He Feng slammed the table, his anger erupting like a volcano, unable to be suppressed.

However, Wu Younian still maintained his composure, as if facing a catastrophe. This composure not only came from his absolute confidence in his own territory, but also from his disdain for He Feng's attempt to disrupt the situation.

It is simply a pipe dream for He Feng to create some waves in this land.

"Brother-in-law, don't forget how much Mother Wu has contributed to your family over the years. I didn't know about it in the past, but now I know. The funds that were transferred without my consent should naturally be returned to me. I advise you to return every penny, otherwise it will be bad for both parties if we take it to the government."

He Feng's face changed constantly, he was filled with shame and anger. He originally wanted to gain some benefits from it, but ended up shooting himself in the foot. He also had to face such a direct threat. The frustration in his heart was indescribable.

"Really? My little sister can't even handle such a small matter. She should either keep silent about it or make the Wu family completely convinced and never mention it again. She is really incompetent!"

On the side, Xie Di took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, her words full of sarcasm: "Mom, you are not feeling well, why don't I accompany Qing'er to the back mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow?"

Trying to find a chance for himself amidst the chaos.

However, Wu Younian did not do as she wished and retorted firmly: "If both of you leave, who will do the housework? Who will cook the meals? Your mother is seriously ill in bed, how can you rely on her?"

Mother Wu's heart couldn't help but tighten. This sudden concern was like a long-lost ray of sunshine, penetrating the haze in her heart.

After being married for many years, Wu Younian's words made her feel unprecedented warmth and peace of mind.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. They obviously had not expected this. There were only three women in the family. If they all went out, wouldn't the men really have to intervene in the housework and farm work?

Wu Younian thought for a moment and made a decisive arrangement: "This way, you will take turns going, one person every day. Yan'er will stay at home to help take care of your mother first, and I will go to the fields alone to work."

This arrangement not only reflects the maintenance of order in the family, but also shows consideration for Wu's mother's situation, which eases the originally tense atmosphere slightly.

After all, no matter how fair it seems in the eyes of outsiders, his son still occupies an irreplaceable preference in Wu Younian's heart.

This preference is delicate and profound, like a mountain stream, imperceptible but always flowing.

Xie Di and Wu Yue's delicate emotional balance towards Wu Younian demonstrates the tacit understanding and tacit understanding that is unique to family members.

Xie Di, as the eldest sister in the family, has a strong blood relationship with her brother, which makes her silently support his choice. Wu Yue, as Wu Younian's wife, knows that her husband's inner balance will always inadvertently tilt towards his children, which makes her more tolerant and understanding.

He Feng's curiosity was instantly ignited, and his eyes flickered with a light of exploration of the unknown.

"Brother-in-law, this mushroom picking thing you mentioned doesn't sound simple. Ordinary people just pick some mushrooms in their spare time and eat them at home, but why did it become a major event for Ran He that required special arrangements?"

He Feng thought to himself, mushrooms in the forests are not difficult to find, so why should we take it so seriously?

Wu Younian did not hide it, because it was no longer a secret that the whole village participated in mushroom picking, and even the neighbor's cat knew something about it.

"This matter has to start with Ran He. I don't know what special use these mushrooms and fungus she got, but anyway, she encouraged everyone in the village, offered a price of three cents per pound, and asked each household to appoint two people to pick them full-time."

There was a hint of helplessness and a little admiration in Wu Younian's words. He was also curious and expectant about Ran He's actions.

He Feng was stunned when he heard this. Three cents per pound of mushrooms? This number quickly churned in his mind.

Assuming that one person can pick over 100 kilograms a day, that would be 300 wen. This income is almost the sum of Lanfen's hard work for half a month.

For a moment, He Feng suddenly realized that behind the harmony between the Wu family and Ran He, there was such an attractive chain of interests. No wonder the Wu family was so tolerant of Ran He.

Thinking of this, He Feng quickly suppressed his initial dissatisfaction and put on a flattering smile, "Brother-in-law, since Ran He has mobilized the entire village, can my Lan Fen and niece also get on this bus? Can you tell Ran He?"

He thought to himself that even if the opportunity was limited, he would grab every opportunity he could get. After all, this was a rare chance to make money.

However, Wu Younian's attitude was unexpectedly firm. "I can't make the decision on this matter. You know the situation between our two families. If you want to participate, go and discuss it with Ran He yourself."

There was a hint of fatigue in his tone. Wu Younian was fed up with the He family's constant attempts to get a piece of the pie.

The smile on He Feng's face froze and disappeared in an instant, replaced by obvious dissatisfaction, "We are all family, what's wrong with helping each other?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the people around him revealed obvious contempt and alienation - who really regarded him as a family member?

Looking at Wu's mother who was silent in the room, the anger in He Feng's chest grew more and more intense.

Why did his own sister always stand on the side of outsiders at critical moments? This scene made him extremely chilled.

"Well, in that case, I won't bother you to ask Ran He. My younger sister is injured and can't go out, and Yan'er has to take care of the farm work, so I plan to let Lan Fen go to help. When the time comes, we will split the money we earn in half."

He Feng's words were somewhat compromising, but also threatening. "Don't forget, if it weren't for Ran He, Lan Fen wouldn't have lost her job. In the final analysis, your Wu family should also take some responsibility. If this succeeds, we can write off those minor frictions in the past."

After saying this, he sat down on the kang with a swagger, as if he was determined to not give up until he achieved his goal.

Mother Wu was caught between the two sides, feeling mixed emotions.

The bond of blood makes it difficult for her to be as decisive as Ran He, but she understands that this is not a long-term solution.

Finally, she sighed, "Younian, since Lanfen doesn't have a job right now, let her go mushroom picking. It won't take too long. Finishing it early will also give us peace of mind. This way, we can solve a problem."

Today, Wu's mother's mentality has changed. Her mother's home, which she once regarded as a support, has now become a psychological burden to her.

Wu You glanced at his mother, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Finally, he nodded. Anyway, it was common for him and Yan'er to encounter wild mushrooms on the ridges of the fields when they went to the fields. If they finished work early and picked more for Ran He, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

"Okay, it's settled. But let me be frank, we let Ran Erni join because of our relationship.
