CH 275

While she was suffering, she saw a tall figure walking towards her and stopping in front of her.

She recognized Han Qingsong at a glance.

“Why are you here?”

Han Qingsong picked up the strands of the corn leaves that fell on her head, “The Public Security Bureau is fine, I had everyone go back to tend to the autumn harvest. I’ll work for you instead, so just go home and start cooking.”

Lin Lan was a little embarrassed. Even the students were led by their teachers to work, how could she be lazy?

Han Qingsong took her basket away without a word. Then, he grabbed her shoulders with big hands and squeezed neither lightly nor severely. Afterwards, he pushed her into the driveway, “Go back. The children want to eat some boiled corn at noon.”

When it came to some tender and yet-to-mature corn, the production team harvested a lot of them daily. Then, they distributed them to the women, who took them home to cook and eat.

Lin Lan couldn’t believe it— could she really escape physical labor? “Then, can I really go back?”

Han Qingsong showed her a smile, “Could it be fake?”

Lin Lan jumped up and down, “Oh, a holiday for me then.”

She walked out happily.

As soon as she left, Han Qingsong returned to his former sternness. His face was expressionless and he worked his hands neatly

Some women nearby heard the conversation as some were envious and others were jealous. All the men in the village merely watched their wives work tirelessly, how could anyone have their own wife go back to rest?

If a woman didn’t earn work points and work, why would they need to eat?

The key point was that apart from looking for wives to sleep with at night, men rarely stuck with their wives during the day. After all, they were determined to not be a laughingstock in public.

So they watched Han Qingsong and Lin Lan muttering. It was especially when Han Qingsong gently tidied up the fringes on Lin Lan’s head and her cheerful voice that triggered the women in a bad way.

“They’re been husband and wife for so long, so why are they acting like a newlywed couple? I’m jealous!”

“I know right? They’re acting like those educated youths, how nauseous!”

Lin Lan didn’t care what others say as she only cared about her own comfort. She was going to go home and make some good food!

Before she could reach the main road, she was stopped by the youngest aunt of the Han family.

The youngest aunt Han didn’t attend school since a while back in order to avoid the limelight. She wanted to go a few days ago, but it was already the autumn vacation, so she had to go home.

The school had already ordered Han Qinghua to drop out and was also planning to have Han Jinyu drop out from school. She should have graduated already anyway, so there was no need for her to stay in school all the time.

And now, there were no conditions at home for her to waste precious time and money on her schooling, so her studies were basically in vain since she was going home to farm the field.

Breaking the corn from the husks, she was less happy than Lin Lan and couldn’t stand it. Even if she wrapped her face and wore long sleeves, her neck and hands were still cut. She was scratched all over her body as if there were insects crawling all around her.

When has Han Jinyu ever suffered like this?

She had never worked ever since she was a child.

She was now forced to work every single day. As long as she didn’t want to, her second sister-in-law would have a problem with it to the point where she wouldn’t cook the family’s meals. Hence, Old Man Han had her go to work.
