Chapter 261
Shorty and Skinny’s family didn’t intervene much as they merely came to send off their children. Upon seeing that the kids were not beaten up and were given ample food, the family members let out a sigh of relief. Inevitably, they were slapped and scolded a few times, “I kept telling you not to mingle with that second-rate idiot, but you just didn’t want to listen. Now look at you; you were involved in this. It’s good that you’re going to struggle and suffer— that way at least you know how painful the consequences are.”
A labour farm was not a prison. In fact, it was just a farm where people were monitored while working. Once could also take leave, do other things after work and family members could apply for visits and deliver things. As long as the convicted worked and earned their work points, they could eat well.
So the two families’ parents were not worried.
It was only Liu Chunhe’s mother and the Han family’s old lady who couldn’t accept it. After work in the afternoon, they still wanted to go to the Commune to make a scene, but as soon as they left the village, they were blocked by the village militiamen led by the Security Director.

Yu Wuzi and Old Lady Han had always looked down on each other for their entire lives, but now that they were both old and faced with the same problem, they formed an alliance. Sympathising and supporting each other, they shed a river of tears.
But to put it bluntly, they had the same family— when it came to scolding their daughters-in-law and granddaughters, they ranked first in the village.
Without saying anything else, Han Yongfang roared angrily, “Whoever tries to embarrass me and wants to go to the Commune to ruin the reputation of our Brigade, arrest them directly! Then we will hold a meeting at night to review the issue with the entire village!”
The Security Director listened to him and ordered Yu Wuzi and the old lady to be locked up.
It was the men from the two families who hurried forward to apologise, saying good things about the guards before taking the two women back home.
At this moment, it seemed like the disturbance this time was orchestrated through a collaborative effort by the old lady and Yu Wuzi.
Lin Lan knew that Old Lady Han wanted to wait for Han Qingsong to come back to put pressure on him. As long as Han Qingsong didn’t let his brother back, the old lady would have to use some instigated scenes on him to force him to do so.
She lifted her foot and walked in.
Old Lady Han asked Han Jinyu to accompany her at home to discuss for a long time in the afternoon, thinking about how to force Han Qingsong to change his decision.

“Would you like my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law to come back?”
Old Lady Han covered her heart and kept yelling, “What’s the use of your eldest brother-in-law?”
Han Jinyu said bitterly, “Mother, why don’t we go to Old Lin’s house to make trouble? We can have them take their daughter back!”
The old lady waved her hand, “No, look at your third brother— once he has a wife, he has forgotten about his mother.”
The old lady endured until the old man, her sons and daughters-in-law all came back from work before she began to sit in the main room and perform to the fullest.
The purpose was naturally to get everyone in the family to find Old Three, forcing him to return the fourth child.
