Strict Wife of the '70s Manages the Household

Eldest Aunt Han used to be afraid of her mother-in-law, but since she had a son, there was no longer a reason for her to worry. Therefore, she argued with her mother-in-law to no end. In the end, because they kept arguing too much, her mother-in-law became ill with anger. Consequently, the man who had been under her control suddenly broke out and beat her up.

Eldest Aunt Han was beaten badly, which led to her recovering for quite some time, not wanting to bear the shame if she were to return to her mother’s house.

Recently, her mother-in-law was sick once again and the family atmosphere in her own family was rather relaxed. She claimed that she was going to bring her son back to see his maternal grandparents while also intending to help her younger brother find a job.

She had already forgotten what Lin Lan said about beating her with a big broom, but either way, she didn’t think that Lin Lan would actually have the audacity to hit her.

Lin Lan pointed towards her with the rolling pin, “Go and sit there.”

Eldest Aunt Han shivered for a moment. She felt a little weak when the other party seemed so strong, so she sat down subconsciously.

Lin Lan said, “Okay, don’t beat around the bush, just tell me why you came here.”

Eldest Aunt Han still wanted to struggle, “I just brought my nephew to see his Third Uncle.”

Lin Lan said bluntly, “I’m going to speak frankly— if you’re trying to get his Third Uncle to recommend you or anyone else for jobs, then you should forget it. His Third Uncle, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, is just like the Security Director. Vacant recruits belong to the logistics of the Revolutionary Committee, so his words wouldn’t bear weight.”

“Why not? Even Han Qingyun can make the call?” Han Jinyu thought she had managed to outwit Lin Lan, which was why she appeared smug and excited.

“I sometimes wonder what sort of material is your brain made of?” Lin Lan sneered at her, “Han Qingyun is the Captain of the Village Militia and his father is the Secretary Head. Technically speaking, he is higher than Qingsong on the hierarchy list. Even if your Third Brother is not the Director, his position would remain the same. Good heavens, you are dense!”

“You!” Han Jinyu stood up angrily.

Sun Yaowu hurriedly advised her to calm down, not to stir a conflict with her sister-in-law but to respect her, inversely.

He found that Lin Lan was not at all like what Han Jinyu said. She was described as a superficial and vulgar woman who would swear, cry, make trouble and try to hang herself. Clearly, he could tell that she was very intelligent.

He suddenly felt that it might not be easy to handle.

He was optimistic about Han Qingsong, feeling that he was someone who would do great things. Being related to him somehow might propel him up the ranks and give him an opportunity to take the top spot in the Public Security Bureau one day.

It’s just that he never had the chance to meet him and it wasn’t until later on that Sun Yaowu utilised some connections to get to know Han Jinyu as a potential partner. Naturally, his real goal was to get close to Han Qingsong.

Originally, he was thinking of using his wife as the connection. Director Han seemed to love his wife very much and he was told that his wife was vulgar and greedy for money. As long as he maintained a good relationship with her and she dropped a few hints about how capable he was, Director Han would definitely be inclined to help him.
