Old Lady Han pinched the waistband of her pants, covered her face and cried, “Brother, come and support me. You are forcing me to death; I have no way to survive.”
“Well dang, I didn’t see you cry this badly when your mother-in-law died,” The Secretary Head exposed her acts unceremoniously without trying to think about her reputation.
At that time, Old Lady Han’s mother-in-law stretched her neck and screamed for several days before she finally died. Not only did the old lady not cry, she was also very happy, which was particularly dazzling to the mourners.
No matter what, it was universal for everyone to want to uphold their dignity in public. No matter how many grievances there were, the deceased was the most important figure during the funeral. Even if you were happy in your heart, you still had to pretend to be sad and cry a few times.
Therefore, the old lady’s bright smile back then was considered very disrespectful and most people didn’t like it. It made others gossip about her and it continued for several decades.
This was also considered the biggest dark history of the old lady.
Especially now that the old lady was messing with her daughters-in-law, the villagers were digging up the old stories and chewing them all
over again. Although the old gossip had become tasteless, new information had been added. The daughter-in-law back then became a mother-in-law, but now she was torturing her own daughters-in-law, making the three women no longer want to live with her.
This gossip was tasteful and it truly enlivened the atmosphere of the other houses who loved to discuss rumours. This year, the gossip was particularly interesting.
Han Yongfang generally didn’t like to interfere in other houses’ matters. After all, he was also a father-in-law, so he couldn’t guarantee the quality of his judgement.
Han Qingyun told him several times to persuade Old Man Han and Old Lady Han to separate their families as soon as possible and stop causing trouble all day long.
He didn’t say anything.
Interfering in others’ personal matters and offending others was something that he didn’t want to do. Plus, if the situation wasn’t handled properly, he was going to be blamed as well.
Only this time Han Qingsong came to him and he decided to do it for the sake of the young man.
Though, this time, the old lady was going too far.
After being criticised by someone more dignified and older than herself, Old Lady Han became mute.
When Han Yongfang said that he would allow Haotian to branch out and start his own business, consequently lending them two rooms in the brigade to live in, Old Lady Han covered her heart and said that her heart ached, making her unable to do anything any longer.
Han Yongfang waved his hand directly and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’;; be ready with the village doctor right this moment.”
Old Lady Han declared that she no longer felt any pain.
Seeing that she was no longer causing trouble, Han Yongfang didn’t say much, “It’s settled— you will separate your family on the 8th and 9th day of the lunar month. Stop making trouble because I still have to be busy during the New Year, for goodness’ sake,” After that, he left.
Old Man Han saw him off and when they arrived at the door, Han Yongfang glanced at him and remembered his childhood, noting angrily, “You really look older by 7.”
Old Man Han groaned, not understanding what he meant.
Han Yongfang stared at Old Man Han for a while and saw that he was already hunched over, paired with dimmed eyes and a nose full of mucus.
