Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband
Chapter 99 Dilemma
In this woman's eyes, the pressure of survival is like an invisible mountain, oppressing everyone's nerves day after day, making it difficult to breathe.
Ripples appeared in Wu's mother's heart, and a feeling of uneasiness quietly spread.
"In every letter he wrote, he always reminded us to take good care of Dabao and Xiaobao. How would he react if he knew that Ran He had taken the children away and set up a household on his own?"
After she finished speaking, her eyes revealed deep worry.
Seeing this, Xie Di hurriedly comforted them: "Ran He's choice is her personal wish. Who in the village doesn't know about the division of the family? We don't need to bear guilt for this. Besides, blood is thicker than water. After all, he is your flesh and blood. How can I really be angry with you?"
Although Xie Di's words seemed light-hearted and she tried to lighten the solemn atmosphere, the worries on Wu's mother and Wu Younian's faces did not dissipate. It seemed that the answers to all their questions could only be solved when Wu Xu returned.
"But it will take several days for Wu Xu to return. How can we make a living in the next few days? The rice jar at home is empty, and the thin soup and water in recent days are chilling. How can we survive this hunger and hardship?"
Xie Di's tone was mixed with dissatisfaction and bitterness. As a housewife who worked day and night, what she longed for was not only food and clothing on the table, but also the dignity and decency that had gradually faded away due to her difficult life over the years.
In the past, mutual help among neighbors was so natural, and lending food to each other was like a greeting between family members, simple and pure.
However, ever since the wealth Wu Xu brought back gave the family a new look, people inside and outside the village were talking about it, and she couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride in front of others.
Now, this sudden change has put her in a dilemma. If she seeks help again, she will not only face possible rejection, but also have to endure the contempt and ridicule that have turned from the envious eyes she once had. This is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching pain for her who has a strong self-esteem.
"We just have to hold on a little longer. Once Wu Xu returns, all our difficulties will be solved."
Although Xie Di said this, her heart was filled with bitterness and anxiety, and the wrinkles between her brows became deeper as she missed her young son at home.
"It's okay for us adults to go hungry for a few meals, but if Yaozu and Yaozhu ask why even a piece of candy has become a luxury, how will you face their disappointment, mother?"
"I would like to have a solution, but are you forcing me to go astray?"
Wu's mother's response showed both helplessness and fatigue.
The disputes with her mother's family have not yet been resolved, and suddenly she is caught in another storm in her life. As an ordinary woman, how can she conjure up real salvation from this predicament?
The pressure of life almost suffocated her.
In Xie Di's eyes, the money that Wu Yue had saved with great difficulty seemed to be a ray of hope to alleviate the current predicament.
She thought that by marrying into a respectable family in the town, Wu Yue would be able to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life, so the amount of money she took from her family to subsidize her wedding must be quite a lot.
Now, the engagement was like a bubble blown by a breeze, shattered in an instant. Xie Di insisted that the savings should be used as an emergency weapon to fill the gaps in the family, which would be a wise move.
Facing her daughter Wu Yue's impending failed marriage, Xie Di's heart was filled with reluctance and determination.
Even though there may be friction between mother and daughter, or even a breakdown in their relationship, the blood connection makes Xie Di believe that maintaining the overall interests of the family is above all personal emotions.
She was ready to do whatever it took for her son's well-being.
After some deep thought, Wu's mother gradually agreed with Xie Di's opinion, and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, she had foresight and secretly reserved a small sum of money for Wu Yue. This was like the last straw in the storm, preventing hope from being completely annihilated.
If not, I am afraid that even this last support will be ruthlessly taken away by the storm of life, leaving only endless darkness and despair.
"Yuer, my Yueer, come to the kitchen for a moment!"
Mother Wu's voice penetrated the crack in the wooden door and reached Wu Yue's ears clearly.
Even though it was just a fragment of the conversation, Wu Yue had sensitively captured the meaning and realized that what her mother asked was to use the funds she had secretly stored to solve the current difficulties.
This sudden request spread quickly in her heart like weeds, arousing an irrepressible resistance.
Although her dream of marriage had been shattered, she still held on to the hope that she could find a good man to trust in the future. The dowry she had carefully prepared was all she hoped for a better life in the future. Once she was forced to let it go, it would be like a stone thrown into the abyss, which could never be found again. It was a complete loss that she could not bear.
"Your home was robbed and all your savings were gone. Now is the time to put the money you secretly hid to good use."
Mother Wu's words were full of irrefutable determination, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Wu Yue's heart.
Wu Yue had no intention of backing down, and asked firmly, "My family is robbed, what can I do? I will get married eventually, and this money is for my future. Once I give it to my family, how can I protect my future?"
When Wu's mother heard this, her anger surged like a tide. She had never expected Wu Yue to have such a tough attitude.
After all the years of hard work, was all I got in return was my daughter's indifference and selfishness?
"Why are you still talking about your dowry! Before you leave this house, everything you have belongs to the Gu family! Besides, Wu Xu will be back soon, and money will no longer be a problem. We will naturally consider compensating you!"
Wu Yue had mixed feelings. She knew that Wu Xu would be returning soon, but she hadn't heard from him for a month. She had a big question mark in her heart as to whether his return could really be a timely help to his family.
She stands at the crossroads of life. On one hand, there is her firm determination to protect her future. On the other hand, there is the affection and responsibility of the family who raised her. The conflict between the two makes her torn.
Although she was extremely unwilling, openly resisting under the roof of the Gu family would undoubtedly be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the whole country, which was something she did not want to see.
Finally, Wu Younian's patience ran out, and his voice was more severe than ever before: "I've raised you for so many years, and now at this critical moment, you're still separating us? If you don't take out that money for an emergency today, you will no longer recognize me as your father, and you will never set foot in this house again!"
These words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the air and hurting Wu Yue's heart.
Mother Wu's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand, and an indescribable emotion surged in her chest.
Although she was also burning with anger in her heart, as Wu Yue's mother, those hurtful words were like thorns stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit them out no matter what.
