Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1563 - 796: Decision
Second watch, asking for pink.

The attitude of Lian Manman’s family today was quite tough, and Old Master Lian already sensed that something was amiss. If at this time, he and Lady Zhou went with Lian Manman’s family, it would confirm the unfilial nature of Lian Shouren, Lian Jizu, and others at the old house.
Lian Shouren, Lian Jizu, and Lian Shouyi, having returned from Taicang, relied on what to live stably in Thirty Mile Camp? Simply the prestige of Lian Shouxin’s family in the local area, and the support and care for him and Lady Zhou.
If the old couple followed Lian Shouxin to live elsewhere, it would essentially mean taking away these two protections. Additionally, the provisions from Lian Shouxin’s family to the old couple would no longer be sent to the old house.
The lifestyle of the people at the old house now could not compare with that of Lian Shouxin’s family, but within Thirty Mile Camp, it was average, truly better than some but not as good as others. And maintaining this lifestyle at the old house was inseparable from the support given by Lian Shouxin.
If they went with Lian Shouxin, the old house would lose its backbone and become like a scattered sandpile. Really nothing would be available, and the standard of living would definitely fall to the lowest level. Even worse, not to mention living day by day, the old house might very well disband. In any case, Old Master Lian could not bear to let the children and grandchildren at the old house suffer like that, nor could he bear to see the old house disband.
But looking at the situation now, due to his health, Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu have been caught in a bind; for him to continue staying at the old house, he could only bring out an elderly person’s last resort.
A wish, the last wish of a dying old man.
Only such a last wish is tolerated by everyone and is largely unhindered by logic. To put it plainly, this is an old person’s right to be willful. However, this willful right is not unlimited; one is enough.
Hearing Old Master Lian say this, the few people kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, while Lian Manman and others could only inwardly sigh and shake their heads.
However, this outcome was not unexpected; outsiders might not see it clearly, but Lian Manman and Wu Lang had long seen through it. No matter when, Old Master Lian could never abandon Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.
The old couple insisted this way, and Lian Manman’s family could do nothing about it.
"Jizu, your grandpa still wants to stay here, but I’m still not at ease, say something." Lian Shouxin said to Lian Jizu, directly skipping over Lian Shouren. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Fourth Uncle, rest assured, with Grandpa here, we will definitely take good care of him. From now on, we won’t make Grandpa angry or anxious again. Grandpa and Grandma won’t have to worry about anything anymore. What they say goes." Lian Jizu quickly vowed firmly.
Lian Shouren, on the side, also nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Alright, I’ll remember what you said. If anything happens to the old man and old lady again, Jizu, I’ll talk to you." Lian Shouxin nodded and said.
"Your grandpa has a lot of heart for you; if you have any conscience left, you should treat the elderly well." Pausing, Lian Shouxin looked at Lian Jizu with a meaningful expression.
Lian Shouxin again instructed Lian Jizu to carefully take care of Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou. During this time, neither Old Master Lian nor Lady Zhou spoke.
"...The ground is cold..." After Lian Shouxin finished his instructions, Old Master Lian spoke again. This was pleading on behalf of Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.
"Then today’s matter, let’s put it aside for now. See that you behave, and today’s matter will be considered past. If not, then we’ll count today’s matter with it." Wu Lang added, finally allowing Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu to rise.
Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang asked Doctor Li to prescribe a formula for Old Master Lian, and after doing so, Doctor Li took his leave. Then, Er Ya’s grandmother also got up to say goodbye, and Lian Shouxin sent someone to escort them back home.
Just as they were about to arrange for someone to go to town to buy medicine, Lian Shouyi returned from the county town.
"...Big Sister invited us to dinner. Si Lang has already started work, and the shop provides lunch. Wages and such are calculated separately. Big Sister, Brother-in-law agreed to let Si Lang stay." Lian Shouyi recounted the situation in the county town.
Lian Shouxin didn’t ask much, just stood up to bid farewell to Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou.
"...Year-end, a lot of work, have to leave for a long trip tomorrow, won’t be back until before the year. Dad and mom, take care of your health, if you lack anything, just send someone over to ask the children’s mother."
Lady Zhang, Wu Lang, Lian Manman, and Xiao Qi also stepped forward to say a few words before they left the old house.
