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

"Third brother... is injured!"

Wang Xiaolian, who was nearly knocked down, was still in shock. When she saw that Li Yunshan was covered in blood, she screamed in terror, her face turning pale.

Upon hearing Wang Xiaolian's scream, Huang Zhifang's legs went weak, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost lost her balance.

If Lin Xiulan hadn't caught her quickly, Huang Zhifang would have fallen long ago.

"Quick...quick, help me out..."

Huang Zhifang's face was also pale, and his lips trembled as he spoke.

Lin Xiulan quickly helped Huang Zhifang out of the house.

Upon seeing the blood on Li Yunshan's body, Huang Zhifang's face turned even paler. She never expected that despite her repeated warnings to her third brother before he went hunting in the mountains, her worst fears had still come true.

"Third son...my son, are you...are you alright...?"

Huang Zhifang quickly broke free from Lin Xiulan's support and staggered toward Li Yunshan, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Mother, Father..."

Dou Dou ran out, hugged Lin Xiulan's leg, and looked at Li Yunshan with timid eyes.

"DouDou, don't look."

Lin Xiulan quickly picked up Dou Dou and covered her eyes, but her own heart was clenching.

At this moment, Lin Xiulan was also feeling complicated. She hadn't expected that Li Yunshan wasn't just talking casually, but had actually gone to the mountains to hunt.

Remembering the boast Li Yunshan had made during the day, saying he would turn over a new leaf, support the family, and give his wife and daughter a good life, he returned carrying a wild boar in just half a day.

Could it be that he wasn't just saying it casually?

Has he really started to learn well?

However, the price of this complete transformation is too high.

Seeing Li Yunshan covered in blood, and despite the fact that he had assaulted her during the day, Lin Xiulan's brows still betrayed a hint of worry.

I hope he doesn't get hurt.

"Mother, elder brother, I'm alright. I'm covered in this wild boar's blood."

"This wild boar should weigh around 300 pounds. I lay in the snow in Xiongxiazi Gully for more than two hours, and it was almost dark when I finally caught up with it. I shot it down with one shot, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to carry it back, so I gutted the wild boar to reduce its weight. That's how I managed to bring this big guy back."

Seeing the deep worry on his mother's and elder brother's faces, Li Yunshan threw the wild boar on his shoulder to the ground, took off his tattered coat stained with blood, and explained to his mother and elder brother.

Huang Zhifang and Li Yunshi finally understood how the blood on Li Yunshan's body came about, and their hearts were finally at ease.

"Son, stop fooling around and gambling. Just settle down with Xiulan and live a peaceful life. Show more love to Doudou. If you have the chance, have two more big, healthy boys. Then you'll have something to look forward to."

Huang Zhifang earnestly persuaded him.

Li Yunshan obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Mother, I was wrong before. I will never hang out with those bad friends again, and I will never gamble again. I will live a down-to-earth life with Xiulan and raise Doudou well. I have also thought it through. From now on, I will work harder to go hunting in the mountains and try to earn more money so that Xiulan and Doudou can live a good life, and I will take good care of you, Mother."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhifang beamed with joy, took Li Yunshan's hand, and patted the back of his hand: "Good, good, it's good that you think this way. From now on, you and Xiulan should live a good life together and try to have two more big, healthy boys. Your mother is still young and can help you take care of them."

Li Yunshan blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him. He glanced at Lin Xiulan under the eaves and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Mother, I caught two pheasants on my way back. How about we have pork stew with mushrooms for dinner? I'll also make you a pork tripe and chicken soup."

"Just eat whatever you like. You can keep the pork to sell for money, and you can save the pheasant for Xiulan and Doudou to help them recover. Look how thin they are..." Huang Zhifang shook his head and declined.

"Mother, I know you mean well, but I've never been filial to you before. Now I want to be filial to you, so please listen to me," Li Yunshan said sincerely.

"Mother, you said that the third son wants to turn over a new leaf. I think we should start with this meal."

Li Yunshi said with a smile.

Although he didn't quite believe that Li Yunshan could turn over a new leaf, he couldn't bear to ruin the current atmosphere, since at least his mother seemed very happy.

"By the way, big brother, sister-in-law, please stay for dinner. I was immature before and made you unhappy, but I will definitely learn to be better in the future."

Li Yunshan said earnestly.

Looking back on his past life, he ran to his older brother and sister-in-law's house to steal money when he was broke. His sister-in-law was unhappy, but his older brother sided with him, which caused his sister-in-law and older brother to get angry and even have a cold war.

Later, he became wealthy, but because of a grudge with his sister-in-law, he never helped his brother and sister-in-law's family.

When Li Yunshan saw his elder brother and sister-in-law again, he was filled with guilt.

"Hmph, Li Laosan, don't think you can fool me, your sister-in-law, by saying a few nice words. If you ever dare to sneak into my house to steal chickens or dogs again, I'll break your legs with a carrying pole."

Wang Xiaolian snorted coldly and retorted harshly.

However, seeing such a large wild boar on the ground, she was also tempted.

Since Li Yunshan invited her to dinner, it would be foolish not to take advantage of the situation.

Oh right, I need to go home and call my two little brats over for a meal, so I can take advantage of the third one a bit more.

With those thoughts in mind, Wang Xiaolian turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Hey, wife, where are you going?" Li Yunshi called out hurriedly.

"I'm going home to bring my two kids over."

After Wang Xiaolian finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the darkness.

"Third brother, your sister-in-law...she's..."

Li Yunshi looked embarrassed; he knew what Wang Xiaolian was up to.

"Brother, I've wronged you and sister-in-law before, but now... it's nothing."

Li Yunshan just smiled and didn't elaborate.

"Sigh, third brother, I hope you can live a good life from now on and stop messing around. You're just loafing around all day, which is not the right path for you."

Li Yunshi patted Li Yunshan on the shoulder, and then said to Huang Zhifang, "Mother, it's cold outside. Please come inside first. I'll help the third son deal with the wild boar."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen to boil water.

"Xiulan, look, I hunted a wild boar."

Li Yunshan, with a shameless grin, fawned over Lin Xiulan, pointing obsequiously at the wild boar in the yard.

"Um……"

Lin Xiulan responded faintly, looking at Li Yunshan whose clothes were covered in blood. Her rosy lips parted several times before she uttered a brief question: "Are you... alright?"

"It's nothing, how could anything be wrong with me, haha."

Li Yunshan chuckled awkwardly to ease the tension between them. Looking at the beautiful face before him, he slowly reached out his hand.

"What...are you going to do?"

Just as Li Yunshan's fingertips touched her cheek, Lin Xiulan turned her face slightly to avoid his fingertips.

"Hehe..." Li Yunshan chuckled dryly, "Xiulan, you've had a tough time these past few years."

"If you have nothing to do, go and lend a hand to your older brother."

These inexplicable words startled Lin Xiulan for a moment. She then calmly finished speaking and carried Dou Dou into the house.
