The next day, when Han Qingsong went to the Commune, Lin Lan was writing a new script at home in the morning. She sorted out all the interesting things she heard from the Commune members to make sure that she could draw inspiration from them one day.
Tired, she went to get a bowl of brown sugar and ginger soup to drink.
While drinking soup, she heard someone rushing in from outside, cursing.
“Lin Lan, Lin Lan, you are so bad!” Second Aunt Han rushed in, scolding her shamelessly.
Lin Lan frowned, placed the bowl on the table lightly and picked up the fire stick by the door before going out, “Second sister-in-law, even if you came to talk properly, I wouldn’t welcome you. And yet, as you barge into my house while cursing at me, do you perhaps have an urge to be beaten instead of living your life peacefully?”
The Second Sister-in-law saw that Lin Lan was not only not trembling against her threats, but she was even domineering. In return, it was her who immediately became weak as she began to pat her legs and cry, “Say, were you sincerely intent on making my Xiaofu suffer? He wretched and had diarrhea all night to the point where he’s practically about to die.”
Lin Lan pondered, “I sympathise with Xiaofu’s illness, but to blame it on me? Do you want to form a trio with the urine pot sisters?”
The Second Sister-in-law of Han knew that Lin Lan scolded Zhao Guixiang and her sister as urine pots as her face suddenly changed with anger, “How can someone say that to their second sister-in-law?”
“Then tell me, how should I scold you?”
The Second Sister-in-law started crying again.
Lin Lan said annoyedly, “Okay, if you have something to say, hurry up and spit it out.”
The Second Sister-in-law cried and said, “It’s fine if you wouldn’t share the dumplings you made, but how can you let Xiaofu have it raw? You…you all are too evil.”
Lin Lan, “I didn’t give him food and I don’t know where he got it, so don’t blame me. Otherwise, I will sue you for causing trouble and arrest you!”
The Second Sister-in-law wanted to ask for a few dollars as compensation, but seeing Lin Lan’s attitude that cared nothing of Xiaofu and even made threats to arrest her, the woman got angry.
Lin Lan pushed her away, “I have something to do, so hurry up and leave; I want to lock the door.”
The Second Sister-in-law, “Y-you have to pay me the money!”
Lin Lan looked at her as Second Aunt Han immediately puffed out her chest subconsciously.
Lin Lan stood up and said, “Mine is bigger, so there’s no need for you to show off.”
The Second Sister-in-law “…W-what does being bigger have to do with anything? How can you not provide payment after making Xiaofu suffer like that?”
Lin Lan, “If I give you 2 Yuan, will Xiaofu no longer get sick? Or do you want to take advantage of Xiaofu’s illness to blackmail me? If the whole village were to seek me out the moment they had financial problems, I’d be opening a bank, don’t you think?”
She made a clunk sound, rolled her eyes at the Second Sister-in-law, locked the door and left.
Generally speaking, when others sympathise with children, they simply refer to the kids in general and not the specific children of the Li family or the Liu family.
Sometimes, it was better to have more sympathy for a stranger’s child than for a troublesome enemy’s child.
Besides, what did Xiaofu’s diarrhea have to do with her? It wasn’t her fault.
She herself got sick and her children did too. It wasn’t as if she was going around asking for money out of sympathy, was it?
So, why did she have to show sympathy and give money to Xiaofu when he was sick?
What logic.
