Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1451 - 738: Opportunity (2)

This couldn’t help but draw the attention of the neighbors. At first, everyone didn’t come out to see, but later, the old mansion over there was so noisy that no one could sleep. Seeing the lights were still on at the old mansion, they came over to inquire.

Then, the matter naturally couldn’t be hidden. By daybreak, all the people nearby were up, and the whole village came to know about it.

"Did Old Master get hurt?" Lian Shouxin asked first after hearing it all.

"No." Everyone shook their heads.

"They didn’t hit my grandfather; it’s just that the head of the house and the two Woo Family brothers got beaten." Lian Yeye said.

As long as Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou were safe and sound, Lian Shouxin wasn’t as anxious about other matters. Even so, he couldn’t help but stomp his foot.

"Those people from the Old Woo Family are like dogs that can’t stop eating shit. It’s been so many years, and everyone sees it clearly... yet they have to fall for it all over again."

"Old Master is the kind of person who thinks no one has bad intentions. He kept hoping that the Woo Family would have a change of heart." Lady Zhang sighed.

Unfortunately, Old Master Lian’s wish did not come true. His tolerance and trust turned out to be met with such unbearable deception and mockery. The Lian Family Old Mansion, this time truly lost face unexpectedly.

"Such things are rare." Although Lady Li was somewhat aged and had seen much, this kind of thing still surprised her. "It’s one thing for a foolish girl to become a wife, but this is just too ridiculously crazy. If she had hidden it during the marriage arrangement and it blew up afterwards, everyone would be unprepared, and it could even lead to a mortal incident."

"This act is too unethical." Lady Li shook her head repeatedly, "Don’t mention that your Old Master has done favors for their family, even just as ordinary villagers, you wouldn’t deal with things this way."

"...My dad and mom went to the old mansion, and I just went along too." Lian Yeye said, "According to that old guy and the Woo Family brothers, they said Zhou Daniu normally doesn’t have episodes unless she’s hit or chased out. As long as these two things don’t happen, she’s usually fine."

"And we can still trust their words now? Even if it’s true, it’s still dangerous." Lian Manman muttered to herself. Someone like Zhou Daniu was akin to a volcano. Moreover, Lian Manman thought, if Zhou Daniu really stays, perhaps very soon, Lady Zhou’s scolding would become another trigger for her episodes.

"Oh, thank goodness it was discovered in time. If she really married in, her grandmother, being what she is, might scold her saying they’ll expel her at some point. And if no one is around..." Lady Zhang glanced at Lian Shouxin and said no more.

It seemed... a bit regrettable, Lian Manman and Lian Yeye exchanged a look, and in each other’s eyes, they saw the same meaning, which made them feel even more sympathy.

Of course, this is just a joke.

"The old man from the Zhou Family stubbornly refuses to leave, insisting on leaving his daughter behind, saying she would be fine with just a bite to eat, otherwise, he’d rather die. Outsiders are saying that he sees Old Master as kind-hearted, easy-going, and well-off, so he wants to find a suitable home and a way to make a living for his daughter." Xiao Qing said.

From last night, they’ve been persistently clinging until now, even resorting to threats of death. It seems this matter is rather tricky.

"...It’s unreasonable. Just spending a little bit of money, I guess the few bucks the Old Master has will suffice.... Hopefully, he’ll learn a lesson and be a bit more cautious in the future." Lian Shouxin waved his hand and said.

"Dad, aren’t you going to check it out?" Lian Manman asked with a smile.

"What would I go see for?" Lian Shouxin pulled a sour face, "There’s no need for me in this matter."

Despite saying that, Lian Shouxin’s thoughts were certainly not as stated. It’s not about being needed at the old mansion, but he really didn’t want to deal with this mess.

"Let’s eat. If anyone comes looking for me later, just say I’m not home." Lian Shouxin said, and once the servants left, he told his family, "I’m not going anywhere today, I’m afraid people will ask me, I don’t have the face for it."

The family held back their laughter; the situation was somewhat embarrassing, but they understood Lian Shouxin’s feelings at this moment.

"Dad, you should stay at home today and study with Xiao Qi." Lian Manman suggested with a smile.

"Alright." Lian Shouxin and Xiao Qi answered in unison.

"Yeye, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come eat with us." Lian Manman said to Lian Yeye.

Lian Yeye hesitated for a moment, then agreed. Once everyone went inside and settled down on the kang, Lian Yeye shared another piece of juicy gossip.

"...Yesterday, not only did Er Gou’s wife go to the old mansion, but later she quietly left. As she walked down the street, someone beat her up." Lian Yeye finished speaking and chuckled.

"Do you know who did it?" Lady Zhang asked.

"No, no one saw. She was beaten to the ground and couldn’t move, later someone who went to inquire at the old mansion stumbled over her and then noticed.... She said it was someone from the old mansion who beat her." Lian Yeye said.

"Oh, which person did she say from the old mansion?" Lian Manman asked.

"She said it was the sister-in-law." Lian Yeye answered.

"Jizu’s wife?" Lady Zhang was surprised.

"Yes." Lian Yeye nodded, "Sister-in-law didn’t admit to it, said she was inside the whole time. Grandma also said that sister-in-law was inside serving the whole time and didn’t go anywhere."

"What ended up happening?" Lady Zhang asked again.

"She cried her eyes out, but nobody cared for her." Lian Yeye said.

"Even if it was really sister-in-law who beat her, this time it would be for nothing." Lian Manman thought for a moment and then laughed. At this crucial moment, Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou were furious with the Woo Family, and since no one caught Lady Chiang red-handed, they naturally protected her. Given Lady Chiang’s good reputation, considering the conflict with Er Gou’s wife, it’s clear whom people would believe.

Moreover, in the current situation, Er Gou’s wife getting beaten doesn’t really matter. It truly is, "No hit for nothing," and even if she’s beaten, it’s for nothing.
