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

“The educated youth are all from the city. Although they have lived in the village for a while, they have not yet fully adapted to rural life… I apologize to you on behalf of Du Shujun, and I ask for your understanding.”

Zhang Yang did not attribute this debt to Shen Yiming.

So he waved his hand at Shen Yiming, "Everyone should be responsible for their own words and actions. It's not your fault, I won't blame you."

Shen Yiming's mind then returned to the important matter at hand.

"When do you plan to start selecting militia members? I heard from the older members of the regiment that there might still be wolves in the mountains, and we don't know when they might attack the village again... We should take precautions as soon as possible!"

Zhang Yang was also very anxious about this matter.

However, since the captain trusted him and entrusted him with this important task, he naturally couldn't make a decision casually.

Zhang Yang said, "Today I will go door to door to collect names and see who else wants to sign up. After we confirm them, we will teach everyone how to use a gun."

Shen Yiming said expectantly, "Then I'll go back first and wait for your news!"

The educated youth thanked Li Huifang several more times before leaving together.

With only her own family left at home, Zhang Yan patted the wailing Ya Ya, comforting the child while angrily saying, "Those educated youth from the county town are really bullying us! What's the difference between this and robbery?"

Even someone as honest and simple as Li Huifang could hear the domineering and unreasonable tone in Du Shujun's voice.

"Yes, it's understandable that young people are hungry and want to eat meat... But our son risked his life, going into the mountains, killing wolves, and getting a new gun. He doesn't expect a word of thanks, and there's no need for him to come to our door complaining..."

Hearing Li Huifang say that, Zhang Yang felt a little warmer inside.

In my past life, my family members were too soft-hearted, so they were always overpowered by others and suffered bullying and mistreatment.

Now that God has given him another chance, he not only wants to ensure that his family has meat to eat and that they are well-fed, but also wants to make them strong in spirit!

So, Zhang Yang took this opportunity to tell Li Huifang his thoughts.

"Mother, sister, in other people's eyes, my life is no life at all."

"If something happens to me, the only ones who will shed tears for me are the two of you!"

"And if I gain anything, then it becomes what they call 'belonging to everyone'!"

"Everyone wants a piece of meat!"

"This world is tough enough as it is, and if you run into a few more scoundrels like this, you'll be sold out sooner or later and still be helping them count the money!"

Li Huifang and Zhang Yan were shocked to hear this.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei were also affected.

Three-year-old Feifei has barely seen any strangers.

Today, when she saw the unfamiliar older sister who had been sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, she secretly thought to herself: This older sister is so beautiful!

But now, hearing her brother say that, she suddenly understood right and wrong!

She even recalled the details of what had just happened and felt very sorry for her brother!

"Mother! Don't let them in!" Zhang Fei said in a muffled voice, her voice trembling with tears.

Zhang Wen was also fuming, "That's right! From now on, I'll guard the door! I won't let strangers into our house!"

"My brother is the best! No one can bully our brother!" Zhang Fei put her hands on her hips, her small body revealing courage and strength.

so good.

Zhang Yang's eyes welled up with tears, and Zhao Dong wiped away his own tears.

His crying only fueled Zhang Yang's anger.

"How dare you cry?" Zhang Yang glared at Zhao Dong. "Du Shujun probably knows you like her and is bullying you because of her power."

"Huh? No way?" Zhao Dong was stunned.

Zhang Yang, annoyed, pulled Zhao Dong aside to whisper among themselves.

"I see now, you've been bewitched by a honey trap!"

"But you're my brother, so let me make this clear from the start!"

"The wolf we sold together, and the industrial tickets that you mentioned are definitely from you, you can use them as you see fit."

"Whether you want to buy pots and pans to furnish your home, or save up to buy a bicycle to woo female educated youths, it's all up to you!"

"But if you really marry Du Shujun in the future, it's probably best if we brothers have less contact!"

"That woman is ambitious, and I am weak and alone, with only one life! I can't withstand her schemes!"

Zhao Dong was terrified. "Yangzi, don't talk nonsense! Nothing's wrong! I, I didn't intend to marry her... I just think she's pretty, right? Hehe, besides, there's more than one pretty girl in the educated youth settlement. I can always find someone else to like!"

Zhang Yang sighed helplessly.

What a silly boy.

Did he really think he could win over these female educated youths?

In his past life, he had seen far too many real-life examples!

Many educated youth, after being given the opportunity to return to their hometowns and cities, abandoned their wives and children, and even their husbands and children...

The villagers treated them very well, but no matter how good they were, nothing could compare to the life of being a superior person in the city!

Zhang Yang truly didn't want Zhao Dong to go through all of this.

"Dongzi, after we've filled our stomachs, we'll figure out how to earn some money... I'll take you to a bigger city and see more beautiful women!"

Humans cannot live like frogs at the bottom of a well.

Once he broadens his horizons, he will definitely look down on these ordinary female educated youths!

"The world outside is vast, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to choose a wife in the future!"

Having said that, Zhang Yang felt even more motivated.

He washed the cart, returned it to the villagers, and then began to prepare for the new members of the militia squad.

The list was compiled in less than a day.

Zhangjiatun is not a large village, but including those who signed up at the educated youth settlement, there are more than thirty names on the list!

"Thirty people, but only nine guns. The competition for this spot is fierce," Zhang Yang thought to himself.

Guns are limited, and bullets are limited; he can't let all candidates directly handle guns.

We need to test their courage in other ways!

"Dongzi, get ready. We'll be patrolling the mountains and hunting at night for the next few days," Zhang Yang said.

Zhao Dong could tell he had a plan, and quickly asked, "Should we invite everyone to come along?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, "How can we go together?"

“Most of the able-bodied young men in the village are on the list. If all of them are transferred away at once, and there is an emergency in the village that requires manpower, there will be no one to lend a hand.”

"My idea is to divide these thirty people into five groups for assessment."

"Each time, we only let six or seven people patrol with us at night."

"The smaller number of people makes it easier for us to observe and understand."

"We have a limited number of guns, so we must make the most of our limited resources to select an elite force!"

That evening, Zhang Yang carried out the plan, calling seven people to follow him and Zhao Dong up the mountain.

"Didn't they say they could fire guns?"

Some members of the group looked at the spear and machete that Zhao Dong had sent and exclaimed in confusion.

Shen Yiming was in the queue.

He also had his doubts.

He clearly saw guns at Zhang Yang's house, so why didn't Zhang Yang let them use them?

Is this kid too young, and after getting a position as a militia squad leader, he's trying to deliberately make things difficult for them and show off his power?
