Reborn as a Landlord

Second watch, asking for pink.

********

When the news first spread, many people held a mocking and suspicious attitude towards Lian Shouli. No one knows why, but for scandalous events like these, people tend to believe there is some truth to them rather than dismiss them. They rarely consider the feelings of those involved and are eager to discuss and even exaggerate the matter.

Some of these people, you can’t even say they have malicious intent. They’re just mindlessly following the crowd, chasing excitement, being used, or actively participating as accomplices. They don’t consider how their behavior impacts the people involved.

Human words, thin as two-layered skin, are cold and superficial, helpless.

Now that Lian Shouyi is driven to a suicide attempt, everyone changes their tune and rediscover their "conscience."

Lian Manman sighed, this world is like this, with night comes day, with clouds comes sunshine. There are people who mocked and doubted Lian Shouli after the incident, saying irresponsible nonsense, but there’re also those who earnestly save the suicidal Lian Shouli. Regardless of whether it’s after the incident or now, some people still hold a fair and kind heart in viewing and judging this matter.

Meanwhile, Lian Manman also thought of herself.

Despite many shortcomings, to be fair, Lian Shouli is a kind-hearted honest man. His living environment created his timid personality. Many times, Lian Manman was very dissatisfied with some of Lian Shouli’s behavior. However, no matter how, Lian Shouli was innocent, he shouldn’t be treated like this, he shouldn’t end like this.

Lian Shouli is a victim. Although Lian Manman is angry at his inability to stand up, she cannot let the situation worsen, allowing the wrongdoers to get away.

Justice must be sought for Lian Shouli, for Lady Zhao, and for Lian Yeye.

Even if Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao are weak and incompetent to the point of being speechless, justice is called justice because it is universal, focusing on the matter not the person.

Everyone carried Lian Shouli into the old house of the Lian Family.

Almost everyone in the old house came out of the rooms. Seeing Lian Shouli being carried by the crowd, Lian Shouxin and others looked pale, Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye sobbed uncontrollably, Lady Zhou supported herself on the door frame, standing at the entrance of the Upper Room, her face looking ashen.

Lady He, Wife of He Laoliu, and several others stood at the entrance of the east wing room. Seeing this scene, Wife of He Laoliu led three children quietly into the east wing room.

Old Master Lian walked to the main entrance, seemingly heading towards the river. Seeing this situation, Old Master Lian staggered. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Old Three, how’s Old Three?" Old Master Lian stepped forward to see Lian Shouli and asked in a trembling voice.

Amidst the chaos, Lian Shouli was carried into the West Wing Room, the head long-term worker from Lian Manman’s family, Da Li, quickly ran with a large blue mule, carrying Doctor Li on the mule’s back. Doctor Li had gone to Zhao Family Village to drink wine today, so Wu Lang had Da Li bring him back with the blue mule.

With the doctor arrived, everyone stepped back. Wu Yugui helped maintain order, leaving only a few people inside, while asking others to temporarily leave to avoid disturbing the rescue of Lian Shouyi.

Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou were advised to return inside the Upper Room to wait for further news.

Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang entered the West Wing Room, staying inside, while Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye were naturally in the room too. Lady Zhang, Lady Wu Wang, Lian Manman, Xiao Qi, and Zhang Caiyun stood in the courtyard.

"Fourth Aunt, cousin aunt, it’s cold outside. Go inside and sit," Lady Chiang came over from somewhere and said to Lady Zhang and Lady Wu Wang, "There’re many people in the east room, we heated our kang bed, it’s still warm... See how cold the kids are."

"Sister-in-law, we’re just standing here, not cold," said Lian Manman.

"Wife of Jizu, go handle your business, don’t worry about us. We’re fine here," said Lady Zhang.

Lady Chiang urged for a while and seeing everyone focused on the West Wing Room, did not persist further.

"Today the lady of the main wife is free, my second aunt doesn’t care about her?" Lady Wu Wang glanced at Lady Gu and asked Lady Zhang in a low voice.

Lady Zhang glanced at Lady Gu, then quickly looked away.

"Who knows, given the situation, probably cannot bother," Lady Zhang also said quietly.

"At that time in the room, she even said it was the Old Lady’s order for her to watch over Third Sister-in-law," said Lady Wu Wang.
