Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Didn't you say you don't believe in that stuff?"

Wang Erhai glanced at Zhang Yueran, feeling a bit surprised by Zhang Yueran's reaction.

"This stuff is superstitious; if a Feng Shui Master can put your mind at ease, then what's the harm in inviting him over to take a look?"

Zhang Yueran said as much.

"Wife, you're so considerate!"

Wang Erhai smiled knowingly.

He felt that being able to marry Zhang Yueran was truly his great fortune.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had managed to withdraw from Liguo Mountain in time.

If he had continued working at Liguo Mountain, he really wouldn't dare guarantee that, facing that Song and Dance Troupe, facing the secret temptations of Huo Guoqiang and Wu Moli and the others, he could have kept holding himself together; after all, human nature is something that cannot withstand testing.

The two were chatting when, at this moment, a sound came from inside the Bedroom — Wang Xiaohua's voice.

"Ugh!"

Wang Xiaohua propped himself up halfway on the bed and vomited all over the floor.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Erhai hurried over to check the situation.

"Second Brother, sorry, I couldn't hold it in, dirtied your floor, Sister-in-law she, she won't have any objections, right……"

Wang Xiaohua's eyes were still hazy, his weak tone carrying guilt.

"I'll go get you a trash can!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly fetched a trash can over, letting Wang Xiaohua vomit into the trash can.

At this time Zhang Yueran had already come in holding a broom and mop.

Taking the initiative to clean up the vomit on the floor.

"Wife, I'll handle the cleaning, you go rest!"

Wang Erhai said busily.

But Zhang Yueran said:

"You take your Third Brother out to the Living Room to sit for a bit; there are oranges in the Refrigerator, you cut a slit in an orange, add rock sugar, take it to steam, then give it to your Third Brother to eat; this sobers you up fast; once he's sobered up, he should feel relieved. This room is too stuffy; he's uncomfortable staying here; I'll clean it up cleanly and air it out, then let your Third Brother come back in to rest later."

Wang Erhai's eyes were full of gratitude; he nodded and said:

"Good, good!"

He then took Wang Xiaohua out to the Living Room.

Wang Xiaohua didn't want to vomit in the Living Room; although Wang Erhai gave him a trash can, he was afraid the smell would get everywhere.

So he went to the Toilet, shut the door, and vomited.

Wang Erhai, meanwhile, busily went to the Kitchen to make rock sugar steamed orange.

After Wang Xiaohua finished vomiting and came out, Wang Erhai had also finished the rock sugar steamed orange.

He gave Wang Xiaohua one to eat; Wang Xiaohua felt his stomach much more comfortable, and the alcohol had also worn off considerably.

"Second Brother, sorry, caused trouble for you and Sister-in-law."

Wang Xiaohua, heart full of guilt, spoke apologetic words.

"Don't stand on ceremony with me! We're real brothers!"

Zhang Yueran finished cleaning the Bedroom, walked out and also said:

"Family doesn't speak two families' words; whatever you have going on you can tell us, just don't bottle it up inside and ruin yourself; look at it more openly; you're still very young; there's still a whole lot of days to live in the future; besides, Jianjia certainly wouldn't want you to have a bad life."

Wang Xiaohua hung his head, his nose stinging slightly.

"Indeed, Jianjia certainly wouldn't want me like this right now……"

The reason Li Jianjia chose to jump from the building had another very important cause: she didn't want to become his burden.

If he became decadent because of this, even depraved, wouldn't that be letting down Li Jianjia's expectations for him?

He must carry Li Jianjia's expectations for him and live on strongly!

Not only live on strongly, but live even better!

So that Li Jianjia's spirit in heaven, looking down, could find solace.

Wang Xiaohua's heart still ached terribly, but his knot had already opened a little; he already had a reason to go on strongly.

"Second Brother, Sister-in-law, I want to go handle Jianjia's remains tomorrow; after handling it, I'll go back to Beijing to study……"

Wang Xiaohua suddenly said this one sentence.

"Fine, I and Erhai will go with you together!" Before Wang Erhai could speak, Zhang Yueran took the initiative and said so.

It just so happened tomorrow was Saturday; she didn't have class.

Wang Erhai then asked:

"Does this matter need to be mentioned to Big Brother's side?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"You tell Big Brother, but don't let Dad and Mom know; Dad's still expecting Jianjia to give him a grandson; he's currently undergoing chemotherapy, his body's already very weak; better not go stimulate him."

"Good, good; I'll call Big Brother in a bit and tell him. Once you're sober, go take a shower; after showering, go to sleep early."

Taking advantage of Wang Xiaohua showering, Wang Erhai gave Wang Dashan a call.

"What? Something like this actually happened?"

Wang Dashan was also extremely shocked to learn that Li Jianjia had jumped from a building.

You have to understand, just this morning the three brothers had accompanied Li Jianjia together to cremate her father.

Unexpectedly, not even a full day had passed before another tragedy like this occurred.

"How is Third Brother doing? You have to persuade him more!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly asked with concern.

He was also afraid Wang Xiaohua wouldn't be able to figure things out.

"Third Brother is with me right now, rest assured, nothing will happen to him."

Wang Erhai replied like this, and then also instructed:

"Don't let Dad and Mom know about this for now, especially Dad."

"Okay okay, I won't tell them." This time, Wang Dashan was surprisingly obedient and didn't act on his own initiative anymore.

He also said:

"Tomorrow I have to take Dad to the hospital for chemotherapy, I'm afraid I can't go back, and even if I do go back I wouldn't know how to tell Dad."

Wang Erhai said:

"Fine, you just handle your side of things, I'll handle Third Brother's side."

Wang Dashan asked at this time:

"After Jianjia is cremated, where will she be buried? Buried at our Shangou Village ancestral graves?"

"I'm not too clear on this, it depends on how Third Brother handles it."

Wang Dashan frowned:

"If she's buried at our hometown ancestral graves, I'm afraid it'll be a bit troublesome. Although Jianjia married Third Brother, she didn't have children, so according to the rules she can't enter the ancestral graves. I'm afraid Dad won't agree, Uncle won't agree either..."

Wang Erhai knew Wang Dashan's worry had a certain principle to it.

But he still said:

"Let's not think so much for now! Let's handle the matter at hand first, didn't we say not to let Dad know first?"

"Fine, then let's handle the matter at hand first!"

Although Wang Erhai said this, after he hung up Wang Dashan's call, he still went to ask Wang Xiaohua a question:

"Third Brother, after you take your wife for cremation tomorrow, how do you plan to handle her ashes? Send them back to the hometown for burial?"

Wang Xiaohua shook his head:

"She's not familiar with that place, I don't want her living alone in a strange place."

"Then what you mean is..." Wang Erhai asked tentatively.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Just let Jianjia and her father both live in that house of her family. That's where she grew up, where she was once happy."

Wang Erhai was surprised:

"Such a big house, you're just using it to place the two of them, father and daughter's ashes?"

Now Li Jianjia and Li Zhongxian had both passed away, and Zhao Xintong had run abroad and lost contact.

So this Li Family property naturally fell into Wang Xiaohua's hands.

Wang Erhai felt that even if he didn't live there himself, it could be sold.

Using it just to place ashes was too wasteful.

But Wang Xiaohua said:

"As long as the two of them, father and daughter, can rest peacefully, that's good..."
