When Gu Mingzhu heard the man shouting so anxiously, she ran out without even putting down the kitchen knife in her hand.
When the man saw her cooking, he quickly said, "Don't cook yet. You have a few sheep in your shed. My husband is helping you herd the sheep now!"
There are sheep in the shed! ?
Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened. "That's impossible. I just came back from the greenhouse not long ago. I closed the door when I left. How could the sheep get in?!"
The woman said, "I don't know about that! We were just passing by when we were finishing work, and we heard the sheep bleating inside. I was afraid that the sheep would eat all your vegetables, so I asked my husband to go in and drive them away, and I came over to call you!"
After confirming that the sheep had really gone in, Gu Mingzhu didn't bother to ask anything else. She put down the kitchen knife and went straight to the greenhouse.
When she arrived, the man was still herding sheep in the greenhouse!
All the vegetables in the field that were growing well had been eaten!
Aunt Wang came over later.
When she saw that a lot of the food had been eaten, she almost fainted.
When the man saw them coming, he hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, quick! Drive the sheep out first!"
Several people worked together and finally managed to drive the five or six sheep out of the shed.
After driving the sheep out, the man said, "I know whose sheep this is. I'll go get them to come over first."
There are not many people raising sheep in the team, only a few come and go.
And every household's sheep have unique markings.
The sheep's ears have been painted with yellow paint, and they obviously belong to Gu Laosan's family.
When Gu Laosan heard that his sheep had run into Gu Mingzhu's greenhouse, he immediately dropped his bowl and rushed over wearing his big coat.
He didn't quite believe it at first.
After all, he had driven the sheep into the sheepfold a long time ago.
But when he ran over to take a look, he saw that the sheep were his own and a lot of vegetables in the greenhouse had been wasted, so he kicked the sheep angrily.
The sheep that was kicked was not angry, but rubbed against its owner.
"Get out of my way!"
Gu Laosan was furious and irritated, "I locked you up in the sheepfold, how come you ran out? It would have been fine if you ran out, but you even ate my food!"
"What can I pay for it?!"
Gu Laosan's family is not well-off.
Before the end of the world, he was lazy and liked to play mahjong.
His wife advised him to go out to work earnestly, but he was unwilling to do so and even started hitting people.
Later, his wife really didn't want to live with him anymore, so she ran away with the children.
In the first year of the apocalypse, every household turned the land and planted vegetables, hoping to supplement their family income by selling vegetables.
But all the land under Gu Laosan's name was occupied by his elder and second brothers, so he had no choice but to borrow money to buy two sheep to raise.
I have been raising them for more than two years. There were only two sheep at the beginning, but now there are six.
Just after a while, this kind of thing happened.
He was hunched over, not knowing how to face Gu Mingzhu.
A lot of the food was eaten, and Gu Mingzhu must have been heartbroken.
According to the current market conditions, these vegetables can be sold for at least a few thousand yuan.
But she didn't think that Gu Laosan's sheep ran into the greenhouse on their own.
She clearly remembered that when she and Wang Xiulian left, they had already closed the door of the greenhouse!
Wang Xiulian also understood what she meant: "The vegetables were eaten, so compensation is indeed required. After all, Mingzhu worked hard to grow the vegetables, and she also spent a lot of effort to build this greenhouse, so compensation is necessary."
When Gu Laosan heard this, he felt as if he had eaten bitter herbs and was unable to express his bitterness.
But Wang Xiulian added: "But you are not the only one who has to pay the price!"
When Gu Lao San heard this, he was a little confused, "I'm not the only one who has to pay? Then who else will pay?"
The couple were also a little surprised.
They thought Gu Mingzhu wanted them to pay compensation, so they quickly stepped back. "We are kind enough to help you herd the sheep, you won't ask us to pay, right?!"
"Of course not!" Gu Mingzhu said, "I can't even thank you enough, so why should I ask you to compensate me? What I mean is that the person who put the sheep into the shed should pay the heaviest price!"
Gu Laosan was stunned, "Didn't the sheep go in by itself?"
"Definitely not." Gu Mingzhu said, "I closed the door before I left. How did the sheep get in by itself?"
Besides, the team's sheep pens and cattle pens are fixed in one location.
The sheep pen is at least 1,000 meters away from her greenhouse, and there are countless vegetable fields between the two places.
Why don't the sheep eat the vegetables outside in the fields, but have to run into her greenhouse! ?
It's obvious that someone let the sheep in on purpose!
As soon as Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, the couple frowned, "Mingzhu, your analysis is right. The sheepfold has a door, and the greenhouse also has a door. These sheep are not spirits, so it's impossible for them to open the door by themselves!"
Seeing that he didn't have to bear all the responsibilities, Gu Laosan was actually relieved.
But when he heard that someone had deliberately driven his sheep into this shed, he couldn't help but get angry, "Who is so wicked!?"
Gu Mingzhu said: "It's hard to say who did it. But I won't let this matter go..."
She didn't even bother to cook and went straight to find the captain.
When Gu Jianguo heard this, he was also furious. "No matter what, this person must be found! This behavior is too bad!"
It's not easy to grow vegetables these days.
It is even more difficult for a young girl to take out a loan to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables.
They were fellow villagers, but instead of helping them, someone deliberately let sheep in to eat their food! ?
This was simply unscrupulous!
In order to investigate this matter, the team leader summoned everyone to the cultural room for a meeting overnight.
It was cold and late at night, so many people had complaints at first.
"Captain, why are you holding a meeting so late at night? Is there anything that can't be discussed during the day?"
Deng Hongmei, who was sitting in the corner, also looked impatient, "That's right, it's freezing!"
Suddenly someone said, "Someone deliberately brought Gu Laosan's sheep to Gu Mingzhu's shed and ate a lot of her vegetables!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened, "No way!? Who did it? "
"It's because we don't know who did it that the captain called everyone here." The man added, "The captain said that the village values Mingzhu very much, and this matter must be investigated thoroughly!"
Everyone nodded.
"Growing vegetables is so difficult these days. The government often issues official documents to encourage us ordinary people to plant more land. But this person went so far as to destroy other people's vegetable fields. He is so wicked!"
"We have to find out! If we don't find this person, Gu Mingzhu's food will be ruined today, and tomorrow it might become ours!"
Gu Shan also frowned when he heard what everyone said.
He said to Deng Hongmei: "Wife, did you hear that? Mingzhu's vegetables were eaten by the sheep. I don't know which evil person did it—"
"Shut up!" Deng Hongmei slapped him angrily.
Seeing her big reaction, Gu Shan quickly lowered his voice and asked, "This matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
