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

Ran He carefully spread the plump mushrooms evenly on the bamboo drying net. They seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, exuding a faint earthy fragrance and natural freshness.

The sunshine these two days was exceptionally good, which was a good time to dry the mushrooms. Ran He thought that after the mushrooms were dried, they could be properly stored in her secret space. There was her treasure house, filled with countless possibilities and hopes.

At the same time, the village chief walked back home with heavy steps, his face full of dark clouds, as if he was carrying an approaching storm with him.

The village chief's wife noticed something was wrong with her husband, and doubts in her heart grew like vines. She kept asking questions, her voice mixed with concern and confusion.

"How is it going? Did Ran He agree to let us participate? I thought, with my nimble hands and feet, I can easily pick hundreds of kilograms of mushrooms a day, which means I can make a fortune. One tael of silver a day, a month later, that's a full thirty taels of silver! Old Liu, think about this money, wouldn't the meat on our table double?"

She was so immersed in her beautiful imagination that she didn't notice that the village chief's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, like the calm before the storm.

Finally, the village chief's suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano, and a roar broke the tranquility of the house: "Enough! Ran He didn't agree. She didn't want to accept the mushrooms we picked."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and the village head's wife was instantly furious.

"What?! She doesn't agree?! Don't you see whose territory this is, Xiao He? Is there anyone who dares not to give face to the village chief? Lao Liu, you have to teach her a lesson!"

Her wish failed and she was filled with remorse and anxiety, running around in circles like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"What's the use! I've even threatened her. If she really doesn't want to take it, can I really force the mushrooms on her? After all, it's because the Gu family is too harsh on their children that forced Ran He to separate from the family. Why not just let the Gu family convince her?"

The village chief took out his anger on the innocent Gu family, but at this time the Gu family was still completely unaware of the situation. They were like lambs to be slaughtered, carrying an inexplicable charge.

"That won't do, Lao Liu, you have to find a way. We can't miss such a good opportunity."

The village chief's wife was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She watched the huge pile of money but was unable to put it into her pocket. The anxiety she felt was more painful than cutting her own flesh.

"Don't worry, I have a plan. When I heard that Ran He was going to the mountain to dig herbs, I sent people to the back mountain to cause trouble. Since we can't dig them, Ran He can't live in peace. One day, she will come to me and ask for help."

The village chief's cold words made the wife feel uneasy. Was this plan too cruel? What if it angered Ran He?

"But how can we tell the difference between herbs and weeds? If we want to clear the herbs from the entire mountain, I'm afraid we need all the strong men in the village to work together. Will they be willing?"

Her concerns were not unnecessary. Deep down in her heart, she hoped to negotiate peacefully with Ran He. Why did they have to get to such a tense point? Wouldn't it be better for both parties to make concessions?

After thinking for a moment, she made a new suggestion: "Old Liu, how about this? I'll go find Wu's mother tonight and ask her to help persuade Ran He to accept everyone's mushrooms. If Ran He is still stubborn, we can mobilize everyone to go to the back mountain. What do you think?"

Faced with his wife's proposal, the village chief had to agree temporarily after weighing the pros and cons. As long as the goal could be achieved, he would not hesitate to let the Gu family come forward.

The news spread quickly in Xiaohe like wings, and all the villagers were ready to try. Others also knew about the careful calculations of the village head's wife.

Such a good thing only takes half a day's work, and the money earned can exceed what men earn from working odd jobs in town for several days. Who can remain indifferent?

Especially since Xiao Gou Dan came back with a full load today, the two big baskets of mushrooms caused quite a stir in the village. More importantly, Ran He really kept his promise and gave enough money.

Some people even saw with their own eyes that Xiao Gou Dan bought a fat old hen in the middle of the night, which is undoubtedly the most direct proof of the increase in wealth...

If it weren't for the mushrooms that grew quietly in the morning dew and carried the fragrance of the soil, and the copper coins that were earned through hard collection, it would have been impossible to easily get such a precious thing as the old hen with plump wings.

Ever since the Gu family's money disappeared like water overnight, their already tight life has become even worse. Their life in the past, although not rich, but at least enough to eat and drink, has suddenly become stretched.

On the dining table, wild vegetables and pickled vegetables, which were once occasional garnishes, have now become the indispensable protagonists of every meal. Even the pot stickers with golden crispy skin, which are usually the children’s favorite, have become a luxury and there is no longer any left.

"Sister Wu, have you recovered even a penny of the money you lost? I say, why don't you report it to the police? You hid it so secretly, but it was still stolen. The thief must know your family's situation very well. Maybe it was someone who knows your family inside and out."

Guan Taohua took advantage of the sunset and the leisurely time after dinner to stroll to the threshold of Wu's mother's house. In name, she was visiting to chat, but in fact, she was secretly spying with a bit of gloating in her heart.

The sisterhood between the two seemed deep and inseparable to outsiders, but in fact, when Wu's mother was in glory, Guan Taohua always felt that she was inferior and couldn't help feeling resentful.

Now, Wu's mother's family situation has reversed and she no longer brags about her children's achievements. Guan Taohua has finally waited for her "turnaround"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, when talking to Wu's mother, his tone naturally became more confident and firm.

"Forget about reporting it to the authorities. Our house has been turned upside down, but there is no clue left. It would be a waste of time for the officials to come. Besides, our Gu family has always behaved properly. If we really alarm the authorities, people might mistakenly think that something unspeakable has happened in our family, and the damage to our reputation will be difficult to recover."

When it comes to calling the police, Wu's mother is full of resistance. Since the money has been lost, there seems to be no other way but to swallow her anger.

"Hey, you may not know since you didn't go out today. Ran He is busy picking mushrooms and fungus. She even asked Xiao Gou Dan from the village to help pick them. It is said that the price is ten coins per pound. This matter has spread in the village and everyone is talking about it."

Hearing this news, Guan Taohua's heart couldn't help but ripples. Even though she had many complaints about Ran He in the past, she always thought that Ran He would live a precarious life without the protection of the Gu family, and they were just waiting to laugh at her.

Unexpectedly, not only did Ran He not fall into trouble, but he was well-off enough to start a purchasing business, and he could even have meat on the table every day.

"What?!"

Mother Wu looked stunned by this, and the first thought that came to her mind was what on earth was Ran He doing?
