Chapter 10: Save the Child's Face
The space is vast and there is still a lot of room to be developed and utilized.
Although she had collected a lot of herbs in the mountains, most of the remaining ones were ordinary varieties. So after a simple sorting, she decided to give up this part of the resources.
Holding two handfuls of green wild vegetables in his hands, Ran He said to the children, "These are enough, let's go home."
Although the children did not respond verbally, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
They all followed their mothers on the mountain road home, full of energy and vitality.
As they crossed the ridges of the fields, they unexpectedly discovered that many brightly colored crayfish were being ruthlessly trampled.
Abandoned on the roadside, the glaring red color contrasts sharply with the surrounding green fields, making it particularly eye-catching.
These crayfish are often considered pests because of their strange appearance and the damage they cause to farmland, and few people know how to turn them into delicacies on the table.
Ran He asked Dabao to help pick up the wild vegetables, while he went closer to the abandoned crayfish.
Not far away, several farmers were busy digging lobster holes, intending to completely eliminate these "field pests".
Unable to bear the thought of wasting these fresh lives, Ran He politely asked the farmer who was working, "Excuse me, do you no longer need these crayfish? Can I take them home?"
Her voice was gentle and respectful, after all, these crayfish were abandoned on the ridge of the field.
But after all, it is someone else's territory. Taking it away without permission may cause misunderstandings and disputes.
"If you want to take this pest, what good can it do? It will only hurt people and destroy the fields. I wish I could get rid of it all."
There was a hint of impatience and contempt in the other party's tone, as if these lives were worthless in his eyes.
Ran He laughed secretly in his heart. The villagers here obviously didn't know how to appreciate the beauty of delicious food.
Therefore, even something as delicious as crayfish cannot escape the fate of being regarded as a disaster.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, a sly gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she had something in mind.
Ran He looked around, searching the simple environment, but regretfully found that there was no container suitable for holding these tiny lives.
So, she had an idea, bent down, pulled out a green branch from her feet, and began to weave with her nimble fingers.
The slender branches danced between her fingers, interweaving into a small basket that was both sturdy and delicate.
In just a few moments, a small basket capable of carrying life was completed.
She carefully picked up the crayfish that were still wriggling slightly.
Gently place them in a basket and cover with a thin layer of soil to ensure they can't escape easily while also preserving their vitality.
"Are you really going to take these pests away?"
Others looked at them with doubt.
Such organisms are usually fed to poultry or simply destroyed, with no thought of their other uses.
"If they are eaten properly, they will be a rare delicacy."
Ran He had already painted a series of delicious pictures in her mind: garlic, spicy, steamed... various ways of cooking crayfish were played out in her mind one after another, so that she could almost smell the tempting aroma.
"Eat? Ran's daughter-in-law, are you kidding me? How can you eat something so insignificant? Besides, I heard that the meat is thin, what's so good about it?"
Questioning voices rang out from the crowd, mixed with a bit of curiosity and disbelief.
Ran He smiled calmly and replied, "It's not really a tonic, but this is a recipe I created. There is a food shortage at home, and the children's growth cannot be affected. At least, it can keep them from being hungry for a while, which is good."
Her words revealed her helplessness and determination as a mother.
Thinking of all the injustices the Wu family had done to her, she made a secret decision in her heart.
Since she couldn't be given the respect she deserved here, she didn't have to be polite.
Sooner or later, the name Wu's mother will be remembered by everyone in an unusual way.
Her words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.
The whispers around gradually gathered into a river, and the topic all revolved around the fact that Wu Xu's monthly income all went into the hands of Wu's mother, the family's granary was closed, and he treated his wife and children extremely harshly, which made people sigh at the fickleness of the world.
"let's go."
Ran He was in a heavy mood and didn't notice it when he turned and left.
I had unknowingly become the object of everyone's sympathy, and the misunderstandings and prejudices I once had seemed to be slightly diluted at this moment.
When she returned home, the scene before her made her feel even colder.
Wu's mother was having a pleasant conversation with Xie Di, but when they saw Ran He come in, their smiles instantly disappeared and the atmosphere turned cold.
"Where have you gone to embarrass yourself again? If you continue to be entangled with Ma Er, how will the Wu family maintain its reputation? A letter of divorce, both of you go find your own way to live, don't let us be upset by watching you anymore!"
Wu's mother's words were like knives, and every word pierced people's hearts.
Before, Wu's mother only accused Ran He of being lazy and not caring about household chores, so she did not mention the divorce letter, fearing that things would become complicated after the second child came back.
But now, everything is different.
Ran He suddenly became interested in the money controlled by Wu's mother.
She also insisted on demanding a share of what Wu Xu brought home, which made Wu's mother feel unprecedentedly threatened.
"The most direct way is to let Ran He leave the Wu family. Once she loses this identity, she will naturally have no right to ask about the money."
Mother Wu was thinking silently in her heart.
"Grandma, Mom only took us to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables and caught these pests. We didn't go anywhere else."
Dabao straightened his little chest and defended He Yue righteously.
His words were sincere and firm, and he did not want to see any false blame fall on his mother.
"Digging wild vegetables is understandable, but what's the point of catching pests? Don't play tricks on me!"
Mother Wu couldn't find any flaws, so she could only sit down angrily, feeling indignant.
Although she and Xie Di are sisters-in-law in name, Ran He once taught Yao Zu and Yao Zhu a lesson by using a broom.
She had been holding a grudge and always wanted to regain some face for her child.
"Of course we catch bugs to eat them. Mom, what good dishes can we make in the kitchen tonight?"
There was a gleam of anticipation and a hint of cunning in Ran He's eyes, as if he had already foreseen the miracle that would be created on the table with these crayfish.
Needless to say, her deepest worry was actually the increasingly scarce food reserves at home.
Even though the eggs in the chicken coop were piled up like a mountain, only a few were consumed.
But it was like depriving the family of the diligent old hen that laid eggs, causing waves of dissatisfaction and uproar.
When Wu's mother heard the voice, Ran He's desire for food instantly touched her nerves.
She quickly stopped at the kitchen threshold, like an indestructible barrier, fearing that Ran He would squander the precious food again.
