Chapter 70 Missed opportunity
Every crack did not escape their sharp eyes.
Lying on the bed were new clothes that Ran He had bought from the town specifically for the child. These were gifts full of maternal love and surprise, but unexpectedly, they had caught the eyes of the Gu family in advance.
Looking at those new clothes with bright colors and fine textures, the Gu family members' eyes revealed jealousy that was hard to conceal.
When they divided the family property, they only gave Ran He the most basic food, without giving her a penny. But now, by selling herbs, she not only has meat for every meal, but also has new clothes.
These pieces of clothing are worth at least two or three taels of silver. Ran He's love and devotion to life make bystanders sigh at his generosity.
Xie Di's eyes involuntarily fell on the children's clothes, and a trace of greed flashed through her heart.
She thought to herself, it would be such a dignified thing if Yaozu and Yaozhu could also wear such new clothes.
Before the family split up, Wu's mother might have been able to rely on her status to forcibly seize one or two things, but today, she can only watch from afar, feeling resentful in her heart.
Although Ran He was watching closely from the side, warning from time to time: "Be careful, if you damage anything, you must pay for it according to the price, and put it back to me after searching. If the Gu family is not short of money, just throw it to me."
Faced with such a tough attitude, even though the Gu family was furious, they could only fiddle with the objects carefully, for fear that they would accidentally give Ran He something to talk about.
In fact, the real treasure in this house has not yet been made public by Ran He.
Inside the bedroom, apart from an old wooden table, a simple bed and a few pieces of clothing, there wasn't much furnishings and one could see everything at a glance.
However, Wu's mother was obviously not willing to give up. She did not even let go of the most inconspicuous corners. After a search, she found that what Ran He said was true. Those imaginary gold and silver treasures seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.
In desperation, the family had to turn to the kitchen to continue searching.
In the kitchen, the meat that Ran He had purchased during this period was piled up like a mountain.
Five fat pigs from the West Village, plus two strong cows and sheep, although only a small part was taken out and placed on the chopping board, the rest were either made into fragrant bacon or lay quietly in her mysterious space.
If all the meat were presented in front of you at the same time, the spectacular sight would probably be enough to make people jaw-dropping, and the visual impact alone would be enough to make people tremble with fear.
To Ran He, the little bit of meat displayed outside was just a part of life necessities, enough for her and her son's daily consumption, but in the eyes of the Gu family, this was undoubtedly an extreme luxury.
The beams in the kitchen were hung with all kinds of smoked meat - five pieces of pork, chicken, duck, and two fat rabbits. As soon as you entered the door, the rich aroma of meat hit your nose, making you salivate.
The Gu family members' eyes were bright red as if burned by the fire of jealousy. They tried hard to suppress the greed in their hearts. Their expressions became distorted, as if every muscle was telling of their unwillingness and pain.
Everyone who had been looking forward to seeing Ran He make a fool of himself now found themselves becoming a laughing stock in the eyes of others. The situation turned around so quickly that it caught everyone off guard.
The village chief stood aside with a look of astonishment on his face. He was completely unaware of the fact that Ran He was selling herbs privately.
Looking at the pieces of meat hanging all over the room, he couldn't help but wonder how much money this would cost.
When the family was divided, Ran He had nothing and was poor. Now, the meat hanging all over the house was undoubtedly an irrefutable piece of evidence, pointing directly to the suspicion that Ran He had embezzled property.
Just as the village chief was about to ask a question, his eyes inadvertently swept across the faces of the Gu family members, who were both aggrieved and jealous. No one dared to be the first to question it. Everyone's face was filled with complex emotions, which shook his confidence.
He wondered in his heart whether there was some hidden secret that he had not yet touched or understood.
In his mind, Ran He's previous warning was like lightning across the night sky. She had said that he would eventually regret helping the Gu family.
At that time, he just thought it was a joke and ignored it, but now, looking at this delicate situation, an unknown worry quietly grew in his heart.
If he had the chance to do it again, he might choose to remain silent to avoid getting into trouble.
This scene was seen by Zhu Cuihua who was standing by. She swallowed her saliva exaggeratedly and was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment and could not find the right words to describe the scene before her.
Even if all the meat in the entire village were gathered together, it would probably not be comparable to the amount in Ran He's house.
It is quite ironic that those who were originally looking forward to seeing Ran He make a fool of himself ended up becoming the biggest joke.
At this moment, the last trace of doubt in Zhu Cuihua's heart disappeared.
Ran He's calm attitude undoubtedly announced to everyone that everything was within her expectations.
Next, she only had to watch coldly and see how the Gu family members suffered and struggled on their own.
"You are free to search the kitchen. Be careful and don't miss the pile of junk in the corner. Do you really think I would hide jewelry among those inconspicuous things? Search everywhere. Why do you always circle around my flesh?"
Ran He leaned against the door frame, directing the search in a light but firm tone. He was not afraid at all, but seemed to expect them to turn the kitchen upside down to prove his innocence.
With every word Ran He uttered, the expressions of the Gu family became increasingly gloomy, as if a clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, foreshadowing an impending storm. They looked ashen and extremely nervous.
"Do you really think I'd be stupid enough to hide jewelry in my meat? If you have any doubts, just tell me. I'll slice, dice or mince it if you want me to."
Ran He held a kitchen knife in his hand, calmly awaiting their accusations, while the Gu family members clenched their teeth and remained speechless.
There was nothing in their eyes except uncontrollable greed.
After all, who can remain indifferent in the face of such a wide variety of meat?
If the meat had not been uncooked, they would have rushed forward impatiently to feast on it.
Furthermore, the meat is firm and compact, with clear texture, and there is absolutely no possibility of any foreign matter. It is purely naturally grown deliciousness, impeccable.
After a meticulous search, almost all objects in the kitchen, big and small, were moved, the dishes in the cupboard were scattered all over the floor, the drawers were opened and slammed one by one, and even every inch of the gap under the pots and pans was not left out. However, the lost jewelry was still nowhere to be found, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Even the usually calm village chief frowned at this moment, with a hint of unconcealable displeasure flashing in his eyes.
