Ran He's voice was a bit cold, and his eyes were like knives, as if he could see through all of Wang Hong's inner calculations: "Who dares to say something behind my back? Who in the village doesn't greet me with a smile when they see me? But you have a sting in your words, and I really haven't heard what others have said."

Wang Hong was choked by these words and was speechless for a moment, as if there was a hard object stuck in her throat.

Is Ran He mocking her for her love of talking about people behind their backs?

"Tsk, I don't believe that people from Fushan Village would come to curry favor with you? If you don't want to help, just say so directly. Why bother with all this nonsense?"

Wang Hong rolled her eyes, leaned sideways, and looked disdainful of Ran He's words.

Su's mother's heart tightened, and she could only use an anxious look to signal Ran Ping to come out and smooth things over.

Wang Hong is usually very sarcastic at home, but she tolerates it for the sake of the overall situation.

But today she is a guest at Ran He's house, and Wang Hong's behavior is really inappropriate. If she really annoys Ran He, what will happen if the relationship between the two families becomes strained?

With two daughters and a son, Su's mother is most worried about her daughters' lives after they get married.

Now that the two families have finally started to interact more frequently, Wang Hong comes to disrupt things. How can she feel at ease?

Ran Ping was anxious and wanted to ease the atmosphere, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips and finally chose to remain silent.

Su's mother was really angry and anxious. How could she give birth to such a cowardly son? He was so timid at the critical moment, just like a turtle that would shrink its head when faced with danger.

Ran He smiled but said nothing. She understood that the more she paid attention to people like Wang Hong, the more complacent they would become. It would be better for her to remain calm and wait for the right time to take action.

As for the truth, they will have a clear understanding of it when the time comes.

The carriage moved slowly, and the villagers along the way knew it belonged to Ran He's family as soon as they saw it, because in this village, only her family had such grandeur and such a grand friend visiting.

"Here, get out of the car."

Ran He jumped off the carriage lightly, carefully supported Su's mother, and walked forward to open the door.

Although she didn't know how to explain all this to Wu Xu, she felt at ease in her heart.

After all, she had funded the construction of this house, and Wu Xu not only lived there for free, but she also cured his leg injury. What reason did he have to be dissatisfied? If he was really dissatisfied, Ran He could just send him to the utility room and let him reflect on himself.

Wu Xu, who was teaching the children to read in the house, suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at secretly.

With a creaky sound, the door opened, and Su's mother and others were stunned.

Originally this was just an inconspicuous little hut, but after Ran He invited craftsmen to carefully renovate it, it not only looks presentable, but also has several spacious houses added, making it look a bit like a wealthy family in the village.

After witnessing all this with her own eyes, the last bit of worry in Su's mother's heart completely disappeared, and she was convinced that her daughter was indeed living a comfortable life after the separation.

"Yueyue, what are those things hanging all over your yard?"

Su's mother asked curiously.

"Those are dried mushrooms and wood ears, ready to be sold to those who need them. Now I am doing this business."

Ran He led everyone towards Wu Xu. After all, taking them home in a hurry without a formal introduction would seem too perfunctory to Wu Xu.

Although the two decided to go their separate ways in the future, at the moment, they are still husband and wife, and it is her unshirkable responsibility to give Wu Xu the respect he deserves.

"Wu Xu, I met my brother in town yesterday, and asked him to bring mom home for a visit. I forgot to mention it to you last night."

Ran He's tone was a little apologetic, but also full of honesty about future arrangements.

After listening to this, Wu Xu did not show the slightest displeasure on his face, and his heart was filled with a long-lost warmth. After all, he had met his mother-in-law on the day of the marriage proposal many years ago.

At that time, he was still a young man full of vigor and vitality, full of longing for the outside world and yearning for the future, and embarked on the precarious path of a bodyguard.

Time flies, and it is not until today that I am reunited with my family. I have mixed feelings.

"mom."

Wu Xu's voice was gentle and solemn, and every word was full of respect and longing for his elders. His low call seemed to hide his recollection and cherishment of the past.

When Su's mother saw her son-in-law lying on the bed, unable to move, her eyes were instantly filled with astonishment and concern.

In her impression, this son-in-law has always been able to stand on his own feet. It is said that he works as a bodyguard outside and earns a lot of money every month, which is enough for the young couple to live a stable life.

How could she not be filled with doubts in this situation? "Mom, he's just injured and has difficulty walking. He'll be fine after a while. Don't worry too much."

Seeing this, Ran He hurried to explain, and her words revealed her concern for her husband and her optimistic expectations for the future.

Su's mother frowned even more tightly, and worry was like a thick dark cloud, covering her already restless heart.

What if the son-in-law's injury becomes a long-term problem, won't my daughter have to stay by his bedside for the rest of her life?

How long and painful the days ahead will be.

She didn't intend to let Ran He give up Wu Xu, but as a mother, she felt sorry for the hardships her daughter had to endure.

Life has finally improved and the family home has become more luxurious, but who would have thought that the brother-in-law would suffer such a misfortune? Ran He's fate seems to be always accompanied by suffering. When will it end?

Wang Hong, who was standing by, could hardly conceal her joy.

She looked at Ran He's wealth and glamour, and the jealousy in her heart grew like weeds, so sour and unbearable.

At this moment, looking at Wu Xu's body that seemed to have lost its strength, the scale in her heart seemed to have found some kind of balance, and a twisted sense of satisfaction quietly grew.

So what if she is rich? She still has to guard a man lying in bed. If this gets out, she will probably become a laughing stock among the neighbors.

"Dabao, Xiaobao, come and meet grandma."

Ran He called the children gently, his tone full of anticipation and joy.

"grandmother."

The two children responded in baby voices, with a hint of unfamiliarity and restraint in their voices.

To them, grandma is a strange existence and they don’t feel very close to her. They usually always follow their mother’s instructions.

"Hey!"

Su's mother agreed cheerfully, with a kind smile on her face.

She hurriedly rummaged in her pocket for a while, and finally took out two red envelopes containing one hundred coins each, and handed them to the two children.

"Yueyue, Mom doesn't have much ability, this is the first time I see my grandchildren, please don't despise this little thought."

She had a clear mind. Everything she saw proved without a doubt Ran He's ability. His house was so spacious and grand that it obviously did not require her meager financial support.

But even if it was just a small contribution, it was still a mother's heart, and she just hoped that Ran He would not think this gift was too shabby.

"Mom, why are you giving money to the children? They don't need the money right now."

Why would Ran He ask for money from his mother?
