Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 The Lion's Mouth

Gu Shan, who was in the room, heard these words and walked out quickly.

He looked at Gu Mingzhu with a worried look on his face: "Mingzhu, are you really..."

He couldn't say the rest of the words.

But the worry in his eyes was real.

Gu Mingzhu didn't answer him, but stared at Deng Hongmei's mouth without blinking.

When Deng Hongmei saw her looking at her like that, she remembered what happened yesterday.

She said angrily: "Why are you staring at me? Have you never seen someone with missing teeth?!"

Gu Mingzhu said calmly: "Aunt, I think the reason why you knocked out your two upper front teeth is because you talked nonsense yesterday."

"You should learn from your mistakes and stop talking nonsense. Otherwise, if you knock your teeth again one day, you might lose your lower front teeth."

Deng Hongmei glared at him, "When did I say anything nonsense!?"

"Aunt, not only do you have a problem of talking nonsense, you also have a bad memory." Gu Mingzhu looked concerned about her, "You just made up a story that I was making dirty money outside, but now you've forgotten it."

"Uncle, my aunt has a lot of problems. How about you take her to the hospital for a full-body checkup someday?"

Gu Mingzhu is good at making people angry, and his ability to manipulate the Yin and Yang world is first-rate.

Deng Hongmei gnashed her teeth when she heard her say that!

Gu Shan also understood what Gu Mingzhu meant, so he quickly laughed it off, "Mingzhu, your aunt is just worried that you've been cheated, don't take it to heart."

But when it comes to taking out a loan to build a greenhouse, he is still somewhat worried.

"Mingzhu, you have no experience in farming. You borrowed so much money from the bank to build a greenhouse. Aren't you afraid of losing money?!"

Gu Mingzhu knew that Gu Shan was truly kind to her and her siblings.

But Deng Hongmei has the final say in the first wife's affairs, so he can't help even if he wants to.

When talking to Deng Hongmei, she was very ambivalent.

But when she spoke to Gu Shan, her tone was much better, "Uncle, my family is in this situation now, so we have to fight hard. But don't worry, I know my limits."

Deng Hongmei couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. "This can't be achieved by being sensible! Besides, you're a freshly graduated college student. You can't even hold a hoe properly. How can you build a greenhouse?"

"But since you have already decided to do it, why not just let your uncle help you!" Deng Hongmei changed the subject and started to make plans. "When the time comes, we can split the profits 50-50 between the two families."

Fifty-fifty?

Haha…

Gu Mingzhu knew that she wanted to take advantage, but she didn't know that her appetite was so big!

Aunt Wang and her brother helped her so much, but they only dared to ask for the right to cultivate one acre of land.

She was just good at this. She asked for 50% of the profits as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing that Gu Mingzhu didn't say anything, Deng Hongmei swallowed her saliva and continued, "Mingzhu, don't worry, I won't give you this 50% profit for nothing!"

"When the time comes, your uncle and I will help you build a greenhouse, grow vegetables, and sell them—"

"No need." Gu Mingzhu was too lazy to listen to her nonsense.

She looked at Gu Shan and said, "Uncle, I have already decided on the person who will build the greenhouse. This time we will build eight acres of land, four acres of arable land and four acres of orchard."

"Growing vegetables isn't that difficult. There are many good vegetable growers in our team. If I come across something I don't understand, I can just be nice and ask people."

Deng Hongmei was about to open her mouth to refute, but Gu Shan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, if you don't understand, just ask."

"Mingzhu, since you have made up your mind, then just give it a try! If you are too busy, just tell uncle and he will give you a hand."

Gu Mingzhu said yes, and then said, "Uncle, please harvest the vegetables in the field early, otherwise the workers will come to the greenhouse tomorrow to trample them and damage them."

After saying this, she turned and left, not giving Deng Hongmei a chance to speak.

When Deng Hongmei saw her like this, she became even more angry.

After Gu Mingzhu left, she could only vent her anger on Gu Shan, "Will you die if you don't speak? You even helped him. He's rich now, who would recognize you as their uncle?"

Gu Shan is afraid of her.

But he couldn't stand her being so mean, "The second brother and his wife are gone, can't you be nicer to them?"

"She's made me like this! How can I be nice to her?" Deng Hongmei pointed at her mouth. "Besides, she spoke to me in a sarcastic tone. How can she act like a junior?"

"If you hadn't been so ruthless, she wouldn't have been so sarcastic to you..." Gu Shan said in a low voice.

Seeing that he was determined to go to Gu Mingzhu, Deng Hongmei kicked him, "Get lost! I get annoyed when I see you!"

That afternoon, Deng Hongmei's family of five harvested all the vegetables from the field.

When Aunt Wang found out about this, she couldn't suppress her smile.

While she was knitting sweaters for her two daughters, she said to Gu Mingzhu who was having dinner, "I originally thought she would not return the land..."

Gu Mingzhu didn't expect Deng Hongmei to be so quick.

But it's a good thing this way, Wang Yishen can build a greenhouse directly tomorrow!

And when she went to the small supermarket to buy vegetables in the afternoon, the system planted three acres of lettuce in the space.

She also made an agreement with Boss Zhang and Fatty that she could deliver food to them both tomorrow.

A family eats 1,000 kilograms of radish, spinach, and lettuce, which adds up to 6,000 kilograms.

But this was not what made her happiest.

What made her happiest was that the system said that as long as the vegetables planted in the space were harvested after an acre of land, they would be automatically sown, and there would be no need to get new seeds!

To put it bluntly, she can now harvest radishes, spinach, and lettuce every day!

If she wasn't afraid of being discovered, she would have wanted to sell all the vegetables in the field every day!

But this is a long-term business, she has to keep it steady and not let anyone find out.

Moreover, she now has top-grade wood spiritual roots, so whatever she plants will grow.

Logically, in this kind of weather, it would be great if the seeds could germinate within ten days!

But the radish seeds she sowed a few days ago were only watered and covered with a film for insulation, and now they have sprouted one after another!

When the greenhouse is ready, she will buy more seedlings and plant those that can grow in about a month.

In this way, vegetables can be sold in large quantities within a few months at most.

By then, she could build a few more greenhouses!

With more greenhouses, she wouldn't have to sell the vegetables in the space like a thief!

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Aunt Wang saw that her smile was higher than hers, so she couldn't help asking, "Mingzhu, what are you so happy about?"

Just as Gu Mingzhu was about to answer, someone outside shouted, "Gu Mingzhu, the captain wants you to go to his house!"

Aunt Wang listened to the noise outside and was stunned. "Why do I want to see you so late at night? Are you not allowed to build the greenhouse?"

When Gu Mingzhu heard this, her brows furrowed, "Why don't you do it for me?"
