Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

Once we give her the money, it will be difficult for us to ask for more money in the future."

Although the idea of ​​providing assistance was selfish, the sister-in-law understood that in the long run, Wu's mother's son was a trump card they could rely on in the future.

Brother He, however, was dismissive of this, as he knew his sister's character very well.

She has been weak in character since childhood, and her mother's family is more important than Mount Tai in her heart. Even if what she said today was harsh, as long as she feels the warmth from her family at some point in the future, Mother Wu will still be willing to run around for her mother's family.

"Don't worry. If Wu Xu really brings back the money, we can bring some gifts and go to her house to apologize. What else can she say in public?"

He said with confidence.

The sister-in-law thought about it and realized that the previous minor frictions were handled in this way. In the end, Mother Wu returned to her old way of running around for her parents' home.

Mother Wu returned to Xiaohe in a daze, as if her soul had been sucked out of her.

Xie Di couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, is the money coming back? Let's go to town early. Yaozu and Yaozhu are clamoring for candy all day long."

"sugar……"

These simple words seemed to have touched the most sensitive nerve of Wu's mother. She responded in a trance: "The Su family didn't give it. They said they couldn't do anything about it."

"How is it possible?! Mom, have the Su family really turned against us?"

Xie Di's voice was full of astonishment and reluctance. If the funds could be recovered smoothly, it would be enough to ease their life pressure for a period of time.

Mother Wu quietly pushed open the door and stepped into the house with a heavy step.

Inside the house, Wu Younian was leaning on the warm kang, slowly puffing out smoke rings from the old pipe in his hand. In the swirling smoke, his sharp eyes instantly penetrated the calm appearance that Wu's mother barely maintained and captured the waves in her heart.

"Hmph," accompanied by the cold snort from Wu's mother and sister-in-law, a hint of chill seemed to condense in the air.

Her voice was filled not only with disdain, but also with a sharp sarcasm, like an invisible dagger, mercilessly slashing through Mother Wu's heart.

"The family you talked about day and night, the safe haven you talked about, the place you thought would always open its arms to welcome you, now it seems to be nothing more than a mirage. Are you satisfied with such indifference and such ruthlessness? Open your eyes and take a look. This is the family you have always protected. Have you ever really seen through their true face?"

Mother Wu's lips were tightly pursed into a line, and her heart seemed to be filled with mixed feelings, with bitterness, anger, and unwillingness all mixed together and surging.

What her elder brother did was like a sharp dagger, piercing into the softest part of her heart again and again, cutting her last bit of hope into pieces.

She secretly swore in her heart that as long as Wu Xu could become successful one day, she would never allow the Su family to have the slightest chance to share the hard-earned glory and fruits.

"I really didn't expect that they would be so heartless that they were unwilling to lend a helping hand in the face of our difficulties."

There was a slight tremor in Wu's mother's words, a kind of loss and hurt that was difficult to conceal.

She tried to confide in Wu Younian, and her words contained both blame for herself and deep confusion about human nature.

Wu Younian looked deeply at everything in front of him. He knew clearly how his mother felt about her family, but at the same time, he also knew the character of those people well.

He had advised Wu's mother several times not to help her mother's family without limits. Such actions were like throwing stones into a bottomless pit. Apart from causing a few meaningless ripples, they would not bring any substantial help, let alone gratitude.

"It is precisely because of your kindness and weakness that they cling to you like blood-sucking leeches and squeeze out all your value."

Wu Younian's words were full of helplessness. Looking at the depressing atmosphere at home and the distraught look of Wu's mother, he knew that perhaps only the news about Wu Xu could bring a spark of hope to this family and Wu's mother.

At this moment, a burst of hurried and energetic footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the dullness in the room.

The appearance of a messenger was like a meteor across the gloomy sky, bringing an unexpected light to this depressing space.

Xie Di was originally wandering aimlessly in the courtyard with a sad face, but when she learned that the letter was sent by Wu Xu, her eyes suddenly lit up like the brightest stars in the night sky. She was instantly full of energy and almost rushed to the messenger, impatiently snatching the letter from his hand.

In the past, Wu Xu's letters were not only full of love and care for the younger generations in his family, but also included some silver, which was undoubtedly a timely rain for the Gu family, which was currently struggling financially.

"Mom and Dad, Wu Xu's letter has arrived!"

When Wu's mother heard the news, she felt like she was given a shot of cardiac stimulant. Her originally depressed mental state suddenly changed. She sat up abruptly from the edge of the bed, her eyes flashing with a long-lost brilliance.

"Really? Show me now."

She took the letter with both hands, which trembled slightly due to excessive excitement. This tiny movement revealed her deepest desire and expectation.

However, when the envelope was carefully opened, there was only a thin piece of letter paper inside, and no trace of any copper coins or silver notes.

At this moment, everyone's heart cooled, and the fire of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished in an instant.

They were looking forward to Wu Xu's letter, not for the comfort of the words, but for the financial support that could rescue them from their dire straits.

Deep in Xie Di's heart, that faint light for the future still flickered stubbornly, like a candle in the dark night, refusing to go out easily.

She knew clearly that ever since Ran He resolutely chose to go his separate ways and set up his own business, Wu Xu, the only remaining pillar of the family, should have provided the Gu family with everything it had.

"Mother, why don't we calm down and read the letter carefully? Maybe Wu Xu has hidden deep meaning between the lines, and even specified who will receive the money on our behalf."

There was a hint of determination in her eyes and her words were full of persistence in not wanting to give up.

Mother Wu's fingers trembled slightly, as if she was holding not only a thin piece of letter paper, but the weight of the fate of the entire family.

She slowly unfolded the letter, and the expression on her face changed unpredictably in an instant, a mixture of joy and worry, making it difficult to read.

"Wu Xu...he said he wanted to go home?"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, with an air of incredible surprise.

"go home?"

Xie Di's expression flashed with surprise, but she was immediately pulled back by the burden of reality. "How could he, a bodyguard working outside, suddenly want to return to this poor life? When he returns home, who will continue to shoulder the burden of supporting his family?"
