Chapter 7 Hand over the money
Those hiding places were very attractive to someone as meticulous as Ran He.
They are just some trivial tricks, how can they really stop her?
Just as she was feeling somewhat proud, she was holding a few round and smooth eggs and a handful of high-quality noodles in her hands.
I was secretly planning to cook a bowl of egg noodles for the children.
The light outside the house was suddenly blocked by the shadow cast by a figure.
Xie Di had a look of surprise and dissatisfaction on her face, and she stared at Ran He with sharp eyes, as if she had caught a thief.
"Mom! Look at Ran He, she actually stole something! Look what she has in her hand!"
Xie Di's words were full of blame and displeasure, but Ran He had a faint smile on her face, as if all this was within her expectations.
When Wu's mother heard the sound, the cooking spatula in her hand fell to the edge of the pot with a clang.
Without time to think about it, the anxiety in my heart spread like wildfire and I rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry.
At a glance, seeing the egg in Ran He's hand, Mother Wu suddenly felt her chest tighten and she almost fainted.
In this difficult year, which family can afford such luxury?
"You are really becoming more and more lawless! Don't you consider the actual situation of our family? The weather has not been good this year. There is a serious drought and the crops have failed. Every household is tightening their belts to make ends meet, but you are the only one who is spending lavishly! It's okay for you to eat eggs occasionally, but you want to do this every day. Ask yourself, who in this world can afford such an appetite of yours!"
In addition to anger, Wu's mother's tone was filled with deep worry about the future.
At this time, Wu's mother tried to snatch the egg from Ran He's hand.
It seemed that he wanted to use this as a final warning to Ran He, but Ran He just smiled lightly, raised the "trophy" in his hand high, with a provocative light flashing in his eyes.
"Mom, you'd better not use force. If I fall, I'll have to run all over again. I don't feel bad, but you should not feel bad about the money."
Although Ran He's words were light, they were like a heavy hammer hitting Wu's mother's heart.
Her face suddenly turned pale and her body trembled slightly. It was obvious that she was very angry.
At this time, Wu Younian returned home exhausted.
Seeing this, Xie Di hurried forward and began to complain with an aggrieved look: "Dad, look at Ran He. She ate a lot of eggs yesterday and she ate again today. We only have a few eggs in our house. Even if you don't mind her eating and drinking, you can't be so unrestrained."
Wu Younian frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry.
I just met the village chief by chance at the entrance of the village, and learned that this year's harvest may be extremely poor, and the amount of food allocated to their families is pitifully small.
These meager food reserves need to last until the next harvest season.
If you don't budget carefully, the whole family will face long years of hunger.
"Ran He, it's not that I don't understand you, but you've seen the current situation. As a member of the Wu family, you should have some sense of propriety and consider the future of our family. Once the food runs out, you will not be able to escape the fate of starvation."
There was both concern and helplessness in Wu Younian's words.
Xie Di's mind was more focused on her two children, Yaozu and Yaozhu.
Thinking that they hadn't tasted eggs for two days in a row, they mentioned them with anticipation in the morning.
She began to feel dissatisfied and anxious, but she was helpless against Ran He's "domineering" behavior.
"Besides, you have never worked in the fields yourself. Having enough food to eat is already a blessing from your family. Don't ask for more!"
There was a sting in Xie Di's words, and it was obvious that she had been dissatisfied with Ran He for a long time.
Ran He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but this subtle movement made Xie Di's heart tighten.
She knew that next Ran He would most likely mention the two taels of silver that Wu Xu gave to his family as a filial gift every year, and how he made a living through his own efforts.
Behind this, there is both contrast and irony.
After all, although both are descendants of the Wu family, the fates of Wu Ming and Wu Xu are so different.
Wu Xu could not only make a name for himself in the outside world, but also regularly contribute money to his family, while Wu Ming...
It seems much inferior.
Only each of them can experience the ups and downs behind this.
If she had a choice, she would rather let Wu Ming go out and work hard to make a living than have herself and her two children worry about every meal on the table.
Father, you want to go back on your words today? I didn't waste anything I ate, why can't I eat it? You insisted on not using the hard-earned money Wu Xu sent back, and we were short of money and couldn't afford to buy food, so we had to rely on the food at home.
A smile appeared on Ran He's face, which seemed "playful" but was actually full of deep meaning.
Her eyes flashed with determination that could not be ignored: "From now on, give us three children six eggs every day. I can endure hunger, but the children's growth cannot be delayed, and they cannot go hungry. If you can't do it, please take out the money, and we will separate and live our own lives."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, as if a tiny needle dropping to the ground could cause a huge echo.
As soon as Wu's mother raised her voice a little, the neighbors' gossip would come flooding in like a tide.
Let this little home become a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.
You want us to hand over the money we have worked so hard to save to you? That is just wishful thinking!
Mother Wu unconsciously put her hands on her waist, with a tough attitude and clenched teeth, looking like she would never give in.
Ran He raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her tone contained a bit of wisdom that could see into people's hearts.
This caused Wu's mother's previous momentum to weaken instantly, as if all her secrets were revealed.
Mother, are you reluctant to give the money because you feel bad about it, or are you not with the money right now? Have you spent it all, or have you helped other people? I heard that my uncle's family is short of funds for building a new house, so please don't tell me that you lent the money to my uncle?
These words were like a bolt of lightning that broke the silence, and Mother Wu's face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
Wu Younian's gaze was like a sharp sword, fixed on his wife.
Wu Younian had previously said that the family was in financial difficulty, and his mother did not make much of an excuse.
In addition, the He family never mentioned the matter again, so he did not pursue it further.
However, he had not personally managed the family's finances for a long time, and the key was in the hands of Wu's mother. What if the money was really secretly misappropriated to his in-laws...
Ran He, what nonsense are you talking about!
Ran He shrugged lightly. Now that the words have been spoken
The next stage was left to Wu Younian. She wanted to see how the storm she had created would end.
True or not, Dad only needs to go back and check the cash box, and the truth will come out. Mom previously blamed me for being unfaithful and unfilial, but what about what she did?
Wu's mother's face was as pale as paper, but Wu Younian was completely unaware of it.
