Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband
Chapter 159 The Past is Like a Dream
No matter what she had been through, Ran He was now at least harmless to the children in the village.
To understand her transformation, I need to uncover the mysteries behind it step by step.
"You should step back for now, and don't show up easily, so as not to arouse Ran He's suspicion."
Wu Xu ordered.
"Yes."
Yan Qin responded respectfully, his eyes accidentally glancing at Wu Xu's injured leg. Worry arose in his heart, but he ultimately said nothing.
The master's leg injury really needs timely treatment. Whether it is going into the city to find a famous doctor or returning to Tianji Pavilion to seek help from the elders, further delay is not a good idea.
But Wu Xu looked as if he didn't care at all. As a subordinate, he couldn't say much and could only leave the room silently.
Wu Xu had his own plan for the treatment of his injured leg.
Now that he is in Fushan Village, his leg injury can serve as a shield to protect himself. Besides, Ran He offers to treat him, so he can take this opportunity to explore her true abilities and the secrets behind them.
At the same time, at the Wu family, Wu Younian brought back the news that Wu Xu had severed ties with him, causing an uproar in the family.
Mother Wu was so angry that she slapped the edge of the bed repeatedly, eagerly questioning why she had to make such a decisive choice...
Right now, our family's hope is all pinned on Ah Xu being able to get some benefits from Ran He. If you break up the relationship, where will we put our face in the future, and how can we enter the Ran family?
Mother Wu was calculating in her mind that the silver and money that she imagined slipped through her fingers seemed to have a cold luster, flashing alluringly in the sun, yet yet out of reach. The helplessness and aggrieved feeling almost filled her heart.
Wu Younian waved his hands quickly, trying to calm his wife's worries. His tone was mixed with a bit of urgency and helplessness: "Listen to me, He Feng's words make sense. The situation was urgent at the time. If I hadn't done that, how could Ran He easily accept Ah Xu? I was considering the overall situation and also to get rid of that hot potato. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."
He sighed and continued: Ran He is a thoughtful girl. She insisted that Ah Xu draw a clear line with us before she would help. But He Feng also analyzed that Ran He was cold to us because there was no emotional foundation, but Ah Xu was different. He was raised by us with great effort. How could the family affection in his bones be broken? When this storm is over, I will quietly find an opportunity to visit him. Ah Xu will definitely not sit idly by and watch us.
There was a gleam of determination in Wu Younian's eyes. He had inexplicable confidence in the deep father-son relationship between him and Wu Xu.
Although Wu's mother had some doubts in her heart, when she thought about how Ran He usually behaved, she could only reluctantly nod her head in agreement.
The difficult situation at that time forced them to compromise with Ran He's conditions, all just to gain temporary peace.
Well, then you have to find a suitable excuse to get close to Wu Xu and ask him to find out where Ran He hid the silver. Even if he just steals a few dozen taels, it will surely not attract attention.
When Wu's mother said this, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, as if the mountain of silver was already in her pocket. The silver light almost illuminated the entire room.
Wu Yue walked into the house silently, holding dinner in her hand, which was a bowl of warm egg custard.
Her expression was calm, neither indicating approval nor clear opposition to her parents' plan.
But deep down in her heart, she knew that this matter was far from simple and her parents' ideas were too naive.
When Wu's mother saw the bowl of egg custard, she frowned: "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about eating this? Even mushrooms are hard to pick now, and the family's income is getting tighter. How long can the family survive on this little bit of surplus food? You only know how to waste!"
After hearing this, Wu Yue felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She had been working tirelessly picking mushrooms in recent days, but had never touched the rare delicacies at home. Today, she was scolded for just steaming a simple egg custard.
In her opinion, her mother's favoritism was too obvious, as if only her eldest brother and twin brothers could enjoy those precious foods, and it was a luxury dream for her to even have a taste of them.
Seeing this, Wu Younian hurried out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, the meal is ready, just eat it. When Ah Xu brings the money from Ran He, our lives will be better and we won't have to live so frugally anymore."
He didn't want these trivial matters to affect the harmony of the family, so he tried to persuade her, and only then did Wu's mother give up.
At this moment, Xie Di's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea came to her mind: Mother, I remembered that there are a few good bachelors in my mother's village, I wonder if my younger sister would like them. Since the matchmaker no longer comes to the door, and my younger sister is getting older, I have to plan for the future. If I go to match them up, those families will have to pay some money as a betrothal gift in order to marry them.
In Xie Di's eyes, if she could get a few taels of silver from marrying off her daughter to supplement the family income, it would be a way out. After all, the family's financial difficulties were becoming increasingly obvious. The days when Yaozu and Yaozhu could enjoy eggs at will were gone forever. Now they could only do so occasionally. The changes in life made people feel a lot of emotion.
Logically speaking, a woman like Wu Yue should have been married long ago, but she had too high standards in the past and it has been delayed until today.
Upon hearing this, Wu's mother fell into deep thought. The matchmaker she hired last time still had no news, so she guessed that she was not taking it seriously.
Xie Di's proposal is worth careful consideration.
"Can you give me a few taels of silver as a betrothal gift?"
Mother Wu's voice trembled slightly, and an indescribable urgency flashed in her eyes.
After the family savings disappeared, the sudden feeling of financial hardship and helplessness was like an invisible hand that dragged her back to the bitter days when she first became a wife.
At that time, every penny had to be calculated, and every day was filled with worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Now, for the sake of her family's finances, she had to regain her budgeting mindset and try to find some funds for emergencies, otherwise she would not be able to put her mind at ease.
Wu Yue heard this, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion at her mother's actions: "Mom, do you really have the heart to push me into an emotionless marriage cage?"
In the past, Wu Yue's emotions could still touch her mother's heart to some extent, but in the face of the temptation of money in reality, this consideration seemed so powerless.
"Nonsense! Isn't marriage just about having enough food and clothing and a place to stay? It's good enough to just be able to make a living, there's no point in talking about love and romance."
There was an unquestionable determination in Wu's mother's words. The hardships of life had long worn away her fantasies about love.
Seeing this, Xie Di immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Mom, why don't I go back to my parents' home and pick out a few suitable candidates for my younger sister, and then bring them over for our family to see. What do you think?"
In this debate surrounding Wu Yue's future, Xie Di's proposal was like an unstoppable torrent, easily breaking down Wu Yue's last line of defense.
Faced with Wu Yue's opposition, Wu's mother showed unprecedented firmness.
