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

You see, we have a lot of old people and children in our house, so where can we have extra energy and time? Of course, if you don't want to come in person, you can pay us some money to take care of you. It's not much, just ten taels of silver a month."

Wu's mother asked for a huge sum of money as soon as she opened her mouth. She knew very well that Ran He made a lot of money selling herbal medicine. Adding that to her income from practicing medicine, her wealth might have already accumulated to hundreds of taels.

She also secretly felt that she had offered too low a price and was suffering a great loss.

An imperceptible glimmer flashed across Wu Xu's eyes, and Ran He's appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Compared to when she left home, she became more outstanding. Not only did she no longer flinch when facing him, but she seemed unusually calm and composed, as if he had become insignificant.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Xu felt a strong shock in his heart. He had never been treated with such an attitude before. This Ran He was really intriguing.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to stand up and defend the Wu family's face. Instead, he wanted to observe how Ran He would respond.

"I definitely won't give you money. As I said before, the Wu family has no right to take a penny from me for no reason. As for the matter of taking care of me, there's a saying that goes, an engagement can be cancelled, and it's natural for a couple to separate after getting married."

Ran He looked at Wu Xu firmly. She actually didn't know much about this nominal husband. She only knew that he was handsome. As for the complexity and depth of his inner world, she had never delved into it.

If he is a reasonable person, perhaps the matter can be discussed slowly to find a solution acceptable to both parties; but if his temperament is the same as other people in the family, stubborn and unreasonable, then decisive measures must be taken to cut the Gordian knot, and even if he is the child's father, this determination will not waver in the slightest.

"Ran He, how dare you say the word 'divorce'! You...you..."

Mother Wu's voice trembled with anger, and she was once again speechless by Ran He's words.

Her face flushed with emotion, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of disbelief and anger, a kind of confusion and powerlessness that came from being completely shocked and unable to immediately organize a counterattack.

Because in that era, no matter how a woman left her husband's family after marrying in, whether she actively proposed a divorce or was passively divorced, it was tantamount to a reputational disaster for her parents' family.

Such a daughter seems to have become an indelible stain on the family, so that no matter where she goes in the future, her family will have to endure the pointing and criticizing of others and cannot live with their heads held high.

Therefore, even if they suffer from cold treatment and injustice in their marriage, most women will just endure it silently. Few people will easily mention divorce, because once they take that step, it means they have completely lost their home, and the road ahead is bleak and there is no one to rely on.

But Ran He, she is different.

Financial independence has endowed her with extraordinary tenacity and confidence.

Even if she really had to divorce, she was confident that she could live a rich life with her own abilities. By then, those family members who once looked down on her might even curry favor with her because of her achievements. The so-called "disdain" would be nothing but a passing cloud.

"What have I done wrong? Your son has not returned all year round, and all the money he earned has gone into your pocket. You have not paid any attention to our young children. The suffering I have endured in the Wu family is simply unbearable. What's wrong with me asking for a divorce? Do you want me to stay with such a husband who is only in name only, just for your enjoyment?"

Ran He's eyes were cold and firm, and every word he said was like a sharp needle, piercing directly into the hearts of the Wu family, leaving no room for maneuver.

Especially considering the fact that Wu Xu is currently disabled due to injuries, this has undoubtedly added a heavy burden to the entire family.

Everyone present knew that this was a heavy responsibility, and no one was willing to take on this hot potato without any reason.

Everyone in the Wu family was shocked and at a loss for what to do by this sudden change. The situation before them was completely beyond their expectations.

It was originally thought that Wu Xu's return would bring about a turning point, solve all problems, and allow the family to embark on the road to peace and prosperity.

I never thought that not only were the good days I was looking forward to out of reach, but they also added a huge stone weighing heavily on my heart.

Today, Ran He came here just to test the waters, and was not in a hurry to decide whether Wu Xu should stay or go. After all, in the world, one must always give people a chance to buffer.

If she proposed to break up the relationship at this moment, she had already foreseen the cold rejection she would receive.

"That being said, you can make your own decisions. Whenever I want to leave, it won't be difficult."

Ran He looked around again, and his eyes accidentally met Wu Xu's. He caught the deep scrutiny and subtle amusement in his eyes that had not yet faded, and doubts arose in his heart.

From the moment he stepped into this house, the Wu family members had been chattering non-stop, but Wu Xu remained silent the entire time and never made an effort to defend himself.

Although they were not familiar with each other, the elusive aura emanating from Wu Xu made Ran He vaguely feel that his life outside was probably far more than just that of an ordinary bodyguard.

Her intuition told her that there was another identity hidden behind Wu Xu, and perhaps he was just acting crazy and stupid to deliberately cover up something.

Could it be that he also had many dissatisfactions and complaints towards the Wu family, which was why he kept it to himself?

If this is true, then things become more complicated and interesting.

If Wu Xu was determined to draw a line with the Wu family, she would not mind accepting him back, at least the children could have the love and companionship of a biological father.

She owed her children so much that she had to make sure they had both the tenderness of motherly love and the solid protection of fatherly love.

Looking at Ran He's resolute back as he left, the Wu family had no choice but to watch him leave.

There was an indescribable heaviness in the air, as if even breathing had become sluggish.

About an hour later, He Feng rushed to the Wu family, full of anxiety.

When he first heard that Wu Xu had returned, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. After all, this nephew had always been his pride. He sent back two taels of silver on time every month to support the family expenses.

Now that you have returned home in glory, you must be enjoying great glory.

But the moment he stepped over the threshold, the strange atmosphere and Wu Xu's injured leg made his joy freeze in an instant, turning into worry and anxiety.

Knowing that Wu Xu's injuries were serious and he might not be able to walk normally in the future, a barely perceptible contempt flashed in He Feng's eyes.

I also heard privately that Wu Xu's savings had been used up, and I felt disgusted. My original enthusiasm disappeared in an instant, leaving only cold reality and considerations.

"Wu Xu, Wu Xu, you are such a headache, running escorts in all kinds of weather for so many years.
