"It’s already vacated." Lian Yeye wiped away tears and nodded.

Not vacating the house from the start, not letting people in, versus vacating the house and letting them stay, then driving them out are two different things. Hearing that Lian Zhizhi’s house has already been vacated and given to the Wife of He Laoliu, Lian Manman could only sigh.

As good as the plan was, without the support of Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao, they would still lose to the Upper Room members.

This made Lian Manman inevitably think of herself. Actually speaking, her success is inimitable, at least not for Lian Zhizhi. Lian Zhizhi only has herself, and Lady Zhao is too weak, whereas Lian Shouli is not a man who listens to his wife and daughters.

As for her, Lian Manman has Wu Lang, Lian Zhizhi, and Xiao Qi—these children always stand by her. Lian Shouxin is reasonable with the wife and children, Lady Zhang is bound by her virtues but is not weak. Furthermore, there is genuine affection between Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang.

Moreover, previously she suffered greatly, nearly died, which filled Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang with guilt, making it one of the reasons she could transform Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang.

But Lian Zhizhi doesn’t possess any of these advantages, in the old house, Lian Zhizhi is alone and completely disadvantaged.

"Why did you agree to vacate the house, sister-in-law? Didn’t you speak to third brother?" Lady Zhang asked Lady Zhao.

"I did speak. Yeye’s dad didn’t listen. He said the house originally belonged to the grandparents, and we were occupying more. Now, moving from the small room to your big room is good enough. Furthermore, if not for the West Wing Room, we’d have to stay in the Upper Room with the grandparents, which would be uncomfortable for them." Lady Zhao said weakly.

Lian Yeye pouted while sitting on the stove bed.

"Yeye, don’t stay mad at your dad. He also said earlier, by next spring, we’ll build a house and move out. It’s only these two or three months, just endure it." Lady Zhao glanced at Lian Yeye and quickly consoled her.

It turns out Lian Shouli still knows to console his wife and daughter, promising to build a house and move soon.

Given the situation, what else can be done?

"It’s vacated already, what can be done now? Quickly build the house and move out." Lian Manman could only say.

"Yes, quickly build the house," the family encouraged.

Lian Yeye wiped her tears, knowing there was no alternative.

"Are the He family members eating with the Upper Room?" Lian Manman asked again.

"Yes. They have nothing, coming here just for the meals. They don’t have clothes or bedding either; earlier aunt asked me and my mom to lend them some luggage. We don’t have extra bedding, saying borrow, but essentially asking. Told my mom to find a way to ask Fourth Aunt for two sets of bedding she doesn’t use." Lian Yeye said, "Also told my mom that Fourth Aunt is kind to us, urging mom to ask Fourth Aunt for unused bedding."

This Lady He even set her sights on her family, Lian Manman frowned.

"And what did you say?" Lian Manman asked Lian Yeye.

"Of course, I didn’t agree. I told her, if a family hasn’t made bedding, it’s certainly because it’s used. Told her if she wants something from Fourth Aunt, she’d better ask herself instead of us. I asked her if our relationship was to scheme for Fourth Aunt’s things." Lian Yeye said.

"Are they planning to stay long?" Lian Shouxin asked.

"No one’s said anything." Lian Yeye replied, "Apart from this, probably no place for them to go."

"Who’s to blame? Initially, why did they sell the house and land, if not for He Laoliu not behaving?" Lian Manman said, knowing that Old Master Lian didn’t have to take them in, and furthermore, he didn’t have a good impression of the He family—living in one courtyard with meals in one room would be uncomfortable.

"What’s this for? Good people don’t act like this." Lian Manman sighed.

Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye were at Lian Manman’s house for a while, until the lamps were lit, then Lian Shouli arrived leisurely.

"...We’ll build the house next spring, just these two or three months, will pass quickly. Dad spoke, I have no choice. Dad’s right, not letting people in would cause talk about not valuing family relations. Our family returned well, while He Laoliu lost his life. Though He Laoliu wasn’t good, he was still a life... If I stopped them from vacating the house, letting them squeeze into the room with Second Brother isn’t a solution. Living in the Upper Room isn’t right either. That would be unfilial, unbecoming." Lian Shouli explained.
