Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1582 - 806: Past and Present

Hearing Lian Yeye say that the old family home had come looking for Lian Shouxin again yesterday, Lian Manman couldn’t help but put her hand to her forehead. She thought to herself, it was fortunate that they were visiting the Wu Family in the morning and then Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang went somewhere else in the afternoon. Even Lian Shouli’s family didn’t know where Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang went to visit, otherwise, the people from the old family home might have really found their way there.

When did her family become so important to the old family home? Weren’t they always ignored and looked down upon before? And now, even the smallest matters required their presence.

What use was it to call Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang over? Everything at the old family home was still decided by Old Master Lian. He would never allow anyone to usurp his decision-making power. Their family had offered suggestions before, but what were the results in the end?

Even calling Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang over, for what purpose, now even Lian Shouxin at home could see clearly.

"Did Third Uncle go?" Lian Manman asked Lian Yeye.

"How could he not?" Lian Yeye said with a face full of frustration, "My dad wasn’t willing to go either. He said, after all, what can he do when he goes? Who would he be able to persuade? No one from the old family home listens to what he says anyway. But when Grandpa and Grandma sent someone to call him, he couldn’t not go."

"You went along too then." Lian Manman laughed and said.

"Yeah, I went along. I was afraid they’d bully my dad again or set some trap for him." Lian Yeye said. Lian Yeye had no fondness for the people from the old family home and was also very wary of them.

No one could blame Lian Yeye. The events they experienced before their family broke away were unforgettable for most people.

"...My dad went, but when he got there, no one allowed him to say anything. It was just Grandpa and Yaya’s dad arguing..." Lian Yeye told Lian Manman in detail what had happened at the old family home yesterday.

Chunzhu’s Wife, entrusted with a mission, diligently went to the old family home and, during chit-chat, revealed to Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou the rumors about Yin Suo being spread by Lian Shouyi and Lady He.

Chunzhu’s Wife spoke quite subtly, but as an experienced individual, Old Master Lian immediately sensed something was off. That night, Old Master Lian questioned Lian Shouyi about the matter. Of course, Lian Shouyi firmly denied it.

Old Master Lian warned Lian Shouyi and Lady He a few words and then dismissed the issue. To be fair, Old Master Lian didn’t consider the matter too seriously at that time.

The next day, however, some gossip-loving villagers visited the old family home, casually bringing up Si Lang and Yin Suo and asking Old Master Lian when they could come for the wedding banquet. Old Master Lian was shocked and said there was nothing of the sort, but the gossipers didn’t believe him, saying that everyone already knew about it.

Only then did Old Master Lian realize the seriousness of the situation. Lian Shouyi and Lady He hadn’t just vented in private; they had purposefully spread stories about Si Lang and Yin Suo far and wide. Old Master Lian immediately called Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Si Lang back from their outings.

It took quite an effort to bring these three back, as they had all gone visiting other villages and were not even together.

Once they were back, Old Master Lian exploded in anger, scolding Lian Shouyi and Lady He because once these things spread, they become a scandal, and besides, Lian Lanlan didn’t agree with this marriage at all.

Old Master Lian berated Lian Shouyi for being reckless, disgracing the Lian Family’s reputation.

Lian Shouyi was not convinced, saying he only spoke the truth during his outings and that it was Lian Lanlan and Yin Suo who were mercenary and disregarding kin.

When Lian Shouli arrived, Old Master Lian and Lian Shouyi were still quarreling, each sticking to their own reasoning. Old Master Lian scolded Lian Shouyi for crossing the line, while Lian Shouyi accused Old Master Lian of being partial, even digging up old grievances, and said that Si Lang genuinely liked Yin Suo, imploring Old Master Lian to allow it.

"...Si Lang even knelt down and kowtowed to Grandpa, begging him." Lian Yeye told Lian Manman.

"And what did Grandpa say?" Lian Manman asked.

"Grandpa gritted his teeth and didn’t agree, saying this matter was improper, and the people of the Old Lian Family can’t do such things." Lian Yeye said, "Sister Manman, can you guess what Yaya’s dad said in response to that?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Lian Manman saw from Lian Yeye’s expression that something must have been said by Lian Shouyi that was beyond outrageous.

"What did he say?" Lian Manman eagerly asked.
