Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1410 - 719: Trivial Matters

Lian Yeye received the gift, then followed Lian Manman to sit on the bed, and the little girls started chatting away.

"Yeye, these days, has Third Uncle been able to handle the workload?" Lian Manman asked Lian Yeye.

Talking about Lian Shouli’s woodworking, Lian Yeye’s face lit up with happiness.

"... Just barely keeping up, but every day there’s no free time." Lian Yeye smiled, "He’s taken on a few more chest and cabinet jobs, probably won’t finish before the end of the year.... I’ve thought about learning woodworking from my dad, but he won’t teach me, says he’s never seen a woman do woodworking."

As she went on, Lian Yeye seemed a bit disappointed, but it was mild, and she probably didn’t take it to heart.

Doing woodworking mainly requires skillful hands, as long as it’s not big objects, it doesn’t require much strength. Lian Manman hadn’t thought about it before, but hearing Lian Yeye today, she was moved at heart.

Actually, having Lian Yeye learn woodworking would only bring benefits without any drawbacks. Lian Shouli would have someone to carry on his skills, ensuring the family livelihood, and Lian Yeye could rely on the craft to support herself.

However, Lian Shouli wouldn’t agree. Even though Lian Shouli seemed gentle and honest, he was actually very stubborn.

Stubborn, conservative, with rigid thinking, and he follows those so-called teachings to the letter. None of these bring him any real benefit. Sad, lamentable, and sometimes really irritating.

The little girls chatted on and soon the conversation shifted to Lady He.

"... Never seen someone so shameless!" Lian Yeye said frustratingly, "Even when told to leave, she doesn’t. My mom tells me not to argue with her, says if others hear, it wouldn’t be good for me. Says I should pretend she’s not there, but she’s right in front, and it drives me crazy."

Lian Yeye and Lady He, you could say one is jade and the other is tile. They really can’t clash because the tile won’t lose anything, but the jade it’s not worth it.

"We should think of another way, confronting her head-on is pointless." Lian Manman suggested, "By the way, does my Third Uncle still visit the old house often?"

"These days busy, when my dad gets busy, he can’t attend to anything else. He goes less often than before." Lian Yeye replied.

"Did you mention this to our grandpa and grandma to ask them to handle it?" Lian Manman asked.

"We did, of course we did." Lian Yeye’s lips drooped, "I was afraid my dad would be too embarrassed to bring it up, so I went with him."

"What happened then?" Lian Manman asked.

"Grandpa said he would take care of it, and Grandma even called her in to scold her. But afterward, she forgets and keeps coming to our house." Lian Yeye said helplessly.

Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou are increasingly unable to manage the people at the old house, Lian Manman thought.

"... I know, they only manage it in front of me and my dad. Who knows what they really do behind our backs?" Lian Yeye added, "If it were like before, with Grandma watching closely, she wouldn’t keep coming. Maybe my grandparents think that at least if she’s at our house, she won’t embarrass them outside, and whatever she says falls on our ears and we can’t spread it outside."

"That could really be the case." Lian Manman thought and nodded awkwardly. For Old Master and Lady Zhou, having Lady He stay at Lian Yeye’s house might be the least troubling option.

"It makes things easier for them, but don’t they think about how you guys feel?" Zhang Caiyun added.

"They couldn’t care less about how we feel." Lian Yeye muttered, "It’s just my dad, always saying that no matter what, they’re still your parents. If I say anything, my dad gets upset. He asks if they wronged me, and that’s why I bear a grudge.... leaves me speechless."

Lian Manman couldn’t help but blink, thinking, we can’t underestimate Lian Shouli, after what he said to Lian Yeye. Lian Shouxin never had the shrewdness to say such things.

Perhaps, it’s not so much about shrewdness. Rather, it’s that Lian Shouli’s heart towards Lian Yeye is different from how Lian Shouxin treats them.

"It’s not the same at all." Lian Manman sighed.

The room fell silent.

"By the way, yesterday Jizu came to see my dad. Yeye, do you know if anything’s going on at the old house?" Lian Manman inquired from Lian Yeye.
