Chapter 47 The real purpose
In the eyes of everyone, Wu's mother's behavior seemed extraordinary. Her excessive enthusiasm and high profile made people wonder what kind of calculations and determination were hidden behind it.
Faced with the villagers' doubts and ridicule, Wu's mother smiled but said nothing, only emphasizing Ran He's identity over and over again.
These two words, spoken from her mouth, were both an adherence to her own beliefs and a public oath, as if telling the world that no matter how the outside world views her, Ran He will always be a member of the Wu family in her heart.
In the eyes of bystanders, this scene may be confusing or sympathetic, but more often they cast complicated looks at the old lady's desperate persistence.
The "daughter-in-law" mentioned by Wu's mother
It seemed to have become her mantra, and between the lines she revealed an almost paranoid persistence.
Perhaps, through repeated attempts, she was trying to convince not only others but also herself.
As long as I can still call Ran He like this, it seems as if nothing has changed and that family bond remains indestructible.
The villagers looked at her with a mixture of doubt and sympathy. They privately discussed whether Wu's mother was so dissatisfied with the current situation that she had some kind of fantasy. After all, the determination of both parties when they separated the family had almost made everyone believe that the two families would be two parallel lines that would never intersect from then on.
Not long ago, when Ran He hosted a banquet for his friends, the dissatisfaction on Wu's mother's face was clearly visible. Who would have thought that just one day later, she would take the initiative to come to the door and affectionately call her daughter-in-law with whom she had "broken up"?
This sudden change, like a sudden rainstorm in summer, caught everyone off guard. It also made people wonder what kind of power allowed this seemingly ordinary old lady to show such amazing resilience and persistence.
Amid the villagers' whispers, Mother Wu's steps became more determined. She knew that although the road was full of thorns, she was willing to go through fire and water without regrets for the sake of the fire of hope that had not yet been extinguished in her heart.
If there is no mental deviation, then there must be some unknown intention in his heart.
Considering Wu's mother's usual style of doing things, everyone can almost conclude that this is most likely the latter situation.
"Oh, Aunt He, you haven't forgotten the fact that Ran He has cut off contact with our family, have you? Now he is a stranger to us. You are calling him so affectionately, I am afraid you have to wait for him to nod and agree! Besides, everyone in our village has seen and remembered your attitude towards Ran He in the past. Your wishful thinking now is clear to everyone."
These sharp words came from the mouth of a woman who usually did not get along with Wu Yue. Now that she had the chance, she was naturally rude and her words were full of harsh sharpness.
"What's it to you? I can yell whatever I want. You gossipers, stop gossiping about other people's affairs and get out of here as soon as you can!"
Wu Yue was so furious that she wanted to rush forward and fight with them immediately, but she was hesitant because she was holding the meat she had just bought.
"How could there be such a shameless person like you in this world? Have all those cruel words you said in the past been blown away by the wind and heard by dogs? You don't care about your own face, and you don't even allow others to say a few words!"
Several women scattered while mocking, and although they were far away from the scene, they were still muttering and talking.
Su Lanfen, who was standing by, was worried that Wu Yue would ruin things because of her momentary impulse and affect her plan to persuade Ran He, so she hurried forward to comfort her.
"Don't take it personally, Auntie. These people wish that we would not live a happy life. The more we live, the more we should live a wonderful life and show them how good we are!"
With Su Lanfen's comfort, Wu Yue's anger gradually subsided. She just spat fiercely at the backs of those people, "Bah! Wait until I become successful one day, and I will teach you a lesson!"
Despite the argument just now, the real purpose of this trip is to find Ran He.
"What bad luck!"
Wu Yue cursed and spat, then took Su Lanfen's hand and walked forward step by step along the winding mountain road, stopping to breathe heavily every few steps.
This was the first time she complained about why the village chief placed Ran He in such a remote place. The gloating she felt in the past was long gone.
When they finally arrived in front of Ran He's house, they heard the sounds of Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao and Erxi playing happily in the house, while Ran He seemed to be busy with some housework.
Although she was unhappy, Wu's mother still maintained basic courtesy and knocked on the door gently.
——Dong dong dong!
Dabao was completely unprepared for Wu's mother's sudden visit. He stood up and opened the door. When he saw it was her, the smile on his face froze instantly and turned into indifference.
Mother Wu pretended to be kind and tried to ease the atmosphere, "Dabao, is your mother home?"
A complex look flashed across Dabao's face, but he still stood firmly at the threshold, with no intention of letting the two in.
Su Lanfen began to lose her patience, thinking to herself that Ran He's reputation as being difficult to approach was well-deserved; even his son was so unkind.
"I have something important to discuss with your mother. Can we go in and talk for a few words?"
Dabao was as steady as a rock, refusing to budge. Instead, he waved to Sanbao who was playing nearby.
"Sanbao, go and ask mother to come over here."
At this time, Ran He was busy in the smoky kitchen. She was carefully cleaning the pig's entrails that she had just bought, and added a large piece of fat and lean pork belly and a pair of fresh chicken and duck into the bubbling old stew pot, planning to slowly stew them together until the fragrance filled the air.
Sanbao rushed into the kitchen, looking panicked: "Mom, grandma... that fierce old lady brought a stranger to see you!"
Since Wu's mother came in person, she must have some plan. There is no smoke without fire, so this is definitely not just a simple visit.
"understood."
Ran He responded nonchalantly, put aside the work in his hands, washed his hands, and slowly walked towards the door.
Erbao and Sanbao still stood at the door like loyal little guards, as if telling newcomers that they were not allowed to enter without permission.
Mother Wu's heart was like a fire boiling with anger surging in her chest.
As a family elder, she should be respected and loved, but now she is met with indifference. This disregard makes her heartbroken and she feels that the family tradition is corrupted. The arrogance and forgetfulness of her grandchildren cut her heart like a sharp blade.
But realistic considerations forced her to control her emotions. After all, she needed help from others at the moment. If Ran He refused to lend a helping hand due to a momentary dispute, it would only put herself in a more embarrassing situation.
So, she forced the flames of anger into the depths of her heart, and on the surface, she tried her best to maintain the calmness and dignity of an elder.
