Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1454 - 740: The Struggle Never Ends
It’s the 31st, seeking pink support O(∩_∩)O
"From my point of view, we can’t keep her." Lady Zhou firmly stated, not noticing Old Master Lian’s gaze. She was joking, but she definitely didn’t want to be at the mercy of a daughter-in-law’s whims in the future, plus, Zhou Daniu eats too much.
Lady Zhou could tolerate a daughter-in-law she didn’t like joining the family, after all, even the current daughters-in-law weren’t particularly pleasing to her. However, she absolutely wouldn’t allow a daughter-in-law she couldn’t control, and who might hit her, to enter the home.
"I didn’t say to keep her either, isn’t that why we’re having trouble figuring out how to send her away?" Old Master Lian said, then looked towards Lian Shouli. "Old Three, did you just go over to Old Fourth’s place?"
Lian Shouli and Lian Jizu sat side by side on a long bench on the ground, a place Old Master Lian had assigned as soon as he came in. Hearing Old Master Lian speak to him, Lian Shouli promptly lifted his head.
"Yes, I just stopped by Old Fourth’s place." Lian Shouli answered honestly.
"Did you see Old Fourth, and what did you say to him? Oh, I really don’t want Old Fourth to know about this situation. But now that it’s gotten to this point, we probably can’t keep it a secret. Talk to him first, so he can be prepared." Old Master Lian sighed and urgently asked, "What did Old Fourth say, when is he coming?"
"I didn’t see him." Lian Shouli’s face showed a bit of embarrassment, "Yeye was at his place and told me Old Fourth had gone out early in the morning, not sure when he’d be back."
"Yeye is at Old Fourth’s place..." a contemplative expression appeared on Old Master Lian’s face, "I guess they know about what’s happening here."
"Where did Old Fourth go?" Lady Zhou shuffled, speaking fiercely, "When we need him, he’s never home. What good is it to keep a son like this?"
"Even if Old Fourth isn’t home, his wife should be, right? Her mother is still staying here, so she couldn’t have gone out. You didn’t ask her to send someone to find Old Fourth? Such a big issue happening here, and she doesn’t bother to say a word. She claims to be virtuous and filial, but her virtues and filial piety are worth nothing!"
Recently, with a rather subtle mindset, whenever in the old house, in front of the grandchildren, Lady Zhou put on quite a display whenever Lian Shouxin’s group was mentioned, speaking with particular authority.
Naturally, no one in the room responded to Lady Zhou’s words.
"Old Three, where did Old Fourth go, when will he return?" Old Master Lian waited for Lady Zhou to finish speaking, paused for a moment, and seeing Lian Shouli hadn’t spoken, asked again.
"I really don’t know,... they didn’t tell me." Lian Shouli said, then slightly lowered his head.
It was Lian Yeye who told him Lian Shouxin wasn’t home. He intended to inquire further, but Lian Yeye stopped him. Lian Yeye also persuaded him, explaining a series of reasons why he shouldn’t seek out Lian Shouxin.
These matters, of course, Lian Shouli wouldn’t tell Old Master Lian.
"Then... Old Fourth’s wife didn’t ask you anything either, didn’t say anything?" Old Master Lian asked again.
"No." Lian Shouli shook his head, besides his own Yeye, he hadn’t seen any of Lian Shouxin’s family members.
"Sigh." Old Master Lian let out a long sigh, his brows furrowed into a knot. With things reaching this point, if Lian Shouxin could come, the problem should be easily resolved. But precisely because things have reached this stage, he couldn’t bring himself to personally ask Lian Shouxin to come. He hinted at Lian Shouli, and Lian Shouli, understanding the gesture, took the initiative to find Lian Shouxin.
But as it happened, Lian Shouxin was not at home.
"Is he really not home, or is he hiding?" Old Master Lian wondered, but such words couldn’t be voiced now.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Lian Shouren asked anxiously, sitting up from the bed after hearing the conversation between Old Master Lian and Lian Shouli. He was genuinely afraid that Old Master Lian couldn’t withstand the pressure and would agree to the marriage.
"Dad, if you ask me, I’d rather not talk about a daughter-in-law like that." Lian Shouren said with grudge.
Old Master Lian didn’t reply immediately. In fact, he wouldn’t be the first to accept Zhou Daniu, even without Lian Shouren and Lady Zhou’s objections.
Zhou Daniu could eat a lot; he could tolerate that. Even if Zhou Daniu wasn’t very sharp, given the situation, as long as it didn’t affect their life or caring for Lian Shouren, he might tolerate it. But Zhou Daniu being both foolish and insane was something he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.
Because this wasn’t bringing a daughter-in-law into the family, it was like bringing in an ancestor to worship. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
No one in the family could bear it, and they couldn’t withstand outsiders’ ridicule either.
