Lin Lan’s plan was to merely scare away the possible vast number of thieves who were behind the first few victims, lest they could tell that there was no trace of a man inside the house.
Hence, even if Han Qingsong didn’t manage to return in time, she wasn’t afraid at all.
As long as the thieves knew not to cross the boundaries of murder, it was easy enough to get the attention of the other villagers by yelling. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be much risk of dangers as well.
Dawang didn’t say anything after that since he instantly plopped himself onto the kang and fell asleep. Maisui, Erwang and Xiaowang were initially happy as well, but once they lay down on the kang, they fell asleep soon after.

Thinking that the courtyard wall still needed to be reinforced and raised, he thought that it would be better to replace it with masonry. Then, thinking that living here was still a bit remote and slightly unsafe, he also thought about training Dawang and Erwang. He wanted to make them a little manlier so that the entire family would have nothing to fear even if a few puny thieves like these were going to show up at their door.
A bunch of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but nothing could be seen on the surface.
When he came back from washing his feet, the screams that persisted from the outside had gotten a little quieter.
Lin Lan laid a quilt next to Erwang for him.
Han Qingsong, “…”
Seeing that the children were all covered with sheets and not quilts, he could not help but frown slightly, “Are there no quilts at home?”
Lin Lan was immediately embarrassed to be asked such a question. Quickly, she said, “Yes, I bought a lot of cloth and cotton, so I was about to sew them.”
It’s just that… I hadn’t sewed them up yet. Damn, now that I think about it, it’s freaking embarrassing.
Han Qingsong stood in front of the kang and saw that Lin Lan’s cheeks were flushed. He then became a bit puzzled at why she was blushing, but then he realised that she actually looked relatively nice in that shade of red, so he continued to stare at her for a moment.
Lin Lan hurriedly laid down in her place, “Go to sleep.”
Who would have thought that Han Qingsong would walk up to her and cause Lin Lan’s heartbeat to flutter? She grasped onto the sheets fiercely, thoughts spinning in her head about what could possibly happen.
Han Qingsong took out a tarpaulin bag from his pocket and placed it beside her pillow, “You can keep this as the career transferring fee, I’ll sort the rest out tomorrow.”

She hesitated for a moment, but still, she asked, “Not giving these to the old lady?”
Han Qingsong, “You are in charge of this house, so you have the final say.”
Lin Lan felt rather touched in her heart, “You walked for the entire night; just hurry up and go to sleep.”
Han Qingsong nodded and stood for a while before going to rest.
Lin Lan hurriedly opened the tarpaulin bag and glanced at it. Dear gods, there were stacks of newly-printed money; and with such a huge amount, there should be about a thousand Yuan!
She earned big time this time!
After thinking about it, she placed the bag beneath the kang’s mat temporarily. She would get back to this tomorrow to see where she could hide this treasure of hers.
Now that everything was said and done, her heart was relaxed. In addition, she was rather nervous during this time, causing her to feel really tired. She laid down and fell asleep quickly.
