Old Lady Han and Han Jinyu were going to ask Han Qingsong to help introduce a partner to the girl, which was why they let the Old Three’s family come over for the New Year.
Otherwise, according to her stingy temperament, she wished that Old Three would not be allowed to follow her to worship the ancestors.
Of course, she could just think about it. Ancestor worshipping was a man’s business, so she couldn’t control it.
Han Qingsong greeted his parents first and Lin Lan followed suit. The children immediately greeted their grandparents a happy new year before they placed the dishes on the stove and handed them to Eldest Sister-in-law Han.
She always prepared the meals at home.
Old Man Han was very happy. He looked at each of them and said that the children had grown taller, healthier and studied hard.
This was true especially for Xiaowang. He wondered whose family this beautiful child belonged to because it took a long time for him to recognize his own grandchild.
Old Man Han was very emotional. When the family was not separated, Xiaowang was dirty and thin. He looked like a little monkey and was always behaving stupidly, hiding in the corner all day either crying or trembling.
No one in the family cared about him at all.
Although this was his grandson, he had several, so Old Man Han didn’t pay much attention to him.
At that time, only a few people in the family cared about Xiaowang. After all, his mother hated him and locked him in the house all day long, making him urinate in the house.
But now, look at him. He was tall, fair and clean. Sporting his glasses, he looked like a gentle, well-mannered kid from the city.
He looked really good.
Old Man Han would not dare to admit that he was related to the child if he met him outside the house.
He became more and more emotional. It seemed that the family separation was not a bad thing. At least, the Third Family had corrected their problems and was living a good life.
The old man couldn’t help but think of the Eldest Sister-in-law again because she had been making a fuss recently. Of course he knew what she meant— there was nothing more agonising than to see that Old Three’s family living comfortably, which also made her want to separate her family.
However, the old woman insisted as she disagreed, saying that anyone who separated the family would pretend the two elderly were nonexistent.
Lin Lan saw that Old Han Man’s eyes were scrutinising. He looked at himself for a while and Xiaowang for a while, unable to help muttering.
Old Man Han didn’t say anything else after that as he just sat there, talking to Han Qingsong and his other sons.
It was nothing more than topics concerning ancestor worship, last year’s farm work, work points, food distribution. Also, they talked about how to arrange the next year’s work points so that siblings could work together and help each other.
This was also the general hope fathers had for their sons.
Seeing the food they brought, Old Lady Han felt better, but she still gave Lin Lan a gouged yet sly look on her face, “Third Family, come and walk around the main house often in the future. Don’t let others say that this mother-in-law isn’t allowing you in the door. It would be better than you batting your eyelashes at everyone out there and letting them take advantage of you.”
