Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"What?"

"Did I hear that right?!"

"Working in the city, in a state-run restaurant..."

"So, both Old Liu and his wife have moved to the city to work?"

"My God, if you can work in the city, who would want to raise cattle?!"

For a time, the surrounding villagers were talking about it, and Chang Kun could no longer hear what his aunt was saying.

Auntie just stared blankly at Chang Kun, her lips trembling as she couldn't speak, the light envelope in her hand feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Xiao Shui reacted quickly, staring wide-eyed at Chang Kun: "Big brother, does that mean my mother can go to work in the city? Does that mean I can go to the city too?"

She had stayed in the city for several days but had never seen a monkey show, and she kept thinking about it.

Chang Kun smiled and nodded: "Sure, you can stay in the city as long as you want now. Anyway, your mother's workplace is very close to our house, so she can visit you in just a few steps."

"Wow! Great! I'm going into town again!!"

Amidst Xiao Shui's cheers, her aunt snapped out of her daze. The envelope in her hand felt like it was burning her, and she shoved it back at Chang Kun, saying, "Xiao Kun, this won't do! This is too valuable! You...you should return it!"

Liu Meilin, the head of the household, had already received a great favor from Chang Kun, who helped her find a good job. That was due to the bond between uncle and nephew. Now, he was helping her find another job, which made her feel truly indebted.

The surrounding villagers all gasped in shock. This was a golden opportunity to go to the city! Had Fan Erxiao lost his mind? How could he turn down such a good thing!

Fanning himself with the envelope, Chang Kun chuckled twice: "Auntie, even if you don't want it, they can't return it. It's just void..."

The surrounding villagers gritted their teeth, their eyes bloodshot. "Damn it, if Fan Erxiao doesn't want it, give it to me! Why cancel his job in the city? This young man's got a serious problem with his head!"

"That won't do! Well... Xiaomei at home doesn't have a job yet, so it's perfect for her to go!" Auntie thought for a moment and realized that since Changmei didn't have a job, it would be better to give her the job than to give it to her.

"Auntie, my eldest sister is still breastfeeding her baby and can't go to work right now. So tell me if you want this job or not. If you really don't want it, they might cancel it if I take it back."

Auntie hesitantly took the envelope, her eyes red: "Xiao Kun, what can I say to you, child!"

"Alright, Auntie, let's talk about this at home. It'll be dark soon."

"Hey, let's go home. My nephew is hungry too. We have so many pheasants, let's cook one and eat it, and you can take the rest home."

Chang Kun shook his head helplessly. In this day and age, people's habit of thrift is almost ingrained in their bones. Even if they hunt five pheasants, they are reluctant to eat more and only want to keep them to exchange for money.

"Aunt, let's give the big yellow ox to someone else then. We're not going to raise it anymore."

Aunt lowered her head and thought for a moment, then reached out and stroked the back of the big yellow ox twice, still feeling a little reluctant to part with it.

Amid the expectant gazes of the surrounding villagers, she spoke up: "This big yellow ox was raised by my husband, Lao Liu, from a calf to adulthood, giving the village such a large animal. Later, the village let me continue raising it. Do you have any objections to this?"

The surrounding villagers fell silent. What Fan Erxiao said was indeed the truth, and they couldn't refute it. They couldn't just let someone else take over after raising him. They all lived in the same village, and some things couldn't be done too ugly.

Moreover, now that Fan Erxiao will soon be able to work in the city, the big yellow ox will definitely have to be left in the village for someone else to raise. So now we should go along with her wishes and see if we can get the job of raising the ox into our own hands.

"So it's perfectly reasonable for me to raise cattle, right?" Auntie glanced at the surrounding villagers. If she went to work in the city, she wouldn't be able to raise cattle anymore, but she still had to make the reasons clear.

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right..."

The surrounding villagers echoed this sentiment.

"Alright! I'll hand over the ox now, and don't let me hear anyone gossiping about it again!" Fan Erxiao beckoned to a middle-aged peasant woman in the crowd, "Aunt Zhang, you take the ox!"

Aunt Zhang was the same farmer who had previously tried to stop Xiao Shui from going into the mountains at the village entrance. Hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she walked forward with a big smile, taking the nose ring of the big yellow ox.

Fan Erxiao whispered in her ear, "Hurry up and have your husband take some things to the brigade leader, and try to get this cattle-raising matter settled."

The two women were considered close friends in the village. They could give the big yellow ox to either of them, but Fan Erxiao would definitely choose the one she was closer to.

Aunt Zhang was also shrewd; she turned around, exchanged a glance with Fan Erxiao, and nodded slightly.

Many villagers around sighed, secretly regretting that they weren't thick-skinned enough to go and take the big yellow ox sooner.

If we bring the cow home first, maybe the job of raising the cow will fall to us.

My aunt, carrying wild eggs in one hand and several pheasants in the other, led the way home.

Xiao Shui held Chang Kun's hand and hopped around, asking him to tell her stories about hunting pheasants and collecting wild eggs in the mountains.

Behind them, the other villagers still lingered, expressing their feelings repeatedly.

"Wow! Liu Meilin's family is so lucky! One man went to work in the city, and now women can go too!"

"It's all because they have a good nephew, tsk tsk!"

"That's right. My nephew only brings one mouth when he comes to my house. He always eats a lot. I don't even want him to come over anymore."

"Do you really think there are tigers in the mountains?"

The burly men from the mountains had spent half a day working on the project but hadn't gotten anything out of it, not even a single wild egg. Hearing this, they retorted irritably, "Really? Didn't you see the paw prints on the cow's rump? What else could it be but a tiger!"

"Do you think tigers are valuable? If we could kill a tiger, could we get a job in the city?"

"Hunting tigers, and getting a new job?" The burly man's eyes lit up. He glanced back at the other villagers with guns. If he could find a few more people to go hunting tigers in the mountains, he might actually be able to get a job in the city!

"Come on, let's go to my house and have a drink of water..." He called to a few people who had gone into the mountains with him before, wanting to discuss how to hunt tigers.

These people have never even hunted wolves before, yet they're thinking of hunting tigers to get a job. It just goes to show that ignorance is bliss!

Tigers are swift as the wind; ordinary people don't even have a chance to aim before being pounced on and killed. If Chang Kun didn't have the skill to hit the target with a single blow, he wouldn't have been able to kill the tiger so easily.

What the burly man and the others didn't know was that the tiger was lying in Chang Kun's space at this moment. The surrounding mountains were no longer occupied by tigers. They were just full of fantasies about how glamorous it would be to work in the city in the future.

As the group walked away, the remaining villagers curled their lip, thinking, "So what if they have guns!"

Four or five people went into the mountains for half a day and didn't even find a wild egg. They even dared to dream of fighting a tiger. They were lucky not to be eaten by the tiger!
