Han Qingsong nodded, “We asked the Secretary Head to discuss the pension. The Eldest brother will help take care of our parents while the Second Brother and I will contribute more food.”
Second Brother Han wanted to live with the elderly. After all, now that the both of them were still able and mighty, it would have taken off some of his workload. However, the elderly couple didn’t want him.
As for this, Lin Lan had no objection. After all, every family was also doing things this way.
There were also agreed rules for the elderly in the village. It was impossible for the able elderly to stay at home and enjoy a retired life when they were still fairly young. If anything, the Brigade definitely wouldn’t be happy about that.
After all, it was the era of collective labour right now, so everyone had to do their part.
Now that Old Man Han was still able to work, he had to earn work points, though he didn’t need to give too much. Once he got a bit older, he would no longer need to work and could then rely on his sons to raise and care for him.
After hearing Han Qingsong’s words, Lin Lan smiled and said, “This idea is not something that Haotian can come up with; who gave him the idea?”
Han Qingsong raised his thick eyebrows slightly, “It’s not you?”
“Me…?” Lin Lan smiled and shook her head, “I didn’t say anything. I only promised to ask the Secretary Head for him about lending the house we lived in for a while.”
She wouldn’t give the child blind advice. After all, although she and Eldest Sister-in-law Han have a good relationship on the surface, they never had a heart-to-heart relationship.
When giving advice, if things didn’t turn out well, it would become a mess for them to clear as well since some would put the responsibility on them.
But she really didn’t expect Haotian to have such courage and dare to resist his grandparents. In a sense, he was a very obedient grandson ever since he was a child.
Either way, this method was done to save Eldest Sister-in-law Han from the chaos. It would be a good thing for her to live on her own without enduring the blatantly abusive treatment from the old lady under the same roof.
The one who was caught up in the middle of it all and placed in a difficult position was the Eldest Brother.
Erwang said, “My grandmother truly is getting used to bullying others for a living. Look at her bullying our Eldest Aunt who does nothing but cook and clean for them. In the end, she didn’t end up getting a good life as well.”
Lin Lan said, “Let’s not talk about them anymore, have you poured any water for the dumplings?”
The old lady was still Han Qingsong’s mother and the children’s grandmother. She could be dissatisfied and angry about the elder’s attitude, but she would not complain behind her back. Especially in front of Han Qingsong, she seldom talked about the old lady and others. Naturally, she couldn’t have her children pick up a habit like that.
Erwang had a delicate mind and paid attention to the details of life. In general, she didn’t want her son to give the idea of talking about the elders behind their backs.
Let alone in front of Han Qingsong.
Erwang immediately understood what Lin Lan meant and quickly got some more water, “I’ve done it twice. After opening the lid this time, I think it will be pretty much done.”
