Faced with Old Man Wan's rebuke, Wan Dayong was not ashamed, but rather proud, excitedly saying, "Hey, Dad, you're just too thin-skinned to admit it. Look, if I weren't thick-skinned and willing to admit it, our family would have lost so much money!"

Wan Dayong's words made the wrinkles on Old Man Wan's old face twitch.

I'm too shy to admit it.

No one knows a son better than his father. Although he knew that his youngest son was a rogue, Old Man Wan never expected him to be such a scoundrel.

Although Old Man Wan knew that the hunters from Li Yunshan's village were able to kill the tiger because they used his sheep as bait to lure the tiger into a trap.

But he also knew that once he had taken Li Yunshan's money, the sheep was no longer his concern.

Li Yunshan's ability to use that sheep as bait to lure the tiger and kill it is his skill, and has nothing to do with him anymore.

So, although Old Man Wan was envious of Li Yunshan and his group's earnings, he never considered shamelessly asking Li Yunshan for money.

But when his youngest son returned home after a few days of fooling around, he somehow heard the whole story and started clamoring to get a share of the money from Li Yunshan, spouting a bunch of fallacies.

Old Man Wan didn't want to get involved in this mess, but Wan Dayong insisted on dragging him along.

At this moment, several villagers nearby, after hearing the commotion, curiously looked towards Li Yunshan's house. When they saw that it was Old Man Wan and Wan Dayong, they were all somewhat puzzled.

Old Man Wan was a good man, but Wan Dayong…

Although Li Yunshan hadn't been doing any proper work before, at least he was just messing around outside and hadn't done anything like stealing or cheating. At most, he had been divorced a lot and had abused Lin Xiulan and Dou Dou in the past.

But they've learned their lesson well now.

But Wan Dayong, thinking that his elder brother was a military officer and his second brother was the deputy director of the grain station, did whatever he wanted. He was always stealing chickens and dogs, or indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring. Whenever something went wrong, it was always Wan Laohan who had to beg and plead to clean up his messes and take care of the aftermath.

To be honest, everyone felt sorry for Old Man Wan because he had such a youngest son, Wan Dayong.

I just don't know why Old Man Wan and Wan Dayong came to find Li Yunshan.

Some people were puzzled, but some quick-thinking individuals had already guessed some of it.

"Could it be because Li Yunshan bought Old Man Wan's sheep, and after they killed the tiger and made money, Old Man Wan and Wan Dayong wanted to get a share of the profits?"

"It looks like it to me. Didn't you hear it in the house just now? I heard it more clearly. Wan Dayong said that Li Yunshan and his gang were able to catch tigers and make money because of the sheep his father raised as bait. As for the rest, I didn't hear it very clearly because my two children were crying at home at the time."

"It shouldn't be Uncle Wan's idea. Uncle Wan has always been honest and upright, he's not that kind of person. I think it's most likely Wan Dayong's idea. That bastard must know that Li Yunshan and his gang made a lot of money fighting tigers, so he came to cause trouble."

"Being able to hunt tigers and make money is their skill. To be honest, although I envy them for making big money, I don't have that kind of shamelessness. They earn their money through hard work and risking their lives. In this cold weather, they stood in the threshing ground for three nights and then risked their lives to patrol the village early in the morning. They deserve to earn that money."

"Yes, if they hadn't killed the tiger, we might still be stuck at home right now, too afraid to go out."

"Wan Dayong is a dishonest person."

"What kind of kindness does a scoundrel have? You're lucky he didn't try to take advantage of you."

A dozen or so villagers gathered not far away, glancing towards Li Yunshan's house while whispering amongst themselves.

They spoke softly, but Old Man Wan heard them clearly, and his wrinkled old face turned pale and then red.

For decades, he had always been an honest and upright person, never doing anything immoral or immoral, and had a good reputation in the village. But this youngest son had made him lose face in front of the villagers.

"Dayong, come back with me."

Old Man Wan was filled with shame and hurriedly tried to pull Wan Dayong back, hoping to save face in front of the villagers.

"Hey, Dad, why are you pulling me?"

Wan Dayong shook off Old Man Wan's hand and said impatiently.

"Ouch."

However, when Wan Dayong flung his hand away, the old man, being old and unsteady on his feet, fell down and sat on the ground.

Wan Dayong glanced down and didn't even offer to help the old man.

"Damn it, Wan Dayong is a real beast. If my son dared to treat me like that, I'd break his legs."

"Uncle Wan has three sons. The eldest and second eldest are both successful, but this youngest son has not learned anything good."

The villagers couldn't help but gossip. A kind-hearted villager saw that Old Man Wan had fallen to the ground and was having difficulty getting up, so he quickly ran over and helped Old Man Wan up.

……

Li Yunshan's home.

When Li Yunshan returned, Lin Xiulan and Gao Hongmei gathered around him. They had both heard Wan Dayong's shameless words.

They were furious inside the house.

What do you mean by saying that the sheep also deserved credit for killing the tiger, and that his father should also get a share of the money from selling the tiger? That's utterly shameless.

If that's the case, then the person who sold the lamb to Old Man Wan should also come to Li Yunshan for a share of the money, right?

What do you mean if you have any conscience at all? You should give away half of the money too.

Are there really such shameless people? Are there really such thick-skinned people?

With just a few words of affection, he wanted to take away the money that Li Yunshan had worked so hard to earn over four winter nights, enduring the cold and risking his life.

Lin Xiulan was so angry that her lips trembled, and Gao Hongmei angrily grabbed the hunting rifle that Li Yunshan was hanging on the wall, ready to rush out.

Just then, Li Yunshan walked into the house and saw Gao Hongmei angrily carrying a hunting rifle and heading out. He quickly grabbed her.

"What are you doing with that shotgun? Trying to shoot him?"

After pulling Gao Hongmei back, Li Yunshan snatched the hunting rifle from her hand and said in a deep voice.

"That bastard Wan Dayong is too shameless. You paid money to buy the sheep his father raised, it wasn't free. How dare he come to our door and ask for half of the money? I'm furious if I don't teach him a lesson for you."

Gao Hongmei said angrily.

"This has nothing to do with Uncle Wan. It's all Wan Dayong's fault for being greedy and causing trouble." After saying that, Li Yunshan glanced at the angry Gao Hongmei: "Besides, you don't need to teach Wan Dayong a lesson."

With that, Li Yunshan picked up his hunting rifle and strode out.

"Hey, Li Yunshan, don't do anything reckless."

Seeing Li Yunshan carrying a hunting rifle and heading out, Gao Hongmei quickly called out.

I know what I'm doing.

As Li Yunshan spoke, he stepped out of the main room and walked straight toward Wan Dayong.

At this moment, Wan Dayong was still calmly fantasizing about how to spend the money he got from Li Yunshan. Should he first go to his cronies to gamble, or go to a brothel for some fun? Just as he was having this internal struggle, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise.

It turned out that the villagers who had been watching from a distance were frightened when they saw Li Yunshan come out of his house with a hunting rifle.

"Dayong, you little rascal, get out of here!"

Old Man Wan had just been helped up when he saw Li Yunshan come out with a hunting rifle, and he immediately became anxious.

Although he was disheartened by Wan Dayong, his youngest son, he was still his own flesh and blood. Old Man Wan was afraid that if his youngest son asked for half of the money, it would anger Li Yunshan. What if Li Yunshan got angry and shot his youngest son?

Although Old Man Wan knew the chances were slim, what if it happened?

What if Li Yunshan really loses his temper? Would he have to outlive his son?

"Old man, what's the big deal? The money's almost here..."

Wan Dayong hadn't yet noticed that Li Yunshan had already come out with a hunting rifle. He was just thinking about how to spend the money after he got it when he heard Old Man Wan scolding him for being a good-for-nothing and telling him to leave quickly. He immediately cursed impatiently in his heart.

With a "bang..."

However, before Wan Dayong could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap.

The sound was like a thunderclap, which not only startled Wan Dayong, but also made his eardrums buzz.

The villagers watching from a distance couldn't help but gasp in shock. After hearing the gunshot, Old Man Wan even closed his eyes in despair.

Oh no, I hope Li Yunshan didn't just shoot his youngest son dead.

Even Gao Hongmei and Lin Xiulan ran out of the house after hearing the gunshots.

Only then did Wan Dayong manage to turn his head with difficulty.

However, when he turned his head halfway and saw the two dark gun barrels, Wan Dayong's heart skipped a beat, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

He slowly turned his head mechanically, forcing an awkward smile, his voice trembling as he spoke: "Yun...Yunshan...what is it...let's...let's talk it out, let's...talk it out. Put this hunting rifle down first...okay? Don't let it go off accidentally."

"I'm easily frightened... I can't... I can't take being scared like this..."

"Hmph, you're a coward, yet you dare to come here and cause trouble? I think you're tired of living."

Li Yunshan snorted coldly, staring intently at Wan Dayong: "Wan Dayong, we killed that tiger with our own skills, and we earned the money with our own skills. If you have the guts and want to make money, go into the mountains and make it yourself. Don't try to argue with me here."

"Do you think my money grows on trees? You think you can just give me half and I'll have it all?"

Being stared at so intently by Li Yunshan was like facing a ferocious tiger, and Wan Dayong felt a chill run down his spine.
