Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1435 - 731: The Mastermind vs. Endurance_2
"What are you saying?" Old Master Lian glared at Lady Zhou, slowly putting on his clothes. "Mind your words."
Old Master Lian knew that it was his own children and grandchildren who attacked. Unlike Lady Zhou, he couldn’t bear to curse his own children no matter what.
"Dad, you need to call a doctor for this injury quickly," Lian Shouren said, "It looks like this now, but by tomorrow, it’ll definitely be worse. Don’t let it become a chronic problem!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Lian Shouren certainly cared about Old Master Lian’s injuries. He knew very well that now, Old Master Lian was his only support. The longer Old Master Lian lived, the longer he could enjoy some good days. Lian Shouren hoped Old Master Lian would live a long life.
Besides, if they called a doctor for Old Master Lian, he could also seize the opportunity to get some medicine for his facial and bodily injuries.
"... That second brother’s family hits really hard, " Lian Shouren sighed, "Look at my face, not to mention my body, I’ve taken quite a beating. They beat me to death, is this still brotherhood?"
"They are like animals, they have no sense of familial love," Old Master Lian cursed softly.
The family still had some medicine, and some tonic sent by Lian Shouxin, but those things were not only useless for injuries but harmful.
"Open the door, let Jizu go and call Doctor Li," said Lady Zhou.
Lian Shouren heard this and hurriedly moved to go, but was quickly stopped by Old Master Lian.
"Come back!" Old Master Lian said with a stern face, his attitude unusually resolute. "We can’t call a doctor now... Fortunately, these are just flesh wounds, no bones hurt, it’ll pass if we endure a bit. We must not call a doctor."
If they called in a doctor, how would they explain it? Say that because he wanted to find a wife for Lian Shouren, his second son’s family beat him and Lian Shouren? Old Master Lian actually had some self-awareness. He knew that trying to find a wife for Lian Shouren had already become a widespread rumor. It really couldn’t turn into a scandal.
Moreover, such a scandal.
Being contradicted by sons or having a family quarrel, it happens in every family, but being beaten by children and grandchildren is undoubtedly rare.
"I can’t afford to lose face like this," Old Master Lian muttered to himself, "In the chaotic situation, maybe it was an accident. They are all my Lian family’s offspring, for better or worse, I still need to save some face for them. If this thing blows up, they can forget about living with dignity. Let’s just drop it."
"Accident? If it happens once, it can happen a second time, a third time?" Lady Zhou naturally didn’t believe it, and turned to ask Lian Shouren, "Oldest, did you see who hit your dad?"
"It definitely was those three from the second brother," Lian Shouren replied without thinking, "I didn’t see clearly who exactly it was."
"Don’t think about it anymore..." Old Master Lian’s voice was somewhat hollow. Knowing who did it would only make him more sad.
Old Master Lian said don’t think about it, but he couldn’t help but think about it in his heart, and Lady Zhou was determined to find out who it was.
"... Was it the second sister-in-law?" Lady Zhou’s first suspicion was naturally the daughter-in-law, whom she considered an outsider. "Don’t be fooled by her carefree demeanor, she’s vicious. She wanders around all day. I scold her, who knows how much she hates us for it. I think it’s her secretly attacking."
"It doesn’t seem like it." Old Master Lian said with his eyes closed. Even if Lady He was big and strong, being a woman she would be more inclined to scratching. As the victim, Old Master Lian was sure that the attacker used fists and kicks, definitely a man.
"Could it be the second brother?" Lady Zhou’s heart trembled, her voice quivered as she spoke.
"He... should not dare," said Old Master Lian.
Lian Shouyi might be rash, but after all, they were father and son. Over the years, Old Master Lian understood Lian Shouyi quite well. Lian Shouyi dared to act out and be unreasonable, but he wouldn’t dare to lay hands on him. This Old Master Lian was certain about.
"He doesn’t have the viciousness for it," Old Master Lian added, "Didn’t you see I only had to scare him a bit, and he got frightened?"
"Then, then it’s..." Lady Zhou, sitting cross-legged, wrung her hands together.
"Is it Si Lang?!" Lian Shouren chimed in.
"Ay..." Old Master Lian opened his eyes, sighed upwardly, "I suppose I’ve offended him."
’Offended’ in the Thirty Mile Camp’s village slang, meant equivalent to provoking or angering someone.
Sons and grandsons are different, a generational difference. Old Master Lian’s discipline and care towards them were one layer removed, after all, they had parents themselves. It should be their parents primarily responsible for their care and discipline.
"... Is it that little brat?" Lady Zhou’s eyes widened immediately, "Oldest, you bring him to me, I’ll question him."
"Let it go," Old Master Lian waved his hand to stop her again, "Let this matter rest, no one should mention it anymore."
"You’re just going to let him get away with it?" Lady Zhou stretched her neck, "He hits you this time, and if nothing happens, next time he’ll have no issue acting above us!"
"Keep your voice down." Old Master Lian glanced impatiently at Lady Zhou, "Si Lang is young and doesn’t understand. As the elder, we should be more forgiving. That’s the cost of being the elders."
"You and your ’cost’, there’s so much ’cost’!" Lady Zhou retorted disdainfully.
"I didn’t take these hits for nothing. Otherwise, could today’s matter have been settled? Would those in the second brother’s family have let us give money to the Woo family’s second and third? We have to look at the long term. Our hearts have to withstand things!" Old Master Lian didn’t bother arguing with Lady Zhou, and after a long while, spoke slowly again.
"Those two little brats can be counted on?" Lady Zhou rolled her eyes dismissively.
"This time, it should be plausible," Old Master Lian said slowly.
