Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband
Chapter 188 Testing
Eventually, he chose to go back inside, trying to summon some forgotten sense of responsibility.
"You should come out and help, too. Don't forget that we are visiting my sister's house. It's always a good idea to be more diligent."
There was a barely perceptible pleading tone in his voice.
Wang Hong was disdainful of this, snorted softly, and her eyes were full of mockery.
"Does she really think we are a family? When is it our turn to have a say in family affairs? Why should I help? Besides, you have been fetching water or chopping wood this afternoon. We are husband and wife, so your hard work is naturally mine. I will not be busying myself for nothing!"
After saying that, she fell heavily onto the bed, as if she was going to sleep until dinner time.
Although the bed board is hard and hurts people's backs, people who grew up in the countryside have long been accustomed to this simple hard bed, and this inconvenience is nothing to them.
Faced with Wang Hong's stubbornness, Ran Ping could only shake his head and smile bitterly, then left the room alone.
Ran He witnessed all this and knew clearly in her mind that Wang Hong had an indescribable control over Ran Ping, but she did not lose her temper on the spot. She just silently took the dishes from her mother's hands, washed them carefully, and started to prepare dinner in the evening.
At this time, Hu Zi's mother was busy moving bag after bag of dried mushrooms into the house.
As the seasons change, mushrooms in the mountains become increasingly hard to find. The drying speed just keeps up with the pace of picking, so there are fresh mushrooms drying almost every day for use.
"let me help you."
Seeing how hard she was carrying the things, Ran Ping stepped forward to lend a hand.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony and quickly completed the moving work. The mushrooms were neatly stacked in a corner of the house.
Wang Hong, who was in the room, saw through the half-open door how Ran Ping was helping Hu Zi's mother, and the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.
"Are you stupid? Ran He paid Hu Zi's mother wages. It's her duty to do all this. What does it have to do with you? Will she give you a share? Hurry up and pour me a glass of water!"
Her voice was sharp and her eyes were sharp. She glanced at Hu Zi's mother and had long been dissatisfied with Ran He's preferential treatment of Hu Zi's mother.
Hu Zi's mother sighed helplessly. She understood Ran Ping's good intentions, but she didn't want Wang Hong to misunderstand her. After all, these tasks were not difficult for her.
"No, I can handle it myself."
Hu Zi's mother responded softly, trying her best not to make the situation too awkward.
Ran Ping glared at Wang Hong with dissatisfaction, feeling deeply disgusted by her pettiness.
In his opinion, Wang Hong is calculating in everything and has no warmth or kindness at all, which makes it difficult for people to get close to her.
As the night deepened, the dinner that Ran He had carefully prepared was finally placed on the table.
Although simple, it is full of home warmth - the golden sweet potato porridge exudes an attractive sweetness, paired with two plates of crisp and delicious side dishes, and a plate of tender shredded pork that is colorful, fragrant and delicious. Every bite is full of happiness.
Wang Hong looked at the dishes on the table and her face immediately darkened.
On normal days, she might be able to accept such meals, but the sumptuous lunch feast still seemed to linger in her mouth. In comparison, the simplicity of dinner seemed particularly shabby, which made her unhappy.
"Tsk, you have to give away all the good meat at noon, so you can keep it for yourself to eat at night? With just this little food, I don't think you really welcome us."
Wang Hong complained while sitting down by herself, thinking that this was her Fulin Village where she could do whatever she wanted, completely forgetting that Ran He sitting opposite her was no longer the submissive person he used to be.
Su's mother was about to speak to mediate, but she remembered that Ran He had said that she had her own ideas on the matter, so she pursed her lips and watched the situation develop.
"If you don't want to eat, please go ahead! This is Fushan Village, not your Fulin Village. You are not my elder, and I have no obligation to support you. If you think you can do whatever you want in Fulin Village, then go back and continue. Try to say something sarcastic to me again, and don't blame me for making you sleep on the floor outside the door!"
Ran He slammed his chopsticks hard, and every word he spoke was powerful and resounding.
This sudden and harsh rebuke startled both Su's mother and Ran Ping, because in their memory, Ran He had never been so strict.
Although Su's mother had expected this, she still couldn't help feeling sad.
Ran He supports the family on his own, how can he not be stronger?
But all the bitterness and fatigue behind this were borne by this seemingly weak woman.
Wang Hong was stunned by this merciless rebuke. She never expected that Ran He would dare to expel her directly and treat her with such harsh words.
The reality was completely different from what she expected, and it taught her a profound life lesson.
Her face turned blue and white, and she was obviously very angry.
Ran He did not stop there, and continued bluntly: "If you want to live in my house, you have to abide by the rules of my house. My mother may be easy to talk to, but I am not. Those who tried to challenge me in the past did not end well in the end. If you don't believe it, you can try it. Don't think that your identity as a sister-in-law can give you an unimpeded way here. As long as I don't agree, you are just Ran Ping's wife in my eyes. I may not even recognize Ran Ping, my biological brother, let alone you!"
Her words were not a joke. Ran Ping was indeed loyal and kind, but there was a hint of weakness mixed in with his loyalty, which inadvertently revealed a sense of powerlessness that could not be ignored.
Such a character flaw gave Wang Hong opportunities to test the bottom line again and again, and finally she was bold enough to directly offend Su's mother's dignity.
Ran Ping's hand holding the chopsticks trembled violently, almost causing the chopsticks to slip out of his hand.
His eyes were full of disbelief. Did his sister's words really mean that she wanted to sever ties with her brother? The grievance in his heart was like a surging tide, almost drowning him, but he knew in his heart that all this was not without reason.
For a moment, all kinds of feelings, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, intertwined together, making it difficult for him to describe. He could only lower his head silently and bury these complex emotions deep in his heart.
Mother Su looked at the scene in front of her and wanted to speak to mediate, but Ran He's firm and irrefutable words were still echoing in her ears, as clear as if they had just happened.
She had already seen clearly in her heart and felt deeply saddened by Ran Ping's long-term inaction and lack of achievements.
Perhaps, it is time for Ran Ping to realize his situation and accept the test of reality.
Wang Hong was dumbfounded, staring at Ran He in disbelief. Could it be that in this world, there really is such a heartless person who can ruthlessly abandon even his own brother? Then, she couldn't help but think of the past when Ran He resolutely broke up with the Gu family.
Since moving to Fushan Village, the story of how Ran He resolutely drew a line between himself and the Gu family and vowed never to have any contact with them until death has long become a legend in the countryside.
