Chapter 144 The Wu Family’s Mistake
"This matter really has nothing to do with me. I ensure that every mushroom I pick is intact."
Wu Yue's defense seemed a bit redundant, and instead made people feel that she was covering up something.
She glared at Ran Erni angrily, with both accusation and helplessness in her eyes.
At this moment, what was frozen in the air was not only the embarrassment, but also the truth that was about to be revealed.
It's all because of you, right?! Right?! You deliberately mixed those broken mushrooms in to try to pass them off as genuine. Who else but you could do such a despicable thing?!
Wu Yue's anger was like boiling magma, gushing out from the bottom of her heart, hot and painful.
The work had just begun on the second day and was shrouded in chaos. What was even worse was that this mess was caused by an outsider. The outcome was self-evident; Ran Erni's elimination was a foregone conclusion.
But Wu Yue had never foreseen that this bitter fruit might be tasted by the entire Wu family, and a storm was about to sweep across this peaceful little village.
This... this is really just a misunderstanding. Maybe I accidentally confused the defective products with the good ones in my busy schedule.
Ran Erni's voice was weak and her face was timid. Facing the accusations, she dared not make any excuses. She only hoped to calm the storm, even if only a little bit.
However, Ran He was not a person who would give up easily: If it was really an error, why don't we inspect it in public, pour it all out, and take a closer look? If the number is limited, I am willing to believe that this is just an unintentional mistake on your part; but if the number of broken mushrooms is alarming, I have to suspect that all this is intentional on your part.
These words were like a sharp dagger that pierced Ran Erni's heart, because she had indeed added more than several kilograms of rotten mushrooms without authorization just for the sake of a few cents of profit.
Perhaps a mistake of one pound could be covered up by making up an excuse, but with such a large amount of adulteration, any reasonable explanation seems pale and powerless.
Zhu Cuihua was taciturn. After just an eye contact, she immediately followed Ran He's instructions and emptied the two mushroom bags onto the ground neatly.
For a moment, the good mushrooms and the broken inferior ones were clearly distinguished, and the truth was like sunlight penetrating through the clouds, lying naked before everyone's eyes.
Ran He's accusation was directed at Ran Erni, and the evidence was irrefutable.
Wu Yue was so angry that her face turned purple, and her chest felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it difficult for her to breathe.
He regretted why he let Ran Erni join in, which led to a series of disturbances and troubles today.
The evidence is irrefutable, and there is no need to elaborate. Ran Erni, from now on, you will not be allowed to participate in mushroom collection. Even if you collect mushrooms, I will never accept them. At the same time, because the Wu family is indirectly involved, they must share the consequences and lose their eligibility to participate.
Ran He's words echoed in the air like thunder, cold and resolute, leaving no room for maneuver.
There was silence all around, with only her words echoing in the air. Everyone knew that such behavior could not be forgiven, so no one dared to speak up for the Wu family. They just secretly warned themselves not to be greedy for small profits and do foolish things like selling inferior goods as good ones, otherwise they might be the next one to be excluded from the group.
Wu Yue stood up suddenly, filled with indignation, and cried out in injustice: Ran Erni secretly swapped the chopped mushrooms, I knew nothing about it, why should she deprive the Wu family of the right to pick mushrooms? !
This job was like a sweet rain, nourishing the Wu family's impoverished life, bringing in extra income, reducing family disputes, making them less tight on money, and Wu Yue no longer had to use her precious dowry to supplement the family income.
Once this hard-earned source of income is lost, the harmony of the family will probably be shrouded in the shadow of quarrels and poverty again, and return to those gloomy days.
There is no villager with the surname He in Fushan Village. It was your Wu family who took advantage of the quota to accept her, so her behavior is naturally regarded as the behavior of the Wu family. As a representative of the Wu family, her mistake is the Wu family's mistake. Do you have any objection to this?
Ran He's words were calm, resolute, and every word was of great significance. Wu Yue's protest seemed so powerless in the face of her rock-hard logic and was completely defeated.
Ran He calculated the mushroom account for the day meticulously, eliminating the weight of all the broken mushrooms, and the deserved compensation was exactly the same.
But she also clearly warned that if it happens again, not a single mushroom, even the best one, would be accepted because it was a matter of principle.
At this time, the weighing was still going on. Wu Yue was still angry and returned home with heavy steps, while Ran Erni was full of guilt with two lines of tears on her cheeks.
She understood that Ran He was targeting her today and put all the blame on her.
In fact, this was just her first attempt to do something, but she never thought that before she could really succeed, her secret was exposed and all her fantasies were shattered in an instant.
In full view of the public, Ran He's ruthless words were like a sharp dagger, piercing through every gap in the crowd and striking people's hearts.
Such a scene undoubtedly foreshadows that a storm is about to hit the Wu family courtyard, and for her who has just lost face in front of everyone, returning to that small safe haven may not necessarily bring her peace and comfort.
On the other side, in Xie Di’s simple but cozy little house, the sunlight shone through the window lattices into every corner, but it did not seem to bring much warmth.
Today, she made an exception and did not set foot in the familiar mushroom forest. Instead, she chose to stay at home, busy with one trivial housework after another, but her heart was still unsettled.
Just when I finished hanging the last piece of clothing and was about to step into the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for my family, I heard heavy footsteps outside the door. Then the figures of Wu Yue and Ran Erni came into view almost at the same time. They both had their own thoughts on their faces, especially Wu Yue, who frowned and his eyes revealed the pain and anger of losing something precious.
The atmosphere in the room was depressing and solemn. The pipe in Wu Younian's hand flickered with sparks under the dim light. He took a puff occasionally, and his face looked even more haggard in the smoke.
Wu's mother, who was standing by, was groaning slightly because of the pain from her injuries. The sound was particularly harsh in the quiet space.
At first, the two of them were immersed in their own thoughts and did not notice the strangeness of Wu Yue and his wife's return, until Wu Yue sat down hard, accompanied by a loud "bang" of the wooden board, which shook the whole house as if it trembled. The two of them were suddenly awakened, and when their eyes met, they were full of confusion and uneasiness.
"What happened?"
Wu Younian's voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he was caught off guard by the sudden tense atmosphere.
Wu Yue's response seemed to be an outlet for the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for a long time. His words were filled with uncontrollable anger: "What else could it be! It's all your precious niece's fault! She started to have evil thoughts the second day when she went to pick mushrooms.
