Chapter 13

Gu Jianguo was twisted and screamed, “Why are you twisting me when you can’t find the money? I think what the old woman said is right. You just can’t sell ducks to make geese. Maybe the money is hidden by you!”

“What did you say?”

This sentence can be regarded as completely infuriating Li Chunhua. Li Chunhua exploded directly and beat Gu Jianguo all over the face.

“Unfilial son! I told you to talk nonsense! When did you help outsiders speak? I will beat you to death!”

“Ah! Stop it…”

Gu Jianguo cried out in pain, but Li Chunhua, who was angry, had no intention of stopping.

“If you hit me again, I will be furious! Don’t think that I dare not do anything to you just because you are my mother. Why don’t you go out and find out whether I, Gu Jianguo, am easy to mess with!”

“You evil son, dare you to blackmail your mother?”

“…”

The mother and son quarreled and really started fighting.

Seeing the mother and son fighting, Gu Youcai and Gu Jinxiu went to separate them. After pulling and pulling, the family started to fight each other…

“Enough!”

Seeing the farce getting out of control, the children and parents all started fighting, and the old village chief of Xiejia Village roared, “If you want to fight, go back to your village! You slandered the Yandaizhai family for stealing your things, and when you couldn’t find the things, you lied in our village and made a scene. Do you really think that there is no one in our Xiejia Village?” As soon as the old village chief said this, the men of Xiejia Village stood up immediately.

The two villages are adjacent to each other, with land next to each other and sharing a river. If the people of one village step on the stalks of the other village, and the canal of that village is an inch wider and an inch narrower, the two villages can even fight over a disagreement, not to mention this kind of thing of picking on people!

Seeing the conflict escalate, the old village chief of Gujia Village turned black in expression. He swung his cane and hit Gu Youcai and Li Chunhua twice, shouting, “Isn’t it embarrassing enough? Do you have to make a big fuss? Get out of here!”

“If you dare to make trouble again, don’t blame me for not caring about you!”

After saying this, the old village chief turned around and left.

Knowing that Gu Youcai’s family was a worry, he shouldn’t have cared about this troublesome matter!

If it were to be said later, it would be like he brought the villagers to Xiejia Village to cause trouble. Alas! As soon as the old village chief left, facing the young and old men in Xiejia Village who were eyeing them covetously, Gu Youcai’s family didn’t dare to stay any longer.

The money was not found!

The things were gone too!

“Everything was stolen from the house. We can’t live like this anymore!”

“My city wife, you promised me that you would marry me a city wife!”

“Get lost! You can’t even afford to eat, and you still want to marry a city wife…”

“And my dowry! It’s the three turns and one ring as promised…”

“Get lost too!”

“…”

Seeing the whole family leaving in a panic, the people surrounding the Xie family’s door gradually dispersed.

However, after this incident, those who heard that the Xie family spent 500 yuan to buy a wife yesterday and thought that the Xie family was very rich, looked at the Xie family with a different look.

Hatred of the rich is too common!

But the rich people in their minds suddenly became poor people with only more than 40 yuan in assets, and they felt… balanced!

They are not as good as them, why are they still jealous?

“Hmph!”

Wang Bingcheng, who had specially come to see the excitement of the Xie family, snorted in the crowd, “I thought the Xie family had a lot of wealth, but I didn’t expect it to be such a poor and broke family!”

If he had known that the Xie family had no money, he would not have come to seduce Gu Nanzhi and elope with the money yesterday. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also got himself into trouble!

Now the village cadres are still keeping a close watch on him!

It’s annoying just thinking about it!

Wang Bingcheng muttered, holding his chest that was still a little painful from being kicked and was about to leave. When he was about to leave, he saw Gu Nanzhi leaning against the door of the Xie family. Seeing her delicate little face the size of a palm, Wang Bingcheng pursed his lips…

As expected of the woman he fell in love with at first sight, she is so beautiful!

He can forget about getting money from her in the future, but he should get some other benefits if he can, after all…

food, sex and nature are human nature!

Gu Nanzhi took in Wang Bingcheng’s eyes.

This bastard!

She knew he was still determined to do something!

She will go to town to buy needles now, and next time she will make him impotent!

Mother Xie and Father Xie thanked the people in the village. When they heard that Gu Nanzhi was going to town, they immediately took ten yuan from home and said they would go with her.

“Your father has already found someone to prepare the banquet, and the money has been paid. You will have the wedding banquet tomorrow. For such a big event, I can’t not even give you a new set of clothes. Mom will take you to the town to buy clothes!”

Facing Xie’s mother who was full of enthusiasm and urged her to change her mind, Gu Nanzhi: “…”

“Okay, Mom!”

She couldn’t even say a word of refusal, and was very willing to accept the request.

“Oh, okay!”

When Xie’s mother heard this, she was so happy that her teeth were not visible. She took Gu Nanzhi’s arm affectionately and left.

Gu Nanzhi went to the town hospital to buy several kinds of good-looking medicinal herbs, and asked the old doctor who dispensed the medicine if he had silver needles and tools for preparing medicinal herbs for sale.

There was no way, her laboratory only had artificially grown medicinal herbs, and because she did not specialize in medicine, she did not even prepare these tools.

When the old doctor heard that she wanted to buy these things, he looked at her warily for a long time.

“The things you want are not only not sold in town, but even in the department stores in the city, they may not sell them! What are you doing here?”

“I learned some Chinese medicine from the old people who were sent down from the village. I want to go back and think about it and make a living!”

Gu Nanzhi brought out the excuse he had thought of long ago.

The old doctor’s eyes lit up when he heard it, “Which village are you from?”

“Originally from Gujia Village at the foot of the mountain.”

“… I know someone who teaches you Chinese medicine. The things you want are not sold in the hospital, and I have a set!”

In the end, Gu Nanzhi spent 80 yuan to buy a set of silver needles and processing tools from the old doctor. Together with the 20 yuan she spent on medicine, she spent a full 100 yuan!

If you don’t run a household, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. Once you run a household… Gu Nanzhi felt bad for spending a hundred dollars.

Xie’s mother was also distressed, but seeing her daughter-in-law’s distressed look, she had to comfort her, “Didn’t you say that acupuncture is good for the eldest brother’s health? And the medicinal materials, buying medicine is more expensive, with the tools we can save money by collecting and processing the herbs ourselves! We don’t feel bad!”

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

That’s what she said, but if she wanted to give Xie Zhenting the best treatment, it would be a bottomless pit!

Twenty yuan for seven prescriptions, that’s it, she hasn’t bought the most expensive herbs in the prescription she prepared for Xie Zhenting…

Going up the mountain to collect herbs must be put on the agenda!

If she relies on buying them, the remaining money she has can’t last for two months!

Gu Nanzhi was worried, until Xie’s mother took her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth and a two-foot red rope, she smiled again.

She was now wearing Xie Ruyun’s old clothes, and her hair was tied with a rag. Gu Nanzhi, who used to have someone to take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, never thought that one day she would be so happy for a new set of clothes and a new hairband!

But time has passed, and happiness comes so easily!

Gu Nanzhi is easily satisfied, and the two of them went home happily. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they saw a crowd of people gathered at the door of their house, and the sound of smashing pots and bowls came…

“Can you still let people live like this? You are raising a divorced girl, and buying a wife for the living dead. Can you still let people live like this?”
