"Oh, isn't this Ran He from our village? She has always been so glorious! I heard that the things at home have caused a lot of uproar. The young lady who used to have everything she wanted, now knows how to worry about her family?"

There was a hint of sarcasm and curiosity in her words. Zhang Qiaohua, a woman who was good friends with Wu's mother and always liked to spread gossip, was speaking in her unique tone with a subtle smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Ran He turned his gaze indifferently to Zhang Qiaohua, but he already understood in his heart.

She was no stranger to this person who liked to collude with Wu's mother and stir up trouble.

"A sensation? Did you hear this from Wu's mother?"

Her words were calm but had a sharp edge.

Hearing this, Zhang Qiaohua's nostrils flared slightly, and she snorted disdainfully: "Why, Mother Wu is your mother-in-law, always talking about her, being disrespectful and having no manners."

Ran He had a faint smile on his face, but his tone was full of irony: "Of course I should call her mother-in-law, how could it be your turn? You care so much about our family affairs, have you dealt with the trivial matters in your own family?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes flashed with a cunning light.

When I accompanied Ma Er to the town, I saw with my own eyes Zhang Qiaohua's husband Wu Laoliu chatting and laughing with a weak woman.

The intimate behavior is self-evident.

Zhang Qiaohua's face changed slightly when she heard this. She realized that there seemed to be a deeper meaning in the words and alarm bells started ringing in her heart.

"Do you know something? You seductive woman! It's not enough that you seduced Ma Er, you even want to seduce my man. You are such a shameless slut!"

Ran He raised his eyelids, with a warning in his eyes: "You'd better think before you speak. Just because you think it's good doesn't mean others think so. If you really want to know the truth, why don't you ask him directly?"

Her words were low, but they created ripples among the crowd.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, and they thought it was just an ordinary quarrel.

But she didn't expect that Zhang Qiaohua would be made so embarrassed by Ran He's few words.

Everyone was secretly wondering, how could Wu Laoliu, who was such a dull and honest man, betray Zhang Qiaohua?

After all, over the years, he has been obedient to Zhang Qiaohua and worked hard for the Wu family, and has almost become a recognized model husband in the village.

However, Zhang Qiaohua ignored the looks and whispers from others.

In a rage, he grabbed Wu Laoliu's ear in public and said in a sharp and piercing voice: "Tell me! What good things have you done behind my back? If I find out, just wait and see!"

Wu Laoliu's already guilty heart became even worse under this sudden questioning.

It was as if I was poured with cold water, and all my desire to defend myself disappeared in an instant.

He knew that once the truth was revealed, facing Zhang Qiaohua's "tiger" temper, the consequences would be disastrous.

So he chose to keep the secret and refused to reveal it even when faced with his wife's questioning.

"What could I do to let you down? It's all nonsense from Ran He. She doesn't care about anyone, not even the Wu family. And you favor Wu's mother. Isn't it normal for her to retaliate against you? She's clearly trying to sow discord between us. Don't fall for her trick!"

Although Wu Laoliu's voice seemed a little trembling, his sincerity and honest appearance were surprisingly convincing.

Even Zhang Qiaohua temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart after hearing this sincere explanation.

After all, losing your composure in front of outsiders is not a glorious thing.

I hope that's not the case. I sincerely hope that you haven't done anything to let me down.

Because once I discover the truth, before the sun rises tomorrow, the officials will knock on your door and deal with the consequences of your misconduct!

When Wu Laoliu heard this, he was startled and almost fell to his knees on the muddy ridge of the field.

Sweat slid down his forehead, mixed with the smell of earth, making him feel suffocated.

The implicit meaning in Ran He's words seemed to have revealed the secret between him and Zhang Qiaohua behind his back.

Will she tell Zhang Qiaohua everything one day in the future?

This thought was like a gust of cold wind, piercing his heart.

He could hardly bear the weight of this imagination, because as long as Ran He was still in Wujia Village.

His soul was like a boat caught in a storm, with no peace.

But he found it difficult to completely break off the emotional entanglement and return to a pure and ordinary life.

After all, he is just a simple farmer at heart. It is the pressure of life, Zhang Qiaohua's never-ending criticism, and the days as boring as white water that push him step by step into the outside world to find a little comfort.

Yunniang's place is a gentle place for him to escape from reality.

A safe haven where he doesn't have to pay any worldly price and can share his worries and troubles, how can one not be attached to such a woman?

"Ran He, I have come to this point. You and I both know that the love between husband and wife is as deep as the sea. If you continue to speak nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will put an end to your verbal troubles with my own hands!"

There was an unquestionable threat in Zhang Qiaohua's words, and the aura was exactly the same as that of her best friend, Wu's mother.

The reason why the two of them are so close is because of their unchallengeable authority.

Anyone who dares to gossip will face their sharp counterattack.

Ran He showed no fear in the face of such threats.

"What I said is all true and aboveboard. How can I stir up trouble? If you don't believe me, that's your choice, but I won't shut up because of this, and I will definitely not silence the entire village."

After saying this, she turned around resolutely and carried the heavy basket on her back.

He walked towards the mountains with firm steps, and all that was left to Zhang Qiaohua was his unyielding back.

This scene is really heartbreaking.

Zhang Qiaohua naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch Ran He blatantly "wrongly" accuse Wu Laoliu. She had to discuss it with Wu's mother and teach Ran He a profound lesson to demonstrate her mother-in-law's authority. Otherwise, wouldn't it be letting a new daughter-in-law take control of the family?

At the edge of the field, several villagers were whispering to each other. They had heard about Ran He's changes, but had always been skeptical. Only after seeing him today did they realize that the rumors were true.

Ran He seemed to have been reborn. Her words and actions were decisive and she was no longer the confused young wife of the past.

Today, Ran He chose another hillside to continue searching for herbs.

Her mysterious space is so spacious that it can accommodate any harvest.

She was extremely anxious when she thought about the villagers' ignorance of medicinal herbs and how they turned a blind eye to the treasures all over the mountains.

In the eyes of many people, these precious herbs may not be as useful as wild vegetables, and this gives her an opportunity.

From a distance, Ran He's movements looked like he was picking wild vegetables.

Apart from the wild vegetables that can be seen everywhere and the occasional wild mushrooms, what else is more worthy of attention on this mountain?
