At this time, the eldest brother Han was still a little dazed. Before that, he and his second brother stood outside the wooden fence gate of the courtyard, listening to the laughter coming from the house, and they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Thinking about how they used to fight and fight every day and were unhappy all day, he felt happy and cheerful with laughter after the separation, which always made him feel heartened.

But the third family is really different.

In the past, he would always have a sullen face and say sad words or curse people. He never smiled.

Not only did he speak kindly this time, he also brought the children to make the house full of joy, as if he had become a different person.

This is also a good thing.

It seems that couples really can't be separated for too long. I used to think that it was good for the third child to be a soldier, as he could supplement the family and was the family's honor. Now that the third child is back, although he can't be an officer, the whole family is happy, which is better than anything else.

Thinking this way, he felt that it was a good thing for his third brother to change his career, and he supported it!

Lin Lan hurriedly followed Han Qingsong to greet them. She saw that Brother Han was holding a small basket with a few two-grain flour cakes in it. She couldn't help but wonder, this was not the old lady's style.

But seeing the sour look on Han's face, she became alert again.

Han Erge felt so sour in his heart, he was just jealous.

In the past, he didn't want to split up because of the allowance from the third brother. Now that the third brother has retired and has no money, he is the first one who wants to split up.

Unfortunately, before, he and his wife pretended to be good people and tried to please the old lady. Now talking about dividing the family property is like slapping themselves in the face.

The old lady was not as nice to him as Xiao Si was to him. She would point at his nose and scold him to death.

So the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.

I had wanted to come to the third brother’s house to see if the seven people who had just separated had anything to eat or drink, and I wondered how miserable they must be.

As a result, even though he could hear people laughing so happily from a distance, he felt unhappy.

Now, seeing them eating with such delight, he became even angrier.

Isn't it just a bunch of sour words?

"Third brother, even if your brother has never been to the army, you know that filial piety is the most important virtue. You..."

Lin Lan was not as polite to him as she was to her elder brother. She grabbed the half-bald broom leaning against the wall and said coldly, "If you don't want to speak human language, then don't say a word. You came in from here, get out from here, don't wait for me, the big broom, to greet you."

"Third brother, how can you talk like that?" Second brother Han subconsciously took a step back, fearing that Lin Lan would really hit her.

Even though this woman pretends to be a decent person, she is definitely still a fierce person at heart.

The eldest brother Han said to the second brother: "You go back first, I will talk to the third brother."

Han Erge was still not happy, "Brother, I also have something to tell my third brother."

He turned to look at Han Qingsong, "Third brother, you don't welcome the second brother?"

Han Qingsong: "Second brother, you are too worried."

Han Erge wanted to go inside to see what they were eating, but Erwang had already brought two wooden stools to the door and said, "Master, please sit down."

Brother Han quickly said, "Mom was worried that you guys weren't cooking well, so she asked me to bring some cakes over."

Lin Lan didn't believe that the old lady would be willing to bring a few cakes over. If they didn't have a bigger appetite, then it was just the eldest brother and sister-in-law who made the decision on their own.

Han Qingsong invited them to have dinner together.

Han stood at the door and looked inside. There was only one eight-person table in the main room. It was discarded at some point and used for his third brother's wedding. Now one of its legs was broken and it was supported by adobe. There were two stools with wobbly legs next to it. The children didn't like to sit on them. They each took their cakes and sat on the wooden stools and adobes they had picked up to eat.

There is no place to sit.

It's too hard.

Han couldn't help but feel sad, "Third brother, go back and get two boards and ask the carpenter to nail a few small stools together."

He sat down on the wooden block at the door and called to the children, "Have some cakes. Grandma asked me to bring them."

Lin Lan asked the children to bring the scrambled eggs and eat with their uncles.

Although he was extremely reluctant, Mai Sui still took the clay basin out and did not put it down.

Emerald green leeks, yellow eggs, and golden oil. I have never seen fried leeks and eggs look so good.

Han's second brother's eyes sparkled with greed, and he subconsciously wanted to take it, but found that he didn't have chopsticks. He secretly cursed the little girl for being so secretive. How could he let people eat without giving them chopsticks?

Then he discovered something amazing. Although there were fewer eggs and more leeks, it was still full of oil!

How much oil is used in these scrambled eggs?

Brother Han felt distressed. Oh my god, we just divided up the family and they have already used up half a year’s worth of oil. What are we going to do in the future?

The third brother's family really has a hard time making a living.

The second son was extremely jealous. Damn it, it’s good to be separated. I can eat scrambled eggs right after the separation. At home, I can’t eat it for ten days or half a month. And this is for men, not to mention women and children, who can’t eat it once a month.

He could see it but couldn't eat it, and Han's second brother was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

However, Brother Han spoke to Han Qingsong with a heavy heart, telling him that life was not easy and he had to be frugal. Only when you are the head of the household do you know how expensive food and daily necessities are.

Lin Lan responded amiably and thanked him, looking willing to learn.

Big Brother Han was very satisfied, and talked about the second meal, saying that his father had already said that this would not be allowed in the family anymore, and that the family was still a family, so Han Qingsong and Lin Lan should not be angry, and the family should be harmonious and not alienated.

Han Qingsong glanced at Lin Lan and said, "Brother, don't take it to heart. The mother and I really have no grudges. It's just that we have so many children after the separation, and we have to feed them all."

Han knew that he was not lying, so he said a few more words to bring them closer to the past, "Third brother, let's go home tonight to discuss the division of the family property. Do you think it's okay?"

Han Qingsong nodded, "Yes."

"Third brother, don't forget to take care of your parents just because the family is divided. Work points, food, and money cannot be reduced." Second brother Han calculated that after the third brother changed his job, he would still have money.

Lin Lan was afraid that Han Qingsong would agree right away, so she said immediately, "We will definitely take care of you in your old age, but now your parents are still able to work, and they haven't divided up the family property yet. We have five children waiting to be fed, and we don't have the spare money to take work points and food to go there for the time being."

If you want to take care of yourself in your old age, wait until everyone has divided the family property and the old one lives on his own. You can't afford to exploit everyone and support the fourth child at that time.

Han Qingsong glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, big brother and second brother, I will definitely follow the brothers in raising my younger brother."

Eldest brother Han felt that Lin Lan's words were a bit harsh, but he didn't say anything. He also felt that his third brother was different. In the past, his third brother would definitely say, "Don't worry, eldest brother, you will definitely take the top priority in raising me", but now he knows to take care of his own family first.

But the second brother Han refused to listen: "What are you talking about? We are not dividing the family now, isn't it just to support the old? Our work points and money are all in the public, why can't yours be too?"

"Then maybe you can get some benefits from the public? The elder brother and his wife work harder and earn more from work shares, so it will be easier for you if you don't split up the family." Lin Lan sneered. She wanted to squeeze her, but no way!

If it weren't for Han Qingsong's subsidy, would you have been able to have it so easy?

Now that we have no cash after the separation, do you still feel so comfortable?

Han Erge was choked up and couldn't help but quote a line from a play he had heard: "It is true that only villains and women are difficult to raise!"

Lin Lan responded sharply, "It's true that I'm a woman, but then you're a villain?"

Han Erge was so angry that he jumped up and said, "How can you talk like that?"

Han Qingsong clapped his hands and said, "Second brother, don't get excited."

After he slapped him like that, Second Brother Han was like being caught by a huge iron clamp and couldn't move at all. He was so angry that his face turned pale.

"Okay, I also know that you guys won't care about your brothers anymore after you split up, so I'm leaving." He left angrily without listening to Brother Han's attempts to persuade him to stay.

Han smiled awkwardly and said, "Third brother, even though we have separated, we should not be alienated from each other."

Han Qingsong: "Don't worry, brother, it won't happen."

Hearing that Lin Lan's words were unpleasant, the third brother did not criticize but instead protected his wife. The eldest brother Han felt more and more that the third brother's wife had the third brother under her control.

It seems that there will be more noise at home in the future.

Brother Han nodded and said, "Third brother, your words make me and father feel relieved. Alas, mother is worried sick, and I am afraid that you will bear a grudge and never come home again."

"How could that be? Don't worry, brother. I really don't take it to heart. It's just that something happened."

Han Qingsong was actually not angry at first. He was only angry because he did not do a good job and did not take good care of the family. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that it would be like this.

After all, he still felt a little disappointed after hearing what the old lady said.

Having been taught the theory that "there are no bad parents in the world" since childhood, he does not resent his parents, but he feels that he is wrong.

It is natural for a man to be filial to his parents, and it is also his responsibility to protect his wife and children. She was wronged, and it was always his fault, so he could only try to be nicer to her.

At the moment, he has to first solve the problems of his wife and children's food, drink, defecation and urination, and never let his wife and children suffer such injustice again.

But he is not a good talker. He does more than he talks. Otherwise, with his achievements, he would not be just a company commander with no real power. After all, he is a farm boy with limited knowledge and education. It is remarkable that he can get to this point.

Brother Han also said that if his parents asked him to go home for dinner, Han Qingsong did not agree himself, but looked at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan said, "Brother, you have to cook for yourself after the family is divided. You can't bother your sister-in-law with your whole family. She has been cooking for so many years, and only those who are tired know how tired she is. If she doesn't have to cook for seven people in our family, it will be much easier for your sister-in-law."

Brother Han had nothing to say and had to go home.

He told his parents about the matter, and Old Han sighed, "It's okay as long as the third brother doesn't have any grudges. We are all family members, so don't be estranged. Brothers should support each other."

Brother Han said yes repeatedly.

Old Mrs. Han is feeling aggrieved and angry right now.

She complained to the old man that the third daughter-in-law scolded him, but the old man didn't believe it at all.

He said, "If you say she threatened to kill herself to force you, I would believe you, but if you say she scolded you? If she could scold you, why would she have hanged herself or jumped into the river before?" Not only did he not believe it, even Han's second brother did not believe it.

Although Han's second sister-in-law testified, the eldest sister-in-law remained silent, so naturally no one believed her.

The more Mrs. Han thought about it, the sadder she felt. When she thought about how her third son actually questioned her and no longer trusted and respected her as before, she felt uneasy and uncomfortable. She always felt like she was going to lose something, and the more she felt like this, the more she wanted to hold on to it.

So when Old Han asked his eldest son to chat with the third child and give him some advice, she agreed.

Originally, I was sure that the third brother would come back with the eldest brother to make amends and apologize to me. Then I would force him to teach that woman a lesson, otherwise he would not be allowed to call her mother!

But he didn't come! The old lady became more and more upset and angry, waiting for Han Qingsong to come and give him a lesson.

The old lady had just finished dinner and lay on the kang, not afraid of the heat, feeling so anxious that she was about to explode.

Just at this moment, she heard the children outside calling "San Dada" and she immediately sat up as if she had been injected with chicken blood, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and thinking about how to teach the third child a lesson!

She was convinced that her son would be humble and try to please her, and he had been like this since he was young. Every time he was scolded, he would feel wronged but would just hide away and sulk for a while, and then come back to try to please her again.

Rushing to work, rushing to make delicious food for oneself.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt relieved and proud, thinking that her son was still her son and he should listen to her.

So, she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks. After all, the old man's bad habits were accumulated over a lifetime and he would never change them until he died.

"I say, Third Brother, you still remember to come back and see your parents. I thought that after the division of the family property, you only had your wife in your heart and forgot your mother. That bitch scolded your mother a while ago, why didn't you ask her to kowtow and apologize?"

Han Qingsong frowned slightly, "Mom, Lin Lan is not that kind of person. She always tortures herself, how dare she scold me."

"Bullshit, I'm not deaf, how can I not hear her scolding me?" The old lady was so angry that she walked all over the kang looking for a broom, wanting to beat the third child a couple of times to vent her anger. However, when she hit Han Qingsong with the broom, Han Qingsong broke the broom without any damage.

When Mrs. Han saw this, she threw the broom away in anger, "You even bully me with a broken broom!!"

The old Korean said, "Stop making a fool of yourself. Aren't you afraid of losing face? Your child is already over 30 years old, why are you still beating him like this?"

Brother Han also encouraged.

Han Qingsong, however, was calm and said, "It's okay. I'll just hit you a few times to vent my anger. Even if I hit you, you won't feel anything. Don't tire your hands."

The old lady heard her son's tone and thought he was trying to please her. She immediately gained confidence and couldn't help but be arrogant. "I say, third son, don't learn such bad habits! It's the parents' order, and of course it's up to them to divide the family property."

She glanced at Han Qingsong with a look of sternness and continued, "I think you should live separately, and your household registration will not be separated. When the time comes, your work points will be counted together. And give me all the money you earn from the tickets, and I will distribute it to the three of you. Don't worry, your parents know how hard you've worked, and they will take better care of you when the time comes."

"As for food distribution, we can divide it among the whole family and divide it among ourselves. No one will be short of a pound of food. Even you know that your younger brother and sister are still in school. Two pounds of fine grains per person is not enough for them to chew on cereals. We can't let them chew on sweet potatoes every day. We have to bring enough fine grains. I thought, we can eat anything at home, and coarse grains are good enough. We can pool all the fine grains of the whole family to support them so that they don't look bad and embarrassed in school."

She felt comfortable talking about it, and thought that the matter was settled. "Old Third, do you have any objections?"

Han Qingsong nodded, "Mom, I have no objection."

The old lady snorted and was immediately very proud. She wished that Lin Lan would spit at her in front of her so that she would know whether the son was hers or whether she should put her younger brothers and sisters first.

Who would have thought that the next moment, Han Qingsong said: "At noon, the old branch secretary had already registered the household registration, and the household registration booklet and the grain and oil booklet were all distributed. The branch secretary said that he would come to preside over the division of the property after work tomorrow night... Hey, mother, don't be angry..."
