Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1576 - 802: Can This Marriage Work? (Part 2)

"If Yin Suo really enters the house, won’t she just become another Zhao Xiue?" Lian Manman said.

"That’s exactly what it is." Everyone looked at Lian Manman and then nodded in agreement.

"I was just thinking about it, how did Second Master’s couple fancy Yin Suo, and why does this seem so awkward? Now that Manman has mentioned it, I understand. It’s just another Zhao Xiue. This couple of the Second Master, apparently, never gets enough of this kind of thing!"

What kind of person is Yin Suo? There’s no way Lian Shouyi and Lady He wouldn’t know. But why are this couple insisting on Yin Suo for Si Lang?

Si Lang is at the age to talk about marriage, but the old house is famous in this ten-mile eight-village area, and Lian Shouyi and Lady He are also famous figures, not to mention Si Lang himself.

It’s not easy for Si Lang to marry a wife, and so far, no one has come forward with a proposal for him.

"They probably see clearly that Old Master and the old lady definitely won’t spend a lot of money to find a wife for Si Lang. So this marriage of Si Lang’s becomes even harder. If it’s about Yin Suo, this kinship turns familiar, and this matter becomes easier to talk about.... I guess they’ve also taken a fancy to Yin Suo’s dowry." Lian Shouxin said slowly.

The Lian Lanlan family has accumulated wealth over generations, and having run a general store for years, their household must have some savings. Especially in the eyes of Lian Shouyi and Lady He, the Lian Lanlan family is a wealthy household. Lian Lanlan also loves her daughter, so the dowry wouldn’t be small at that time.

And that’s why Lian Manman would say Yin Suo would be another Zhao Xiue.

To put it bluntly, when Lian Shouyi and Lady He find a wife for their son, the first thing they look at is the girl’s family situation and dowry. Looking at Erlang and Zhao Xiue’s marriage, and Sanlang being taken as a son-in-law, you can tell what this couple’s plan is when handling their children’s marriages.

Lian Shouyi and Lady He have a good plan, and perhaps Si Lang also fancies Yin Suo, but unfortunately, Lian Lanlan over there disagrees.

And there is no room for negotiation. Seeing how Lian Lanlan didn’t even eat lunch before taking Yin Suo back to the county, you can see Lian Lanlan’s attitude.

"The old lady even had a quarrel with Second Master, siding with the city side..." Lady Zhang told Lian Shouxin.

"Did Old Master say anything?" Lian Shouxin seemed indifferent to Lady Zhou’s attitude and instead asked about Old Master Lian.

"My grandpa seems to have kept silent." Lian Manman responded.

"Oh." Lian Shouxin seemed pensive.

"The old lady is siding with the city side, and since Old Master hasn’t spoken, then I guess... the city side is unwilling, and knowing Old Master, he definitely won’t force the city side, so this marriage still won’t work." After thinking a bit, Lian Shouxin said.

Old Master Lian is a person who has different attitudes and standards for family and outsiders. He can suppress family members, making them suffer grievances, but he will never force outsiders to accommodate him. Yin Suo has a father, and after Lian Lanlan married off, she’s basically someone else’s family.

While the family was talking, Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye came in. Seeing Lian Yeye’s excited demeanor as she entered, Lian Manman knew that Lian Yeye had some new news to share.

Sure enough, as soon as Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye spoke, they asked if everyone knew about the commotion in the old house over the marriage of Si Lang and Yin Suo.

"Yes, I know." Lian Manman replied.

Lian Shouxin, Wu Lang, and Xiao Qi were relatively quiet, but the rest, starting with Lady Zhang and Lady Zhao, followed by Lian Manman and Lian Yeye, all started chattering and whispering.

Women are naturally sensitive and interested in such topics.

Even straightforward Lady Zhao and kind Lady Zhang couldn’t escape this nature of women.

Unlike Lian Manman, Lian Yeye had been to the old house today with Lian Shouli, and earlier, Lady He had sat at her place for a while.

"This matter isn’t just being brought up today. Second Master’s couple have had this idea for a long time; they even mentioned it to us and hinted at it in front of Old Master and the old lady." Lady Zhao said, "I heard that the old lady immediately rejected it, and Old Master didn’t agree either."

"Then why did Second Master and his wife bring it up again today?" Lady Zhang wondered aloud.

But after asking, Lady Zhang didn’t expect an answer. Most people might give up at this point, but you can’t measure Lian Shouyi and Lady He by the standards of most people.

"Si Lang has been staying there for a few days, plus now he’s working at the shop, it’s different from before." Lady Zhao said.

"That’s what Yaya’s mother said." Lian Yeye immediately added.

"Aunt Si, let me tell you, just now Yaya’s mother sat on our kang, and what she said, oh my..." Lady Zhao lowered her voice, speaking to Lady Zhang, her face showing a rather complicated expression.

Lian Yeye, beside her, stayed silent.

"What did she say, something unpleasant?" Lady Zhang asked.

"... She said that the wages Si Lang earned these days haven’t brought home a single Wen Money but were spent on Yin Suo, buying her food and other things, and even said Yin Suo asked Si Lang for things. She said it so... so... I heard from her implies she’s planning to spread these stories around..." Lady Zhao blinked at Lady Zhang.

Lady Zhang was first shocked, then it dawned on her.

Lian Manman, who was also listening nearby, understood as well.

Lian Shouyi and Lady He had a good scheme — if the marriage proposal failed, they planned to spread rumors everywhere, ruining Yin Suo’s reputation to force her to marry Si Lang! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I guess this was planned all along." Lady Zhang said, "That couple, they usually love to visit neighbors, can enter any door, and if they start spreading this in the streets, oh my, this issue could reach the county by tomorrow."

Words from people can be terrifying, and a marriage that everyone thought was impossible now had a twist.
