Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1432 - 730: Bustling and Lively
It’s the second watch, asking for pinks.
Old Master Lian’s verbal attempts to stop them were ineffective, so he got down and personally tried to break up the fight, thinking that everyone, fearing they’d hurt him, would immediately stop. However, things didn’t turn out as he imagined. The few were tangled into a mess, and he couldn’t pull them apart at all. To his surprise, amidst the chaos, punches and kicks actually landed on him.
After taking hits on his back, thigh, and calf, Old Master Lian couldn’t help but stumble, his face suddenly changing.
"Kill me, you all kill me!" Old Master Lian was in extreme pain and shouted loudly.
Lady Zhou was sitting on the kang and couldn’t see very clearly, but noticed that Old Master Lian had been hit. This made her anxious too, and without bothering to put on shoes, she got down and rushed into the crowd.
"Kill me along with him, I won’t live either. Kill us, and you bastards will be at ease." Lady Zhou charged into the crowd like a mad tiger to join Old Master Lian, yelling with red eyes.
At this, the few fighting people finally stopped and backed off a bit.
Lady Zhou and Lian Shouren helped Old Master Lian back onto the kang to sit.
"Old man, where did they hit you, who did it?" Lady Zhou asked.
"Not me, not me." Lian Shouyi’s family, Woo Ergou, and Woo Sangou brothers all hurriedly denied it.
The punches and kicks came from behind, so Old Master Lian hadn’t seen who did it. He closed his eyes and tried to recall the scene at the time. Those punches and kicks fell without hesitation, with no restraint at all. It was clear that they were aimed at him.
Thinking about this, Old Master Lian was overwhelmed with emotions, his heart twisting in pain. As for who exactly did it, he was elderly, the scene was chaotic, and he was emotionally distressed, so he didn’t remember clearly, just a vague blur before his eyes.
Lian Shouren definitely wouldn’t hit him, Woo Ergou and Woo Sangou seemed to be in front of him all along, so that left Lian Shouyi and his spouse, along with Si Lang and Liulang.
Old Master Lian opened his eyes, lifted his head, and his gaze swept across the faces of Lian Shouyi’s group. He really hadn’t expected that his descendants would sneak attack him, would add fists and feet upon him.
Even if they still had some respect for him, they hated him, hated him enough to use violence against him. This realization pained Old Master Lian even more than the physical hurt.
"Unfilial, unfilial disobedience." Old Master Lian muttered, feeling both heartbroken and angry.
"Go fetch Old Fourth," Lady Zhou said fiercely seeing Old Master Lian silent, "have him bring the Yamen people, I don’t believe we can’t find out who hit. Once we find out, we’ll beat them and throw them into prison!"
Woo Ergou and Woo Sangou clearly shrank a bit, Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Si Lang looked uncomfortable, but Liulang seemed unaffected.
Woo Ergou brothers, Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Si Lang all swore repeatedly that they hadn’t hit Old Master Lian.
"Big Uncle has done us favors, how could we raise hands against him. We wouldn’t dare." Woo Ergou and Woo Sangou brothers said.
"Dad, no matter what, we couldn’t possibly hit you. What kind of people would that make us." Lian Shouyi said sincerely.
Lady He and Si Lang’s words were similar, Liulang also said he didn’t hit Old Master Lian.
Lady Zhou clamored again to call Lian Shouxin, to call the Yamen people.
"Why the uproar," Old Master Lian pacified, knowing that if this affair were truly aired out, no matter who hit him, it would be a terrible family scandal. "Let’s talk business."
Old Master Lian beckoned Woo Ergou and Woo Sangou brothers to sit in front of him.
"You go about your business. This matter doesn’t concern you now. Your elder brother’s marriage is definite. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. I’ll say it again, this matter won’t harm your interests. Just behave, and there will definitely be benefits later. If you make more trouble, then get out."
Old Master Lian waved his hand sternly.
"I’ll strip you of everything, and if Old Fourth wants to send you north, I definitely won’t stop him this time!"
Earlier words of Old Master Lian couldn’t sway Lian Shouyi’s family, but this threat of losing everything and being sent north by Lian Shouxin truly frightened them.
"Dad, we were just thinking for the good of our family, worried you’d fall for these two bastards’ tricks." Lian Shouyi said, this time not daring to oppose finding a wife for Lian Shouren.
