Chapter 23 Separation
But Wu Xu, the son who carried his infinite expectations.
You can't let go no matter what. In the long road ahead, you may have to rely on your promising children to support you in your old age.
"You can leave if you want, but Wu Xu, you absolutely cannot!"
There was unquestionable determination in his words.
Ran He stood quietly aside, with a complicated look in his eyes.
In her heart, the future days will be spent relying on each other with her children. As for Wu Xu, he is just a brief encounter in her life. The emotion is as thin as morning mist, which will dissipate when it is gone.
If he is willing to continue to be filial to the Wu family, that is his choice.
It has nothing to do with her, and she is ready to never meet him again for the rest of her life.
……
"Ah!"
Wu Xu had just returned from a difficult mission outside when he suddenly felt an inexplicable itch on the tip of his nose.
Then, a loud sneeze exploded in the house.
It’s strange. I clearly didn’t catch a cold, so why have I been sneezing for no reason recently?
...
"Okay, I agree to your terms!"
In the depressing atmosphere, Ran He's voice was clear and firm, as if putting an end to this irreversible decision.
At this moment, everything seemed to have been settled. Wu Ming hurried over with the village chief, but he could only accept this established fact.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning everyone present one by one.
Finally, the sharpness stayed on Ran He's face. I heard that it was this restless daughter-in-law who started the trouble. She couldn't live a good life, but she had to make trouble. Did she really think she was tired of living?
"You guys, do you really want to split up?"
Wu Ming's voice was mixed with disappointment and anger that was hard to conceal, as if he was questioning, or perhaps it was a final attempt to retain someone.
Yes, village chief, today we decided to separate the second branch from the family and let Ran He and her children live on their own from now on.
There was a hint of determination and reluctance in Wu's mother's tone. She pursed her lips tightly and her eyes were firm.
It seemed as if he was forced to take this ruthless action, pushing Ran He to the world outside the door.
Upon hearing this, the village chief slowly exhaled a breath, the sound was long and heavy, as if it was part of an ancient ritual.
He gave a few words of persuasion as a matter of routine, his words full of helplessness and sense of responsibility as a village leader. He looked among the crowd, trying to find a glimmer of hope, but in the end he shook his head.
Prepare to begin presiding over this unpleasant family division ceremony.
Village chief, according to the result of our discussion, not a single cent of our family savings will be left to Ran He, and we are willing to give her 70% of the remaining food.
Mother Wu interrupted eagerly, her voice filled with unquestionable determination.
Zhang Qiaohua on the side quickly echoed, and the two of them sang in unison, creating a tense and subtle atmosphere.
Ran He was completely at fault in this matter, and not giving her money was a proper punishment. However, we in the Wu family were kind-hearted and were still willing to give her 70% of the food, which was enough for her and her children to live a well-fed and clothed life for a while. This was the greatest tolerance and kindness we could offer!
There was both blame and a bit of self-aggrandizement in Wu's mother's words.
At this moment, a dissatisfied hum was heard from the crowd.
Zhu Cuihua frowned, her brows full of disdain for such self-righteous argument.
Alas, you can't say that. Even if Ran He did her fault, they were once a family after all. If you don't even give her enough food to survive, isn't that pushing her to a dead end? Isn't it too cruel and heartless to do this?
In Zhu Cuihua's heart, Ran He deserves at least half of the credit for the huge income Wu Xu brings back every month.
Now Ran He only wants some food, not money.
On the contrary, Wu's mother and others seemed to have taken great advantage, and they still had the nerve to talk here and talk about not providing food. Their hearts are colder than hard stones!
Besides, whether they divide the family or not is none of other people’s business.
Why do some people always hope that Ran He's life will be full of hardships, as if other people's misfortunes can be their fun?
The mentality behind this is really chilling!
"Ran He, is that true?"
The village chief's voice was gentle but with a hint of inquiry. His face, full of traces of time, turned to Ran He.
There was anticipation and caution in his eyes.
After getting Ran He's firm nod in confirmation.
An important matter regarding the division of family property continues to move forward, and the air is filled with a tense and delicate atmosphere.
At Wu's mother's slightly stiff signal, Wu Ming and Xie Di began the arduous work of moving things.
Their movements were clumsy but determined. Heavy bags of grain were dragged out from the dark corners and appeared particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
No more, no less, exactly one hundred kilograms.
Calculated based on 70% of what Ran He deserves, that would be a heavy 70 kilograms.
It is enough to give an ordinary family a respite during difficult times.
However, just when everyone thought that the matter was about to be settled.
Ran He suddenly smiled, and in that smile there was both a bit of provocation and a bit of wisdom that saw through everything.
"Is this all the food in the house?"
Her words were gentle but powerful, like a flash of lightning in the summer, making everyone present feel nervous.
When Wu's mother heard this, her face turned pale instantly, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and even her words became fragmented.
Doubts surged in her mind like a tide. How did this little girl, who seemed to be indifferent to household chores, know the exact amount of food in the house? She even vaguely touched upon the secret that she had hidden in private.
"Of course... this is indeed all the food our family has."
Mother Wu's answer seemed helpless, and the hesitation in her tone was like a candle flame swaying in the night wind, flickering.
Ran He's eyes were deep and calm, as if he had already seen through the greed and cunning of human hearts.
She had witnessed Wu's mother's selfishness in countless family disputes, and knew that the other party would never give up any of her interests easily.
"Really? And what about the things in the cellar?"
Her words were calm but sharp, like an ice blade cutting through the cold wind. "I have been very tolerant and no longer want my share of the property. But if you still want to shirk your responsibilities, I am afraid I will have to take back my previous concession and insist on taking back the money I deserve!"
These words were spoken lightly, but they were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Everyone was shocked. The Wu family branch actually hid some grain that had not been mentioned before?
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking and confusing everyone present.
Mother Wu was filled with mixed feelings of anger and fear, her teeth were almost chattering.
She couldn't believe how Ran He had discovered her secret.
Under the sharp gaze of the village chief, Wu's mother's defenses collapsed bit by bit, and the panic in her heart grew like weeds.
