Chapter 173 Breaking in privately
Wu Xu's heart was filled with turmoil. Ran He had always insisted on not letting the children participate in housework. She always said that she wanted to give her children the best life and not let them suffer any hardship in life.
There must be some reason behind the children's sudden initiative today.
"Dabao, as a brother, you have to be honest, especially with me. Tell me, why did you do this? Did mother ask you to do this?"
Wu Xu asked further, but Dabao shook his head and denied everything.
With Wu Xu's gentle encouragement, Dabao finally told the truth: "Other uncles and aunts in the village said that Dad's leg injury might make Mom suffer for the rest of her life, and Mom might leave Dad because of it. We don't want to see Mom and Dad separate, so we want to help share the housework so that Mom won't be so tired and won't leave Dad."
When Wu Xu heard this, his heart was torn, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim in an instant.
The innocent words of the children, like a sharp dagger, pierced his self-esteem and made him clearly realize that he had indeed become a burden to Ran He. Why did he ask Ran He to continue to endure all this?
In fact, Ran He once told him that he wanted to break up, and he foolishly acquiesced.
Thinking back now, regret surged in his heart like a tide, and he even wanted to slap himself hard, just to make up for a little of the guilt in his heart.
He didn't dare look directly into the children's eyes that were full of expectation and trust, fearing that they would see through his inner fragility and helplessness, and afraid that at that moment, they would lose their beautiful fantasy of the world.
Wu Xu gently touched the children's heads and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, Dad will have a good talk with Mom. My leg won't always be like this. Mom will find a way to cure it for me. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
This sentence not only comforts the children, but also encourages myself.
He knew that he had to take action, whether it was spending all his savings or working hard in his own way, he had to do something for this family.
Just as this determination was secretly surging in Wu Xu's heart, a clear knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Dabao ran over to open the door. These days, due to the sudden increase in the number of people picking mushrooms, the mushrooms on the mountain have become increasingly scarce. The villagers are busy against time, and some people even go over mountains and across rivers to find more resources.
Due to the frequent visits, Hu Zi's mother would take the initiative to help weigh and record even when Ran He was not at home, to ensure that every effort would be rewarded, and then settle the accounts one by one when Ran He returned.
However, Wu's mother standing outside the door was a visitor that Dabao had not expected.
Hu Zi's mother was also surprised. She quickly put down the work at hand and stepped forward, trying to block Wu's mother from entering.
After all, this is Ran He's home. There is no blood relationship between Wu's mother and Ran He, so her arrival undoubtedly has a purpose.
As a member of the family, Hu Zi's mother naturally has to maintain this peace and prevent disturbances from uninvited guests.
There was a rumor circulating outside that Wu's mother was attacked by a wild boar but recovered quickly, which made Hu Zi's mother secretly sigh in her heart, wondering why the evil ones can always turn danger into safety.
"Oh, Aunt He, Ran He is not here today. If you have anything to say, you can wait until she comes back. If you barge in like this, and something is missing, you won't be able to explain it."
Hu Zi's mother's words seemed concerned on the surface, but in fact they contained sarcasm.
Mother Wu's face darkened, and she felt anxious and dissatisfied.
She was eager to find Wu Xu to discuss important matters, but was obstructed by Hu Zi's mother, which made her furious.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm here to find my son. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? You're just a poor creature who depends on Ran He for survival!"
Wu's mother's words were sharp and sarcastic, with no regard for either party's reputation.
Hu Zi's mother was not willing to be outdone. She knew very well how shameless Wu's mother was, so she had to use a trick to make her restrain herself.
"Everything here belongs to Ran He, and your son is only staying here temporarily. As a mother, you broke in without saying hello, which constitutes trespassing. What if Ran He chooses to call the police..."
Hu Zi's mother's words left room for maneuver, trying to make Wu's mother give up.
There was a hint of coldness in Wu's mother's eyes. She obviously didn't take Hu Zi's mother's reminder seriously and thought that she was acting in this way to protect Ran He.
"I'm not here to cause trouble today. I just want to talk to my son. You're also a mother, don't you understand this feeling?"
There was a mixture of helplessness and urgency in Wu's mother's tone.
With Hu Zi's mother's reluctant consent, she told Dabao to guard the door and be alert to Wu's mother's every move to prevent damage to the home's belongings.
Afterwards, Hu Zi's mother hurried back to work. These two days were the peak period for mushroom harvest. Every minute and every second was extremely precious, and she could not let any high-quality mushroom go to waste.
Although Wu's mother was filled with resentment, she could only endure it temporarily. She knew that she had come here to discuss something important.
When Wu Xu saw his mother appear, he did not show much surprise, as if he had already expected this moment to come.
"Wu Xu, your father is a rough man, don't blame me. Our family is so poor that even eating has become a problem. You didn't leave a penny when you came back this time. I really couldn't support you, so I sent you to Ran He..."
Mother Wu's face twitched at first, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes. She looked pitiful, as if all her compassion and tenderness were for the misfortunes in this world.
The maternal radiance she pretended to show was as if she was the kindest and most selfless mother in the world, bearing all the sufferings in the world for her children.
However, after a lengthy preparation, this carefully woven veil of warmth finally revealed the truth behind it.
"Wu Xu, do you know how sinister Ran He's mind is? He has made my husband and I suffer all kinds of humiliation and suffering in this world."
There was a hint of resentment in her words, as if every word was a painful memory squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.
However, there was a glimmer of cunning in Wu's mother's eyes, suggesting that her words were not entirely sincere.
"But you don't have to worry. As long as our family members are united, we will make Ran He suffer the consequences of his own actions one day. And right now, we are in need of your help."
Wu Xu's eyes were as calm as water. From the moment Wu's mother stepped over the threshold, he had already seen through the purpose of her visit, but he chose to remain silent and let her linger in her fantasy for a while, as if he was admiring a prey that was about to fall into a trap.
"How to do it exactly?"
There was no trace of emotion in Wu Xu's voice, as if he was asking about something very ordinary.
"It's a simple matter."
Mother Wu spoke hurriedly, and the greed in her eyes gradually revealed itself. "You are with Ran He every day now, so you must know where his gold and silver treasures are hidden. Just tell me.
