Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1560 - 793: Family Bonds (2)

This kind of blood ties and familial affection is the warmest thing in the world. Being connected by blood and living together, it’s impossible to have only pain and suffering; there will inevitably be some warmth. And in the relationship between the Lian Manman family and the old house, Lian Shouxin is undoubtedly the one who enjoys the most warmth.... Before Lady Zhang married into the Lian Family, before Lian Manman and the other children were born into this world, in places unseen by them.

Lian Shouxin’s feelings towards the old house can’t be completely identical to Lady Zhang’s and the children’s feelings.

However, we cannot say that Lian Shouxin is lucky or happy. He is even more troubled than his wife and children. Because what Lady Zhang and the children can afford to disregard, he cannot.

For sometimes, these blood ties can also hurt the most. Because when such close relatives hurt you, it pains you the most. Yet everyone grows old, everyone faces their end one day. When she grows old, seeing her frail state, you still won’t bear it. And when she is gone, more often you’ll think of those warm moments, even if there are few, they will be greatly magnified.

Lian Manman dares not say everyone will feel this way, but she is certain, Lian Shouxin will certainly feel this way.

Tangled grievances, love and hate entwined, different people make different choices, but Lian Shouxin never really had other options. This is not determined by objective conditions, but by Lian Shouxin’s character.

"Dad, if you want to go, just go ahead." Lian Manman, Wu Lang, and Xiao Qi exchanged a glance and then spoke to Lian Shouxin.

Even though many facts are before their eyes, even though Lian Shouxin has his complaints and dissatisfaction, the image of Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou in Lian Shouxin’s eyes will never be the same as in the eyes of Lian Manman and others.

For instance, Lian Shouxin’s image in his own children’s eyes must be different from the image others have of him because there is an emotional factor involved.

In a harmonious and happy family, there should not be any unhappy people. Because one person’s unhappiness can spread to others, making everyone less happy.

To fulfill Lian Shouxin’s emotional needs, to ensure he has no regrets in the future, the children decided to let Lian Shouxin do what he wants. After all, the Lian Shouxin of today is not the same as before. The current Lian Shouxin has seen through many things, and he now has principles and boundaries when dealing with the old house, Old Master Lian, and Lady Zhou.

Strive to show filial respect to the elders, but not indulgence without principles; unreasonable matters must not be agreed to.

"Let’s also invite Doctor Li." Lian Manman said. After hearing what Lian Yeye said yesterday, Lian Manman also believed that Old Master Lian really fell ill yesterday.

"Doctor Li went to his daughter’s house these days, reportedly won’t be back until later today." Lady Zhang said, "Doctor Li’s daughter just had another baby boy, I sent a gift.... Doctor Li has certainly helped us with lots of matters."

"Then..." Lian Shouxin said.

"Let’s wait until Doctor Li returns." Wu Lang said, "My grandfather has always been treated by Doctor Li; no one knows better than him, so it’s best for Doctor Li to examine him."

Since Old Master Lian recovered yesterday, and there was no word from Lian Shouyi or Si Lang this morning, plus Old Master Lian was thinking about hinting to Lian Shouxin to send things to Lian Lanlan, it indicated things were already okay, it wouldn’t matter to wait this day or half day.

"Alright then." Lian Shouxin agreed with the children’s sensible reasoning and nodded.

The family discussed things again for a while, then Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang got up to go to Luo Family Village; today they’re collecting the accounts from the village estate, and tomorrow Lian Shouxin is taking some people to the pasture to the west, as planned.

Xiao Qi didn’t tag along to Luo Family Village; Wu Lang arranged coursework for him, so he needs to concentrate on his studies at home.

After Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang left, Lian Manman called several people over to send them out to gather information. She also specially packed a box of snacks for Xiao Qing to deliver to Er Ya’s house.

Soon, those sent out returned, and Xiao Qing reaped a rich harvest.

"...when the maid went, the old lady at the old house was there..." Xiao Qing told Lian Manman.

Lady Zhou happened to visit Er Ya’s house today, and Xiao Qing caught her there.

"...the old lady was talking to Er Ya’s grandmother, saying last night, the old master cried in bed..." Xiao Qing continued.

"Ah?" Lian Manman was taken aback, "Did she say why he cried?"

"She didn’t say." Xiao Qing replied.

Lady Zhou was in a bad mood, that’s why she visited Er Ya’s house and talked with Er Ya’s grandmother to relieve her boredom. When mentioning that Old Master Lian cried last night, Lady Zhou spoke in a dismissive and impatient tone. She somewhat looked down on Old Master Lian, a grown man at his age, yet still "crying like a mouse."

"Did she say if the old master said anything apart from crying?" Lian Manman asked.

"...he seemed to say something about no way out, not being that kind of person, and living in vain..." Xiao Qing responded.

Lian Manman acknowledged with an "oh," sent Xiao Qing away, and instructed Xiao Qing not to mention these words to anyone else. After sending Xiao Qing off, Lian Manman fell into deep thought alone.

Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang had lunch at the estate in Luo Family Village and only returned home later in the afternoon. By this time, Lian Manman had already prepared a heap of things.

"We’ve already sent someone to Doctor Li’s house, and Doctor Li just got back. Dad, as we head towards the old house, we can have someone bring Doctor Li along. These items are prepared by my mom and me for my grandpa and my grandma."

Lian Shouxin found himself grateful and joyful seeing his wife and children being so considerate and having everything organized.

And not long after, the entire family felt very fortunate for the decision Lian Manman made today.
