Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The moment Wang Changgen spoke, he choked Wang Dashan into a coughing fit.

"Dad, please don't interfere in matters between me and Xiao Juan."

Wang Dashan patiently tried to persuade him.

However, Wang Changgen remained righteous and confident:

"Is this interfering in things between you and her? This is interfering in my precious grandson's affairs! You're squandering the family fortune like this — who's going to raise my precious grandson in the future?"

Wang Dashan was left speechless.

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Do you think Big Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are too happy, so you insist on stirring things up to make their household chaos?"

Wang Changgen was still righteous and confident:

"You still have the nerve to say that? You and Liu Mei Qi were originally fine, you even got pregnant, but in the end it ended in divorce — why? Isn't it because Mom and I interfered too little with you!"

Wang Changgen's words actually had a bit of logic to them.

At first listen one might even feel there's some reason to it.

At least back then, in order to salvage Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi's marriage, he really did put in some effort, even personally dragging a willow branch to whip Yao Xueqin, whipping her until she screamed and jumped around wildly!

"Dad, that's all ancient history, why bring it up now? Aren't Yueran and I doing fine now?"

Wang Erhai's face was full of depression.

He felt his own old father really knew exactly which sore spot to poke!

Wang Changgen adopted a lofty, non-negotiable stance:

"Wang Dashan, if not for me and your mother, if not for yourself, then think of the child. Once you have a child, you can't be willful anymore, you have to start being sensible. Anyway, that postpartum center, such high consumption, I don't agree to Du Xiaojuan staying there. Don't say I'm not giving you face — you go tell Du Xiaojuan yourself. If you don't say it, I'll personally step in!"

These words spoken, they directly scared Wang Dashan so much his face changed color.

"Dad, can you please not make trouble!"

Wang Changgen gritted his teeth:

"How am I making trouble! I see you're just itching for a beating, actually daring not to listen to your own father's words. I'm your dad, would I harm you!"

"Dad!" Wang Dashan forcibly endured, watching as a quarrel was about to break out.

There was even a possibility they'd come to blows.

At this moment, Wang Erhai hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over:

"Alright alright, say a few words less. Dad, Big Brother cares about face, it's embarrassing for him to say it. Later I'll go persuade Eldest Sister-in-law, will that work?"

Wang Dashan immediately became unhappy:

"Second Brother, what are you persuading Xiao Juan for? She hasn't done anything wrong. The one you should persuade is our dad!"

Wang Erhai didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

"Big Brother, don't get excited. If Dad could be persuaded, would you need to say so? Listen to me, I'll go persuade Eldest Sister-in-law later, okay?"

As Wang Erhai said this, he frantically signaled Wang Dashan with his eyes.

Only then did Wang Dashan stop saying anything.

Wang Erhai then said to Wang Changgen:

"Dad, how about after eating, Big Brother takes you back to his villa to stay the night. I'll go to the postpartum center and say a few words to Eldest Sister-in-law. I guarantee by tomorrow morning, she'll have moved out of the postpartum center!"

Wang Changgen half-believed, half-doubted:

"For real or fake?"

Wang Erhai smiled:

"Just trust me. If you don't see Eldest Sister-in-law back home tomorrow, you can go find her then!"

Seeing Wang Erhai speak so firmly, Wang Dashan was very puzzled.

"Dad, Second Brother and I will go settle the bill. You wait here a moment!"

Taking the chance to settle the bill, Wang Dashan pulled Wang Erhai aside and said in a low voice:

"Second Brother, what are you up to? How could Xiao Juan possibly move out of the postpartum center?"

Wang Erhai just said:

"We'll go talk openly with Eldest Sister-in-law, communicate properly, get her to cooperate. Have her temporarily return to the villa tomorrow morning. As long as we wait for that old thing to leave, Eldest Sister-in-law can stay at the postpartum center as long as she wants! You don't want that old thing personally running to the postpartum center to raise a huge ruckus, do you?"

Hearing this, Wang Dashan was rendered speechless.

Probably only Wang Erhai's method could solve this problem.

His brain was rather straight, he couldn't turn the corner for a moment, so just now he actually thought Wang Erhai really intended to persuade his wife to move out of the postpartum center.

Now that Wang Erhai put it this way, he realized Wang Erhai was doing it for his sake.

"Alright alright, this is the only way."

Wang Dashan sighed:

"Why is our dad like this, impervious to reason, won't listen to anything, and still wants to interfere in our lives!"

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly:

"Sigh, what can be done? Can only coax him like a child. After all, he's our real dad, and his health is so bad now, we can't exactly beat him, can we?"

Wang Dashan now recalled Wang Changgen had a plaster cast on his leg, and asked:

"Speaking of which, what's up with his leg?"

Wang Erhai smiled even more bitterly:

"Broken from a fall. He went to bet on Liucun with someone else, the police came to arrest people, he climbed the wall to escape, and ended up breaking his leg. It was still me who drove all night to go back and took him to the County Hospital for bone-setting surgery."

Wang Dashan was surprised:

"Why didn't you tell me about it at the time?"

Wang Erhai just said:

"Even if I told you, you couldn't have helped with anything; it would only have added worry. I could handle it myself — what need was there for you all? After all, at the time Eldest Sister-in-law was big with child and needed someone to take care of her, and you were probably busy with work too."

Wang Dashan's face was full of emotion:

"Second Brother, you've matured a lot. You consider things even more thoroughly than I do!"

Wang Erhai said at this time:

"You wait a bit and give Eldest Sister-in-law a call. If that old thing stares so you can't leave, then send a WeChat message and explain to Eldest Sister-in-law. When you send him back to your place later, I'll go over and talk to Eldest Sister-in-law."

Wang Dashan nodded:

"Okay!"

Wang Dashan finished settling the bill, didn't go back immediately, but ran to the toilet to give Du Xiaojuan a call.

"What? You want me to go back tomorrow?"

Du Xiaojuan's brows furrowed.

Wang Dashan hurriedly explained:

"Not really go back, but go back for half a day. After Dad leaves, you come back again. Dad's temper — oil and salt don't enter — there's really no choice. We can only think of a way to coax and deceive him. Didn't you say before that we'd handle it together? Once he goes back, we'll do whatever we should do."

Du Xiaojuan sighed:

"Fine, fine!"

Then Wang Dashan drove Wang Zhanggen to his villa to stay for one night.

And Wang Erhai found a reason, turned back and went to the postpartum center to find Du Xiaojuan.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, did Big Brother tell you about that matter?"

Wang Erhai asked carefully.

"Mm, he did."

Du Xiaojuan nodded, noncommittal.

Wang Erhai hurriedly apologized:

"Eldest Sister-in-law, something like this happened, truly sorry. But you also know, rural people are mostly old-fashioned stubborn types. They won't cry but eat hard, won't listen to reason. We have no choice either, can only wrong you a bit. Tomorrow morning we'll go back for a trip. At that time, please don't give that old thing a cold face, otherwise later there'll be chaos."

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"Okay, I'll grasp the proper measure."

Toward Wang Zhanggen this father-in-law's various behaviors, although in her heart she was extremely dissatisfied, but for the sake of her and Wang Dashan this small family, she was still willing to cooperate a bit.
