Han Yongfang couldn’t say the harsh words that rested on his lips. After all, Old Man Han was several years younger than him, so why did he look older than him?
Han Yongfang sighed heavily. Every family had its own scriptures that were difficult to recite. They were just living in a muddle of chaos.
“You should have had a good life, so why did you end up ? Smoke less, and listen more to what your Old Three says,” Han Yongfang patted Old Man Han on the shoulder, shook his head and left.
Just like that, the old lady was completely embarrassed. She was so angry that she claimed that she was sick and couldn’t afford to go anywhere but lie on the kang, wanting her daughters-in-law to serve her.
Eldest Sister-in-law, turning against her, was out of the question. Lin Lan had long left and Han Qingsong was backing her up, so no one dared to ask her to return for something . Second Sister-in-law knew that the old lady was faking her sickness, so she rebutted, “If your biological daughter doesn’t take care of you at this point, who else is going to do it?”
One could only imagine how angry the old lady was.
The next morning, when Han Qingsong came over, she hadn’t gotten up yet. She kept humming and looked at Han Qingsong and muttered, “Why don’t your wife bring her children to pay me the New Year’s greetings?”
Han Qingsong, “They’re waiting for mother to get up.”
Old Man Han got up and sat down, smoking a cigarette in the main room. He was becoming more
silent now, but his cigarette-smoking behaviour was becoming a lot more frequent. Wherever he was, the smoke in the room was capable of choking.
Soon, Eldest Brother Han and his Second Brother also got up one after another. They didn’t have the energy to pay New Year’s greetings and just hummed a few words casually. The two brothers flanked the sides at the door, looking like the two Gods who guarded the gates of the afterlife with the same sad faces.
Han Qingsong was not a very emotional sensitive person and could not say anything comforting, so he can only wish his New Year’s greetings as appropriate.
Hearing Han Qingsong coming, Eldest Sister-in-law Han and her children came out of the house to pay their New Year greetings and say a few words.
They didn’t say much because the old lady was moaning and cursing in the room.
Eldest Sister-in-law Han took some dry food and the two children to clean up the two rooms, thinking that she would stay there that night and not come back to suffer.
Eldest Brother Han stood up, wanting to follow and help.
Old Lady Han started coughing in the room, “Eldest Brother, give me some water to drink, I’m dying of thirst.”
Therefore, the Eldest Brother had to go and get her some water.
Han Qingsong was choking while sitting in the main room, so he also sat in the yard. No one came to pay any New Year’s greetings for a long time.
There was a shameless commotion at home last night. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, some adults and children originally came over to pay New Year greetings. But then, they saw that something was not right and passed the news one by one, keeping the children away. Naturally, they wouldn’t come over to embarrass themselves this morning.
Anyway, as the Third Family had already paid his respects, Han Qingsong could be regarded as the representative.
Second Brother Han looked at his Eldest Sister-in-law and her family who were going out, “Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law doesn’t want to cook.”
