Chapter 420

Lin Lan also thought about it— Han Qingsong didn’t go to the County these days and there was no meat at home, so the children were all getting greedy.

Liu Xiuyun wanted to share the meat with Lin Lan and Dong Huaihua, but they refused.

Lin Lan smiled and said, “You have been busy working with us, so you deserve it. Take it, there will be more to come in the future.”

Seeing that she wasn’t able to argue over the two of them, Liu Xiuyun had no choice but to hold onto it.

Liu Chuncai smiled and said, “Yun Er, if you are not greedy for meat, you can give it to me. I’m starving.”

Dong Huaihua smiled and said, “Do you not have enough meat on you?”

After talking and laughing, they went back to the village as Lin Lan walked home with the meat.

When she reached the entrance of the alley in front of Old Man Han’s house, she happened to see the youngest aunt Han walking towards her, so she increased her pace and hurried away.

“Stop!” Han Jinyu saw Lin Lan and ran after her. The youngest aunt could clearly see that she was holding a piece of meat.

How could Lin Lan stand still?!

The more she called after her, the faster Lin Lan ran. With a few strides, she disappeared from sight.

The youngest aunt stomped her feet in anger as she went home crying to Old Lady Han, “Mother, that shrew had a big piece of meat, but she didn’t even bring it home to be filial to you.”

A few days ago, Old Lady Han asked her second son to bring her to visit her youngest son in the labour camp. Upon arriving home, she was sore all over and even groaned.

She wanted her sons and daughters-in-law to take the initiative to say that ‘mother was not feeling well’ to have Old Three come over. But because of the incident during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest sister-in-law still had a passive demeanour. Besides cooking meals and working, she never uttered a single word.

Eldest Brother Han was complained by his wife, who refused to let him get close to her at all. As a result, even though men were typically supposed to be busy with nightly activities during the slack season, he didn’t even have the energy or the will to bother.

Plus, the old lady herself said that anyone who split with the family was considered an outsider. Anyone who talked to the shrew would be thrown out of the family as well, so no one would willingly seek Lin Lan out.

Even if the eldest sister-in-law wanted to see her now, no one was willing to be the messenger.

There were boiled sweet potatoes and corn paste for dinner, but there were no vegetables and only lumps of pickles. The youngest aunt Han was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks and stopped eating, “They’re eating meat at home, whereas we’re here eating lumps of bitter vegetables.”

The eldest sister-in-law sneered. Lin Lan was able to have meat because she earned it. It was ironic to her how this family only seemed to be jealous of the Third Family but ignored the fact that her reputation was getting better among the masses.

Now, everyone in the village was giving Teacher Lin a thumbs up!

Naturally, Lin Lan didn’t care about their family matters. When she ran home, she thought about what to cook to reward her whole family.

She was busy with work when Xiuyun’s mother came again.

Ever since Xiuyun joined Lin Lan on her publicity and health talks, the girl’s mother would come here every now and then to ask if there was anything she could do to help or even send food over for them.

It even irked Old Lady Han and the youngest aunt to no end, complaining that Lin Lan was sucking up to other people’s mothers without even treating her own mother-in-law right.

“My girl, I haven’t been busy these past couple of days, so I made you and Qingsong some shoes. Can you try them on and see if they fit?” She handed the cotton shoes in her hand to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan looked at the shoes. The soles were thick and the stitches were fine, so she really didn’t have the heart to accept them.

“Sister-in-law, you’ve already done so much. It’s a waste of energy to make these for us, so please, you don’t have to do them anymore.”
