Chapter 16: Real Relatives

Gu Zhang didn’t say much, just said in a deep voice: “Go and get it.”

He knew how much money they had at home, and there were only a few families that Gu Qing could borrow money from. These families were not rich and could not borrow much money.

Mrs. Chen didn’t say anything else. She went back to her room and opened the Kang cabinet again, took out the box, and took out the land deed inside.

Gu Fei’s eyes flashed, and she turned around and asked: “Mom, what are you doing with the land deed?”

Mrs. Chen held the land deed tightly in her hand and said with a forced smile: “It’s nothing. Don’t worry about these things. Just take good care of yourself. Mom will kill a chicken to make up for it in a while.”

Mrs. Chen quickly came out and handed the land deed to Gu Zhang with great reluctance.

Gu Zhang took the land deed and hurried to the village chief’s house.

Mrs. Chen saw Gu Zhang walking away, and she felt cruel. Then she went to catch a chicken from the chicken coop, brought it to the stove, and killed it.

Gu Fei was lying on the Kang, while Li Chunhua was giving her medicine. She heard the crow of the chicken and licked her lips. It had been a long time since she had eaten chicken.

When the apocalypse came, it became difficult to find food to survive, let alone eat chicken.

Although there were a few frozen chickens in her space, she had no chance to make them. There were too many people at the base, so she didn’t dare to take them out.

She wanted to drink chicken soup.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Zhang returned and said: “This is 20 taels of silver that was just counted by the village chief. Brother Shitou, please keep it.”

Shitou took the money with a complicated expression. He admired this family. They were so poor, but they were still so trustworthy and courageous.

He clearly stated that they didn’t need to pay back the money, but even so, they sold their land to repay their debt.

When Gu Zhang talked to Mrs. Chen out before, Shitou, who had a sharp ear and vaguely heard the word “land deed”. What else he couldn’t understand?

He nodded: “The money has been paid off, so I won’t bother you, and leave.”

Gu Zhang grabbed him and said: “Brother, don’t leave. You’ve worked hard, and you have to eat before going back.”

Shitou waved his hands repeatedly: “My young master is still waiting for me to serve him. I really can’t afford to delay anymore. I accept your kindness and take my leave.”

Gu Zhang couldn’t hold people back and watched Shitou get on the carriage.

The room became quiet, Gu Zhang turned around and asked Gu Qing: “Your sister——”

The door to the back room was closed, so he couldn’t go in rashly.

Gu Qing just met his father at the village chief’s house. He glanced at the door of the inner room and said: “My sister is injured. Chunhua is giving her medicine.”

Gu Zhang’s voice tightened: “Where is it hurt?”

Gu Qing said dullly: “On her back.”

“Her clothes were all stained red.”

As he was talking, Li Chunhua came out of the back room, holding the clothes Gu Fei had changed into.

Gu Zhang’s eyes lingered on the blood stains on the clothes for a long time, and he asked trembling: “Xiao Fei, did she tell you how she got injured? Is it serious? Do we need to call a doctor?”

“My sister said she was beaten in the mansion. They went to see the doctor in the city and bought medicine before they came back.” After Li Chunhua finished speaking, she carried the clothes and went to the water tank outside the house to fetch water.

Gu Zhang’s heart skipped a beat and his facial expression drastically changed: “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault!”

Gu Qing helped Gu Zhang sit down: “Dad, don’t blame yourself. Now that Xiao Fei is back, the family is finally reunited. Let’s treat her well in the future and slowly pay back what we owe her.”

Gu Fei pricked up her ears to listen to the sounds outside and let out a long breath in the back room.

From this point of view, it seems that the Gu Family values ​​love and justice, and their character is upright. She will treat them as real relatives in the future.

They were connected by blood, and the memories in her mind were also accompanied by emotions. She couldn’t let go even if she wanted to.
