Reborn as a Landlord

"She’s not like us honest folks, saying what she means. Her words are not reliable," Lady Zhang said somewhat carelessly.

"Too cunning, seizing every opportunity..." Lady Wu Wang sighed.

"Mother, Auntie." Lian Manman looked around and quietly discussed with Lady Zhang and Lady Wu Wang, "... My third uncle’s wife has probably lost her mind, and Yeye is still young, hasn’t been through much. Now my third uncle is inside, life hanging by a thread, we can’t let the wife of He Laoliu get off so easily."

As Lian Manman spoke, she pointed towards the East Wing Room. Earlier, when she entered, she saw the wife of He Laoliu hiding there with her children.

"Right, how did we forget about her. She wants to hide, but she can’t escape," Lady Wu Wang said. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

They didn’t lower their voices while speaking, so some people nearby who hadn’t left heard, and they all agreed.

Lian Manman gave Xiao Fu a signal.

Xiao Fu brought people over, pushed aside Lady He who tried to block them, and broke into the East Wing Room. In no time, they dragged out the wife of He Laoliu and others, lining them up to kneel in the courtyard.

"Better start praying. If anything bad happens to him, you all will have to atone with your lives," someone said.

"At this point, you’ve already driven a person to jump into the icy hole, the person is in such a state, Widow He, you still won’t speak the truth? Aren’t you afraid of facing the Underworld?" Lady Wu Wang said.

The crowd echoed.

The wife of He Laoliu was already white as a sheet.

"Me, by heaven and earth, I didn’t plan to drive Lian Shouli to death. I’m also in a bind, my family has several mouths to feed, we need a place to live and food to eat. I’m a widow without a job, what can I do? This Lian Shouli, he’s quite good, his wife couldn’t bear a son. We teamed up to make a living, he provided, and I gave him a son."

"Just say whether you falsely accused him," Lady Wu Wang said impatiently.

"I just wanted to team up with him to make a living, I didn’t mean to drive him to death. He’s a big man, what’s the big deal, nothing happened, he slept like a log..." The wife of He Laoliu stammered.

"You’re really lacking virtue. Do you think everyone is like you, shameless, treating your face like the sole of a shoe?" Lady Wu Wang said disdainfully.

Hearing that the wife of He Laoliu falsely accused Lian Shouli, everyone didn’t want to deal with her anymore, only focusing on waiting for news from the West Wing Room.

After a while, Doctor Li came out accompanied by Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang, and from the house came the sobbing sounds of Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye.

"How’s their third uncle?" Everyone gathered around anxiously asking.

"I’ll go make a prescription, try a few doses of medicine," Doctor Li said.

Wu Lang then asked Xiao Fu and the long-term worker Da Li to escort Doctor Li back and get the prescription and medicine.

"His life is saved, but the cold has entered his lungs and he’ll need to recuperate..." Lian Shouxin briefly told Lady Zhang about Lian Shouli’s condition.

"This cold winter is no joking matter, it’s really... " Lady Zhang and Lady Wu Wang sighed.

"How is Old Three?" In the Upper Room, Old Master Lian, hearing the commotion, shouted.

"His life is saved," Lian Shouxin replied.

"Oh my son..." From the Upper Room came a wail from Lady Zhou.

Immediately after, Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou came out of the Upper Room and, surrounded by the crowd, went into the West Wing Room. The West Wing Room couldn’t accommodate everyone, so Lady Zhang, Lady Wu Wang, and Lian Manman stayed in the courtyard.

After a while, Lian Yeye came out of the room with red and swollen eyes.

"Yeye..." Lian Manman hurried over to meet her, holding Lian Yeye’s hand.

Even staying inside, Lian Yeye’s hand was still cold.

"Yeye, try to be open-minded," Lian Manman gently advised Lian Yeye, "My brother went to get medicine for Uncle. Doctor Li said that Uncle is strong, after a few doses he will be well."

"Just now I asked He Laoliu’s wife, she admitted to falsely accusing Uncle," Lian Manman said as she saw Lian Yeye looking at He Laoliu’s wife and the others, "Now they’re kneeling there. Yeye, if you want to let off steam, go ahead, we’re all here."

Lian Yeye, already furious looking at He Laoliu’s wife, immediately rushed over and started hitting and kicking her.

"You falsely accused my father, schemed against us, almost killed my father, almost destroyed my family."

Under everyone’s gaze, the wife of He Laoliu dared not fight back, only trying to protect her head and face, but Lian Yeye still scratched her face.

"Get out, get all of you out, from now on you’re not allowed in our home." Lian Yeye, exhausted from hitting, stopped and cried out angrily.

After such an event, the He family couldn’t stay any longer. As for waiting until spring when it’s warmer or that it was night, snowing, who would listen to that. This was the wife of He Laoliu’s own doing, she couldn’t blame anyone.

"Give them a beating, drive them out, out of our village," Wu Lang instructed Xiao Fu and several long-term workers.

"Get as far away as you can, let us never see you again. If you dare step into our village again, we’ll break your legs!"

After driving away the wife of He Laoliu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, Old Three, you want to build a house and move out? Why move, we’ve already kicked out the wife of He Laoliu?" From the West Wing Room came the voice of Lady Zhou.

"Sister Manman, my father just said, we’ll immediately find a plot, build a house, and not live here anymore," Lian Yeye said to Lian Manman.
