Especially in the mushroom trade where people are coming and going, who would be able to detect the slightest manipulation?

Ran He obviously had not anticipated these hidden dangers at this moment. It was obviously a mistake to entrust such important financial matters to outsiders.

She thought to herself that she must find a suitable solution as soon as possible.

At the same time, when the villagers saw Su's mother, they all came forward to greet her warmly. The atmosphere was full of nostalgia and harmonious, which verified what Ran He said before - except Wang Hong, no one dared to be rude and presumptuous here.

When the last mushroom seller left, Ran He generously gave Zhu Cuihua today's labor reward of two hundred coins. Wang Hong's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. She rushed forward in two steps and questioned:

"Why is it that other people can only get dozens or even hundreds of coins, but when it comes to her, it becomes 200 coins?"

Ran He and Zhu Cuihua smiled at each other, seeming to be quite amused by Wang Hong's reaction.

Upon seeing this, Su's mother hurriedly winked at Ran Ping, signaling him to stop Wang Hong who was about to explode, and reminded her that this was Ran He's territory and the money was earned by Ran He himself. How to distribute it was purely personal wish and had nothing to do with Wang Hong.

"Don't embarrass me here anymore, go back."

There was a certain irresistible majesty in Su's mother's voice as she tried to calm this unnecessary turmoil.

Ran Ping tightly grasped Wang Hong's wrist with moderate but firm force, pulling her back to reality from the brink of argument.

Seeing this, Ran He smiled apologetically at Zhu Cuihua. That smile contained delicate concern and helplessness, as if to say: "Family disgrace should not be made public. Please forgive me."

Then, she took a step forward and led Zhu Cuihua slowly toward the door, each step appearing to be exceptionally polite and respectful.

Wang Hong didn't seem to have learned a lesson from the previous argument. She still had an indifferent attitude, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, her face full of dissatisfaction and confusion.

There was sting in her words, and she asked sharply, "Just because she helped you weigh the weight, you generously gave her more money? I can do such a small thing, but how can outsiders be as reliable as family members?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze, and Su's mother's face suddenly became hot, with complex emotions flowing in her eyes. Marrying such a daughter-in-law did indeed add a bit of misfortune to the Su family.

However, Ran He was not someone who would silently endure injustice. She looked directly at Wang Hong with an unquestionable determination in her eyes, and retorted: "Who do you think you are? Can the title of sister-in-law be used as a meal? The reason why she got the two hundred coins is because her efforts are worth such a reward. She helped to weigh the goods without taking a penny, which is her magnanimity and generosity. And you, with such a narrow mind, can only make random guesses and make up stories!"

Ran He's words were sharp and direct, leaving no room for negotiation. Wang Hong's face turned from pale to red, and her neck also turned red. Although she wanted to argue vigorously, facing Ran He's inviolable aura, all her words were stuck in her throat, and in the end she could only sit down unwillingly.

Wang Hong was used to being bossed around at home, and had never suffered such injustice before. She was naturally dissatisfied, but due to the occasion, she had to suppress her anger temporarily.

She always talks to herself at home, and her family often just lets her do it and treats it as a joke after dinner.

However, at this moment in Ran He's home, her domineering behavior not only did not subside, but became even worse, which made Su's mother feel a burning sensation on her face, as if she had done something wrong.

"Pack your things now and leave here immediately. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

Ran He's voice was as cold and hard as iron, leaving no room for maneuver.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong stiffened her neck and refused to give in stubbornly. There was a gleam of challenge in her eyes, as if announcing her determination to fight to the end.

There was a flash of coldness in Ran He's eyes. She was already accustomed to Wang Hong's daily bullying, but the other party still failed to recognize the current situation.

It doesn’t matter. Ran He decided to make Wang Hong understand thoroughly what is right and what is wrong.

"I am willing to help the villagers instead of you. What can you do to me? Don't you look at yourself? The villagers have benefited from me, and when they see me, they will wag their tails to show their goodwill and say hello. But you, even if you get the advantage, you still complain like a street swearer when you meet. Do you think there is anything about you that deserves my special care? Is it because of your shameless thick skin or your chattering?"

Ran He's words came out like a string of cannonballs, and every word struck Wang Hong's heart, leaving her speechless for a moment. She could only wave her fingers in anger in the air, but she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

"If you want to stay, be quiet, or I'll ask you to leave!"

Ran He had no intention of compromising with Wang Hong's warning. No matter whether she was a sister-in-law or in some other capacity, she was always fair and impartial when it came to principles.

Seeing that her sister was really angry, Ran Ping quickly pulled Wang Hong and smiled to ease the atmosphere: "I'm so sorry, sister, Wang Hong is just like that, don't bother with her."

In his heart, he actually thought that Wang Hong's behavior was too much and his sister's criticism was just right, so he did not feel dissatisfied.

However, Wang Hong did not appreciate it. She felt that she was betrayed by Ran Ping. Husband and wife should stick together, but Ran Ping stood on Ran He's side.

She was so angry that she shook off Ran Ping's hand and walked straight into the house.

The facilities in the room were simple and there was no bed, so she had to sit on an old chair and sulk alone.

But as she got more angry, her thoughts gradually became clear - the living conditions here were excellent, and her sister-in-law Ran He seemed quite wealthy. As long as she could stay, there would definitely be many benefits in the future.

Once Ran He is driven out, won't all this come to nothing?

So she secretly made up her mind to endure it no matter what.

"Yueyue, I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble. Otherwise, let's go back. Wang Hong, I..."

Su's mother felt very sorry for herself, fearing that Wang Hong would cause trouble again and make her lose face.

"Mom, you can just stay here without any worries. If Wang Hong can understand what's good for her, she will have plenty of food to eat. If she continues to act so arrogantly, I will not show any mercy to her."

Although Ran He's words were plain, they carried an unquestionable force, allowing Su's mother to hear the firmness and confidence contained in them.

At this moment, Su's mother realized that Ran He was no longer the weak and vulnerable little girl she used to be.

She runs a business independently and supports a large family. If she had not been tougher in her words, she would have been bullied and bruised all over by others.

"If Wang Hong dares to be rude to you, you don't have to show mercy. I used to think that we are a family, so I shouldn't put my brother in a difficult position. I just need to be patient. Now I can see Wang Hong's true face."
