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

"Damn it, I never expected... I never expected that bastard Li Yunshan would be so ruthless!"

Yu Ergou was carried by two street thugs under his armpits and ran several hundred meters in one breath in the dark before they stopped.

As soon as he stopped, he couldn't help but squat down, clutching his stomach, which felt as if it had been torn apart, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Li Yunshan's knee strike just now almost made him vomit up his leftover dinner.

Moreover, he also invited a few cronies to play mahjong with Li Yunshan. After a few words of persuasion from those cronies, the two would reconcile, and Li Yunshan would happily take the money and go gambling with him.

The plan was good, but in the end, the other party didn't give him any face at all. Those cronies didn't play their role either. Li Yunshan not only refused to gamble with him, but even dared to hit him again, making him lose face in front of the cronies he had found.

Damn it, when has Yu Ergou ever suffered such a huge loss?

Li Yunshan, you think you're so tough, huh? I, Yu Ergou, am not one to be trifled with either. If I don't avenge this, I, Yu Ergou, will not rest until...

Yu Ergou was filled with rage, gritting his teeth as he plotted how to take revenge on Li Yunshan and how to seize the money Li Yunshan earned from hunting.

But just then...

boom!

boom!

Two loud gunshots shattered the stillness of the night, the sound spreading rapidly in all directions, as if silently announcing something.

Yu Ergou was also terrified, but his gaze toward the direction from which the gunshot came was filled with ferocity: "Li Yunshan, since you're not going to play along, don't blame me for using some underhanded methods."

……

Inside the main room, everyone was surprised to see Li Yunshan fire two shots into the night sky and then stand quietly at the door.

At this moment, they could sense that a great change had taken place in Li Yunshan.

He's really different from when he was idle and irresponsible.

After standing there for a long time, Li Yunshan turned around and went into the house, only to find everyone staring at him in surprise: "What are you all looking at me for? Let's eat."

"Yes, yes, let's eat, let's eat."

Huang Zhifang realized what was happening, a kind smile appeared on her face, and she urged everyone to eat quickly.

After her reminder, everyone came to their senses. Although the surprise on their faces gradually faded, their impression of Li Yunshan changed significantly.

"Uncle Zhou, Brother Zhang, Uncle Pang, thank you all for your help today. I'll drink first as a sign of respect, please feel free to drink as you like."

Li Yunshan picked up a glass of loose liquor, tilted his head back, and the glass was empty in no time.

"Hehe, we have to thank you too. You've beaten such a deer so badly that we've all had our fill today."

Uncle Zhou said with a smile.

In those days when meat was only available during festivals, Uncle Zhou was overjoyed to be able to eat meat to his heart's content today, even though it wasn't a festival.

Although they are hunters, they mostly use the prey they hunt to exchange for money or supplies to supplement their household income.

Li Yunshan is so generous right now. He's willing to cut so much venison and wild boar meat, stew it, and treat them to meat and wine. Who wouldn't be happy?

Zhang Sange's face was all wrinkled from smiling so much that his eyes were practically slits.

"Come on, let's eat meat and drink wine!"

"This venison stew is really good, simply delicious!"

"Yunshan, if there's another good thing like this again, you must remember us!"

"..."

Several grown men began to clink glasses and exchange toasts.

After a while, when they had eaten and drunk their fill, Uncle Zhou and the others finally left Li Yunshan's house.

"Yunshan, I'll head back now."

By this time, it was already quite late. Huang Zhifang was getting on in years and wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible.

"Mother, wait a moment."

Li Yunshan grabbed her arm and then took out the money he had earned that day from his pocket.

After deducting the money he spent on purchasing a hunting rifle, bullets, alcohol, and candy from the supply and marketing cooperative, he still had more than 360 yuan left.

Li Yunshan counted out five ten-yuan bills and stuffed them into Huang Zhifang's hand: "Mother, I was unfilial in the past few years and didn't take good care of you. Here is fifty yuan for you. Eat whatever you want, don't be stingy."

Holding the money Li Yunshan stuffed into her hand, Huang Zhifang was stunned for a moment. She then grabbed his hand and stuffed the money back into his hand, her eyes quickly welling up with tears.

"Third son, you've changed for the better and become successful. I'm truly happy for you. But I can't take this money. Keep it for yourself, just in case."

"Besides, Xiulan has been with you for so many years and gave birth to Doudou. You didn't treat her well in the past few years. Now that you're making money, you should treat her well and buy her more food and necessities!"

"Mother, I still have so much money. I won't let Xiulan suffer. Please take it. Besides, I'll have plenty of opportunities to earn money when I go hunting in the mountains."

Li Yunshan smiled and stuffed the money back into Huang Zhifang's hand.

Before Huang Zhifang could speak, Wang Xiaolian, who had just finished clearing the dishes and entered the room, saw this and quickly closed Huang Zhifang's hand holding the money: "Oh, Mother, the Third Brother is so filial to you. Since he gave you the money, please accept it. Don't upset him."

She had a fake smile on her face. When she came into the house, she saw clearly that the money her third son had stuffed into his mother's hand was several ten-yuan bills.

Although I don't know the exact number, it should be quite a few, at least thirty yuan.

The money ended up in her mother-in-law's hands, and now that her mother-in-law is living and eating with her and Li Yunshi, the money has essentially gone to her family and into her hands.

Wang Xiaolian had already decided that whenever the family needed anything, she would ask her mother-in-law, Huang Zhifang, for help, and her mother-in-law would definitely provide some subsidies.

"Mother, since it's from the third son who's being filial to you, please accept it. Consider it a gift for him, and give it to him whenever he needs it."

Li Yunshi also spoke up, but unlike Wang Xiaolian, he didn't have as many thoughts on his mind.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaolian couldn't help but secretly glare at Li Yunshi. This husband of hers was truly muddle-headed. Could the idea that the money the third son was spending for his mother be the same as the idea that the money was being saved for his mother be the same?

"Okay, then I'll take it."

Since both her sons and eldest daughter-in-law said so, Huang Zhifang put the money away.

"Third brother, we'll head back now. You've had a long day, go wash up and get some sleep."

"Okay, brother, be careful on the road."

After Li Yunshi and the others left, Li Yunshan first went to check on Dou Dou and found that the little girl was already asleep. Then he went to the kitchen to fetch two buckets of hot water, intending to go to the bathroom to wash up.

But when Li Yunshan carried two buckets of hot water and pushed open the door to the bathroom, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Inside the bathroom, a wooden tub large enough for two people to bathe together was filled with hot water. Lin Xiulan had her hair up and was soaking in the steaming water.

The water in the wooden tub was very hot, making Lin Xiulan's face flushed and look exceptionally alluring.

At this moment, she was holding a towel and carefully wiping her fair and slender neck. With her movements, her breasts were faintly visible in the mist.

"Gurgle!"

Li Yunshan couldn't help but swallow hard. In his previous life, he had never noticed that Lin Xiulan was so alluring.

Damn it, I must have been blind in my past life to leave such a good wife unappreciated and instead go off to hang out with that bunch of bastards, Yu Ergou.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Xiulan, who was taking a bath, frowned when she saw Li Yunshan suddenly enter.

"Hehe, Xiulan, I came in to take a shower, I just didn't notice you were here too..."

Li Yunshan chuckled and rubbed his hands together, but his eyes never left Lin Xiulan.

"You can go out first, I'll be done washing soon."

"Hehe, um... Xiulan, you see I've been behaving pretty well these past few days, so... how about we shower together?"

Seeing Lin Xiulan's rosy cheeks looking extremely alluring, Li Yunshan shamelessly approached the wooden tub, eager to try.

"Huh? Let's shower together?"

Lin Xiulan gasped in surprise, her pretty face turning even redder.

"Didn't you say that once I bought a hunting rifle and could give you and Dou Dou a good life, you would give it to me? Now I've bought the hunting rifle, and I've made a lot of money. You and Dou Dou can finally live a good life... Hehe, look, I've changed for the better these past few days..."

"Let's... let's shower together!"

Li Yunshan spoke shamelessly while taking off his cotton-padded coat.

"But DouDou isn't asleep yet... I... I'm not in the mood either..."

Lin Xiulan said softly.

Although Li Yunshan has indeed changed a lot during this period, Lin Xiulan still feels somewhat resistant whenever she thinks about the hard times she had in the past. She is not yet ready to accept him.

"Xiulan, wife..." Li Yunshan suddenly became anxious: "I just went to check on Dou Dou, she's already asleep. If you're not in a hurry, we don't need to rush... Take it slow, the mood will come..."

Seeing Li Yunshan's flustered and pale face, Lin Xiulan hesitated for a moment before blushing and saying, "But... I'm on my period."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Li Yunshan's head, instantly calming his feverish mind.

"Uh... let's talk about it after that's over."

Li Yunshan scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his face turning red for once: "Well... Xiulan, I... I'll go out first."

With that, Li Yunshan turned and left the bathroom.

Looking at his forlorn figure, Lin Xiulan's heart softened: "Yunshan, could you rub my back for me?"

"what?"

Li Yunshan had just stepped out of the bathroom when he heard Lin Xiulan's words and was instantly stunned.

"Back rub?"

"Okay, could you rub my back for me? There are some places I can't reach."

Lin Xiulan's face flushed.

"oh!"

Li Yunshan responded, turned around and went back into the bathroom, closing the door behind him to prevent the heat from escaping.

Then, he took the towel from Lin Xiulan and was about to rub her back when he noticed several shallow bruises on her fair arms.

"Xiulan, this is..." Li Yunshan pointed to the bruises on her arm.

"This...you did this..." Lin Xiulan bit her rosy lips, but a few hot tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of her eyes.

But Li Yunshan's body stiffened.

Clearly, the bruises on Lin Xiulan's arms were his previous "masterpieces".

Thinking of this, Li Yunshan was filled with guilt: "Xiulan, I...I...I'm so sorry!"

Do you...hate me?
