But this doesn't mean we are at fault. After this, we are even. If you come to trouble us again because of Ran Erni's work, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wu Younian's words were firm and decisive; this concession was his bottom line.

For him, this compromise was the last time he cared about the old friendship.

Next time, I won't be so magnanimous.

Although He Feng was unwilling, considering that he did gain some advantage, he temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction and decided not to care about it.

After leaving the Wu family, he did not choose to leave in a hurry. Instead, he began to walk around the village and asked neighbors about Ran He's address.

He was thinking about finding Ran He and discussing the series of events caused by her. After all, Lanfen lost her job, and it was reasonable for Ran He to give her appropriate compensation.

At this time, the setting sun slowly sank into the horizon like a tired traveler. Ran He finished his busy day of processing mushrooms and immediately went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

At noon, because I had to see patients in the clinic, the children's lunch had to be rushed, so dinner naturally had to be prepared with much more care to satisfy the children's taste buds.

In the kitchen, the hot oil makes a pleasant sizzling sound when it meets the ingredients, and one dish after another gradually appears: the tender and juicy stir-fried pork belly, the attractive color and fragrant twice-cooked pork, the sweet and sour spare ribs, and the mouth-watering braised chicken. Finally, it is served with a bowl of fresh and elegant vegetable and tofu soup, which not only satisfies the taste buds but also helps to help digestion and relieve greasiness.

The smoke from the cooking stove danced in the breeze, and the aroma of meat drifted freely in the air, attracting the neighbors around. Even if they only ate coarse grains, they couldn't help but think of the wonderful taste of the meat, as if they were already chewing the long-desired meat in their mouths.

It was this fragrance that completely attracted He Feng who had just arrived at Ran He's house.

Although the He family had no shortage of labor, their new house had just been built and their financial situation was tight. Meat became a rare item on the table and was rarely seen for ten days or half a month.

Faced with this sudden and extremely rich aroma of meat, the glutton in He Feng's stomach could not give up easily and it almost broke through the constraints of reason.

"Boom boom boom!"

He Feng knocked on the door hard, trying his best to suppress the urge to drool.

Standing here, who else could the rich meaty aroma come from except the Ran He family? In his opinion, Ran He was a little rash and reckless. She was able to establish herself so quickly after the separation. Not only did she collect herbs and see patients, but even mushrooms and fungus became high-priced commodities in her hands. This way of making money made him very envious.

If Ran He had not separated from the Wu family, he would still be controlled by Wu's mother. As her uncle, how could he not enjoy these benefits, and he would not endure Wu Younian's unfriendly look.

Ran He had just put dinner on the table when there was a hurried knock on the door. The slightly impatient rhythm told her that the visitor was not Zhu Cuihua and others, whom she was usually close to.

With a clear mind, Ran He gently opened the door, but deliberately blocked his body between the door frames to prevent the visitor from easily peeking into the house.

The person who came was He Feng, which surprised Ran He, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was reasonable.

Witnessing the scene of Ran Erni being fired by the owner of the drug store in town today, I'm afraid the truth has come to light. The purpose of He Feng's trip is self-evident.

"Yueyue, why don't you invite your uncle into the house and sit down?"

He Feng poked his head around, especially when he saw the mouth-watering meat dishes on the table, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he wanted to pounce on them and devour them immediately.

However, Ran He was guarding the door strictly and ignored him no matter how he gestured.

"Uncle? Whose uncle? I've never heard of any brothers or sisters on my mother's side."

Ran He did not respond to He Feng's words. There was a sneer on his face, and the sarcasm was self-evident.

In her opinion, if Wu's mother was like this, the He family was not much different, all of them were selfish.

When He Feng heard this, his expression froze, and then he glared back in dissatisfaction, "Yueyue, how can you say that? Even if you and the Wu family have separated, how can the family ties with your mother be severed? I have spoken well of you in front of your mother."

Ran He sighed, rubbed his forehead, and thought to himself that He Feng was from another village after all, so it was understandable that he didn't know the inside story.

"What does it have to do with me if you say nice things to someone? I have already completely cut off ties with the Wu family. Even if there is any connection, how dare those distant relatives come to claim to be relatives and uncles? I'm afraid that your shamelessness would make even the bark of an old pine tree ashamed."

He Feng couldn't even win a debate with Wu Younian on a normal day, let alone meet the sharp-tongued Ran He, so he could only admit defeat.

He originally thought that his humble attitude would be enough to make Ran He consider their old friendship, but he didn't expect that the other party would not buy it at all. His cold and hard attitude made him so angry that he almost wanted to take action.

"Girl, why are you so rude? Don't you understand the principle of respecting the elderly?"

He Feng still acted like an elder, as if nothing in the outside world could shake him in the slightest.

Ran He's heart seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, with mixed emotions, and an indescribable helplessness and anger surging in his chest.

She sighed softly, turned around and tried to close the door, trying to block out the disturbing noise outside.

However, in the blink of an eye, He Feng seemed to have foreseen her movements. He nimbly stretched out a foot and stuck it firmly in the gap of the door that was about to close, preventing the door from closing and interrupting Ran He's hope of returning to a peaceful life.

"Wait, I have something urgent to talk to you about! You may not know that because of you, Lanfen...she lost her job and her life fell into trouble. You have to take some responsibility. Even if you don't want to acknowledge me as your uncle, as long as you still have a trace of conscience in your heart, you should fight for those two precious mushroom picking quotas for Lanfen and her daughter. After all, this is not a big sacrifice."

There was a sense of matter-of-factness in He Feng's tone, as if all his requests were so reasonable, which made Ran He feel both amused and furious.

Chewing on He Feng's words secretly in his heart, Ran He couldn't help but complain that his face was probably made of the strongest metal - titanium alloy, otherwise how could he be so shameless.

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, but it was also mixed with cold sarcasm.

"Your mother and I are truly blood relatives. What does Ran Erni's unemployment have to do with me? To be honest, I really didn't go to her pharmacy to buy herbs on purpose, just to make things difficult for her and let her know that the world is not what she wants it to be. What can you do to me? You want me to take responsibility? Oh, isn't your brain filled with a mixture of dirt and feces? Rather than letting a person like Ran Erni defile my mushroom forest, I would rather leave these opportunities to the beggars on the street. At least they know how to be grateful.
