I looked up and saw, hey, aren’t these the people who were busy at Ran He’s place during the day?

Among them were a few neighbors with whom she usually did not get along.

Humph, you come to my doorstep to show off that you have meat to eat today? What's there to be proud of?

But then I thought, this is not right! It's fine if it's just one person enjoying the food, but why are these people standing at my door holding a bowl full of meat in their hands, big chunks, almost all meat, that's a lot.

"Oh my, which restaurant did they buy these leftovers from? Why did they pack so much meat?"

Due to the distance, Wu's mother could not see clearly that it was rabbit meat, otherwise she might have realized that all this was not simple... "Haven't you heard about that? This was all done by Ran He! We just helped to move some sundries, but she acted like a magician, sometimes sending us huge pumpkins, sometimes preparing a banquet, and treating us with rabbit meat. When it was getting dark, she even took out two wild rabbits. These pieces were the leftovers that she forced on us and insisted that we take home."

As soon as these words were spoken, a subtle sense of awkwardness filled the air.

In everyone's heart, the past reappeared clearly like dust blown away by the wind.

The dispute over the division of the family property between Wu's mother and Ran He was caused by the fact that Ran He secretly kept the rabbits he got from hunting and was unwilling to share them.

Now, she casually gave away the rabbit meat, which symbolized controversy and dissatisfaction, to neighbors with whom she rarely interacted.

This move is undoubtedly a silent declaration: In Ran He's heart, the status of Wu's mother and the Wu family is not as high as these outsiders who occasionally provide a little help!

Mother Wu stared at the heavy rabbit meat in everyone's hands, and her cheeks flushed with anger.

"Mother, Ran He's behavior is really too much! In the past, when you asked her to hand over the rabbits for sharing, she would rather split the family than obey. Now, these rabbit meats have become a meal for outsiders. Her mind must be clouded by something unknown!"

Wu's mother's words were like sparks falling into a haystack, instantly igniting the flames of anger.

Mother Wu's face was extremely gloomy, and her heart was as violent as a thousand horses galloping. She wished she could rush to Ran He immediately and ask for an explanation.

Those who were watching and talking about the incident had already had enough of their tongues wagging about right and wrong, and they knew that if they stayed any longer, they would probably get into trouble.

After all, no one could predict what surprising actions Wu's mother, a woman with a bad temper, would take.

If she gets so angry that she throws all the meat she has worked so hard to get onto the ground, the loss will be unbearable!

If you take this rabbit meat home, it will be enough for the whole family to enjoy several meals.

On the other hand, although Wu Yue was jealous, she could only sigh at the sight of the meat.

It was just a trivial help, but Ran He treated me so warmly.

The intimate atmosphere was as if everyone present had become an indispensable part of her family.

As a mother-in-law, Wu Yue considers herself to be in a respected position, but Ran He has been in the Wu family for many years.

Even her request to share a rabbit was rejected by her, which eventually led to the two families parting ways.

How could Wu Yue be willing to swallow such humiliation?

She was eager to find Ran He and ask him if he still had any family affection for her and why he had to use others' hands after the separation and was such a blatant provocation!

"Mother, don't take this to heart. Ran He is doing this just what we want. When she has used up all the meat and food, she will be a helpless woman with no land to farm and no ability to do heavy labor. How can she raise those three crying children? In the end, won't she still have to cry and beg us to accept her back?"

Wu Yue seemed to have imagined Ran He's future destitute state. Only by imagining this could she feel a little relieved from the resentment in her heart.

"Humph, even if she comes back crying, we don't have to take her in! This isn't just a simple division of the family, there's also a document to sever ties as proof. Even if we turn her away, it's reasonable and legal. Even if it comes to the government, I'm not afraid!"

Wu Yue straightened his back and put on an unquestionable and righteous attitude.

"Even if Ran He kneels down and begs for mercy, and uses all her pleading and regret, I will never be soft-hearted and will never allow her to step into our house again, even half a step away!"

Wu Yue was determined in her heart, and her tone carried an unquestionable power, as if she was guarding her own future with determination.

Wu Yue has lost interest in these troublesome household chores.

After all, she was about to get married, and her mother would take care of the trivial matters in the village. She just wanted to treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner and as a pastime.

And at this moment, the most important thing is his increasingly haggard face.

Having not eaten meat for a long time, and eating only vegetables and tofu day after day, her complexion looked dull and had an unhealthy yellow hue.

Thinking about the man who was about to come to propose marriage and seeing me so haggard.

It may be difficult to show a satisfied smile, and this will directly affect the generosity of the bride price.

"Mother, can you spare some time to go to town and buy some good meat so that I can have a good rest? By that day, I will be full of energy and radiant. Mr. Bai will see this and maybe he can add a few more ounces to the betrothal gift. Besides, Ran He actually invited those women to taste the delicious rabbit meat and showed off in front of our house. If we don't respond, won't people think that our Wu family is afraid of her tricks?"

There was a gleam of intelligence in Wu Yue's eyes. She knew very well the savings that her second brother had accumulated through years of hard work.

The money did not fall into Ran He's hands, but was carefully kept by his mother in a locked small box.

According to conservative estimates, there are at least twenty taels of silver. What's wrong with using some of it appropriately?

Wu Yue's patience was exhausted in this long friction, and her mother's words were like the last straw, prompting her to make up her mind quickly.

"Okay, I'll go to the market tomorrow morning to buy some meat. Not only will I feed my whole family, but I'll also let the whole village see what our Wu family is capable of!"

The mother and daughter reached a consensus and smiled at each other. The tacit understanding in their hearts did not need words.

As the sun was setting, Zhu Cuihua also walked into the house at about the same time.

I saw Sister Liu was enjoying dinner alone. When she saw her daughter coming back, she just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at her lightly.

"Oh, the busy man who does good deeds is finally back?"

There was a subtle hint of irony in Sister Liu's words.

Zhu Cuihua smiled helplessly, "Mom, you are doing this again. Didn't I already tell you about today's arrangements? Why are you being so sarcastic?"

Just as Sister Liu was about to open her mouth to explain, Zhu Cuihua quickly unfolded the package in her hand, thinking that she had already eaten, and the remaining rabbit meat would be just the right dish to add to the mother and daughter's table.
