Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 293

After thinking about it, she decided that there was no way to tell her kids that the parents of the two children were infamous for their seductive tendencies and they were not some sort of saints. If she went ahead and told her children about it, the news might spread out, unintentionally causing some gossip to stir. By then, the poor girls’ names would be tarnished as well for being affiliated with such parents.

However, Lin Lan also began to pay attention to these things consciously. If she didn’t pay attention, she wouldn’t know about things occurring left and right. But the moment she did, dear God, there was trouble happening everywhere.

In the past, she only cared about herself and never paid attention to other people’s homes. Hence, it was now that she realized what a mess things could turn out to be.

A certain husband was out of town all year round, leaving his wife at home with his father, rumored to be involved in a relationship that extended beyond father-in-law and daughter-in-law. If things couldn’t be any worse, the wife was also involved in other relationships with her uncle and other men of the village. It can’t be more messy. Besides the ones involved, almost everyone was aware of this incident, though it wasn’t like anyone was going to tell the husband anyways.

The eldest daughter of another family had a secret relationship with the youngest lad of another family…

Another woman having an inconspicuous relationship with the neighboring village’s young man…

A woman who flirted with whom…

Lin Lan knew them all.

All of you are such naughty people.

After learning of these, Lin Lan was nervous. She wanted to keep a close eye on the children, lest they were badly influenced.

Dawang was 11 years old but was taller than 13 or 14 year-olds. In an environment where he could get married at the age of 15 to 17, if he was seduced or even influenced to start his own relationship, it was going to be a mess.

Hence, her anxiousness was within reason.

At dinner, Han Qingsong watched her in a daze for a while. He wondered if this grim expression of hers was because she was afraid of moving into the new house with him and sleeping with him.

He was not good at words and didn’t like small talk, but because of this, others didn’t try to avoid him when they gossiped as they knew he couldn’t care less.

When he was in the army, there were no women around, so all the men would talk about in their free time was about relationships and women. According to what they said, women in their 30s were like wolves and those in their 40s resembled tigers(2). After being separated from their husbands for a long time, they would cling unbelievably close to the men once they reunite.

(T/N: Wolves and tigers are territorial, so this means the women gets increasingly territorial, suggesting that some might even initiate physical advances after being deprived of it for a while)

What they liked to say the most was, “You know, I’m most afraid of visiting those relatives! If I have nothing else to do, I would just stay in the house day and night. The amount of times that I have to listen to these old ladies. …”

Back then, he used his indifferent expression as a poker face.

Thinking of this, his expression was still cold, but his eyes drifted to Lin Lan involuntarily.

She shouldn’t be afraid of him anymore.

At this time, Lin Lan suddenly glanced over and stared at him.

Han Qingsong’s cold expression softened at a speed visible to the naked eye, “Hmm?”

Lin Lan smiled, “I want to discuss something with you.”

Han Qingsong, if you want to talk about sleeping in separate rooms, then you can forget it.
