Wu Younian changed the subject and mentioned the insignificant salary of Wu Xu as a bodyguard. In comparison, the one hundred taels of silver delivered by Ran He on time every month was like a sweet rain, not only enough to ensure his worry-free life, but also to allow this comfort to continue for ten years.

"No, I'll take charge of this matter. Ran Heben is responsible for taking care of your injuries. I'm going to the village director to seek justice and an explanation!"

His words were powerful, as if he had made up his mind, because expecting Wu Xu's stubborn head to change would probably take longer than waiting for the mountains to be gone and the sky and earth to merge.

The village director, a man who shoulders the expectations and responsibilities of the entire village, has always had his own unique way of handling affairs.

However, when he heard the Wu family's request, he rarely chose to avoid it, claiming that he was not at home and did not want to be involved in the dispute.

In fact, because of his biased handling of the Wu family's affairs in his early years, he had already caused quite a grudge between him and Ran He, and the relationship between the two sides once reached a freezing point.

After so much effort, the storm has gradually calmed down. He is absolutely unwilling to get involved in this mess again, so as not to touch that sensitive nerve again. He is even more afraid that Wu's mother will take this opportunity to drag him into justice again, and he will end up being unpopular with both sides. It would be better to just pretend to avoid her.

Therefore, the Wu family sent Wu Yue as an envoy to the village director's home, hoping to persuade him to come forward.

However, not long after, Wu Yue returned alone, covered in dust and dirt. The fact that she returned empty-handed made everyone realize that the village chief was determined to avoid the dispute.

Just when the Wu family was worried about this matter, Zhu Cuihua and his wife pushed a cart with a new bed slowly towards Ran He's house.

This is a sample of a double bed with a novel design. It has not yet been mass-produced. They decided to send it to Ran He for trial first to see if he is satisfied before making any further decisions.

Zhu Cuihua's husband Dayong came into the house and busy himself with the assembly, while Zhu Cuihua took the opportunity to pull Ran He and whispered about the news of Wu Xu's return home.

Looking at Ran He busy picking and drying mushrooms day after day, Zhu Cuihua guessed that she might not know that Wu Xu had returned home.

She was secretly curious about what Ran He's attitude was towards Wu Xu.

Ran He is gentle and kind by nature, and values ​​friendship and loyalty, but Wu Xu has been out there working for many years, and the relationship between the two has long become as bland as boiled water.

The Wu family will certainly try their best to use Wu Xu as a bargaining chip to force Ran He to compromise.

According to common sense, Ran He might choose to agree to a divorce with Wu Xu in order to have a clean and neat ending.

"Ran He, Wu Xu has returned to the Wu family. I'm afraid he will come to our house soon. What are your plans?"

Zhu Cuihua's question made Ran He stunned. Indeed, she had never thought about this question seriously.

At first, she was worried that Wu Xu's return would lead to a fight for custody of the child.

But as time went by, Wu Xu's presence became weaker and weaker as she lived with her child every day, and he almost disappeared from her life.

In her mind, the image of Wu Xu was almost as good as dead. Now that she was suddenly "reborn", how could she not be surprised?

At this point, Wu Xu's return has undoubtedly become a difficult problem that needs to be faced.

If Wu Xu could be more sensible and not fight for the child's custody, perhaps she could consider meeting some of his small requests.

However, if Wu Xu still insists on her own opinion, then she has nothing to fear, and divorce will be the most direct and inevitable result.

Inside, Dayong was concentrating on assembling a new bed. The children were extremely excited and as jubilant as if it were New Year's Day. They were completely unaware of the private conversation between Ran He and Zhu Cuihua.

Ran He knew very well that this matter could not be concealed for too long and would be exposed one day, so it would be better to take the initiative and resolve it as soon as possible.

"Cuihua, please help me look after the house. I have to go to the Wu family in person."

She spoke firmly.

"No problem, just go ahead and let me know if you need anything."

Although Zhu Cuihua was worried and afraid that the Wu family would ask for too much, she still gave Ran He the strongest support and was determined to be Ran He's most solid backing and not let the Wu family take advantage of her.

Arriving at the door of the Wu family, Ran He did not rush to step through the threshold, but chose to stand quietly outside the door and listen attentively to the movements inside the house.

When the Wu family learned that the village director refused to respond to the call, everyone's face was filled with indignation and disappointment, especially Wu's mother, whose face was so gloomy that it seemed like ink could drip, and her dissatisfaction almost overflowed from the eaves.

Without an authoritative figure like the village director in charge, Ran He is known for his tough character. If he goes to the door to ask for an explanation and fails, he will suffer misfortune. The lesson of the last conflict is still vivid in his mind, which makes Ran He more vigilant when he is about to step into the door.

However, the instigator of all this, Wu Xu, seemed to be a bystander, sitting leisurely on an old cart with an indifferent smile on his face.

Ever since he entered the house with his hard-earned wealth, the Wu family seemed to be only interested in the gold and silver he carried with him. As for his leg that was accidentally injured while traveling outside, no one cared about it, and they were reluctant to even give him a word of concern, which made Wu Xu feel a little cold in his heart.

"How can this be possible, Qing'er, go and call Ran He back to me. Ah Xu is her husband after all, how can she stay out of this matter?"

The mother's voice was full of determination and brooked no room for rebuttal. Wu Yue's heart tightened when she heard it.

Everyone in the family knew about Ran He's strength and methods. She had just been excluded from the mushroom picking team due to trivial matters. If she took the initiative to provoke them at this moment, she would definitely not end up well. Naturally, she was unwilling to encounter this bad luck.

"Mom, why don't you let my sister-in-law go? Why do you always push these troubles to me?"

Wu Yue complained in a low voice, with a feeling of displeasure swirling in her heart.

Mother Wu was extremely anxious. How could this child be so ignorant? He was always hesitant and irresponsible.

Xie Di, who was standing by, shrank her neck quietly. Her thoughts, which had just been secretly delighted, had already flown away to the sky. Seeing that Wu Xu was in financial difficulties, why should she continue to give him a cold shoulder? The most urgent task was to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

"Don't bother, I found it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran He suddenly appeared in front of everyone like a god sent from heaven. His movements were so fast and his posture was so decisive, like lightning across the night sky, catching everyone off guard.

It turned out that she vaguely heard the conversation outside the door, and thought that she would have to face this matter sooner or later, so it would be better to solve it quickly to avoid any more trouble. So she walked straight in and did it quickly.

Everyone was surprised to see this, but then they thought, since Ran He came to them on his own initiative, wouldn’t they be missing out on a good opportunity if they didn’t take the opportunity to gain some benefits?

Although Wu's mother was bedridden due to illness, her words were still sharp: "You came just in time, the wounded Wu Xu has returned home, and as his wife, it is your duty to take care of him.
