Chapter 1878: Chapter 957: Refutation (Part 2)
"Old Fourth, I talk to Erlang and he won’t listen. You talk to him, he doesn’t dare not listen. Just divorce the Luo woman now, our Erlang can find another young girl without any trouble." Lian Shouyi got excited, spread his big hands, and made some random gestures.
Lian Shouxin stared at Lian Shouyi, still with a dark face.
Lian Shouxin had a temper; whenever he got really angry, he sometimes couldn’t say a word.
"Second Uncle, let me ask you." Lian Manman listened to Lian Shouyi’s words with a blank expression, seeing Lian Shouxin’s reaction, she sternly asked Lian Shouyi, "Did my Second Sister-in-law bring people to take all the cash from your hands, did she take anything else? Everyone was there when you moved houses, it’s only been a few days, where are the clothes and fabric?"
Lian Shouyi saw Lian Shouxin’s intimidating look and heard Lian Manman’s question, he initially wanted to say they were all gone, but he held it back, not speaking.
"People need face, trees need bark. Everyone wears their best attire when going out, you have good clothes and don’t wear them, wearing this on purpose, who are you dressing for? Aren’t you ashamed enough, don’t you think you look ridiculous!" Lian Shouxin finally exploded, as he spoke, he threw a punch at Lian Shouyi.
That’s the first thing that made Lian Shouxin angry, and now saying it came with a burst of anger.
Lian Shouyi shrunk back involuntarily, scared.
"Let me ask you again," Lian Manman continued questioning Lian Shouyi, "You say you go out to find friends to talk to, and my Second Sister-in-law chased after you to hit you. Which friends did you find, which village, what’s their surname and name?"
"Oh..." Lian Shouyi mumbled, rolling his eyes. His few gambling friends were quite well-known in the surrounding villages. If he really spoke their names, even if Lian Manman wasn’t familiar, Lian Shouxin would definitely know what kind of people they were.
"The friends you found, are they gambling friends?" Lian Manman sneered, "My dad also said, you should stop gambling. Second Sister-in-law chased after you, stopped you from gambling, she’s doing it for your own good, for the family’s good."
"You say Second Sister-in-law hit you, but what we hear isn’t the same. Everyone says, you tried to hit Second Sister-in-law, missed her, and stumbled on your own."
With just a few words, Lian Manman uncovered Lian Shouyi’s facade. Lian Shouyi’s face was already oddly decorated, now with changing colors, it was even more grotesque.
"You gambled again, people chased you, stopping you from gambling. Aren’t you supposed to be a grandfather, can’t you learn to be better? Can you set an example for your descendants, so they can respect you?" Lian Shouxin pointed at Lian Shouyi, feeling deep frustration, "People stop you from gambling, and you act foolishly, trying to hit people! Is this right, what kind of proper elder behaves like you?"
"You’ve already embarrassed yourself enough, just keep quiet and let it pass. You still don’t settle down, you pretend to be sick, causing the entire region to know. Is this a skill? That’s a disgrace, do you know!" Lian Shouxin loudly scolded Lian Shouyi.
"If you were really hit, or not, let’s get a doctor to check, it would be clear immediately." Wu Lang saw Lian Shouyi rolling his eyes, wanting to speak, and cut him off.
"Yes, get a doctor to examine you properly." Lian Shouxin nodded, "Real injury, fake injury, it’ll be clear at a glance. Save you from saying I don’t care about you as a brother, seeing that you were beaten and doing nothing."
Lian Shouyi listened to their words, his eyes stopped rolling, his head hung down. He had stumbled, but didn’t even scrape the skin; otherwise, he wouldn’t have returned to Luo Xiao Village immediately. The idea of pretending to be sick came when he returned home in Luo Xiao Village.
He wanted to look pitiful, hoping Lian Shouxin would speak for him. But causing real injuries to himself, he never considered. Even if he did, he wouldn’t bear to do it.
In essence, Lian Shouyi wasn’t a ruthless person; especially towards himself, he absolutely couldn’t do it.
"So, do you want to get a doctor?" Lian Shouxin saw Lian Shouyi’s look, his mind becoming clearer, knowing Lian Shouyi was just pretending. "Anyway, face is already lost, losing it once more doesn’t matter, let’s just get to the bottom of it."
Lian Shouyi just kept silent.
"What now, nothing more to say?" After a while, Lian Shouxin again asked Lian Shouyi.
"Old Fourth, uh..." Lian Shouyi raised his head, shamelessly saying, "Even if all that isn’t..., but her disobedience isn’t fake."
"In which family aren’t the in-laws in charge of the son and daughter-in-law, but she flipped it, controlling the two of us, like she was in charge of her son, I can’t even leave the house. Is that enjoying the descendants’ fortune, or is it like being imprisoned?" Saying this, Lian Shouyi seemed to regain some justification.
"Second Sister-in-law controls you because you go out gambling, right?" Lian Shouxin glared at Lian Shouyi with disappointment, saying, "To be respected as an elder, you have to do things fitting for an elder."
Here, elder doesn’t mean elderly but refers to an elder in the family. Thirty Mile Camp’s tenant farmers often spoke like this.
"He gambles, but I don’t gamble." Lady He, who had not spoken much, hurriedly said, "Why is it ’her’ watching me closely, tighter than even an old lady."
Lian Shouyi turned back to glare at Lady He, blaming her for lacking sense, selling him out like that in front of everyone.
