This kind of determination and courage is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Therefore, when Ran He said that she did not recognize Ran Ping as her brother, the determination revealed in her words was actually quite convincing, making people wonder whether she might really be able to do such a thing.

Lin Ran's gaze suddenly became as cold as winter ice. That sharp look made Wang Hong feel a chill running straight into her heart. She couldn't help but shudder and didn't dare to move for a moment.

The atmosphere in the whole room froze in an instant. Due to Lin Ran's aura, no one around dared to step forward to ease the tense atmosphere. Wang Hong felt as if she was in a hot furnace and felt uncomfortable all over.

She desperately wanted to hold her head high and leave this embarrassing place with dignity, but her stomach made an inopportune growl at this critical moment, completely shattering her fantasy.

Although the dishes on the table are simple and all vegetarian, with Ran He's superb cooking skills, even the most ordinary porridge can be turned into a delicious dish that will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

The millet porridge was cooked to be crystal clear, and each grain of millet was extremely soft and glutinous, melting in the mouth without any roughness, making people unable to help but eat one bowl after another.

After dinner, just as Wang Hong was about to sneak into the house to rest, Ran Ping suddenly called her.

Although he still had a simple smile on his face, the gleam in his eyes revealed his deep understanding of the meaning behind Ran He's words.

"Mother and sister-in-law worked hard to prepare the meal, so it's your turn to wash the dishes. At home, each of us has to contribute something, and no one can eat or drink for free."

Wang Hong's heart was burning with rage, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be able to ignite everything, but under Ran He's calm yet deep gaze, all her arrogance was suppressed.

That silent gaze was like an invisible whip, reminding her that the pile of dishes on the dining table waiting to be cleared were quietly waiting for her hands.

Helplessly, Wang Hong stepped into the kitchen with full of dissatisfaction, while Ran Ping silently watched over his mother, gently wiping her face, and carefully washing the feet of Wu Xu who had difficulty in moving. His every move revealed his meticulous care.

While Wang Hong was about to finish washing dishes, Ran Ping entered the kitchen under the pretext of adding firewood, but in fact he was monitoring whether she was doing her job conscientiously.

He was afraid that even in these minor matters, Wang Hong would be lazy and slack off, and worried that if he really allowed such a person who only wanted to enjoy and not give to live in his home for a long time, his future life would be unimaginable.

In the kitchen, they were alone, facing each other. Wang Hong finally couldn't hold back and launched a series of accusations at Ran Ping: "Are you stupid? We are husband and wife, and not only did you not help me, but you helped your sister to bully me? Listen to what she said, is this the way to treat your own brother? You are so unlucky! "

Here, away from Ran He's intimidating gaze, Wang Hong dared to pour out all her inner dissatisfaction.

After all, in front of Ran He, she was always cautious, fearing that if she was not careful, she would lose even this small foothold.

Ran Ping sighed softly, his voice full of helplessness: "My sister is already tolerant enough. She has endured so much alone. Why should she come to serve you? Since you live under our roof, you should know your limits and take on some housework. Don't always expect others to serve you. My sister and I haven't seen each other for many years. I may not understand her current temperament, but judging from her determination to sever ties with her in-laws, what she said is no joke and can really be put into practice!"

Although Ran Ping seems a little weak in character, he is not stupid.

He saw his mother's silence and heartache today, and he knew clearly in his heart that if he continued to turn a blind eye to what Wang Hong did, the consequences might be disastrous.

"In the end, you are a loser! You don't even have half the ability and courage of your sister. If I had relied on your meager and unstable income, I would have starved to death long ago! How many grievances have I suffered with you? I didn't even agree to the butcher introduced by the matchmaker. I chose to marry you wholeheartedly. And you treat me like this?"

While washing the dishes, Wang Hong kept muttering like chanting a sutra, her mouth full of dissatisfaction and complaints about life.

Ran Ping seemed to be accustomed to Wang Hong's words. He did not respond but just let Wang Hong vent silently.

When they first met, Wang Hong was attracted by Ran Ping's honesty and the fact that his family did not have too many burdens. In addition, Su's mother looked amiable and in good health, and Ran Ping was a husband who listened to his wife. This made her full of longing for the future, and she fantasized that she would be able to call the shots in her married life and control everything at home.

However, the cruel reality gradually shattered her beautiful fantasy.

In fact, she was indeed like the axis of the family, and both mother and son obeyed her words. However, this power did not fill the gap in her heart. She always felt that Ran Ping had failed to pave a golden road for her to a rich and prosperous life.

As soon as Ran He appeared, Wang Hong's complaints disappeared instantly like mist blown away by the winter wind.

Even though he was filled with resentment in his heart, he could only endure it on the surface and not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Ran He did not take Wang Hong's resentment to heart. As for whether to forgive her or not, it all depends on whether Wang Hong can change her ways in the future.

"Sister, from now on, no matter big or small, just tell me. We country people may not have much, but we have strength."

As soon as Ran Ping finished speaking, he was hurriedly pulled away by Wang Hong.

Ran He didn't mind this, as he knew that change could not be achieved overnight, especially for Ran Ping and Wang Hong, which required time.

It was late at night, and she visited the two children one by one. The little ones lay obediently in their bed and did not beg for stories as usual, because they were sensible enough to realize their mother's fatigue and hard work in recent days.

"My dears, go to sleep early. Mommy is going to see grandma."

These simple words contain deep love and responsibility for children.

Ran He was afraid that Mother Su would have trouble adapting to the new environment, so he went to visit her before she went to bed.

For Mother Su, the discomfort did not come from the unfamiliar environment, but from the bed being too soft. Lying on it felt like floating on the clouds, so light that she thought she was wandering in a dream and had lost the sense of reality of being down to earth.

When she heard that the mattress was made of top-grade silk, Mother Su felt a warm current in her heart and almost burst into tears.

My daughter is so filial, it is indeed a blessing from her previous life.

"Mom, I'm worried that you might be thirsty at night, so I prepared some water for you. Drink it when you're thirsty. Tomorrow morning I need to go to town to treat a patient, so I'll have to ask you to take care of everything at home. If you have any problems, we can discuss them with you after I come back."
