"Aunt, why are you angry?" Gu Mingzhu looked innocent.
"I'm telling the truth, and I don't mean anything else! Or is it that my aunt is really like those black-hearted people, and really intends to take away our land and our house?"
Seeing that she was almost pointing at her nose and scolding her, Deng Hongmei was so angry that her hands were shaking: "You are such a jerk, Gu Mingzhu!"
"When your parents died, I was busy running around! When you were sick, I provided Minghua with food and clothes. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you still say I'm a black-hearted person!?"
"I really have to teach you a lesson today!"
As she said this, she wanted to slap Gu Mingzhu.
But Gu Mingzhu was not a fool. How could she just let herself be beaten like this?
As soon as Deng Hongmei reached out her hand, she moved a few steps to the side.
The weather was cold to begin with, and it even rained a little last night. Some rotten vegetable leaves on the ground had frozen over and haven't melted yet.
As soon as Gu Mingzhu moved, Deng Hongmei subconsciously chased after her.
As she chased after him, she stepped on some rotten vegetable leaves!
Her feet slipped and she fell forward.
Falling was no big deal, the problem was that her teeth happened to hit the boundary stone between two fields!
With this knock, half of my two upper front teeth were broken!
Everyone present was stunned when they saw that she failed to hit Gu Mingzhu and even knocked her front teeth.
Deng Hongmei didn't feel any pain at first, and since there was no bleeding, she didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her like that, she became unhappy. "Look! What are you looking at——"
After she had said a few words, she felt that there was something wrong with her speech.
When she touched it with her hand, her eyes widened!
She touched her front teeth and looked at the ground.
Seeing two broken teeth falling right in front of her, she picked up the hoe and hit Gu Mingzhu.
"Gu Mingzhu! You bitch!"
"I have to fight you today!"
Gu Mingzhu dodged while shouting, "Aunt, you fell down by yourself. I didn't push you or hit you. You can't blame me!"
When the people around saw that Deng Hongmei was using a hoe, they were afraid that something might happen, so they came over to stop her.
After finally snatching the hoe from her hand, they said again, "Hongmei, this matter really has nothing to do with your niece."
"She really didn't fight with you. You just fell on the boundary stone by accident. She didn't mean to do that!"
"That's right! If you really hit her with the hoe, it would be fatal!"
Deng Hongmei was furious when she heard this, "So, it's my own fault that I fell like this!?"
No one dared to nod when they heard this, but no one helped her blame Gu Mingzhu.
Everyone can see that after Gu Mingzhu fell ill, she became a completely different person.
She would find ways to get angry with anyone who bullied her.
Even if they are relatives, she will not let them go.
Everyone just wants to watch the fun and doesn't want to get into trouble.
Seeing that none of them spoke up for her, Deng Hongmei pushed them away and said, "Get out of here! I don't need your fake kindness!"
Then she glared at Gu Mingzhu fiercely, "You ungrateful bastard! Just wait! I won't let this go!"
After saying that, she covered her mouth and went home.
As soon as Deng Hongmei left, those who were watching the fun also dispersed.
The only one left was Aunt Wang who lived behind Gu Mingzhu's house.
Her maiden family is from the same village as the original owner's mother's.
The two of them married and moved to Baisha Village together, and have been helping each other over the years.
After Gu Hai and his wife died, she would occasionally send food to Gu Mingzhu and her brother.
But her family is even more difficult than Gu Mingzhu's.
Her husband is sick, her two daughters are in high school, her parents-in-law favor her younger brother-in-law and dislike the fact that she only gave birth to daughters. They know her family is in a difficult situation, but they are unwilling to help even once.
She relies on the two acres of land at home to grow vegetables and support her family.
After she came over, she lowered her voice and said to Gu Mingzhu, "Your aunt is always difficult to get along with. If someone says something to her, she will chase after them and scold them for half a month."
"Now that she has suffered twice at your hands, she will definitely not let it go."
Gu Mingzhu knew that Aunt Wang usually took good care of the original owner's siblings.
She said to Aunt Wang, "I understand what you mean. I used to think that she was the elder of the family, and I was afraid that I couldn't raise my brother by myself, so I endured everything."
"But you saw it too. The more I endured, the more she pushed me."
Which piece of land in the family was not taken away by Deng Hongmei?
Aunt Wang has no blood relationship with the Gu family, and her family is extremely poor, but even so, she sent taro and vegetables to Minghua when he was hungry!
But what did Deng Hongmei do?
When my uncle wanted to give his family some cabbage, Deng Hongmei would scold him for the whole afternoon!
"Minghua sold all his good clothes to earn money to buy medicine for me!" Gu Mingzhu's eyes were red as she spoke. "It was freezing cold, and he had layers of chilblains on his hands. Even an adult would feel itchy, let alone a half-grown child!"
"Not only did she occupy our land, she also slandered Minghua for stealing her money! Beat Minghua to death!"
"She did something wrong herself, and she still dares to frame me everywhere? If I tolerate it, she will go even further in the future! So, aunt, I won't tolerate it!"
"If she dares to do anything to my family, I will pay her back tenfold or a hundredfold!"
When Gu Mingzhu said these words, she deliberately raised her voice.
She just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
If anyone dared to bully her family in the future, she would fight to the death!
After hearing this, Aunt Wang patted her on the back several times.
When she calmed down, Aunt Wang asked, "What are your plans now? Do you really want to stay at home and farm?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Wang sighed, "Vegetable prices are good now, but the weather is getting colder. Those of us who have been farming for decades feel that it is getting more and more difficult..."
"How can you, a little girl who just graduated from college, grow crops well?"
"In my opinion, you should go to the city and find a job. It's better than staying at home and farming."
Gu Mingzhu shook her head. "If I go out to work, Minghua will be alone at home. I am worried."
"But it's not easy to rely on farming alone!" Aunt Wang herself is an experienced person and she knows the hardships of farming.
She also didn't want Gu Mingzhu to follow her old path.
Seeing that she was really worried about her, Gu Mingzhu told her her plan truthfully, "Aunt, I want to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables."
"Although I don't have enough money right now, I found a job at a wholesale point. With the money I make from collecting and selling vegetables, I should be able to build a greenhouse within a month."
In fact, she has enough money now.
But the construction of this greenhouse has to be delayed for some time, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.
When Aunt Wang heard that she wanted to build a greenhouse, she not only did not stop her, but also said directly: "Mingzhu, if you want to build a greenhouse, do it now! My brother from my mother's family builds greenhouses for people. You can buy it on credit first, and I will guarantee it for you."
Gu Mingzhu was stunned when she heard this, "Aunt, why did you change your mind so quickly?"
Didn't you just ask yourself to go to the city to find a job?
