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

While Li Yunlan was speaking, Huang Zhifang, Li Yunshan, Li Yunshi, and others who were standing nearby listened attentively.

When they heard that Feng Cuilan and Wang Yuanchao had committed domestic violence against Li Yunlan, they were all furious. Huang Zhifang was especially angry, her chest heaving, her eyes wide with rage, and her teeth clenched.

At the same time, Huang Zhifang was also relieved that Li Yunlan had not committed suicide at that time.

If Li Yunlan really acted impulsively and took her own life...

When everyone heard Li Yunlan recount her second experience of domestic violence against Wang Yuanchao and Feng Cuilan, they couldn't hold back any longer.

Because they had traveled all night from Guapigou Village to Xinghuo Commune Health Center, and when they entered Li Yunlan's ward, they found her lying alone on the bed, all by herself, with no one to take care of her.

Huang Zhifang gripped Li Yunlan's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes again. "Silly child, thankfully you're not that foolish. If you had taken your own life, it would only have benefited Wang Yuanchao and that old hag Feng Cuilan. Qianqian is still so young, only three years old. If she loses her father, she won't be too bad off, but if she loses her mother, I don't even want to think about how Wang Yuanchao and Feng Cuilan will treat her..."

"Damn it, this is really going too far! That bastard Wang Yuanchao and that old hag Feng Cuilan dare to bully my sister. If I don't show my teeth, they'll really think I'm a pushover."

Li Yunshan slammed his hand on the bedside table next to his hospital bed in anger.

This bedside table has been used for quite a few years, and a lot of the blue paint on the surface has peeled off.

When Li Yunshan slammed his long sledgehammer down, the tabletop cracked with a loud "crack," the wooden board on the countertop snapped, and the thermos on the countertop jumped violently, falling to the ground with a crash and shattering, spilling hot water from its inner liner all over the floor.

At the ward door, the nurse who was about to enter to check on the patients was startled to see Li Yunshan slap the bedside table and smash it to pieces, and the thermos also fell to the ground.

"You...I...I'm here to check on the patients."

The nurse cautiously glanced at the room full of burly men. Although they all looked exhausted, and several even had bloodshot eyes, they exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Normally, if a patient or their family member broke a thermos or dirtied a bedside table at the health center, she would scold them and make them pay for it.

However, when she saw Li Yunshan smash the bedside table with a slap and everyone in the ward looked angry, she became very polite when she spoke... no, she became extremely cautious.

"Investigate."

Li Yunshan glanced at the nurse, who was visibly frightened, and gestured for her to come in and check on the patients.

Only then did the nurse cautiously approach the bedside, check the gauze on Li Yunlan's head, and see if she had any discomfort after taking the medicine. Then, still feeling apprehensive, she quickly left the ward.

As soon as the nurse left, Li Yunmei took out a handkerchief from her bosom, bent down, and wiped away the tears from Li Yunshan's eyes and the tear stains on his cheeks.

"Fourth Sister, no matter what happens in the future, don't think about compromising yourself. The more you give in, the more others will take advantage of you."

"If you feel you can't go on with Wang Yuanchao, then divorce him and bring Qianqian home. We have plenty of places for you to stay. You can come back to stay with me or with Lao San anytime."

"Yes, Fourth Sister, I was planning to build a new house when spring comes and the weather gets warmer. If you don't want to live with that bastard Wang Yuanchao anymore, Third Brother can pay for a new house for you right next to mine, so we can take care of each other."

Li Yunshan said with a smile.

"Yunlan, did you hear that? Your third brother said it all. If you really don't want to be with Wang Yuanchao anymore, I support you getting a divorce. Bring Qianqian back with you, and let your third brother pay for a house to be built for you and Qianqian. It will be big enough for you and Qianqian to live in."

Huang Zhifang reached out and wiped away the tears that clung to the corners of Li Yunlan's eyes.

"Second sister, I understand."

Listening to the caring words from her eldest brother, third brother, second sister, and mother, Li Yunlan sniffed, her nose stinging with tears.

Previously, she thought Wang Yuanchao was honest, handsome, and had a secure job at a state-run grocery store. Despite her family's objections, she insisted on marrying him, even if it meant getting pregnant before marriage to force him to marry.

Now, she is being bullied by Wang Yuanchao and Feng Cuilan in the Wang family. Her eldest brother, third brother, mother, second sister, and brothers from the hunters' family in the same village have all rushed to Xinghuo Commune to support her and back her up, which has given her a lot of confidence.

"Yunlan, your eldest brother, third brother, aunt, and second sister are right. Since Wang Yuanchao and his mother treat you like this, if you continue to suffer and stay here, you probably won't be able to stay for long. You might as well take this opportunity to cut your losses and divorce Wang Yuanchao."

Zhang Sange spoke softly from the side.

"Yes, Yunlan, it's not your fault. It's the Wang family mother and son who are really heartless. The malted milk powder was given to you by your aunt, the scarf was knitted by your second sister, and the money was given by Yunshan. Why should Wang Yuanchao's mother want to take it all for herself? Hearing you say this, you must have suffered a lot since you married into the Wang family. They don't treat you like family."

Cai Er also spoke up.

Looking at the familiar faces surrounding her and hearing their concerned words, Li Yunshan bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face again.

She felt incredibly stupid before, but now she felt very happy.

Her mother supported her divorce, as did her eldest brother and second sister. Her third brother even said that as long as she got divorced, he would build her a new house next to his house so that she and Qianqian would have a place to live.

Tell me, in this whole area, who else would treat a daughter or sister who has married far away like this?

There were also Zhang Sange, Cai Er... and other elder brothers from the hunters' families in the same village. Knowing that she had encountered trouble at her husband's family home, they all traveled through the night, braving the cold, to support her and be her backing.

"Mother, eldest brother, second sister, third brother, and Zhang Sange, Cai Erge... I know what to do."

At this point, Li Yunlan gritted her teeth: "I want to divorce Wang Yuanchao, and I want to take Qianqian with me. I'm afraid Wang Yuanchao and his mother will treat Qianqian badly."

"Alright, if you want to take Qianqian away, Mom has no objection. Our family is quite well-off now. Your eldest brother works at the forest farm and has a stable job. Your third brother earns a lot of money hunting. Our family can't do without you and Qianqian's food, clothing, and other necessities."

"Look at you, you've only been married to this family for a few years, and your face has become so thin. It breaks my heart to see you like this. When you come home, I'll have your third brother go into the mountains and hunt some more game to help you recover."

As Huang Zhifang spoke, looking at Li Yunlan, whose head was wrapped in bandages and whose face was bruised and swollen, she couldn't help but start wiping away tears again.

"Mother, leave the hunting in the mountains to me. I guarantee I'll catch plenty of game and raise Fourth Sister to be plump and healthy."

"As for Wang Yuanchao, I won't let him get away with it."

Li Yunshan patted his chest and said, but at the end, his gaze sharpened, and everyone present understood what he meant.

Huang Zhifang helped Li Yunlan cover herself with the quilt and tuck her in.

She wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth, "And that old hag Feng Cuilan, Wang Yuanchao's mother, dared to steal my daughter's things and dared to beat my daughter. I will not let her get away with it."

"If she dares to bully my daughter, I'll make her know that the Li family's daughter isn't so easy to bully, and that she'll pay the price if she does."

Just then, the ward door was pushed open from the outside, and an elderly woman with half-white hair and a kind face walked in, carrying a thermos in one hand and holding Qianqian's hand in the other.

When she first entered, she was stunned to see the ward was crowded with people, and thought she had entered the wrong ward.

But when she saw Li Yunlan lying in the hospital bed, she realized that she hadn't gone to the wrong ward.

"Yunlan, who are these people...?"

"Aunt Ma, everyone in this house is my family. This is my mother, this is my eldest brother and third brother, this is my second sister, and these are all my brothers from the same village... After I was admitted to the hospital yesterday, Aunt Ma helped me with everything and even took care of Qianqian. I forgot to tell you all just now."

Upon seeing the elderly woman carrying a thermos, Li Yunlan quickly began to introduce her to the woman.

Then, she introduced Huang Zhifang and the others: "Mom, eldest brother, third brother, second sister, this is our neighbor Aunt Ma. Aunt Ma is good to me. She even helped me make the phone call home."

After listening to Li Yunlan's explanation, Huang Zhifang, Li Yunshan, and the others suddenly realized what was going on.

Huang Zhifang quickly stood up, walked up to Aunt Ma, and warmly and gratefully shook her hand: "Old sister, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what would have happened to my Yunlan."

"Sister, don't be so polite. Yunlan and I get along well. She's always helped me out. It's only right that we help each other."

As Aunt Ma held hands and exchanged pleasantries with Huang Zhifang, she glanced at the room full of people and was also surprised.

The phone call that Li Yunlan was beaten and hospitalized was made by her after dark last night.

At that time, she felt it was too late, and perhaps no one was even at the village office on Li Yunlan's side of the village.

Surprisingly, the call actually went through.

But Aunt Ma didn't expect that the phone call she made at night would lead to Li Yunlan's family arriving at Xinghuo Commune.

Judging from the looks of it, they braved the wind and snow overnight to travel here.

What surprised Aunt Ma even more was that so many people from Li Yunlan's family came.

Seeing eight tall, burly men in the ward, two of whom were carrying guns, Aunt Ma turned pale with fright.

"Sister Ma, don't be afraid. My two sons and these young men from the same village are all hunters. We traveled here overnight from home because we were afraid of encountering tigers or bears on the way, so we brought two hunting rifles to protect ourselves."

Seeing this, Huang Zhifang explained, and Aunt Ma was finally relieved.
