly said, "No, I didn't mean to go drinking, gambling, or whoring..."

"Then what do you want to do?" Su Lihua stared at him coldly.

"If you want money, what else can you do besides eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring?" Gao Hongmei said.

"The gun Dad left me is good, but there are too few bullets. It's not easy to get a gun with the right caliber these days. I just want to know how much money I made selling wild boar meat today. If I have enough, I want to buy another hunting rifle. If I don't have enough, I'll go hunting in the mountains more often and save up as soon as possible. That way, even if the bullets in the gun Dad left me run out, I won't have to go hunting in the mountains with a wild boar spear."

Li Yunshan explained.

"You still want to go hunting in the mountains again? You got lucky and caught a wild boar, and you think you're some kind of genius? You think you're so great that you can do whatever you want to the heavens?" Su Lihua still had the same dislike for Li Yunshan, and her words were full of barbs, as if she couldn't vent her anger unless she said something to him.

Li Yunshan was completely numb. Why was Lihua acting like she was on drugs, finding fault with everything he did?

So he pretended not to hear what Su Lihua said and instead said to Lin Xiulan, "Xiulan, take out the money and count it so I know the exact amount."

With few bullets in his pocket, Li Yunshan was also afraid of encountering dangers when he went into the mountains, such as running into a pack of wolves.

Wolves are animals that like to travel in packs. Small wolf packs usually have three to five wolves, while large wolf packs can have more than twenty wolves. If you are unlucky enough to encounter a large wolf pack, fourteen bullets are simply not enough.

Bullets are like Han Xin's troop deployment—the more the merrier.

"Well... okay."

Lin Xiulan hesitated for a while, but in the end she chose to believe Li Yunshan.

Because she discovered that when Li Yunshan used to ask her for money, he would never say what he wanted it for. If she hesitated even for a moment, he would verbally abuse her or even physically assault her. But now, when Li Yunshan asked her for money, he spoke softly and gently.

Even... even the tone of his voice carried a hint of negotiation.

Moreover, although she didn't know how to hunt, she knew that hunting in the vast forest was quite risky.

Two years ago, a hunter from the village went into the mountains to hunt and encountered a bear. Because he had no gun and only a bow and arrows, he became the bear's meal. When the village organized people to go into the mountains to look for him, all they found were the hunter's remains.

Before long, Lin Xiulan took out all the money she had earned from selling wild boar meat that day from her inner pocket.

There were small bills, one, two, and five cents; there were also one, two, and five cents in paper money or coins; and there were also one and two yuan bills, but in relatively small quantities. However, Li Yunshan had a sharp eye and actually found a large unity bill.

The mess of money scattered on the table looked quite impressive.

Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua were both surprised. There was so much money on the table, at least seventy or eighty yuan, which was equivalent to a year's worth of work points they had worked hard to earn.

And this money was actually earned by Li Yunshan, who was always idle, while hunting!

Thinking about it, they all felt as if they were dreaming.

"Help us count and see how much money this wild boar earned."

Li Yunshan said.

Actually, he was also eager to know how much money he could make from hunting such a wild boar.
