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

"Didn't I tell you that your aunt just separated from the Gu family and is raising three children on her own? Life is not easy. How can you just take someone else's things so casually?"

There was a mixture of blame and confusion in the mother's voice, and she stared at Xiao Gou Dan sternly.

Xiao Gou Dan blinked his big innocent eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He didn't know how to defend himself for a moment, so he could only carefully repeat Ran He's words, every word revealing his grievance and seriousness.

After hearing this, the mother's expression gradually softened. She realized that she might have misunderstood her child's innocent behavior, and a feeling of guilt welled up in her heart.

"You said Ran He specifically asked you to pick fresh mushrooms and fungus for her, and promised to give you money as a reward? Did you ask her why she needed these? Is there something missing at home?"

There was a hint of doubt in the mother's tone. These ingredients were not easy to preserve and would spoil if left for too long. How could a woman like Ran He need so many for no reason? Was she trying to take this opportunity to secretly support them, an orphan and a widow?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, the mother couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

Although there was some doubt in Ran He's words, it was pointless to blame anyone now that things had come to this. What was important was how to overcome the current difficulties.

"Then go to the kitchen and heat up those vegetables we just picked. We'll have a warm home-cooked meal tonight."

There is love and helplessness in the mother's words. Although the burden of life is heavy, the greatest comfort is to sit together as a family.

On the other side, everyone from the Gu family returned from Ran He, and they all looked gloomy, like roosters that had lost a battle, with their heads hung and their souls lost.

Especially Wu's mother, she was filled with anger and loss, her blood pressure soared, and finally she simply lay down on the bed, never wanting to get up and face this troubled world again.

Wu Ming and Xie Di exchanged complicated looks. As the eldest son, Wu Ming had long been prepared to shoulder the financial burden of the family. He never expected that the family savings disappeared overnight and his mother fell ill because of it. Who should bear this responsibility?

In comparison, Wu Yue's loss did not seem so direct. Although she nominally had a share of the disappeared money, she did not actually hold it in her hands.

What was originally a good marriage between two well-matched families was shattered by Ran He.

Wu Yue was so angry that her teeth itched. If Ran He hadn't been so talkative, how could she have suffered the shame of having her engagement broken off? Her mother had happily planned her future happiness, hoping that she would marry into a wealthy family and enjoy endless glory. Now everything was in vain. What awaited her was the ridicule and pointing fingers of the neighbors. How could she face people in the future?

Wu Younian smoked his pipe silently, his brows furrowed in the smoke, and he was filled with anger. But now that things have come to this, what can anger alone change?

"Mom, think about it carefully. Apart from Ran He, who else in this world would know where you hid the money? Maybe she really didn't take the money. We can't let the real thief go unpunished."

Wu Ming was extremely anxious, and behind his words, he had his own plans hidden.

If he could get the lost money back, it would be a good opportunity to persuade his mother to hand over the family finances. In this way, he could run the family according to his own wishes.

"Who else could it be if not her? She's the only one in the Gu family who wants us to have a hard time! I hide my money in such a secret place, and I always wait until no one is around before I take action. How could others know?"

Mother Wu's attitude was as firm as iron. She believed that Ran He was the culprit, and she was too lazy to doubt anyone else.

In her mind, this series of misfortunes were the result of Ran He's planning. If Ran He hadn't been clamoring to split up the family all day long, how could this family have ended up in such a state?

What made her even more angry was that Ran He was obviously knowledgeable about herbs and had superb cooking skills, but he pretended to know nothing at home and was idle all day. Wasn't this obviously playing tricks on them? Such behavior made Wu's mother furious, but she could do nothing about it.

Wu Ming's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of helplessness and frustration flashed in his eyes. When he mentioned the items left by his grandmother in the money box, his tone was full of unwillingness.

"We clearly heard that grandma's precious relics were stored there, but we searched Ran He's house many times and didn't see even a trace of it."

There was a hint of resentment in his words. Thinking of the delicious fresh meat hanging in Ran He's kitchen, he wished he could cut off a piece to comfort his desire for a better life.

He muttered to himself, why could they only eat dry and hard steamed bread and pickled vegetables to survive, and even a taste of meat became a luxury, while Ran He, a weak woman with a child, could have no worries about food and clothing and live a rich life? How could this world be described as "unfair".

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Wu Younian suddenly shouted, echoing in the small house like a thunderclap. His eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and they were wide open. That aura made everyone in the room silent in an instant, even Wu's mother, who was usually sharp-tongued, could not help but shut her mouth.

Although Wu Younian is usually a kind person, once he gets angry, he will be swift and decisive, and no one dares to go against him.

"You are right? You can't keep the family wealth, and you still have the nerve to make excuses? Regardless of whether the money was taken by Ran He, it is your responsibility if it is lost. As for Yue Er's marriage, there is no sign of the marriage gift, and you are spreading it everywhere. How can Yue Er save her face in the future?"

Wu Younian's words were like sharp arrows, hitting the point directly and leaving Wu's mother speechless for a moment. The grievance and unwillingness in her heart could only turn into a silent back as she turned away sadly.

She knew in her heart that her family's current blame was not without reason, but wasn't all this caused by Ran He, the woman who always stirred up trouble?

Wu Younian took a deep breath and continued with a serious expression, "The family savings are gone, and the remaining food can barely keep us fed and clothed. No matter what method you use, whether you beg your brother or ask him to return it, the money must be returned, because it was the hard-earned money of our Gu family."

Wu Ming also fell into deep thought. Since the money could not be recovered, asking his uncle for help seemed to be the only way out. After all, his mother gave it away without authorization, so she should solve this problem. But when he thought of this, his heart sank a little more, knowing the complexity and subtlety of the matter.

When Wu's mother heard this, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and her face was full of bitterness of being in a dilemma.

This home is where she grew up. If she really goes to collect the debt, will this family relationship be able to continue in the future?

If I were to be wronged again in the future, I'm afraid my brother wouldn't stand up for me like he did before.

What's more, when she sent the money to her mother's family, she had a little plan in mind. She hoped that the money could serve as a bridge of family affection and would not need to be returned, so as to enhance the relationship between the two families.
