Reborn as a Landlord

Chapter 1925: Chapter 981: A Clever Decision (2)

"You arrange it." Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang both nodded.

At this moment, Lady Zhang glanced at Lian Manman, and Lian Manman understood, nodding softly to Lady Zhang.

"Jizu’s wife came and told me something else." Lady Zhang said.

"What else?" Lian Shouxin asked. At this point, he understood completely that between Lian Jizu and Lady Chiang, Lady Chiang was the one in charge. Lian Jizu was equivalent to a hands-off shopkeeper, not caring about anything.

"It’s about the old madam." Lady Zhang then told Lian Shouxin about the strange behaviors of Lady Zhou as reported by Lady Chiang. However, Lady Zhang did not mention the insults of Lady Zhou towards Da Niuniu, nor did she say that Lady Chiang and Da Niuniu cried here in grievance. Lady Zhang also didn’t bring up the issue about Old Madam Zhao nor the tales of being deprived of souls and extending longevity. These matters, Lady Zhang planned to discuss slowly with Lian Shouxin when it was just the two of them.

Lian Shouxin listened to Lady Zhang’s words and remained silent for a long time.

Lady Zhang, Wu Lang, and Lian Manman also kept quiet. Many of Lady Zhou’s behaviors were abnormal, but Lian Shouxin was her son. Although now estranged from Lady Zhou, his feelings towards her could never be underestimated at any time. Some words, some matters, needed to be figured out by Lian Shouxin himself; others, including his close family, couldn’t directly comment.

Until dinner time, Lian Shouxin didn’t speak, and everyone acted as if they had forgotten the matter, with no one mentioning it at all.

Since Lian Jizu and Lady Chiang stayed for half a day, by the time the family finished dinner, night had completely fallen. Someone came to report that Erlang, Luo Xiaoyan, and Luo Xiaoying had arrived.

"Seems like a decision has been made." Lian Manman said.

"I’ll go to Manman’s room, it’s quiet there, I’ll do some needlework." Lady Li took her sewing and went to the west room. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"You three, go to the study to do your homework." Wu Lang said to Xiao Qi, Xiao Long, and Xiao Hu, while he and Lian Shouxin headed to the front courtyard to meet Erlang and Luo Xiaoying in the front hall.

As for Luo Xiaoyan, she was invited to the back courtyard.

"Fourth Aunt, I’ve made up my mind." When Luo Xiaoyan arrived at Lady Zhang’s room, after exchanging greetings and sitting down, she said directly, "I’ve discussed with my parents and my siblings. The marriage with the Wang Family is off!"

As a woman, Luo Xiaoyan has managed to sustain the Luo Family and brought them to today’s situation, partly because she’s indeed strong and capable of working, and on the other hand, which is equally important, is her strong character.

Luo Xiaoyan is a decisive person.

"So soon!" Lady Zhang was startled; considering the enthusiasm of Luo’s parents for this marriage, and Luo Xiaoying’s personality, Lady Zhang thought it would take several days of bargaining on the Luo side to reach a result.

"Have you all discussed it?" Lady Zhang asked Luo Xiaoyan, "Do your parents agree? Have you convinced your siblings?"

"Rest assured, Fourth Aunt, we’ve all discussed it. My siblings, I’ve convinced them too." Luo Xiaoyan confirmed.

"Marriage is a major affair; it cannot be forced." Lady Zhang added.

"I understand. This matter, we did rush it a bit. My sibling has been talking about marriage for two years but hasn’t succeeded. Seeing his age now, we reflected that such a person cannot be supported by us. My sibling needs someone who can support him and help him establish a household in the future." Luo Xiaoyan said.

From how Luo Xiaoyan spoke, it was evident she had truly thought it through. It’s clear she knows Luo Xiaoying’s nature and understands what kind of wife the Luo Family and Luo Xiaoying truly need, which would be beneficial for their future life.

"That’s how life is." Lady Zhang said. Everyone has beautiful dreams when young, but eventually, reality requires compromise. It’s the helplessness of survival; it’s also the wisdom of survival.

Luo Xiaoyan has painstakingly supported the family business over the years; no one understands these things better than her. Agreeing to the Wang Family marriage for Luo Xiaoying was honestly a momentary impulse clouding judgment. So when she sorted it out, her opposition was most resolute.

Once Luo Xiaoyan stood firmly against it, the Luo parents and Luo Xiaoying had no choice but to give up.

Meanwhile, in the front hall of the front courtyard, Luo Xiaoying knelt before Lian Shouxin.

"What are you doing, why kneel like this?" Lian Shouxin hurriedly had someone help Luo Xiaoying up.

"Fourth Uncle, we need you and Fourth Aunt’s help for something." Erlang stood and said to Lian Shouxin.

"What is it?" Lian Shouxin asked.

"...Seeking Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt’s help to find a modest, diligent girl in the estate to arrange a match for Xiaoying." Erlang also knelt down with a thump.

...

"...As for the Wang Family, we’ll drop it. He’s of age now and wants to settle the marriage early. We’re asking to find a girl from a local tenant family in Luo Family Village, who is suitable in age, to mediate the match for him. Said he’s not picky about looks, just wants someone capable who can manage a household, be kind, and filial to elders." After sending away Erlang, Luo Xiaoyan, and Luo Xiaoying, returning to the back courtyard, Lian Shouxin told Lady Zhang.

"Erlang’s wife mentioned it too." Lady Zhang nodded and said.

"Dad, did you agree?" Lian Manman asked Lian Shouxin.

"I didn’t say definitely, just let them go back and wait for news." Lian Shouxin said, "This matter, don’t I have to discuss it with you all? How can I decide unilaterally?"

"Can we agree to this?" Lian Shouxin asked.
