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

"Yes, family reunion is the most important thing."

Mother Wu echoed, with a helpless sigh in her tone.

Her eyes were full of calculation, almost overflowing from her eyes.

"It's just that Ah Xu, because of Ran He's incident, our family has been living very tight lately. It's just right that you're here. I heard that you're doing well out there, so you should have some savings, right? Why don't you give it to me first and I'll take care of it for you?"

The undisguised greed and directness of Wu's mother's words made Wu Xu, who had just entered the home, see the truest and most unbearable side of his loved one.

His eyes flickered slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although he was mentally prepared for his mother's greed, hearing such a blatant request with his own ears still made him feel mixed emotions.

"Mom, to be honest, I've already sent most of the money I earned back home. The rest I earned was used to treat my leg injury, plus the cost of hiring someone to escort me back home. I'm now penniless."

There was a subtle hint of disappointment and determination in Wu Xu's words.

Wu Xu deliberately carved out an expression of self-ashamedness, with his brows full of pretended helplessness and helplessness, like an autumn leaf swaying in the wind, longing to return to its roots yet appearing so fragile.

"However, blood is thicker than water. I believe that my family will not abandon me in the most difficult times. In the days to come, let us work hand in hand and fight together. I believe that there is light ahead and life will be better after the worst."

His tone was full of sincerity and expectation, trying to arouse the warmth in his family's hearts.

Wu's mother and Wu Younian looked at each other, their eyes filled with unconcealable contempt and disappointment.

They had originally hoped that their long-lost son would return like a savior, bringing wealth and glory and bringing a turnaround to the Wu family.

However, the reality was that instead of being loaded with gold and silver, they seemed to be planning to stay at home and rely on the support of their elders for the rest of their lives. This undoubtedly shattered their last fantasy.

The feeling of disappointment hung over them like a dark cloud. The expressions on their faces were even darker than those of eggplants hit by frost. The bitter smiles they forced out at the corners of their mouths were uglier than crying.

Wu Yue was also facing difficulties. Her family was already struggling financially and everyone was eyeing her dowry.

Wu Xu's return was undoubtedly like adding another heavy stone to the already shaky boat. If she became ill and needed medical treatment, or if her family's finances fell into trouble again, the first person to be targeted would undoubtedly be her, Wu Yue.

This undoubtedly intensified her inner worries and uneasiness. She must not let this sudden burden take root in the Wu family.

Mother Wu's mind was like a fine spider web, quietly weaving her plans for Ran He's savings.

Although Wu Xu has nothing, if he can persuade Ran He to donate generously, even if it is just a glimmer of hope, it can be regarded as the value of his existence and can barely be a reason to accept him.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to support a lazy person for no reason, who eats and uses the family's things?

"Ah Xu, you may not know that since Ran He left the Wu family, she has been living a comfortable life outside. She is very good at hiding her abilities. She knows pharmacology and medical skills, but she pretends to know nothing. After she drew a clear line with our Wu family, her life has been as comfortable as a fish in water."

Whenever this matter was mentioned, Wu's mother felt upset. Now Wu Xu's return unexpectedly ignited the last glimmer of hope in her heart. Even though Ran He had warned that no one should get anything through threats, the unwillingness in her heart was still stirring.

"Yes, Ah Xu, you are Ran He's husband and the father of the children. If you can persuade her to pay a hundred taels of silver for our Wu family every month, then our family can continue to live in harmony and happiness. Can you really bear to see your father and I in a miserable old age with no one caring about us?"

Although Wu Younian's voice was weak, it was firm in nature. On the surface he seemed to be begging, but in fact every word he said was forcing Wu Xu to make a decision.

Refusing means being labeled as unfilial.

But they never thought deeply, if Wu Xu really had such a large sum of money, why would he easily hand it over to the Wu family instead of choosing to control it himself and enjoy life? They overestimated their position in Wu Xu's heart and ignored the other side of human nature.

"But mother, all the money Ran He earned was earned bit by bit by her own hands after she left the Wu family. It has nothing to do with us. As a man, how can I have the nerve to ask her for it? Father, mother, even if Ran He despises me and chooses to separate from me, I will never resent her. After all, in this world, besides you, I have no one closer to me. With your support and love, I have the whole world."

Wu Xu's words were sincere and passionate, and every word revealed his attachment to his family. However, this sincerity made Wu's mother's face look extremely ugly, and the corners of her mouth were almost pulled to her ears with anger.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is this kid really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? If a disabled and penniless man can't even get money from Ran He, does he really expect the Wu family to support him?

"Ah Xu, you can't say that. After all, you are married and she has the responsibility to take care of you. Let's just ask her to take out the money, and then your father and I will take care of all the expenses of the family."

Wu's mother had made up her mind and was determined to get benefits from Ran He no matter what. Even though the Wu family and Ran He had an agreement to sever the relationship, various restrictions bound her hands. But in her opinion, Wu Xu's status was different, and he and Ran He were still connected by an engagement. She could use this special relationship to make some requests, and outsiders naturally wouldn't be able to say anything.

"How can a real man accept charity? My dignity won't allow me to do so! If Ran He is really as ruthless as my parents say, I will cancel the engagement with her without saying a word and won't take a penny. But I firmly believe that the day my legs recover will be the day for me to make a comeback! I will prove with my actions that I, Wu Xu, can also restore my glory by relying on myself!"

Wu Xu's words were powerful, revealing his determination and indomitable spirit. His eyes sparkled with an unyielding light, as if declaring that even the lowest point in his fate could not stop him from pursuing the light.

Wu Xu's impassioned words only resulted in Wu Younian's helpless shake of the head and a slight sigh.

There was a bit of pity in his eyes, and finally he couldn't help picking up a thin bamboo stick from his side and gently tapping Wu Xu on the head, trying to wake up this young man who seemed to be immersed in unrealistic fantasies.

"Son, even if time can really go back, where will the money for recovery come from? A penny can make a hero fail. Without silver, how can a man have ambition? This is not what a real man does. It is simply a foolish dream."
