"Something's wrong, way too wrong!"

Wang Zhanggen wore a long face; the more Wang Erhai tried to hide things, the more Wang Zhanggen felt something was off.

"Show me my physical examination report!"

Wang Zhanggen directly put forward this demand.

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Dad, what do you want to look at that thing for? I didn't even bring it back!"

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"Can't you check it on your phone too? Look it up on your phone."

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"The phone can only make appointments; it can't pull up the physical exam report at all. I told you you're fine, so you're fine. Do you have to be this suspicious?"

Wang Erhai told a lie; actually, the phone can access the physical exam report.

Anyway, no matter what, the physical exam report absolutely could not let Wang Zhanggen see it with his own eyes; if he happened to see it and got scared to death on the spot, what would they do?

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"But I keep feeling like my body is getting worse and worse."

Wang Zhanggen's intuition was right.

As the liver cancer progressed, his body had already begun to show signs.

And liver cancer is a "silent cancer," because there are no pain-sensing nerves on the liver, so early on there is no pain or itch; by the time you can feel something is wrong, it means the liver cancer has already developed to the middle or even late stage.

The swollen lymph nodes on Wang Zhanggen's neck are one such manifestation.

Another manifestation is that Wang Zhanggen is increasingly unable to control his own irritable temper.

Sometimes after losing his temper, he himself feels in his heart that he went too far, but because of face, he can't bring himself to admit the mistake.

Seeing him say this, Wang Erhai's eyes rolled, and he went along with it:

"Since you're worried, in a couple days I'll have Big Brother take you to a big hospital in Guangzhou for a re-examination, and while you're at it, take a look at your precious grandson!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen hurriedly nodded:

"Good, good, then we'll go to Guangzhou for a re-examination in a few days!"

But he also had reservations:

"If I go over like this, will Du Xiaojuan have any objections?"

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

"What objections could Eldest Sister-in-law possibly have!"

Wang Zhanggen then said:

"Last time I went to see the kid, it ended quite unpleasantly. I was actually doing it for her own good, didn't want her spending money recklessly..."

Wang Zhanggen was still making excuses to justify his own mistake.

Actually, after he came back, he realized he had acted a bit excessively.

Wang Erhai said:

"Let the past be the past; why keep it in your heart? This time you go to Guangzhou, just get re-examined and see your precious grandson, and keep your mouth shut in front of Eldest Sister-in-law!"

"Why should I shut my mouth? I'm not a mute!"

Wang Zhanggen retorted coldly, very unwilling.

Wang Erhai said:

"You shut your mouth; maybe Eldest Sister-in-law will be so happy she'll give you another grandson. If you push her too far, maybe she'll not only divorce Big Brother, but also snatch away your precious grandson!"

"She dares? On what grounds?" Wang Zhanggen glared, wearing a long face.

Wang Erhai said:

"Just based on the money Eldest Sister-in-law earns in a day now — it's more than you've earned in your whole life. Eldest Sister-in-law is now the female CEO of a listed company; to put it bluntly, Big Brother is living off his wife."

Wang Zhanggen was stunned:

"In one day, she earns more than I do in a lifetime?..."

He couldn't believe it.

Wang Erhai said:

"Don't you not believe it; her company's market value is estimated at several hundred million, and it's still rising!"

Wang Zhanggen was stunned into silence.

After a long while, he finally let out a faint sentence:

"What era is this? Women can actually earn money like this too..."

Li Xiulan came over at this moment and said:

"Xiao Juan being able to earn money — isn't that a good thing? She's our daughter-in-law!"

Li Xiulan also said:

"You just shut your stinking mouth; saying a few less sentences won't kill you. Xiao Juan is actually pretty good; she's not all that bad to us either. Every Spring Festival when she comes back to Shangou Village, doesn't she always bring back gifts piled high?"

Wang Zhanggen stopped talking.

He just lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

His gaze grew somewhat lost.

Wang Erhai had a meal at his hometown, then hurried back to County Town.

As soon as he returned to County Town, he went to find Niu Chunsheng to discuss with Niu Chunsheng the sales problem of the farm's chickens.

Niu Chunsheng was very straightforward:

"Fine! I'll say a word to the person in charge of Lixin Grand Hotel, and have the hotel purchase free-range chickens and farm fish from your farm. It's just that I don't know if they can take such a large quantity."

Wang Erhai smiled and thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle Chunsheng. Whatever they can take, they can take; if not, I'll go find other sales channels."

Niu Chunsheng asked a meddling question:

"By the way, how is that restaurant in Town? I haven't gone there to eat free-range chicken for a long time. A client will visit in a few days, and that client also likes farm food. I was thinking of taking him there to try something fresh!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"No! I transferred that restaurant to Liang Xinghua, and now he and his wife have run it into the ground."

Hearing this, Niu Chunsheng was very surprised:

"No way. I know Liang Xinghua—he's Liang Yuanchao's son, and he seems honest and down-to-earth. How could he run New Era Restaurant into the ground?"

Wang Erhai gave a wry smile:

"Don't blame him. If anyone's to blame, blame his wife Lan Menglian. That woman only comes up with bad ideas. Actually, as long as they kept the team you built, Uncle Chunsheng, New Era Restaurant wouldn't have become that bad no matter what. But Lan Menglian came up with ideas to increase revenue and cut costs—not only did she fire all the waiters, she even fired the head chef He Dahé!"

Hearing this, Niu Chunsheng gave a wry smile:

"How could they do that? Those waiters all had connections, and He Dahé's farm cooking was superb. I spent a lot of effort hiring him back then, and they just fired him like that?"

Wang Erhai sighed:

"So I said, that restaurant is already ruined. If it weren't ruined, I wouldn't be running around everywhere looking for agricultural product sales channels now!"

Wang Erhai also said:

"This was my mistake. I shouldn't have transferred New Era Restaurant to Liang Xinghua in the first place. That restaurant had been run for so many years, and now it's just ruined like that. It's really a pity."

Niu Chunsheng said instead:

"Things always move forward. There's nothing to pity. In life, one must look forward and not stand still forever."

Wang Erhai said at this time: "By the way, I've cultivated two hundred mu of land on my side. If the hotel needs rice, they can come to me, and I can give them a bigger discount!"

Niu Chunsheng was surprised again:

"Two hundred mu—that's not a small amount. Lixin Grand Hotel definitely can't take it all!"

Then he hurriedly gave a suggestion: "I think you should find sales channels as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could set up an Agricultural Products Distribution Company in County Town, and then use your connections to see who wants some, and have the company connect with them!"

Wang Erhai nodded:

"I had exactly this idea. Once I finish handling the things on my hands, I'll set up an Agricultural Products Distribution Company. Besides selling my own farm products, I can also help fellow villagers sell other farm products!"

After leaving Niu Chunsheng's place, Wang Erhai rushed to the company without stopping.

Huo Guoqiang said that the company side said there was an emergency meeting, and all executives needed to meet together.

Wang Erhai asked what the matter was, but Huo Guoqiang said they would talk when they met at the company.
