If the people wanted to play games, they could choose something that wouldn’t require betting.

Even poker was technically fine as long as there was no money involved; otherwise, it was chalked up as gambling.

Now that she was the organiser of the commune’s publicity team, there were even fewer people playing poker or gambling in the village. Hence, she didn’t expect Dawang to be involved.

Where did this kid learn it from?

Well, he probably learned it from Han Qinghua previously.

Lin Lan suddenly remembered what was said in the original plot. From the very beginning, Dawang was a follower of Han Qinghua. After meeting Zhao Jianshe and other troublemakers, he later became a local tyrant who ate gluttonously, drank liquor all day and flocked around.

Could it be that she hadn’t managed to change the plot and Dawang was still walking on that road?

Immediately, her heart felt a little heavy. Her facial expressions became dignified but her eyebrows were arched sorrowfully.

Sanwang rarely saw a face like this on his mother and his heart twitched suddenly, “Mother, I-I admit. Eldest Brother went to play poker a-and…gambled money…”

Lin Lan gritted her teeth, but still tried her best to maintain a smile.

Sanwang was so frightened that he trembled, “Mother…don’t be angry, alright? Eldest Brother, h-he didn’t lose money.”

Was it a matter of winning or losing?!!

Lin Lan quickly adjusted her mood. Seeing Sanwang’s frightened look, she immediately smiled and patted his head, “Little Third Brother, you have merit for confessing. Mother will give you credit and will divide the pork equally for you. When it’s time to eat, I’ll give you your eldest brother’s portion!”

Sanwang was not happy as he had a bitter expression on his face. Dear God, his mother was going to be the death of him.

Aiya, why hasn’t the Eldest Brother come back yet?

Seeing Lin Lan go out, Sanwang felt that his mother’s back had a murderous aura, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, wool socks and slipped out.

Maisui called him, “Sanwang, where are you going?”

Sanwang bowed to her, “Sister, my dear sister, please help me.”

Maisui waved her hand, “It’s not like I can put up a fight with Eldest Brother. I think it’ll be better if you plead with our father.”

Sanwang ran away in a hurry. Seeing Lin Lan standing at the door waiting for his Eldest Brother, he sneaked past behind the haystack before rushing to find Dawang.

Dawang and Erwang were currently running with Han Qingsong.

Although Han Qingsong switched his career, he never missed his daily fitness practice.

Han Qingyun sometimes came over when Han Qingsong ran with his sons. Zhuzi and the other children ran with them at times as well, but they usually fell behind after running for a while.

It was an October day, but Han Qingsong wore a military uniform vest and merely covered himself with another military jacket. He was already tall and straight, but when he donned a pair of broad shoulders and narrow waist, it provoked many outsiders to take a glance at him if they didn’t have anything better to do.

Naturally, Dawang and Erwang didn’t wear their padded coats either and merely had some thicker cotton jackets on.

Dawang was fine, but Erwang was shivering from the cold. Though, he felt significantly warmer upon running.

Sanwang shuttled behind the haystacks on the side of the road. When he saw Dawang approaching, he began to hiss, signalling to his Eldest Brother.

When Dawang saw that he was about to stop, Han Qingsong shouted, “Keep running!”
