Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

For the next few days, the house was peaceful.

Qian Jiali and Luo Ling went to the county town and worked in a pharmacy, only returning home once every three days.

With Tian Xiaohui newly appointed, she is working with even greater fervor.

He had just finished eating when he got home, so he opened the account book, lit a candle, and checked everything overnight.

Ye Chen was happy to have a peaceful life, going into the mountains every morning and returning home on time in the afternoon.

But every time, they manage to catch either pheasants or rabbits.

Over time, Ye Chen's reputation spread.

"Have you heard? That drunkard Ye Chen seems to have really turned over a new leaf. Now he goes hunting in the mountains every day, and he's really skilled!"

"I saw it too. They come back to the village every day, carrying pheasants and rabbits. They're even better than some old hunters!"

"Not only Ye Chen, but I heard his ex-wife Tian Xiaohui also got a job as the commune director. The whole family is really lucky!"

Many villagers were envious, and some older women had even started making plans.

Although Ye Chen has three women around him, they are all ex-wives. Now that they are so successful, and their daughter is still unmarried, could they be placed next to Ye Chen?

"Brother Ye, you're really diligent, going into the mountains to hunt every day. You must have quite a few pheasants and rabbits at home, right?"

That morning, Ye Chen, as usual, carried his hunting rifle to the edge of the old forest.

But they bumped into two familiar faces, the Li father and son.

Li Yan immediately stepped forward and waved to greet him with concern. Even Old Man Li nodded to Ye Chen for the first time ever.

"I'm just dabbling, nothing more than wild pheasants and rabbits. I cook them myself every day, and they're already in my stomach!"

Ye Chen smiled modestly, saying that nowadays, there is meat in every meal at home.

His originally thin body has become much stronger after being nourished in this way.

Even Tian Xiaohui, compared to her previous thin appearance, looks much fuller, with rosy cheeks, and looks even younger.

"Brother Ye Chen, I've come into the mountains with my father this time, planning to do a big deal. If it works out this time, perhaps we can cooperate next time!"

Li Yan took the initiative to speak, and while speaking, he looked at Ye Chen eagerly, as if seeking his opinion.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Old Man Li next to him did not say anything, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Such an invitation suggests that Li Yan was merely a lobbyist, and that it was clearly orchestrated secretly by Old Man Li.

Hunters forming teams with each other is a kind of tacit understanding, and they usually only invite each other when they encounter familiar acquaintances with whom they can share life and death.

It seems that the father and son hunters have clearly accepted him. However, Ye Chen has many secrets, and besides, he is not short of prey.

After a moment of silence, he finally declined.

"Thank you, Brother Li, but I'm not an ambitious person. I'm content with hunting pheasants and rabbits. I don't have the ability to do big business, so I won't trouble you any further!"

Last time I went into the mountains to dig for ginseng, I encountered that lone wolf.

Ye Chen had already made up his mind to avoid going deep into the old forest before the end of the year.

According to Ye Chen's memories from his previous life, before the end of the year, the lone wolf king had harmed many people.

If I act rashly and trespass into the wolf king's territory, there is a risk involved!

Anyway, things are back on track at home now, so we might as well wait until after the New Year to make any plans.

There's still time to go deep into the mountains to harvest local products next spring.

"That's a pity, Brother Ye Chen. But if you ever have any thoughts about this in the future, just let me know. You know where I live, and my dad and I will always welcome you!"

Li Yan shook his head, a regretful expression on his face.

However, he did not insist, but simply left a message.

After saying that, Li Yan followed Old Man Li and was about to go into the woods.

Just as the two figures were about to disappear, Ye Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke up to remind them.

"By the way, you'd better be careful this time you go into the mountains. I've seen the wolf king you mentioned last time; he's definitely not someone to mess with!"

"That beast is much bigger than the rumors say. Our hunting rifles might not be effective. If you cross Erniu Mountain again, try to take a detour!"

Ye Chen had a good impression of the Li family father and son, so he naturally had to warn them about the information regarding the Wolf King.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan was immediately taken aback.

On the contrary, Old Man Li waved to Ye Chen.

"Brother Ye, thank you very much!"

With that, Old Man Li grabbed Li Yan and plunged into the woods.

The two walked a hundred meters in one breath before Li Yan stopped and asked his father.

"Father, you heard what Brother Ye Chen said earlier. Isn't Erniu Mountain the only place we can pass through on this journey?"

"If you ask me, Brother Ye Chen is unlikely to lie. That wolf king is probably powerful. If it really comes down to it, let's not go this time!"

"No, you're not young anymore. If this deal goes through, I can build you a house when we get back, find you a wife, and we can live a good life together!"

Old Man Li frowned, but finally spoke.

"Fortune favors the bold; what reason should a hunter have to be afraid?"

"Besides, that Ganoderma lucidum can't wait. If it gets any colder, its medicinal properties will probably be greatly diminished. We must get it this time!"

The father and son found a Ganoderma lucidum on the way when they went into the mountains last time, but unfortunately the environment was too complicated to pick it.

The Ganoderma lucidum grew on the cliff, and the two of them did not carry any tools.

That's why I had to give up and prepare to harvest it on my next trip into the mountains!

Now, the father and son are carrying many ropes on their backs, all for that Ganoderma lucidum!

Old Man Li was focused on his son's future, so how could he possibly be scared off by the wolf king?

"Then...I'll listen to Dad and be careful. Everything should be alright!"

Li Yan frowned, but in the end he listened to his father's wishes.

The father and son quickened their pace and soon disappeared into the dense forest.

That afternoon, before the sun had even set, Ye Chen, carrying two pheasants and whistling, strolled to the village entrance.

After a few days of getting acquainted, the women chatting idly at the village entrance were no longer surprised by this scene.

She would glance at Ye Chen every now and then, her pupils clearly showing a hint of envy.

"This Ye Chen has really grown up; he catches a pheasant or a rabbit every day. Is it just good luck, or is he really skilled?"

"Have you guys noticed? Ye Chen has gained a lot of weight. Eating meat at every meal really does make him fatter!"

"If I were a few years younger, I would definitely date someone like Ye Chen. I wouldn't ask for anything else, just being able to eat my fill every day would be a blessing!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their voices filled with envy.

The conversation revealed that everyone had long forgotten that just a week ago, Ye Chen was still considered a good-for-nothing by everyone.

Now, however, it has transformed into something many people crave!

……

Outside the courtyard.

Ye Chen, familiar with the place, was about to push open the courtyard gate when he suddenly paused slightly.

The courtyard gate, which should have been tightly closed, is now wide open.

Tian Xiaohui hasn't gotten off work yet at this hour. Judging by the time, could it be that Qian Jiali and Luo Ling have returned?

"Perfect timing! The two of them are probably not getting much good food in town. Let's stew two pheasants tonight and give them a good nourishing meal!"

Ye Chen pondered this in his mind as he pushed open the courtyard gate.

Unexpectedly, there was another face in the courtyard besides Qian Jiali and Luo Ling!

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the young man Ye Chen had seen with Luo Ling at the guesthouse last time!
