Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1409 - 718: Wedding Date (2)

Regarding this matter, both families have long reached an understanding with each other. Lady Zhang, just like Lady Wu Wang, couldn’t fully recognize the words on the invitation. She simply heard Lady Wu Wang mention a few dates, thought about it, and then went to ask Lady Li.

Finally, Lady Zhang chose the twenty-eighth of the twelfth month as the day for Wu Jiaxing and Lian Zhizhi’s wedding.

"I’ve calculated it, Wu Lang will definitely be back by then." Lady Zhang said, and then called Xiao Qing inside to bring the invitation to Lian Shouxin for his opinion.

After a little while, Xiao Qing came back and informed Lady Zhang that Lian Shouxin also agreed to hold the wedding on the twenty-eighth of the twelfth month.

This decision had been made long ago, just whether it was earlier or later by a couple of days. Since Lady Zhang set the date, Lian Shouxin had no reason to object.

Finally, setting the wedding date made everyone feel that another major affair had been settled, and their joy was obvious. Xiao Qing came out from the east room and went into the west room, smiling broadly, and quietly told Lian Manman about the matter.

A few young girls were sitting together and heard Xiao Qing’s words. Lian Zhizhi naturally blushed, while the others laughed and congratulated her.

In the evening, they kept some people from the Wu Family for dinner and split into two tables. At the men’s table, Lian Shouxin and Wu Yugui both drank too much, obviously delighted.

Since Lian Shouxin drank too much, the old house sent Lian Jizu to find him, but Steward Han Zhong stopped him. After dismissing Lian Jizu, Han Zhong reported to Lady Zhang.

"...said it was the Old Master and Madam who sent him to find the Old Master. I told him the Old Master was drunk and asked what was needed. He hesitated, so I asked about the Old Master and Madam’s health. He said they were fine, so I sent him back." Han Zhong reported to Lady Zhang.

"I understand, you did the right thing." Lady Zhang nodded and dismissed Han Zhong.

As long as neither Old Master Lian nor Lady Zhou was ill or anything happened, Lian Manman and the others didn’t need to rush over there.

"Mom, while we were away, how’s everything at the old house? Any disturbances?" Lian Manman asked Lady Zhang on the side.

"Them? Still the same. The Old Master and Madam argue every few days, maybe because they know your father and your brother are not around, they haven’t come to find me. The eldest household is quite honest and rarely goes out. But the second household, the Second Master is always out and about, hasn’t come here. Yaya’s mother is still like that, always lingering at our workshop and doorstep. We are strict with our entrance. She can’t enter, so she goes to Yeye Household." Lady Zhang told Lian Manman.

"Still going to Yeye Household every day?" Lian Manman asked.

"Every day, without missing one. Laziness in her house to light the stove, and they lack firewood. She covets the warmth in Yeye Household... Your third uncle and aunt are kind-hearted and well-mannered." Lady Zhang sighed and shook her head.

They don’t want to or wouldn’t say harsh, cruel words.

"Doesn’t Yeye drive her away?" Lian Manman asked in surprise.

"How not to drive her away?" Lady Zhang said, "But what’s the use? Can Yeye curse her or hit her? Even if cursed, Yeye is just a young girl, she’d be at a disadvantage... If she’s driven away today, she’d return tomorrow. Yeye and her family can’t always barricade the door day by day; if they don’t open, she’d bang the door. There’s no solution... A few days ago, your aunt and Yeye hid at our place, thinking that if only your third uncle is home, she wouldn’t have the nerve to stay." Lady Zhang continued. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Unexpectedly, she’s totally unbothered, still boldly took off her shoes and went on the bed to demand food and drink from your third uncle." Lady Zhang added, "Shameless and irretrievable, there’s nothing to be done."

"What?!" Lian Manman blushed.

To outsiders, it might be amusing, even Lian Manman found it both laughable and cry-worthy, but thinking for a moment, the parties involved, namely Yeye Household, would probably not find it so easy.

"After that, your aunt and Yeye dared not hide anymore. Your third uncle is a bashful person, an honest person—if there’s any trouble, he’s the one who suffers." Lady Zhang replied.

"What is all this nonsense!" Lian Manman frowned. Is it true that the shameless are invincible?

"Sigh." Lady Zhang sighed. "Like a stubborn plaster, shamelessness. Your third uncle and aunt are thin-skinned and can’t let go of their dignity. Before they utter any complaints, they’d blush first. Your aunt said just pretend not to see her. That person, if left alone, actually has no bad intentions, just annoying."

"Your aunt also said she doesn’t socialize much, so she doesn’t know village happenings. Having Lady He visit daily has one advantage: they get to hear village gossip first." Lady Zhang added.

This is clearly self-consolation.

"Yeye must be sulking." Lian Manman commented.

The next day, Lian Shouli, Lady Zhao, and Lian Yeye came to visit Lian Manman’s family. Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin stayed in the front yard to chat, while Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye went to the backyard to talk with an entire room full of women.

"...I wanted to come yesterday, but my father needed help delivering tables and chairs, came back late, worried you’ve traveled far and might be tired, turning in early, so didn’t come over." Lian Yeye greeted Lian Manman warmly, smiling as she explained.

"I was wondering why you didn’t come yesterday, turns out it’s because of this." Lian Manman smiled and said, "I brought you something, come, let’s talk in that room."

"Alright." Lian Yeye agreed happily, and the few young girls went to the west room.

Lian Manman took out the gift intended for Lian Yeye and handed it to her.

"Sister Manman, you always buy things for me..." Lian Yeye said awkwardly.

"Take it." Lian Manman smiled, "It’s not only for you, it’s also for my sister, Sister Caiyun, and Jiayu, the three of you each have one, all the same."
