Chapter 494
“Sister-in-law, don’t get too worked up; come, sit down and chat. We are all a family, so don’t be shy. You see, you’re acting all strong right now, but we were just worried about your well-being because you were always thinking negatively about life back then. If it weren’t for your insistence on Qingsong returning, he wouldn’t have become a high-ranking official here. But since he had, shouldn’t I get some form of recognition as his elder sister? Isn’t it easy for him to merely work in the office? I’ll say, you should be satisfied by now— my brother has already earned so much money and your days are…”
She turned her head to look around. With such a tall house and such a magnificent array of decorations, what else was there for her to want?
She continued with jealousy, “…Your days are filled with goodness, so don’t keep going back and forth with us like this. If your man works hard as a cadre, then you should be a good housewife. You should keep the place neat inside and out, serve your in-laws well, take care of your sibling-in-laws and entertain your relatives well…”

Lin Lan was so angry that she laughed. She was too lazy to listen to her boring lectures, so she turned her head and glared at Han Jinyu, “I think I have been kind recently, have you forgotten how amazing I am?”
As she said that, she turned her eyes and looked at the axe and the machete that her family put on the north tank, wondering which one was suitable for the current situation.
Han Jinyu was so frightened that she shouted immediately, “Don’t do anything crazy, we can just talk this out.”
Eldest Aunt Han didn’t know what was going on in the slightest. She kept talking to Lin Lan about the principles of being older than her and told Lin Lan to respect her parents-in-law and befriend their relatives. However, she soon saw Lin Lan holding a rolling pin in her hand and looking at her with a cold sneer.
Eldest Aunt Han couldn’t help but mutter, “You- what are you doing?”
Although Lin Lan scolded her for showing off along with the old lady last time, she didn’t end up making a physical move.
Eldest Aunt Han also possessed an interesting talent— that is, she had a great sense of forgetfulness. The good things to her were quickly forgotten, but so were the bad. After suffering from the consequences of her mistakes and letting out cries at the moment, she would revert to her old habits once given the time.

Last time, she walked away in despair after being scolded off by Lin Lan. When she got home, she wasn’t satisfied. In fact, she was planning to gather her resources and rebuild her mother’s courage to fight against Lin Lan.
But in the end, Han Qingsong supported his wife and Old Four was apprehended.
Eldest Aunt Han wanted to return home, but she was scolded by her mother-in-law, who said that she would be driven back to her mother’s house if she had the time to meddle in others’ affairs.
