Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 913 - 467: Return to Taicang

Second watch, pleading for pink.

"Alright, Jizu, you go back and discuss it." Lian Manman nodded, letting Lian Jizu leave.

"If Jizu goes back to discuss it with your grandma and then tricks her into staying, what can we do?" After Lian Jizu left, Lady Zhang worriedly said. Lady Zhou is very clever, but she’s helpless against her oldest son and grandson. Lian Jizu seems useless, but when it comes to fooling Lady Zhou, he’s quite capable.

"Mom, you don’t have to worry about anything. No matter what result they come up with, in the end, it’ll have to be according to our wishes." Lian Manman told Lady Zhang with a smile.

That evening, after Lian Manman family finished dinner and were discussing plans for the next days, Lian Shouli arrived.

Lady Zhou sent him to look for Lian Shouxin.

"Jizu said he wants to go back, and mom plans to go back too, as soon as possible. Mom sent us brothers to discuss it." Lian Shouli told Lian Shouxin.

Lian Manman, sitting on the kang, couldn’t help but glance at Lian Shouli.

These days, Lian Yeye has been complaining a lot. As for Lian Shouli getting close to Lady Zhou and helping her with things, Lian Manman has no position to intervene. After all, it may not do anyone any good, so Lian Manman won’t do it. According to Lian Yeye, Lian Shouli does work for Lady Zhou, but doesn’t spend money for her.

Is this a small blessing in disguise?

After the family split, Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao finally got some money, and Lian Manman gradually realized that Lian Shouli is very tight with money. Lady Zhao is also frugal, unwilling to spend on food or clothes, not willing to spend a single wen on herself. However, when it comes to necessary social exchanges, they never skim on a single gift.

Lian Manman family had privately discussed this issue.

"Isn’t it because they don’t have a son? There’s no one to rely on for old age support later. They have to save up some silver coin." Lady Zhang said so.

"Should we go over?" Lian Shouxin asked Lady Zhang.

"Old Fourth, let’s go first, let the women come slowly." Lian Shouli stood up, intending to leave first with Lian Shouxin.

"Third Uncle, you go on ahead, let my dad wait a bit, we have something to do first." Lian Manman quickly said.

"Ah." Lian Shouli responded with an "ah," he is an honest person, hearing Lian Manman say this, though a bit unwilling, he really went out first.

"Manman, what else is there?" Lian Shouxin asked Lian Manman.

"Dad, you wait for us, and we’ll all go with mom together." Lian Manman glanced outside the window, adding, "It’s almost dark."

This was just an excuse, Lian Manman simply didn’t want Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin to get close at this moment. Lian Shouli was already leaning towards Lady Zhou, who knows if he would convey Lady Zhou’s "kindness" to Lian Shouxin? It hasn’t been easy for their family to achieve what they have today, being cautious is always right.

It was still quite bright outside, but as Lian Manman said so, Lian Shouxin didn’t say much more, taking it as his little girl being playful.

Lian Manman and the others were not in a hurry, slowly putting on shoes and getting off the kang, tidying up, and then the family headed towards the old mansion.

"...Why haven’t they come? Acting all high and mighty now? Did you make it clear to them it was me who asked them to come... just asked you to handle this, and you can’t handle it properly..."

As they approached the Lian Family Old Mansion, they could hear Lady Zhou’s scolding voice coming from the Upper Room, apparently reprimanding Lian Shouli.

"My dad just finished work, tired all day, I said I’d send a message for you, and you didn’t agree, insisting my dad send the message. My dad hadn’t even finished his meal, he immediately went. My dad delivered the message, shouldn’t we give Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt a little time? They don’t have nothing else to do all day." It was Lian Yeye quarreling with Lady Zhou.

"You little wretch, you’re also arguing with me, you..."

Lian Manman walked to the middle of the courtyard and deliberately coughed twice.

In the Upper Room, Lady Zhou’s voice immediately subsided.

"See, they’ve arrived." Lian Lanlan’s voice said, "Mom, you are just too impatient."

"I was always impatient when I was young, and I can’t stand their dawdling ways." Lady Zhou’s voice responded, her tone softened.

Impatient, is a vernacular term here in Thirty Mile Camp, generally meaning quick-tempered, efficient in doing things, and not dragging things on.

"Jizu, quickly go and welcome your Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt." Lian Lanlan immediately went in and reminded Lian Jizu.

Lian Lanlan accompanied Lady Zhou sitting on the kang, and when she saw Lian Manman family enter the room, she smiled and invited them to sit on the kang. However, the family found stools and sat on the floor instead.
