Chapter 288: What a blessing



Little did they know that both of them guessed wrong. It turned out that Old Man Han and Yang spread the news of Han Yu's return. The village chief thought that Han Yu was the most promising young man in their Xinhe Village, and now he was a captain of the sixth rank, an official higher than the county magistrate. Naturally, he had to line the streets to welcome him. So he led the villagers to do this, standing at the entrance of the village beating gongs and drums to welcome Han Yu and his group back.

Han Yu and Su Wenyue also arrived at the village entrance. They saw Old Man Han and Madam Yang standing among the villagers who were beating drums and gongs with smiles on their faces. Then they began to understand what was going on and found it a little funny. Seeing the proud looks of Old Man Han and Madam Yang, one can imagine how prosperous the Han family has been in the village during this period.

"Dad, Mom." Han Yu and Su Wenyue got off the carriage. The three children were held in the carriage by the nanny. It was so cold, and even though they were wrapped in quilts, they were still afraid that the children would catch a cold.

"Well, fourth son and fourth son's wife, we've finally got you back. The villagers have been waiting for you here. Go home quickly. It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold. Are the children in the carriage?" Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang couldn't help asking as soon as they saw their son and daughter-in-law. They had long wanted to see their three grandchildren. These were three blessed little ones. It was the first time for them to see triplets of a boy and a girl in their old age. The fourth son's wife was pregnant and gave birth to two big grandsons to the Han family. They looked eagerly into the carriage.

"Yes, we let the wet nurse hold the baby in the carriage. It's too cold outside and the children are still young. We're afraid they can't stand it." Su Wenyue said with a smile. It's normal for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to be anxious to see the child as they are eager to have a grandson.

"That's right. The child is still young, so we should be more careful with him. It's so cold outside, I don't want my grandson to get frozen. We'd better wait until we get home." Yang said this, but her eyes were reluctant to leave the carriage. But old man Han, knowing that his grandson was back, did not hesitate for a moment and greeted everyone in the village.

"Everyone, listen to me. My fourth son is back today. Thank you all for your respect and warm welcome. My family has prepared food. If you don't mind, come to my house for lunch. First, I want to thank you for your hospitality. Second, I want to celebrate my fourth son's promotion in the military camp. He will be going to the capital. Let's have fun together."

In such a year, it was not easy for everyone to have enough to eat. Because of Su Wenyue, the Han family did not sell the grain at home. In addition, Su Wenyue sent rice, flour, grain and money to Old Man Han and Yang every month, so they were relatively well-off. This time, when they encountered such a big happy event, Old Man Han, Yang and the eldest couple discussed and prepared several tables of banquets to invite everyone in the village to have a meal. This was also because the fourth couple was not in the village. Normally, the two eldest grandsons would have a full moon banquet. This time, the fourth was promoted again, so it was time to treat everyone to a meal.

The Han family's old house was just as lively and busy. Liu really invested a lot of money this time and slaughtered the family's New Year pig in advance without any reluctance. Even Han Hu was surprised that his wife, who had always been a fussy person, was so generous. Liu's sister-in-law also came to help early in the morning.

"Sister, I tell you not to be so honest. It will cost so much to slaughter the New Year pig and set up a wedding banquet. Life is getting harder and harder nowadays. You can't just get carried away and spend all the family savings." Liu's sister-in-law said to Liu when she saw that there was no one around. Because Liu still cared about her natal family and was quite generous to them, Liu's sister-in-law didn't think that her sister-in-law was stingy. She really was thinking about her sister-in-law when she said this.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have a plan in mind and will not suffer any loss. I know the fourth brother and his wife. They are not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others. If you are generous to them, they can only be more generous to you. Just look at what they have done these days. Although I am a selfish person, it is not that I don't know the good. If it weren't for the fourth brother's wife, we would not have the comfortable life we ​​have now if we had sold our grain. Besides, since the separation of the family, the fourth brother and his wife have also subsidized our first wife a lot. Although most of it is because of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, our first wife has benefited after all."

"Since you understand clearly, I won't say much. After all, I am thinking about you."

"I know you mean well, sister-in-law. By the way, we are slaughtering a pig today, and I have asked someone to leave two pieces of the best fat meat in the cupboard. Please remember to take them with you when you go back. I'm afraid you'll be too busy to remember them." Liu was very kind to her own family.

"No need. It's not easy for anyone to raise a pig. Besides, a lot of it will be used today, and we have to keep some for the New Year. If you are really willing to give it, just leave me two big bones. I will take them back to make soup for your nephew." Liu Jin was not a greedy person. She was thinking about her sister-in-law's kindness and didn't want to take more things to make things difficult for her. If people saw it, they would say that her sister-in-law was using her husband's family's things to subsidize her own family. Even if her brother-in-law was generous, her sister-in-law still had her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"If you want bones, I'll get you a few. Take the meat, too. Don't worry. My father-in-law and mother-in-law know about it. They said you should take it. If you don't kill a pig at home, you can't send a few pounds of meat to your mother's house. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not so stingy. What's more, there are the fourth brother and his wife who are better than this. My father-in-law and mother-in-law won't say anything."

"Is that true?" Liu Jin was still a little worried, but also somewhat moved. After all, given the situation at home, they hadn't had any meat for more than a month. It didn't matter to her, but she felt sorry for her husband and children.

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I'm not lying to you. I'm the head of the family now. My mother-in-law only has the things she has. She doesn't need to take care of me. They will have to rely on me as their daughter-in-law for their retirement. The old lady is not stupid. There's no need to offend me because of this, not to mention how well I behaved today."

"That's good. Now that you have an official in the family, your life will be better now. You are blessed, my sister." Liu Jin was happy for Liu. The better her sister-in-law's life was, the better it would be for them.

"Speaking of which, the fourth daughter-in-law is really blessed. She was born in a wealthy family, and when she married into her husband's family, she brought wealth to her husband's family. She is also very fertile. She looked so weak, but she gave birth to three children in one pregnancy, two of whom are sons. Her position in the Han family is stable. My mother-in-law now treats the fourth daughter-in-law as a lucky star. She used to have some opinions about her, but now she doesn't care so much. She wants to treat her like a treasure. She also told me to get closer to the fourth daughter-in-law to get some blessings and give our Han family another grandson, so that the family line will not be cut off." When Liu talked about Su Wenyue, there was only envy in her eyes. Thinking of the fact that she had only given birth to two daughters so far, her face was filled with sorrow.
