Chapter 150 Respect is worse than obeying orders
In the end, you didn't even have a penny left? Think about your elderly parents, who have worked hard for most of their lives, and not only did you fail to let them enjoy their old age, but you became a burden on their shoulders. Now you are poor and have to rely on them for your own food, drink, and defecation. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
He Feng's words were like a torrential rain, and every drop hit Wu Xu's heart accurately. Wu's mother and Wu Younian were standing aside. Although there was no obvious fluctuation on their faces, they felt even more disappointed with Wu Xu in their hearts.
If Ran He had been here just now, he could have hardened his heart and shown some backbone, and maybe they would have been returning home together now.
"You may not know that I have indeed sent a lot of money home over the years. Ran He once told me that the money was not used on her and the children. If that's the case, then it was all subsidized to my mother. It doesn't matter if I eat and wear worse, as long as I can show my filial piety to my mother, the remaining money, even if it's just simple food, will be enough for me to live on."
Wu Xu's words were calm but with a hint of helplessness. When these words came out, Wu's mother and He Feng were speechless for a moment. They knew deep down in their hearts where the money really went, but they just didn't want to mention it.
However, reality is always cruel. Wu Xu is now penniless and has become an absolute burden.
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the house became more heaviness with the dinner that Xie Di prepared casually. The piece of meat that was originally planned to be fried was quietly put back in its place.
In the future, every penny must be calculated carefully and you won’t dare to squander it easily.
Under the cover of night, Wu Xu was temporarily arranged to live in the small house of Wu Younian and his wife, while his old house had been occupied by Xie Di and given to her two children Yaozu and Yaozhu, on the grounds that Ran He had already separated from the family with the children. Wu Xu had to curl up in the damp woodshed, enduring the double torment of body and mind.
"Sister, you see Wu Xu is not only penniless but also disabled. It would be better to let him go to Ran He directly. This way, the family can have one less grain to eat. We are so unlucky. We thought he would return home in glory and let us enjoy the glory, but we didn't expect this to happen."
He Feng's words were full of resentment. The Wu family only had one person with some promise, Wu Xu, but now they can't be relied upon, so it seems reasonable for him to complain a few words.
Wu's mother and Wu Younian exchanged complicated looks. Life at home was already tight, and leaving Wu Xu behind would undoubtedly add an unnecessary burden. Not only would there be one more mouth to feed, but they would also have to clean up the dilapidated woodshed. No matter how they calculated it, it was a losing business.
"But Ran He has already asked for a divorce. If we send her off like this, won't it be obvious that people will laugh at us?"
Mother Wu's brows were furrowed, her heart filled with worry.
"What are you afraid of? We are still husband and wife in name only, and nothing counts until we get to the stage of formal divorce. At worst, we can go to the government office and sue Ran He, saying that she looks down on her original wife now that she has money. We can make a big fuss about it, and at worst, both of us will suffer."
Wu Yue listened from the side with mixed feelings. She only knew that there were people who abandoned their wives and children, but she had never expected that there would be such an act of abandoning one's husband.
"Okay, that's it."
They thought their plot was perfect, but they didn't realize that Wu Xu heard it all clearly in the next room.
Wu Xu was calm, as he had foreseen such a scenario before he set out on his journey home.
The Wu family is greedy, like bloodthirsty leeches. He has long intended to leave, and now is a perfect opportunity to cut ties with them and never be entangled again.
At the same time, Ran He was busy preparing dinner in the distance. Xiao Gou Dan and his mother worked together to pack the dried mushrooms into bags and carefully moved them into the warehouse. The rest were placed in a bamboo basket and moved to a corner sheltered from the rain, ready to be dried the next day.
For some reason, Wu Xu's return seemed to arouse an indescribable emotion in Ran He's heart, neither joy nor sadness, but just an indescribable strange feeling lingering in his heart.
In this quiet evening, the afterglow of the setting sun lazily sprinkled on the bluestone road of the town, casting a soft golden hue on the coming night.
Ran He stood in his simple and warm courtyard, and gently suggested to the puppy's family who were about to leave: "Let's eat here together tonight. I made a lot and can't finish it."
There was an irresistible warmth in her words, as if she was going to use a sumptuous dinner to melt away the day's fatigue and worries.
At the moment of paying the salary, a hint of persistence appeared in Ran He's eyes, which was the kind of understanding and support between friends that did not require many words.
Xiaogoudan's mother was stunned for a moment. Normally, she always avoided bringing any extra trouble to Ran He. However, as the world changes, people's hearts also change subtly.
She had also recently heard the news that Wu Xu was returning home, and she couldn't help but worry for Ran He.
Everyone knows how shameless the Wu family is. They will definitely use every possible means to force Ran He to solve this complex and sensitive issue.
As a woman who had experienced the same ups and downs as Ran He, Goudan's mother felt empathy in her heart. She wanted to share some of Ran He's worries with her heartfelt words.
"Then we would rather obey orders than be respectful."
There was a hint of gratitude in Puppy Egg's mother's answer, and the family gladly accepted the invitation.
Ran He gave a faint smile in return. The moment he turned and walked into the kitchen, he naturally called out to his two precious children: "Come and set the table. Don't lie on the bed."
Her voice was gentle yet full of maternal majesty, and even through the crack in the door, her kindness could make people feel the warmth of home.
The newly purchased bed is covered with a soft quilt cover exchanged for space. It is a luxury beyond daily life, making the person lying on it feel as if they are on the clouds, light and comfortable. No wonder Dabao and Xiaobao always stay in bed.
After dinner, Goudan's mother cleverly sent the children away and asked them to go out and play so that they could talk freely about topics that were inconvenient for the children to hear.
"Now that Wu Xu is back, what are your plans? His legs are broken. If you really take him home, it may mean that you will have to take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of him for the rest of his life. This should have been the responsibility of the Wu family, but look at our Dabao and Xiaobao. He is their father, and the children long for their father's love, just like Xiaogoudan often misses his deceased father. And Wu Xu is still alive, and we cannot let the children have irreparable regrets in their hearts."
Hu Zi's mother's words revealed deep worry, but also the wisdom of a person who has experienced it.
Although she was not aware of the depth of the emotions between Ran He and Wu Xu, the iron-clad relationship between herself and Hu Zi's father made her understand how important the integrity of a family is to a child when facing difficulties.
