Chapter 145: One knife cuts two
I picked up some broken mushrooms to make up the numbers. But today Ran He was very strict in his inspection, and Ran Erni was caught red-handed on the spot."
After hearing this, Wu Younian became furious. He slammed the pipe in his hand heavily on the table. The sound was like thunder, which made everyone present tremble, especially Ran Erni. A look of fear flashed across her face, knowing that she had made a big mistake this time.
However, in Ran Erni's view, everything she did was for the sake of her family. Wasn't every extra penny she earned meant to make life better for her family? Why do people change so easily in the face of difficulties? "It's easy to share wealth, but it's hard to share adversity." This sentence echoed in her heart again and again, like a thorn that hurt her heart.
Wu Younian sighed, his tone mixed with helplessness and reproach: "Lanfen, how can I blame you? I finally got a chance to make money, but because of your greed, everything went down the drain. You should go and apologize to Ran He sincerely. Keeping this job is the key."
Although Wu's mother was lying in bed feeling unwell, she was still worried.
She knew very well that not only was her own movement restricted at this moment, but the burden of life for her entire family had become even heavier because of her injuries.
If she loses her mushroom picking job, it means that the family's financial resources will be in trouble again. She doesn't want to see the days of being stretched to the limit and tightening her belt.
Wu Yue's face was as cold as ice, and her anger was evident in her words: "It's too late now. Ran He has publicly announced that Ran Erni will no longer be allowed to participate in mushroom picking, and even if she does, she will not be accepted. Our Wu family has also lost the qualification to pick mushrooms. All this is because we were too clever and got burned by ourselves."
After hearing these words, the last bit of hope in Wu's mother's heart completely vanished.
Ran Erni's job loss not only implicated her, but also the fate of the entire Wu family.
She couldn't help but start to regret. If she had been able to firmly reject He Feng's proposal, perhaps everything would not have developed to the point where it is today.
As an astute bystander, Xie Di had already sensed that something was wrong from Wu Yue's aggressive attitude the moment she entered the room, so she stood silently by the door, observing the development of the situation. Although she was angry, she was helpless as the overall situation had already been decided.
She secretly sighed, what kind of confused person would do such a stupid thing, it was simply brainless! But in a flash, she also realized that it was meaningless to blame Ran Erni for joining the mushroom picking team. Time will not go back, and reality cannot be changed.
She calmly analyzed, "It's useless to say this now. If I had gone with Ran Erni, I might have been able to sense that something was wrong and stop it in time, so that things wouldn't get to Ran He and expose the problem."
Taking this opportunity, Xie Di cleverly established herself as the wise man and decision-maker in the family, and quietly hinted to Wu Younian and Wu's mother that family affairs should be presided over by a rational and mature person like her, rather than simply indulging the children's mischief.
How could Wu Yue easily accept such an almost accusatory suggestion? She immediately retorted. The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense and a dispute was about to break out.
"Xie Di, stop being so sarcastic here. I don't believe you know Ran Erni better than anyone else."
Wu Younian slammed the table hard again, trying to calm the family dispute that was about to get out of control, but the pain and distress in his heart became more profound with each slam of his hand.
At this moment, another thought emerged in his mind. If Yan'er had been sent at that time, perhaps the result would have been completely different.
Yan'er always behaves properly and would never put the family in such an embarrassing situation.
But things in this world are unpredictable and regret is of no use. The most important thing at the moment is to face reality and find a new way out.
After all, the root cause of this unfortunate storm was Ran Erni's inadvertent mistake.
Just because of her mistake, it was like a domino effect. Under the chain reaction, the peaceful lives of the two families were instantly shattered and they fell into an unprecedented predicament.
Ran Erni seemed to have become an ominous star, and her name quietly became a taboo in the family.
"Lanfen, you should go back."
Mother Wu's voice was filled with subtle fatigue, and her eyelids slowly drooped, as if even looking at her one more time would be a burden.
"We have tried our best to make up for the losses you have suffered, but the current situation is difficult to deal with. It is ultimately your own choice and consequence. We are really helpless. From now on, no matter what happens at home, please don't come to our house again."
Every word of this sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ran Erni's heart, and also announcing some kind of indescribable separation.
Over the years, Wu's mother has always spared no effort to support the He family, and this effort even exceeds the care she gives to her husband's family.
She originally thought that blood ties could transcend everything, but she never expected that in the eyes of the He family, all of this was taken for granted and there was never any gratitude or warmth in return.
This made her years of hard work seem particularly ironic, like an absurd dream, which left her heart cold and empty when she woke up.
Between family and herself, Wu's mother finally came to the moment of decision.
At this moment, there is no more confusion in her heart, and she clearly realizes that keeping a certain distance may be the best option for both parties.
Upon hearing this, Ran Erni was stunned. Her eyes, full of doubt, did not reflect any of her aunt's former warmth.
Were these words spoken by the aunt who had always regarded the He family as her strong support and valued them so much? Could it be that she was going to sever the blood-related family ties once and for all?
"Did you hear me? Hurry up and leave! It's all because of you. We've lost so much too, and you still have the nerve to dawdle here!"
Wu Yue's voice was filled with unconcealable anger and dissatisfaction, and she blamed Ran Erni without a single bit of sympathy.
Such humiliation was an unprecedented blow to Ran Erni.
She did not argue, did not stop, but turned around resolutely, with firm steps and without the slightest hesitation, leaving her back to this place full of indifference and misunderstanding.
The Wu family's mansion was now shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere.
Although there has been a slight improvement recently, the road to the autumn harvest is still long and arduous, and it seems that we have to return to the days of frugality and careful budgeting.
However, at this moment, the villagers' excited calls came from outside the door, like a ray of sunshine penetrating the heavy haze: "Uncle Gu, your second son, Wu Xu, is back!"
This news was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing through every corner of the Wu family, and everyone in the family, young and old, was cheered up.
