Chapter 2: Wood Spiritual Root Awakening!
"I just said, in addition to apologizing, you have to compensate my brother!" Gu Mingzhu pointed at the scars on his brother's body and said, "You beat him like this, and you're done with just saying sorry!?"
Deng Hongmei frowned: "I've already beaten him, I can't turn back time to before he got beaten!"
"According to your logic, can I beat up your son as well, and then reluctantly say sorry and let it go?" Gu Mingzhu asked.
Deng Hongmei gave birth to two daughters and one son. The son is the youngest and is exactly the same age as Minghua.
She favors boys over girls and would never let her son suffer even a little.
When she heard Gu Mingzhu say she wanted to beat her son, she immediately became anxious, "Just try to hit Guodong, I won't let you go!"
Gu Mingzhu said: "You wronged my brother and beat him up like this. Now I just said that I would give him a taste of his own medicine, and you feel sorry for Guodong!?"
Many people also stood up to speak for Gu Mingzhu and her brother.
In front of so many people, Deng Hongmei was not in the right and did not dare to take action again, so she angrily asked Gu Mingzhu: "So what do you want!?"
"You slandered my brother for stealing fifty dollars from you, so now I'm asking you for fifty dollars as compensation. Isn't that too much?"
Deng Hongmei is a person who only wants to spend. Let alone fifty yuan, she would not even be willing to give five yuan!
"I hit you a few times and you want fifty bucks from me? You might as well just rob me!"
"You won't give it to me, right?" Gu Mingzhu was not in a hurry. "Then I'll call the captain and ask him to take my brother to the hospital for a check-up!"
"You will pay for the examination and treatment yourself!"
After saying this, Gu Mingzhu looked at everyone and said, "My dear uncles and aunts, she beat up my brother. Is it too much to ask her to pay for the medical expenses?"
Everyone nodded: "Of course!"
Deng Hongmei is not stupid either.
According to the current market situation, a visit to the hospital would cost at least 1,800 yuan.
She couldn't bear to spend fifty yuan, so how could she agree to pay for the medical expenses herself!
She gritted her teeth, took out fifty yuan from her wallet, and reluctantly put it into Gu Mingzhu's hand.
"Here! Fifty dollars! Keep it! I'll pay him back, and if he has any problems later, it has nothing to do with me!"
After saying this, she was about to leave again.
But Gu Mingzhu still stopped her.
When Deng Hongmei saw her attitude, she gritted her teeth and said, "I've apologized and compensated you, what else do you want!?"
"Aunt, that's the end of you beating my brother." Gu Mingzhu said word by word, "But the accounts between our two families have not been settled yet!"
Deng Hongmei pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth. "I don't know what you are talking about!"
She played dumb, but Gu Mingzhu was not in a hurry.
She first asked Minghua to go back to the house and take out the land certificates, and then she said in front of everyone: "After my parents left, you took advantage of my illness and occupied my two acres of dry land and sixteen acres of orchard!"
At that time, the original owner was seriously ill and Gu Minghua was young, so they were no match for her.
But Gu Mingzhu is no pushover.
She said directly: "I will give you three days to restore the land to its original state. After three days, I will ask the team leader and the village chief to measure the land!"
"If my family still doesn't have enough land by then, don't blame me for not respecting my elders."
After paying fifty yuan in compensation, Deng Hongmei felt extremely painful.
Now, when she heard what Gu Mingzhu said, her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all ached!
That was the land she had acquired with great difficulty!
But with so many people watching, she had no choice but to return it.
She gritted her teeth and reluctantly said "I understand", then pushed Gu Mingzhu away and ran away.
This time, Gu Mingzhu did not stop her, but thanked everyone and then pulled her brother into the house.
She searched the house but couldn't find any thick clothes for the little one.
A bad guess popped up in her mind: "Where are your clothes? Were they also taken away by their family!?"
Seeing that his sister looked unhappy, Gu Minghua said hastily, "No, I sold it myself..."
"Sold it!?" Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, "Why sell it?"
The little guy lowered his head and scratched his skinny little hands, "There is no money at home. I can't take my sister to the hospital for treatment. I can only sell things to buy medicine for you."
But he can't sell his sister's!
My sister is still sick, she can't be hungry or cold.
I can only sell my own.
When Gu Mingzhu heard this, she felt as if her heart was being pulled by someone and it ached constantly.
She placed the little guy on the stool with heartache, and found a piece of thick clothes and thick socks that belonged to the original owner and put them on him carefully.
Then he rummaged through the drawers and found a tube of ointment, which he carefully applied on his wound.
She said softly, "Stay at home for the next few days and don't go out to dig wild vegetables. I'll find a way to deal with the money issue."
The little guy sat on the stool, staring at his sister applying ointment on him with his two big eyes like black grapes, not daring to even blink.
Seeing him looking at her like this, Gu Mingzhu said, "Is there something wrong with my face?"
"Sister, I think you are different from before." Gu Minghua said.
My sister used to be very gentle and would take a detour when she saw my aunt.
But now, even the aunt can't bully her!
Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu paused in applying medicine to him.
She said to Gu Minghua seriously: "Brother, we can't let others bully us like before."
As the saying goes, a good man is often bullied and a good horse is often ridden.
The two of them had lost their parents. Although their uncle Gu Shan was nice to them, Deng Hongmei was a violent and overbearing person.
If the two of them hadn't been tough, they might not even be able to keep the house, let alone the land.
Although Gu Minghua didn't know why his sister had changed so much.
But he also felt that his sister was right.
Gu Mingzhu applied the medicine to him, then carried him to the bed and let him lie under the quilt to keep warm. "You should recover first!"
"When you feel better, go back to school and leave the housework to me!"
"But sister, you have just recovered from your illness..." Gu Minghua was worried.
Gu Mingzhu patted his head and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You take a rest, I'll clean up the house first."
While cleaning the house, Gu Mingzhu also took inventory of all the valuable things in the house.
When my parents were sick, we sold almost everything that could be sold, including the refrigerator, TV, washing machine, computer, and air conditioner.
After the original owner fell ill, Gu Minghua was reluctant to sell his sister's things, so he sold most of his own things as well.
Now, there is basically no furniture in this house except for a dining table, two beds and a few stools.
The only valuable items were the old mobile phone that had been used for several years and the old electric tricycle parked in the utility room next door.
Oh no, there is also the jade bracelet that Gu Mingzhu is wearing on her hand.
The bracelet isn't in very good condition, but it can at least be exchanged for around ten thousand dollars.
If a mobile phone can be used, then an electric tricycle can also be used, but neither can be sold.
After much thought, Gu Mingzhu decided to go to the city tomorrow to sell the bracelet.
Not to mention that Deng Hongmei hasn't returned the land yet, even if she did, she wouldn't give half of the output from the land to her family.
Besides, Minghua's hands and feet were covered with frostbite, so she couldn't let him go digging wild vegetables.
The brother and sister only have a few dozen yuan in their hands. According to the current price, these few dozen yuan are not enough for them to live for a day!
If they don't sell this bracelet, they will really starve!
[Farming system started]
[The host's wood spiritual root attribute awakens, you get what you sow]
A mechanical voice sounded in his mind, and Gu Mingzhu was stunned.
Could it be that she was too anxious and was hallucinating?
Or is it because it's too cold and I'm hallucinating? ?
Or maybe the original owner hadn't eaten for too long and was starving! ?
