Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Is it that serious?"

Wang Zhanggen's face was full of gloom, and he smoked one cigarette after another.

He had still been thinking of using the full moon banquet to show off properly!

"You can choose not to believe it, but if something untoward happens when the time comes, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Wu Banxian's face was solemn.

"Better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!"

Li Xiulan looked at Wang Zhanggen. Although she had no culture, she still understood this common saying, and she also said:

"Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the one in ten thousand. To guarantee our grandson can grow up healthy, this full moon banquet, if it's not held then it's not held. Holding it would just be troublesome!"

Wang Zhanggen wore a long, dark face, and finally said impatiently:

"Alright, alright, if it's not held then it's not held!"

In the end, he still compromised.

After all, in his view, Wu Banxian's words carried even more authority than an imperial edict.

Before, Wu Banxian had helped him uncover the truth of the ancestral grave being dug up!

Later, his eldest son's "wealth without children" fate was also reversed using the method Wu Banxian gave!

If not for Wu Banxian, he might still not be able to hold his grandson now!

Seeing Wang Zhanggen compromise, a satisfied smile appeared on Wu Banxian's face.

He thought to himself, this money is really easy to earn!

A matter of two or three sentences, and eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight was in hand!

Originally Wang Dashan had said he would give ten thousand, and he even felt that accepting too much would weigh on his conscience a bit!

After returning from Wu Banxian's place, Wang Zhanggen sat in the spacious living room, still gloomy.

It was obvious that not being able to hold the full moon banquet to show off his grandson to relatives and friends made him very upset, even deeply hurt.

He had lived most of his life and only got this one grandson; wanting to show him off but being unable to — what was the point of anything?

So he sighed again:

"This life, why does it feel unsatisfactory everywhere?"

Li Xiulan, busy cleaning nearby, immediately shot him a disdainful look:

"If it's unsatisfactory, go work the fields! The farm has plenty of work for you, just afraid you'll slack off again and complain about pain here and there!"

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"Did I say it was about work? Looks like you really don't understand me at all, wasted half a lifetime following me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, indeed wasted half a lifetime!" Li Xiulan retorted directly: "If I could do it over, a ghost would marry you!"

In the past, although Li Xiulan was dissatisfied with Wang Zhanggen, she still held back somewhat.

But recently she could bear it less and less; at least verbally, she would not let Wang Zhanggen off.

That was because Wang Zhanggen's body was getting worse and worse, his leading role in this family was getting smaller and smaller. His destructive role was also getting smaller and smaller.

Li Xiulan finally no longer had to live completely by his face, while he had to beg Li Xiulan to help take care of him, especially now that his leg was broken, he was inconvenienced in every way, and could not do without Li Xiulan's help even more.

So when Li Xiulan talked back, he could only swallow it in silence.

"In a bit, you call Dashan and just say the full moon banquet isn't happening."

After a good long while, Wang Zhanggen finally let out this sentence.

Li Xiulan worried at this point:

"Dashan and them have already set the full moon banquet date for the first of next month. Telling them not to hold it now, will they be unhappy?"

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"Unhappy is unhappy, anyway it absolutely cannot be held! The grandson's life is important, or are those empty formalities important!"

Li Xiulan still worried:

"What if Xiao Juan insists on holding it, then what?"

Wang Zhanggen said furiously:

"If she doesn't listen to advice, watch me not beat her to death! Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. How dare she not listen?"

Li Xiulan rolled her eyes and said faintly:

"With your sickly body, can you beat her?"

Wang Zhanggen was stung into silence, with nothing to say.

At the same time, his heart felt even more gloomy.

"Can't even beat a woman anymore, even a woman comes to bully me, living is really getting more and more meaningless!"

Wang Zhanggen started wallowing in self-pity again.

Li Xiulan had heard these words of his until her ears grew calluses.

Couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind!

She turned around, picked up her mobile phone, and called Wang Dashan.

"Dashan, I have something to tell you..."

"Mom, what is it?"

"We just went to Wu Banxian's today to have the grandson's birth chart read, had his fate calculated."

Wang Dashan hurriedly asked: "What did Wu Banxian say?"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Wu Banxian said, that child, he's the material to become a high official in the future! Wu Banxian also said, the name Wang Dujin is very good! However..."

"However what?"

"However this child's body is weak, before half a year old he cannot go to places with many people! Must give him more milk to drink, if there's no milk drinking milk powder is also okay, don't eat rice paste and such too early."

Wang Dashan nodded:

"Understood, I'll definitely make Xiao Juan feed the child according to Wu Banxian's meaning."

"Also..."

Li Xiulan paused, a bit unable to speak.

"Also what?"

Wang Dashan looked expectantly.

Li Xiulan sighed, then said:

"Wu Banxian said, this child cannot have a Full Moon Banquet, having a Full Moon Banquet easily lets pestilence enter the body, so this Full Moon Banquet just don't have it, you go do more of Xiao Juan's ideological work! She wants to show off the child, this mood I understand, but still the child's health is comparatively more important!"

Wang Dashan hearing this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

This solution method his own Third Brother gave, really too wonderful!

Wang Dashan hurriedly asked:

"Xiao Juan's side, I'll go do ideological work, but, if not having the Full Moon Banquet, will Dad agree, isn't he very wanting to have it?"

Li Xiulan then said:

"He indeed wants to have it, but isn't this a matter with no method? It was him who had me call to tell you this matter, he now instead opposes you having the Full Moon Banquet, also said what, if you insist on having it, he'll go break your legs!"

Wang Dashan's mouth corner even more couldn't help but rise upward:

"Like this ah, then okay, I'll go back and properly persuade Xiao Juan."

Wang Dashan hung up his mother's phone, couldn't help but happily jump up, clenching his fist and shouting "yes!"

This originally seemingly almost irreconcilable contradiction, unexpectedly just like this got resolved!

He hurriedly ran to Du Xiaojuan's front, face carrying unconcealable joy.

"Tell you a piece of good news!"

"What good news?" Du Xiaojuan glanced at him once, feeling inexplicable.

These past days being tormented by her father-in-law until her mood was thoroughly terrible, depressed until now.

Really couldn't think of what good news Wang Dashan could tell her.

Now her anger had dissipated a bit, after calming down, felt if really want to have Full Moon Banquet, also not impossible.

She totally couldn't because of this small matter, just with Wang Dashan's parents cut off all relations, after all the second half of life is still long.

And she also doesn't lack that bit of money for having a Full Moon Banquet.

Everything still overall situation is paramount, just like doing business, cannot make impulsive decisions, must obtain the result most favorable to oneself.

So she had already decided, this Full Moon Banquet, if have then have ba, she won't go fight with that old man, fighting with that old man, makes her look petty, loses face!

However at this time Wang Dashan instead said to her:

"My dad and mom said, not having the Full Moon Banquet anymore."
