Reborn in 80: Starting with hunting in the mountains to get rich

Over the course of a week, the hunters set traps, snares, and dig pitfalls on the mountain, and in just five days, they killed 38 remaining shrews. The remaining shrews dispersed, forming small groups.

The original super pack of wolves was once again split into several smaller packs.

The wolf-hunting team returned home laden with wolf pelts, bones, teeth, and the meat they had harvested.

Old Zhang from the security department had already been carried down the mountain and sent to the central hospital in the county town. His left arm had been completely torn off and could not be saved.

Li Ju'an, Jiang Pao, Zhang Pao, Zhao Pao, and several other veteran hunters worked together to return the spoils to the forest farm to report back to Leader Chen.

When Leader Chen saw the pile of wolf pelts, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak, repeatedly saying "good!"

Li Ju'an and Jiang Pao joked, "Boss, you can't just say nice things without doing anything concrete. Give us more bullets, guns, and stuff like that, or even just give us cash directly!"

They had always thought that the forest farm was like this, never having received a large sum of money before; they only ever reported bullets and guns to be used for welfare. They never expected that this time, Leader Chen would actually be so generous, approving two thousand yuan and distributing it to each hunter per head, and even providing motorcycles to the few who contributed the most.

Li Ju'an's spirits truly changed when he got on his motorcycle. The little motorcycle roared to life with a really nice sound, and taking his wife for a ride made him feel incredibly cool.

He strapped the wolf's eyes to the back of the motorcycle and tied its mouth tightly. He then smiled and waved to the several gunners, saying, "See you later! Call me again if you're hunting."

Jiang Pao, Zhang Pao, and the others asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Li Pao? Don't you usually go into the mountains?"

Li Ju'an laughed and said, "Hunting is great, but there are other things that are even more great. I need to pick up a brother first, and then I have to take my wife and kids to the amusement park. I have to keep my promise to my wife. My mother's teeth aren't good, so I need to go to the dental clinic to have her molded and get a set of dentures."

Several people burst into laughter and said...

"Absolutely, family matters come first."

boom.

As you ride the little motorcycle, a gentle breeze caresses your face; the mountain air is free and refreshing.

Li Ju'an felt refreshed, sensing the approaching tide of a new era. The wheels of time were rolling in, and new changes were about to occur in the coming years.

Li Guaizi was already waiting for him at the prison gate.

Li Guaizi borrowed a tricycle, intending to ride Qin Pao back. He heard the roar of a motorcycle in the distance and saw Li Ju'an riding that iron behemoth. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "It has to be you. Where did you get that motorcycle?"

Li Ju'an laughed and said, "The forest farm is setting up enclosures; it was issued by Leader Chen."

"Wow, that's awesome! This is so cool! Take me for a ride later."

Apart from becoming a bit thinner, Qin Pao hasn't changed much in the past three years. His eyes look more mature, carrying a sense of steadiness born from experience.

Li Ju'an called out to him, "Brother Qin, get in the car and let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"Let's go back to the village!"

Qin Pao looked at Li Ju'an, who hadn't changed much, and gave a bitter smile, thinking that it had only been three years. Time was passing faster and faster, and the number of people around him was decreasing; the only people he cared about were his family.

Qin Pao sighed and said to Li Ju'an, "Let's go."

Li Ju'an patted the back seat; the wolf's eyes were tightly bound, revealing only its head.

Qin Pao looked into the wolf's eyes, a complex mix of emotions flashing within them. He sighed and said, "You deal with this menace."

Li Ju'an grinned and said, "Of course. It cost Leader Chen of the forest farm more than two thousand yuan and a lot of other things to take it down. This scourge has been against us for so many years. It was really a relief to take it down so easily."

After Li Ju'an escorted Qin Pao back to the village, Qin Pao turned back and gave Wolf Eyes one last look. At that moment, Wolf Eyes bared his teeth, as if he wanted to bite Li Ju'an again.

Li Ju'an waved goodbye to Qin Pao, leaving behind a bag of rice, a bag of flour, some dried meat strips, pickled vegetables made by his mother, and cured meat. He waved and called out, "Brother Qin, let's come again tomorrow. I'll take my wife home first."

He left the Qin family home, dragged Wolf Eyes into the mountains, and killed him with a single shot.

He saw no need to keep the wolf pelt; it would only be a menace. He burned the skin, flesh, and bones of the wolf's eye on the spot, as a sign of respect for the alpha wolf of this super pack.

"Go back to the right life and be reborn properly. Don't be reborn as an animal again. If you are reborn as a human, you might be able to get into university and live the life you want."

That year, Lu Zhiqiang and Yang Tingting's child was born, also a girl.

Lu Zhiqiang and his wife Yang Tingting from the fishing village of Huma River named their baby girl Lu Caiwei. The little girl was very imposing from birth, and her little fists made her mother wince.

Song Desheng was blocked by the one-child policy and had an abortion for his second child. Lu Jinyang married a girl from the forestry farm's finance department. At first, Lu Jinyang was reluctant, but he couldn't resist the girl's affectionate and devoted heart. It's said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man. After a while, Lu Jinyang also developed feelings for the girl, and their marriage was arranged.

The following year, Lu Jinyang had a daughter, whom he named Lu Yanting. The Lu family patriarch wanted to name her, but Lu Jinyang and Lu Zhiqiang didn't care about the older generation's traditions at all. When Li Ju'an asked, Lu Jinyang sighed and said, "It's not that we didn't want the patriarch to name her, it's just that the names he suggested weren't very nice."

Li Ju'an was curious; how bad could this be that even Lu Jinyang, who always listened to the old man, found it unbearable.

He stammered and pulled out a Chinese dictionary. Li Ju'an glanced at it and exclaimed, "Good heavens, Lu Shengnan!" That certainly sounded a bit masculine. The idea was good, but it just wasn't quite right.

Lu Jinyang said, "She's not joining the army. I just hope my daughter can live a peaceful life. There's no need for Shengnan."

The two men laughed.

The year is 90. Li Ju'an drives his car, taking his wife and daughter to the city to visit his brother Chen Xiangqian.

Chen Xiangqian called him over and said, "Do you have the phone number of the lawyer who was in court last time? Introduce him to me; I need to file a lawsuit."

"What kind of lawsuit is this? It's so serious."

Li Ju'an sent Zhang Yingnian to jail. He spent three years just collecting evidence. Finally, in the fourth year, he and Pang Duolai, as plaintiffs, rallied several business owners who had been cheated by Zhang Yingnian to file a joint lawsuit. Zhang Yingnian, sitting in the defendant's seat, was still not satisfied.

A few months later came the second trial. After losing the case, Zhang Yingnian was finally dejected and sent to prison.

Ironically, Zhang Yingnian and Li Changqing ended up in the same prison: Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai.

In Tilanqiao Prison, Zhang Yingnian suffered no shortage of retaliation from Li Changqing. Li Changqing could have applied for early release, but he deliberately kept Zhang Yingnian in prison for three more years to exact his revenge. Zhang Yingnian's life in prison was a living hell.
