The situation at the Yeye Household is different from that of Lian Manman’s family, and if Lian Yeye wants to persuade Lian Shouli, so external force is necessary; otherwise, it’s impossible. Many past incidents have already proven this point.
This matter of making tables and chairs can serve as a form of external force. Lian Yeye can take this opportunity to advise Lian Shouli. As for what she needs to advise Lian Shouli on, it doesn’t require Lian Manman to tell Lian Yeye.
After all, this is a family matter between Lian Shouli and Lian Yeye, and Lian Manman hasn’t demanded that Lian Yeye must do anything. The decision lies in Lian Yeye’s hands.
Lian Yeye’s choice is also straightforward because she has long disagreed with so of Lian Shouli’s words and actions, but despite her earnest entreaties, Lian Shouli never listened.
Having such an opportunity, Lian Yeye is delighted.
"Sister Manman, let tell you..." Lian Yeye, feeling happy, started talking more and began to chatter about those infuriating matters concerning Lian Shouli that had troubled her and Lady Zhao, all of which were naturally related to the old residence.
"No matter how he’s advised, he won’t listen, treating and my mother’s words like the wind past his ears. Actually, people don’t regard him as highly as he thinks; they’re just using us as go-betweens because they see the good relationship between our two families. They figure my fourth uncle might, at least, give my dad so face... and they’re often prying into your family’s matters from us..."
"At first, our grandma asked a couple of tis. My dad can’t go to the backyard, so all he knows is what’s happening outside; he hears from outside sources. My mom and I frequently visit the backyard. Our grandma inquired about you guys—what you eat or wear, she asked about everything—but I didn’t entertain her; I said I didn’t know anything and if she wanted to know, she should ask you directly. She stopped asking after that... because of this, she also spoke ill of to my dad..."
Lian Manman secretly laughed; despite every visit to the old residence with Lady Zhou always holding her chin high, scarcely acknowledging them and not speaking, behind their backs, she was still very concerned about them.
There are certain things Lian Manman doesn’t hide from Lian Yeye because she knows that Lian Yeye shares the sa stance in many matters, and besides, Lian Yeye is also a smart and asured child.
The sisters chatted and soon switched to another topic.
"Oh, by the way, when we were about to have dinner, Yaya’s mom ca over to my house again," Lian Yeye inford Lian Manman.
"She still visits your house every day?" Lian Manman laughed.
"She doesn’t miss a day, and sotis she cos more than once a day," Lian Yeye said. Speaking of which, human emotions are complicated and often involuntary. Initially, Lian Yeye’s family was quite annoyed with Lady He, but over ti, they grew sowhat accustod to it. Now, when Lady He visits the Lian Yeye Household, she can even have a good chat with Lady Zhao.
"She knows everything about everyone. My mom doesn’t socialize much, but with her visiting every day, we can keep up with all the village gossip," Lian Yeye said.
"What did she say today?" Lian Manman asked, knowing Lian Yeye wouldn’t ntion Lady He without a reason, thinking that Lady He must have said sothing.
"Didn’t Si Lang go to work today and visit Uncle and Aunt too..." Lian Yeye said.
"Indeed," Lian Manman chuckled, surprised that Lian Lanlan actually agreed to let Si Lang stay with them. "I’m really curious about what they talked about."
"Yaya’s father ca back saying that Aunt agreed to let Si Lang stay, but that’s not the case," Lian Yeye explained to Lian Manman. "Si Lang was relentless in insisting on staying..."
When Lady He ca to the Yeye Household, she talked about the matter of Si Lang staying at Lian Lanlan’s house. Apparently, it wasn’t as smooth as Lian Shouyi had said when he got back. At first, Lian Lanlan hesitated, making various excuses. But Lian Shouyi isn’t just anyone; he recounted how Lian Lanlan used to curry favor with Lian Shouren’s family. After Lian Shouren went to Taicang to beco an official, how much benefit Lian Lanlan had gained, and how recently, thanks to Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang’s help, she avoided prison, among other things.
In short, he was peeling away her layers.
After peeling them away, he used words to corner Lian Lanlan, making her unable to refuse letting Si Lang stay.
"Yaya’s mother also said that over the years, Aunt has gotten quite a bit from the family, always benefiting from the family’s influence. Now, just providing a place for Si Lang to stay is only fair," Lian Yeye added.
"I knew it wasn’t her willingly agreeing. It could only be Yaya’s dad; if it were soone else, they probably wouldn’t have managed to get her to agree," Lian Manman laughed.
Lian Shouyi, once he started playing tough and shaless, wasn’t soone an ordinary person could deal with. Moreover, Lian Lanlan indeed benefited a lot from the Lian Family.
