Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband
Chapter 76 Awkwardness
At that time, she was in charge of the family finances, and the inflow and outflow of a certain amount of money did not attract much attention. She never expected that she would be in such an embarrassing situation today.
"I've been feeling unwell lately. How about giving me a few more days?"
There was some hesitation and powerlessness in Wu's mother's words, and she was obviously less resolute than before.
At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and everyone had not yet had a full breakfast, so their stomachs were empty and their moods were getting increasingly depressed.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness. Normally, it was time for Wu's mother to get up and prepare lunch, but her symptoms of high blood pressure were severe. She felt dizzy as soon as she stood up, and even had difficulty standing firmly on her feet.
Wu Yueyi, a woman whose fingers are as slender as orchids and who has never been easily exposed to the mundane world, has long been unfamiliar and alienated with the trivial housework at home.
At this moment, her marriage was like the falling leaves in autumn, silently announcing its end, making daily chores such as cooking by herself even more of a fantasy for her.
In such a family structure, it seems to be against common sense for a man to cook, so all eyes and expectations are involuntarily focused on Xie Di.
In the past, Xie Di always prepared hot meals silently without waiting for instructions, but this time, her heart was full of grievances and unwillingness.
After all, not only did she not receive the slightest gratitude or material compensation, she also watched her finances become increasingly tight, fearing that she would not even be able to afford a decent meat meal in the days ahead. Yet she still had to continue to shoulder this burden that no one was willing to take over.
Although her words were light and slightly resentful, they were as clear as a needle drop to the ground, clearly falling into everyone's heart and stirring up ripples of dissatisfaction.
Despite this, seeing Xie Di finally getting up and walking towards the kitchen, everyone could only suppress their resentment and silently swallow the pent-up emotions back into their hearts.
At this time, Wu Younian's gaze slowly turned to Wu Yue. The changes in his marriage seemed to make his original concerns unnecessary.
His tone was less polite and more straightforward, "My daughter, why don't you learn from your sister-in-law and do more housework? If you get married in the future, how will you live?"
Wu Yue's face was slightly gloomy, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
Where have those gentle words gone?
Could it be that just because the marriage didn't go through, the attitudes of the people around her changed drastically? How could she accept this?
No, she couldn't give in.
I must find a more decent home for myself instead of being trapped here, working hard for the livelihood of this big family.
"No, I have to write a letter to Yu'er and ask him to come home as soon as possible. Look at what Ran He has done! After all, I am her elder, and she dares to make me angry like this. When Yu'er comes back, I will make him teach Ran He a lesson and make her kneel down in front of me to admit her mistake!"
A decision seemed to flash through Wu's mother's mind. She suddenly stood up, holding her forehead with one hand, as if she had found a ray of hope in the midst of her splitting headache.
She asked Wu Yue to bring paper and pen, with determination flashing in her eyes.
In her opinion, no matter what, Wu Xu would not turn a blind eye to the turmoil in his family.
Wu Younian seemed a little hesitant, "Yu'er is out there running escorts to make money. If you ask him to come back now, I'm afraid we won't get any more money from him in the future."
The family's financial situation was already tight, and they barely survived on the two taels of silver Wu Xu brought back every month.
Once he does come back, that stable income will be gone.
"You don't know that Wu Xu is Ran He's husband. Once he returns home, every penny Ran He earns will be handed over to him. At that time, all matters of the family will be controlled by Yu'er. How much money do we ask him to take out to subsidize the family? How dare he say 'no'?"
Mother Wu's tone was full of confidence and calculation.
By then, wouldn't every penny earned by Ran He flow into his own pocket like a trickle? Just this thought, in Wu Younian's heart, was like a spring breeze blowing across the dry land, giving birth to clusters of joyful flowers, making him happy.
Wu Younian pondered for a moment, and after careful consideration, he felt that this idea was more reliable.
Although Ran He's relationship with the Gu family has ended, Wu Xu is, after all, the son with Gu family blood flowing in his veins. In the future, the responsibility of inheriting the family line and taking care of them in their old age will still fall on his shoulders.
As the head of the family, how could Wu Xu dare to disobey him?
"Quick, write a letter to Yu'er and ask him to come back immediately to discipline his wife. It's not just for the money, we should also have a share of the delicious chickens, ducks, fish and meat in their home."
There was a gleam of greed in Wu Younian's eyes that was hard to conceal.
Since he had accidentally glimpsed such a good thing, how could he let it go easily?
Anyway, Ran He is good at collecting herbs in the mountains and exchanging them for money. Even if her family is left with nothing but poverty after being plundered, she can still make a comeback with her skills.
By then, just giving her some meager rations to sustain her life would be enough to make her work wholeheartedly for the Gu family.
The couple seemed to be in a magnificent dream woven with fantasy, and felt that a happy and fulfilling life was waving to them warmly and was within their reach.
So, the two of them picked up their pens, dipped them in ink, and solemnly began to write the letter, and then asked Wu Ming to hurry to the post office in the town.
Fortunately, Wu Xu left his mailing address before leaving home, so there should be no obstacles to the delivery of the letter.
At lunch time, there was a pot of cornmeal porridge on the table that was so thin that you could almost see your reflection in it. It was barely mixed with a few finely chopped green leaves, and the only side dish was pickled vegetables that had been in a jar for a long time.
In such a tight financial situation, Xie Di would never dare to handle even that small piece of meat without Wu's mother's approval.
However, today the old couple are looking forward to the good days that will begin after Wu Xu's return. Even such a simple meal is eaten with gusto, as if every bite is full of sweetness and hope for the future.
They had no idea what kind of storm Wu Xu's return would bring to the family.
This simple meal immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Yaozu and Yaozhu.
On ordinary days, there were always tempting golden eggs floating in their bowls. But now, not only were there no eggs to be found, but even the porridge was cooked and had a burnt smell. Naturally, the brother and sister started to have a quarrel.
"Mom, I don't want to eat this! Why should those new guys enjoy delicious food while we have to swallow these rough things? This is not fair! Mom, can you go and grab their share of meat for us to eat, okay?"
Yaozu and Yaozhu's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Dabao and his family not only often enjoy the delicious rabbit meat, chicken and duck, but they also have their share of puppy eggs. There is always a hint of meaty temptation on the family’s table every day. How can these two spoiled children resist?
From childhood to adulthood, they have never suffered any injustice. These few meals of hunger are like purgatory.
