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

Thinking back on the past, Li Yunshan felt that he had really lost his mind back then. He had given up such good wives as Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua and instead went to fool around with Yu Ergou and his gang.

It's just that when Yu Ergou and his gang did bad things in his previous life, they didn't drag him down with them. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have escaped the crackdown a few years later. He wouldn't have been shot, but he would have been sentenced to several years in prison.

Thinking about the debt he owed to Su Lihua in his previous life, Li Yunshan felt quite guilty.

However, Su Lihua's attitude towards him has always been cold, and she doesn't meet with him as often as Gao Hongmei, so Li Yunshan has never been able to find an opportunity to make amends to Su Lihua.

Just like now, even if Li Yunshan wanted to chat with Su Lihua for a bit, all he got was a brief response from her.

Gao Hongmei watched Li Yunshan and Su Lihua's conversation and felt awkward for them.

But Gao Hongmei also knew what was going on. Li Yunshan wanted to talk to Su Lihua to ease the tension, but Su Lihua still had some reservations.

She was a straightforward and easygoing person, and seeing this, she couldn't help but gently pat Su Lihua's arm: "Hey, Lihua, I'm telling you, stop ignoring Li Yunshan because of what happened in the past. You'll be going back to the city soon, give Li Yunshan a chance and let him apologize to you."

"Hey, I'm not like that."

Su Lihua felt embarrassed that Gao Hongmei had so openly revealed her inner conflict in front of Li Yunshan.

But Li Yunshan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

What?

Su Lihua will be returning to the city soon.

In his previous life, because he idled away his days and hung out with Yu Ergou and his gang, Li Yunshan didn't really know exactly when Su Lihua returned to the city.

He only remembered roughly, it seemed to be the end of 81 or the beginning of 82.

Anyway, by the time he learned that Su Lihua had returned to the city, Su Lihua had already been gone from Guapigou Village for many days.

After returning to the city, Su Lihua never went back to Guapigou Village.

Because most of the places where educated youth were sent to the countryside were in remote and impoverished areas, and they suffered a lot in the countryside, who would want to go back to the place where they were sent to the countryside after returning to the city and living a good life?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people like to reminisce about past hardships and appreciate present happiness.

However, considering that Gao Hongmei and Lin Xiulan were able to contact Su Lihua by phone after he went bankrupt and became terminally ill, it can be seen that the three of them were still connected.

When Su Lihua received the call, she quickly rushed to the hospital in the provincial capital and took turns caring for him with Gao Hongmei and Lin Xiulan.

"Lihua, when are you leaving?"

Thinking of this, Li Yunshan asked.

Su Lihua glanced at Li Yunshan. At first, she didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it, she realized that they had been husband and wife for a while. Anyway, her parents had already returned to the provincial capital from the labor farm in the south and were waiting for their superiors to arrange new jobs for them.

Once her parents had settled into new jobs and wrote to her, she returned to the provincial capital.

Since we didn't have much time in Guapigou Village anyway, and Li Yunshan had already asked, it wouldn't be right not to respond.

So, after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll leave whenever my parents let me know and the higher-ups arrange job positions for them."

Li Yunshan glanced at her. In his memory, this was only the second time he had heard Su Lihua speak such a long passage to him since his rebirth.

The first time Su Lihua spoke such a long passage to him after his rebirth was on the day of his rebirth, when Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua came together and stormed into his house to protect Lin Xiulan.

After his rebirth, he and Su Lihua didn't have many opportunities to meet, and they rarely spoke.

"Then...I'll take you there..."

Li Yunshan thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then began to speak.

Su Lihua was visibly taken aback. She turned her face to the side, sniffed her slightly sore nose, and then nodded.

……

After dropping Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua off at home, Li Yunshan went back.

However, inevitably, the news that Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua had been robbed by highway robbers spread quickly after the village militia returned to the village.

When people in the village learned that Gao Hongmei had actually taken out a hunting rifle and shot down two ruthless highway robbers with two shots, many were shocked.

"How can Gao Hongmei be so bold as to actually fire at highway robbers? Doesn't she fear getting shot in the foot?"

"She's not very brave. Would she go hunting in the deep mountains with Li Yunshan? I went to Zhan Kui's house yesterday and heard him say that the day Hongmei hunted the deer, she and Li Yunshan also saw a tiger in the deep mountains. Most people would be scared if they encountered a tiger, but Hongmei and Li Yunshan weren't scared at all."

"There are also paper tigers among highway robbers. They may look vicious, but if they encounter a tough guy or a simpleton, they will show their true colors."

"So, would you say Gao Hongmei is a ruthless person or a simpleton?"

"This... she seems more like a tiger woman to me."

"Ha ha……"

Because it hadn't snowed, the villagers who had been staying home all came out for a walk. After hearing the news that Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua had encountered highway robbers, many people couldn't help but gather together and start discussing it.

Soon, a burst of laughter rang out.

However, despite the laughter, everyone still admires Gao Hongmei.

Because she, a woman, did many things that even grown men wouldn't dare to do or couldn't do.

Hunting in the mountains and catching wild boars and deer was something that the old hunters in the village dreamed of, but none of them could do.

When encountering highway robbers, ordinary people would think of losing their money to save their lives, or running away as fast as they can.

But Gao Hongmei dared to shoot directly at the robbers.

I heard that although the blows didn't hit any vital organs, they still managed to subdue two of the robbers, and the rest escaped.

However, when everyone learned that one of the robbers subdued by Gao Hongmei was actually Li Jianren, the son of the old village chief of their own village, many people showed an expression of disbelief or surprise.

After all, the old village chief had served as the village chief of Guapigou Village for more than ten years, and had always served the villagers diligently and conscientiously.

If there are any conflicts in a family, or any arguments between families, the village chief will step in to mediate. This applies to Sister Hua's family conflicts and neighborhood disputes.

Twenty years ago, during the great famine, it was the village chief who secretly opened the village's granary without the commune's knowledge, allowing the villagers to have a full meal and avoid starving to death in that extremely difficult era.

But who would have thought that the old village chief, who was honest and upright throughout his life and so highly respected in the village, would have his son commit highway robbery after his death?

Guapigou Village produced Yu Ergou a while ago, and now they've produced Li Jianren... This is...

"Sigh, although Jianren seems unreliable and idle most of the time, he has never committed any fraud or deception. Who would have thought he would do something like this?"

"The old village chief's lifelong reputation was ruined by his good but unreliable eldest son."

"I wonder what the sentence will be? A few years in prison, or death by firing squad?"

"It's hard to say. Robbing people on the street is a serious crime."

"He's unlikely to get shot, but he'll definitely be sentenced. If he gets a sentence of ten or twenty years, he'll be in his forties when he gets out, practically half-buried in the ground, and he'll be ruined."

……

"You're really brave, girl. You encountered bandits who tried to rob you on the road, and instead of running away, you even fired at them."

"It's just that the remaining robbers were scared out of their wits. If they had been even a little braver, and had pounced on you after you fired those two shots, you wouldn't have fared well."

At Gao Hongmei's house, Gao Zhankui was terrified when he learned that Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua had encountered highway robbers on their way back to the village from the commune. He then gave Gao Hongmei a good scolding.

As Gao Zhankui scolded her irritably, Gao Hongmei couldn't help but stick out her tongue secretly.

"Dad, I'm fine, so don't get angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

"You've been too wild lately, especially since you've been going hunting in the mountains with Li Yunshan. You think you've become so capable, and you even bought a gun. I'll keep the gun safe for you. For the time being, you'll stay at home and take care of this old man. You should also reflect on yourself and stop thinking about going hunting in the mountains with Li Yunshan all day to make money."

"With your carelessness, I'm really afraid that something might happen to you one day, and I, an old man, will have to bury my young one."

"Dad, I know I was wrong, okay? I'll stay home quietly for the next few days and reflect on my actions. Please don't say such unlucky things."

Gao Hongmei held Gao Zhankui's hand and said with a wronged expression.

"Bring me the hunting rifle you bought; I'll keep it for you for a while."

But Gao Zhankui showed no mercy and instead reached out his hand to Gao Hongmei.

Seeing that Gao Zhankui was truly angry, Gao Hongmei knew he was serious, so she reluctantly left Gao Zhankui's room and returned to her own boudoir to take down the hunting rifle hanging on the wall.

"Give it to me."

As soon as Gao Hongmei entered Gao Zhankui's house with her hunting rifle, Gao Zhankui stretched out his hand towards her, palm up.

"Dad, can't we talk about this? I promise I really won't go hunting in the mountains for a while."

Gao Hongmei was reluctant to hand the hunting rifle in her hand to her father. She had worked hard to earn money by hunting in the mountains to buy it, and she hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.

Because she encountered highway robbers on the way, her father wanted to confiscate her precious hunting rifle, which Gao Hongmei was somewhat unwilling to do.

"Give it to me."

But Gao Zhankui's tone left no room for doubt.

Gao Hongmei hugged the Tiger Head brand hunting rifle she had bought, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with it.

Seeing her father's serious expression, she still handed the hunting rifle to Gao Zhankui.
