Strict Wife of the '70s Manages the Household

“No matter what, we’re still husband… family, so if you have any problems, you should discuss it with me. Regardless of whether I can contribute money or effort, or even if I can’t help you, I can still think of an idea to help you out, right?”

That sounded even stranger, he thought.

Han Qingsong stared at her as if he was trying to see her through from the inside out.

“I have an old… comrade-in-arms that encountered an accident. I have to go back and see him, so I need to bring more money to help him.”

It was very likely that he was going to go to save his life, so he didn’t say much because he didn’t want to scare Lin Lan.

Lin Lan naturally understood. After all, after 70 years, although it had stabilised, the local struggle was still very fierce.

There might be some sort of internal movements occuring in some corners.

“I… I have 280 Yuan here, you can take it with you first.”

From the 260 Yuan previously, it cost about ten yuan to see a doctor and buy Xiaowang a pair of glasses. She didn’t use any of the remaining. Plus, the remains of the 100 Yuan she got from the separation was added to the sum as well.

Han Qingsong laughed— she really didn’t give the money to her parents’ family. 

“Then lend me200 Yuan and I will make money to pay you back in the future.”

Lin Lan suddenly became angry, “Why? You don’t want to give me any more money after you earn your salary in the future?”

Do you still want to give it to the old lady!

“I’ll give it all to you. Besides earning money, I want to make more money to make sure that I compensate you for everything that you’ve been through,” He promised.

Lin Lan didn’t doubt his promise, “That would be pretty nice.”

She went to take out her money. She had been hiding it in Xiaowang’s tattered clothes as they have the unpleasant smell that was rather peculiar to the children. So even if Old Lady Han and the second sister-in-law ransacked her house when she wasn’t home that few times, she wasn’t worried that they would find it at all.

She went out and handed the money to Han Qingsong. She believed that this comrade-in-arms and Han Qingsong must have a deep relationship. Otherwise, he would not be so nervous.

Han Qingsong looked at it through the dim light. He only needed two hundred and returned the rest to her, “You take these in case you want to add something to the house.”

Lin Lan didn’t want it as she had already reluctantly tried to be a good person to the end, “Even if I have that, I can’t buy anything without coupons or tickets. You can take all of these— I’d rather you take more in case since you’re going to handle matters outside.”

Han Qingsong nodded, “Okay, then I’ll leave tomorrow. I’ll be back in a few days.”

Lin Lan smiled, “If you have something to say in the future, don’t keep it to yourself. I’m not immortal, so I can’t guess what you’re thinking.”

Han Qingsong also laughed, “If you don’t find it annoying, I’ll tell you everything from now.”

Lin Lan remembered what she said before. “Don’t talk to me about the crap that you deal with outside,” Looking back, she blamed him for talking and laughing with his comrades, so there wasn’t much that he could say to her.

She guessed that he’s going to be a little confused.

Early the next morning, Han Qingsong went to say goodbye to Old Man Han and his eldest brother, saying that he was going to go back to the army.
