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

It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but only when they are truly heartbroken.

Although his second sister told him not to cry, he was raised by her and had followed her around since he was a child.

In my past life, my family was very poor when I was little, and we often didn't even have enough to eat.

My eldest brother was only eight years old at the time, and he had to work in the fields with my parents to earn work points. The responsibility of taking care of him and my younger sister fell on my second sister, who was only six years old at the time.

I remember when I was little, my second sister would secretly take me and my younger sister to the field to dig up sweet potatoes so we could take them home and cook them.

When the sweet potatoes were cooked, the second sister gave the big ones to him and her younger sister, and ate the small ones herself.

When their parents found out, their father wanted to beat the three of them, but the second sister took all the blame and ended up getting a severe beating from her father, her buttocks were all bruised and battered.

When Mother was applying medicine to Second Sister, she saw that Second Sister had been beaten by Father until her skin was torn and bleeding. At that time, both she and her younger sister cried.

When he was bullied by other children in the village, his second sister would always be the first to stand up for him.

Later, his second sister got married, and he also started his own family. However, he was a disappointment and made a fool of himself, divorcing Gao Hongmei, Su Lihua, and Lin Xiulan.

In his past life, his second sister had tried to persuade him with great disappointment, but he was two-faced and wouldn't listen to her advice.

Later, Zhou Xishun, because his second sister had not gotten pregnant for a long time, went outside to find other women, hoping that they would give him a son. When his second sister found out, the two got into a fight, which ended in divorce.

After the divorce, my second sister was depressed for a long time before she cheered up and went south to work.

However, my second sister was gone for several years, and when she returned, she had developed a mental illness.

When asked the fellow villagers who brought her back, they learned that when the second sister went south to work, she had a relationship with a man who made vows of eternal love, saying that he would marry no one but the second sister.

The second sister believed it to be true and even became pregnant with the other party's child.

A few months later, a woman led a group of people to her door, beat the second sister half to death, and even caused her to miscarry.

It was then that my second sister realized that the man was married and that she was the other woman.

The divorce was originally due to Zhou Xishun having affairs with other women. She never expected that she would think she had found true love, only to find out that she was the other woman. This resounding slap in the face, coupled with the miscarriage of her unborn child, made it impossible for the second sister, with her strong-willed nature, to accept reality, and she went insane.

After returning to her hometown, my second sister went crazy for several years. In 89, when she went to the market in town during the Spring Festival, she was hit by a passing truck and died before she could be taken to the hospital.

Replaying the tragic end of his second sister in his previous life in his mind, Li Yunshan's heart trembled. Looking at his second sister, Li Yunmei, whose face was bruised and swollen, he secretly vowed that he would never let his second sister repeat the same mistake in this life.

"Stop crying, I know you feel sorry for your sister."

Li Yunmei reached out and gently stroked Li Yunshan's face: "Third brother, I read in the newspaper that you went to the forest farm to hunt tigers. It's so dangerous, how could you dare to go alone!"

"Second sister, Hongmei's father broke his leg and was hospitalized. They don't have the money for surgery, so I was thinking of going to earn some money..."

Li Yunshan scratched the back of his head as he explained.

"Second Sister, you don't know, Third Brother has turned over a new leaf. He's stopped hanging out with those bastards like Yu Ergou and is now settling down to live a peaceful life with Xiulan. Lately, he not only hunted down a tiger, but the other night, he also killed a bear that wandered into the village."

Seeing his second sister, Li Yunmei, still lying in a hospital bed while caring for their third brother, Li Yunshi's eyes reddened, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

The changes in the third brother during this period are obvious to all. From hunting wild boars, to hunting deer, wolves, and tigers, and then killing the bear that was harassing the village the night before last, everything the third brother has done has overturned the impression of him as the eldest brother.

Especially after Li Yunshan made money, he began to settle down and live a stable life with Lin Xiulan, and lent money to Gao Hongmei so that her father could have surgery for his broken bone.

Especially after the bear they killed the night before last, the fact that the third brother was willing to give up such a huge profit and publicly say that he would use the money from selling the bear to pay for the deaths of the villagers, donate money to the village primary school, rebuild the school building, and add desks and chairs made him look at Li Yunshan with new respect.

"Really?" Li Yunmei asked incredulously, looking at Li Yunshan. "Third brother, is what eldest brother said true?"

"Second sister, it's true."

At this point, Li Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"Good, good! If you learn well and live a good life with Xiulan, your father will be very pleased if he is watching from heaven," Li Yunmei said excitedly.

In the past, even after she got married, she still worried herself sick over her good-for-nothing younger brother, Li Yunshan.

When Li Yunshan and Gao Hongmei divorced, she went back to her parents' home for a few days and tried to persuade him with earnest words.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunshan wouldn't listen to her at all and still divorced Gao Hongmei.

Later, Li Yunshan married Su Lihua. She thought that her good-for-nothing brother should be able to live a good life with her, but unexpectedly, Li Yunshan divorced her after only a year.

Finally, before Li Yunshan and Lin Xiulan got married, she earnestly advised him. Even after Lin Xiulan gave birth to Dou Dou, she felt that Li Yunshan should be able to settle down and live a stable life with Lin Xiulan.

However, every time she went back to her parents' home, she could see that Li Yunshan never gave Lin Xiulan a kind look and also disliked Dou Dou.

So when Li Yunmei heard from her elder brother Li Yunshi that Li Yunshan had turned over a new leaf and was living a stable life with Lin Xiulan, she was happy for Li Yunshan, even though she was still experiencing the pain of being cheated on and abused by her husband.

"Sister, let's not talk about me now. You and Zhou Xishun have fallen out like this. Give me a straight answer: are you going to continue living with him, or are you going to get a divorce and go home?"

Looking at Li Yunmei, seeing her bruised and swollen face, Li Yunshan recalled the times his second sister had been kind to him.

In her past life, Second Sister and Zhou Xishun ended up divorcing, but the ending was complicated.

Li Yunshan wondered what would have happened if his second sister and Zhou Xishun hadn't divorced in their past life.

I'm afraid that, given my second sister's strong personality, continuing to live with a man who has wronged and abused her would be a torment for her, and the outcome would probably not be good.

"I want a divorce."

Li Yunmei said it almost through gritted teeth.

Whenever Zhou Xishun was mentioned, a hint of resentment would involuntarily appear on her face.

"As expected, just like in the previous life, my second sister still chose to get a divorce."

Li Yunshan's heart tightened as he recalled his second sister's fate in her previous life, and he felt somewhat worried.

But then he thought, since God has given him a second life, he must not let his second sister repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

After all, at this time in his previous life, he was idle and irresponsible, and he had no ability to support his divorced second sister.

Now, he has money in his pocket, as well as the knowledge and abilities he accumulated in his previous life. Even if his second sister chooses to divorce, he still has the financial resources and ability to help her lead a life different from her previous one.

"Second sister, have you thought this through?" Li Yunshi asked in a deep voice.

Given how badly Zhou Xishun beat his second sister, Li Yunmei, it's no surprise that Li Yunmei would say she wanted a divorce.

However, in today's society, things are better in cities, where there is less prejudice against divorced women. But in vast rural areas, various prejudices still abound against divorced women.

In particular, if a woman goes back to her parents' home after a divorce, others will think she is disrespectful to her parents' home. Some people may even try to introduce her to undesirable men under the guise of doing what's best for her.

Another question is whether Mother can accept her second sister's divorce. After all, the third sister has been divorced three times, and each time she made Mother very upset.

"Brother, I've thought it through. I want to divorce Zhou Xishun." Li Yunmei's gaze was firm, and her tone was resolute.

"Fine, let's get a divorce then. Since Zhou Xishun dares to treat you like this, even if you don't want to divorce, he will force you to."

Li Yunshi said.

"Second sister, even if we get divorced, I'll make sure Zhou Xishun suffers."

Li Yunshan was not surprised to hear that Li Yunmei was determined to get a divorce.

He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, the third brother is right. Although we have to get a divorce, we can't let Zhou Xishun bully us for nothing. If he dares to hit you, the third brother and I will hit him back," Li Yunshi said.

However, before Li Yunshan and Li Yunshi could even fight their way up, Zhou Xishun arrived at the commune health center early the next morning.

When Zhou Xishun arrived at the commune health center, Li Yunshi had just gone out to buy breakfast for Li Yunmei, and only Li Yunshan was in the ward talking to Li Yunmei.

As a result, they hadn't exchanged more than a few words when the ward door was pushed open, and Zhou Xishun, tall and stocky with a ruddy complexion, swaggered into the ward carrying two cans of malted milk powder.

"Zhou Xishun, get out of here!"

Upon seeing Zhou Xishun, Li Yunmei couldn't help but recall the pain of being abused by this man, and her emotions immediately surged. She pointed outside the ward and shouted.

"Yunmei, don't get agitated. I was blinded by greed and bewitched by that slut, which is why... that's why I did something I'm sorry for."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time and come home with me."

Zhou Xishun quickly smiled apologetically and said.

In the end, he even knelt down in front of the hospital bed with a mournful expression.

"Get out, I don't want to see you."

Li Yunmei turned her face away, not wanting to look at Zhou Xishun's face, which she found repulsive.

"Yunmei...you..." Seeing that his humble pleas for reconciliation had failed, Zhou Xishun couldn't help but let two resentful glints flash in the depths of his eyes.

"Third brother, could you talk to your sister for your brother-in-law?"

Zhou Xishun turned his gaze to Li Yunshan.

"Heh, she knows to use an umbrella when it rains, and she knows to drink milk when she's hungry. Zhou Xishun, you want me to persuade my sister to go back with you? Is that any different from asking me to push her into a fire pit?"

Although Li Yunshan wanted to beat Zhou Xishun up as soon as he saw him, he knew that now was not the time to do so.

If you want to beat up Zhou Xishun, you have to wait for the right opportunity.
