Chapter 135: Chess Pieces That Can Be Discarded at Will
Even after applying the ointment that was always available at home, the pain still lingered. I guess this weak body would have to stay in bed and rest for three or two days before there would be some improvement.
But all this ended up with nothing in the end. Not only did she fail to get what she wanted, but she also got a few scars for no reason. She didn't get even the slightest benefit. The frustration and anger in her heart made her grit her teeth in hatred, as if even the roots of her teeth were aching.
This situation proves the old saying that when you are unlucky, you can choke even when drinking cold water. It is absolutely true.
Wu Younian, the elder of the family, had a pipe in his mouth. His weathered eyes were as sharp as an eagle. Just a glance from him made He Feng's heart tremble.
Wu Younian has never had much good feelings towards this brother-in-law who always claims to care about his sister but is actually full of calculations.
If it weren't for the complicated blood relationship, I would have rejected him long ago to avoid defiling my peaceful place.
He Feng was filled with rage, and as soon as he entered the room, he began to criticize others with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
"Sister, your performance this time is so disappointing. You can't even deal with Ran He. Do you know that because of your momentary incompetence, Lanfen lost her job! You are responsible for this matter! Lanfen originally hoped that the job would bring her a rich husband, but now, all her beautiful visions have turned into bubbles!"
After saying this, he sat down on the kang with a swagger and pushed all the responsibility onto the innocent mother Wu.
In his opinion, although Ran He had parted ways with the Wu family, as the elder sister, Wu's mother naturally had the responsibility to discipline her younger sister, so naturally, she became his punching bag.
Everyone in the Wu family had a sullen look on their faces, as if they were shrouded in a thick dark cloud, and displeasure was written all over their faces.
Regardless of what Wu's mother said to He Feng in private, this is the Wu family's world and their home court.
As for Ran Erni's thoughts, outsiders may find it difficult to guess, but in the eyes of the Wu family, how could her attitude towards Ran He escape their keen observation? In their hearts, they actually did not give Ran He too much respect.
"Uncle, what you said is not right. Ran Erni lost her job, why should our Wu family take the blame? Ran He has long drawn a clear line with our family. We have no right to interfere in her affairs, and we are too lazy to do so. What's more, my mother did not pat her chest to guarantee success at the beginning. It was you who insisted on your own way and wishful thinking. Even if Ran Erni had not been arrogant and incompetent, and had spoken coldly to Ran He, causing Ran He to be unwilling to help in her pharmacy, how could the store owner indirectly cause trouble for her? In the final analysis, this is her own fault. What has our Wu family got to do with it?"
Wu Yue could no longer hold back and retorted angrily.
Thinking of how her uncle had borrowed money from the Wu family for many years, saying it was a loan but never returning it, forcing her to use her own dowry to supplement the family income, she had already been filled with anger.
After all, the essence of the problem lies with Ran Erni herself.
He Feng blindly defended his sister and naturally pushed all the mistakes onto her, trying to let the Wu family clean up the mess of this farce.
Little did he know that he thought he had found Wu's mother's weakness, but he didn't understand that the Wu family had been holding a grudge against him for a long time. If he went to their house today, he would probably only end up in trouble and get rejected.
"What does this have to do with you, little girl? When adults are talking, children should stop interrupting. Just go play quietly!"
He Feng was so furious at Wu Yue's words that he lost his temper and the composure that an elder should have.
Upon hearing this, Wu Younian slammed the pipe in his hand heavily on the table. The crisp sound contained displeasure and warning: "Oh, you are really putting on airs! My daughter can't speak on my Wu family's territory? Has this house become your He family's private territory, and you can do whatever you want?"
Wu Younian's authority in the family cannot be underestimated. Once he showed his power, He Feng, who had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, immediately restrained himself a little. Even though he was still unhappy in his heart, he had to put on a show of being happy.
"Well, even though I have said that, I am also extremely worried. Ran He is acting more and more recklessly now, and our Wu family is more or less involved. Look, Lan Fen lost her job, and the mother and daughter are crying like flowers wet by rain. There is no deep friendship between Ran He and I, and this matter will ultimately have to be resolved by your Wu family."
Although Wu Younian was already showing his anger, He Feng's tone softened unconsciously, but the meaning of his words was still stubborn. He insisted that the Wu family take responsibility and was unwilling to give up.
Mother Wu's heart was as cold as ice. The frozen despair was like the biting cold wind in winter, blowing out the last bit of warmth in her heart.
The memory of the unfair treatment she received from her mother's family was like a sharp blade, cutting her fragile heart again.
At that time, facing He Feng's indifference and alienation, she could still force herself to make excuses for him and find a glimmer of rationality for his behavior.
But today, when he took the initiative to step into the door and saw her haggard, lying on the bed, covered with scars, instead of feeling the slightest bit of distress, he scolded her coldly and asked her to deal with Ran Erni's trivial matters.
Even the few sincere words from the innocent Qing'er were subject to such a scolding, which made Wu's mother deeply realize that in He Feng's eyes, his married daughter had already lost the flesh and blood affection and became a chess piece that could be placed at will.
Normally, perhaps in calm days, he could barely maintain superficial courtesy and false harmony, but once there was a crack in the family's interests, the ugly face hidden behind the hypocritical smile would be exposed.
At this moment, Wu's mother was filled with remorse and hated her own naivety. She had foolishly misappropriated the Wu family's savings to fill the bottomless pit of her mother's family, just to leave herself a glimmer of hope. Now it seems that this was undoubtedly a kind of almost stupid self-deception.
"The dispute between Ran He and Lan Fen began after she resolutely drew a line between us and the Wu family. Since we have long since stopped interfering with each other, how can we talk about responsibility? Where she chooses to sell herbs is completely her personal choice and freedom, and we have no right to interfere. If you think you have the ability, you can go to her to negotiate and resolve it. The Wu family can do nothing about this."
Wu Younian's eyes were as indifferent as water as he gently swept across He Feng's face, his words revealing an unquestionable determination.
If He Feng still intends to rely on this in-law relationship for help, he must be aware that the Wu family will no longer lend a helping hand.
Even when facing a breakup, Wu Younian remained fearless.
"You guys, just want to stay out of this?!"
