Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 537

Chapter 537

Old Lady Han wanted her son to know that she wasn’t the one who didn’t let Lin Lan in. Instead, it was Lin Lan who was getting close to outsiders and not her mother-in-law.

Han Jinyu also came over, “That’s right, you’re not close to your family and yet, you always go to Xiuyun and those other people. They are not really trying to be friendly with you since they’re just keeping an eye out for Third Brother to bring some good things home. Then, they’d wait for a good time to take it from you.”

Han Qingsong turned his head and wanted to say something, but Lin Lan gave him a wink, indicating for him not to worry, so he stopped talking.

When the children heard the old lady say this about their mother, those who were chatting stopped talking and stood beside Lin Lan one after another.

Sanwang lowered his head for a look before he raised his feet all of a sudden and exaggerated, “Look, the shoes that Sister Xiuyun made for me are pretty. My entire family’s shoes were made by Sister Xiuyun and her mother. They’re all so pretty and warm.”

When he said this, the children immediately thought of Dawang as the leader. Maisui, Erwang, Sanwang and Xiaowang all raised their right feet, showing their dainty shoes for everyone to see.

The boys had theirs made of black corduroy whereas Maisui’s were green. The older children had thinner shoes but Maisui and Xiaowang’s were thicker to make sure they were kept warm.

“Brother, lift your feet up. Grandmother’s eyesight is bad, so she can’t see it. Their lights are not as bright as ours,” Sanwang called out to his Eldest Brother and even hugged Dawang’s legs, “Look!”

Dawang, “…”

Old Lady Han’s nose was practically fuming. She knew that he was showing off to her while also complaining that she never made shoes for them.

However, Han Jinyu also looked at the shoes on Lin Lan’s feet with jealousy. She didn’t have any new cotton shoes to wear either.

Gaoliang, Gumi and all the other children came to see the shoes and they all expressed their envy. They were really beautiful.

Especially Xiaofu, who argues with his mother, Second Sister-in-law Han, that he didn’t have cotton shoes and didn’t want to wear cattail socks.

Second Sister-in-Law Han felt ashamed, thinking that Lin Lan came back with the children to show off. Hence, she scolded Gumi, Gaoliang and the other girls because she didn’t want to correct her son, “Girls, be careful, don’t imitate those unruly women at such a young age.”

She didn’t dare to directly insult Xiuyun as a broken shoe.

.

Eldest Sister-in-law Han glanced at her with a half-smile, “Second Sister-in-law, you are too wary. Children should be happy when they wear new clothes. At my age, if I wear new clothes, I would want to show off. It’s a pity that I haven’t gotten a new scarf around my neck after all these years.

She told Lin Lan, “It’s so beautiful. “

Lin Lan touched it, but didn’t say much.

Han Jinyu’s eyeballs were about to pop out because she knew it was cashmere at a glance. She said with a pursed mouth, “Third Brother is so biassed— he didn’t even say that he would buy a cashmere scarf for my mother and me.”

Maisui immediately snapped back, “My Third Aunt wove this.”

Han Jinyu’s face changed with anger.

Eldest Brother Han’s son Haotian walked in from the outside. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, he smiled and said, “Why are you all standing outside and not entering the room? It’s so cold.”
