Lin Lan said righteously, “Father, what are you saying? I’m not the one embarrassing you and mother. I have to calculate the exact amount that my children’s father had earned and sent home. Also, I’m going to count how much the youngest aunt and uncle had obtained. Once they earn that amount, they just shouldn’t forget to pay us back, that’s all.”
“What?” Han Jinyu was furious, “Are you crazy? I spent my third brother’s money but I have to give it back to you? At that time, there was no separation, so the third brother’s earnings belonged to the family and should be given to our mother. Once our mother gets it, she has the right to give it to whoever she wants to!”
Lin Lan sneered, “It doesn’t matter what you say. Today, I will ask the Secretary Head to figure it out and tomorrow I will go to the Public Security Bureau of the commune to file a complaint. Han Jinbao stole the allowance of his third brother, but almost starved his sister-in-law, nephew and niece. The children weren’t even capable of going to school. Even if the family was split, he came to his third brother’s house with the intent to commit murder, almost killing his nephew and practically smashing the house to smithereens.”
Lin Lan’s eyes flashed coldly, “You all can wait patiently, because you will go to jail if you don’t pay back the money. And you? You dress like a city person while committing heinous deeds. Your food and your clothes come from my family’s money, but you still demand my daughter to be your maid? Are you a bourgeois eldest lady or the prized daughter of the landlord’s family? You corrupt woman, trying to reason with me? Try all you want then, but just wait and see because I’m definitely not letting this go!”
Han Qingyun looked up at Han Jinyu when she looked like she was planning to fight, “Sister Jinyu, with your name and Jinbao’s name, it’s easy to be fought against. It doesn’t matter that much in the village, but if this were to be brought up in the county town…”
In Han Jinyu’s mind, she suddenly imagined the scenes of going against the teachers. Her classmates once faced the shame of having to shave their heads, hang large repentance signs on their bodies, being demanded to kneel and hit for their wrongdoings… She didn’t dare to imagine herself in their places.
“You dare, you dare… don’t, don’t…”
She was shaking like a leaf, lying on the edge of the kang, “Old Master, you have to save me.”
Han Yongfang sighed, “I’m not the one doing the saving.”
At this point, the amount was calculated.
Han Qingyun exclaimed, “Oh, it’s incredible, how could brother Qingsong make so much money? In the past ten years, he had sent back a total of 7,521 Yuan. How good of him!”
Lin Lan was also stunned. She estimated that Han Qingsong had earned around 5,000 Yuan, but she didn’t expect there to be so much!
But when she thought about it, he worked hard for this. Most of what he got were various subsidies and rewards instead of allowances and wages. Technically, he wagered his life to obtain this money.
Sometimes his allowance was only 17 Yuan, but he could get 30 Yuan. When his salary was 21 Yuan, he would get 40 Yuan.
In fact, he worked very hard out there just to make more money and send it home, often doubling or tripling the bonus.
However, Old Lady Han, the youngest uncle and aunt were not grateful at all. Instead, they even took it for granted.
This family situation was just too nasty.
After the family split this time, Lin Lan originally wanted to live her life well, ignoring the previous deeds. It was also meant to leave some form of reputation for Old Man Han and Old Lady Han. After all, they were his parents and that would never change, unfortunately.
