The eldest brother of the Han family replied, “They weren’t, thankfully. Dawang was rather capable as well; two thieves were beaten to a pulp by that child.”
Old Lady Han snorted and commented, “Family thieves(2) are indeed hard to ward against!”
(T/N: Thieves who rob their own family members.)
Wasn’t my money also stolen by the shrew, that stupid family thief?
No one got hurt anyways, what’s all this fuss about? How hypocritical.
No matter what happened to the thieves, she just urged everyone to get Old Three.
As the fourth child was arrested, the old man still had a lump in his heart. He heard that the Old Three was coming, so he carried his hoe and went to work in the private plot.
Old Lady Han shouted for a while but no one went to find the third brother. In the end, the youngest aunt declared, “If you don’t go, I will go.”
As a result, she ran into Han Qingsong at the entrance of the alley as she immediately lowered her face and said, “Third brother, why didn’t you come to see your parents first?”
Han Qingsong said, “I came back in the middle of the night last night. It wouldn’t be good to wake them up.”
“Then you should have come early this morning.”
“I sent a few thieves to the Brigade first in the morning. After that, I immediately went to the commune,” Han Qingsong said as he entered the courtyard.
The children were so happy when they saw him approaching. Han Qingsong took out the candy that Lin Lan had put in his pocket when he went out and gave them all to Gu Mi. He asked her to share them and then greeted his family members as he went inside the house.
The youngest aunt became anxious when she saw that she didn’t have her share, so she stomped her feet,”Third brother!”
Gu Mi immediately gave her a piece, “Youngest aunt, I’ll give you a piece.”
The youngest aunt was so angry that she slapped it away and ran out in a fit of anger.
The second sister-in-law pouted, “I can’t believe her— She’s eating free food at home all day and she still demands to be treated like a princess?”
In the past, the youngest aunt was favoured, but she was not at home. There was also a possibility that she might marry in the city and be a wife of a rich man. Because of that, the second sister-in-law always wanted to curry favour from the Han’s family to secure her own future. But now that the youngest aunt was at home, they see each other all the time and the second sister-in-law could also tell how blatantly the girl was favoured. Naturally, there was a lot of friction between them.
With the youngest aunt as the standard, the second sister-in-law now felt that everyone was not bad. Her relationship with the eldest sister-in-law had also improved quite a bit.
Han Qingsong entered the house and greeted the old lady.
Old Lady Han originally thought that she would start crying as soon as her son came in. She wanted to tell him about Lin Lan and Dawang, also wanting him to rush and bring the fourth child back, but she was immediately unhappy when she saw that he didn’t bring something for her. He came empty-handed as before. Old Lady Han didn’t even want her son to change his career, but he was in a rush to complete the procedures and didn’t have time to get many things. However, in her mind, she only thought that he most definitely gave all the good things to Lin Lan and no longer wanted to give his parents any gifts.
“Old Three, have you changed jobs?” Old Lady Han was thinking about the transfer fee.
Han Qingsong nodded, “I changed it. I’ll go back to our commune to find a job.”
