"Shut up!" Lin Lan picked up a cabbage and meat dumpling and stuffed it into Sanwang's mouth.

In order to take care of Dawang and Sanwang, they also cooked a pot of cabbage and pork dumplings.

The dumplings are placed on a tray spiked with sorghum stalks so they cool quickly, preventing the children from burning their mouths in a hurry.

When Lin Lan was about to bring it up, Han Qingsong took it.

Lin Lan asked the children to get on the kang, "There is no money in the meat dumplings. There is money in the blessing dumplings. Whoever eats it gets it."

There is a one-cent piece of money, red dates and brown sugar in the tofu dumpling. If you eat the money, it means prosperity in the new year; if you eat the dates, it means a happy new year; if you eat the sugar, it means a strong bride; and if you eat the tofu, it means blessings.

Anyway, it has good meaning.

Lin Lan has boiled and sterilized the coins, so they are very clean.

Sanwang got on the kang as soon as he heard it, picked up a lucky dumpling and ate it, "Wow, it's quite delicious. Big brother, try it quickly, it smells delicious."

The fillings inside are fried with lard, and the moisture is locked in the tofu and vermicelli. There is not much excess moisture when eaten, but the fillings are full and juicy, and the taste is excellent.

Sanwang's eyes lit up as he ate.

Da Wang took a taste and his eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious.

The children ate the food with great praise and praised Lin Lan for her delicious cooking.

Seeing that they all loved eating, Lin Lan smiled. For workers, the happiest thing is to have others appreciate the fruits of their labor.

"This is also thanks to my second brother. He spends a lot of time and effort every day to prepare delicious meals for us."

The children were all grateful to Erwang and praised him for his delicious cooking.

Erwang was also very happy. He felt his body was full of strength and all the previous hard work was worth it.

In order to make money, Sanwang, who doesn't eat meat, just eats vegetarian dumplings with his hands full.

Sometimes I could eat a date, sometimes I could eat a candy, but I couldn't eat any money.

He was anxious, "Mom, how much money did you give me?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "There are nine of each, nine nine long sources."

Han Qingsong picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, and bit out a coin.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Director Han is so lucky! He made money with his first bite. He is so lucky."

She stretched out her hand, and Han Qingsong put the coin in her hand.

After a while, Da Wang also took out a coin from his mouth with a crunching sound, and everyone congratulated him immediately.

Erwang took a look and picked one up from the serving tray with chopsticks, "Haha, this one has money too."

He bit it and found it was, as expected, a hard one-cent coin.

Mai Sui also learned his trick and immediately looked for those ugly dumplings that looked like they had money.

Sanwang also tried to learn it, but after looking for some red dates and brown sugar, he didn't find any money, which made him very anxious.

My stomach is so full!

Xiaowang was learning how to use chopsticks. He was afraid of dropping the dumpling, so he held it carefully. He accidentally broke the dumpling, revealing a white coin.

"Wow, Xiaowang is rich!" Mai Sui saw it and quickly reminded him.

Xiaowang happily took out the coin and gave it to Sanwang: "Here you go."

Sanwang: “…”

"You all have eaten, but I haven't." He was a little frustrated, but his stomach couldn't hold any more!!!

Lin Lan provoked him: "Little Third Brother, I didn't get to eat it either."

Sanwang glanced at her and said, "But your husband, your son, and your daughters all ate it. Isn't it because you have money that they got rich?"

Everyone laughed.

Mai Sui said, "Don't worry, if I have money, then you have money. If I make money, I will give you pocket money."

Sanwang immediately reached out and pulled the hook: "Don't lie to children. If you lie to children, they will become uglier as they grow older."

Mai Sui: "..." I just coaxed you, and you caught me. She stretched out her hand to pull the hook with him, "I won't lie to you."

Sanwang immediately became excited and used chopsticks to put the dumplings into the wheat bowl: "Sister, this must be rich."

Mai Sui touched his stomach and said, "Why don't you eat it yourself?"

"I can't hold on any longer. I eat more than you do." He unbuckled his belt, revealing his bulging belly.

Lin Lan flicked it at him, and it went bang, "Done!"

Han Qingsong picked one up and put it in Sanwang's bowl.

Sanwang's eyes lit up: "Dad, really?"

Han Qingsong: “Try it.”

Sanwang really believed in his father, so he picked it up and started eating. "Crunch!" He laughed happily, "Sure enough, there is money. Brother Sanwang is getting rich. Wangwangwang!"

Everyone started laughing, and Lin Lan was busy reminding them not to chew and to swallow before talking.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "May we have a prosperous New Year, good luck."

The Wangwang below started to bark in response.

Da Wang rewarded it with a lucky dumpling, and Wang Wang licked Da Wang's feet immediately after eating it.

The children ate so much that their bellies were full. They lay on the kang with their hands on their stomachs, listening to the New Year celebrations coming from the radio. They all felt that they had a really happy year.

Han Qingsong started eating only after he saw that the children were full and had stopped eating.

Seeing him picking up the dumpling skins to eat, Lin Lan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Eat these whole ones first, and save the ones with cracked skins for frying."

During the Chinese New Year, people say auspicious words. If a dumpling is broken, they don’t say “broken” but “shot”. When serving the dumplings, people will ask, “Did the dumpling hit the target?” The person who takes the dumpling will shout, “Shot!” It’s also very interesting.

Han Qingsong suddenly looked at her and picked up the bottle of wine. "Have a drink?"

Lin Lan: "...You drink it, I don't drink, I don't like it."

Han Qingsong leaned closer to her, "...I can't drink very well."

Lin Lan quickly lowered her head and pretended to drink the dumpling soup.

Han Qingsong whispered in his ear: "Not bad, not like a drunken boy."

Lin Lan cleared her throat and pretended not to know, "What are you talking about? I don't know."

Han Qingsong saw that her ears and half of her neck were red, so he stopped talking.

Lin Lan quickly picked up a bowl of cabbage and pork stuffing and gave it to him, intending to stuff his mouth with the dumplings.

Han Qingsong was a military man. He exercises a lot and has a fast metabolism, so he eats a lot.

Normally he would only eat until he was 70% full. After all, there were many children in the family and a good meal was not enough.

But the New Year's Eve meal must be eaten to the full, which indicates a good harvest in the coming year and every meal can be eaten to the full. Moreover, Lin Lan made a lot of dumplings, more than enough for him to eat, so he ate as much as he could.

He ate not slowly but not roughly, and there was a certain standard beauty in the way his chopsticks rose and fell.

She laughed and said, "Aren't you all fighting for food in the army?" He could actually maintain this posture.

Han Qingsong paused for a moment and said, "In the first two years, I snatched them with my hands."

The chopsticks can't keep up.

"Later, no one could rob me." There was a smile in his eyes.

Lin Lan smiled at him and served him another bowl. "Don't be impatient. Chew it up a bit so it's easier to digest."

She spoke to him as if she was coaxing a child, and her eyes were so gentle that they could drown a person.

Han Qingsong put down his chopsticks. He felt hot all over and a little overwhelmed. He wanted to kiss her.

But she was obviously embarrassed, avoiding his gaze and glancing at him furtively.

Han Qingsong looked at her deeply, then suddenly put down the bowl, grabbed her hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it.

If there hadn't been a child around, he would have kissed her directly on the lips, kissing her so hard that she wouldn't dare to peek at him like that again.

Lin Lan exclaimed.

"Oh my!" Sanwang immediately let out an exaggerated cry of surprise: "Dad is eating Mom's hand! Hahaha!" He grabbed Dawang's hand and took a bite.

Although he was listening to the radio, his eyes were monitoring from time to time, and he was caught.

Da Wang pushed him away in pain and wanted to hit him out of disgust.

He immediately dragged Xiao Wang over to him. Xiao Wang raised his little tender paws and said, "Big brother, let me give you some of mine."

Mai Sui grabbed Xiao Wang's hand and kissed it, "It smells so good!"

Xiaowang took it seriously and let everyone eat his hand one by one. He also gave it to his second brother, and Erwang ate it very enthusiastically.

Sanwang also rushed over to gnaw on it, but he was not gentle enough. Xiaowang still remembered that his shoulder was hurt by his nibbling, so he immediately stretched out his toes and said, "I'll let you eat my toes!"

"Ah - help, I stink -" Sanwang pretended to fall to the ground and was about to say "I stink to death" but then he remembered that Lin Lan forbade him to say "die" during the New Year, so he just kept saying nonsense.

"Hahahaha..." The children were laughing so hard on the kang.

Lin Lan's face was originally blushing, but now she was smiling. She went over to tickle Sanwang, and Xiaowang let Lin Lan bite his little face.

Lin Lan was making a mess with a few children.

Sanwang was full of melancholy, pinching his throat, "Mom, do you love me or not?"

林岚：“……愛，我可愛……揍你啦！”

三旺看她要追打自己，立刻往窗臺躲，“你揍人家，不值得人家愛。”

Lin Lan finally held San Wang down and laughed, "You only care about eating and not fighting, right? I'll help you!"

She pulled off Sanwang's socks and tickled his soles.

This is the ultimate killer.

Sanwang immediately begged for mercy, "I won't dare to do it again, never again!"

Seeing Lin Lan playing with them like a child, Han Qingsong smiled unconsciously, his eyes showing a tenderness that he himself was not aware of.

Soon Lin Lan and the children couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep while playing, not even caring to take off their clothes.

Sanwang was resting his head on Dawang's legs with his feet on Erwang's chest, while Xiaowang was sleeping soundly with his butt sticking up on Lin Lan's chest.

Mai Sui moved to the north kang, crawled into his own quilt, wrapped himself tightly, and slept soundly.

Han Qingsong first took Xiaowang back and settled him down, then straightened out the other children and covered them directly with a big quilt.

Finally, he carried Lin Lan back to the kang in the west room, helped her take off her cotton coat and covered her with a quilt.

Han Qingsong lay on his side next to Lin Lan, supporting his head with his hand, watching her sleeping soundly.

There was a lantern hanging on the door frame, which illuminated her eyes and eyebrows, making them bright and charming, and he thought she was more beautiful than before.

He suddenly remembered that she was drunk before.

After he dealt with the conflict with his eldest brother, he wanted to go home to see his wife and children before looking for Han Yongfang.

The children were playing in the yard at the time. He entered the house and found her lying on the ground next to Xiaowang's head, holding a tea bowl in one hand, looking like she would slide to the ground at any moment.

He quickly went forward and picked her up, but she wanted to drink with him.

When a person gets drunk, it is usually to drown his sorrows. It seems that she has been wronged and is unhappy, so she comes back to drink to drown her sorrows.

He suddenly felt very upset.

He put the tea bowl away and tried to pick her up, but she stretched out her arms and hooked them around his neck.

She drank some wine, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were tearful, her gaze was soft and charming as it seduced him.

He lowered his head to kiss her, but she dodged slightly, "Han Qingsong... I want... to have a boyfriend."

Han Qingsong: “…”

He carried her to the kang and wanted to cover her with a quilt, but she grabbed his neck and refused to let go.

"Be good." He held her hand and tried to pull it down.

"No." She pouted her red lips and looked at him, "Han Qingsong."

Han Qingsong looked at her: "It's me."

"Do you... know what love is?" She blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.

He wanted to kiss her, but she leaned back, "...Are you worthy of my love?"

It was as if something had struck his heart, and an inexplicable strange feeling spread throughout his body.

He gently rubbed her cheek with the tip of his nose and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "What do you think?"

She said nothing, but leaned softly in his arms, rubbing against him like a little cat, mumbling, "...Han Qingsong, do you love me..."

He kissed her on the lips, and this time she did not shy away and fell asleep.

He just held her like that, looking at her deeply, lost in thought.

He couldn't explain why, but her words caused a great shock in his heart, as if an area that had never been explored by anyone before had suddenly been touched upon.

Maybe he thought of Lin Lan from his sister-in-law, or maybe he was shocked by her sudden tenderness and sadness when she was drunk.

Lin Lan, who is usually calm, optimistic, full of wisdom and able to handle life with ease, actually has such a fragile side in her heart.

He didn't know whether his expression was correct or not, but he just felt that he didn't seem to give his woman enough sense of security.

I still remember that when he just came back, the old lady made things difficult for her and she shouted that she wanted a divorce. In the past, she was obviously more afraid of divorce than her eldest sister-in-law.

It was obvious that she had changed.

That was the first time he looked at her seriously, and he discovered that there was something more in her eyes. She became positive, cheerful, optimistic and motivated, and her whole person was full of wisdom.

It was fascinating and made him want to know more.

Because she was drunk, he was a little impatient when he went to mediate the conflict. His mind was full of questions about boyfriends and whether she loved him or not. In the end, he just invited Han Yongfang to his home to calm down the old lady who still wanted to make a fuss.

He hardly wanted to waste a minute outside and was anxious to go home. Seeing her would calm him down.

Now I was lying on the kang, next to her, and I wanted to take a closer look at her.

The dim light enveloped her, illuminating her pretty face in every detail. It was a look he was familiar with.

Tonight, it was the first time that he looked at her seriously - attentively. He even wanted to see all of her inside, not just her face, eyes, and body.

If this was a gun, no matter how complicated it was, he would be able to take it apart and look inside.

But this is a soft woman. Her hair is soft, her eyes are soft, her lips are soft, her body is soft, everything about her is soft, even her bones seem soft.

This is another strong woman, with strong shoulders, a strong backbone, a strong character, and seemingly a hard heart as well. She is fearless and not afraid of anything.

If she and her sister-in-law were to switch places today, she would probably slam the table and demand a divorce.

divorce?

He never thought about it.

Getting married and having children is a lifetime journey, good or bad. This is how our parents lived their lives, and he is no exception.

Comrades also said that marriage is a man and a woman coming together, the woman giving birth to children for the man, and the man earning money to support the family so that the woman can live a good life.

No one has ever said that marriage is a matter of love.

Now she asked him whether he was worthy of her love, and she asked him whether he loved her.

If she hadn't asked, he would never have considered such a corny question in his life. Such flirtatious and stimulating words were something a person like him would never use in his life.

He actually doesn't know what love is.

He only knew that the nature of a soldier is loyalty.

Be loyal to the country, loyal to the party, loyal to the people, and loyal to the family.

Be loyal to your wife.

Treat her well all your life, just want to sleep with her, work hard to earn money to support the family, let her and the children live comfortably, and see her smile become sweeter and sweeter.

Although he didn't understand love, he was sure that she was the one he wanted, and it would be like this for the rest of his life.

If this is love, then he loves her to the core.

…

What about her, will she love him? Besides being her man, is he the one to whom her love belongs?

This question made him frown, and a strange and indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

Not very happy.

He reached out and gently stroked her soft cheeks, eyebrows, nose, lips, and chin. Imagining that they became more beautiful because of him, an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.

Maybe his movements were a little too heavy, she frowned slightly and muttered, "Third brother, hug me." Then she snuggled into his arms like a kitten, found the most comfortable position, and rubbed her face against his chest.

His heart suddenly trembled, as if it had been shattered by something, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

When it was almost dawn, Han Qingsong still didn't understand the philosophical proposition that had troubled mankind for thousands of years.

He also felt that he really should study. He had little education and little cultural knowledge, and these profound things from cultured people seemed hundreds or thousands of times more complicated than the most complex weapons and the most sophisticated tactics.

He really couldn't figure it out.

Then he used his military qualities to simply and roughly cut and chop the tangles in his head, burn them into ashes and throw them into the sky.

Humph, only those educated people who wear leather shoes, slicked-back hair and glasses would think about these annoying things after having a full meal.

She is his daughter-in-law and is sleeping in his arms. It is really crazy to think about such nonsense.

He hugged her tightly, kissed her lips, kissed her cheeks, and kissed her for a long time before he fell asleep in her arms, contentedly.

…

Han Qingsong's biological clock made him get up early the next day. The emotions and doubts that arose from many factors last night were deeply suppressed in his heart, without any signs of waking up.

He was still the same handsome, tall, serious and silent Han Qingsong, but his eyes softened involuntarily when he looked at Lin Lan.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he did not blow the whistle for morning exercises, but went to run on the South Road and do his usual training.

After getting enough daily exercise, I came back from running and said Happy New Year to everyone on the street.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the time for New Year’s greetings. They are of different generations and there are also children from the younger generation who come to visit, so there must be someone at home.

He was prepared for Lin Lan to go out and play with the other women, so he took a walk early, kowtowed to the uncles and uncles, and asked how many bowls of dumplings he had eaten.

Then he went to his parents' place.

After Lin Lan and the children left last night, the old house was noisy again for a long time.

Seeing that her eldest grandson had also betrayed her, Mrs. Han was so angry that she cursed, "You said that your grandfather and I were so good to you, but you are the eldest grandson, and you treat us like this?"

Haotian was a man of few words. After he said his angry words, he would remain silent. No matter what the old lady scolded him, he would endure it. He was her grandson, so she could scold him whatever she wanted.

But if you curse his mother, he will have to make a few excuses.

The old lady was so angry that she asked her daughter to get a rope for her so that she could hang herself in front of her sons and grandsons. "If you don't let me live a good life, no one will live a good life! You want to leave me and live a good life? No way! I want to see if people will poke your spine after I die! Did you make me die of anger?"

When the old lady failed to show off her arrogance, she wanted to sell herself out. She just couldn't get over the humiliation and couldn't bear to see Mrs. Han live so carefree.

Even the most honest Han sister-in-law rebelled against her. If she succeeded, she would feel that her life was a complete failure.

It seemed that all the things her mother-in-law had said to her in the past were right, and it seemed that she was wrong to confront her mother-in-law.

When the old man was dying, he scolded her for being lonely and cursed her for having no one to take care of her or see her off when she was old. Now, none of her three daughters-in-law wants to take care of her.

If she admitted it, then everything would be her fault!

So she refused to acknowledge her grandsons and would not allow them to separate and establish their own families. She would torture them.

How can you start your own household if you are not yet an adult? You will either be kicked out of your family or you will become disloyal and no longer want to live with your family.

"It's fine if you want to establish your own family, but you can arrange my funeral first, and then I'll see who dares to marry you in the future!" Old Mrs. Han took the risk.

The eldest grandson wants to take mother and move out, leaving grandma alone. Yes, if you move out, grandma will hang herself and won't be a burden to you!

Look around here, everyone will poke your spine!

Who dares to propose their daughter to you as your wife?

Seeing that she was making too much noise, Han Qingsong quietly invited Han Yongfang over.

When Han Yongfang entered the house, he heard the old lady cursing and suicidal. He coughed heavily, "It's New Year's Day, what are you doing? The whole team has heard it. Didn't you see that people don't dare to come to you to wish you a happy new year? Do you want to stop interacting with the villagers in the future?"

These are quite serious words; after all, they are people who care about their reputation.

Old Han hurried down to greet Han Yongfang, "Secretary, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, would you have made a fuss until the 15th? Really, you are so old, and you are still so depressed?" Han Yongfang came by himself, without his captain. He put his hands behind his back, pulled his face tense, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into a "川" shape.

He was serious to begin with, and now he was even more frightening, speaking bluntly, "Why do we live? Isn't it to survive this house full of people and to have a large family? Isn't it to have children and grandchildren, so that you can look proud when you meet your ancestors? When you are young, you have suffered hardships, and when you are old, who doesn't want to enjoy happiness? Put yourself in their shoes, we have all been sons and daughters-in-law, why can't you be more generous?"

Old Mrs. Han clutched her belt, covered her face and sobbed, "Brother, please come and support my waist. This is killing me. My mother, there is no way out."

"Okay, I didn't see you crying like this when your mother-in-law died." The old branch secretary exposed her bluntly without giving her any face.

At that time, Mrs. Han's mother-in-law stretched her neck and screamed for several days and finally died. Mrs. Han not only did not cry, but was very happy, which was particularly irritating to the people who came to handle the funeral.

After all, everyone has to save face. No matter how many grudges there are, the dead are the most important. Even if you are happy in your heart, you still have to pretend to be sad and cry a few times on your face.

The old lady's bright smile was considered disrespectful and most people didn't like it. It would cause gossip and people would talk about it for years.

This is also the biggest dark history of the old lady Han.

Especially now that the old lady was bullying her daughter-in-law again, the villagers dug up the past and chewed it over again. Although it was old gossip that was already boring, it had new material added. The daughter-in-law of the past had become a mother-in-law, and now she was bullying her own daughter-in-law, making the three daughters-in-law no longer want to live with her.

This is really interesting. Those in the village who know old stories will gossip about them with great relish, making this New Year especially interesting.

Han Yongfang generally doesn't like to meddle in other people's family affairs. After all, he is a father-in-law and he can't guarantee how well he does.

Han Qingyun told him several times to persuade Old Han and the old lady to separate the family property as soon as possible and stop making trouble all day long.

He said nothing.

Meddling in other people's family affairs will offend people and bring bad consequences. If not handled properly, people will hold a grudge against you.

But this time Han Qingsong came to him, and he gave Han Qingsong face.

And the old lady was going too far.

After being criticized by someone more authoritative and older than herself, Mrs. Han became speechless.

When Han Yongfang said that they would be allowed to divide up the good land and start their own households, and that she would lend them two houses in the brigade to live in, Old Mrs. Han covered her chest and said that her heart ached and she couldn't go on.

Han Yongfang simply waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm prepared. The barefoot doctor will be here soon."

Old Mrs. Han is no longer in pain.

Seeing that she had stopped making noise, Han Yongfang said nothing more, "It's settled, you will really separate on the eighth or ninth day of the New Year. Stop making noise, I still have to be busy preparing for the New Year. It's the New Year now, really." After saying that, he left.

Old Han saw him off. When they reached the door, Han Yongfang glanced at him and recalled his childhood. He said unhappily, "You can tell a person's future from his childhood."

Old Han uttered an "ah", not understanding what he meant.

Han Yongfang stared at Old Han for a while and saw that he had become hunched over, his eyes were blurry, and his nose was running.

Han Yongfang had harsh words on his lips but couldn't say them. After all, Old Man Han was several years younger than him, so how come he looked older than him?

Han Yongfang sighed heavily. Every family has its own problems. They just have to live their lives in a muddle.

"You, you had a good life, how come your life turned out like this? Smoke less and listen more to your third brother." Han Yongfang patted the shoulder of Old Han and walked away shaking his head.

The old lady was completely ashamed and angrily said that she was sick and couldn't get up from the bed, and wanted her daughters-in-law to take care of her.

Han's eldest sister-in-law was at loggerheads with her, so it was impossible for her to pay any attention to her. Lin Lan had already left, and no one dared to call her unless Han Qingsong spoke. Han's second sister-in-law knew that she was faking illness, so she ignored her and pouted, "If the daughter-in-law doesn't serve you now, who will?"

You can imagine how angry the old lady was.

This morning when Han Qingsong came over, she was still asleep. She hummed hard, looked at Han Qingsong and muttered, "Why doesn't your wife bring the kids to wish me a happy new year?"

Han Qingsong: "Waiting for mom to wake up."

Old Han got up, and sat in the main room smoking a pipe. He became more and more silent, and smoked more and more fiercely. Wherever he was, the smoke was choking.

Soon, the eldest and second brothers Han also followed suit. They were not in the mood to greet the new year. They just hummed a few words. The two brothers sat on the left and right of the door, like two door gods, with sad faces.

Han Qingsong is not a very delicate person. He cannot say anything to comfort others, so he just wishes a happy new year according to the occasion.

Hearing Han Qingsong coming, Han's wife and children came out of the house to greet him and exchange a few words.

They didn't say much, just letting the old lady hum and curse in the house.

Mrs. Han took some dry food and the two children to clean up the two rooms, thinking that she would live there at night and not come back to be bullied.

Brother Han stood up and wanted to follow to help.

Old Mrs. Han started coughing in the room, "Boss, give me some water to drink. I'm dying of thirst."

The eldest brother had no choice but to pour her some water.

Han Qingsong sat in the main room and sneered at people, so he went to sit in the yard. No one came to pay New Year's greetings for half a day.

Because of the embarrassing commotion at home last night, after the New Year's Eve dinner, adults and children came to pay New Year's greetings, but then they realized something was not right and told their children not to come. Naturally, they would not come this morning to embarrass us.

Anyway, the third room has already paid its respects, so it can just be the representative.

Han Erge looked at his sister-in-law and the others who were leaving the house and said, "Brother, sister-in-law isn't going to cook?"

Big Brother Han said nothing, but just sighed, while Old Man Han was puffing out smoke.

Han Erge thought about it and called his wife, "You and Jinyu can cook together. The whole family can't skip a meal. It's the first day of the new year."

Han's second sister-in-law then got up reluctantly and called the children to wish Han Qingsong a happy new year.

Seeing that her sister-in-law hadn't gotten up yet, Han's second sister-in-law didn't want to move and complained, "The bowl is broken, the steamed sweet potatoes are gone, and what's the point of steaming them?"

She was not happy to serve the whole family, so she was naturally full of complaints. Especially at this time, Han Jinyu wanted to sleep until the sun was high in the sky, which made her even more unhappy.

Han Erge went to the side room and knocked on the window, "Jinyu, get up and help your sister-in-law cook."

Han Jinyu shouted angrily: "You are all dead, and you want me to serve you?"

She cried all night, her voice became hoarse and her eyes were swollen. How could she face people?

Old Mrs. Han knocked on the edge of the kang with her walking stick, "As a daughter-in-law, how can you not serve your parents-in-law!"

Han's second wife couldn't lose her temper in front of Han Qingsong, but she had to eat at home anyway, so she had to do it without any hesitation.

After a long while, Han Jinyu got up, with a sullen face, red eyes and a sad look on her face. She didn't say hello to Han Qingsong or even look at him, just waiting for Han Qingsong to talk to her.

As a result, Han Qingsong acted as if he didn't see her and didn't even speak.

Han Jinyu was about to cry out of grievance.

In the past, there was a Korean sister-in-law who prepared three meals a day. Without anyone telling her, she would just bring rice and cook it for everyone to eat.

Now that Han's sister-in-law has given up the job, the whole family suddenly starts to act weird and look at each other.

Han Qingsong found that without Han Dasao's hard work and dedication, this family suddenly became like an old machine and could hardly function.

He stood in the room for a while, thinking about his home full of laughter and joy, feeling as if he was in two different worlds.

Han Jinyu and Han's second sister-in-law were still complaining to each other, and complaining that their eldest sister-in-law had given up on doing housework and left all the work to them.

Han's second sister-in-law: "Auntie, you light the fire and I'll put the pot on the stove."

Han Jinyu: "Why should I light the fire?"

Han Jinyu doesn't want to light a fire because she thinks it's dirty and will get dirt all over her head.

Han's second wife sneered, "Then you load the pot and I'll light the fire. Don't forget to cut the salted vegetables."

Han Jinyu prepared reluctantly, but something fell here or there, making a mess.

Han's second sister-in-law didn't care and just lit the fire herself.

Han Jinyu got angry: "Don't you know how to lend a hand?"

Han's second wife: "I told you to light the fire, but you wanted to put the pot in it, and you can't even put the pot in it?" You still want to marry a city girl? I'm afraid there are no women in the city? Are you crazy to marry someone like you?

Han Jinyu cried out in grievance, "Mom——"

Old Mrs. Han was still pretending to be sick and didn't want to get up. She moaned, "Jinyu, just learn it. From now on, you and your second sister-in-law will have to cook."

Han's second wife immediately said, "Don't point fingers at me. We have to divide it too."

The eldest sister-in-law is gone. If the family is not divided, all the housework will be handed over to her. She will have to serve the whole family, including the old lady and Han Jinyu?

She won't do that!

She won't be treated like a slave!

Han's second sister-in-law is the one who can see the situation most clearly.

Old Mrs. Han was so angry that she pounded the kang, but Second Brother Han did not support her and did not scold his wife.

Han Ersao is naturally not afraid. If her husband dares to say anything, he will never be able to enter the house at night!

Last Mid-Autumn Festival, she and Han Jinyu had a big fight because the third brother's family sent a bowl of meat dishes. At that time, the old lady also asked Han's second brother to beat Han's second sister-in-law.

Han Erge only shouted a few words, how could he dare to take action? In the end, he could only carry Han Ersao back to the house. As for whether he closed the door to teach his wife a lesson or to be taught a lesson by his wife, only he knew.

Now, he would never beat his wife.

Just look at the eldest brother and the third brother and you will know. The third brother did not beat his wife and divided the family property so he lives a comfortable life, while the eldest brother did not stand by his wife and he is in this unfortunate situation now.

Brother Han knows what's going on.

This is also what Han's second sister-in-law trained him day by day!

When they just got married, Mrs. Han also wanted to control Han's second sister-in-law and always ordered her second son to discipline his daughter-in-law.

Newlyweds, what can’t you do in the evening?

Han Ersao threatened Han Erge, "Get lost! You listen to your mother so much, why don't you sleep on her bed?"

So the second brother Han understood that he had to listen to whoever's quilt he slept in at night.

Now, not only does he have to sleep in Han Ersao's bed, but he also has to eat the food she cooks. How can Han Erge not see through the situation? Of course, he won't offend his own wife!

Naturally, one has to keep a low profile and behave himself, so all the talk of being filial is just lip service.

Han Jinyu finally put the pot on the stove and started cutting pickled vegetables, but she was so clumsy that she cut her finger a little and blood started to ooze out.

“Wow…” She threw the knife and burst into tears, “I cut my hand, I cut my hand.”

Han Ersao rolled her eyes and said, "You are so stupid! As a farmer, who wouldn't cut a piece of skin off? You are just spoiled!"

Old Mrs. Han was shouting in the house, asking people to apply some sugar to stop the bleeding.

Han Jinyu just cried loudly and looked at Han Qingsong, wanting him to care about her.

Han Qingsong sat there with a gloomy face, but he didn't seem to want to pay any attention to her.

Han Jinyu was just about to act coquettishly with him when she saw Han Qingsong stand up, say hello to his parents and brothers, and leave.

Seeing Han Qingsong leaving heartlessly, Han Jinyu cried even louder, "Mom, look at my third brother. He doesn't care about our family anymore."

Han's second sister-in-law raised her eyebrows and said gloatingly, "I just found out. You have to rely on yourself from now on!"
