Chapter 528 Why Didn’t You Say
"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Lu." Shen Qingqian did not refuse. The Lin family really helped Shen Jun's family, and they had to repay this favor.
For the Shen family, it doesn’t matter where the Lin family settles.
But on the other side, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang had already gathered together to think of a solution.
Old Mrs. Wang was filled with worry. "What are we going to do with those rooms? We were just talking about settling down a few days ago. My husband Wang Yang will definitely be getting married next year at the latest, and then our house won't be big enough for us."
"It's the same in my family. Our brother Chen is already grown up. If we don't find him a wife, he will become an old man in the future." Old Mrs. Liu followed closely.
Old Mrs. Chen sighed helplessly, "Don't say anything. My Chen Ercai is the one who gives me the most headaches. That guy doesn't like anyone and doesn't want to think about who would like him. But I still have to keep the house for him."
The three of them looked at each other, and when they thought of the Lin family, they all sighed.
They already knew that the Lin family had done a favor to the wife and children of the second son of the Shen family. If they wanted to fight for those houses, they would have to confront the Shen family.
"What should I do now?" Old Mrs. Wang still couldn't let it go.
Old Madam Chen was the most astute of the three. She squinted her cloudy eyes and thought for a while, then said, "There are still five rooms in total. There are seven people in the Lin family. Three rooms should be enough for them to live in."
"It's definitely enough for now, but I can't say for sure what will happen in the future." Old Mrs. Liu muttered.
The houses were built spaciously enough to accommodate several compartments, and three rooms were enough for two families.
"Even so, the remaining two rooms are not enough for the three of us families to divide!" Old Mrs. Wang rubbed her hands in worry.
There was another silence among them.
It was unknown how long it took before Old Lady Chen finally spoke: "Alright, I'll give you those two rooms. I don't think my second son Chen will get married in the next few years. We can talk about the future later."
The yard is still brand new now, so naturally no one is talking about expanding it. But things will be different in a few years. By then, every household will have children of marriageable age, and the yard will definitely have to be expanded to make it large enough for living.
If she doesn't fight this time, not only can she look good in front of the Shen family, but also the Liu and Wang families will have to give her some convenience when expanding in the future because of this favor.
"You don't want it," said Mrs. Wang, who was not very thoughtful. "Then there's no problem now."
Old Mrs. Liu knew Old Mrs. Chen too well, but she couldn't figure out why she gave up. Thinking of Liu Junchen's marriage, she had no choice but to do so for the time being.
After several families had discussed it, they hurriedly sent someone with quick legs to Lu An, who had just settled the Lin family.
"All of you, now you don't have to be treated like exiles anymore, your tails are sticking up," Lu An said as he registered the Liu and Wang families. "But the general has spoken, so let it be. Now there's no room in your yard, so don't come looking for me in the future."
The people from the Liu and Wang families thanked him repeatedly. After receiving a thin piece of paper, they hurried away, fearing that Lu An would go back on his word.
Shan Mancheng went to the army today, but his whereabouts were strictly monitored.
The three of them came back together tonight and still went straight to Shen's house for dinner.
When they saw the Lin family, Sheng Ze and Ling Yun stopped.
They didn't go home last night, so they didn't know what happened to the Lin family.
Sheng Ze glanced at Shan Mancheng beside him and said lightly: "Why didn't you say it?"
