Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 692
Han Jinyu, “!!! Third Brother, why won’t you coax me?”
Han Qingsong, “I never lie,” The little patience he possessed that was meant to coax others was spent thinking about how to coax his wife, so he couldn’t care less about anyone else.
Han Jinyu was so angry that she couldn’t say anything else, so she sat down on the stool in front of the square table.
Old Lady Han was still mumbling, “Why do you have such a lazy wife? She is so lazy,” The most irritating son of hers was not listening to her at all and insisted on spoiling this lazy woman, who was nothing but a shrew!
Lin Lan, who was in the room, waved her fists, huh, you said I’m lazy and greedy, but am I as bad as your daughter? Your own life is a mess and you’re coming to tell me off? What galls you have! If it weren’t for your son’s sake, I would kick you to Nanniwan(1)!
(T/N: Though it’s the title of a revolutionary song for the Chinese Communist Party back in the mid 20th century, it is also a gorge in the Shaanxi province that played an important role in the war back then)
Han Qingsong asked the old lady to sit down again and poured her some water.
Old Lady Han sat and began to wipe her tears as she and her daughter had been suffering recently. After the family was divided, Eldest Sister-in-law Han took Gumi and left while Second Sister-in-law Han took Gaoliang and the others, busying themselves with only their family affairs. As a result, no one in her family could take on the remaining responsibilities besides the two of them. She didn’t want to let her daughter suffer, so she had to do it by herself. After so many months of continued labour, she was so tired that her back and legs ache every day.
Han Qingsong could see it all but chose not to comment, so he said, “Mother, sit down while I prepare a meal.”
Old Lady Han couldn’t bear it anymore, “Old Three, why are you so cowardly?”

Han Qingsong frowned, but since it was his mother who said so, there was nothing for him to be ashamed about.
Lin Lan got dressed in the room, reading a book and listening to the excitement happening outside. What were these two people doing here? Did they just come over to see if she was sleeping in?
After a moment, Old Lady Han resigned herself to her fate and realised that it was useless to speak ill of her daughter-in-law to her son. He wouldn’t listen, so she had no choice but to say angrily, “You don’t have to worry about what I’m thinking about— as long as it’s all for your own good.”
Han Jinyu wanted to go to the east room and look around to see what good items Maisui had lying around. Lin Lan was more generous to her daughter than to her sons. She always made good clothes and shoes for Maisui and it was especially infuriating because the girl designed rather decent outfits. Han Jinyu had been jealous for a long time and wanted to take advantage of her mother’s presence to search for some stuff.
Han Qingsong, “Don’t make a mess.”
Han Jinyu said aggrievedly, “I’m at my Third Brother’s house, how can I be considered making a mess?”
Han Qingsong, “Besides me, there are also your sister-in-law, nephews and niece in this family. Their things are not mine.”
Han Jinyu, “…” Why are you such a coward?! Your wife is controlling everything.
