Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1654 - 844: Falling Out

"Did Liulang go to your house?" Lady Zhang asked when she saw Lian Yeye coming.

"He just went." Lian Yeye replied, "My dad happened to be home, and he’s already gone with Liulang to the old house. My mom is at home watching the place, I came with my dad... I’m here to find Sister Manman, later I also want to go to the old house and take a look." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Brother, send someone to the fields to pass a message to our dad." Lian Manman thought for a moment and said.

"Alright." Wu Lang nodded, then called someone to go find Lian Shouxin.

This time the situation is a bit different from previous times. Whenever something happened at the old house, it was usually Old Master Lian who sent someone to find Lian Shouxin or Lian Shouli. But this time, it was Lady Zhou who sent Liulang to find someone. Although Lady Zhou is difficult to deal with, she’s direct and strongly opinionated, and such an action for her was almost like admitting weakness and softening her stance toward her two sons who started their own families.

The situation at the old house must be very bad, Old Master Lian might not be able to hold on.

While sending someone to call Lian Shouxin, Lian Manman continued to ask Lian Yeye.

"Apparently they’re having an argument over at the old house, do you know what it’s about, did Liulang tell you?" Lian Manman asked one question after another.

"It wasn’t Liulang who told me." Lian Yeye told Lian Manman, "...I went to Er Ya’s house, and on the way back, I passed by the old house, and just happened to witness it..."

As Lian Yeye passed by the gate of the old house, she heard a loud commotion inside, so she went in to check. It turned out that Matchmaker Sun from the town brought a message from the Old Wang Family at Badao Miaozi, saying the marriage arrangement was off.

The people at the old house were shocked and disappointed, especially Lian Shouyi and Lady He, of course, the most disappointed was Sirang. The three of them couldn’t accept this news, nor the so-called reason given by the Wang Family that they felt unworthy of Sirang.

"This is definitely fishy, when the Old Wang Family left, they were all happy. Their daughter wants to come here, isn’t it because she wants a good life? It’s always been the girl’s family that thinks the boy’s family is too poor or not good enough, no one ever complains about the boy’s family being too well-off?" Lian Shouyi raised his voice and sternly asked Matchmaker Sun, "There must be something else going on, don’t hide it from us!"

"Saying they would go back and think about it, and let us know. Obviously, they are just pleased and want to make us stew a little, so they can ask for more betrothal gifts, and prevent us from looking down on them." Lady He also shouted, clearly, the three of them had discussed this matter privately and reached an agreement. "When they left, everyone was happy. The Old Wang Family’s girl even glanced at Sirang several times, smiling and joyful. How could she not be willing."

"There must be something else going on!" Lady He resolutely said, "Old Lady Sun, if you have something to say, just say it. I know you, if you want more matchmaker money, just say so."

Sirang was already red-faced with anxiety, he didn’t say much, just stared straight at Matchmaker Sun along with Lian Shouyi and Lady He. They were all convinced that the Old Wang Family was interested in them, and the only reason the marriage wasn’t agreed upon must be due to some other reason, and they suspected Matchmaker Sun was causing trouble behind the scenes.

After explaining for a long time, Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Sirang didn’t believe it, and finally became more convinced that there was an issue with Matchmaker Sun.

Matchmaker Sun was helpless and somewhat scared, and finally started to mention that it was because some rumors reached the Old Wang Family.

"...Originally, they were willing, our family, our child, what could they have to object to! Who knew, I spoke so well, but they still didn’t believe. They said that even if the stories were false, if there was any truth to it, the girl’s life would be ruined. So no matter what, they won’t agree now..."

These few words from Matchmaker Sun finally shifted the resentment from Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Sirang away from her.

Who spread the rumors about Sirang, the exact persons couldn’t be found out, but the source of the rumors was apparent. These people even suspected that Lian Lanlan deliberately passed on the words to the Old Wang Family to take revenge on Sirang and ruin his chances.

"...It’s said that it was spread from Yinsuo’s family in the city, they must have known Sirang had a good marriage proposal and tried to ruin it."

The group stopped pestering Matchmaker Sun, who took the opportunity to slip away, leaving only the people from the old house, Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Sirang cursing Lian Lanlan.
