Hanhan, if anything happens, please contact us immediately. Your grandparents, maternal grandparents, and uncle are all in Kyoto; you can ask them for help if needed.
Lin Han nodded, "Okay, I understand."
When the four of them came out of the study, Erni had already cleaned the house, and the room looked brand new again.
The food was prepared and placed on the table outside.
Qin Shuman went to serve the rice. Although the dishes were not as plentiful as what she had prepared, it was still nice to have ready-made food.
She scooped a full bowl of white rice for Lin Han, and also served a bowl to Huo Qizheng.
"Let's eat."
Erni stood to the side waiting to be seated for dinner, but no one called her after a long time.
"What do you mean? Don't Zhiwu and I need to eat? I did all of this."
Qin Shuman glared at her.
"You still want to eat? No way! You'll just have to go hungry. If you want to eat, go to your biological parents' house."
"You're not welcome in our home. Pack your things now and stay at a guesthouse tonight. Don't loiter around under my nose; it's annoying."
Erni felt that her mother-in-law had suddenly become more assertive.
That's true. Fang Zhiwu is no longer Qin Shuman's son. She has no more debt to Fang Zhiwu, so naturally she is not afraid of them.
"It's so late, isn't it unreasonable to kick us out? If the neighbors see this, your family won't be able to face anyone."
Qin Shuman stood up, picked up the water from washing vegetables next to her, and splashed it on Erni.
"If you say another word, I'll beat you out of here with this big stick. Now get out of here!"
Erni was embarrassed. This person had changed too much. She couldn't be so heartless just because Fang Zhiwu was no longer her son.
However, given Qin Shuman's sudden outburst of intolerance and Lin Han's explosive fighting prowess, Erni didn't dare linger. She packed her things and left with her family of three.
After dinner, Huo Qizheng wanted to take Lin Han home, but Qin Shuman wouldn't let him leave.
“We’ll all be family from now on, so why don’t you move in and live with your dad?”
"It's so convenient to eat and live at home, and you don't have to cook for yourselves anymore, isn't that great?"
Lin Han had no objections. She got along well with Qin Shuman. Qin Shuman was a good cook and spoke gently. Living together was like being a mother and daughter.
But Huo Qizheng was unwilling. He and Lin Han could do whatever they wanted, but suddenly they moved into Qin Shuman's house. They didn't dare to make too much noise and were too restrained.
“The houses we live in are quite nice. We’ll continue to live separately from each other. Anyway, we’re all close by, so we can come back whenever we want.”
Qin Shuman wanted to persuade him further, but Gu Huaiming stopped her.
He's a man, how could he not know what Huo Qizheng is thinking?
"Alright, stop meddling in this. The kids are all grown up now; you should give them some space."
The children became more reserved in our presence.
Qin Shuman looked at Lin Han, still feeling a little reluctant to part with him.
She had always wished Lin Han were her daughter-in-law, and now that her dream had come true, her son was monopolizing her as his daughter-in-law.
Can we just have the daughter-in-law and not the son?
Or she could arrange for Huo Qizheng to be away for a year or two, so that she could legitimately bring her daughter-in-law over to live with her.
"Alright, then we'll come back for dinner every weekend from now on. You young people can arrange your own time at other times."
After discussing it among themselves, Gu Huaiming instructed Li, the clerk, to buy train tickets to Kyoto.
"Yes, two soft sleeper tickets and three standing tickets, for Kyoto tomorrow."
