Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 801 - 408 Relatives_2

Lian Huahua forced a smile on her face, but her laughter sounded very shrill. Seeing Song Hailong mount his horse and leave, Lian Huahua also hurriedly got onto the carriage with her entourage and chased after Song Hailong at breakneck speed.

Having sent off the guests, only relatives remained.

"Elder sister, didn’t you come in the Song Family’s carriage? They’ve all left, so now...," Lian Shouxin approached Lian Lanlan and said.

"Huahua has left a carriage for us," Lian Lanlan replied with a smile, "Even without a carriage, there’s nothing to fear. With my brothers here, if I want to leave, rest assured I’ll have a ride. If I want to stay, my brothers will have food and a place for me."

As Lian Lanlan uttered these words, her gaze constantly observed Lian Shouxin’s expression.

Lian Shouxin was an honest man, least adept at empty pleasantries, otherwise he wouldn’t have come over to say such things at this moment.

"Elder sister is right," Lian Shouxin said with a simple and honest smile.

Seeing that there wasn’t the slightest difficulty on Lian Shouxin’s face, only genuine sincerity, Lian Lanlan relaxed and smiled as well.

"Old Fourth, come with your sister, let’s have a good chat," Lian Lanlan invited Lian Shouxin.

"Big sis, let’s go sit in the inner courtyard. It’s windy here at the entrance," Lian Manman suggested with a smile.

"Dad, Third Uncle Wu and the others have been busy for us the whole day without even eating. Dad, Third Uncle Wu wants to drink with you," Wu Lang said as he approached Lian Shouxin.

"Certainly," Lian Shouxin quickly nodded in reply, then instructed Lady Zhang, "Child’s mother, please keep elder sister company. Elder sister, if you find the time, feel free to stay a few more days at home."

While speaking, Lian Shouxin was pulled away by Wu Lang.

Lian Lanlan saw Lian Shouxin leave for the front hall and knitted her brows slightly before signaling to her own husband with a glance to quickly follow Lian Shouxin.

Lian Lanlan’s husband, named Luo Baocai, was eight or nine years her senior. He wasn’t tall, with a narrow, dry, drawn face, and a rather skinny physique, making him appear somewhat aged.

Lian Lanlan’s marriage was arranged back in the city by Old Master Lian. Luo Baocai’s father was a fellow businessman who got along well with Old Master Lian. At that time, Luo Family only had Luo Baocai as their sole heir. Luo Baocai’s father had accumulated some wealth, but he was miserly, and the old couple clung tightly to their money, unwilling to spend even a penny. On top of that, due to Luo Baocai’s looks, his marriage was delayed.

Once Luo Baocai’s father took a fancy to Lian Lanlan, he discussed it with Old Master Lian, and the marriage was agreed upon. The Luo Family was reluctant to spend money, but Old Master Lian was indifferent, feeling that since both families were already close, and Luo Family was a respectable household, he went ahead and married Lian Lanlan over.

At that time, Lian Lanlan was of a beautiful age, and she resembled the young Lady Zhou as if they were cast from the same mold.

Such a young, beautiful, and delicate woman, "like a tender spring onion", entering the Luo Family, people at that time said they didn’t know how the two old folks of Luo Family would grind her down.

However, by the fourth year of Lian Lanlan’s marriage, she bore a chubby son. Her own complexion improved more and more, and she became plump herself, while the Luo Family’s old couple grew thinner and thinner. In less than two years, both of the old couple had passed away, and Lian Lanlan became the head of the Luo Family.

Although Luo Baocai was not handsome, he was a steady, hardworking man who listened to everything Lian Lanlan said. They used the money left by the old couple to open a sundries shop, and life went quite well.

Seeing Lian Huahua giving him a hint, Luo Baocai hesitated for a moment then turned his head and headed towards the front hall. Jin Suo, who was standing beside Luo Baocai, also wanted to follow but was stopped by Lian Lanlan.

"Jin Suo, come here," Lian Lanlan called out to Jin Suo.

"Mom, what is it?" Jin Suo ambled over, picked his nose and asked in a simple and honest tone.

Jin Suo was seventeen this year, fair-skinned and stocky, and looked more like someone of twenty because of his size.

"Didn’t you keep asking to come because you missed your fourth uncle and his wife? Have you greeted your fourth aunt? Come, chat with your fourth aunt," Lian Lanlan said, pulling Jin Suo toward the inner courtyard, "This is your cousin Zhizhi, and your cousin Manman, have you not spoken to them yet?"

"This child Jin Suo is diligent and willing to work, but he’s too straightforward and simple, and not good with words," Lian Lanlan remarked to Lady Zhang with a smile.

This party then proceeded to the inner courtyard.

"Jin Suo, hurry up, there’s something fun here," Xiao Qi ran over and pulled Jin Suo away.

Lian Lanlan, unable to call him back, could only stamp her foot in frustration.

"With seperate inner and outer courtyards, and the inside full of young ladies, Jin Suo is just shy," Lady Wu Wang said with a laugh.

"We’re all close relatives here, so it doesn’t need to be so formal," Lian Lanlan replied with a smile.

"Let the big lads have their fun. If they stay here and listen to us women talk, it would be inappropriate," Lady Zhang Wang said with a laugh.

The group entered the inner courtyard. Lady Zhang led Lady Li, Lady Zhang Wang, Lady Wu Wang, and Lian Lanlan to the eastern room to talk, while Lian Manman, after some thought, went with Lian Zhizhi, Wu Jiayu, Zhang Caiyun, and Yin Suo to the western room.

"Yin Suo, come here," Lian Lanlan called out to Yin Suo.

Yin Suo turned around and followed Lian Lanlan into the eastern room.

Everyone settled on the kang bed and started chatting and laughing. Lady Li and Lady Zhang were not talkative, but Lady Zhang Wang and Lady Wu Wang were very chatty. Several times Lian Lanlan tried to speak, but either Lady Wu Wang or Lady Zhang Wang would interrupt her.
