The grains could be stood in bundles against the wall at home and taken out for threshing when used.
The eldest brother and the second brother transported their own portions home, and when they were almost done, the eldest brother came over to help Lin Lan.
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Eldest brother, you can just settle your stuff. I have the children here to help me.”
In turn, the eldest brother of the Han family didn’t say much. He just let the children tie up the bags and took a few of them himself to carry back to her house.
The small courtyard was not big, but because there was no other wing in the courtyard, it was more spacious than ordinary houses.
After that, the eldest brother said goodbye to her.
Lin Lan quickly grabbed two handfuls of red dates and asked him to take them back to his wife and children.
The eldest brother couldn’t refuse the offer, so he bundled up the dates with the ends of his shirt and carried them home. He was about to reach the entrance when he bumped into the youngest aunt.
When the youngest aunt saw the red dates, her eyes lit up, “Eldest brother, where did you get the red dates?” She immediately gathered all of them over.
The eldest brother originally wanted to keep a few for the children, but another set of words came out of his mouth, “Don’t eat them all, save a few for our mother.”
“Look at you, eldest brother, how could I not give it to our mother? She always keeps the good things for me, so if I eat it, it would mean that she ate it too. Let me tell you, I have been working so hard these past few days, so I need some replenishment,” The youngest aunt of the Han family pouted and acted coquettishly.
It just so happened that the eldest brother’s daughter, Gumi, came out to cook and witnessed the scene. She couldn’t help but flatten her mouth, wanting to eat the red dates.
The youngest aunt threw her a deflated red date, “Okay fine, don’t be greedy, go and cook.”
Gumi had to tell her mother again.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Han family didn’t say anything, but she was very dissatisfied in her heart. It was easy for the Third Family to split up, but she was in dire straits here. It seemed that she still had to find a way to split up her family as well.
The youngest aunt proudly took the red dates into the small, side house, which was her own room. She put away the red dates and planned to eat them later.
She didn’t want to sweat while cooking, so she declared that she was going to go out to pick the weeds. That sort of task was usually done by children, but everyone was more than aware that she merely wanted to laze around.
As a result, when she returned to the side house, she realised that her red dates were missing. In a flash, she came out and yelled, “Who stole my red dates?!”
Naturally, no one was willing to admit it.
Seeing that Xiaofu and Gaoliang from the Second Family had been chewing their mouths,she knew that they were clearly eating red dates. Hence, she got angry and yelled at the children, asking them to open their mouths to check.
Therefore, several children had red jujube peels stuck between their teeth. THe youngest aunt was so angry that she raised her hand to hit the children.
Xiaofu and Gaoliang were already beaten, but when she was about to hit Gumi, she was stopped by the eldest sister-in-law.
“I’ll say, youngest aunt, I think that’s enough.”
“Eldest sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? The youngest aunt stomped her foot, “Are you trying to bully me as well?”
