From the day Guo Xiuhua coughed up blood, her health deteriorated, and later her mind began to become confused.

Once I didn't recognize my relatives at all, and once I thought Xue Ming was my deceased wife.

Later, I became completely confused. I didn’t recognize anyone, and I didn’t even know who I was.

I only eat one meal a day, and I drink no more than a spoonful of millet porridge at each meal. I have reached the point where my energy is exhausted.

Liu Yuee wiped her tears quietly every night, and Xue Ming's younger brothers and sisters were no longer as lively as before.

Xue Ming felt bad, but it was a pity that he was helpless about this kind of thing.

At noon that day, Qi Sanshi, the most famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Guangming County, took Guo Xiuhua's pulse and diagnosed her illness. After some checking, he packed up his things and walked out of the main room. A group of people followed him out.

"Mr. Qi, is my grandma in good health?" Xue Ming took out two yuan of consultation fee from his pocket. The most amazing Chinese medicine doctor in the county was certainly worth two yuan.

"Make the old lady whatever she wants to eat, give her whatever she wants to drink, and try to help her realize any unfulfilled wishes." Qi Sanshi left with the medicine box on his back. His words were like medicine that had no effect.

Xue Ming felt unhappy, Liu Yue'e wiped her tears quietly, Liu Jianqiang's face was a little sad, and the other old ladies' children were calm.

Liu Jianguo walked up to Liu Jianqiang and said, "Doctor Qi asked us to prepare the funeral arrangements for our mother. Let her take out the treasure map. You are the boss and you go ask my mother for it."

"Second brother is right, we can't let the old lady take the treasure into the coffin." The eldest daughter Liu Yuehong immediately supported him, and others also encouraged him.

Liu Jianqiang looked embarrassed. He was silent for a moment and said with a pinched neck, "Our mother doesn't have a treasure map at all. I asked Xue Ming to deliberately lie and trick you into coming here."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you are planning. The old lady wants Xue Ming to marry your Zhao Xiang, and you and Yue'e want to join forces to monopolize the treasure." Liu Jianguo sneered.

"Brother and little sister, you are not doing the right thing. The old man left the treasure. We all have a share and you can't just take it all." Liu Yuehong pinched her waist with both hands and angrily yelled at Liu Jianqiang.

"Little sister, you can't be too greedy. Xue Ming is so capable. If you eat meat, you have to let us drink soup. Leave us a way to survive." The second daughter Liu Yuejiao pointed the finger at Liu Yue'e.

"What did the second sister say? I have never heard our mother say anything about treasure maps. You can't accuse people unjustly." Liu Yue'e retorted decisively.

Soon they started to quarrel again in the yard. Xue Ming watched the quarrel indifferently. They had nothing to do these days and quarreled every day.

Mom and uncle are on the same side, and the other three sisters wear the same pair of trousers. The father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right.

Xue Ming was already numb and in no mood to join the battle, so he turned around and walked into the main room to go to his grandma's bedroom.

The others immediately ended their quarrel and followed into the house. They had been preventing Xue Ming from having any contact with the old lady alone, and worked in two shifts to guard the bedside during the day and night.

"Grandma, you're awake, I'll give you some water to drink." Xue Ming hurriedly filled her with warm water from a thermos bottle.

The old lady did not open her mouth to drink water, and stared at Xue Ming with her empty eyes. Liu Yue'e shed tears again, "Mom, tell me what you want!"

"Mom, please take out my father's treasure map. For this reason, don't hide it." Liu Jianguo said impatiently.

The unfilial sons also wanted the treasure map one after another. The mess in front of the hospital bed was worse than the vegetable market. Xue Ming clenched his fist and wanted to hit someone.

"Sun...grand daughter-in-law, clothes...clothes!" The old lady squeezed out a voice from her throat.

"Okay grandma, I'm preparing now so that you can fulfill your wish tomorrow." Xue Ming turned around and left on his bicycle.

Liu Yue'e also ran out of the house and held her son's hand, "Good boy, I have wronged you, so I'm sorry for you."

"Mom, don't say such things to me. I'm not wronged. You can go home and stay with my grandma." Xue Ming got on the car and went straight to Guangming Town.

Come to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Pei Lin to buy the shroud that grandma wants, which is the clothes that the dead wear in the coffin.

"Is the old lady okay?" Pei Lin patted Xue Ming's shoulder and comforted her softly, "People are bound to die. Just look away."

"I'm fine. Thank you Uncle Pei for your help." Xue Ming took a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to him. Pei Lin helped borrow the cloth ticket to buy the shroud.

"Don't be polite to me. Remember to come and inform me the day the old lady leaves," Pei Lin said.

Xue Ming nodded goodbye, rode his bicycle back to his uncle's house in Liucun, took out the key to open his uncle's carpenter's studio, and put in the ginkgo wood in front of him.

After riding my bicycle home, a group of unfilial men were still pestering the old lady for the treasure map, but the old lady closed her eyes and ignored them.

Xue Ming called Liu Jianqiang out, "Grandma doesn't have a treasure map at all. Uncle, don't listen to their nonsense. I just left the ginkgo tree at your house. Go back and find someone to make a coffin."

"Huh, kid, remember, even if you have treasure, you can't take advantage of those bastards." Liu Jianqiang was so angry that he directly called his siblings bastards. He couldn't stand those white-eyed wolves.

Xue Ming nodded and rode his bicycle straight to Pang's house in the Dali Village Brigade. His grandma's second wish was for him to get married, and the marriage partner was the young widow Han Yourong.

There was no news from Li Chuanying, and Zhao Xue was out of reach. Han Yourong, who had a one-night stand with Xue Ming, didn't know if she was pregnant, and he didn't want to get involved with another strange woman.

However, Liu Yue'e's dream was to have her son marry a girl in the city, but now she has to give way to her grandma's dream.

In addition, Han Yourong was a widow with a one-year-old child, so Liu Yue'e cried and said she had wronged her son.

Xue Ming didn't feel wronged. He got married just to prevent his grandma from leaving with regrets, so it didn't matter who the bride was.

When the car arrived at Liucun Brigade, it saw a more lively scene, even worse than the farce at home.

Pang Lao'er and Pang Lao'er's whole family went out to force his brother's orphaned and widowed mother to hand over the thousand kilograms of wheat.

Boss Pang loudly reasoned with the brigade secretary Li Fei and the melon-eating crowd, "That piece of wheat was exchanged for the Pang family's ginseng, and it must not be given to outsiders cheaply."

Han Yourong's father, Han Laoshuan, also shouted tit-for-tat with him, "Zhenkun left due to an accident. If my daughter can't support her family by herself, of course she has to go back to her parents' family, and the food will of course go to our Han family."

Han Laoshuan's three sons rolled up their arms and sleeves and wanted to hit someone. If Party Secretary Li Fei and other brigade cadres were not present, the two sides would definitely fight.

Han Yourong sat on the ground crying with her one-year-old son in her arms. Both the Pang family and her mother's family wanted to take over her food. The thousand kilograms of wheat was life-saving food for her and her son.

Li Fei was caught in a dilemma. One moment he was doing the ideological work of the Pang family, and the other he was doing the ideological work of the Han family. He was exhausted and couldn't coordinate.

"I, Pang Zhenming, put my words here today. I will fight to the death with whoever dares to take a grain of wheat from my Pang family. Let's see who dares?" He said, grabbing the ax in his waist and chopping down the tree.

The scene was silent for a moment, and then a sudden voice sounded outside, "I dare!"
