Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 148

Lin Lan glanced at her, “I guess there’s not much money in it, but either way, it’s all sent by my children’s father,” She tossed the large stack of remittance slips, “See, these are all provided by my children’s father.”

According to what she knew about the old lady, that woman would definitely hide most of the money when the family split. She would put one or two hundred in the money box so that she could at most lose 100 Yuan should she be forced to split it.

Upon looking at Han Jinyu, who was wearing new leather shoes and new clothes, she guessed that there would be no more than 100 Yuan in it now.

Lin Lan pretended that the money in the box would just be the elder couple’s reimbursement money, so technically, she carried out her filial duties as the younger generation.

The rest however, she would gladly take with a smile!

When Han Qingsong sent the money back, Old Lady Han only said nicely, “Mother will save it for you and I will give it to you when you get married,” But when he got married, she then said, “Mother will save it for you and give it to you in the future,” To put it bluntly, she just didn’t ever want to hand the money over.

She sneered and put the stack of remittance slips in the basket before she carried the eggs and quilt away together. When she walked to the door, she wanted to pick up the basket, but she didn’t have enough hands.

At this time, a child emerged from the darkness, “Mother! Are you alright?”

It was Erwang.

Lin Lan hurriedly said, “I’m fine, just put the basket on your shoulders and let’s hurry home.”

Erwang touched the three chickens in the basket and exclaimed, “Mother?”

Lin Lan smiled and said cheerfully, “It’s okay, we’ll have eggs to eat later.”

They are the ones who would not be okay!

When they got home, she asked Erwang to put the chickens in the chicken coop. Old Lady Han had cut off their wings long ago, so the chickens couldn’t fly.

She brought the eggs into the house and asked Maisui to start the fire.

Mai Sui was stunned when she saw so many eggs, “Mother?”

“Start a fire and I’ll make us some poached eggs,” Only when the food was in their stomachs would things truly be considered theirs.

There were five people altogether, so Lin Lan placed ten eggs inside the pot. Then, she placed the rest in a small urn for pickling.

Ten eggs were bigger than the amount of eggs that grandmother gave to the youngest aunt and uncle.

Maisui was speechless.

Lin Lan said, “My daughter, don’t worry, mother will treat you all better than your grandmother treats your youngest aunt and uncle. In the future, we will work hard to make money and live a good life as a family.”

Maisui burst into tears, “Mother-“

Poached eggs were mainly dependent on boiling water, so it took no more than a mere few minutes. Lin Lan asked Sanwang and Xiaowang to get up and eat the eggs. After they were full, they could finally rest peacefully.

Since there were only two eggs per person, coupled with children’s already fast digestive rate, it shouldn’t be hard for the food to be digested easily.

While the children ate their eggs, Lin Lan told them to close the door shut as she was going to go to the Secretary Head’s place to make some reasonable demands.

Erwang was holding a stick, and at this moment it seemed as if Sanwang had possessed him, “Mother, let me accompany you.”

Lin Lan patted his head, “No need, you can just stay here and take good care of your elder sister and younger brothers.”

She told the children that they should not be afraid. All they had to do was sleep at home while she went to Han Yongfang’s house with the remittance slip.
