Reborn as a Landlord
Chapter 1867 - 952: Every Creature Meets Its Match
Lian Yeye finished speaking and giggled twice.
For someone like Lady Zhou, this kind of response must be said to be extremely wise. No matter how much Lady Zhou cursed, she couldn’t really damage anyone. Lady Zhou could only tire herself out, constantly showcasing her own ugliness and malice in front of everyone.
However, Lady Zhou is different from others; she never finds cursing tiring. To Lady Zhou, cursing is simply a necessity of life. Without cursing, she’d rather die!
The world is big and full of wonders, and people like Lady Zhou exist.
"I’m not saying this, but people with such personalities are truly rare," Lady Li said. Lady Li is a very reserved and well-mannered woman; she rarely criticizes Lady Zhou. Even when she does, her words are quite tactful. If it were someone else, they might harshly criticize Lady Zhou.
"With the life she leads now, she really doesn’t need to worry about anything; she just enjoys leisure. If it were an ordinary person, they’d be joyful every day without a hint of anger, and even if you asked them to curse, they wouldn’t. That’s just her nature, a nature like that is rare; who knows the reason,"
"She has a cursing sickness; if she doesn’t curse, her mouth itches, and she’d die," Lian Yeye said.
This was naturally a joke.
"If it were really an illness, she wouldn’t pick whom to curse; she should curse Lian Jizu too," Lian Manman said, "She knows very clearly in her heart who she can curse and who she cannot."
Lady Zhou is very tough around Lian Shouren, but even then, she cannot offend everyone. So, she always gives face to Lian Jizu and Lady Chiang, only cursing Lian Shouren. It must be said, Lady Zhou is very willful in her own house and yard, but also very calculating.
"Does the old lady curse the First Master? Does the First Master talk back?" Lady Zhang asked.
"I haven’t seen him talk back."
"Haven’t heard anyone say he talks back."
Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye both said.
"If the Old Lian Family were to argue or curse, it would only be the Second Master. Other people, including our own side, don’t need to be mentioned; the First Master’s side isn’t good at it," Lady Zhang said.
Lady Zhang’s words were true; in the Lian Family, only Lian Shouyi received true transmission from Lady Zhou, and others completely lack such talent. As for Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin, they even consider such things shameful.
"Apart from the old lady cursing, everything else is okay over there?" Lian Manman asked Lian Yeye.
"Yeah, there’s nothing else. Now that it’s cold, they don’t have much work, so they’re usually at home, don’t go out much, except for the eldest sister-in-law who sometimes takes Da Niuniu out to visit and chat a bit. Life is quite peaceful," Lian Yeye said, "Most of the cursing stories are told by the eldest sister-in-law to us."
"The old lady let Jizu’s wife go out?" Lady Zhang asked.
"She can’t keep her inside the house all the time," Lian Yeye said, "But she’s still in control. You have to tell her to get permission to go out. She nods, then you can go out. Every time there’s a time limit. Once the time is up, she sends Lian Yaya out to find her."
Lady Zhou still kept the old rules, tightly controlling the family, especially the daughters-in-law.
"Jizu’s wife wouldn’t dare exceed the time limit, and the old lady wouldn’t lower her face to criticize her now, but if she takes too long, going back will be enough for her when the old lady pulls a long face," Lady Zhao said.
"There are quite a few mothers-in-law in the village, but like her, not just in the village, the entire town, even the entire county, there are few who act like her," Lady Zhang thought about the past days and said emotionally.
"She treats us like thieves," Lady Zhao nodded, echoing softly.
"Ah," the two sisters-in-law sighed together, then breathed a sigh of relief, "At last, we got through it."
The presence of Lady Zhou, and the life of Lian Shouren’s side, always reminded Lady Zhang and Lady Zhao of the past days, then looking at the present, they felt life now was really comfortable.
With this comparison, all problems seemed to fade. Now is the time of happiness; living each day is enjoying blessings.
"How are the Second Master’s couple?" Lady Zhang asked again.
"This is really ’something overcomes something else,’" Lady Li laughed from the side first.
Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye also laughed.
Lian Zhizhi once mentioned in a letter that Lian Shouyi no longer gambled now. The steward from home who went to Prefecture City also reported that Lian Shouyi and Lady He, living in Luo Family Village, were quite peaceful now, not causing trouble anymore.
And all this was reportedly thanks to Luo Xiaoyan.
