Lin Lan took it all in, but remained calm.

The relationship between the original owner and his daughter is actually easy to explain.

The original owner had always longed to be loved by someone. As a daughter, she hoped to be spoiled like a little princess. Unfortunately, her parents favored boys over girls and didn't love her. Although her mother-in-law didn't favor boys over girls, she still spoiled her little daughter endlessly.

In particular, the original owner was very jealous of her mother-in-law's doting on her younger sister-in-law. This unrequited doting made her unconsciously project her thoughts onto her daughter and give her all the love she wanted.

A daughter is her own embodiment.

Mai Sui has been held in her hands since she was young, but she can never give Mai Sui the good life she wants, which makes Mai Sui very upset. Since she was old enough to understand, Mai Sui has been annoyed by her mother's roughness and stupidity. Instead, she envies her younger sister because she is well-dressed, well-fed, well-educated, and loved by others. She attracts the envy of a group of boys and girls in school.

The original owner was uneducated, had little knowledge and was protective of his shortcomings, so he couldn't understand it. However, Lin Lan, as a bystander, saw it clearly.

If this happens, the daughter will be raised in a distorted way and will not be grateful to the mother. Instead, she will do nothing but complain.

Mai Sui was accustomed to thinking that it was natural for her mother to be nice to her, and she didn't consider anything else. For example, this time when she went to the county town, she didn't think about whether her mother and brother were sick, or anything else. She just thought that her mother was going to see her.

Typical self-centeredness.

Of course, that was the original owner's habit, he just got what he wanted.

Lin Lan naturally wouldn't get used to it.

First, she doesn't like children, and she takes care of them out of her duty. Second, she doesn't feel sorry for her children since they are not her own.

Ha ha.

As soon as she got home, Lin Lan heard the voices of the old lady and Han's second sister-in-law coming from the main room.

Han's second sister-in-law was furious. "How could there be such a person? She borrowed money from the team to go to the hospital. Who knows if she is using the child as an excuse to spend the money on herself? She needs to see a doctor. Why didn't she care so much about the child before? Why is she pretending now?"

All the money in the family was managed by my mother-in-law. Every penny came from her. She didn't get any extra money on her own. Yet, that poor woman actually went to the brigade to borrow money.

Do you have any shame?

She hasn't even gotten over the incident of drinking pesticides and pretending to be dead to avoid labor, and now she's going to borrow money. How could she be so shameless?

Old Mrs. Han was also angry, but the old man had already comforted her and calmed down her anger for the most part, telling her that Xiaowang's illness must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise people would gossip about him.

After spending five dollars to see the movie, the third roommate gave up as it was not good anyway. She no longer had an excuse to make a fuss.

Old Mrs. Han thought she should be magnanimous and not argue with the old woman, after all, Xiaowang was her grandson.

But when she thought about how the woman had dared to go to the brigade to borrow money, five yuan at a time, she felt very disappointed.

Every penny of the family's money comes from her. If someone else takes a penny, it's a challenge to her authority. It's really intolerable.

What's more, five dollars is not a small amount. Who can just take out a dollar?

The old man directly asked her, "How many thousands of dollars did the third brother send you? Is it not as much as these five dollars?"

When the old lady heard the thousands of dollars, her heart ached so much that she quickly told the old man to keep quiet, lest others might hear her and think she was jealous and taking advantage of her, which would have made the third brother's family even more noisy.

"Mom, are you going to take care of her? If she keeps going like this, she'll be the head of the family!" Han's second sister-in-law said angrily, "I think you should send her back to her parents' home. The third son is now a military officer, and there are many virtuous women out there. Why do you have to keep her around, a tigress who is so unfilial and unfilial?"

Lin Lan happened to enter the yard and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, second sister-in-law. Don't worry, I will never be virtuous. I will never be virtuous in my life. However, the third brother will never divorce me."

I'll make you mad, do whatever you want.

With Han Qingsong's personality, no matter how much the original owner did, he would do it for the sake of the child. He himself would not do anything wrong and teach the child. He must be grateful.

"you!"

Too arrogant!

Old Lady Han said unhappily, "You are so capable. You just wander around without working all day. Do you go to the county town casually?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Even if I don't work, the money my child's father earns is enough for me to eat."

You want me to do some physical work? I can't possibly do any heavy work in my life. I don't have the strength. I'd be exhausted after walking 50 miles.

She saw that the old lady and Han's second sister-in-law were furious, but she was not angry at all, and even fanned the flames: "Oh, by the way, Mai Sui went to the county town to wash clothes for her aunt and rubbed her hands. Tsk tsk, my dear daughter herself couldn't bear to let her suffer. Her aunt took her to a department store to look at leather shoes, and asked her grandma to buy her a pair."

Old Mrs. Han was already very angry. The five yuan was enough to make her grit her teeth and feel upset. Now she was talking about leather shoes. A pair of leather shoes cost seven or eight yuan. How could she just buy them casually?

She pulled her face and vented her anger on Wheat Ear Head, cursing, "How old are you, a young lady, and you're so conceited? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you deserve to wear leather shoes?"

Except for her little daughter, no one else is worthy in her eyes, especially the daughter of the third brother's family, who is the least worthy.

Lin Lan was very happy to hear her say this, because her purpose was to sow discord between Mai Sui, her grandmother and her aunt, so that they would not always take the opportunity to instigate discord between Mai Sui, Da Wang and her mother.

She added fuel to the fire, "What are you talking about? How come your daughter can wear leather shoes, but my daughter can't? The money is earned by her father!"

Mai Sui had heard it, and looked at Lin Lan with tears in her eyes. It was still her mother who protected her and spoke for her.

When grandma has money, she gives it to my aunt instead of me, but that money was originally earned by my father.

Woohoo~~~

Mai Sui cried sadly, covered her face and ran back to the east room to sulk. She had originally slept in the east room of the main house with the old lady, because she disliked the east room because it was narrow, dark, smelly and dirty.

I forgot about it now.

Old Mrs. Han was so angry at Lin Lan that she was shaking all over, and her fingers were trembling as she pointed at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Oh... Mom... Don't be angry. It's not worth it to be angry."

Lin Lan was still a little uncomfortable calling a stranger "Mom".

It would be very troublesome for an elderly person to have another stroke.

She led Xiaowang back to the east room with a smile, humming a little tune, "Today, the common people are happy, happy~~"

Old Mrs. Han and Second Sister-in-law Han looked at each other in bewilderment. Look, look! What kind of character is this!

Old Mrs. Han cursed: "You might as well jump into the river, hang yourself, or drink pesticides!" At least the one who is in trouble is herself. Now she is not looking for death, but is just trying to make others angry, like a smiling tiger possessed!

Don’t be fooled by the smiling tiger. Should we secretly ask a spirit to come and take a look?

Lin Lan went back to the east room and let Xiaowang lie down and rest before dinner. She took out a piece of the candy that Yang Han had given her and stuffed it into Mai Sui's mouth.

It's like giving a slap in the face and a date in return, especially for a little girl, whose heart is hurt and needs to be comforted quickly, so that she, as a mother, will be gentle and close to her daughter in her heart.

Mai Sui ate the sweet candy and dived into Lin Lan's arms, saying aggrievedly, "Mom, my grandma is so partial."

Lin Lan was suddenly at a loss, her whole body stiffened, cold sweat broke out, and she wanted to run away as soon as possible.

Xiaowang was only four years old, so it was fine for her to hug a small child, but for Mai Sui, a girl as old as her, Lin Lan really couldn’t hug her nor push her away. She didn’t know what to do.

Fearing that Mai Sui would become suspicious, she could only pat him on the back and said, "I took Xiao Wang to see a doctor, and he gave me some candies..."

Mai Sui cried until she was choked with sobs, "Mom is still good to me!"

Grandma would ask her to serve her younger sister-in-law, wash clothes for her, and serve tea and water. They never said anything good about themselves, and her mother was never willing to do any work herself.

Wuwu!! My mother is still the best.

Lin Lan stroked her hair and said softly, imitating the tone of other mothers coaxing young ladies: "Mai Sui, don't worry. When we have money after the family division, I will definitely buy you leather shoes and a flowery dress."

"But...from what grandma said, if the family is divided, she will kick us out and won't even give us any money."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "That's not up to her."

It is inevitable that it will rain, that a mother will get married, and that a son will change his career. These are beyond human control.

After a while, crying sounds came from the west room. It was Han's second sister-in-law crying.

She cried that her family was poor and it was unfair. The second and first wives were still squeezed into the west room, one family slept on the north kang, the other slept on the south kang, and the children slept in the east room with their grandparents.

But the third brother can sleep in the east room by himself.

She also pretended to be dead and didn't go to work all day to avoid labor, leaving her family to support her for nothing.

On what basis?

I have saved up cloth coupons for a long time, and I was afraid that they would expire, so I exchanged them with others after a while. I have been saving up until now to have enough, but I don’t have the money to buy more cloth. I am afraid I will have to wait until the Chinese New Year to talk to my mother-in-law and ask for a few dollars to buy more cloth.

But the woman went to the brigade to borrow money herself.

If that's the case, she'll go borrow it too!

When Han's sister-in-law came back, she heard someone crying at home. At first she thought it was from the third son's family, but when she listened carefully, she found it was from the second son's family. She immediately became suspicious.

She thought that she came home late and didn't cook, so the old lady asked the second son's family to cook, but the second son's family was not happy about it.

"Come on, come on, I'll cook."

At this time, Lin Lan came out from the east room and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, let me help you cook."

Han's sister-in-law shuddered with fear and subconsciously said, "No, no, you must be tired from taking the children to the county town. Take a rest."

In the past, the third sister had a gloomy face all day long, as if everyone owed her a bottle of pesticide. She would sneer as soon as she opened her mouth, and no one dared to talk to her.

Now she is so amiable and even offers to work, Mrs. Han is afraid that she has ulterior motives and wants to put pesticides in the pot to poison the whole family.

Mrs. Han was startled and rushed into the house to cook. She thought that she had to watch carefully in the future and not give the third brother's family any chance.

It is said that a dog that bites never barks. It used to bark all day long but didn’t bite anyone, it only caused trouble for itself. Now that it doesn’t cause trouble for itself, it shouldn’t bite anyone.

Thinking of this, she felt that the third brother's family should really be divided out.

Lin Lan spread her hands. It wasn't that she was lazy and didn't do her job. It was that people didn't dare to hire her.

She took a look and took the initiative to clean the yard. There were several chickens at home, and the yard was very dirty. She cleaned the patio and ate outside in the evening, which was cool.

After sweeping, she saw that the three boys had not returned home yet, so she went out to look for them.

Erwang is okay, he is smooth-talking and insincere, he can be changed imperceptibly in daily life, but Sanwang is a water lover, he really needs strictness to be controlled, right?

She had no experience in educating children and was simply making up her mind based on her own observations.

And there is Dawang, who is already quite big and is really giving her a headache.

She wanted to go to Nanhe first, for fear that Sanwang would have leg cramps again. After all, the food he ate was not nutritious, and if he was deficient in calcium, he would definitely have leg cramps.

The most feared thing when swimming is leg cramps.

When she reached the entrance of the village, she saw several boys playing war and criticism games.

The leader had a shaved head, thick eyebrows and long eyes. Although he was young, he looked very heroic. His body was as strong as a calf. He was directing his companions to do this and that, and his words sounded very logical.

It is very prosperous.

He likes to be the leader of the kids. His friends have to listen to him, and conflicts will arise if anyone questions his status.

Just then, there was a kid older than them who was not satisfied with Dawang being the leader and started to challenge him outright.

The two children started fighting.

The other children surrounded them excitedly, clenching their fists to cheer them on, "Fight, fight, come on Dawang!"
