Therefore, there must be other reasons for Su Lanfen's arrival at this time.

She forced a smile and greeted her warmly, "Lanfen is here. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's sit down and eat together."

The aroma of stewed meat wafted towards her. Su Lanfen took a deep breath, and her satisfied expression was clearly revealed in her tightly closed eyes.

After days of eating bland soup, she had been craving meat for a long time, and the sudden aroma instantly activated her taste buds.

But at this moment, enjoying delicious food is obviously not the top priority. She urgently needs her aunt to mediate the matter of He Yue selling herbs. Keeping her job is the most urgent task.

Su Lanfen suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously looked around, trying to find Ran He, but was surprised to find that not only Ran He, but also the three children of the Wu family were nowhere to be seen. This sudden change confused her.

She recalled that Ran He once said that she had completely drawn a line between herself and the Wu family and lived separately. At first, she thought it was just her angry words, but now it seems that there may really be something behind it?

If the family really split up, would her aunt still have room to control Ran He? Would her own medicine shop business also be in jeopardy? This sudden change, with no signs before, made Su Lanfen a little at a loss for a while.

Mother Wu noticed that Su Lanfen seemed to be hesitant to speak and became puzzled.

I thought she was here to ask for help, why did she suddenly become so hesitant? Since we are family, why can't we just speak directly? So, she kindly comforted her, "Lanfen, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. As long as your aunt can help, she will definitely not refuse."

Wu's mother knows the importance of her natal family, especially when her husband's family occasionally encounters misfortunes. Her natal family is her most solid support, and this family bond must be maintained.

With such firm support from Mother Wu, Su Lanfen felt much less anxious. She thought to herself that her aunt had always been able to effectively control Ran He in the past, and even if the family was really divided now, it was probably the result of her aunt's leadership.

Therefore, as long as his aunt came forward, Ran He should have no reason to disobey.

"Aunt, I do have something I want to ask for your help. Do you know what Neihe has been busy with recently?"

Su Lanfen secretly speculated in her heart that if Ran He, a woman who was used to being lazy and never interfered in household affairs, really had the ability to go up the mountain to dig herbs in exchange for money, her aunt would probably have worshipped her as a god and burned incense to worship her day and night.

This question was actually Su Lanfen's attempt to find out whether her aunt knew that Ran He was well versed in the secrets of herbal medicine.

During this period of time, because of Ran He's matter, Wu's mother had a very difficult life and was filled with depression. When Su Lanfen inadvertently touched upon her, anger rose in her chest.

However, in a flash, she changed her mind and realized that Su Lanfen and Ran He had no connection with each other.

It was brought up today for no reason, there must be a reason behind it.

"Lanfen, why are you so curious about Ran He? Because of her indecent behavior, she has been cut off from our Wu family and now lives alone in a small house in the back mountain."

Although Wu's mother said so, the fact was that Ran He took the initiative to propose separation in order to establish his own business, just to save the Wu family's face in front of outsiders.

Wu's mother always looked forced and helpless, cleverly shifting the blame to Ran He, implying that it was the Wu family who abandoned her on their own initiative.

Hearing this, Su Lanfen's face sank slightly, but she still decided to narrate the whole thing in detail: "Aunt, you may not know that Ran He is actually well versed in herbs. Just today, she took the herbs she collected to the town's medicine shop to sell. At first, I thought she was still not doing her job properly, so I didn't look at her well and urged her to stop making trouble here. Unexpectedly, she really took out a lot of precious herbs, which even attracted the attention of the owner of the medicine shop. As a result, Ran He did not trade in our store, which made the owner furious and gave me an ultimatum - if I can't convince Ran He to sell the herbs to us, I will lose my job!"

Recalling this embarrassing past, Su Lanfen was filled with resistance. Her livelihood had to rely on a person she once looked down upon. This was more difficult for her to accept than being slapped in the face.

The room was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

The chopsticks of Wu's mother, Wu Yue and others stopped in mid-air, with shock and disbelief written all over their faces.

Su Lanfen anxiously waved her hands in front of Wu's mother, feeling extremely worried.

Can my aunt solve this problem? She hasn't explained it to her parents yet.

Once they knew they had lost their jobs, they would probably be severely punished.

"How is this possible, Lanfen? Did you recognize the wrong person? How could Ran He, that stupid person, know about herbs? Even if she really has this ability, how come no news of it leaked out before?"

What Wu's mother couldn't believe was that Ran He actually had a hidden talent. She had been working silently in the Wu family for many years, and no one knew about her talent. But as soon as the family was divided, her talent was fully revealed. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to prevent the Wu family from benefiting from her?

It's really narrow-minded to the extreme!

If this is true, then Ran He's deep gaze when the family was divided that day seemed to have predicted the regret and remorse of the Wu family in the future. Everything was within her expectations...

They waited day after day, hoping that Ran He would run out of food and have nowhere else to go.

In the end, he could only return to the Wu family in a miserable state and beg for mercy. At that time, she, Wu Yue, could manipulate Ran He at will.

However, the news brought by Su Lanfen was like a loud slap in the face, or even a thunderbolt in a clear sky, which suddenly woke them up: With Ran He's ability to identify herbs, it was enough to ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, so why would she beg for mercy from the Wu family?

"If it wasn't Ran He himself who came here today, I'm afraid I really ran into something unclean!"

Su Lanfen's eyes were filled with jealousy, as if they were burned by a blazing flame, so red that they almost bled.

She secretly calculated in her mind that the herbs in Ran He's hand could easily be exchanged for fifty taels of glittering silver in her own clinic!

These fifty taels of silver were enough to allow Su Lanfen to escape from day-to-day toil, marry into a wealthy family in style, and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

And Ran He, the woman whom she had disdained countless times.

To have earned this wealth so easily in just one day, wasn't this like a sharp knife stabbing her heart, causing her heartbreak?

"boom!"

Mother Wu was so shocked that she stumbled and fell off the edge of the kang.

Fortunately, Wu Ming was agile and supported her in time, thus avoiding serious injury.

To them, fifty taels of silver was like a windfall, shocking enough to make them dizzy, as if they were hit by a heavy hammer of happiness, unable to believe the reality of it all.
