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

Old Man Jiang was also undecided in this world, so he looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang gave Zhao Dong a push, "Go after her! She's practically throwing herself at you, why not take advantage of it?"

Others: "Huh?"

These days, men in the countryside are very honest and simple!

After a lifetime of hard work, I'd be content to have a wife, kids, and a warm bed to sleep in!

Not tempted by the allure of the glamorous world, and without so many romantic notions!

So when they heard Zhang Yang say that, they thought the kid was naturally a womanizer!

Zhang Yang ignored their complicated looks and continued:

"Actually, last time Wang Zhaodi insisted on paying us, I also felt it wasn't impossible... In the end, it was just that she herself didn't meet our requirements."

“This time it’s Du Shujun who’s offering to help out, so be it. She’s willing to work and hasn’t said she wants to take anything from the house, so just let her come.”

Zhao Dong looked at Zhang Yang with an expression of utter disbelief.

"Yangzi, what's wrong with you today? You didn't say that before..."

Zhang Yanglei smiled frankly, "I never said before that you can't offer yourself up! I just said that if you insist on marrying her, she can't possibly live a hard life with you. But now that we're doing better, it's not a problem for you to try."

Zhao Dong felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. "So you mean that if we go back to the way things were, we wouldn't be able to hunt meat in the mountains, and our lives wouldn't be as prosperous as they are now... then she wouldn't stay with me to protect this family?"

Zhang Yang did not answer his question directly, but everyone else could see through it.

"Dongzi, you've already stated this principle yourself, so why are you pretending not to understand?"

"It's obvious that she doesn't like you as a person, but rather the meat in your kitchen!"

"And guess why she comes at this hour so early in the morning? Isn't it to avoid other people?"

"If a girl truly likes you and wants to be with you, why would she be afraid of others knowing her feelings? Going around secretly is just a way to make you feel guilty and get a little something out of you, isn't it?"

People may use rough language, but their reasoning is sound.

Zhao Dong was furious, but he had no room for rebuttal.

"Alright, alright, stop surrounding Dongzi. This kid has eaten chicken, pork, and bear meat, but there are some meats he hasn't tried yet! He probably doesn't understand what you're talking about. Let him figure it out himself and digest it."

Zhang Yang saw the others out and chatted with them a few more times along the way.

When he returned, he closed the door, ignored Zhao Dong's conflicted expression, and went straight to sleep.

Zhang Yang woke up naturally after a good night's sleep, and before he could even lift the covers, he found someone sitting next to him on the kang (a heated brick bed), which startled him!

Upon recognizing Zhao Dong, Zhang Yang was both amused and exasperated. "I'm perfectly healthy! I'm just taking a nap! I don't need you here watching over me."

Zhao Dong looked dejected. "Yangzi, stop beating around the bush! What are you really thinking? Tell me the truth! I've been thinking about this for so long! I just can't figure it out, do you think she and I can make it or not?"

Zhang Yang was so angry he wanted to punch him in the face.

"So all the things your teammates told you were just empty words?"

"Everyone else saw through her scheme, so why don't you understand?"

"Du Shujun just wanted to get some meat out of you, and you, on the contrary, have already thought of what to name the child you had with her!"

Zhang Yang didn't want to mention Du Shujun anymore; he pointed to the mountains outside.

"If I do the math, in two more months, the winter ban in the mountains will be lifted. Then everyone can go up the mountain freely to gather firewood, pick mushrooms, dig bamboo shoots... Life will gradually become more lively, and no one will have to stare at you for a bite to eat."

"Believe it or not—at that time, Du Shujun won't be coming to see you all the time anymore."

Zhao Dong was even more frustrated.

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Of course, if you look at the whole area and you don't like any other girls, and you only like Du Shujun and insist on hanging yourself on this one tree... then I firmly support you marrying her."

"When you find a new woman you like tomorrow, you'll be just like my ex-brother-in-law Wang Jie, getting dumped by Du Shujun and then marrying someone else!"

Zhao Dong was furious. "How can that be? Marrying so many women is the behavior of a landlord! I don't want to be that kind of person!"

Zhang Yang was exhausted from trying to persuade him.

He really hates dealing with these trivial family matters!

The most satisfying and authentic way to hunt is to take a gun up the mountain and shoot your prey!

But Zhao Dong was stuck in a dead end; he couldn't just ignore it.

Zhang Yang had no choice but to put aside his last bit of good temper and say a few more words.

"Then take everyone's advice and choose again! If it really doesn't work, we can observe until spring and then decide, okay?"

"Anyway, you've already heard what Du Shujun said. She's not here to marry you; she's just here to help your family! If you're really interested in her, just let her come and help! If she wants some meat, share some with her; it's not a big deal."

Zhang Yang understood that Zhao Dong wasn't truly confused; he simply still harbored an unyielding possessiveness towards Du Shujun.

After all, the poor boy had finally turned his life around and caught the eye of the female educated youth. Of course, he wanted to go further and reap the rewards of his victory!

Therefore, Zhang Yang cannot blindly oppose it, lest he activate Zhao Dong's rebellious mentality!

But Zhao Dong is too simple-minded and can never outwit Du Shujun.

Marrying this kind of woman will lead to constant turmoil and chaos at home. Not only will you not have a few days of peace, but the two of you might even lose your brotherhood.

Therefore, it would be impossible for him to marry Du Shujun.

To truly cure Zhao Dong's mental ailment, a two-pronged approach is probably necessary!

The goal is to both allow Zhao Dong to find a new lover and make Du Shujun reveal her true colors.

Just as Zhang Yang was thinking this, the Gao brothers suddenly came to visit.

Zhang Yang suddenly had an idea. He pulled Gao Wen aside and whispered, "Have you two gotten married yet?"

Gao Wen gave an embarrassed smile, "Don't laugh at me, but I'm not married yet. It's because my family is poor, and no one wants me."

"Then you better perform well from now on!" Zhang Yang couldn't wait to teach Gao Wen how to perform. "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub... If I catch anything recently, it's all yours! Just say you caught it! Make your name as the new Hunter King known!"

Gao Wen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly declined, "How can that be? If anyone's going to line up, it should be Dongzi first, I won't get a turn..."

"It's all for Dongzi." Zhang Yang was a little angry when he mentioned this. "Dongzi has been plagued by bad romantic encounters lately, and we have to help him."

Then, Zhang Yang told him about Du Shujun breaking into the room.

Gao Wen roughly understood and sorted out the plan. "So, you want me to stand out and have Du Shujun throw herself at me, so that Dongzi can see what kind of person she is?"

Zhang Yang laughed heartily, "That's right! You're so clever!"

Gao Wen scratched his head sheepishly, "This isn't difficult, but we haven't been able to find a single chicken feather in the mountains lately. How are we supposed to be the King of Hunters?"
