Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

Wu Ming's accusation was as sharp as a needle.

Mother Wu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and cheered up instantly, "That's right! Only my family members know where I hid the money. Everyone is busy working in the fields, and you are the only one who has nothing to do all day, wandering around the house. You must know where the money is!"

There was confidence and anger in her voice, as if the truth was at her fingertips.

The noise continued one after another. Ran He rubbed his ears impatiently, with a hint of cold sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Mother Wu also never worked in the fields. Does that mean she is not a suspect?"

Her eyes were like ice, coldly sweeping over everyone present. Looking at their impatient expressions, she knew clearly in her heart - this money was originally the resettlement fee that Wu Xu brought back for them and their son.

However, not only were they greedy and took all the money for themselves, they also treated the mother and son like servants.

Taking this money now is just a way to vent my anger for the injustice I have suffered for a long time.

"I'll say it again, if you insist that I took your money, please provide solid evidence. Otherwise, don't blame me for asking the village chief for justice. It's not okay to frame me without any evidence!"

Ran He's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily, especially for Wu's mother, it was like a hard slap in the face.

Wu's mother was extremely anxious but helpless as she had no solid evidence.

She had no way to deal with Ran He and could only let him retort.

"Every penny I make is earned from the hard work of picking herbs one by one. To be honest, just today, I made a full ten taels of silver. This is my hard-earned money, and no one can take a penny from me!"

Her pain was like a knife cutting her heart, and Ran He's nonchalant comment of eighty taels a day was undoubtedly salt in the wound.

The resentment in his heart had no outlet to vent and could only accumulate in his chest...even though Su Lanfen once mentioned in casual conversation after dinner that Ran He made a living by selling herbs.

But when Ran He himself confirmed that the amount of money he received that day was as high as ten taels of silver, the shock he brought was undoubtedly different and profound.

For their family, this amount is hard to come by even with years of hard work. It makes one sigh at the huge difference in fate between people, which is enough to make one jealous.

The fact that Ran He could easily earn such a huge income in one day undoubtedly dispelled the previous accusations.

Her act of stealing for petty gain was particularly absurd.

The current situation is becoming increasingly awkward. The original charges have been proven false, but it was not their intention to return empty-handed.

Even if the money was not stolen by Ran He, they firmly believed that Ran He was to blame for the damage to Wu Yue's reputation. Perhaps they could use this opportunity to put pressure on Ran He, forcing him to make compensation out of fear and thus satisfy their greed.

"Let's put aside the issue of money for now, but since you have ruined Wu Yue's marriage, this matter won't be resolved so easily! Do you know what kind of a well-matched marriage you have destroyed? The whole family's hopes were pinned on this marriage, hoping to change their fate, but now everything has been shattered because of you. You must pay the price for this and compensate them!"

Wu's mother was filled with rage and almost wanted to rush forward to fight with Ran He, but after hearing her mother's suggestion, a sense of calculating calm suddenly arose in her heart.

Since the engagement can no longer be redeemed, it would be a form of compensation if some money could be squeezed out of Ran He.

This money will be used to fill her dowry in the future, and perhaps she will still have a chance to marry into a good family and escape her current predicament.

"You are right. You should compensate me with ten taels of silver as my mental damages, and give me an extra five taels of silver as my private savings. This way, we are even."

Wu's mother spoke with confidence, as if the money had already fallen safely into her pocket, and her self-righteous look made it difficult to refute.

Xie Di was stunned as she listened. She didn't even dare to hope for two taels of silver.

He was shocked by the fact that Lioness Wu asked for fifteen taels of silver.

Would Ran He agree to such a request? She was unsure, but Wu Younian knew.

Based on his understanding of Ran He's character, he knew that Wu's mother and Wu Yue's requests would probably be flatly rejected.

"hehe."

Ran He chuckled. The shamelessness of this family once again refreshed her understanding of the bottom line of human nature.

"Even if I said it, what would it matter? Everything I said is true. Do you really have no idea about what kind of person Wu's mother is? I am helping you avoid greater disasters in the future. Imagine if Wu Yue is seen through by the master as a hypocrite after she marries him, and they turn against each other, wouldn't you be implicated? How can you live a good life?"

Upon hearing this, Wu's mother was so angry that her facial features were almost distorted. She rolled up her sleeves in rage, as if she was going to argue with Ran He to the end.

This mother and daughter have exactly the same temperament. A little spark can ignite a raging anger.

"You're welcome, I just mentioned it casually."

There was a hint of provocation and disdain in Ran He's smile.

Since this family was so stubborn, there was no need for her to make any more unnecessary concessions. Instead, she wanted to see who could finally defeat the other party's arrogance.

"You ruined Wu Yue's good marriage, and you're still making excuses?"

Wu's mother and Wu Yue were like two fighting cocks with high morale. They stared with wide eyes and questioned Ran He fiercely.

"Why should I have no reason? Isn't it a recognized virtue to tell the truth when someone asks?"

Ran He asked back, his tone revealing a calm and firm tone.

Ran He raised his hands lightly, making a helpless yet provocative gesture, with a sly smile on the corners of his mouth, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke the other party.

"Oh, why waste your breath? Just be direct. Either teach me a lesson or prepare some silver for compensation. Otherwise, don't expect this matter to be resolved peacefully!"

There was an unquestionable firmness in her voice. Wu Ming's face turned red and white, and he was so angry that he felt like there was a breath of air in his chest that was about to explode.

As far as the Wu family can remember, they have never suffered such blatant provocation and insult. Ran He's seemingly nonchalant but actually aggressive behavior made everyone in the Wu family feel unprecedented anger and humiliation, as if a raging fire was burning in their chest, unstoppable.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a spark could set the whole scene off, Zhu Cuihua appeared in everyone's sight at the right time, and her arrival seemed to bring a glimmer of hope.

It turned out that she was late because she went to seek emergency reinforcements from the village chief.

Even in her heart, she had reservations about the village chief's fairness.

She even vaguely felt that he might favor the powerful Wu family, but she still held out a glimmer of hope. After all, as the village chief, his status as village chief could at least have a certain deterrent effect.
