Third watch, asking for pink.

Lian Shouli originally intended to evict them, but he was afraid others would say he was "mean-spirited" (a phrase Zhou Shi often used), and he also wanted to obey Old Master Lian, so he was unwilling to say out loud that he wanted to evict people.
"Third Uncle, people can say whatever they like. If a thief enters the house, isn't it allowed to chase them out?" Lian Manman said, as she wanted to advocate for Lady Zhao and Lian Yeye. According to her assessment, if Lian Shouli stood firm and insisted on expelling the wife of He Laoliu and the others, Old Master Lian would agree.
"Third Uncle, you surely know what kind of people those few from the Old He Family are after living opposite you for these few days. You're not afraid of anything, but you should also think about my Third Aunt and Yeye. And one more thing, if they dare to steal once, they're going to dare to steal a second time."
