There was no extra expression on Ran He's face, and her eyes were cold, as if the person in front of her was just a villager from Wujia Village who had nothing to do with her. If she wasn't forced to do so, she wouldn't even bother to do this superficial work.

When the figure of Wu's mother came into her sight, Ran He had roughly guessed the other party's intention, but she still remained calm and asked in a calm tone.

"It's like this. I heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between you and Lanfen. You know, Lanfen doesn't often go out in the village, so she naturally doesn't know much about your changes. The unpleasant things that happened in the pharmacy this morning were actually just an unintentional mistake. The shopkeeper has already severely criticized her. Relatives should understand each other and eliminate barriers. If you have herbs to sell in the future, you should still go to Lanfen and don't let outsiders take advantage of you."

There was sincerity in Wu's mother's words, as if she had already won the game. She didn't notice the barely perceptible sarcastic smile on Ran He's lips, which contained a bit of amusement and disdain.

Without waiting for Wu's mother to finish, she eagerly inquired about the source of Ran He's ability to identify herbs, because during his time at the Wu family, Ran He had never shown any talent in this area, but now he could easily earn dozens of taels of silver by selling herbs, which made Wu's mother want to secure this part of the benefits for the Wu family.

"One more thing. How did you acquire the ability to identify herbs? I've never seen you perform this way before..."

Ran He interrupted her unhappily: "Anything else? If not, I'll close the door and rest."

Faced with Ran He's arrogance and rudeness, Wu's mother was quite dissatisfied. If the other party could be softer in attitude and say a few nice words, perhaps she would have proposed that she return to the Wu family and create a harmonious family atmosphere together.

Her eyes inadvertently swept across the unwashed clothes piled in the yard, and she read from them the hardships of Ran He's life living alone. In comparison, life in the Wu family seemed much more comfortable.

"Do you understand what I said? In addition, I think it is really worrying for you and your widow to live here. Safety is also a problem. Why not cancel the decision to separate the family and let your eldest brother help you move your things back to the old house. The family should be reunited."

Mother Wu coughed twice. This was the biggest compromise she made after weighing the pros and cons.

As a mother-in-law, it is not easy to take the initiative to show weakness to her daughter-in-law. However, considering that Ran He can bring in a lot of income with herbal medicine, it seems that she can still bear this humiliation.

However, in Ran He's eyes, all this was nothing but the ridiculous behavior of a clown, which was both funny and sad.

She had already lost her patience to deal with it and turned around to close the door.

Seeing this, Wu's mother quickly stretched out her foot to stop him: "What do you mean?!"

"Nothing special."

Ran He responded coldly, "If you have forgotten the original separation agreement and the letter of severance, I don't mind accompanying you to the government office to review that history. If someone like this comes to my door and talks nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude and using a broom to treat him!"

Mother Wu's cheeks were flushed with anger, and her fingers were trembling violently, almost uncontrollably pointing at Ran He, and she was filled with indignation - how dare this unreasonable woman compare herself to that loyal but humble dog? She believed that she had retreated again and again, and sacrificed to the limit. Wasn't this concession enough to show her true feelings?

"I swear I don't want to have anything to do with the Wu family, those vampire-like beings. If you talk to me with such contempt again, you will bear the consequences. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ran He's voice revealed a long-suppressed explosion. After he finished speaking, "bang"

With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut, shaking every speck of dust in the air.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she turned back to the kitchen and continued to busy herself among the smoke and dishes, her back firm and resolute.

Mother Wu's dignity was shattered at this moment, especially in front of her niece. Shame and anger intertwined, making her look almost hideous.

"Ran, Ran He, you... you are so capable, you are so resourceful!"

As he spoke, the bacon hook in his hand was suddenly pulled and broken due to his out-of-control emotions. The crisp sound of metal was particularly harsh in this narrow space.

I thought this piece of bacon could serve as a bridge of peace, but I didn't expect to be met with such a cold rejection.

Su Lanfen standing by had mixed feelings. Although she did not ask about the dispute between the two elders, the success or failure of the mission directly affected her work in the pharmacy.

Once Ran He completely cuts off his dealings with the pharmacy, the owner's anger will definitely affect him.

"aunt……"

"Go, go back!"

Mother Wu was filled with rage, her body shaking uncontrollably. She had no intention of staying any longer, leaving behind only a series of hurried footsteps as she angrily set off on her way home.

The villagers along the way saw Wu's mother's face that was like a dark cloud, and they could guess something without saying a word. They whispered behind her one after another, following her like a shadow.

Wu Younian sat leaning on the doorstep, smoking his pipe one puff after another. He saw his wife come in angrily and the piece of bacon in her hand thrown away before she could show it to him. He knew in his heart that this matter was probably hopeless.

His initial premonition unfortunately came true. Since Ran He was able to resolutely draw a line between himself and the Wu family, how could he be easily moved by Qu's show of goodwill? Wu's mother was too naive after all.

"That Ran He girl, I lowered my posture to ask for peace, saying that I would personally take her back, but she didn't show any mercy at all. She really doesn't know her place!"

There was resentment in Wu's mother's complaints.

Xie Di was secretly delighted in her heart, but she did not forget to add fuel to the fire: "Mom, although she is now living with her child, my second brother is your son after all, and you were once her mother-in-law. You should be more considerate when you speak to her. After all, we are all from the same village. What if my second brother comes home in the future and hears what you said and becomes dissatisfied with her? How will it end then?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Wu's mother's heart.

Indeed, even without Ran He, she still had her ambitious son Wu Xu.

When Wu Xu returns, he will naturally resent Ran He for all the things that happened during the division of the family. Then, let's see what she has to say. He will have to come back and beg for mercy.

Yes, I should write to Yuer immediately, tell him everything at home, and urge him to return as soon as possible to discipline his daughter-in-law.

Mother Wu's anger gradually subsided, but Su Lanfen beside her fell into deep anxiety.

Keeping her job at the pharmacy was of vital importance to her, but her aunt seemed so powerless at the critical moment.

"Aunt, you promised me that you would handle it. If I lose this job, my parents will definitely beat me up! If they knew it was because you failed to convince Ran He, they would definitely blame you!"

There was a mixture of fear and uneasiness in her voice.
