Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 765
Lin Lan said hurriedly, “Aunt, you don’t have to busy yourselves. I have to go home to make lunch anyways, so I can’t stay too long. I’ll come over again during the New Year’s to hang out,” Except for Chinese New Year, people from the countryside generally didn’t have time to visit relatives. Even if they visited, they’d purposely made it quick due to needing to do a lot. Moreover, everyone’s rations were limited, so the people who were sensible and understanding knew better than to stay behind and eat.
This time, Lin Lan brought some food and fruits wrapped up in a large fabric during the visit. When she returned, she could wrap the cloth in the bundle of fabric in order to remain inconspicuous to others too.
Old Lady Zheng was still looking after Xiaowang. When she saw that they were about to leave, she was very reluctant to have them go, “Little Fourth Aunt, during the winter, do visit more often if you have the time. Bring along Maisui and the others for a sleepover if you’d like.”
As a result, when Haonan heard that Xiaowang and Lin Lan were leaving, he was also reluctant for them to leave. He cried while holding Xiaowang and insisted that the youngest stayed behind. If he didn’t, he was going to roll around the ground and throw a fit.
Xiaowang, “…” Of course he refused to leave his mother, but instead he said, “How about you go to my house?”
Haonan stopped crying when he heard this and hurriedly made an attempt to pack his belongings, “Hurry, let’s go to Fourth Aunt’s house.”
The adults were about to spill tears from laughing, but Old Lady Zheng coaxed him, “Next time, child.”
Haonan started crying, “You lying, you lying…” Although Haonan had odd sentence structures, he was not stupid in the slightest. Adults kept telling him ‘next time’ for everything, but he knew that there was never another time!
Haonan was different from Xiaowang. Although his family had average conditions, his grandparents spoiled him a lot, but they spoiled him to the point where he rolled around and cried when he didn’t get what he wanted. Although Lin Mei prevented him from becoming a child bully on the streets, he still had the willful temper expected of a spoiled child.
When he cried, he could somehow utilise his voice to produce an earth-shattering scream and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Xiaowang had never seen this sort of battle before. He stood aside in a daze, as if he was watching a big show.
Lin Mei was so angry that she picked up the broom and started to flick it around. Lin Lan didn’t try to dissuade her either— it was clear that this child needed to be educated.
When Old Lady Zheng saw Lin Lan not trying to stop her sister, she had to make a move herself, “Oh, don’t hit my little treasure. The child is just having a small tantrum, he’ll be okay after a while.”
“Mom, get up, you’ve been spoiling him all day long! He’s become like this because of you!” Lin Mei didn’t relent on her point of view.
Old Lady Zheng hugged the child and said, “Then hit me.”
Lin Mei, “!! You do this every time! I just want to teach the kid a lesson. Say, why would I need to hit someone as old as you?”
Old Lady Zheng, “Or you can hit him!” She pointed at Zheng Yaozu.
Zheng Yaozu, “!!!”
