NovelEnglishChapter 505
Lin Lan looked at his retreating figure and sighed, thinking that father and son were really behaving alike. Han Qingsong said that he would go to his Eldest Sister’s house to get food for Mangang, but there was no way that he really went, did he?
Well, then again, Sanwang didn’t mention his Eldest Aunt at all, so she was probably with Han Qingsong right now.
After a while, Gumi ran over as she cried and shouted, “Third Aunt-in-law, please go and help my mother. My grandmother keeps insisting and forcing my father to hit her.”

Lin Lan was taken aback. Eldest Sister-in-law Han was always working hard at home. Although she was dissatisfied with Old Lady Han, she never contradicted her means in person. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was the prime daughter-in-law one could have, so what sort of ghoul decided to possess the old lady for insisting to punish her?
Lin Lan asked Maisui to watch the fire and Xiaowang before she led Erwang over to have a look.
When they arrived at Old Man Han’s house, Sanwang and Dawang weren’t there, but the fight had stopped with only Old Lady Han’s shrilling voice filling the house as she cursed and yelled. On the other hand, there were also Han Jinyu’s cries and complaints sounding occasionally whereas Eldest Sister-in-law’s voice was nowhere to be heard.
Lin Lan stood at the door and didn’t want to go in, “Gumi, don’t worry, your father would not beat your mother.”
Gumi couldn’t hear anything and breathed a sigh of relief, but she said distressingly, “Third Aunt-in-law, since the family separation, you are living well and comfortably, but that made my mother’s life miserable.”
Lin Lan was taken aback.

Erwang was dissatisfied with that comment and said, “Sister, what are you talking about? Why is it my mother’s fault?”
Lin Lan signalled for him not to worry. She knew better than to blindly take a child’s words to heart.
Gumi was a simple little girl, so she didn’t think there was anything wrong with this statement. After all, before the family was separated, Lin Lan was always the one who made a ruckus and she was the target of Old Lady Han’s scoldings and rants. Her mother merely cooked and worked every day, so she was never yelled at. But now that the family was separated, Gumi’s Third Aunt-in-law’s family lived comfortably, ate delicious food and didn’t have to be scolded. For some reason, since then, her mother had been at the receiving end of her grandmother’s lectures no matter what she did.
Gumi heard all the grown-ups around her saying things like this, so she naturally picked it up and didn’t think that there was anything wrong with it.
Lin Lan asked, “What’s going on today?”
Gumi whispered, “The Youngest Aunt came back and yelled very badly at you for driving Officer Sun away. My mother said that it had nothing to do with you as it was Director Sun who looked down on our family. With that, my Youngest Aunt went crazy and insisted that the poor background of this family was wearing her down. She complained that she had to work on the farms, was nothing but a girl from a rural household and the family was so useless since no one could even arrange a job for her in the County. My mother was very angered at her outburst, so she lectured her shortly before the Youngest Aunt couldn’t deal with it anymore and started to fight. My grandmother then intervened, wanting to beat up my mother…”
