Han Qingsong said, "Wait a little longer. Since you promised to get married, you will not break your promise."

Even if he didn't say that he was from the Public Security Bureau, the man wouldn't dare to be so negligent towards her four brothers from her mother's side. There must be something wrong.

At this time, Haotian, Dawang and several other brothers and sisters also came over, and when their aunt got married, their nephews and nieces also came to see her off.

Han Jinyu was very anxious in the room. Seeing them, he got angry again and cursed, "What are you doing here, you guys are always looking forward to the future, aren't you annoying enough?"

After she said this, Da Wang turned around and led his brothers and sisters away. He was only going there out of courtesy. If he didn't come, people would blame his parents for being ignorant and not letting their children marry their aunt. He wasn't really here to see her off, so she really took it as a favor.

Seeing that Da Wang and the others had left, Han Jinyu got angry again, "You don't let me say a word. Do you still think of me as your aunt? How can you treat me like a junior?"

There was no one to help her except Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han even asked Haotian and Gumi to leave and not look at her face here.

The adults are here out of responsibility for this family, no matter if she is ugly or makes people laugh at her.

Han Jinyu cried and was anxious at home. An hour later, two men and two women finally came. When Han Jinyu saw the men coming, she turned around and rushed into the house to hide, shouting that she would not get married.

Naturally, no one paid any attention to her. Brother Han and his men were the ones who came to welcome the bride.

One of the two men was gentle and polite, while the other was burly. One of the two women looked kind and smiling, like city people, while the other was burly with a dark and yellow complexion, looking like country women.

They were pushing a bicycle and carrying two lunch boxes.

The gifts that Han Jinyu's in-laws had mentioned, including a bicycle, a radio, and a watch, naturally did not need to be sent to Han's house. Because the bride had to ride a bicycle, Liu Haozhe's watch was given to Han Jinyu to wear when she got married, and the radio was placed in the new room.

So they brought two loads of food to treat the bride and groom to a meal at their parents' home. It was not bad, after all, many families didn't have this.

Brother Han looked at her and asked, "Where's my aunt?"

He wiped his sweat off his forehead and said apologetically, "But... well, it was unlucky. Haozhe was riding his bike on the road and tripped over a rock. His foot got stuck and he was badly sprained and couldn't get over. We asked someone to take him to the hospital, and he pushed the bike to us so that my uncle could ride it when he came to pick up the bride."

The woman in the city also said yes, she was really embarrassed and was really caught up.

Han Jinyu heard this from inside the house and said angrily, "This is my lucky month, you can't blame me for this."

"Sister, it's getting late and we have to hurry. Why don't we have dinner early and send off the bride and groom?" the kind woman advised through the window.

In the room, Old Lady Han and Han Jinyu still wanted to make some moves.

Brother Han was so anxious that he kept looking at Sister-in-law Han and Lin Lan, wanting them to go and persuade them.

Lin Lan did not move. She would not go. Han's sister-in-law hesitated. Although she hated Han Jinyu, this was also related to the face of the Han family.

Han Qingsong went in before her and glanced at Han Jinyu. "If you don't want to get married, forget it. It's not too late to regret it now."

He was telling the truth, but Han Jinyu thought he was joking and immediately jumped down, "I'm just packing up my things, right?"

Han Qinghua also smiled and said, "Pack your things quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."

The few people who came outside to welcome the bride finally had time to greet and introduce themselves to the Han family. They were all acquainted by Han Jinyu.

The gentle ones are a couple, the man is a colleague of Liu Haozhe at the factory, named Li Zhaolong. The burly ones are also a couple, and they are Liu Haozhe's cousin Liu Dache from his hometown.

While apologizing, Li Zhaolong took out a cigarette from his pocket and shared it with Old Han and Big Brother Han.

Old Han took a cigarette reluctantly and shook his head to refuse it. The eldest Han brother didn't smoke, but the second Han brother, although he didn't smoke, took a few cigarettes and put one on his ear. He saw that the cadres who went to the countryside did the same.

Li Zhaolong handed Han Qingsong another cigarette, but Han Qingsong shook his head and said, "No."

Li Zhaolong smiled, struck a match and lit the cigarette pot for Old Han, and then for Second Brother Han. He smoked and talked to several people. He was kind and talkative, talking about the farm work, work points, and harvest in the village, and then about the harvest next year after the snow, which were all topics that the rural members were happy to participate in.

Han Qingsong: "Is Liu Haozhe seriously injured?"

Li Zhaolong smiled bitterly: "It was quite powerful. His ankle was swollen at that time. He wanted to grit his teeth and persevere, but unfortunately he was too fierce and I didn't let him come over to avoid embarrassing things."

Han Qingsong nodded and said, "It's just a broken bone, take good care of yourself."

Over there, Han Jinyu had already heard Li's wife's vivid description of how Liu Haozhe fell and was injured. Now he was no longer angry or anxious, and he couldn't wait to leave.

Li's wife said that they had to eat, and they should hold the necessary ceremonies anyway, as it was also the custom.

Han Jinyu started to urge Old Lady Han to hurry up, and complained about Sister-in-law Han's dawdling, "What are you doing? I don't know what you've been dawdling for the whole morning."

As she said this, she glared at Lin Lan and said, "Don't you expect me to order well?"

Han Qinghua pushed her and said, "Sister, stop talking nonsense. After you get married, we won't see each other for many years. Then you will know how close your brother and sister-in-law are."

"They won't lose a bit even if I tell them." Han Jinyu was still indignant. She saw that except for her three sisters-in-law, she didn't see any children. Not to mention the good rice, even a few ears of wheat were missing.

She was unhappy again, "Where are my nephews and nieces? My aunt is getting married, and they won't come to see her off?"

Lin Lan: Who are you? Don’t you know who you are? You were the one who chased him away just now? Do you have amnesia?

Han Jinyu complained to the old lady and Brother Han that her family didn't respect her. "I want to share the candy chess pieces with my nephews and nieces."

When Dafu, Gaoliang, and Xiaofu heard that they were going to divide the candy chess pieces, they immediately ran over and shouted, "Auntie, Auntie."

Han Jinyu saw that Dafu's hair was messy and sticking up like weeds, and lice could be seen crawling on it. The sorghum was also dirty, and Xiaofu had a big runny nose. Compared with the children in Lin Lan's family, they were really different. They were not ugly, but they looked extremely ugly. Especially since they had not taken a bath since late autumn, they naturally had a pungent and unpleasant smell of putty on their bodies after these few months.

She immediately covered her nose and waved her hand impatiently to chase them away, "Go away, go away, it stinks."

Brother Han said it was getting late and they should have the wedding banquet early.

The food boxes that Li Zhaolong and his friends brought contained eight dishes in total, including wedding buns, pork head, fish, scrambled eggs, four-happiness meatballs, etc. They were all frozen when they arrived, so they were heated up in a big pot and eaten together with the dishes from Lao Han's family.

Brother Han had bought some wine at the market on the old lady's orders, and now he was bringing it out for everyone to drink while eating.

Originally, they should have invited Quanfu's sister-in-law and aunt, but Han Jinyu was annoyed that they would not want to come because they saw how lively he was, so they just had a meal with his family.

After dinner, Brother Han and Han Qingsong helped to bundle the dowry onto the bicycle, and Liu Dachet carried the rest.

There were two bicycles in total. Han Qinghua and Han Jinyu rode one, and Li Zhaolong pushed the wedding dowry on the other.

At almost three o'clock, Han Jinyu ate red dates, noodles, and dumplings, and then went out.

Most people, when getting married, would hug their old mother and cry bitterly when they are moved by the scene. However, Han Jinyu was worried about Liu Haozhe and urged him to hurry up. After getting in the car and leaving, she didn't even look back.

Han's wife complained to Lin Lan: "He is so cruel. He doesn't care about us, and he doesn't even miss his own parents."

Han's second sister-in-law laughed and said, "Oh, I think there's still a lot of excitement to be had."

She and Han Jinyu lived in the same courtyard and knew more things than the two sisters-in-law. They often gossiped, but it was a pity that Lin Lan didn't like gossiping and didn't like hanging out with Han's second sister-in-law, so Han's second sister-in-law never had the chance to show off and felt uncomfortable.

She waited for Lin Lan to ask her out of curiosity, and then she would say a few words. But Lin Lan didn't respond at all. What Han Jinyuai said was none of her business.

Sister-in-law Han looked at Han Jinyu's back, still a little bit unbelievable, and held Lin Lan's arm, "Sister-in-law, do you think this is true?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "How could it be fake?"

Mrs. Han breathed a sigh of relief, "Amitabha." The plague god was finally sent away.

Han's second sister-in-law smiled and said, "The eldest sister-in-law has to burn incense, let her go and cause trouble for other people."

When Han Erge heard her slandering his sister, he still felt a little embarrassed and said, "What are you talking about, old woman?"

However, Han's second sister-in-law stared at old lady Han with a gloating smile, "Now that your dear daughter is not in front of you, who are you going to be with? You're going to suffocate to death!"

Lin Lan was too lazy to talk to them, so she would just go home and marry Han Jinyu off. Then everyone would feel relieved and no longer have to hear about her not getting married and her marriage failing all day long, which was really annoying.

…

The next day, the children went to school and Han Qingsong went to work. In the morning, Lin Lan sewed bibs for Xiaowang and Sanwang at home. She collected some scraps of cloth, and some that Lin Mei had given her, and put them together to sew something.

Sanwang's clothes get dirty easily. Even though he wears a coat, it still gets dirty faster than others. In this weather, it's hard to dry after washing, so she makes a child wear the coat backwards, so that it won't get dirty when wrapped around the chest, and it's OK to wash it every two days.

In addition to playing the flute and harmonica with Huo Yuan, Xiaowang also likes to paint. He uses the cheap watercolors that Lin Lan brought back. He enjoys painting and Lin Lan naturally doesn't object, but his clothes get dirty easily.

She was concentrating on operating the sewing machine when she suddenly heard Han Qinghua's voice from behind her, "Sister-in-law, are you home alone?"

Lin Lan subconsciously grabbed the awl at hand and said in a normal voice, "You and big brother just came back? Is the Liu family okay?"

Han Qinghua stood at the west door and smiled at her, "Very good. If you don't hear me when I call you from outside, I will park the car in the yard and bring you wedding cakes and sugar chess pieces."

Lin Lan wanted to go outside to talk, but when she turned around and saw Han Qinghua blocking the door, she pretended not to care and continued to make clothes with the awl in her hand, "Put it on the table. I'm busy, so I won't keep you to talk."

In the countryside, the courtyard doors are open during the day, but most people will shout at the gate when they go to someone else's house and wait for the owner to come out. If they have a good relationship, they will go to the courtyard, or get the owner's permission before entering the house. Most people will not go in and out of other people's bedrooms casually. If you lose something, it's hard to say, the key is to avoid suspicion.

Especially since Lin Lan and Han Qinghua have a grudge against each other, they have to avoid suspicion to avoid being suspected of doing something unfaithful.

So when Han Qinghua came in, Lin Lan immediately tensed up and was on guard, but she soon calmed down. Han Qinghua didn't dare to do anything in the village, and she didn't feel that he had any hostility. If he really wanted to attack her, he would have to have unbearable resentment and be ready to fight to the death, which she was sure Han Qinghua didn't have.

She is not afraid anymore.

Han Qinghua saw Lin Lan turned her head to look and then continued to sit on the stool to work, and was not as flustered and afraid as he expected. He went into the house and put the things on the kang, and then sat down on the edge of the kang at the door.

He looked at Lin Lan from behind and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, these sugar chess pieces are delicious. Try them."

Lin Lan paused and said calmly, "His sister-in-law was reluctant to give it to him before she got married. Why are you bringing it back from so far away? Okay, go ahead. I'm busy here too."

Han Qinghua, however, did not leave. He sat there and talked about how he and his elder brother went to send off the bride, how it went on the road, how the Liu family was, how the city was, and how they stayed in the guesthouse at night.

Lin Lan frowned and interrupted him: "Look, I'm busy here and don't have time to listen to you. How about waiting for your third brother to come back?"

Han Qinghua suddenly laughed, "Sister-in-law, why don't you dare look back at me? Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Lan sneered, "Why should I be afraid of you?" Not only did she not look at him, but she continued to work on the sewing machine, and the clattering sound was heard in the room again.

Although she was calm, she remained alert, especially because the sewing machine had been wiped clean and was shiny, so it could reflect every move of Han Qinghua behind her.

Han Qinghua began to talk about the labor reform farm again. "It was so damn hard when I first got there. I couldn't get up in the morning, I couldn't finish the work in a day, I couldn't eat enough, sister-in-law... you don't know, I was so pitiful." There was a hint of grievance in his voice, but it was not obvious in the clattering sound.

Lin Lan pretended not to hear. She paused for a moment and said, "Old Four, look at how messy it is here. I can't hear you clearly. You should go back first."

Han Qinghua stopped talking and just sat there looking at her.

Lin Lan thought that since he was blocking the door, she would have to pass by him before going out, which would be inappropriate, so she continued to work, pretending not to be on guard against him.

Suddenly, she saw Han Qinghua stand up and actually walk towards her!

Lin Lan tensed up immediately and gripped the needle tightly.

When she saw Han Qinghua reaching out his hand to her, she tilted her body and stabbed him with the spike in her hand hatefully.

Han Qinghua blocked it with his arm, but the stab could not penetrate his thick cotton coat. He grabbed Lin Lan's wrist with one hand, and with his other hand, he swept the small scissors and other things on the ground.

He looked at the gleaming cone in her hand, his face instantly turned cold, and he growled, "Lin Lan, you are so cruel. Not only did you send me to labor reform, you also wanted to kill me? Huh?"

Lin Lan didn't waste her words on him. She slapped him hard with her left hand, causing his head to tilt. "Get out of here, or I'll make you stay in a labor camp for the rest of your life!"

Han Qinghua was filled with anger. He used the difference in strength between men and women to restrain her hands and squeeze her onto the sewing machine. He looked down at her. How could she be so bad? So bad! This vicious woman! He said bitterly, "How could you be so bad, woman! So bad!"

Lin Lan opened her mouth to shout, but Han Qinghua quickly loosened his grip on her and raised his hands, "Don't shout, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Lin Lan stared at him coldly, "Misunderstanding? Why did you sneak up on me? If you kept your distance, would I run over and stab you?"

Han Qinghua's face flashed with guilt, and then he said stubbornly: "You said it was broad daylight, and at home, what could I do to you? As for you stabbing me with a spike without saying a word? If it was stabbed in the neck, I would be dead, right?"

"Stand back and get out now!" Lin Lan said sternly.

"I've changed, I've apologized to you, what else do you want? Are you going to never forgive me?" He stared at her angrily, then remembered something, scratched his head, and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean any harm, I really have changed, please forgive me."

Lin Lan said coldly: "You don't have to pretend. You know whether you have any bad intentions or not. Even if you don't have any bad intentions, do you understand how to avoid suspicion? Get out immediately."

Turn from evil to good? That's not evil at all!

Han Qinghua had suppressed his previous anger, with a flattering smile on his face. He raised his hands in surrender, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, calm down, I really mean no harm. I just thought the clothes you made were weird, and I wanted to take a look. You said you are my sister-in-law, would I dare to do anything to you? Am I not afraid that my third brother will chop me off? You are so excited that you misunderstood me." He said as he backed away, and when he retreated to the west door, he smiled at Lin Lan, "Sister-in-law, just stand here. I knew that you seemed normal when you talked and laughed with me on the surface, but in your heart you must be doubting that I don't believe me." He must have instigated his third brother a lot.

"Get out! Don't you know the basic rules of social interaction?"

Han Qinghua looked at her expression and softened his voice, "Sister-in-law, if you still hate me, beat me up. If you really want to stab me, go ahead."

He turned his back to Lin Lan, "You can do it as you like. I hope you will calm down and stop doubting me. Although I am not a good person, I am not a beast. How can I not know right from wrong? I want to go home and get married and live a good life in the future. I can't be like my sister-in-law and her enemy."

He even bent down, holding his knees with both hands, and urged her, "Sister-in-law, please get the injection. I am not afraid of the pain. After the injection, you will calm down and forgive me. We are still a family in the future, so don't hate me anymore."

"Go ahead," Lin Lan relaxed. She was too nervous just now and got angry when she saw Han Qinghua approaching.

Hearing her tone soften, Han Qinghua urged her, "Sister-in-law, give me a definite answer, or I'll kneel down for you."

He turned around and knelt down to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan refused to be kneeled by him and moved aside. "Go ahead. I still say the same thing. Even if you change, we should keep our distance. I won't stop you from looking for your brother, but don't show up in front of me alone."

If Han Qinghua was sensible or had no ill intentions, he should not have entered the house knowing that Han Qingsong was not at home. Since he entered the house, Lin Lan had reason to suspect that he had malicious intentions.

Even if he actually had no ill intentions, Lin Lan did not feel guilty for being suspicious.

Han Qinghua took two steps on her knees, looking sincere and innocent, "Sister-in-law, why won't you forgive me? I was young and ignorant before, and I did something wrong. Please forgive me."

As he said this, he began to slap himself, crying as he slapped himself, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive me. I don't want to be unable to return home for the rest of my life, and I don't want to lose my third brother. Wuwuwu..."

Lin Lan frowned and said sternly, "Han Qinghua, are you acting? Get out of here right now."

Han Qinghua refused. He blocked the door and Lin Lan couldn't leave.

Just then, Brother Han came over and called out in the yard. Hearing the movement in the house, he shouted, "Old Four, what are you doing in the house?"

He walked quickly into the main room and saw Han Qinghua kneeling on the ground and Lin Lan standing at the sewing machine with a frosty face.

Han was stunned. "Sister-in-law? Fourth brother, are you angry again?"

Han Qinghua cried and hugged Brother Han's legs, "Brother, I was wrong, I sincerely regret it. Please give me a chance and don't disown me as your brother. I don't want to lose you."

Brother Han was a little at a loss, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

Lin Lan raised her eyebrows. She really didn't expect this. This was too... childish.

If he acted for Han Qingsong, he might still care, but if he acted for Han Da Ge, he wouldn't care what Han Da Ge said.

Lin Lan sneered, "Hurry up and leave. Don't come around me when your third brother is not at home."

Seeing this, Han thought that Lin Lan was working at home, and the fourth brother came in and annoyed Lin Lan. He quickly apologized for the fourth brother, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law, the brother-in-law is a child, and it is normal for him to enter his sister-in-law's room... Of course, it's wrong, it's wrong, I scold him."

He pulled Han Qinghua up and said, "Let's go quickly. Don't make your third sister-in-law angry. You are so disrespectful."

Han Qinghua kept apologizing to Lin Lan and asking for forgiveness, but Lin Lan was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around and sat down to continue making clothes.

Han Da Ge pulled Han Qinghua out and to a deserted place outside the gate. He said, "Fourth Brother, you and your third sister-in-law have a grudge. Even if you change for the better, she will still feel uncomfortable. You shouldn't get close to her. She's alone at home. Wouldn't she be scared when she sees you?"

Han Qinghua said aggrievedly, "She was afraid? Big brother, you didn't see it, what was she afraid of? She was working, I called her several times but she didn't hear me, so I wanted to send her the wedding cakes and chess pieces. I wanted to put the things on the kang and say hello to her and leave, but she pretended not to see me and stabbed me with a spike. Do you think she hates me? She wants to kill me?"

Brother Han sighed, "You are a little too nervous. She doesn't understand you. You will get along better as time goes by."

They just happened to run into Xiuyun's mother who was looking for Lin Lan, so they dropped the topic.

Xiuyunniang greeted them and saw that Han Qinghua's face was covered with many red fingerprints. "Qinghua, what happened to you?"

Han Qinghua covered his face and smiled, "My sister-in-law beat me."

Xiuyun's mother immediately frowned, "Are you messing around again?"

Han Qinghua immediately shook his head, "No, really not. My elder brother is my witness."

Brother Han quickly said that it was okay and took Han Qinghua away.

Xiuyun Niang was skeptical and hurried to Lin Lan's house. Seeing Lin Lan standing at the door of the main hall, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you okay?"

Lin Lan smiled and invited her in, "Nothing."

Xiuyun's mother didn't ask any questions. She took out a few pairs of cloth shoes and said with a smile, "You gave me so much cloth. I can earn money to buy a new pair of shoes." She was very happy.

Lin Lan was very grateful. She didn't know how to make shoes, so all the cloth shoes in her home were made by Xiuyun's mother and Xiuyun.

She gave money but they refused, so she gave more cloth. It turned out that the work was originally meant for her and Han Qingsong, but because there was too much cloth, the child was also made to do it.

Lin Lan was embarrassed and refused to ask for more. At most, she could only give one pair per person per year, which made her feel bad.

The two talked for a while, and then Xiuyun's mother left first.

At noon, the children came home and Lin Lan had already prepared lunch. Sanwang grabbed Xiaowang's hand and rushed into the house, "Mom, tomorrow is Laba Festival, we still have to make Laba porridge."

Seeing her own children, Lin Lan really forgot all her worries and said with a smile, "Do it, of course. We have to do better this year."

Last year, due to limited ingredients, she was not very satisfied with the result. This year, she started collecting ingredients very early on, and now is the perfect time to show off her skills.

Erwang said, "Mom, wait until we get out of school after noon and then we'll do it." Sanwang was thinking about eating, and Erwang was thinking about cooking.

Lin Lan said happily: "With your help, I can relax."

School was over before three o'clock in the afternoon. Da Wang took San Wang to a distant place to cut cattails and roast them. Er Wang and Mai Sui helped Lin Lan cook, and then they picked beans together.

This year, in addition to the usual peanuts, red beans, kidney beans, and red dates, Lin Lan also prepared longan, lotus seeds, glutinous rice, and walnut kernels, which are difficult to collect locally.

Because Lin Lan prepared too early, although she tried to store it properly, some of it was still bad. Especially in summer, food is prone to insects, and it will be ruined if you are not careful. She is reluctant to throw away the waste, and can pick it out and crush it to feed chickens and ducks.

They pick the ones that are dry and clean, then rinse and soak them in clean water, and they can start boiling them early the next morning.

Lin Lan asked Mai Sui and Er Wang to do their homework and read books while she helped Xiao Wang try on clothes.

With the help of a sewing machine, the clothes were beautiful and durable, so Lin Lan let Xiaowang wear them while painting.

Xiaowang was still drawing his big family portrait. He would paint something on it whenever he thought of it. It seemed that he would not be able to finish until the paper was full. Lin Lan also found it quite interesting and just watched from the side without giving any instructions.

…

At around five o'clock, Han Qingsong returned home from the commune and met Han Qinghua wandering at the entrance of the village. "Old Four?"

Han Qinghua ran over immediately upon hearing his voice and said with a smile, "Third brother, you're off work now. Mom and Dad are waiting for you to go home and talk."

Han Qingsong: "Wait a moment, I'll go help the kids carry firewood first." These past few days, Dawang went to cut cattails after school. After all the cattails nearby were cut, he went to somewhere farther away.

Han Qinghua wanted to tell his third brother as soon as possible to prevent Lin Lan from accusing him and slandering him, but he didn't know how to start.

It’s not that his brain is not quick enough, but Han Qingsong doesn’t give him any chance. He takes a big step and quickly walks away.

Han Qinghua had to go home first.

When they returned home, Han Qingsong and Dawang carried firewood, while Sanwang carried a sickle.

When Sanwang rushed into the house, Xiaowang had already drawn a lot of grains on the blank space, as well as bowls of steaming Laba porridge.

There was a big mouth next to the porridge bowl. Although no one knew who it belonged to, the family members knew it was Sanwang at a glance.

Sanwang wanted to see it, but Xiaowang quickly put it away and refused to let him see it, saying, "Wait until the New Year to see it." This was his New Year's gift to his family.

Sanwang smiled and said, "Brother Xiaowang, don't forget me. Don't leave me behind when you eat delicious food." Since he knew that Xiaowang's dreams tasted better, Sanwang would remind his brother every day not to forget to take him with him into his dreams.

During dinner time, Gao Liang came running over and called, "Sanda, my grandma and grandpa are calling you to have dinner."

Han Qingsong said, "Go back and tell them I'll eat before you go."

Gao Liang saw that the food on Lin Lan's table was better than that at her own home. She swallowed and waited for Lin Lan to invite her to dinner. However, Lin Lan just asked her a question and did not try to keep her.

Gao Liang stood at the door, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Mai Sui was dissatisfied with her because of her previous nonsense. "You should go home and have dinner."

Gao Liang then turned around and left, feeling very unhappy. When she returned, Han Qinghua was waiting at the door. She held out her hand: "Father, where is my candy?"

Han Qinghua: "Where is your third dad?"

Gao Liang said unhappily, "The food at his house is so good, he doesn't even want to come and eat."

Han Qinghua gave her a piece of candy, and when he saw that Han Qingsong was nowhere to be seen, he went home to eat.

Brother Han was still talking to his parents about the Liu family. "Aunt's ankle was badly sprained, but she seemed to be very kind to Jin Yu. She even had the key to the family's money and ration box."

Mrs. Han was very happy and said, "Just give it to Jin Yu."

Seeing Han Jinyu sitting there without saying anything, she asked, "Jinbao, your sister is married. When will you get married?"

Han Qinghua said absentmindedly: "Mom, I'm still young."

He was sure that Lin Lan would say bad things about him to Han Qingsong. He regretted it very much and secretly cursed himself for being stupid. He shouldn't have gone to test her when he saw that she was alone at home. He really couldn't help it at that time. He was angry when he thought that she had messed up and ruined his good home. Why did she live so comfortably?

There were no outsiders around at the time, and he really had a flash of impulse, but reason prevailed. He knew that he couldn't do anything at home. If he couldn't get her to tell him, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

That sentence is right, we cannot perish together with the enemy, that is the most foolish thing to do. Oh, I should mend my relationship with my brother and sister-in-law, but he... I really can't help it, seeing Lin Lan like that really hates her.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this!

He also thought that he was smart enough and knew that his elder brother would go so he resolved the matter. Now his elder brother thought that Lin Lan was too troublesome.

He originally wanted to go home and complain to his parents, but his eldest brother asked him not to say anything. In order not to displease his eldest brother, he had no choice but to endure it.

Just talk to Third Brother.

He was eating absent-mindedly when Han Qingsong came in from outside.

Han Qinghua immediately put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Third brother, you are here."

Han Qingsong glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Han Qinghua touched his face and hesitated, "No, what did my sister-in-law... say to you?"

Han Qingsong has always been a man who never shows his emotions, and at this moment he had no expression at all. He didn't say anything, just looked at Han Qinghua.

Han Qinghua was even more suspicious when he saw her like that, so he quickly smiled and said, "Third brother, my sister-in-law is a little too nervous. I kept apologizing, but she...well, she just can't tolerate me. She even tried to stab me with a spike."

When Mrs. Han heard this, she got anxious and slammed the table and yelled, "What is she doing? Why is she stabbing you with a spike? Third brother, what's going on?"

Han Qingsong ignored the old lady and turned to look at Han Qinghua with a cold expression and stern eyes, "Old Four, I told you, remember it."

Han Qinghua smiled flatteringly, "Third brother, you told me so much, which one did you remember?" He didn't take it seriously and showed his face to Han Qingsong, "Third brother, look, my sister-in-law is so cruel, she slapped me...ah——"

He cried out in surprise, and then saw Han Qingsong punching him, scaring him so much that he quickly hid behind the old lady.

"Third brother, listen to me, I didn't do anything. I just went to deliver the wedding cakes and chess pieces. It was my sister-in-law who stabbed me with a spike. I apologized to her and she said she forgave me. How... why did she turn against me and complain again?" He felt very aggrieved.

Han also advised: "Third brother, it's okay, it's all a misunderstanding, sit down and talk it out."

Han Qingsong, however, had a cold face and said nothing. He made a feint with his left hand and grabbed Han Qinghua's neck with his right hand and dragged him out from behind Old Lady Han.

Old Mrs. Han was anxious: "Lao San, let go!"

Han's eldest brother also stood up anxiously to persuade them, "Third brother, you really misunderstood. It was my sister-in-law who was a little nervous."

Han Qingsong said in a low voice: "Everyone sit down."

He had been in the army for many years, killing enemies and seeing blood. Once he got serious, the coldness emanating from his body made people shiver and dare not approach him.

He walked out, pinching Han Qinghua's neck. Although Han Qinghua was not short, he was like a helpless child in his hands.

Old Mrs. Han started crying again, "What a sin this is." She was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, and her son was also going to rebel. She was so anxious that she kept slapping the old man Han who was dozing off next to her, "Still sleeping, still sleeping, the fourth son is going to be beaten to death."

Old Han hummed, "What's wrong?"

The eldest brother Han quickly called the second brother Han to go and have a look together.

But Han's second wife refused to let him go, "Can you beat the third brother? If he kills someone, can you die for him?"

Brother Han had to go by himself, but he didn't know where Han Qingsong and Han Qinghua had gone, so he went to both ends of the alley to check.

Han Qingsong carried Han Qinghua to the Xihe River, where they had talked before, and threw Han Qinghua against a tree. With a bang, Han Qinghua was hit on the tree and bounced up again, and suddenly fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

Han Qingsong said coldly: "Get out!"

Han Qinghua knew that he was no match for Han Qingsong and would only get beaten if he fought. He simply stopped fighting and cried, "Third brother, what are you doing? Am I your biological brother? Why do you treat me like this? I didn't do anything, why did you hit me?"

Han Qingsong looked down at him coldly, "You knew that Lin Lan didn't trust you, but you still approached her when I was not at home."

Every time Han Qinghua went home, Lin Lan would at most invite him to the main room, or let Han Qingsong go there, but never invite him to the inner room. Moreover, she and Han Qinghua were always polite and never intimate. With such a relationship, who gave him the confidence to come and go in Lin Lan's room at will?

If he hadn't entered Lin Lan's room, she wouldn't have been so angry.

According to his evaluation from her, his family was not at home and at most he went there to say a few words in the yard.

Why bother using a spike?

"I really went to deliver a wedding gift. How could I have known that she was so sinister behind her cheerful appearance!" Han Qinghua cried and began to tell the story of that time half-truthfully, which was similar to what Brother Han knew.

"Insidious?" Han Qingsong sneered. He didn't listen to anything Lin Lan said. When they were eating at home, they were fine, talking about making Laba porridge and the children learning to paint, and didn't mention Han Qinghua at all.

When he heard Han Qinghua say this, he felt something was wrong, so he kept a straight face and said nothing. Sure enough, Han Qinghua confessed himself.

Han Qingsong clenched his five fingers, tensed his body, and stared at Han Qinghua like an icy spike, making Han Qinghua feel as if he was stabbed by Lin Lan's spike.

Han Qinghua was lying on the snow, crying like a child. No matter how normal and mature he seemed now, he was still a 17 or 18-year-old boy at heart, at least he thought so. He tried hard to act mature and please the people around him. Although he could act like that, his true colors would show up when he was wronged.

"You are not good at disguising yourself, and you haven't completely changed, so there is no need to pretend to be harmless."

Han Qinghua: "What? What is this? How can it be that I haven't changed? It's obviously her who has evil intentions and wants my brothers to turn against each other. She is wrong. Big brother has seen it. Big brother can testify! She is the one who slandered me!"

Han Qingsong wanted to beat him up, but seeing how he was acting like a scoundrel, he was too lazy to even punch or kick him.

"Lin Lan didn't say anything. You said everything yourself."

Han Qinghua: …………

"Third brother, if you don't believe me, ask eldest brother. She was the one who started the trouble. She wanted to stab me to death and humiliated me because I sent her a wedding gift. Why didn't you give me justice?" Lin Lan didn't complain, which was perfect. He also didn't say anything. Why didn't third brother believe him?

Han Qinghua just couldn't figure it out.

"Can't figure it out?" Han Qingsong snorted coldly: "Lin Lan is a sensible person. You just do your job, so she will treat you with courtesy. How could she possibly use a spike on you? This means you're too close and it's not right!"

Han Qinghua cried out in injustice, "That's not the case at all. I went to deliver wedding gifts, and she stabbed me with a spike and made me kneel down to apologize. Anyway, she is my sister-in-law, so what if I kowtow to her? I kowtowed. If you don't believe me, ask my eldest brother!"

Han Qingsong didn't want to hear what he said. He knew more about Lin Lan than Han Qinghua did. He said coldly, "I'm warning you for the last time. Don't go to her house to annoy her. If you see her on the road, avoid her."

"What have I done? What have I done? Why do you treat me like this? Are we brothers?" Han Qinghua cried and pounded the ground, dying unjustly.

"Whether we are brothers or not does not depend on me. It depends on whether you treat me as your brother and Lin Lan as your sister-in-law." Han Qingsong was too lazy to say anything more to him, so he turned around and left.

Han Qinghua felt that she was more wronged than Dou E. "Why didn't I treat you as my third brother and her as my sister-in-law? She didn't treat me as her brother. She is your precious child, and my sister and I are just trash, worthless."

Han Qingsong ignored him and walked home with big strides.

Han Qinghua cried so sadly, he couldn't understand why his wife could be more important than his brothers, parents. Isn't this a typical case of forgetting his mother after getting a wife?

He originally wanted to drive a wedge between his brother and his wife, using Miss Qin to instigate, but Han Qingsong was not fooled, and Lin Lan was not suspicious. He also wanted to scare Lin Lan, if she complained to Han Qingsong, he would explain clearly that the eldest brother would testify and let the third brother know that she was unreasonable and a troublemaker.

Little did she know that Han Qingsong didn't believe it at all, he only believed that bad woman!

Even if Han Qingsong said that Lin Lan did not complain, Han Qinghua would not believe it. How could she not complain? She must have been the one who complained and instigated the third brother.

This vicious woman! She is Han Qingsong's sweetheart, and he is just a fool. He sees it clearly!
