Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Again with this?"

Wang Erhai was angered into laughter by Wang Zhanggen's words:

"Do you know that last time you went to Guangzhou, you starved until your blood sugar dropped and you nearly fainted?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, was hard-mouthed:

"That's because last time you set off late; if you'd left earlier, how would it have come to this? This time is the same — leave earlier and there won't be so much trouble!"

Wang Zhanggen felt that last time was Wang Erhai's fault, and had little to do with him not eating for a whole day.

Wang Erhai was so angry he simply didn't want to deal with him anymore.

He turned his head and said to Li Xiulan:

"Mom, let's us two go cook!"

Seeing himself ignored by Wang Erhai, Wang Zhanggen grew even angrier:

"I said leave now, are you deaf!"

Wang Erhai said coldly:

"If you want to leave now I won't stop you, but me and my mom, and Yueran, are definitely eating lunch before we go!"

Wang Zhanggen was trembling with anger:

"Do you still have me as your birth father in your eyes! You've turned against heaven, haven't you!"

Seeing the father and son about to quarrel, Zhang Yueran hurried over to smooth things over:

"Alright alright, Erhai, don't argue with your dad. How about this: I'll order takeout from the county town right now, set the delivery address at your company, we leave now, pick up the takeout at the county town, then eat in the car on the road."

Wang Erhai was a bit unwilling; this wasn't about whether to eat takeout or not, but that Wang Zhanggen, this old thing, wouldn't give him any face at all!

You have to know Zhang Yueran was right there watching!

What would Zhang Yueran think seeing this old thing being so unreasonably troublesome?

Isn't this making things difficult for him, Wang Erhai!

"No takeout, we'll just eat at home!"

Wang Erhai and Wang Zhanggen locked horns.

Zhang Yueran hurriedly pulled him aside and said softly:

"Don't be like this, just yield to him. If it really doesn't work, we'll just come home less in the future. I don't want to see you two, father and son, coming to blows in front of me."

Persuaded like this by Zhang Yueran, Wang Erhai finally compromised.

In the end they didn't cook lunch, and set off directly.

Passing by the county city side, Wang Erhai specially exited the expressway, went to the company to pick up the takeout, then immediately departed for Guangzhou.

In the car, Zhang Yueran and Li Xiulan both ate the takeout with relish.

Wang Zhanggen ate two bites, then put on a long face:

"Not eating anymore, disgustingly bad!"

Wang Erhai flared up at once:

"Come on, you're the one who said you wanted wonton noodles; how come you pick faults after I ordered them for you!"

Wang Zhanggen wore a donkey's face:

"I said I wanted wonton noodles, but I didn't say I wanted this bad-tasting wonton noodles!"

Wang Erhai was huffing with anger:

"How is it bad? This is that shop you and Mom ate at when you went to the county town before; back then you even said it was good!"

Wang Zhanggen had no reply.

Actually he didn't think the wonton noodles were bad; he just purely wanted to give Wang Erhai a cold shoulder!

Wang Erhai actually dared to talk back to him, really not putting his birth father in his eyes, so he had to stir up some trouble!

"Don't you keep yapping at me! Yap again and at the next service area I'll throw you out directly and let you fend for yourself!"

Wang Erhai's anger rose to his head; the words he spoke had no measure.

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen was also huffing with anger:

"Good good good, you unfilial son, want to throw me on the expressway, huh? No need for you to throw me, I'll jump down myself right now!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhanggen went to open the car door!

Scaring Li Xiulan sitting beside him into a huge change of expression.

She hurriedly went to pull him back:

"What are you doing, if you want to die don't burden us!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly turned on the hazard lights, then pulled the car to the far-right slow lane, hurriedly engaged the child safety locks, locked all the doors dead, and only then opened his mouth to curse loudly:

"Water in your brain, huh? At your advanced age you still act like a little kid! Don't ride in my car again from now on!"

Wang Erhai also hadn't expected that the child safety locks in this car, never used for a child, would instead be used for his own birth father in his several decades!

"Say a few words less, say a few words less!"

Zhang Yueran hurriedly mediated, "Let's not say anything more, okay? Whatever it is, we'll talk when we get to Guangzhou!"

Zhang Yueran also said to Li Xiulan:

"Mom, you watch Dad, soothe his emotions, don't let him get too agitated."

Then she spoke to Wang Zhanggen:

"Dad, Erhai's business hasn't been going well lately, and his temper is bad. Don't blame him. As his birth father, you should be more tolerant of him. Family harmony brings prosperity in all things, right?"

Wang Zhanggen gave a cold hmph:

"Just because business isn't going well, he can take his temper out on his own birth father?!"

But after saying this sentence, he didn't say anything more either.

It was Li Xiulan instead, who was moved by a sentence of Zhang Yueran's mediating lie:

"Erhai, how's your business?"

Wang Erhai laughed speechlessly:

"Nothing much, still pretty good."

This was the honest truth from him, but Li Xiulan felt he was saying this because he didn't want his family to worry.

"If you have any difficulties, tell Mom. If money's not enough, I can take some out for you here. Anyway, that money is sitting in the bank, won't be needed for a moment."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was moved involuntarily:

"Mom, I don't need money for now. You keep your savings. If I really need it, I'll ask Big Brother."

Li Xiulan was still full of worry:

"I'm worried about you. Whatever happens, you must tell Mom..."

Wang Erhai nodded and said:

"Okay okay, if anything happens I'll definitely tell you."

Although he said this with his mouth, in his heart he had another idea entirely.

Even if there really was something, he wouldn't tell his own mother.

Mother is a thoroughgoing rural woman, no culture, no experience. Talking to her, besides adding to her worry, cannot get any effective solution.

Halfway there, when passing a service area, Zhang Yueran said she wanted to go to the toilet.

Wang Erhai stopped the car, and Zhang Yueran said to him:

"Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Wang Erhai was just about to say no, but saw Zhang Yueran giving him a look.

He hurriedly said:

"Yes yes, I'll go to the toilet too... Mom Dad, you stay in the car, we'll be right back!"

Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran got out of the car and walked together toward the service area's toilet direction.

Zhang Yueran then said:

"I remember you told me, last time your dad went to your big brother's, he made your sister-in-law move out of the postpartum center, and then you and your sister-in-law acted out a play together, deceiving your dad."

"Right, so what?" Wang Erhai asked.

Zhang Yueran said: "If your dad goes to Guangzhou now and discovers your sister-in-law is still staying at the postpartum center, what do you guess his reaction will be?"

Wang Erhai was immediately stunned, not calm anymore:

"If it's really like that, that rotten old thing won't raise hell?!"

Then he hurriedly said:

"No good, I have to hurry and make a call to my big brother, tell him the situation here, have him and sister-in-law hurry up and prepare a countermeasure strategy!"

Wang Erhai rejoiced secretly in his heart. Fortunately his wife reminded him, otherwise that old thing might not say he's not going and then go over there, and would absolutely catch big brother and sister-in-law off guard!
