Hearing what Haotian said, Lin Lan was very relieved. When dealing with someone like the old lady, one had to be ruthless.
Eldest Brother Han didn’t react but Old Lady Han burst into tears, complaining that both her sons and her grandchildren were being unfilial and she had no more reason to live.
“Why do you all need to care for the elderly anymore? Leave, leave, all of you! The eldest should leave as well! Us parents raised you since you were little but now we are nothing but a burden.”
Lin Lan couldn’t help but ridicule, “If you want to be calculative, then what is the point of getting a wife at all? You should stay with the family until you grow old. So, don’t marry a wife and don’t have grandchildren at all.”
After ridiculing the old lady, she was happy. Humming a little tune, her steps were extraordinarily brisk as she walked away.
After all, this was the first time she walked alone with Dawang. Lin Lan wanted to say something since she was feeling rather happy, but even though she tried to speak several times, she couldn’t think of anything in particular to say.
This kid had a strong aura at such a young age, but it made her a little nervous. He wasn’t going to be as easy to fool as other children.
She could practically say anything to Erwang and Maisui, pinch Sanwang whenever she wanted and make sure that Xiaowang was always happy to see her.
However, this kid was different. Because he remained serious all day long, she was a bit confused about his thoughts.
At this Motherent, he didn’t say a word, merely turning on the flashlight to illuminate her path while walking steadily.
Lin Lan was thinking about something, causing her to slip and almost fall.
Dawang immediately supported her.
He flashed the spot she slipped on with a flashlight and guessed that someone picked up had splashed water all over there, which formed a layer of ice that made that part of the floor slippery.
Lin Lan wiped off her cold sweat. Fortunately, Dawang was there. Otherwise, she would have had a hard fall.
She held Dawang’s hand and carefully waded across the ice field, making her think that she was old.
But it was also a topic of conversation.
“Aiya, I’m lucky to have you. Otherwise, I would have been in a miserable position today,” For a boy with chuunibyou(1) symptoms like him, thanking him in a straightforward manner would elicit a sneer from the boy.
(T/N: Known as second-grade illness, it’s a phase that some teenagers would go through, making them believe and behave the way a main character from a fictional manga would)
Sure enough, Dawang didn’t say a word, but his flashlight shone more carefully in front of her feet. His own legs disappeared into the darkness, but his footsteps were not affected at all.
Lin Lan was happy and decided to continue coaxing him, “Indeed having both sons and daughters are good. Daughters are the soft pillow you need whereas sons will grow up to be your pillar. If there isn’t anyone to take a stand at home, it really wouldn’t be that safe. Aiya, thinking about it, having four sons is a good thing. “
