Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1371 - 699: Muddy Mess (Part 3)

"Alright, we know." Lian Manman said, "Xiao Hetao, you’d better go back to Xiao Qi."

"Alright." Xiao Hetao responded and ran off.

"What is this! Really can’t let people rest easy!" Lady Zhang unconsciously wiped her hands with her apron and said.

In the middle of the busy autumn, Old Master Lian fell. No matter how well he was cared for, they couldn’t tie him up. If he wanted to help his grandchildren with some long-term tasks, how could Lian Manman and the others stop him. And now that he’s accidentally fallen, it’s still up to them to look after him.

No wonder Lady Zhang would sigh like this.

"At such an old age, this is the last thing you want. We need to go and see him." Lady Zhang said, taking off her apron.

She left the household affairs to Lian Zhizhi, especially not to delay the meals. They could eat later or even skip a meal, but when the long-term workers returned from the fields, their meals must not be delayed.

"I’ll go check and come back." Lady Zhang told Lian Zhizhi.

"Mom, don’t worry, I can handle it." Lian Zhizhi said, "Manman, you should go with our mom."

"Okay, I’ll go with mom." Lian Manman nodded.

Without changing clothes, Lady Zhang and Lian Manman hurried to the old house. As they entered the main gate of the old residence, they saw Lian Shouxin and Xiao Qi escorting Doctor Li out.

Lady Zhang and Lian Manman quickly greeted Doctor Li.

"How is the old master, is it serious?" Lady Zhang and Lian Manman both asked.

"It’s not serious." Doctor Li had a relaxed expression, "It’s just that the old master is elderly, you must be careful."

Upon hearing this from Doctor Li, Lady Zhang and Lian Manman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing Doctor Li off, the family returned to the Upper Room.

"...Luckily it was in the muddy ground, although he slipped and fell, the fall wasn’t heavy. If it had been somewhere else, he might not have been able to get off the kang." As they walked, Lian Shouxin explained the specific situation to Lady Zhang and Lian Manman.

In the yard, the flat cart from the old house was parked, its wheels and body covered in mud. Nearby, corn cobs were scattered as if they had been dug out of the mud.

"Our grandpa fell, and this cart overturned." Xiao Qi told Lian Manman, "It took a lot of effort to get it out of the mud."

Inside the Upper Room, Old Master Lian, wearing his natural-colored jacket and pants, was leaning on the kang head. Lady Zhou sat next to him with a stern face. Beside them was a basin of water, and Lady Zhou was using a cloth soaked in water to wipe Old Master Lian’s arms and legs.

On the ground, there was a set of indigo clothes, covered in muddy water and grass blades. Clearly, Old Master Lian had fallen into a mud pit, and his clothes were all smeared with mud and water.

On the ground, besides Lian Duoduo, everyone in the old house, including Lian Yaya and Da Niuniu, was present, all standing there with expressions of unease on their faces.

Lian Manman saw this scene as soon as she entered the room.

"I’m fine, I just slipped a bit, it’s all mud, looks scary, but I didn’t really hurt myself." Old Master Lian, seeing that Lady Zhang and Lian Manman had arrived, quickly invited the family to sit down and explained with a forced smile. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Grandpa, what did you promise us? Why did you go to the fields again? If you want to check, that’s fine, why did you pull the cart? Who told you to pull the cart?" Lian Manman asked Old Master Lian.

"I ask you all, who told the old master to pull the cart?" Lian Shouxin, who had been smiling while seeing Doctor Li off, now wore a stern face as he entered the room. He asked sharply, causing Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, and the other adult men to change their expressions, and none dared to answer.

"Forget it, forget it." Old Master Lian waved his hand, "Old Fourth, don’t be angry. It’s not that any of them told me to do it, none of them could actually command me. It’s just that I’m impatient and insisted on pulling that cart myself."

"Dad, why are you still protecting them at this point?" Lian Shouxin said, restraining his anger, "Even if you don’t think for us, think for yourself as well. Today’s situation was a stroke of luck, otherwise, with this fall, you wouldn’t be able to get off the kang, and paying for medical expenses is nothing. But what about enduring the pain? That suffering isn’t easy, is it?"
