Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

Especially Wu's mother, even though she had unbearable back pain, she forced herself to get up and greet her long-lost son.

The previous moment I was worried about the lack of rice in the pot, and the next moment I seemed to see the dawn of hope.

For the Wu family, Wu Xu was a rare golden phoenix. When he was working outside, he would regularly send back two taels of silver every month, becoming an indispensable source of income for the family.

Now that he has returned, the silver he carries with him is enough to make the whole family forget their worries temporarily and immerse themselves in a brief joy.

Wu Younian led Wu Yue and several other children out of the house with great anticipation. They thought that if they left a good impression on Wu Xu, they might be able to get more benefits from him.

But when they stepped out of the house full of longing, the scene before them made everyone's smile freeze and their glasses almost fell off.

Wu Xu did not return home in glory, nor did he ride a tall horse in all the glory. Instead, he lay on a simple flatbed cart and was slowly pushed back by two villagers.

He was dressed simply, without any conspicuous decorations, and his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of shabbyness and desolation.

If he is a poor man, his clothes are clean and tidy; if he is still rich, why can't he even ride in an ordinary carriage?

This scene was like a basin of cold water in winter, extinguishing all the eager expectations in the Wu family's hearts.

"Ah Xu, how did you become like this?"

Wu Younian's voice was full of disbelief.

The son he was once most proud of had fallen into such a state. What hope could he have for the future? This feeling was like a field that he had worked so hard to cultivate, but was suddenly hit by natural disasters and man-made calamities, leaving him with nothing to harvest.

Wu Xu's face was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

Originally, he planned to teach the Wu family a lesson and let them realize that they could live well without him, but he was unexpectedly attacked on the way and his leg was seriously injured.

So, he took advantage of the sudden injury and used it to see the true attitude of the Wu family.

"I was careless when I was escorting the dart and was ambushed by the enemy. My leg is now broken."

Wu Xu's words sounded sad and serious, and everyone's faces showed a complex expression of disappointment and sympathy.

If his legs were disabled, it would mean that he would no longer be able to bring income to the Wu family and would become a burden to the family.

"Dad, you won't let me in?"

Wu Xu's simple words woke Wu Younian up from his dream.

Although his son lost a leg, the wealth he had accumulated as a bodyguard over the years could at least guarantee his own future life. This was what he deserved and was also a way of repaying the parents for raising him.

"Go and help, carry Ah Xu in first."

Even though there were no outsiders watching, the news quickly spread throughout the village.

On the one hand, people were glad for the return of the second young master of the Wu family; on the other hand, they were heartbroken to learn that the second young master had a serious leg injury and might never be able to stand up again, casting a heavy shadow over the fate of the entire family.

The villagers of Fushan Village gathered in groups of three or five under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, whispering about everything going on in Wu's mother's family.

On weekdays, Wu's mother loved to show off her son Wu Xu's success as a bodyguard, often saying: "When my son comes back, our family will be better off and good days are just around the corner."

However, at this moment, Wu Xu's return did not seem to be what she had hoped for. Could the good days she had been looking forward to still become a reality? And Ran He, the once unknown woman, now seemed to have changed into a different person. She was not only proficient in pharmacology and medicine, but also generously purchased mountain products. Her business was flourishing, and her income had obviously surpassed that of Wu Xu, the escort. This sudden change amazed the villagers.

Everyone privately speculated on Ran He's thoughts. If she really had the courage to divide the property with the Wu family, or even break up with Wu Xu completely, divorce would be expected.

There were also those who were curious and secretly speculated that if Ran He really parted ways with Wu Xu, wouldn't it leave others with an opportunity to take advantage of the situation? In their opinion, even though Ran He was a woman with a child, it didn't seem worth mentioning in the face of money. After all, in this remote village, many single men would not care so much for their livelihood.

When Wu Xu limped into the familiar yet unfamiliar home, the first thing that caught his eye was his haggard mother, Mother Wu, lying on the sickbed.

She seemed to be at a loss for words because of her son's sudden return home. Her dull eyes stayed on Wu Xu's inconvenient legs and feet, and surprise and uneasiness froze on her face in an instant.

This scene was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the warmth and joy that had just appeared in the home, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy and awkward.

Xie Di was happily preparing to go to the market to buy meat to give some good nourishment to Wu Xu who had just returned, but when she saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but stop.

She was thoughtful and decided to observe the reactions of her in-laws before deciding whether to continue preparing the celebratory meal.

Wu Younian deliberately acted like he was helpless and bent by the years. Every word he said seemed to blame Ran He for his ruthlessness and betrayal, but in fact every word was hinting at Wu Xu to take sides. He hoped that his son would stand on his side and condemn Ran He's faults together.

He had his own little plan in mind, guessing that Wu Xu had just returned home and was unaware of the changes in the village, so he started to criticize him unscrupulously.

Wu Xu's expression gradually became solemn, but he was not as ignorant as his father expected.

During his days outside, he had learned about the changes at home through various channels. Far from being disgusted by Ran He's behavior, he secretly approved of it.

What really curious him was the transformation of Ran He. How could the ignorant and indecisive woman in his memory suddenly become an independent, smart and capable woman? This change surprised and relieved him.

Returning to the Wu family instead of going straight to Ran He was a move he had considered carefully.

He wanted to use this opportunity to make the Wu family voluntarily give up him, whom they regarded as a "burden", so as to completely sever their ties with this family.

Over the years, the Wu family's excessive behavior had already exceeded his tolerance limit. He did not choose to take action personally, simply because he still had a trace of gratitude in his heart for his parents' upbringing.

As for money, Wu Xu knew that most of the money he earned had been withheld by his parents, and Ran He and his mother had not benefited from a penny, so he believed that neither party owed the other anything.

Wu Xu spoke calmly, revealing the indifference of having experienced many vicissitudes of life: "Dad, Mom, I have been living in the open air for these years, and I am exhausted both physically and mentally. Returning with injuries may be fate's arrangement. At least from now on, I don't have to wander around anymore and can be reunited with my family."

His words were sincere, but the indifference and calmness contained in them were ignored by Wu's mother and Wu Younian, who were only thinking about money.

For them, family ties always seem to be closely linked to interests.
