Chapter 39 Mingzhu, I have something to tell you

When Deng Hongmei saw her coming, she was full of impatience, "Gu Mingzhu, this is a matter between us, what does it have to do with you? Why are you butting in?"

"To be honest, I don't want to get involved in your family's trivial matters." Gu Mingzhu said, "But uncle is working under me now, I pay him a salary, so he is my employee, I can't watch you bully him like this!"

"Who bullied him!?"

Deng Hongmei stiffened her neck and retorted, "He was the one who asked for a divorce, it wasn't me who had to divorce him!"

Gu Mingzhu looked at her confident look and snorted coldly.

"On a daily basis, you either beat or scold your uncle, and you often kick him out of the house. Isn't this considered bullying?!"

Not only Gu Mingzhu couldn't stand it, even those who worked in the greenhouse felt that Deng Hongmei was really going too far.

"That's right! It was fine before when the weather was good, so you chased him out. But now it's freezing cold, the temperature is almost zero degrees during the day, and minus 2 or 3 degrees at night. The water has frozen into ice, and you don't even bother to look for him!"

"How could she find it? I saw her brother coming yesterday, and he was stewing pork elbows at home! When he left, he was carrying bags of pork left and right. If you didn't know, you would think he was here to restock the goods!"

"Ah? She doesn't care that her husband hasn't been home for two days even though she's eating meat at home? This is too outrageous!"

"Deng Hongmei, Gu Shan is honest and hardworking, and he listens to you in everything. Why don't you treat him better?"

"If you treated Gu Shan half as well as you treat your brothers from your mother's side, would he want to divorce you?"

At this point, everyone present felt sympathy for Gu Shan.

Because of Deng Hongmei's behavior, the entire Team 1 of Baisha Village was aware of it.

She wasn't so arrogant before she gave birth to her son.

After giving birth to a son, she felt confident. Not only did she not take her husband seriously, sometimes she even ignored Lin Guihua.

In her eyes, her two daughters were complete money-losing goods.

If Gu Shan hadn't felt that children must study, she would have let her two daughters go out to work and earn money long ago.

Not only was she domineering and patriarchal in her daily life, she also used Gu Shan's hard-earned money to support her younger brother.

Gu Shan quarreled with her several times for this, but every time he thought about the divorce and the loss of his three children's complete family, he endured it.

But this time, he was really heartbroken.

Especially at this moment when everyone is talking about Deng Hongmei, she not only does not reflect on herself, but even accuses Gu Shan of being useless.

"Gu Shan, are you still a man?"

"These people pointed at your wife and cursed her. It would be fine if you didn't speak up for me, but you're going to vent your anger on them!?"

Looking at her face that was trying to put the blame on someone else, Gu Shan had really had enough.

He said directly: "Deng Hongmei, you don't have to blame this or that. I, Gu Shan, have been very kind to you!"

"We've been married for more than 20 years. You said one thing, and I never said two!"

"When we didn't have children yet, you said you only had this one brother and you wanted to help him. Did I ever say no?"

"After we had a child, I told you to take care of the child first, but you kept quarreling with me!"

"Now you say I'm not a man and I won't help you? If I weren't a man, would I have let you do that for more than 20 years!?"

At this point, he said decisively: "Since you only have your brother from your mother's family in your heart, then you should go back to your mother's family!"

Seeing that he was determined to divorce her, Deng Hongmei was furious. "Divorce me if you want. Come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!"

"But I'll be frank with you. After the divorce, even if you beg me on your knees, I won't come back!"

After saying this, she pushed Gu Mingzhu hard and strode out. Gu Mingzhu didn't expect her to push someone and was almost pushed down.

Seeing this, Gu Shan was filled with shame, "Mingzhu, I'm sorry, I——"

As he was talking, he squatted on the ground and kept scratching his hair, "Why do I live my life like this?"

He worked hard for most of his life and endured humiliation for more than 20 years, just because he wanted his family to live in harmony.

But in the end, the person next to me is like a thousand-year-old piece of ice, and no matter how hard I try, I can't warm him up.

Gu Mingzhu didn't know how to comfort him.

She first motioned for everyone to get back to work, then squatted beside Gu Shan for a long while before finally speaking:

"Uncle, please think carefully about whether you really want to leave."

"If you really want to leave, then leave."

"But after the divorce, life still has to go on. You still have to cheer up. The three children still have to go to school and have to eat. If you collapse, this family will really fall apart."

Wang Xiulian nodded when she heard this, "Yes, whether you want to get a divorce or continue living together, you have to cheer up."

When Gu Shan heard what they said, he rubbed his face hard and said, "Yes, I have to cheer up, otherwise the children will have no money to go to school."

The children are his spiritual support and his motivation.

When he thought of his children, he stopped daydreaming and went straight to work.

Seeing that he went to work so quickly, Wang Xiulian was still a little worried.

She said to Gu Mingzhu, "Your uncle doesn't look like he's okay. How about letting him rest for a few days?"

Gu Mingzhu sighed, "If he wanted to rest, he would have gone home long ago, and would not have stayed in this orchard."

If she couldn't persuade him, she wouldn't force it.

Besides, every family has its own problems, and these cannot be dealt with in just a few words.

Wang Xiulian also thought this was true.

So she ignored Gu Shan and asked Gu Mingzhu: "The new greenhouse should be ready tomorrow. Do you plan to grow vegetables or strawberries in it?"

"Growing vegetables." Gu Mingzhu said, "Now the vegetables in the two greenhouses have been harvested almost. Once the new greenhouse is completed, we will plant new vegetables and try to sell them during the New Year."

As for strawberries, she had already agreed with Liu Xi yesterday that there should be several thousand more seedlings in the future.

After Boss Zhang found the land, she immediately planted strawberries in large quantities.

There are still two months left until the Chinese New Year.

If these strawberries are good, we should be able to start selling them during the Chinese New Year.

When it comes to growing strawberries, Wang Xiulian is a little embarrassed to speak, "Mingzhu, I have something to tell you..."

But when she got to this point, she couldn't go on.

Seeing her hesitating, Gu Mingzhu asked directly, "Aunt, do you want to grow strawberries too?"

When Wang Xiulian saw that she had seen through it, she was stunned on the spot.

But the next second, she waved her hands repeatedly: "Mingzhu, no, I'm just asking, I don't mean that..."

Mingzhu had already given her an acre of land to grow vegetables, so she couldn't be greedy anymore.
