Chapter 163 Goodbye
Chapter 163 Goodbye
However, Zhou Nan can fully understand Maggie's actions by considering the original work.
Farmer Hershel was born here. Green Farm has been owned by his family for nearly 160 years. However, Hershel had a very difficult childhood. His father was often an alcoholic and abused Hershel and his siblings.
As a result, Hershel harbored a grudge against his father, which forced him to move out of Green Farm when he turned fifteen and live temporarily with his aunt, a veterinarian.
Hershel learned a variety of things, while his brother inherited Green Farm and, like their father, worked hard to run the family business.
Hershel also began to go to the city like a country worker to try to make a living, but his brother died in an accident when he was in his thirties.
The women who married out of the family had neither the time nor the interest to clean up the debt-ridden mess. As the only youngest son in the family, Hershel had to bite the bullet and take over the farm with the help of his relatives.
But he doesn't want to be a farmer all his life!
In his late fifties, Hershel became a veterinarian, inspired by the skills he learned while living with his aunt in his youth and his love for animals.
He loves this job far more than farming.
But he didn't want to let this family land remain silent, so he recruited young workers Otis and Patricia to manage the farm, while he devoted himself to studying medicine.
As Hershel's little friend, Maggie can understand her father Hershel. Perhaps it is the best decision to let her father escape from farming life as soon as possible.
Maggie has always wanted to dispose of these crops and livestock, then sell the farm, buy Hershel a small estate in a beautiful place, raise two of Hershel's favorite German Shepherds, and live out her days in peace.
After Hershel learned what Maggie meant, he did not blame Maggie. Hershel, who had been busy all his life, really wanted that kind of life. He was really tired.
The good news was that before the disaster day, someone offered to buy Green Farm at a high price, but the bad news was that person only wanted the land and didn't want the agricultural products and livestock.
But these things are also a considerable fortune, and coupled with Hershel's serious character and unwillingness to suffer any loss, this matter has been shelved.
Now, hearing that Zhou Nan was going to purchase all the agricultural products, Maggie was so happy!
Zhou Nan also smiled and said to Maggie: "My name is Zhou Nan, it's up to you, you can call me whatever you want."
"But I have to say one thing, I have a lot of friends. They are all here to help me move the produce, and they are all in the truck now."
"The world's been a mess lately. I'm afraid you might be scared, so I can only ask them to hide in the car first. I'm going to call them out later. Don't be afraid. I guarantee it with my life. We're definitely good people."
Maggie also introduced herself: "Zhou Nan, nice to meet you, my name is Maggie."
Then she said cheerfully, "Call your friends out; it's suffocating inside."
Zhou Nan also clapped his hands, "Alright guys, come down."
Following Zhou Nan's call, "militants" armed with guns filed out of the truck one after another.
Some of them were holding rifles, some were holding submachine guns, they had grenades on one side of their waists and bullet bags on the other, and they even wore bulletproof vests.
Maggie even saw a sniper wearing a ghillie suit and holding a sniper rifle!
After Paul brought back the weapons and equipment scattered on the battlefield, Zhou Nan and his team's weapons and equipment became more presentable.
Maggie now even thought it was a bunch of mercenaries!
There was already a look of fear in her eyes. It was undoubtedly very dangerous for a girl to face such a group of people, and in such an environment.
Maggie's voice stuttered a little. "Okay, this is really unexpected. I need to go tell my father first. Can you wait here for me?"
Zhou Nan nodded: "Of course."
Then Maggie rode her horse and fled away.
Glenn looked at Maggie galloping on her horse and murmured to himself, "Hello, farmer's daughter."
Zhou Nan glanced at Glenn beside him. He didn't expect that it was inevitable that the two of them would fall in love with each other in the play.
Zhou Nan suddenly remembered Glenn's last words before his death in the play, "Maggie, I'll find you."
Glenn suffered a severe head injury and was in a state of confusion before he died. The first thing he remembered was his search for Maggie.
However, Zhou Nan believes that it would be better to translate this English passage as "See you in the next life."
Zhou Nan looked at Glenn, who was stunned, and whispered, "It seems you really found her."
Glenn scratched his head in confusion after hearing this. He didn't understand what Zhou Nan meant. "What?"
Zhou Nan patted Glenn's shoulder and said, "It's nothing. Let's wait patiently."
At this moment, Maggie rode her horse to the residence, then she dismounted and ran quickly into the house.
"Dad! A group of people came to our farm with guns, and they are now at the farm gate!"
Beth was collecting clothes. Seeing Maggie's flustered look, she quickly put down the clothes in her hands and ran back into the house with Maggie.
After hearing the whole story, Hershel understood the purpose of Zhou Nan and others' visit.
When Hershel heard Maggie say that there were at least 30 people on the other side, he gave up the idea of confronting Zhou Nan and others.
Hershel has been hostile to outsiders since the death of his son, Sean Green.
In the play, the only reason Otis accepted Rick and others was because he felt guilty about hitting Carl, otherwise he would not have bothered to accept Rick and others.
But the situation was stronger than the person, so he had to make compromises.
"I'll go over and see what they're up to. They're willing to wait at the door for my permission as a farmer, so I guess they're not bad people."
"Just wait here. If I don't come back, that means something bad happened to me. You should hurry up and run away."
After saying this, Hershel was about to mount his horse and go alone.
Maggie and Beth also spoke up: "No, we are a family and need to take these risks together!"
Hershel looked at the determined eyes of his two daughters and sighed. His two daughters had the same stubborn personalities as him and would not listen to any advice at all.
Hershel could only relent and say, "Okay, my good girls, let's go together."
The family rode their horses to the farm gate, but Maggie was surprised when she saw Zhou Nan's side.
Originally, Zhou Nan and his group numbered about thirty people, but now, a large truck was parked at the entrance of the farm, and armed men were constantly jumping out of the truck.
After seeing Maggie's panicked expression, Zhou Nan also explained with a smile: "They came a little late, I hope they didn't scare you."
