CHAPTER 1352: CHAPTER 690: MOTHER AND SON

More updates, asking for support.

＊＊＊

Lian Manman wasn’t at all surprised by the news. She had long anticipated that this scene would happen. Lady Zhou’s relentless strength, while perhaps exaggerated to say it’s unprecedented and unmatched, certainly ranks highly in this village and the surrounding areas.

Lian Manman’s efforts could only ensure that Lady Zhou didn’t dare to explode in front of her and her family, but she couldn’t protect Lian Shouxin.

Historical experience also shows that Lady Zhou’s basic and highest strategy was to manipulate Lian Shouxin. No matter how embarrassed she was elsewhere, as long as she could hold Lian Shouxin, Lady Zhou would bounce back.

After Lady Zhou returned home from their place, it’s said she remained silent and didn’t mention a word about what happened. Lian Manman had guessed that it was not only because Lady Zhou was ashamed to mention it but also because she was brewing a major explosion. And this explosion’s target was undoubtedly Lian Shouxin.

"Surely, she’s getting impatient seeing my father hasn’t gone over for half a day, and she started causing trouble herself," Lian Manman snorted coldly.

The purpose of Lady Zhou’s fuss was naturally to get Lian Shouxin to visit her.

"Why can’t she just settle down, what does she want to do? How are we at odds with her?" Lady Zhang frowned, "She devours our flesh, drinks our blood, and scolds saying our flesh and blood aren’t tasty. Who is she trying to drive to death!"

Lian Shouxin sat beside them without speaking, but his expression was unpleasant. Usually, he would have stood up and said, no matter what, he had to go and see. However, now his mood had changed.

Even if he couldn’t actively visit Lady Zhou to give justice to his wife and children, he could no longer calmly appease Lady Zhou, offering himself and his family to be trampled upon.

"Yeye, did you go to the old house?" Lian Manman asked Lian Yeye.

"Yes, my father was helping to make a coffin at the old house, I just went over to call him back for dinner," Lian Yeye replied, "I happened to come across it. The commotion was intense, whoever approached got scratched. No one dared to go near."

"That depends on the person, she doesn’t scratch just anyone," Lian Manman said.

"Of course, she doesn’t scratch her daughter. She knows who’s close and who’s distant," Lian Yeye said.

"Exactly, when she wants things, money, or people to command, she sees us," Lian Manman laughed.

"We’re making a coffin for Grandpa. When it’s finished in a few days and they want to make one for her, I won’t let my father go," Lian Yeye said angrily, "She doesn’t see me and my mom as humans, why should we respect her?"

The words Lady Zhou said at Lian Manman’s home that day were later known by Lian Manman and discussed with Lian Yeye. Lady Zhou looked down on Lady Zhao and saw Lian Yeye as insignificant. These things weren’t a secret but were still hurtful.

"Do you think Grandpa will send someone to call my dad over? If he does, who would he send?" Lian Manman suddenly asked.

This involved two things. The first was whether Old Master Lian would stop Lady Zhou. If Old Master Lian could control Lady Zhou, the Lian Family would be much quieter. Lady Zhou causing trouble now, morally and sensibly, Old Master Lian should intervene. Moreover, he was capable.

Lady Zhou asked Lian Shouyi to seize Lady Zhang, but Old Master Lian had stopped it.

It depended on whether Old Master Lian was willing.

As for who he would send...

"Sister Manman, I have to go back first." Lian Yeye hurriedly jumped to the ground. She was eager to deliver news to Lian Manman, while Lian Shouli still hadn’t returned from the old house. Naturally, Lian Yeye knew too, at the old house, the best bet was to routinely command Lian Shouli. "I need to get my dad back, preventing them from always ordering him around. When they can’t speak directly, they just send my dad because they know our families are on good terms. You all give my dad face. My dad is soft-hearted; he can’t refuse anything when people talk."

"Okay, go ahead." Lian Manman couldn’t help but smile.

Lian Yeye hurried off as if something was chasing her.

After Lian Yeye left for a while, someone came in from outside and reported that Lian Jizu had arrived.

"...Old Master from the old house wanted to know if our master had time, and if so, to visit the old house..."

Old Master Lian hadn’t stopped Lady Zhou, but still sent someone to call Lian Shouxin.

"Old Master knows everything inside out, and there’s still that closeness and distance. No matter how wholeheartedly we respect and support him, it’s all for nothing," Lady Zhang sighed deeply.
