Chapter 692
Han Jinyu, “!!! Third Brother, why won’t you coax me?”
Han Qingsong, “I never lie,” The little patience he possessed that was meant to coax others was spent thinking about how to coax his wife, so he couldn’t care less about anyone else.
Han Jinyu was so angry that she couldn’t say anything else, so she sat down on the stool in front of the square table.
Old Lady Han was still mumbling, “Why do you have such a lazy wife? She is so lazy,” The most irritating son of hers was not listening to her at all and insisted on spoiling this lazy woman, who was nothing but a shrew!
Lin Lan, who was in the room, waved her fists, huh, you said I’m lazy and greedy, but am I as bad as your daughter? Your own life is a mess and you’re coming to tell me off? What galls you have! If it weren’t for your son’s sake, I would kick you to Nanniwan(1)!
(T/N: Though it’s the title of a revolutionary song for the Chinese Communist Party back in the mid 20th century, it is also a gorge in the Shaanxi province that played an important role in the war back then)
Han Qingsong asked the old lady to sit down again and poured her some water.
Old Lady Han sat and began to wipe her tears as she and her daughter had been suffering recently. After the family was divided, Eldest Sister-in-law Han took Gumi and left while Second Sister-in-law Han took Gaoliang and the others, busying themselves with only their family affairs. As a result, no one in her family could take on the remaining responsibilities besides the two of them. She didn’t want to let her daughter suffer, so she had to do it by herself. After so many months of continued labour, she was so tired that her back and legs ache every day.
Han Qingsong could see it all but chose not to comment, so he said, “Mother, sit down while I prepare a meal.”
