Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

That night, Zhang Yaoyang went to Sister Xinghua's house. He originally just wanted to inform her to get ready so that they could go up the mountain together the next day.

Who would have thought that there was a fight going on in his home at that moment, and cursing could be heard everywhere.

"You damned money-loser, I spent so much money to marry you, but you can't even give birth to a son. What's the point of having you?"

"Look at what you've done. You can't even wash your feet properly. Bah! Get out of here. Don't let me see you!"

The sound of a basin being overturned was heard from inside the house, and soon Xinghua, dripping wet, came out carrying a wooden basin.

Her expression was somewhat dull, and she did not even put up any resistance to the man's beating and scolding.

Apparently he's used to it.

Zhang Yaoyang was so furious that he wanted to rush in and give that bastard a good beating.

Only useless men will act like a bully at home all day long.

But he still held back. He was in no position to help, and being able to protect those two poor little girls was already his limit.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just reached adulthood and was still childish, if anyone else did this kind of thing, people would suspect that they were having an affair with Xinghua.

He pretended to be unaware and knocked on Xinghua's door.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm Zhang Yaoyang, open the door!"

He visited Xinghua's parents-in-law in a dignified manner, and they received him indifferently until they saw the bag he was holding in his hand, and then their attitude improved a little.

"Hey, you brought something here so late at night, are you here to see those two little girls? Hahaha..."

As he was talking, the old lady wanted to take the bag in a familiar manner.

How could Zhang Yaoyang possibly give it to her? He immediately stated his purpose.

"Aunt, this is the equipment for going up the mountain tomorrow. I prepared it for Sister Xinghua. I need to tell her some precautions to avoid any accidents!"

"Ah...I see. I thought it was something good."

The light in her mother-in-law's eyes suddenly went out, and she casually gave Xinghua a few instructions.

"Follow Zhang's waiter and work hard. Whether our family can eat meat depends on you."

Then he pointed to the two large dustpans in the yard and said, "Remember to turn over all the mushrooms before going to bed, so they don't get moldy."

Then he turned to Zhang Yaoyang and said, "Okay, you two can talk slowly. We are old and weak, so we won't accompany you anymore."

The couple stretched, yawned, and left, leaving Xinghua and Zhang Yaoyang alone in the yard.

Obviously, people who have no benefits are too lazy to put in more effort.

Xinghua said somewhat awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I was a little slow!"

"It's okay. I understand."

Zhang Yaoyang handed over a backpack containing fertilizer bags that Zhang Anxin had prepared.

There were some sharp weapons for self-defense, a dagger, a small hoe, and a bundle of ropes.

There were also some emergency rescue medicines prepared by Mr. Wang, which were packed in a small bamboo tube.

He can guarantee his own safety and health, but he cannot guarantee that of others.

If you get a scratch, a headache or a fever, this is a life-saving medicine.

In fact, he could just put these things in the warehouse to reduce the burden.

However, this is his livelihood and he cannot show it to others easily. He can only put it in a backpack to hide it from others.

Then he explained some taboos in the mountain, for example, one cannot act in private and must report any incidents.

Once you get on the mountain, you have to obey his orders and not disobey them, otherwise you will be responsible for any problems.

The most important thing is, let men come when there is danger, don’t rush to the front stupidly by yourself.

……

He talked a lot of things in a nagging manner. If Chen Ergou saw it, he would probably have something to say again. After all, when Zhang Yaoyang took him up the mountain, there was not much nonsense to say.

Xinghua listened very seriously. Since it concerned her own life, she had to treat it with caution.

After Zhang Yaoyang finished speaking, he gave Xinghua two bottles of liquor.

"This is some extra wine from our family. Let our brother have a taste. Please accept it, sister-in-law."

This was a sudden idea of ​​Zhang Yaoyang's. Chen Ergou's cousin was a man who loved wine, women, money and power. Thinking of what happened to his eldest brother, he almost died from drinking.

Humph! Since the other party likes it so much and doesn't want to divorce, then drink more!

He thought coldly in his heart.

However, Xinghua was a little hesitant to accept it and kept refusing it.

"Brother Yaoyang, I've already caused you trouble on this trip. How can I accept your gift again? This is inappropriate..."

Before Zhang Yaoyang could try to persuade her, his man had already pulled on his shoes, pushed open the door and ran over.

"It's perfect. This is absolutely perfect. Brother Yaoyang is sensible. He knows that this is what I like. Hahaha..."

As if he was afraid that the wine would be taken back, he pried open the bottle cap with his mouth and took a big gulp directly into his mouth.

This guy had obviously been lying behind the door, eavesdropping on the movements in the yard, so he was able to run out at the first possible moment.

"Ah... it's so refreshing. I have to drink the old grain wine from Cao's family in Shilipu to enjoy it!"

Zhang Yaoyang smiled and said, "This wine is not cheap. If you like it, I will buy it for you when I make money from hunting in the mountains!"

When Xinghua heard this, she became extremely anxious.

"That's not allowed. You can't drink too much..."

Naturally, her words made her man unhappy, and he pushed her away.

"You stinky bitch, you know nothing. If you dare not let me drink, I will break your legs."

His eyes were fierce. If Zhang Yaoyang had not been present, he would have beaten Xinghua up long ago.

Xinghua was anxious, but because of her man's murderous look, she could only silently shake her head at Zhang Yaoyang and wave her hands, signaling him not to send her any more wine.

Zhang Yaoyang pretended not to see it and reminded the bastard: "Brother, my sister-in-law is going up the mountain tomorrow. She is in danger and is risking her life for money. Let her rest early and stop working!"

The two winnowing baskets together took up half the size of the yard. It would take at least an hour to turn over all the mushrooms inside. It was inevitable that my back and waist would ache after such a long time.

Xinghua had never thought that there was someone in this world who could help her so much. She stood there for a while, feeling mixed emotions, touched but also a little uneasy.

She knew that she was beautiful, and the single men in the village would make sexual advances towards her from time to time, trying to take advantage of her.

Zhang Yaoyang, could he be that kind of person?

Going up the mountain with two men, would she...

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard her man's ruthless rebuttal.

"This little bit of work is nothing. My wife can do it! Just ignore her. If you need any dirty or tiring work in the future, just order her to do it. Hahahaha..."

The guy was quite proud of this and couldn't help but take another big gulp of wine.

It's useless to talk to this unreasonable guy. Zhang Yaoyang knew that he couldn't get involved anymore, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.

He has tried his best, and the rest is up to God!

The next morning, at the foot of the Shiwanda Mountains.

Zhang Yongshou drove a tractor to take the three of them to the foot of the mountain.

The father and son didn't know how they stood under the shade of the tree, nor what they said. Zhang Yaoyang kept explaining things for half an hour before letting his father drive the car back.

This trip will take them ten days in the mountains, and then the Zhang family will come back to pick them up.

Zhang Yaoyang spent quite a long time in the mountains this time, so his mother Liu Huifang prepared a lot of long-lasting oil cakes for the three of them, fearing that they would go hungry.

Chen Ergou was used to eating this and was not surprised by it. He took it happily and just kept saying that he was benefiting from Zhang Yaoyang and that he would be nice to his godmother Liu Huifang in the future.

Xinghua couldn't remember how long it had been since she had touched greasy or meaty food. To her, this pancake made of white flour was a very precious item. She felt heavily guilty and didn't dare to accept it.

She also brought dry food, but it was a pound of coarse unhusked wheat flour, which she fried in a pan until golden brown and ate with some water to satisfy her hunger.

In later generations, this thing is used as feed for livestock. If people eat it, it will make their throats uncomfortable. Apart from being a little difficult to digest, it is not inedible.

This is the greatest support Xinghua can get in her husband's family.

This was still the face given by his father-in-law. Of the two bottles of wine that Zhang Yaoyang brought, one went into the bastard's stomach, and the other naturally went into the mouth of this old man.

This family was too cruel. How could they feed people this kind of food? Perhaps, they didn't regard Xinghua as a human being at all. They enslaved her and made her work like a slave. What they wanted most was to make her work instead of eating.

Zhang Yaoyang grabbed the cloth bag without thinking and threw the wheat flour out.

"If you want to follow us into the mountains, you'll have to eat this. From now on, you'll have to eat whatever we eat, and you're not allowed to object."
