Chapter 3 My sister-in-law wants to go hunting together
"Brother Ye, you go ahead. I'll decorate the room." Jiang Ruoan pushed Xu Ye.

Xu Ye nodded and followed Jiang Ruyue.

The two men walked into a room filled with the smell of herbs, mixed with the smell of pine oil.

The pine oil lamp in the room emitted a soft light, and a skinny man was lying on the bed.

He is Xu Ye’s brother-in-law Li Dongming, who was originally a high-spirited and envied militia captain.

"Xiaoye, thank you for your hard work. From now on, my whole family will depend on you for support."

"Your sister has suffered a lot in the past two years, but she is unwilling to remarry no matter what."

"I really don't deserve such a good woman. Fortunately, I have you."

"You will be the master of this place from now on. I don't have much time left. After I'm gone, everything here will be yours. I have already written my will."

"My sister and my daughter are also handed over to you."

"I just have one request... Can you two stay out of this room, stay out of my way, I know this is very selfish..."

After saying this, Li Dongming's tears rolled down.

Of course he could smell the alcohol on Xu Ye. He was the one who borrowed the wine, and it was also his idea to get Xu Ye drunk and then have Jiang Ruyue come over.

"Okay, I promise my brother-in-law that I will help you take care of them in the future." Xu Ye stepped forward and held Jiang Ruyue's hand.

At this time he must express his stance to reassure everyone.

Jiang Ruyue pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

She didn't expect that Xu Ye would be so bold as to pull her hand in front of Li Dongming.

She really wanted to say that what happened tonight didn’t happen because Xu Ye agreed first.

But at this time, she couldn't speak no matter what.

He thought about it on the way here and decided that Li Dongming could not die now.

The country has always provided assistance to people with severe disabilities like Li Dongming.

He can apply for employment in some welfare factories. If he cannot find a job, he can apply to set up a stall and work as a hawker, and he will be issued a special permit.

Only the elderly and disabled can do this. (Excerpt from "The Great Breakthrough: Chronicles of the Private Economy in New China")
But it is not easy to apply for it. However, since Li Dongming has the qualifications, Xu Ye will definitely give it a try.

If it succeeds, it will also be of great benefit to Xu Ye.

Even if you just trade chicken feathers for sugar, you can still make a lot of money.

Ordinary people have no chance to get such an opportunity, but Li Dongming has it.

Xu Ye didn’t know about this situation in his previous life, but now he is very clear about it.

This is the advantage of being reborn, knowing all kinds of information.

But I can’t tell Li Dongming directly, for fear that if it doesn’t work, everyone will be happy for nothing.

So Xu Ye pulled Jiang Ruyue to sit down beside the bed.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. You just don't have enough nutrition now. If you take good care of yourself, you can live to be fifty or sixty years old."

"When I have time someday, I'll make you a wheelchair so my sister can push you out to get some sun."

"And didn't the doctor say that you still have a chance to sit up in your condition?"

"I'll let Li Qing learn acupuncture from a master some other day. I'll give it to you to try after she's done. What if it works?"

Xu Ye said this just to give him hope.

A person's desire to survive is very important. If he doesn't have it, he will die very quickly in a situation like his.

Xu Ye hopes that he can hold on for a few more years until the wind turns for the better.

At that time, there would be no need for the policy support that Li Dongming was striving for.

"Really? Is it true?" Li Dongming choked up.

If he could move, he could do some manual work to help out.

Who wants to die if he can live?

"Of course, brother-in-law, don't worry. You don't have to worry about things at home anymore. I'm here and I won't let anyone go hungry."

Having said that, Xu Ye directly pulled Jiang Ruyue out of the house.

"Sister, where are the hunting knives and rifles at home? The moonlight is bright at night, so it's a good time to go to the outskirts of the forest and take a look. Maybe we can get something."

"what?"

"You want to go hunting in the mountains?"

"No, this is absolutely not possible. You can't go hunting. Your brother-in-law hunts like this. You must never go again." Jiang Ruyue seemed to be stressed and her whole body was shaking.

Xu Ye immediately comforted him, "There is no other way. I can't support you by any other means."

"Are we going to starve to death?"

"I won't touch those large beasts, don't worry."

"At worst, I'll die, and you can die with me." As he said that, Xu Ye grabbed Jiang Ruyue's hand again.

"But……"

"Brother Ye, I have made the bed. Come and rest early." Jiang Ruoan walked out from the next room.

Jiang Ruyue pulled her hand back quickly as if she had been electrocuted.

"No, I want to go for a walk in the mountains. The moonlight is just right today, and there aren't many dark clouds. It would be a shame not to go for a walk."

Hunters know that moonlit nights are the best time to hunt, because animals are active at night and hunters can only see the road clearly under the moon.

It is easier to encounter prey when hunting at this time than during the day.

This is what Li Dongming taught Xu Ye before, and other hunters do the same.

"Brother-in-law, you can make me agree, but you have to let me go with you." Jiang Ruyue said with a determined look, carrying a hunting rifle on her back.

Looking at Jiang Ruyue's determined gaze, Xu Ye was stunned.

"I've been in the militia, and my marksmanship is no worse than your brother-in-law's."

Yes, in this era, militiamen are not just men, but also women.

They love makeup and weapons even more. Since before liberation, a group of outstanding women have taken up arms to defend their country.

Jiang Ruyue is such a woman.

Xu Ye looked at Jiang Ruyue, his eyes turned, and he nodded, "Okay, you and I will go hunting in the mountains."

Let Jiang Ruyue follow, and everyone can feel at ease.

If Jiang Ruyue can go hunting with us, does she still need others to help her?

Will the whole family starve to death?
In this way, the villagers will not feel that they are asking for help, and no one will gossip about them!
What's more, in his case, going to someone's house to solicit gang members is not as simple as gossiping. Once he is accused of having an affair, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die.

It doesn't matter what happens behind closed doors, but one must not let people outside think that he is trying to gang up on them.

Therefore, taking Jiang Ruyue hunting is a win-win situation!

Why didn’t I think of doing this in my previous life?

Jiang Ruoan's eyes turned red, knowing that her sister was worried about Xu Ye.

She took a deep breath and hated herself for not being able to shoot a gun and for being blind, so she couldn't go into the mountains to hunt.

Otherwise, she would have followed Xu Ye by herself.

She glanced at Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyuean, and said sensibly, "Be careful. I'll be waiting for you at home to return with a full load."

Now that she has made the decision, she will not obstruct Xu Ye and will give him her full support.

When Jiang Ruyue saw Xu Ye agreed, her eyes lit up.

She had begged Li Dongming before, but Li Dongming said that she was a woman and should stay at home.

"I'll go get the gun, wait for me." Jiang Ruyue turned around and went to get the gun.

After a while, she came back.

"Here." Jiang Ruyue handed the Hanyang-made rifle on her back to Xu Ye.

"I have been maintaining this gun, so you can use it with confidence." Jiang Ruyue said softly.

Xu Ye took the gun and pulled the bolt.

Very smooth and slippery, and indeed well maintained.

As a former female militia member, it is not surprising that she knows how to maintain guns.

"Sister, you have wanted to go up the mountain for a long time, right?" Xu Ye asked after taking the bullet handed to him by Jiang Ruyue.

"Well, I went there a few times, but didn't gain anything. Later, I gave up the idea because I was afraid something might happen." Jiang Ruyue said truthfully.

After all, the Li family not only has Li Dongming, but also a 14-year-old sister Li Qing, and a 6-year-old daughter Li Qian left by his ex-wife.

Something was going to happen to her. The 14-year-old Li Qing definitely could not support a family or feed her brother and niece.

"Wife, go to bed first, we'll be back in a while."

"We have taken the hunting dogs to the mountains. You are the one taking care of the family." As he said that, Xu Ye walked outside with his gun on his back.

"Sister, do you have a backpack?" Xu Ye turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ruyue who was following him.

"Yes, I'll get it for you." Jiang Ruoan went to the grocery room and got a backpack.

Xu Ye walked up to the hound and untied its rope directly.

"Black Tiger, how about going hunting with me?" Xu Ye rubbed the hound's head.

This Black Tiger is the lead dog brought out by Li Dongming, and he is very capable.

It turned out that the Li family had four very good hunting dogs. Three of them were lost when Li Dongming had the accident, and Black Tiger's front leg was also bitten off.

If it weren't for the hunting dogs fighting to the death to protect him, Li Dongming would never have survived until the other hunters arrived.

Black Tiger has a keen sense of smell, which is excellent. He has wild wolf blood in his body and is a third-generation hybrid of a pastoral dog and a wild wolf.

Therefore, many hunters are eyeing its bloodline, hoping to produce a good hunting dog.

The hunting dogs that bred it were all famous hunting dogs from other villages.

Although one of its legs was bitten off, it can still track prey with its extraordinary sense of smell, so Xu Ye has to carry it into the mountains.

And there are already puppies in its belly. This is the only way the Li family can make money.

When it was not pregnant, it would occasionally bring back a pheasant or something from the mountains to sustain its family.

This time, it was paired with a white Xiasi dog, which was also introduced by Xu Ye, and he needed to give the other party a puppy in return.

The rest can be sold to other hunters.

However, since Xu Ye was going to carry a gun to go hunting, it was impossible for him to sell Hei Hu's litter of puppies. He had to keep them for himself.
