"Your marriage cannot be delayed. If you stay at home at such an old age, the gossip outside will not be very pleasant. Besides, since your sister-in-law is willing to arrange a meeting, can't you just pick the one you like the most?"

In Wu's mother's opinion, Wu Yue's resistance seemed to stem from an unrealistic fantasy. Little did she know that what Wu Yue really wanted was to escape from her current suffering through marriage.

However, in Wu Yue's heart, those "rich" marriages in her sister-in-law's family were nothing but illusions.

Why would a truly wealthy person set foot in a poor and remote place like Fushan Village? Wu Yue was afraid that she would end up hastily marrying a bachelor with similar conditions and handing over her life's happiness to fate.

Wu Younian remained silent. To him, it was natural for a girl to get married at an appropriate age. Wu Yue's repeated delays undoubtedly brought shame to the family. Outsiders might even misunderstand that they were indifferent to their daughter's future.

Wu Yue felt so aggrieved and angry that she retreated into her own little room without even eating a bite of dinner, leaving behind a pain in her chest.

After dinner, Wu's mother had another plan in mind.

She was unwilling to bow to Ran He, so she swore secretly:

"Since Ran He no longer buys our mushrooms, we will be self-reliant. We will pick and dry them ourselves, and then go to the city to find buyers!"

An unyielding spirit rose in Wu's mother's heart. She firmly believed that what Ran He could do, they could do too.

Ran He was able to monopolize the mushroom trade in the entire Fushan Village. There must be a large sales channel behind him, either in the town or somewhere further away.

Why not directly connect with these buyers, which would not only save the trouble of dealing with Ran He, but also solve the problem of mushroom sales.

"Mom, is this really going to work?"

There was a hint of worry in Xie Di's question.

After all, Ran He's actions were always a bit mysterious. If he failed to open up sales in the town, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?

"Why not? You just think too much. Now that things have come to this, we might as well give it a try. Once we find a way, we can unite with other people in the village to fight against Ran He and let her see our courage and strength."

Mother Wu's words were full of fighting spirit, and this passion even infected herself, making her look forward to the upcoming challenges.

Although the plan sounds simple and straightforward, its implementation undoubtedly requires careful preparation.

Wu Younian pondered for a moment and began to assign tasks: "Well, you go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and try to dry and store them. As for the market, let Yan'er go to the town to check out the situation."

His arrangement convinced everyone, and for a moment, the whole family was united as one.

As night fell, Ran He's family sat around the simple dining table and enjoyed a simple dinner.

After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The children are temporarily squeezed into one room and will make long-term plans later.

However, for Wu Xu, sleeping in the same bed with Ran He was undoubtedly a new experience he had never had before.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, as if it had nothing to do with Wu Xu's gender, there were subtle waves of emotions hidden in his heart, but he hid them skillfully.

Although the two quilts separated the two ends, Ran He's emotions were still rising and falling like the tides, like the chaotic stars in the night sky, difficult to calm down.

She tossed and turned, her mind racing, longing to find a ray of peace and quiet, to fill this uneasy long night with trivial matters, so that she could briefly escape from the whirlpool of thoughts.

"Perhaps, let me examine your injured leg first and assess its condition. Timely treatment will allow recovery to come sooner, and you can also get out of Fushan Village as soon as possible."

Ran He's proposal was filled with a hint of gentle concern, attempting to use his actions to ease the awkwardness and tension in this small space.

The corners of Wu Xu's lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the expression of some emotion.

Whenever Ran He talked about his leaving, his eagerness to withdraw seemed to be about to overflow, showing on his calm face and turning into a wave that was difficult to conceal.

Wu Xu had long been accustomed to the usual indifference of doctors and regarded it as the norm in the industry. Therefore, he did not have too many emotional fluctuations about it. He just cooperated silently, slowly showing his injured leg, allowing Ran He to examine it carefully.

Ran He's fingertips gently slid across every inch of skin. Her eyes were sharp and focused. She first made a thorough observation of the appearance to confirm that there were no obvious signs of external injuries.

Then, she lightly picked up the wooden stick beside her and tapped and patted it with just the right amount of force, probing one by one, trying to catch clues of pain from Wu Xu's subtle reactions.

"Do you feel any pain here?"

Her voice was soft, and every word was filled with delicate care.

"It doesn't hurt."

Wu Xu answered calmly, but there was a barely perceptible hint of forbearance in his eyes.

"What about here?"

Ran He adjusted the position of the knock. This time, an unignorable frown appeared between Wu Xu's brows, indicating that she had indeed touched the pain point.

Since the possibility of external trauma has been ruled out, the problem may be hidden at a deeper level - either damage to internal tissues or damage to meridians.

As Ran He's fingers lightly touched, a faint and intermittent feeling of broken veins was felt, confirming her guess.

But this is not comparable to ordinary meridian damage, but a sign that those tiny meridians are broken along with the main trunk. This is usually only caused by martial artists with profound internal strength, which is extraordinary.

This discovery made Ran He's eyes become profound, and she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful about Wu Xu's identity.

How could a man who claimed to be a foreign escort be hit so hard by such a master? Although the life of an escort was full of dangers, it was rare for him to be involved in such a high-level fight.

Wu Xu's life experience seems to hide an unknown secret. Being able to survive the attack of a top master, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Although Ran He was full of curiosity, she also understood that these things had nothing to do with her directly.

Her current task is only to help Wu Xu recover from his leg injury. After that, they can each return to their lives, and the issue of child custody will be solved without any worries.

After sorting out the messy thoughts in his mind, Ran He regained his composure and said in a firm tone: "Your injuries are quite complicated. You will need some time to recuperate and recover."

Wu Xu's face did not show much surprise or disappointment, as if he had already expected such a diagnosis.

What made him even more curious was that in the face of all kinds of doubts, Ran He could be so restrained and not ask questions easily. This forbearance and determination surprised him.

Ran He already had a plan in mind. He planned to use the warming power of the medicinal food to slowly regulate Wu Xu's damaged meridians. If he was lucky enough to recover naturally, that would naturally be the best outcome.
