Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 806 - 411: Losing Temper

On the road from Thirty Mile Camp to Jinyang County Town, a horse carriage was traveling swiftly. Inside the carriage, Lian Lanlan, Luo Baocai, Jin Suo, and Yin Suo, a family of four, sat cramped together.

The carriage jolted several times, causing Yin Suo to frown and complain aloud.

"How is the coach driving? It wasn’t this bumpy when we came here." Jin Suo did not lower her voice, intending for the coachman outside the carriage to hear.

Whether it was because the carriage’s walls were too thick or not, the coachman outside did not hear Yin Suo’s complaints, and the carriage jolted twice more shortly after.

Seeing his daughter complain, Luo Baocai handed over the cushion beneath him. This wasn’t their own carriage; both the coachman and the carriage belonged to the Song Family, and even if it was a bit inconvenient, they had to endure it.

Lian Lanlan, who had been deep in thought, heard Yin Suo’s words and came back to her senses. She had been lost in her thoughts ever since leaving Shouxin’s house and boarding the carriage, forgetting an important matter.

Lian Lanlan reached into her sleeve, pulled out a pouch, and took a silver ingot from it. The ingot seemed to be less than one tael, but it probably weighed about five or six qian.

Luo Baocai saw Lian Lanlan take out such a large ingot and felt a bit distressed. His lips twitched twice but he said nothing. Yin Suo glanced at the silver disinterestedly. Meanwhile, Jin Suo was busy stuffing snacks into her mouth, snacks that had been taken from the banquet they had just attended. As soon as she boarded, she started eating, paying no attention to anything else.

...

The carriage finally stopped jolting, and Lian Lanlan swept a glance over the three seated around her, exhaling quietly.

"...who can know which cloud will bring rain!...It’s absolutely unexpected..." Lanlan exclaimed seemingly out of nowhere.

"About that matter..." It was only now that Luo Baocai dared to ask Lian Lanlan.

"It won’t work." Lian Lanlan glanced at Jin Suo, saw several crumbs around her mouth, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. "The matter with Jin Suo, let’s just forget it. I saw today, that girl Manman, she’s not easy to handle. If she truly followed Jin Suo, the moment we’re not around, she would suffer under Jin Suo’s hand."

With a sigh, Luo Baocai had nothing more to say. In their family, it was all up to Lian Lanlan to decide; he just did whatever she asked.

Lian Lanlan glanced at Yin Suo again, frowning slightly.

"Mom, why are you looking at me?" Yin Suo said.

"Isn’t Mom just thinking about your matter?" Lian Lanlan replied.

"Mom, I’ll say this upfront. If you want to find a match for me, I’m not going to the countryside. Isn’t that degrading?" Yin Suo rolled her eyes and turned her head away.

"Girl, don’t you know what’s good for you." Lian Lanlan scolded Yin Suo, "Is the countryside the same everywhere? It’s not like I’m marrying you off to some poor family... You’ve never seen how life is at a big landlord’s, but your grandmother has told me.

"Just look at your Fourth Uncle’s House now, those big courtyards, those houses, look at the people they associate with, the gifts they receive. With that archway now... It’s a totally different world. In the future... you’ll be waited on hand and foot, anyone who sees them has to nod and bow.... In the towns here, which of the truly wealthy and respectable families aren’t landlords? To buy a house in the city, it’s only a matter of plucking a hair from their waist. We struggle day to day, merely surviving on the little money from the shop, that’s heaven for you. A single grain of rice, a piece of vegetable leaf, we have to buy everything, while others consume only the best and the freshest. The really good stuff never makes it to our mouths..."

Yin Suo snorted coldly, but the image of Zhizhi and Manman’s room flashed through her mind.

Lian Lanlan noted the changes in Yin Suo’s facial expressions but said no more. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Today, she had originally planned to discuss marrying Manman to Yin Suo when they reached Shouxin’s new house, but she had another idea in mind. Later, she spoke with Shouxin at length, also because of this new idea.

After all, it was easy for her to bring up marrying Manman to Jin Suo, but to talk about marrying Yin Suo to Wu Lang, she was hesitant to be the one to initiate. She only hinted to Shouxin, hoping that he, feeling guilty for rejecting Jin Suo’s proposal, would ask to marry Yin Suo.

Unlike Jin Suo, Yin Suo was not lacking in appearance, she was well-rounded. A girl from the city, a match for his Wu Lang, being her own daughter, what more could Shouxin possibly object to?
