Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 813 - 414 New Rules_2

Lian Manman saw Lian Shouxin like this and realized that he had not thought some things through. She had stayed behind specifically for this reason.

"Dad, did you know that my aunt intended to speak of a proposal while at the back courtyard, but my mom stopped her?" Lian Manman said, glancing at Lian Shouxin.

"Really? I didn’t know that," Lian Shouxin exclaimed in surprise, "By that logic, your aunt shouldn’t have brought it up with me again."

"Dad, when my aunt mentioned it to you, didn’t you ask if she had discussed it with my mom first?" Lian Manman asked.

"No, I didn’t," Shouxin honestly admitted.

"Dad, why didn’t you think that my aunt had been with my mom in the back courtyard for half the day, yet she didn’t bring this up with her. My uncle brought it up to you, she should have brought it up with my mom. Why did they both come to you? Why, when my mom had already closed the topic, didn’t she say anything but still brought it up with you?" Lian Manman asked.

"What your aunt did was not appropriate," Lian Shouxin frowned and said.

"Right, but why do you think she dared to do so? Have you thought about that?" Lian Manman asked Lian Shouxin.

Lian Shouxin fell silent.

"Dad, when my aunt came from the back courtyard and raised the issue with you, you should have first asked whether she had mentioned it to my mom," Manman slowly said.

"I was negligent in this matter," Shouxin considered for a moment and then nodded.

Lian Manman glanced at Lian Shouxin again.

"Dad, in the past, you always listened to grandpa and grandma in family matters and had become accustomed to it; my aunt could as well be in charge of our house. You said you would not make the decision on your own regarding matters concerning the second generation, and that you needed to ask my mom. I find those words rather hollow... If it were true, then how could my aunt disregard my mom’s words and not take my mom into account?"

Lian Shouxin has his flaws, but he also has his merits. For instance, he would not dictate his wife and children’s affairs. He said that he would consult with Lady Zhang concerning their children’s marriage matters and not make unilateral decisions behind her back, Lian Manman believed this.

However, there’s a considerable gap between Lian Shouxin’s personal respect for Lady Zhang, valuing his wife and children’s opinions, and actively, decisively declaring and affirming Lady Zhang’s status as a head of the household to the rest of the Lian Family.

"Your mother, is she angry because of this? No wonder," Lian Shouxin suddenly realized.

Who wouldn’t be angry? If a man, no matter how nice people were to you on the surface, completely disregards your wife and children. Could that person really respect you and treat you as a close relative? What is she really planning, and can’t you see through it?

"Dad, shouldn’t my mom be angry about this?" Lian Manman asked.

"She should be, she should be," Lian Shouxin nodded.

"Dad, my mom isn’t just angry, she’s scared," Manman continued, "This time, you didn’t agree to the matter. But what about next time, the next matter?"

Who knows when someone will take advantage of Lian Shouxin and succeed?

"There won’t be a next time," Lian Shouxin stated earnestly.

"Dad, it’s not enough to just say it... Our family needs to establish rules," Manman said.

"What kind of rules?" Shouxin asked.

"First of all, Dad, you need to make it clear to everyone. Anyone who disrespects my mom, treats my mom badly, or treats us badly, no matter who it is, should not expect to set foot in our house in the future," Manman declared.

Lady Zhang is well-liked, respected by everyone within ten miles. With that imperial archway at their door, who would dare to provoke them! To say someone disrespects Lady Zhang, treats her badly, and could be bad to Manman and her siblings, that could only be members of the Lian Family themselves.

Who is involved, as long as Shouxin is not deliberately pretending to be oblivious, he knows very well.

"This... alright," Lian Shouxin nodded with gravity.

Seeing that she had spoken her mind, Lian Manman’s face lit up with a smile.

"Dad, of course, my mom has to be angry with you. But I know you’re just too honest and trusting, which is why you’ve been taken advantage of. Actually, if my aunt had not gone to you, none of this would have happened. Even if she did come to you, had she told you the truth, this wouldn’t have occurred."

"If not for her, could my mom be so furious with you?"

"Dad, you didn’t agree this time, but if you had or if something had gone wrong, things would have been blown out of proportion. My mom would definitely have lost face here and would have had to return to her parents’ home with my maternal grandparents. Just when our family’s fortunes were on the rise, they would have been dispersed."

"Isn’t my aunt said to be very astute? She’s older than you and my mom, and she has been through more experiences, doesn’t she understand this? But why would she still do such a thing..."

Lian Shouxin’s expression became increasingly grave as he listened.

Feeling that she had said enough, Manman did not continue, instead changing the topic.

"Dad, I’ll head back first and smooth things over with mom. Later, you can go back and repeat the words you just said to me to my mom. Don’t mention that I said it; just claim you came up with it on your own. Try to coax my mom. Seeing that you’ve understood and care about us, she will soften her heart and surely calm down," Manman suggested as she put down the kitten Da Hua and stepped down from the kang.

"Manman, try to say some good words for me to your mom. Then, I’ll go back shortly," Lian Shouxin hurriedly said.

"Sure thing," Manman replied, genuinely intending to speak favorably about Lian Shouxin in front of Lady Zhang, such as establishing new house rules and so on.

"Dad, Xiao Qi told me he wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, the kind that oozes a lot of syrup," Manman exclaimed with a smile, turning back at the door. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
