Reborn as a Landlord

Chapter 1921: Chapter 979: The Plan (3)

As for Lady Zhou, no one could see who she was worried about. Lady Zhou was simply afraid of death because of her own reasons. She was living well and freely now, but she was filled with fear about the world after death, because there were too many people in that world she didn’t want to face.

Understanding the reason behind Lady Zhou taking pills helps one realize that not even if Old Master Lian were resurrected, or immortals descended, could Lady Zhou’s hobby be changed.

"Is Jizu still the one buying medicine for the old lady?" Lady Zhang asked Lady Chiang again.

"We don’t let him go anymore; we have Yaya go, with Niuniu accompanying her," said Lady Chiang.

"Oh..." Lady Zhang responded, exchanging a glance with Lian Manman. Lady Zhou was a deeply suspicious person. Currently, the person she trusted the most was Lian Yaya; everyone else had to take a back seat.

"Earlier, I heard sister-in-law say that the old lady keeps taking those pills and they don’t seem to help much. It’s better to have a doctor come for a proper check-up, maybe get a prescription, and perhaps she’ll get better," said Lian Manman.

"I said the same thing," Lady Chiang replied, "but the old lady won’t listen. She says we’re cursing her if we mention bringing in a doctor."

"If there’s nothing wrong, just leave it, but if there is, no matter what it is, it has to be treated."

At this point, Lian Manman purposely paused.

"...Even if it’s not a problem that’s a problem, you can’t just ignore it. Sister-in-law, look at how other decent families handle these things and figure it out. We trust you completely," Lian Manman continued, "Just put a little more effort. Like they say, old babies, small babies. Indulging her too much isn’t good. What needs to be managed should be, what needs to be said, must be said."

"That’s true," Lady Zhang chimed in, "Everyone knows what kind of temperament the old lady has, you and your uncle do too. Everyone in the village, the neighbors, they all understand as well. You don’t have to worry about what people might say, do what’s right; say and do what needs to be said."

Lady Chiang nodded in agreement, understanding a bit more in her heart.

The three of them chatted a bit longer, and Lian Manman deliberately changed the subject, not bringing up Lady Zhou anymore.

"Auntie, there’s another matter I need to discuss with you," suddenly said Lady Chiang.

"What is it? Just say it," replied Lady Zhang.

"...There’s a businessman in town who wants to rent a house. They heard there’s an empty house in our family and asked me about it," Lady Chiang told Lady Zhang, "There’re four rooms in the West Wing Room, storing things that don’t take up that much space... I was just thinking, whether uncle or you, whether our family leaves it empty or someone lives there, uncle and aunt surely have no objection; but if renting it out makes uncle and you uncomfortable, I worry about that."

"There’s nothing to mind about that," laughed Lady Zhang unconcernedly. "Houses are meant for living in; if they stay empty, they’re still empty. If there are trustworthy people interested in renting, go ahead and rent it out; no need to consider us... you really don’t need to ask me."

Even though they had lived there, they had already given up the house, and neither Lian Shouxin nor Lady Zhang would interfere in what Lady Zhou and Lady Chiang wanted to do with it.

Hearing this from Lady Zhang, Lady Chiang smiled. freeweɓnøvel.com

"...Just those few acres, their yield each year barely suffices to put food on the table. Niuniu’s father... sigh, auntie also knows about your nephew. There are no other sources of income in the family; I thought, renting the house might bring in a few coins monthly, to help the family. Like you said, leaving it empty is pointless," Lady Chiang said with a laugh.

"Discuss it with the old lady. I’m afraid she might mind having outsiders in the courtyard," Lady Zhang replied.

"Of course, I’ll ask auntie first, then go and discuss it with the old lady. If she’s not happy about it, then forget it," nodded Lady Chiang.

"Another thing, check carefully; if they’re decent people, it might prevent any issues from having them live in the same courtyard," added Lady Zhang.

These were considerate words, and Lady Chiang naturally nodded.

"...It’s just a family of four, two adults with two children. Both children are young girls, neat and tidy. They’re known to be honest. Besides, it’s in our village, and they’re outsiders," Lady Chiang said, "but you’ve already thought this through, so it’s all good."

"You’ve considered it all, that’s good," said Lady Zhang.

Lady Chiang exchanged a few more casual words, then, seeing it wasn’t early, prepared to take her leave.

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment," Lian Manman suddenly stopped Lady Chiang.
