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

What's wrong? You're angry because you didn't spend any money?

Before Li Huifang and Zhang Yan could react, Zhang Yang took the two children by the hand and bought each of them a string of sugar figurines.

"Thank you brother!"

The sugar figurines that cost three cents each became the greatest treasures for Wenwen and Feifei!

Two little girls held the sugar figurines, nibbling on them carefully, one bite at a time.

Zhang Yang felt a pang of heartache watching this.

No matter how tough things get, we can't let the children suffer!

He turned around and went to the sugar figurine stall, where he bought three boxes of crispy twisted dough sticks and a box of fruit candies.

Zhang Yan chased after him, feeling sorry for him, trying to persuade Zhang Yang not to buy it.

But then she remembered that her younger brother had just looked annoyed, and she didn't want to upset him, so she just grabbed the box of fruit candy and put it back to the shopkeeper.

"Two boxes of fried dough twists are enough! The child is too young to eat that many."

"Take it!" Zhang Yang deliberately pulled a long face. "There are five mouths to feed at home. If they can't eat it all, I will!"

The old lady at the snack stall hadn't seen such a generous customer in ages. Seeing the two of them struggling to get out of the way, she quickly said to Zhang Yan, "Young lady! You're so lucky! Your man treats you and your child so well; we must cherish him!"

Zhang Yan quickly clarified, "This is my younger brother!"

"Then you're even more blessed! Having such a capable younger brother gives you a lot of leverage in your husband's family!"

While they were talking, Zhang Yang paid the bill, picked up the items, and pushed Zhang Yan to browse other stalls.

"Sister, you and Mom can work together to clean up that roe deer hide; we should be able to make two wool vests." Zhang Yang planned the materials at home. "Let's also buy some cotton and cloth, and make a new outfit for each of us to celebrate the New Year!"

Zhang Yan couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to buy the items one by one according to Zhang Yang's wishes.

However, she was still careful with her money, and she would haggle with the shop owner over the price of every item she bought.

The family spent the morning at the market, and they sold all the roe deer meat on the cart, but when they returned, they had a cart full of meat!

As soon as Zhang Yang got home and put his things down, he heard a commotion at his doorstep.

"Zhang Yan! Zhang Yan! Get out here right now!"

Zhang Yan trembled with fright and hugged her two children, rushing into the house. "Wang Jie is here! Mom, don't open the door!"

"Sis, you stay home and behave yourself. I'm going to deal with this beast!" Zhang Yang said, then rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the door.

He was still thinking of finding a chance to teach that bastard Wang Jie a lesson, but unexpectedly, he came to him in a hurry!

Outside the door, several shrewish women pounded on the Zhang family's wooden door, making a deafening noise.

"Zhang Yan, you ungrateful wretch! You hide at home eating meat while your mother-in-law and husband starve? Have you no conscience?!"

"You've really grown up! You've given birth to two money-losing brats, and you still have the nerve to glare at your mother-in-law!"

"Get out here right now! Otherwise, the whole surrounding area will know about these heartless things you've done!"

Hey!

The Zhang family's door suddenly opened.

The few shrewish women from the Wang family standing at the door were not paying attention and were jolted by the sudden shaking of the door.

You bumped into me, I bumped into you, and we all fell to the ground, tumbling and groaning.

Zhang Yang gripped the door with both hands, glaring fiercely at the group of people outside.

"Wang Jie, you may not have any other skills, but you're quite adept at calling people around," Zhang Yang sneered. "What? Planning to tear down our old Zhang family's house so you can build us a new one?"

"Bullshit!" Wang Jie stood on tiptoe and strained to look into the house. "Where's Zhang Yan! Get her out here right now!"

"Who do you think you are? You think you can just call me whatever you want?" Zhang Yang sneered coldly.

Wang Jie was so angry his neck turned red. "I'm your brother-in-law! Your sister's legitimate husband! Stop talking nonsense! Make her come out right now! If she continues to be so shameless, don't blame me for leaving her!"

"Do you think you can just ignore it? You shameless bastard!" Neighbor Granny Sun walked out with her hands on her hips and shouted angrily.

"Now we finally see what the Wang family is really like!" Uncle Zhao, a fellow villager, shouted sternly.

"Who was it just now who was shouting about spreading this news far and wide? Spread it! Spread it as far as you can! Everyone needs to know that the Wang family, raised in a den of wolves and tigers, is not to be married off!"

Neighbors gathered around, surrounding the dozen or so people Wang Jie had brought.

Grandma Sun pushed aside the shifty-looking relatives of the Wang family and came to Zhang Yang.

"I heard the commotion they were making a long time ago, but I didn't get here in time! Everyone has a ton of work to do, right? It's just that the Wang family has nothing to do, they're so idle they're practically burning with boredom!"

Wang Jie was subjected to a barrage of insults and couldn't find a way to retort!

Moreover, seeing that everyone in the village had arrived, he only called over a dozen relatives to help keep order. This... this is not enough to scare them!

"Wang Jie, hurry up and say something!" a relative of the Wang family nudged him.

Wang Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout again, "This is Zhang Yan's and my private matter. What business is it of yours to interfere? Zhang Yan! I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, I'll—"

"Counting to thirty won't do you any good!"

Zhang Yang glared at her angrily, "Didn't you just say you wanted a divorce? Fine, since everyone's here today, let's all be witnesses! My sister is divorcing Wang Jie and cutting all ties with the Wang family!"

Wang Jie was dumbfounded.

Did he mishear, or did Zhang Yang say something wrong?

divorce?

That coward Zhang Yan, does she have the guts to divorce him?!

"Zhang Yang! Think this through before you speak!" Wang Jie's hand, pointing at Zhang Yang's nose, trembled slightly. "If you divorce me, your sister's life will be ruined! Who would want a broken man who's had a child with her—"

boom!

Zhang Yang delivered a flying kick to Wang Jie's abdomen, sending him flying!

If it weren't for the Wang family relatives holding him up from behind, Wang Jie would have been sent flying several meters!

"Why did you hit someone?!" Wang's relative asked hesitantly.

Zhang Yang's smile was sinister. "So what if I hit him? If he dares to utter another word of nonsense, he won't be leaving this village alive today!"

"Yes! Not a single one of them will leave!"

The villagers roared, and as they spoke, they surrounded the Wang family even more tightly.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Wang Jie felt a chill in his heart, knowing he was doomed to fail today.

But he was unwilling to let Zhang Yan off so easily.

Wang Jie, clutching his stomach which felt like it was about to split open in pain, grinned maliciously and said, "You want a divorce, huh? Fine! But we need to settle this score! Our Wang family has supported Zhang Yan for three whole years! She has to pay me back for all the food expenses she incurred for those three years!"

Just thinking about his mother's description of the roe deer that Zhang Yang had hunted, which was almost the size of a grown pig, he immediately regained his strength!

"Besides the food rations, there's also the bride price! It all has to be returned to the Wang family!"

"Fine, I'll give you a refund." Zhang Yang glared at him coldly. "It's just a few coins; take them back as your coffin money."

"How many coins?" Wang Jie laughed arrogantly. "Eighty-eight yuan! Not a single coin less! If it's even a penny less, Zhang Yan will never be able to sever ties with our Wang family!"
