Reborn as a Landlord

To say nothing else, Lian Manman knew this answer was absolutely "unfortunate" for Lian Yeye and Lady Zhao. Staying at the old mansion, perhaps Lian Shouli might still receive some "motherly love" and "familial affection," but all Lian Yeye and Lady Zhao could get was to walk back on the old path.

Lady Zhou’s character determined everything. Facing the crisis now, Lady Zhou wouldn’t do much to Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye. Once the crisis is resolved, that is after Lady Zhou has fully controlled Lian Shouli with confidence, she would trample on Lian Yeye and Lady Zhao even more than before.

A wife who cannot bear sons, with a weak personality and no natal family, and a "money-wasting" girl who would eventually be someone else’s maid. In Lady Zhou’s mind, she never regarded them as family or junior members. Lian Manman could even feel that Lady Zhou deeply despised Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye.

"Yeye, if you can’t move out this time, in the future, you can completely forget about moving," Lian Manman told Lian Yeye.

And if that’s the case, Lian Yeye might still have hope to escape Lady Zhou’s control one day after marriage, but Lady Zhao would be mud under Lady Zhou’s feet for her entire life, never able to turn over.

"No, I can’t let my mother bow and scrape all her life," Lian Yeye said with some intensity.

Lian Manman nodded and thought to herself, no matter what Lady Zhao is like, having a daughter like Lian Yeye is her good fortune.

"Since that’s the case, you must move out this time. Yeye..." Lian Manman lowered her voice and spoke to Lian Yeye for a while and finally said, "Even if they agree to let you move, if they say to wait, you must not wait. Yeye, do you understand?"

"Strike while the iron is hot," Xiao Qi insightfully chimed in with a scholarly phrase.

Lian Yeye nodded and clenched her fists.

After discussing at home for a while, Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang stood up. Lian Manman also changed into her coat, took Xiao Qi, along with Xiao Xi and Xiao Fu, and went to the old mansion with Lian Yeye.

Old Master Lian didn’t say she should come, but this was a significant matter in Lian Yeye’s life, concerning her future happiness, so Lian Manman had to come and support Lian Yeye.

...

Lian Family Old Mansion, Upper Room East Room

The room was almost full of people.

Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou still sat at the head of the bed. Not far from them sat Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao. In Lian Manman’s memory, this was the first time she saw Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao sitting in this position. These two also seemed unfamiliar with this position. Although sitting there, they showed obvious discomfort.

Lian Manman pulled Xiao Qi and Lian Yeye to sit on the edge of the bed. Lady Zhou still took out the small cushion she made, giving it to Lian Manman.

Lady Gu, Lian Duoduo, and Lian Yaya had no place in the room, and Lady Chiang was still walking in and out, serving tea and water.

All other members of the Lian Family, whether sitting or squatting, gathered in this room.

Old Master Lian had been scolding Lian Shouyi and Lady He for half a day, but he did not clearly state that these two, along with the Wife of He Laoliu, conspired against Lian Shouli, only scolding them for being muddle-headed, turning their elbows outward.

Lian Manman listened absentmindedly, even having no interest in punishing Lian Shouyi and Lady He.

Finally, Old Master Lian had Lian Shouyi and Lady He apologize to Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao.

"Dad, I came a bit late to this matter. I heard the child’s mother making noise, and saw Old Three and Wife of Laoliu like this..., I didn’t think much. Now that everything is clear, and the person has been driven away, Old Three has nothing wrong. Our cloud has cleared. Dad asks me to apologize to Old Three, so I apologize." Lian Shouyi spoke nonchalantly.

"I, I was also muddle-headed, why didn’t I trust Third Uncle, just trusted Wife of Laoliu. I also apologize to Third Uncle." Lady He said as well.

"What use is an apology? My dad almost died," Lian Yeye shouted, "Does he treat my dad as a brother? Treat me as a niece? You think we don’t know your intentions. If my dad didn’t seek death, you’d have forced him to marry Wife of Laoliu, making a warm family, forcing my mother and me to death. Anyway, you just want to force us to death."

Old Master Lian sitting on the bed frowned.

Regarding this matter, Old Master Lian was also very dissatisfied with Lian Shouyi and Lady He. Especially Lady He, Old Master Lian now resented almost anything related to the name He from the heart. However, Lian Yeye was so blunt, directly targeting Lian Shouyi, which made Old Master Lian a little uncomfortable.

In Old Master Lian’s eyes, no matter what, Lian Shouyi was Lian Yeye’s second uncle, Lian Shouli’s brother. In a family, even if the arm breaks, it should be tucked inside the sleeve. He is also for the good of the big family, to keep the peace.

He was already mediating, and Lian Shouyi and Lady He both agreed to apologize to Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao. Lian Yeye should listen properly and follow the elders’ arrangement. "Resemble who you are with. Yeye, this girl is not as obedient as before, and not tolerant," Old Master Lian glanced at Lian Manman and Lian Yeye from the corner of his eye and thought secretly.

"What a fake apology. We don’t need it," Lian Yeye said another sentence, then jumped off the bed, and left without looking back.

Lian Manman did not stop Lian Yeye.

After Lian Yeye left, Lian Shouyi was still a bit dissatisfied, wanted to say something, but Old Master Lian glared at him to make him stop. Then, Old Master Lian had Lian Shouyi and Lady He apologize to Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao.

Lian Shouli and Lady Zhao were not good speakers, so they didn’t say much.

"Two idiots, don’t bother with him," Old Master Lian then said, seeing no one had anything else to say, continued, "Old Three, Old Three’s wife, regarding this matter, take it as family understanding, I am aware. For the family, we speak as one; let this be over. If Old Two messes up again, I won’t forgive him."

"Dad, I dare not," Lian Shouyi said.

Old Master Lian glared at Lian Shouyi, then sighed again.

"One more thing, Old Three, about your talk of moving yesterday. I understand it was out of anger. As for letting you leave bare-handed back then, I never really meant it. Those few West Wing Rooms, they are yours,... What’s that noise outside?"

Hearing the strange sounds from the yard, everyone walked out from the room.

Outside the West Wing Room window, Lian Yeye was standing on a stool, axe in hand, used by Lian Shouli for carpentry, fiercely chopping at the West Wing Room window.
