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

Zhao Dong felt uneasy under the gaze of the three of them.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Zhang Yang deliberately smirked to scare him, "If you can't bring yourself to do it, then I'll do it. I'm warning you beforehand, I don't hold back..."

"I'll do it myself!"

With a loud snap, Zhao Dong also got a bump on his head!

It was smashed hard, and blood splattered out.

Gao Wen instinctively reached for the herbs, but stopped halfway through.

"Everyone, just bear with it! It'll be fine to use the medicine after the captain leaves. This little injury is just scary to look at; it won't affect your brain!"

……

As dawn breaks, its light illuminates the earth.

Zhang Yang and the other three men spread dry grass on the woodpile in the woodshed, curled up their legs and wrapped themselves in it, and slept there.

Li Huifang came over to make breakfast for the children.

When I came in and saw this scene, my eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei wanted to come in to help, but Li Huifang stopped them at the door.

"The brothers work hard on night patrols and don't get enough sleep. Don't come over and disturb them."

Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei immediately stopped.

The two little puddings held hands and were about to go back to the house. As they passed the front yard, they glanced at the ground.

"Sis, why are there so many soybeans in this yard?"

Following her sister's words, Zhang Wen looked down at the ground.

There was indeed a large handful of soybeans scattered on the ground, making it look messy.

"Could it be that my brother and the others knocked over the jar of beans when they came back last night?" Zhang Wen muttered to herself.

Zhang Wen then grabbed a broom to sweep the floor.

Zhang Yan went out to boil water, and when she saw soybeans all over the floor, she immediately called out to Zhang Wen.

"Wenwen, don't move!"

"Huh? Sis? What's wrong?"

Zhang Yan took the broom and sweeper from Zhang Wen's hand and asked her, "Did you spill the beans?"

"No, it was there as soon as I woke up. My brothers probably spilled it," Zhang Wen explained.

"You can't sweep that!" Zhang Yan said sternly.

Zhang Fei was extremely curious. "Sister, why can't we sweep them up? These beans have all been roasted, they smell so good! Pick them up, rinse them with water, and then dry them on the stove, they're still edible! They're so delicious!"

"You're such a glutton!" Zhang Yan tapped her younger sister's nose, then hugged them both, lowered her voice, and whispered, "You two are still young, you haven't heard the stories of the mountains... In these mountains, besides wolves and wild boars, there are also weasels, snow leopards, and snakes..."

Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei listened without blinking.

Zhang Yan: "Some things can be fought, but some things are not to be trifled with. I once heard my father say that if you kill a weasel with a single blow, that's fine. But if you don't kill it and offend it, the weasel will hold a grudge!"

"Ah!" Zhang Wen was a little scared and shrank into Zhang Yan's arms. "I think I've heard Dad mention it too! Weasels can talk... they can speak human language!"

Zhang Fei was quite impulsive, puffing out her small chest, "I've never heard a weasel speak human language! Where is it! I want to hear it!"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Our Feifei is really brave! She dared to listen to wild animals in the mountains speaking human language!"

"I dare to listen!" Zhang Fei said proudly.

Zhang Yan couldn't stop smiling, and only after she finished laughing did she continue telling them stories.

"Weasels hold grudges. I heard that a family injured a weasel while hunting, and it escaped. Six months later, everything went wrong for that family. When they were building a house, it collapsed. When they were repairing the stove, it caught fire. Even their child almost fell into a well! It was terrifying."

Zhang Wen shrank even tighter.

Zhang Yan patted her head, "But, if you offend a weasel, it's not entirely hopeless. Just scatter some soybeans in the yard, and the weasel won't be able to find its way. If it can't find its way, it won't be able to seek revenge."

Zhang Fei instantly understood, "Oh! So my brother and the others must have encountered a weasel! But they scattered soybeans to prevent the weasel from finding their home!"

Zhang Yan laughed even harder, "Look, our Feifei is not even four years old yet, but she speaks very fluently as long as it's not time to eat meat! She's very clever!"

The three sisters chatted and laughed as they went inside, thinking that the only thing that happened last night was the weasel.

Zhang Yan was thinking about Zhang Yang and Zhao Dongxin's new shoes, so as soon as she got up this morning, she busied herself making new shoes for them.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei were learning attentively, and even Ya Ya wasn't craving milk today, lying obediently beside them and playing with her toes.

Just as the house was peaceful and quiet, Zhao Minde knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Li Huifang came out to open the door and saw that it was Zhao Minde. She immediately invited him into the house, saying, "Come in and sit down!"

"No, I came with the brigade leader, oh, and people from Wulipu too." Zhao Minde's smile was somewhat awkward.

Li Huifang looked behind him.

Indeed, there were four or five people.

Moreover, they all looked unwell.

Just now, when Zhang Yan was telling her sisters the story of the weasel, Li Huifang was busy by the kitchen door and heard it all.

She also saw the soybeans in the yard and knew that things had not been peaceful last night.

I just don't know what kind of trouble has arisen this time.

The captain is here again...

Li Huifang moved closer to Zhao Minde, "What happened?"

"It's not a huge deal, but it's not a small one either... To be specific, we'll have to ask Yangzi and Dongzi. Are they still asleep?"

Zhao Minde knew that their night patrols were hard work, after all, he had been through the same thing himself.

But when the people of Wulipu complained to the brigade, the brigade leader wanted to question them, and there was nothing he could do.

"Sis, wake them up. If you're quick, you can finish questioning them in a bit, then go back to sleep," Zhao Minde said, forcing himself to speak.

Feeling uncertain, Li Huifang rubbed her left hand against her right, nervously returned to the woodshed, and shook Zhang Yang.

"Yangzi, the captain is here to see you..."

The first thing Zhang Yang did upon waking up was to cover his hat.

The cotton hat was so big it looked like a pot lid, and when it was pulled down, it just covered the injury on his forehead.

He deliberately yawned, said "Okay," and then kicked Zhao Dong awake, "Get up, the captain has arrived."

Zhao Dong wasn't as quick-witted as him; he jumped up in a flash, yawning incessantly.

Li Huifang immediately noticed the bruise on his forehead. "Dongzi! Where did you hit your head?!"

"Huh?" Zhao Dong's facial muscles tightened; he felt the pain now.

Only then did I suddenly remember the incident with the brick.

He was still dizzy when Zhang Yang pulled him outside.

"Mother, keep watch at the door for a while, don't let anyone in, and don't touch the soybeans in the yard. I'll explain when I get back!"

Li Huifang was worried and saw them to the door.

However, when the two groups of men met, their expressions became even more strange.

Zhang Yang closed the courtyard gate behind him.

He turned around and pushed Zhao Dong forward.

"If we can't beat them at night, why should we be afraid during the day?"

"They're not going to come to your door and beat you up, are they?"

"Now that the captain is here, he must be here to uphold justice. Just tell me how they beat us last night!"
