Chapter 66: Taking advantage of others
How could Wu's mother listen to all this? The only thought in her mind was to settle the score with Ran He.
"Ran He, not only did you steal the money, you also ruined Wu Yue's happiness! I will definitely take this debt!"
Her tone was firm and did not allow for any negotiation.
Seeing this, Wu Younian realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to go to Ran He in person to find out what was going on.
Although Wu's mother was reluctant, she was involved in this major event that concerned her future, and had no choice but to go along.
So, the group marched towards Ran He's house with anger and determination.
This unusual momentum even attracted the attention of Zhu Cuihua who was working in the field.
She stopped what she was doing and looked at the group of people in the distance. She couldn't help but speculate in her heart: "It seems that the Wu family is going after Ran He. How can a girl like Ran He withstand the accusations of their entire family? Well, no matter what the cause is, if this situation continues, Ran He will probably suffer a great loss."
As she thought about it, her hands naturally dropped down, and her gaze followed the crowd that was gradually moving away, unwilling to look away for a long time.
"Mom, if you can't finish the work in the fields, go back first. I'll come over tomorrow morning to do the rest. I have something urgent to deal with right now."
Zhu Cuihua spoke in a firm tone, with an unquestionable determination revealed between her brows. Without saying a word, she dropped the hoe in her hand, and followed closely behind Ran He.
The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappling onto her hurried figure, reflecting her determination to never leave.
A warm feeling surged in Ran He's heart, and she cherished this friendship that she regarded as a close friend.
In this village where people are so cold and indifferent, it is rare to have a friend who stands up like this.
Ran He's eyes softened, as if the most brilliant flowers could bloom in this barren land.
Zheng Yanhong's face was filled with sorrow. She looked at Zhu Cuihua's receding back with complicated eyes. Her lips were slightly parted, but then tightly closed. It seemed that there were thousands of words stuck in her throat, difficult to express.
In this gossipy village, real help is scarcer than gold.
In her eyes, the best way to get along with each other is for each of them to take care of the housework and not interfere with each other.
Ran He has never had a peaceful life since she set up her own business. She secretly wondered in her heart, how can she rely on others' help every time?
"Ugh."
Zheng Yanhong sighed inwardly. Her dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law Ran He was not out of personal grudge, but because her actions always caused trouble and made the family uneasy almost every day.
If it were my own child, I would probably have been furious and unbearable.
The group of people walked aggressively through the dust and headed straight for Ran He's house.
Xie Di took big steps, raised her arms high, and knocked hard on the wooden door. Every "dong dong"
The sounds echoed in this quiet village, sounding particularly harsh.
Ran He had just stepped into the house and had not yet put down the package on his shoulder when he casually took out a few candies from it, handed them to the children who gathered around him with a smile, and sent them to play with Erxi, completely unaware that a storm was quietly approaching.
Although Ran He was a little surprised that Wu's mother and her friends came uninvited, he already had a premonition.
The door hinge hummed softly, Ran He stood on the threshold and asked coldly: "What can I do for you?"
She did not invite anyone in, but stood in the middle of the door, using her body to build a barrier, as if silently declaring the boundary.
"Ran He, did you steal our money? You despicable thing, if you don't return the money to me today, I will hang myself at your doorstep!"
Mother Wu's voice was sharp, a mixture of anxiety and anger. She had lost her usual composure and could only turn all her doubts and anxieties into insults, hoping to threaten Ran He with this.
Ran He, however, looked indifferent, with a casual smile on his lips, as if everything in front of him was just an ordinary neighborhood chat.
"Your family lost money? What does this have to do with me?"
Her words were relaxed and at ease, not at all like the reaction of someone who had been wronged.
"Stop pretending to me!"
There was a hint of hysteria in Wu's mother's voice. Her sharp eyes quickly swept around the room, finally settling on the shiny pieces of pork belly on the table. The meat was bright in color and had clear textures, and just one glance at it made people salivate.
Thinking of the delicacies that he had to give up many times due to financial difficulties, and then seeing Ran He squandering them like this, the jealousy and anger in his heart instantly boiled over.
"You are the one who harbored resentment after the family division. You must have stolen the money in the family! Where did you get the money to buy meat? This meat weighs at least 10 kilograms. You are a girl whose conscience has been eaten by dogs. Return the money quickly."
Mother Wu's emotions were out of control and she was about to go forward and grab Ran He, but the latter dodged her nimbly and instead she stumbled and fell to the ground in a miserable state.
The Wu family members wanted to step forward together to support their family, but when they saw Ran He's cold and steady face, an inexplicable pressure made them slow down their pace involuntarily. Their originally high momentum was like a punctured balloon, and it instantly wilted.
Everyone's heart was beating like a rabbit, and they were filled with unknown fear and anxiety about what was about to happen.
"You're welcome. I think you're confused. That's why you broke into my house, spoke incoherently, and made a scene!"
Ran He's feet were firmly on the hem of Wu's mother's skirt. The steady force made Wu's mother dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning, and she almost fainted.
Seeing this tense scene, Xie Di intervened hastily and rebuked Ran He: "Although you and Wu Xu have not officially divorced, she is Wu Xu's mother after all. If you anger her like this, if something happens to the old lady, do you think Wu Xu will forgive you easily?"
She did this not only to calm the situation, but her deeper intention was to let Wu's mother know who would be the one who could support her in her later years.
"Whether Wu Xu forgives me or not is none of your business. I have long since severed ties with the Wu family. To me, you are nothing more than strangers who passed by on the road. Suppose one day someone you don't know comes to you and accuses you of stealing without reason. Would you be angry and even want to teach her a lesson?"
Ran He's words were sharp and hit the point directly, leaving Xie Di speechless for a moment. After all, her eloquence was far inferior to Ran He's, so how could she win in this verbal battle.
However, Wu Ming and his mother were not so easily fooled.
To them, the money lost by Wu's mother was also part of the family's common property.
At this moment, apart from Wu's mother, the two of them were the ones most eager to get the lost money back.
"Everyone knows that you have been holding a grudge for a long time because of the division of the family property. You must know how much money there is in the family. Perhaps you happened to see your mother withdrawing money one day, and you took the opportunity to take revenge and stole all the money!"
