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

Seeing Luo Ling's statement, Tian Xiaohui and Qian Jiali also quickly stood up.

"That's right, Brother Chen. Hunting in the mountains is dangerous, and it depends entirely on the weather. Even the old hunters in the village can't guarantee a good catch every day."

"There are four people in our family. We'd probably starve to death if we relied on hunting!"

"Ye Chen, how about this, you rest at home for two days, and we'll think of another way."

"Didn't you just say that the commune might be abolished at any time? The county is undergoing reforms now. If all else fails, we can go to the county to find work!"

In the eyes of the three women, going into the mountains to hunt was the most unreliable idea.

There's no guarantee of a minimum return; the risk is high.

But Ye Chen didn't think so.

In his previous life, after Ye Chen recovered, the three women left one after another, which motivated him to work hard.

But it doesn't matter. Without connections, I was forced to go into the mountains to hunt in the end!

At first, Ye Chen was risking his life.

Later, an old hunter became acquainted with him and became his apprentice, and his hunting skills improved dramatically.

It's no exaggeration to say that even though he's a time traveler, Ye Chen could walk out of the old forest behind Shuangshu Village with his eyes closed.

Ye Chen was extremely familiar with every plant and tree there, which was a unique advantage.

How could I possibly give up?

"I've made up my mind. I'll take the path of hunting. There's no room for discussion."

Ye Chen's attitude was firm, and he stated his position directly.

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the woodshed in the backyard.

Seeing Ye Chen's retreating figure, the three women looked flustered.

I originally thought Ye Chen had turned over a new leaf, but now it seems it was just a whim!

Relying on hunting for a living?

That's absolutely out of the ordinary!

Since birth, Ye Chen has probably only been into the old forest a few times, let alone hunted. It would be a luxury for him to come back alive.

In an instant, the expectations of the three were completely dashed.

In his mind, the image of Ye Chen returning severely injured, leaving the three of them helpless and alone, had already appeared.

"No, we can't let Ye Chen run wild!" Tian Xiaohui suddenly trembled and spoke up.

"If all else fails, I'll go to the team leader first thing tomorrow morning and plead with him to get Ye Chen a position in the commune, no matter what!"

"Xiaohui, if you go to the team leader now, isn't that like throwing good money after bad?"

Qian Jiali shook her head directly and said, "That captain is already incredibly lecherous. If you go to him, you're sure to lose your innocence."

"We can't just watch Ye Chen go to his death in the old forest!" Tian Xiaohui panicked and raised her voice.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiali and Luo Ling shook their heads, their faces showing helplessness.

For a moment, the three of them were at a loss.

They were counting on Ye Chen to support the family, but who would have thought that this guy was a complete madman!

Is it destined that Ye Chen is unreliable and will ultimately have to rely on three women?

"If all else fails, let's split up!"

Of the three, Qian Jiali was the most composed. After a moment of contemplation, she gave her instructions.

"Luo Ling and Xiao Hui, you two go dig for wild vegetables tomorrow. Ye Chen is going into the mountains to hunt, and he's destined to come up empty-handed on the first day. We need to plan this carefully."

"There's not much sorghum left at home. We'll dig up some wild vegetables to prepare for any eventuality. Leave the rest to me."

"Since we can't rely on Ye Chen, then the three of us will hold this family together. Women can hold up half the sky too!"

Qian Jiali had made up her mind that, at worst, she would go back to her old ways.

She learned medical skills from her father as she walked the streets and alleys since she was a child.

Today, with the reform of communes, private entrepreneurship is encouraged.

Then why not just open your own pharmacy!

With her own abilities and the help of her two sisters, she was able to support the family no matter what!

"Okay, Jiali, you always have so many ideas, I'll listen to you!"

"Sister Jiali, since we can't count on Ye Chen, let's do it together, the three of us! Just tell me if you need anything, and we'll definitely support you as your sisters!"

Luo Ling and Tian Xiaohui nodded immediately, feeling immense pride in their hearts.

Women hold up half the sky!

Men are completely unreliable!

……

In the woodshed.

Ye Chen took down the hunting rifle hanging on the wall.

He sat on the stool and reached out to stroke the gun.

"Old buddy, we're fighting side-by-side again!"

In his previous life, Ye Chen used this hunting rifle to kill the Wolf King and slaughter the Bear King.

They made a name for themselves through sheer hard work!

Later, they even organized villagers to go into the mountains to pick wild produce.

They transformed Shuangshu Village into a brand for mountain products, making a fortune from it.

"Since we have experience from our past lives, we can't afford to take the same detours this time."

Thinking of his past life, Ye Chen murmured to himself.

He put in a lot of hard work to learn how to hunt at first.

When they later got involved in the business of selling mountain products, they were already a step behind and encountered a lot of targeting.

Now that I've been given a second chance at life, I naturally need to prepare in advance.

"Tomorrow I'll head into the mountains to scout out the route and hunt a couple of pheasants to prove my skills."

"Otherwise, if wealth suddenly falls from the sky, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause."

Ye Chen had a wealth of experience in his previous life. It's no exaggeration to say that he knew exactly where the mountain treasures were in the old forest, and where ginseng and angelica were hidden.

But he understands the complexity of human nature, and that some things must be done step by step!

Nowadays, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a good-for-nothing.

If you suddenly go into the mountains and manage to catch a couple of pheasants by chance, that's fine. But if you dare to bring out ginseng and angelica in bulk, you'll probably be invited to the police station for a chat that very day.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to change outsiders' perceptions.

First, let the villagers get used to his identity as a hunter, then figure out a way to slowly turn those mountain treasures into money!

"Perfect timing! The commune hasn't been abolished yet, and the communal dining system is still in place. I'll take advantage of this time to fatten up the three women in my family first!"

Ye Chen made up his mind and immediately disassembled the hunting rifle in his hand into parts, wiped and oiled them, and carefully maintained them.

Tomorrow we'll be in the woods; these are our tools for making a living!

Whether you can save your life depends entirely on how careful you are in your daily life!

……

Early the next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Ye Chen had already gotten up and started a fire to cook.

"Ye Chen, you..."

The noise from the kitchen woke the three women, and seeing Ye Chen busy at work, the three of them stared wide-eyed.

"You're awake too? I'll cook some sorghum rice and make rice balls to take with me."

"Going hunting in the mountains could take a long time, so it's good to bring food just in case."

Ye Chen explained with a smile, but he already had a goal in mind.

In his past life, he once discovered a valley teeming with pheasants.

However, there are many mountain roads involved, and a round trip would take at least half a day.

Bringing rice balls is essential to replenish your energy.

"Then... then be careful. Even if you don't catch anything, at least make sure you stay safe!"

Tian Xiaohui frowned and could only offer her advice.

Watching Ye Chen pack up the rice balls and leave home with his hunting rifle on his back, I saw him.

The three women quickly got to work.

Tian Xiaohui and Luo Ling each carried a cloth bag and held a small hoe, preparing to dig for wild vegetables.

Qian Jiali carefully folded a note, stuffed it into her inner pocket, and then said goodbye to the two of them.

"I'm going to the county. I'll leave the task of foraging for wild vegetables to you two."

"I'll be back tonight. We can talk about it when we meet."
