Haotian was very grateful, “Thank you, Third Aunt.”
Lin Lan said a few more words of comfort and told Eldest Sister-in-law Han to rest.
Gumi raised her head and said timidly, “Third Aunt, thank you.”
Lin Lan smiled at her, “You don’t need to thank me since you still have to live by yourselves.”
Lin Lan was very pleased that Haotian could stand up and support his mother. Everyone always liked people who were self-reliant and willing to stand up for themselves, so she was going to help if she could.
Haotian never really had a sense of existence. Like Dawang, he was not talkative but worked with adults every day. He was honest and hardworking, equipped with a generous personality that never played tricks or slacked.
In the past, Lin Lan had never spoken much to him except to say hello when meeting him face-to-face.
Looking at this matter today, with Haotian standing up, even if Eldest Brother Han wasn’t going to say anything, Eldest Sister-in-law Han was still going to be supported.
This was also the reason why rural women must have sons nowadays. When encountering problems and their husbands remained incompetent, the sons could be the ones who supported them.
It’s just that this kind of family matter was also a pain to deal with for officials.
Lin Lan took her leave first and Second Sister-in-law Han disapproved when she saw her. She thought that Lin Lan was taking the opportunity to get on Eldest Sister-in-law’s good side.
Lin Lan didn’t care about her, though.
The east room was filled with smoke billowed by Old Man Han. In fact, he himself was caught in the smoke.
Han Qingsong didn’t smoke and no one at home smoked either. His throat was a little unaccustomed to it as he coughed twice.
The old lady was still crying and wiping her tears, asking her son to bring justice for her.
“Old Three, tell me, tell me!”
Han Qingsong, “I think the family should be separated. Mother and father should not work anymore and us sons will take care of you.”
“Separating the family? Aren’t you putting it nicely? What will happen to your youngest siblings if things don’t work out?” Old Lady Han started crying again. She didn’t understand why they were all against her.
In fact, the old couple were not very old. In the countryside, farmers basically worked until old age, especially for the man. If you really wanted him to rest, he would not get used to it and he was prone to get sick.
As long as he could still go to the field without getting sick, most would continue working at the age of 70 or 80. The old women also brought their children to cook at home instead of not really doing anything at home.
But Old Lady Han, who was bullied by her mother-in-law back then, finally managed to outlive her mother-in-law and became one herself. Hence, she couldn’t help but want to make up for the injustices she suffered back then.
She thought that it was right for her to train her daughter-in-law, so she had to make her daughter-in-law be afraid of her and let them serve her like an Empress Dowager.
Otherwise, it would be unbalanced.
Han Qingsong said, “Old Four works very quickly on the farm and earns his work points. As long as he works hard, he will not worry about getting married.”
As for Han Jinyu, it’s only right for her to earn work points to support herself. Plus, it’s okay to get married after two years.
