Chapter 359: Chapter 358: Second Uncle’s Family
Wang Guilan saw that Han Yi and his wife were not very fond of her, and her smile faded as they walked away.
Last night Old Feng somehow heard about her unpleasant incident with Lin Wan. When he came back, he started arguing with her, saying she had nothing better to do than cause trouble for him.
Not only did he hit the child, but he also slapped her, saying she didn’t know how to educate the child and only knew how to foolishly eat and drink all day.
He scolded her for letting the child shamelessly go to other people’s homes asking for food, as if Old Feng couldn’t afford to support his wife and child.
Listening to what her husband said, she thought she was taking small advantages from people just for the sake of this family; her monthly salary was just so much.
It’s already good enough to provide for the family’s meals, and if the child wants to eat something better, it definitely costs money.
Kids can’t eat much, and since they’re neighbors, if a family has something to give to a child, they wouldn’t be unwilling.
Instructor Feng was really annoyed back then, and now most of the families in the yard are just like him, having wives and children to support, and some families with boys eat even more. He doesn’t even consider whose family isn’t under pressure.
Everyone knows about his wife and child’s tendency to take advantage of others among the comrades living in the yard.
The others overlook it for his sake, but this woman can’t take a beating. Even after being scolded and beaten for a while, she still returns to her old habits.
It’s one thing if it ends there, but who knew this woman would set her sights on Han Yi’s wife.
His wife looked like an easygoing person, having just gotten married and moved to this area with the army.
Seeing that Han Yi’s family was well-off, she began bringing her child over daily to ask for things.
This foolish woman didn’t consider who Han Yi was, known as the Cold Yama, not someone easily taken advantage of.
Recently, there’s been talk in the army that the Cold Yama is actually someone who dotes on his wife. If his wife suffers, eventually he, as her husband, would be the one at a disadvantage.
He really can’t afford to provoke Han Yi, the Cold Yama.
Hell, his wife needs to be beaten every day to be obedient, otherwise sooner or later Han Yi would set him straight.
Han Yi was riding the bike, with the cloth bag tied onto the crossbar at the front, while Lin Wan sat at the back, wrapped tightly with a scarf leaving only her eyes exposed, holding onto his waist.
The road was still slippery, and Han Yi didn’t dare to ride too fast.
Stopping and resting, they reached the city in half an hour.
His second uncle’s family lived in the family compound of the city’s Public Security Department. It took another twenty minutes from the city to the compound.
H City is a secondary city in S Province, but its level of prosperity isn’t too different from S City; the city mainly thrives in the mountains, aquatic industry, mountain goods, and coal mining.
Han Yi and Lin Wan encountered someone selling crayfish and dried beans by the roadside, bought some to take to his second uncle.
The family apartment buildings in H City’s Public Security Department were newly built suites, two households per landing, with two units connected, four floors.
The second uncle’s family lived in the eastern unit on the third floor of the third block in a row.
Han Yi and Lin Wan had just knocked twice when the door opened.
Shen Jie was the one who opened the door. It had been half a year, and Shen Jie looked even prettier, and also knew how to dress up.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, you’re finally here. Mom and I have been waiting for you all morning," Shen Jie said, happily pulling Lin Wan inside the house without paying attention to Han Yi. "Mom, cousin and cousin-in-law are here."
At that moment, Aunt Fang was wearing an apron, carrying vegetables she was picking, "Riding must’ve tired you out, sit down and have a rest," Fang Xin said, quickly heading to the kitchen to wash her hands and remove the apron.
Lin Wan observed the second uncle’s house, it had three bedrooms and two living rooms. The rooms were large, and the balcony was large too.
Back then there was no shared area in houses; they were public properties, and the space of 80 or so square meters didn’t feel much different from the more than 100 square meters in the future.
