Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 499

Eldest Aunt Han naturally understood what she meant and immediately lowered her face, “Third Brother, come here, I have something to say to you.”

She pulled Han Qingsong to go to the room to speak privately.

Han Qingsong didn’t intend to avoid Lin Lan and said directly, “Eldest Sister, if it’s about arranging you a job, that would be a no. And if you want to talk about Lin Lan, you can just say it here. But if there’s anything you want to say about the house, you can just talk to Lin Lan; I won’t interfere in any of her decisions.”

Lin Lan burst into a fit of laughter. She couldn’t believe that she thought Han Jinyu was selfish and unreasonably stupid when Eldest Aunt Han was actually no better. She had no status and everyone wasn’t taking her seriously, but here she was, insisting to put on her identity as a middleman.

Accusing her sister-in-law face-to-face was already considered rude and annoying, but now she wanted to instigate her younger brother to speak ill of his wife in front of her? Was she out of her mind?

“It’s rare for Eldest Sister to pay a visit back here, so you should hurry and visit the old lady. I won’t keep you here any longer,” Lin Lan issued the order to evict them again before ignoring the two entirely.

She brought out another bowl of glutinous rice and handed it to Han Qingsong, “By the way, take this to my Eldest Sister-in-law and let her make some porridge to drink.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Han always wanted to separate her family from the main house but she couldn’t, so she lived in extremely depressed conditions and was suffering all day long. Several times, Lin Lan saw her wiping her tears behind the haystack outside but upon asking, she would always insist that it was the tall grass annoying her eyes.

Lin Lan sympathised with her situation, but there was nothing she could do. After all, the separation of the family needed to be fought for by the parties themselves.

Plus, it required both husband and wife to work together.

Han Qingsong took the glutinous rice and nodded at Lin Lan before he told Eldest Aunt Han, “Eldest Sister, let’s go.”

Mangang sat there with his eyes fixed on the pork ribs in the basin. He didn’t even notice Han Qingsong in his line of sight throughout the entire time and didn’t bother to address him as a sign of respect.

Eldest Aunt Han didn’t remind her son to do so either.

Now that Han Qingsong said that he was going to leave, she hurriedly said, “Mangang, your Third Uncle is back, hurry and call him”

Mangang addressed Han Qingsong in a daze, sight still fixated on the ribs.

Eldest Aunt Han said with a smile, “Third Brother, you see, Mangang really likes you. He kept saying that he missed his Third Uncle and wanted to stay here for a couple of days in order to learn from you,” She looked at the east house again, “With such a large house, I think us mother and son can stay here.”

Han Qingsong, “You want to stay? There are no quilts at home.”

“No need, I brought Mangang’s over. I’ll come back after the New Year’s and let him stay here until then.”

Eldest Aunt Han blushed with excitement since her Third Brother didn’t outright refuse her request, which meant that there was a chance that it was possible. If she let Mangang stay for a few days to deepen their bond, arranging a job for her didn’t seem so out of reach by then. She didn’t expect for Han Qingsong to immediately agree and arrange her a job upon knocking on his door, so of course she understood that there had to be a bonding session in place.
