Chapter 3 My sister-in-law wants to go hunting together
"Brother Ye, go ahead and let me decorate the room." Jiang Ruo'an pushed Xu Ye.
Xu Ye nodded and followed Jiang Ruyue.
The two people walked into a room full of herbal smells, mixed with the smell of pine oil.
The pine oil lamp in the room gave off a soft light, and a skinny man lay on the bed.
He is Xu Ye's brother-in-law Li Dongming. He was originally a high-spirited and envied militia captain.
"Xiaoye, thank you for your hard work. From now on, my family will be supported by you."
"Your sister has suffered a lot in the past two years, but she is unwilling to remarry."
"I really don't deserve such a good woman. Fortunately, I have you."
"You will make this your home from now on. I don't have much time left. After I leave, everything here will be yours. I have written my will."
"My sister and my daughter are also left to you."
"I just have one request... Can you two stay out of this room and stay away from me? I know this is very selfish..."
After saying that, Li Dongming's tears fell down.
He could naturally smell the alcohol all over Xu Ye's body. He had borrowed the wine. It was also his idea to get Xu Ye drunk and have Jiang Ruyue come to his door.
"Okay, I promise brother-in-law, 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 make a statement to reassure everyone.
Jiang Ruyue pulled her hand back as if she was electrocuted.
She didn't expect that Xu Ye would be so bold as to hold her hand in front of Li Dongming.
She really wanted to say that tonight's matter didn't work out because Xu Ye agreed first.
But at this time, she couldn't speak no matter what.
He had thought about it on the way here, Li Dongming couldn't die yet.
The state has always provided assistance to Li Dongming, who is severely disabled.
He can apply for employment in some welfare factories. Those who are unable to find a job can apply to set up a stall as a hawker, and a special permit will be issued.
This is only available to the elderly and disabled. (Excerpted from "The Big Breakthrough: The Storm of the Private Economy in New China")
But it is not easy to apply, but since Li Dongming has this condition, Xu Ye will definitely give it a try.
If it happens, it will be of great benefit to Xu Ye.
Even if you exchange chicken feathers for candy, 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 knows it very well.
This is the advantage of the reborn, knowing all kinds of information.
It's just that I can't tell Li Dongming directly yet, for fear that it won't work out and everyone will be happy in vain.
So, Xu Ye pulled Jiang Ruyue and sat down beside the bed.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, you just don't have enough nutrition now. If you take good care of yourself, you won't have a problem living to your fifties or sixties."
"When you are free one day, I will make a wheelchair for you, and my sister can push you out to bask in the sun."
"And didn't the doctor say that you still have a chance to sit up in this condition?"
"Another day, I will ask Li Qing to learn acupuncture from a teacher. Once you have learned it, I will try it for you, just in case it works."
Xu Ye said this just to give him hope.
A person's desire to survive is very important. If there is no desire to survive, a situation like his will soon end.
Xu Ye hoped that he could hold on for a few more years until the wind changed.
At that time, there would be no need for the policy support Li Dongming fought for.
"Really, really?" Li Dongming choked up.
If he can move, he can do some manual work to help.
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 from now on. I won't let everyone go hungry."
With that said, Xu Ye directly pulled Jiang Ruyue towards the outside of the house.
"Sister, where are the hunting knives and shotguns at home? The moonlight is very bright at night, so I just go to the outskirts of the forest. Maybe I can get something."
"What?"
"You want to go hunting in the mountains?"
"No, this is absolutely not possible. It is impossible for you to hunt. This is how your brother-in-law hunts. You must not go again." Jiang Ruyue seemed to be stressed, her whole body was trembling.
Xu Ye immediately comforted him: "There is no other way. I can't support you with anything else."
"Do you want everyone to starve to death?"
"I won't touch those large beasts, so don't worry."
"At worst, if I die, you will die with me." With that said, Xu Ye took Jiang Ruyue's hand again.
"But..."
"Brother Ye, I've made the bed. Come and have a rest early." Jiang Ruo'an walked out of the next room.
Jiang Ruyue quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been shocked by electricity.
"No, I want to go for a walk in the mountains. The moonlight is suitable today and there are no dark clouds. It would be a pity not to go there."
Anyone who hunts knows that moonlit nights are a good time to hunt. Because animals are nocturnal, hunters can only see the road clearly under the moon.
Hunting at this time is more likely to encounter prey than during the day.
This is how Li Dongming taught Xu Ye before, and other hunters did the same.
"Brother-in-law, you can ask me to agree, but you have to let me go with you." Jiang Ruyue said with a determined look, carrying a shotgun on her back.
Looking at Jiang Ruyue with firm eyes, Xu Ye couldn't help but be stunned.
"I served in the militia, and my marksmanship is no worse than your brother-in-law."
Yes, the militiamen in this era were not just men, but women as well.
People who love red makeup love armed forces even more. Since before liberation, a group of outstanding women have taken up guns to protect their families and the country.
Jiang Ruyue is such a woman.
Xu Ye looked at Jiang Ruyue, rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, you and I will go hunting in the mountains."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Let Jiang Ruyue follow, and everyone can rest assured.
If Jiang Ruyue can hunt with her, does she still need others to help her?
Will a whole family starve to death?
In this way, people in the village will not feel that they are just asking for help, and no one will gossip!
What's more, it's not as simple as gossiping for him to come to help someone in this situation. Once he is labeled as having a relationship with a man and a woman, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
It doesn't matter if you close the door, but you must not let people think that he is here to help.
So taking Jiang Ruyue hunting is a complete matter of killing two birds with one stone!
Why didn't I think of doing this in my previous life?
Jiang Ruo'an's eyes turned red, knowing that her sister was worried about Xu Ye.
She took a deep breath, only hating that she couldn't shoot a gun and that she was blind and couldn't go hunting in the mountains with him.
Otherwise, she would have followed Xu Ye by herself.
She glanced at Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue'an, and said sensibly: "Be careful, I'll be waiting for you to return home with a full load."
Now that she has decided, she will not stand in the way of Xu Ye and will give him all her support.
Jiang Ruyue's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw Xu Ye agreed.
She had begged Li Dongming before, but Li Dongming said that she was a woman and should stay at home.
"I'll get the gun, you wait for me." After saying that, Jiang Ruyue turned around and went to get the gun.
After a while, she came back.
"Here." Jiang Ruyue handed the Hanyang made on her back to Xu Ye.
"I have been taking care of this gun, so you can use it with confidence." Jiang Ruyue said softly.
Xu Ye took the gun and pulled the bolt.
It's smooth and slippery, and it's really well maintained.
As a former female militiaman, it is not surprising that she can maintain her guns.
"Sister, you've wanted to go up the mountain for a long time, right?" Xu Ye couldn't help but ask after taking the bullet from Jiang Ruyue.
"Well, I went there a few times, but I didn't get much. Then I gave up the idea because I was afraid something would happen." Jiang Ruyue said truthfully.
After all, the Li family not only has Li Dongming, but also has a 14-year-old sister Li Qing, and a 6-year-old daughter Li Qian from his ex-wife.
Something is going to happen to her. 14-year-old Li Qing will never be able to support a family and support her brother and her niece.
"Daughter-in-law, you go to bed first, we will be back in a while."
"We took the hounds to the mountain, and I'm counting on you at home." With that said, 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.
"Yes, I'll get it for you." After saying that, Jiang Ruo'an went to the grocery store and got a backpack.
Xu Ye walked up to the hound and untied it directly.
"Black Tiger, how about going hunting with me?" Xu Ye rubbed the hound's head.
This black tiger is the leader dog dragged out by Li Dongming, and he is very capable.
It turns out that the Li family has four very good hunting dogs. That time Li Dongming lost three of them in an accident, and the black tiger's front leg was also bitten off.
If it weren't for the hounds fighting to protect each other, Li Dongming wouldn't have been able to hold on until other hunters arrived.
The black tiger has a keen sense of smell and is the best. It has the blood of wild wolves. It is a third-generation dog mixed with a pastoral dog and a wild wolf.
Therefore, many hunters are eyeing its bloodline, hoping to produce good hunting dogs.
The dogs bred with it are also famous hunting dogs from other villages.
Although a section of his leg was bitten off, he could still track his prey with his extraordinary sense of smell, so Xu Ye had 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 she is not pregnant, she will occasionally come back from the mountains with a pheasant or something to keep her family alive.
This time, it was paired with a white Sissy dog, and it was Xu Ye's match. 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 and hunt, it was naturally impossible for Black Tiger's litter of puppies to be sold, and he had to keep them for himself.
