Han Jinyu didn’t understand what the Princess Disease was, but she understood enough that Lin Lan was insulting her.
“Lin Lan, what do you mean by that?!” She glared.
Lin Lan, “Nothing more than its literal meaning. Alright, hurry up and leave instead of blocking my sight. I warn you, try not to come over and irritate my poor eye sockets when your siblings aren’t at home. I’ll have you know that I have no qualms about not seeing you.”
Eldest Aunt Han was still immersed in the role she had set for herself to intervene in her siblings’ family affairs and act as a mediator of their conflicts. After hearing Lin Lan say this, it took her a while to adjust her composure, “Sister-in-law, I have to say that you are wrong. You are Qingsong’s wife, and as such, you have to be filial to the elderly and take care of your husband’s siblings as well…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Lan poked around for her rolling pin and pulled it out, “Hurry up, I’m going to make dinner for the children.”
Eldest Aunt Han said casually, “That’s fine then, we’ll just eat here.”
Lin Lan glanced at her, “You’re really shameless, aren’t you?”
Han Jinyu, “What do you mean by that? If your side of the family is welcome to eat here, why can’t my brother’s family members be allowed to?”
Lin Lan became impatient, “Go and chase after Sun Yaowu quickly, your partner’s about to fly away.”
Han Jinyu said angrily, “You’re cursing me.”
She hadn’t made up her mind about Sun Yaowu at first, but because she was the Director’s younger sister, she had to be more picky with her potential partners. However, now that Lin Lan had stated that he was leaving, Han Jinyu was less than pleased. She should be the one being picky about her partners, so how could she accept that the tables were turned?
She grabbed the bag of sweets on the stove and ran away in a flash.
Eldest Aunt Han looked at the situation, feeling a little uncertain, “Sister-in-law, let me tell you…”
“Don’t tell me anything, you can go too. Your brother doesn’t have the final say when it comes to work related matters, so you can forget it. When it comes to the matters in this house, he’s also less influential than you think, let alone you trying to meddle in. So, hurry up and leave,” Lin Lan said and went outside to take out three ribs from the tank.
The family finished eating their portions early at the end of October, so these three pieces were from Lin Mei. In addition, Lin Lan and the others still went around the communes for publicity performances. She got four strips extra and hung them outside to freeze the meat. She planned to make sweet and sour pork ribs for her children during the new year.
Eldest Aunt Han and her son were drooling when they saw the big piece of ribs, inflating their desire to stay and eat. Also, Eldest Aunt Han was planning to have her son remain here until the new year.
Mangang, “Mother, I’m hungry.”
Eldest Aunt Han, “Have your aunt give you two eggs to eat first before we eat some ribs later,” She wandered around looking for the stash Lin Lan placed her eggs in, wanting to make some half-boiled ones for her son.
