How could there be a man who would wash the dishes for his wife? Most wouldn’t even pick up a fallen broom.

Looking at it this way, Han Qingsong was quite a rare find. He brought home a bunch of accomplishments from his time as a soldier, earned a solid amount to build a house after changing careers, knows how to sew and do the household chores— he was just good at everything.

Feeling that he was being stared at, Han Qingsong glanced at her.

Lin Lan immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks that were washed and wiped them dry one by one with a clean cloth, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Han Qingsong, “…it’s nothing if it’s to serve you.”

Lin Lan saw that there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, so he should be in a better mood.

While Han Qingsong was washing the pot, Lin Lan went out to close the front gate. She vaguely heard noises coming from the northeast, so she quietly went to check it out. Goodness, it looked like someone had come from Old Man Han’s house. Should she inform Han Qingsong?

On second thought, she decided to pretend not to know so as not to get herself involved.

She was going to re-enter the house, but before she could move forward, she heard Han Jinyu’s voice.

She only went out for a few minutes to close the door and this girl came right on time!

Now that I can no longer fight with you back home, you decide to run up to my place to stir trouble instead?

Han Jinyu cried bitterly and said, “Third brother, I can’t live there any longer. Second Brother and Second sister-in-law are too mean. They ate all the meat you gave and I didn’t even have a bite of it. Boohoo, I don’t want to go back to live there. The night is full of snores and I can’t sleep at all. There are also mice climbing up the kang, scaring me to death. Boohoo, Third Brother, let me sleep over at your place.”

Just as Lin Lan wanted to go over to tease her about her troubles, she stopped in her tracks.

She heard Han Qingsong’s voice echo coldly, “Our family has been separated, so your sister-in-law has the final say.”

“Third Brother, why are you like this? What kind of ecstasy soup did she give you? We are a family, but her surname is Lin, so she is an outsider,” Han Jinyu was obviously a little confused.

“She is my wife, the mother of my children and the head of the family. Since the family is separated, any siblings of mine who come over are guests,” Han Qingsong said in a serious manner, as if he was endorsing a letter.

Han Jinyu couldn’t believe that he was capable of saying such emotionless words, “Y-you, why are you like this? You don’t want our parents anymore? Dad is the head of the family!”

“You made a mistake. In the main house, our father is the head of the family, but my wife is the head of my family. You and I both know that there can only be one head in a family, so if you want to come and live here, ask your sister-in-law. Should she agree, I will have no objection.”

He seldom said such things as it seemed a bit difficult for him, but this time, he was firm. He spoke very formally, appearing to be serious and grave.

“Then if our parents want to live here? You won’t let them either?” Han Jinyu angrily insisted on knowing the answer to every single question. She didn’t believe that her brother was not going to carry out his filial duties as a child to their parents.

“If all our families are separated, we will take turns taking care of the elders, so of course there is no objection. Your sister-in-law is a sensible person.”
