Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 195 - 102 Meat Stews in the Pot_1

Chapter 195: Chapter 102 Meat Stews in the Pot_1
Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi’s voices could be heard at the entrance, both seeming very angry.
"Talking about a house, always about the house," Lian Shouxin frowned. He still didn’t know about the matter with the house in town.
"Didn’t his uncle’s family rent a house in town? It’s..." Lady Zhang busily repeated what Lian Manman had told her to Lian Shouxin.
"Ah?!"
Lian Shouxin had originally planned to go to the Upper Room to mediate, but after hearing what Lady Zhang said, he automatically turned around and walked into his own house. The family entered the West Wing Room, just as Lian Shouli came out.
"Old Fourth, let’s see what’s going on between big brother and second brother," Lian Shouli said to Lian Shouxin. He had been listening in the room for a while, at first thinking that the close relationship between Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi meant a minor verbal spat was nothing serious, but as their argument grew fiercer, he decided to come out.
"Third brother, you go ahead and check. I’ll come after putting down my things," Lian Shouxin replied.
Lian Shouli, being honest, agreed and then went toward the Upper Room.
After the family had put away their things neatly, Lian Shouxin didn’t head to the Upper Room but instead sat down in the inner room.
"His father?" Lady Zhang asked Lian Shouxin, somewhat puzzled.
"Other matters we can discuss, but as for the house, big brother and second brother will definitely not want us to interfere," Lian Shouxin said gloomily, "We’ve already split from the family, it is only right that third brother should be informed."
When it came to property, both Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi would definitely not want Lian Shouxin to have a share. With such an attitude, Lian Shouxin wouldn’t argue over it. However, as Lian Shouli’s household had not yet separated, he should be informed about the property matters and also have a share.
Lian Manman silently nodded to herself, Lian Shouxin might be nicknamed "Bun," but he wasn’t without schemes in his heart.
The family just sat there, listening to the fluctuating voices of Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi from the Upper Room, Lian Shouli’s attempts at pacifying them, then Lady He’s voice and Lady Gu’s sobbing joining in. Following that, there was a loud crash, and then, silence.
As Lian Manman was wondering what had happened, she heard footsteps outside, and Lian Xiuxiu lifted the door curtain and stepped one foot inside, leaving the other still outside.
"Old Fourth, father is calling you to the Upper Room," Lian Xiuxiu said and then promptly turned and left.
Old Master Lian was also at home, indicating that the disagreement between Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi had escalated to the point of also involving Old Master Lian. With Lian Shouxin being called over, it was uncertain how the matter would be settled.
"Since father is calling, I will go and see," Lian Shouxin stood up and said.
"Father didn’t call me, so I won’t go," Lady Zhang said, "Your father, we won’t fight over that house, and when you’re there, speak less as well."
"Mhm, I know," Lian Shouxin nodded.
"Dad, I’ll go with you," Lian Manman jumped down from the edge of the kang.
"I’ll go too," Xiao Qi said, seeing that Lian Manman was going, wanting to tag along as the little tail.
The three of them then headed off to the Upper Room.
In the Upper Room East Room, Old Master Lian sat at the head of the kang, with a dry tobacco pipe in his hand, smoking with his head lowered. Lady Zhou and Lian Xiuxiu sat in the middle of the kang. Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi, both flushed, were seated apart from each other with Lian Shouli between them on the edge of the kang, followed by Lady He and Lady Gu also sitting far away on the edge of the kang-head. Lian Jizu sat with his head bowed on a long bench, while Erlang, Sanlang, Si Lang, and Liulang from the second household were seated on two other long benches.
Upon entering the room, Lian Manman immediately felt the tense atmosphere.
"Old Fourth, you can sit here," Lian Jizu saw Lian Shouxin coming in and shifted to one side of the long bench.
"Old Fourth, you sit here," Sanlang stood up, offering his seat on Erlang’s bench to Lian Shouxin.
Lian Shouren gave a grunt and looked around, but didn’t move his feet.
Lian Manman quickly grabbed Xiao Qi and brought another long bench, placing it below the kangette in front of Old Master Lian.
"Dad, we’ll sit next to grandfather," Lian Manman pulled Lian Shouxin over.
Lian Shouxin, pleased with his daughter and son’s quick thinking, smiled and the three of them sat down on the bench.
The room fell back into the silence it had before Lian Shouxin arrived.
"What happened, let’s hear it," Old Master Lian seemed to have finally had enough smoke and spoke up.
"Father, this is what happened," Lady He quickly stood up, seizing the chance to recount how she discovered that the house in town was purchased by Lian Shouren. "This really confirms that saying, ’good things come in pairs.’ Me and Erlang have found Duoduo, and coincidentally, that house is also ours, the deed is right in big sister-in-law’s hands, haha."
