"What's the use of regretting now? You don't know what kind of personality our fourth son has. You just keep doing what you can. When the time comes, the relationship is gone and our son doesn't want to pay attention to you, then you will know you regret it." Old man Han said with some annoyance. After a while, seeing that Yang was becoming more and more regretful, he thought that it would be difficult to ignore the two girls. Everyone knew that they were the ones who brought the people into the city. If something happened to them, they would have to explain themselves.
"You are the one who caused the trouble. Since the fourth brother doesn't care and it's too late today, you should take out some food and ask the eldest brother to find an inn for them to stay in the city. Then we can hire a carriage to send them back tomorrow." Old Man Han said after taking a puff of his cigarette.
Money is worthless now, and everyone likes to trade with grain. This time when they came to the capital, they thought they must buy some things, so they prepared some grain. They didn't expect that they would have to use it on the first day. Old man Han couldn't tell whether he felt distressed or not, but he had to clean up the mess that the old woman had caused.
Old Man Han now understands more clearly that the fourth son loves and respects his wife, and the fourth son's wife is also a good person. Not to mention what the old woman did in the past, he must not let her be confused in the future, otherwise the affection will be worn away little by little, and their promising youngest son will be further and further away from her.
"We have to go to the carriage shop to hire a carriage, and that will cost a lot of food. Fourth son's family has a carriage, so we can just ask the servants to take us there." Yang's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She probably knew that this method was impossible. Fourth son hated the people in the Wang family because of what third son's wife had done, not to mention Jiang Chunlan who had done those things to fourth son's wife. Otherwise, she would not have been so disrespectful to her, their own mother, and stopped people outside the door in the middle of winter. Yang didn't even dare to mention this matter just now because she was afraid that her son would be angry.
"If you care about the food, then don't bring the person here. What's the point of saying all this now? Anyway, I've already given you the idea, you can decide for yourself!" Old man Han tapped his pipe twice and said, knowing that if he said it, the fourth brother would most likely give his biological father some face and send the person back. The reason he didn't mention this was also to teach this old woman, who was becoming more and more confused, a lesson. Only by remembering it after suffering a loss, would she not make the same mistake again in the future.
Seeing her old man like this, Yang knew there was no other way. It was so late and there was no point in delaying any longer. She hurried to the eldest son's place. Fortunately, they lived in the same courtyard, otherwise she would have been lost without someone to lead her. Originally, there were two maids serving here, but Yang didn't want them to be here and listen to their conversation. It would be uncomfortable for them to come again, so she asked them to go back first.
Han Hu is a kind-hearted man. Although he hates Jiang Chunlan and Wang Fangru, what his mother said is right. After all, they were the ones who brought the person here, and they can't just leave him outside the door and ignore him. Even if they are not allowed to live in, they should at least send him back.
Liu curled her lips as she listened to this. Don't think she didn't see what these shameless women were up to. It would be better if they just froze to death. However, Liu only thought so in her heart and didn't say it in front of her husband and mother-in-law. It was a rare opportunity for her to come to the city to celebrate the New Year and she didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
"Okay, mother, leave this matter to me. You go back and have a rest first." Han Hu asked Liu for food. Although it was inconvenient to carry a big bag of food, everyone recognized it now.
Han Hu was simply asked to run errands, so Liu only complained a few words in her heart. It was impossible to get food. Besides, don't think she didn't know that her parents-in-law also brought a lot of food. Food is not like silver, it can't be hidden at all.
"We didn't recruit these people, so why do you want our eldest house to provide food? In today's world, it's not easy to store some food. You think it was blown by the wind! You have to clean up your own mess. No one can take our food, or I will fight you to death!" Liu said in a sharp voice. The food in the eldest house was under her management. She had just asked the maid for the key and was in charge of it herself. No one could do it if she didn't want to!
Seeing Liu like this, Han Hu wanted to argue with her, but was stopped by Yang: "Boss, don't quarrel with your wife. It's New Year's Day. Mother has some food. Come with me to get it."
Yang knew very well that her eldest daughter-in-law was a stingy person. She was the one who was wrong in the first place because she was easily influenced. If she forced the eldest daughter-in-law to take food, she would have no peace this year. She would always be inferior to the eldest daughter-in-law in the future.
After hearing what Yang said, Liu stopped arguing. She didn't care when Han Hu glared at her because she thought she was right anyway.
Someone had already reported the movements on the Yang family's side to Han Yu, who secretly sent people to help Han Hu arrange everything. Han Yu just did the things on the surface, his original intention was just to let his mother remember this lesson, not to make things difficult for his elder brother. It was winter now, not to mention it was cold outside. Han Hu had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place. If no one led him to arrange things in advance, it would take a lot of effort.
Yang kept waiting, and she felt uneasy until things were done. When she saw that her son had not come back so late, she regretted it more and more. She insisted on waiting for Han Yu to come back in the main house, even though her eldest daughter-in-law was not in a good mood.
"Oh, your father is so pitiful. It's so cold, and everyone should be resting at home so late. But your father is still running around outside. He is already tired after a whole day." Liu said this to her two daughters, but everyone could tell that it was said to Yang. Yang was upset and regretful at this time, and she sat there with her lips pursed and didn't say anything.
It was too dark outside to see clearly, and Han Hu had not returned yet. Yang could no longer sit still. She was afraid that something might have happened to Han Hu, so she went to find Han Yu. Even though her younger son was angry and said a few words to her, she accepted it because it was not as important as her eldest son's safety. Even old man Han became a little anxious and followed Yang to find Han Yu.
When Su Wenyue heard that her father-in-law and mother-in-law came together so late, she looked at Xiang Hanyu with some surprise. What was going on?
When Su Wenyue knew the purpose of her father-in-law and mother-in-law's visit, she understood it in her mind. She entertained them warmly on the surface, but she already understood Han Yu's purpose in her heart. She didn't believe that Han Yu didn't send someone to follow him. Han Hu hadn't returned yet, so she was afraid that it was Han Yu's arrangement.
"Mother, the waters in the city are very deep, unlike in our village. Besides, I've been promoted so quickly, there will always be people who are jealous of me. There are many people who are secretly watching me, and they might do something. This is the first time my eldest brother comes to the city, and he is unfamiliar with the place. It's so late, and you still let him go out to do things. For the sake of two shameless women, have you even ignored the safety of your own son?" Han Yu's words were a bit heavy.
