Chapter 18

There were sounds of beating and scolding from the west room, and Xie Jianbang was driven to the firewood room to sleep.

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

The firewood room of the Xie family was next to the kitchen, which was full of firewood, and next to the toilet…

She could already foresee the chaos in the future!

Amid the scolding in the west room, Gu Nanzhi went to the east room, and after cleaning Xie Zhenting as usual, she gave him acupuncture and blood circulation injections, and told him that they had already held a wedding banquet.

Xie Zhenting: “???”

Wedding banquet?

He really held a wedding banquet with this woman?

How is this possible!

They couldn’t even get a marriage certificate, so how could they hold a wedding banquet directly?

However, Xie Zhenting soon figured it out. In places like rural areas, the rule of law awareness is weak. People can’t get a certificate before they reach the age of marriage, or they are too lazy to get a certificate when they reach the age. There are many people who just hold a banquet as a marriage, but…

this woman is an illegal element!

How can he marry her?

Xie Zhenting has always been strict with himself and does not allow himself to have any criticism. Even if he married Gu Nanzhi in name, it was difficult for him to accept it, but…

Gu Nanzhi didn’t care whether he accepted it or not. She didn’t even know that Xie Zhenting found it difficult to accept it. After taking care of him, she went straight back to the East Room.

She made a detailed treatment plan for Xie Zhenting, the purpose of which was to ensure that Xie Zhenting’s various body functions were normal during his coma!

In the book, Xie Zhenting woke up after a year and a half of coma, and he was extremely weak. In the picture she saw, Xie Zhenting was staggering and skinny when he fought his way into the deep mountain village…

Gu Nanzhi knew better than anyone what pathological characteristics a vegetative person in a long-term coma would have!

She was trying her best to avoid it!

But Western medicine focuses on treatment, while Chinese medicine is good at adjustment. In terms of regulating tendons, veins, qi and blood, Chinese medicine is indeed better!

She had to go up the mountain. According to the original book, the mountain behind Gujia Village and Xiejia Village was a natural treasure land. Xu Xiangling found many opportunities in the mountain. In addition to wild animals, there were many Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountain, and this…just solved Gu Nanzhi’s urgent need.

After breakfast the next day, Gu Nanzhi said something to the two elders, and went out with a backpack under Du Guirong’s scolding.

Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, the corn in the field has now grown half a person’s height. There is no farm work except weeding. Many women in the village have no work to do, so they go to the mountain to chop firewood or pick some mushrooms to go home and add to the dishes.

On the way up the mountain, Gu Nanzhi met many neighbors. Whether they were from Xiejia Village or Gujia Village, she greeted them enthusiastically.

But she didn’t expect to meet Gu Jinxiu who was picking mushrooms at the foot of the mountain.

You know, Gu Jinxiu was so lazy before that she could not touch the spring water. Now the weather is hot and there are many mosquitoes in the mountains. It is really surprising that she is willing to go out.

As soon as Gu Jinxiu saw Gu Nanzhi, she immediately dropped the basket and rushed over.

“Gu Nanzhi, you little bitch, how dare you come out!”

As she spoke, Gu Jinxiu smashed the small shovel in her hand towards Gu Nanzhi’s head.

If she had been hit, Gu Nanzhi would have been bleeding from the head.

In a flash, Gu Nanzhi reached out and grabbed the small shovel and threw it away, then slapped Gu Jinxiu again with her backhand.

“Pa!”

A loud slap sounded, and Gu Jinxiu’s face was full of disbelief.

“You remember to eat but not to be beaten, right? Who are you calling a little bitch?”

“You…I…”

Gu Jinxiu still didn’t understand why Gu Nanzhi, who had been bullied by her for more than ten years without fighting back, suddenly dared to hit her!

“Also, why don’t I dare to come out? Is this mountain yours?”

Facing Gu Nanzhi’s aggressiveness, Gu Jinxiu didn’t dare to answer.

Not to mention her, the people in Gujia Village didn’t dare to say that this mountain was theirs. If they said it, the two villages would fight!

“I don’t care! Going up the mountain to collect mushrooms has always been your job. I don’t want to feed mosquitoes in the mountains anymore!”

Gu Jinxiu stamped her feet, turned around to pick up the basket and stuffed it into Gu Nanzhi’s arms, and habitually said, “Go collect mushrooms, and if you don’t come back with a full basket of mushrooms, I’ll break your legs!”

The house was robbed of everything, and the twenty yuan extorted from the neighbors in front and behind was all used to pay Li Chunhua’s hospital bills. Now the Gu family even has to beg Gu Youcai’s parents for rice.

But Gu Jinxiu’s grandmother lives with her uncle, and Gu Jinxiu’s aunt is not a good person. She didn’t look good to Gu Youcai’s family who went to collect money.

Gu Jinxiu was really tired of this chaotic life. In the past, when Gu Nanzhi was at home, she was the one who took care of everything inside and outside. The four of them ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks while lying on the bed. How could they have suffered such humiliation?

So when she saw Gu Nanzhi, she subconsciously wanted to order her to do this and that like before, but…

Gu Nanzhi stretched out her hand and pushed Gu Jinxiu to the ground with the basket.

“What a joke! A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Why should I, a daughter who is sold, work like a slave for your family?”

“Go and dream about picking mushrooms in the autumn! I won’t burn a piece of paper for you even if you starve to death!”

After saying that, Gu Nanzhi shrugged the backpack on her shoulders and left.

“Don’t go!”

Gu Jinxiu was left on the ground shouting, “Gu Nanzhi, you ungrateful wolf, come back…”

Gu Nanzhi left: “Humph!”

She is not a masochist, and only a fool would go back!

What an ungrateful person…

The people of the Gu family don’t think about what they have done to her. Not only have they treated her like a beast for more than ten years, but they also want to continue to enslave her?

Dream on!

Gu Nanzhi left decisively. Gu Jinxiu cursed on the ground for a long time, and left angrily when she saw that he had disappeared.

She was lazy and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms just for show. Now she didn’t pick any mushrooms and was very angry. She had to find someone to complain to?

Gu Nanzhi didn’t care what she did. She just went up the mountain road. As she met fewer and fewer neighbors, the road up the mountain was gradually covered by bushes. Gu Nanzhi could only take out the sickle in her backpack and cut through the thorns…

In the area where the villagers often moved, the wild animals had long been plundered. If she wanted to pick the medicinal materials that Xie Zhenting needed, she had to go deep into the mountains.

When she reached the outskirts of the mountains, Gu Nanzhi was attracted by a plant.

“Wild Chuanxiong!”

This medicinal material, known as the “blood-qi medicine”, is exactly what Xie Zhenting needs. Gu Nanzhi wielded the hammer and went in!

Next…

“Sanqi!”

“Danshen!”

“Villagerus parasiticus!”

“…”

Gu Nanzhi discovered that this mountain was really a treasure trove. The abundance of products in the mountain far exceeded her imagination!

According to this progress, not only would she no longer have to go to the town to buy medicine for Xie Zhenting, but she could also collect more medicinal materials to supplement the family income!

Thinking of this, Gu Nanzhi worked harder, until her stomach growled with hunger, she realized that it was already past noon, and hurried down the mountain with a full backpack on her back.

But when she reached the foot of the mountain, Gu Nanzhi was attracted by a pretentious voice of “Brother Bingcheng~”, and subconsciously parted the bushes to look over…
