Gu Yundong took out the pears and asked as she walked to the kitchen, “What happened to the Hu family?”
“This morning, Hu Liang woke up and shouted. Later, for some reason, he suddenly said that Zhuangzi had also been to the county city. Moreover, Hu Liang had a fight with Zhuangzi before he was knocked out.” Dong Xiulan sighed. “Jin Yuexiang went to Zhuangzi’s house and insisted that Zhuangzi had harmed Hu Liang and wanted him to compensate.”
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. The Hu family must be crazy to want to extort money from everyone.
They said that Zhuangzi knocked Hu Liang unconscious. Where was the evidence? They opened their mouths and bit him.
“How could Zhuangzi’s family be willing? Zhuangzi rushed up to hit the Hu brothers at that time. If Zhuangzi’s sister, Lan Huan’er, hadn’t cleverly gone to look for the village chief, who knows what would have happened.”
Gu Yundong sympathized with the village chief. “Then what happened next?”
“The village chief was also angry. There’s no end to their nonsense. He told the Hu family not to cause trouble. It was the Peng family who broke Hu Liang’s leg. If you have the ability, go to the Peng family. If you continue to accuse others, I’ll chase the Hu family out of the village.”
The Hu family was shocked and returned home dejectedly.
However, this time, the Hu family and Zhuangzi’s family had completely fallen out.
Dong Xiulan didn’t know what the others were thinking, but she felt that this was good. Hu Liang’s leg was broken, so let’s see if he still dared to do bad things everywhere. Without him taking the lead, Zhuangzi and the other two also knew their place.
Gu Yundong treated the Hu family’s matter as a joke. She went into the kitchen, washed a few pears, cut them, and asked Dong Xiulan to bring them out for everyone to eat. Then, she carried the remaining pears into her room.
She asked them not to disturb her and sat on the edge of the bed. She calmed down and began to search her spatial storage.
Gu Yundong vaguely remembered that there were a few books in her spatial storage about planting fruit trees. During the apocalypse, everyone was focused on collecting supplies for food and clothing. Books were thrown aside and ignored.
It was the same for Gu Yundong back then. As long as she had food and clothes, she could not care about anything else.
Later on, when she was hiding in a small bookstore to avoid zombies, a teammate beside her sighed and said, “If one day, the apocalypse really ends, but these books are destroyed, won’t a lot of knowledge be cut off?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the zombies came in. In a moment of desperation, Gu Yundong only had time to scoop up the pile of books beside her into her space. Because of her teammate’s words, Gu Yundong no longer only collected food and clothes. Occasionally, she would collect things that were not often used.
After that, in order to survive, Gu Yundong did not carefully read these books.
When she saw the old man selling pears today, Gu Yundong suddenly had the idea of planting fruit trees. There were not many types of fruits here. The prices were not low but ridiculously high. For example, the apples she had seen in the prefectural city.
Moreover, fruits were not easy to preserve. The pears she bought today had actually been plucked from the tree for some time. Some of its skin was a little wrinkled.
However, she had a spatial storage. Time stopped inside. Even if she kept the fruits for a year or two, they would still be fresh. When it was not easy to sell the fruits in the county city, she could sell them to the prefectural city and further away.
Even if she couldn’t sell them, she could still make easy-to-storage food like jam and dried fruits.
Coincidentally, she knew how to do all of this.
To her, the most difficult part was actually the first step—planting fruit trees..
