Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1595 - 813: Dissatisfaction

Old Master Lian saw him say this, yet Lian Lanlan was still unwilling, and his face became increasingly grim. He straightforwardly asked Lian Lanlan and Luo Baocai what they wanted to happen.

Lian Lanlan paused for a moment and then looked at Luo Baocai. Luo Baocai, who had been hanging his head all this time, also raised his head at this moment. The husband and wife exchanged a glance, and as usual, it was Lian Lanlan who spoke.

"Dad, it’s not that we don’t listen to you, it’s just so distressing, and besides, it’s not a good match." Facing Old Master Lian, Lian Lanlan’s tone and attitude were more gentle than when she faced Lian Shouyi earlier. It seemed she also sensed the change in Old Master Lian’s mood. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

To be able to control her emotions this well in such a situation, one must admit, Lian Lanlan is not an ordinary person. No wonder she was able to control the Luo Family early on and manage it for so many years, making her husband and children obey her commands.

"Ever since this incident, my heart has been in turmoil. What ideas can we possibly have? We only wished it hadn’t happened, but wishful thinking won’t change anything." Lian Lanlan continued, her demeanor clearly indicating she had thought it all through since early morning. "The reputation of an unmarried daughter is crucial; I don’t need to explain it to you two elders. It’s her entire future..."

At this point, Lian Lanlan’s tone was somewhat painful.

"Our Yin Suo, such a good girl, right at the age for talking about marriage. With these rumors spreading, how can any decent family be willing to propose? There was a Landlord’s younger son, about the same age as our Yin Suo, with matching family background and looks... Their ancestors held official positions and own a hundred acres of prime land. That boy himself just passed the scholar examination. It was all pretty much settled, they were supposed to come and offer a betrothal gift in a few days. But when these rumors spread, they immediately changed their minds, saying they had arranged another engagement."

"Now, not to mention such good families, even the first-rate ones look down on Yin Suo. Her life, it’s pretty much ruined... boo hoo hoo..."

"Dad asked us to express our thoughts, but we don’t have many other ideas, it’s just..."

Lian Lanlan rambled on and finally concluded with two demands: one was for the Lian Family to find a way to restore Yin Suo’s reputation, while also punishing Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Si Lang severely, as instructed by Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou. The second demand was for the Lian Family to arrange a good marriage for Yin Suo.

"...At least it can’t be worse than that Landlord’s family..." Lian Lanlan said.

After all, rumors like this, especially of this nature, once spread, do irreparable harm no matter how much one tries to restore it.

People’s reactions to such rumors can be roughly divided into three categories. One category is enthusiastic, they prefer to believe in its existence rather than absence and delight in spreading and exaggerating such rumors. Another category is decent, preferring to believe in its absence rather than existence. They won’t believe easily and they won’t spread it either. Then there’s the third category, which is the majority, people with no strong views of their own, they are passive, go with the flow, and are the ones most easily influenced by these rumors.

Therefore, Yin Suo’s marriage is bound to be affected by these rumors, which is why Lian Lanlan made such demands.

However...

"...Oh come on, you’re boasting too much, aren’t you, just your Yin Suo..." Lian Shouyi listened with some disdain and mocked.

"Shut your mouth!" Lady Zhou glared at Lian Shouyi and stopped him from saying the rest.

"If there’s such a good marriage, it should first go to our Yaya." Lady He retorted.

Indeed, if the Lian Family has such ability to find such a good marriage, naturally it should be arranged for Lian Yaya, why give it to Yin Suo, an outsider.

"This first request, no problem." Old Master Lian pondered for a while and replied, "Let the two of them, husband and wife, go door to door to clarify things for you. As for how to punish those two, feel free to ask."

"Dad, even if they go around clarifying, who will believe them with their mouths?" Lian Lanlan said. "How effective can this method be?"

"Or else, your mother and I will go door to door ourselves." Old Master Lian glanced at Lian Lanlan and said, "For us tenant farmers, this is typically the first method used. You aren’t satisfied, but if it has to be done, then this is the only method left. Otherwise, you decide."
