Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 81



Chapter 81

Not expecting Old Three to not care about his parent’s reputations after? marrying a wife, the old lady slapped her legs and scolded, “What’s the use of raising a son? They all say raising a child can give you a companion; well, I think it’s going to give me a quick death! A white-eyed wolf(3) who has a wife just forgets his mother; he couldn’t even spare me the pot…”

(T/N: Mentioned this before, but this refers to someone who doesn’t remember favours and is ungrateful)

“Alright already! Are you done?!” Old Man Han drooped his face and said in a loud voice, “If you don’t want your daughter-in-law to be talking shit like this about you in front of your grandchildren all the damn time, then I suggest you stop!” After he said that, he went to the main room angrily to smoke.

Since Old Man Han’s mother died, he hadn’t said anything serious to her and she had the final say in everything that occurred at home. Now that the old man suddenly became stubborn, the old woman shrank back and flinched, but she in turn, felt like she was wronged.

Eldest sister-in-law was very embarrassed as she was busy trying to persuade her parents not to be angry.

Second brother Han and his wife scolded Lin Lan, “There is never a peaceful moment with this woman from the Third family. She so desperately wanted Old Three to return and now that he’s back, she annoys him to the point where our family is split. If this goes on, there’s going to be a riot occurring here.”

“I know right? Look at her— she even snatched back the pot from our house. It seems like she resents mother for changing our pots, then.”

“And that Dawang, the little white-eyed wolf, mother treated him well for nothing!”

The eldest brother Han said, “That’s enough.”

It was too much for them to make two completely different meals, after all.

He knew that his father liked to maintain a good image, so he said, “After we finish eating, I’ll go over to Old Three’s place and ask them not to misunderstand. Parents treat their children all the same and we are all a family, so why would we make two meals?”

The second sister-in-law hummed, “Eldest brother, you’re going to be the good guy while we be the bad guys? She was the one in the wrong— she practically asked for trouble herself.”

The old man raised his voice from the room, “Who came up with such an idiotic idea for the whole family to cook two kinds of meals, huh? Who was the one who wanted to bite off more than they could chew?”

Both sister-in-laws remained silent. Obviously, this was ordered by Old Lady Han.

The old lady also realised that the old man was blaming her, so she slapped her thighs in dissatisfaction, “Second family, this is all your fault! If you hadn’t come up with this cowardly idea…”

“Mother-” The second sister-in-law of the Han family was extremely aggrieved; how could she put the blame on her? Wasn’t it because Old Lady Han wasn’t happy seeing the Third family enjoying a good life and grumbled? She simply supported the old lady and made a similar comment.

So why did she blame her?

“It’s you, alright! I’m a mother and a grandmother; how could I possibly treat my children harshly? It was you, the second aunt, who suggested such a stupid idea! Forget it, stop fussing. There’s still some steamed cornbread at home; let’s have the Second family finish those.”

The second sister-in-law snorted towards the heavens and rushed back to the east wing to cry.

……………………

Lin Lan led Xiaowang home quickly. Though she was a little worn out with how fast they were going, she was happy once they got home.

“Mother, let’s cook by ourselves!” The children cheered happily.

“Where’s your eldest brother?” Lin Lan looked around but she didn’t see Dawang.
