Reborn at 60: I Helped My Sister Get Rich Starting from Hunting

"hiss!"

The icy air, when inhaled, caused a sharp, stinging pain.

Zhang Yang took a while to recover before opening his eyes.

The entire forest was covered in snow, and the whistling mountain wind made the branches creak and groan.

He shuddered again.

He found himself wearing only a thin, tattered coat, his legs sank into the snow, and holding a spear sharpened from a wooden stick.

what's the situation?

Didn't you just win the shooting championship and trip and fall when you were about to go on stage to receive the award?

How come I woke up to a completely different world?

The familiar yet unfamiliar scene gradually evoked distant yet profound memories!

"sister!"

Zhang Yang was jolted, let out a roar, and sprinted towards the east end of the woods.

He is reborn!

He was reborn in his hometown of Zhangjiatun in Northeast China in 1960.

October 1960, 12!

He will never forget this day!

The eldest sister was subjected to all sorts of insults and harassment by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law simply for eating an egg in an effort to help her breastfeed.

What's even more despicable is that because she gave birth to a girl, her in-laws and husband felt that wasting food was a burden, so they forced the child to be drowned.

Ultimately, the eldest sister couldn't bear the pressure and jumped off the cliff with her child in her arms, losing her life.

The eldest sister's in-laws showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, they came to collect the debt. Relying on their uncle, who was the militia captain, they forcibly took away her two younger sisters, who met a tragic end.

My mother, Li Huifang, was deeply affected and fell ill. She passed away not long after.

Zhang Yang hated it to the core, but because of his own weakness and incompetence, he could only leave Northeast China with a heart full of resentment.

Later, taking advantage of the reform and opening up policy, he went south to develop his business and became a well-known tycoon.

He desperately trained his body, practicing survival skills such as combat and shooting, trying to become stronger, but his family was already gone and could not be made up for.

On the day his older sister jumped off the cliff, he was hunting in the woods less than a kilometer away.

If he had taken a few more steps, his older sister wouldn't have died!

Unexpectedly, God really gave him a chance!

"Sister, wait for me, you must wait for me!"

Zhang Yang ran for his life, like a howling wind rushing through the forest.

Just when my lungs felt like they were about to explode, I finally saw a familiar figure from behind.

It was none other than the eldest sister, Zhang Yan.

He dared not shout, for fear of upsetting his older sister.

Approach carefully.

At this moment, Zhang Yan held the baby in her arms, her thin body standing in the wind, as if she would fall over if the wind blew by.

But she stood there stubbornly, her clothes tattered and her hair a mess.

"Yaya, our lives are too hard. We'll only be bullied if we live. It's better to end it all! Come with me, and we'll meet again in the next life..."

Just as she closed her eyes, preparing to leap, a pair of strong, large hands caught her around the waist and knocked her to the ground.

"Hahahaha, I saved her, I saved her..."

Zhang Yang gasped for breath, laughing and crying at the same time.

How could you possibly fail when you've replayed a scene countless times in your dreams?

"Yangyang, it's you?" Zhang Yan was stunned. "Are you alright?"

"What the hell do I have to do with this!" Zhang Yang shouted angrily. "Sister, is it worth risking your own and your child's lives for a family of beasts? You can't even make it to your in-laws' house, so why don't you come back? You have me, your mother, and Feifei and Wenwen, how can you bear to abandon us..."

"Yangyang, I... I didn't want to either, I was really forced into it... Waaaaaah..." When Zhang Yan saw her family, all the grievances in her heart seemed to find an outlet to pour out.

"Alright, alright, sis, if you can't make it with your in-laws, then don't stay with them! Come on, come home with me!" Zhang Yang took the initiative to hug his little niece. Looking at her thin and small appearance, he felt sorry for her and thought to himself that he must raise her to be plump and healthy in the future.

The two of them stumbled along, one foot in the deep water and the other in the shallow water.

"Squeak..."

Just as she was walking back the way she came, a sudden shout startled Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yang, however, looked pleasantly surprised.

It's a wild rabbit!

This was a trap he had set before, but he remembered guarding it for a whole day in his previous life and getting nothing in return.

Could it be that he changed his trajectory in this life, thus creating a butterfly effect?

"Haha, the weather's perfect, we'll have meat tonight!"

Zhang Yang handed Ya Ya to Zhang Yan and fished the rabbit out of the trap.

Good heavens, it must weigh at least five or six pounds!

Zhangjiatun is a village of over a hundred people, consisting of only low, blue-tiled, adobe houses.

It was lunchtime, but not a wisp of smoke rose from the chimney, a sight that filled one with a sense of desolation.

In this year of devastation, not only their village, but all over the country, faced droughts and floods of varying degrees, resulting in countless deaths from starvation and drowning.

Fortunately, Zhangjiatun is backed by mountains, so people can fill their stomachs with wild vegetables and game. Although they may not be full, they won't starve.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Yang had just pushed open the door when he almost bumped into someone: "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Yangyang?" Li Huifang, wearing a tattered overcoat, was clearly about to go out. She glared at him. "You brat, how dare you ask me what I want! Going into the mountains for a whole day is too dangerous. What if something happens to you? What will you do if you call your mother?"

"You're not allowed to go there again!"

"Mom, what could possibly be wrong with me! Look what I brought back!" Zhang Yang waved the things in his hand.

"Rabbit...rabbit?"

Li Huifang was stunned for a moment, her thin body under the tattered coat stiffening noticeably.

Immediately following was a burst of ecstatic joy!

"We're having a feast tonight!" Zhang Yang grinned.

"elder brother!"

"elder brother!"

Two little girls with their hair in pigtails were huddled in front of the stove baking wild vegetable pancakes.

Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, they all jumped and skipped over, each grabbing one of Zhang Yang's legs: "Brother, is there really meat to eat?"

"Brother, I haven't had meat in ages!"

The two girls are named Zhang Wen, who is five years old, and Zhang Fei, who is only three years old.

They are Zhang Yang's two younger sisters.

Due to malnutrition, the two girls were thin and small, and their hair was dry, yellow, and split.

"Go all out tonight, do whatever you want!"

"Yay, I want to eat lots of meat!"

"Brother is great!"

Wenwen and Feifei danced with joy.

"Alright, stop talking at the door, it's so cold outside!" Li Huifang pulled Zhang Yang inside.

"Wait, besides the rabbit, let's see who else I brought back!" Zhang Yang stepped aside, making way for Zhang Yan who was following behind.

"Yan'er? Why are you back?" Li Huifang was both surprised and delighted, and quickly welcomed her into the house. "Come in quickly, I haven't had a proper look at my granddaughter yet!"

“Mother, my elder sister’s in-laws are awful. They tried to drown the child, which drove my sister to the brink of suicide. Luckily, I found her in time, or she wouldn’t be alive!” Zhang Yang snorted.

“What? The Wang family is utterly despicable! My daughter, it’s all my fault for being useless. When your father broke his leg and we couldn’t save him, we were starving, so I traded you with the Wang family for ten pounds of flour…” Li Huifang was furious and couldn’t help but wipe away her tears.

Old Wang's family is from the neighboring Wulipu Village. They are a bunch of scoundrels with a terrible reputation.

Ever since her daughter got married, she has heard a lot about how her daughter was bullied. Not only did her daughter have a difficult mother-in-law and sister-in-law, but her husband, Wang Jie, also had a bad temper and would hit people at the slightest disagreement.

She was looked down upon even more after giving birth to a girl this time.

If you could just get by, you wouldn't want to jump off a cliff!

"Wow!"

At this moment, the baby girl in the swaddling clothes started crying loudly.

"The baby must be hungry, quickly feed the baby!" Li Huifang wiped away her tears.

"Mother, I... I'm such a wretched body, I can't produce milk!" Zhang Yan's face was flushed red.

"What are we going to do? We only have wild vegetable pancakes at home, we can't make batter!" Li Huifang was also anxious.
