Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

They soon arrived at the Subway Station; Wang Xiaohua got off the car, said goodbye to Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan, and went to take the subway.

As soon as Wang Xiaohua left, Wang Dashan couldn't help but say to Du Xiaojuan:

"Can you not talk about me like that in front of my Third Brother? You make me look Useless; I've been busy running around these days and it's Tiring enough, so stop adding to the chaos, okay?"

Du Xiaojuan was surprised:

"Come on, what's wrong with saying a couple of things about you? Don't be so sensitive, okay? Are you still unwilling to Admit that whether it's cultural knowledge or dealing with people, you Indeed fall short of your Third Brother? Besides, who caused you to be this busy these days? If you hadn't told your dad about his Condition, would things be like this?"

Wang Dashan said angrily:

"Fine fine fine, you're Reasonable, you've said it all, so I'll shut up, alright! I can't be as cold-blooded as you, abandoning even your parents; my dad has Cancer, so I'm definitely bringing him for treatment!"

Du Xiaojuan got angry at Wang Dashan's Sarcastic/Irony mockery:

"Hey, what do you Mean by that? We're discussing the matter, so why drag my parents into it? Wang Dashan, I'm Warning you — don't take the anger you got elsewhere out on me, or I won't put up with you!"

"Won't put up with me?" Wang Dashan Laughed: "I'm afraid it's me who's put up with you too long; from the start I shouldn't have listened to you on everything, making me look like I Eat soft rice!"

"Aren't you just Eating my soft rice! You ate it, so own it; stand straight for the beating! If it weren't for me, whether you could even hold onto that Shanhai Real Estate is another story! What? Now that you've got a bit of money in hand, you want to rebel?"

Du Xiaojuan retorted directly.

She's just like that — very domineering personality!

Not to mention she just gave birth not long ago, her Emotions were unstable to begin with.

Wang Dashan still spoke to her like that, so naturally she wouldn't hold back on Wang Dashan.

She also said:

"If we continue then continue; if we can't make it work, then scram! Don't think I can't manage without you — face facts: you're the one who can't manage without me, understand?"

Wang Dashan was left speechless.

Du Xiaojuan still wasn't Satisfied:

"Look how spoiled you are! Don't even know your own weight! Back then your Third Brother told you not to tell your dad about his Condition; if you'd listened to him, would there be this whole mess now?"

"Am I supposed to just watch my dad die!" Wang Dashan suddenly shouted.

Du Xiaojuan shouted even louder at him:

"Your dad's current state — whether he can survive this month is another story! Let me say something unpleasant: not treating him might let him live longer; you're just stupidly stubborn, don't know how to assess the situation, and are selfish — for the sake of your so-called conscience and illusory Morality, you ignored the facts and told your dad his Condition! I'm telling you, Wang Dashan: if your dad passes away within three months, the Responsibility is all on you! Because if he didn't treat it, with his physical state, lasting at least a year and a half would be No problem!"

Wang Dashan was so angry his whole body Trembled, yet he couldn't Refute Du Xiaojuan's words.

Because he knew, Du Xiaojuan was right.

Du Xiaojuan's words were like a sharp surgical Knife, slicing him open without reservation and laying him bare before cruel Reality.

He Indeed hadn't considered his father's situation; from start to finish he was controlled by an obsession — he didn't want to live in regret later for not treating his dad, he wanted to stand on the moral high ground, hypnotize himself, and shout to everyone: I did my best, my conscience is clear!

As for how his dad actually was, he never carefully considered it.

Let alone combining his own work situation, family situation, his two other brothers' situations, and his parents' situation to comprehensively consider this matter.

He doesn't have the Funeral Item for that — such complex things he can't figure out!

"Alright, let's not say anything else; I don't want to get back home and, facing your parents and our kids, still Argue over this little thing! I've said what needed saying today; if you won't listen, then forget it!"

Seeing Wang Dashan too angry to speak, Du Xiaojuan took the Initiative to give Wang Dashan a way down.

Wang Dashan suddenly looked at her and asked:

"In your eyes, am I really that useless?"

Du Xiaojuan didn't know whether to Cry Laugh:

"Don't be so sensitive, okay? I didn't say you're useless!"

"Then why say such cold, heartless things to me? And belittle me as totally worthless…"

"Stop, that's enough! Don't say more!" Du Xiaojuan knew that however she Explained to Wang Dashan, it would never be clear; besides, what she just said were all Honest Truth, nothing to Explain — "Let's end this here. Once we're home, I'll keep taking care of the kid, you keep taking your dad for treatment, OK?"

Wang Dashan held a breath of anger in his chest with nowhere to vent.

Du Xiaojuan was like this, so he was too Embarrassed/shy to argue further.

But the displeasure in his heart won't just dissipate on its own because he doesn't speak it.

They say marriage's test starts from having kids.

Once kids are born, everything changes.

Not to mention Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan not only had a kid, but also ran into Wang Dashan's dad being diagnosed with Liver Cancer!

These Negative emotions spread from Wang Zhanggen to Wang Dashan; Wang Dashan's Emotions would surely Affect how he gets along with Du Xiaojuan.

Not to mention Du Xiaojuan now takes care of the kid, having to feed Milk every few days, unable to sleep a full night — her mood was bad to begin with.

So Quarrels became inevitable.

Du Xiaojuan didn't take this Quarrel to heart much.

She felt quarrels between spouses are unavoidable; as long as after quarreling they can grind in more tacit understanding, that's a Good Thing.

Too bad Wang Dashan didn't think that way.

He increasingly felt Du Xiaojuan Looked Down On him, increasingly disliked Du Xiaojuan's domineering Attitude.

He's a Big Man — needs dignity, needs Face (reputation), especially in front of Outsiders.

So when the two returned home, although on the Surface things seemed calm again, a crack had already formed between them.

Back to Wang Xiaohua's side: Wang Xiaohua boarded the subway and messaged Li Jianjia on WeChat, saying he'd come find her in a bit.

At this time Li Jianjia already knew about Wang Xiaohua's father being diagnosed with cancer, and asked with Concern:

"How's your dad doing?"

Xiao Hua replied honestly:

"The situation isn't too optimistic; his mental state isn't good."

Li Jianjia comforted him:

"Don't think too much. Let your eldest and second brothers take care of your dad. You don't have the ability to help much right now anyway."

"I know. Let's not talk about it now. I'll tell you when I arrive."

"Alright, alright. Then hurry to the Subway Station and let me know. I'll come pick you up."

Li Jianjia sent that one sentence, then remembered something and hurriedly sent another message:

"Oh right, the Prison called. They said something happened with my dad and want me to go to the Prison tomorrow. Can you come with me tomorrow?"
