Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua had long anticipated that there would be a drama over fighting for the inheritance after Li Jianjia left.

What he thought was that Zhao Xintong might run back from abroad to fight for that house.

But he never expected that before waiting for Zhao Xintong to return, he would be met by Li family relatives who were eight pole-lengths away.

One can only say, this world is just this realistic.

The world bustles, all for profit they come; the world teems, all for profit they go.

When there is profit to be made, relatives no matter how distant may all gather over to stir up trouble.

As for face and such, in the face of profit some people simply will not care.

Wang Xiaohua hung up Li Shunming's call, then went to tell Wan Zhiyuan that he had to make a trip back to his hometown to handle some matters left behind by the Li family.

Wan Zhiyuan nodded and replied:

"Then you go and return quickly. Our team's research work is about to enter a new stage. Just afraid if you leave for too long, you'll fall out of step and won't be able to keep up."

Wang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said truthfully:

"Zhiyuan, don't laugh at me, but actually I've already fallen out of step now, completely unable to keep up with your pace."

Speaking to here, Wang Xiaohua sighed:

"Perhaps I, this person, am just not suited for academic research."

Wan Zhiyuan, however, corrected him:

"Ours isn't purely academic research. Although it's also about making patents, this is actually technology R&D that has to land on the production line."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"This isn't the key point. The key point is I don't want to drag down your hind legs. How about this: you continue working according to your rhythm, don't worry about me. When I come back, I'll just help you do odd jobs, handle some administrative matters."

Wan Zhiyuan frowned slightly, somewhat not understanding:

"You also don't belittle yourself. Actually our research project really isn't extremely difficult. Chemistry-type research, predecessors have already laid a lot of foundations. As long as you put your heart into delving into it, do more experiments, as long as you're willing to persist, you'll always be able to produce results. Not like math research, where if you get it you get it, if you don't you don't."

Wan Zhiyuan having this thought is also very normal. This is just like the late Mr. Qian Xuesen would have the question: no matter how stupid a person is, by age 14 they should have learned calculus, right?

This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

In the eyes of geniuses, many pieces of knowledge can be mastered easily.

While in the eyes of ordinary people, things that are very simple in the eyes of geniuses may not be learned in a whole lifetime.

Take calculus for example. How many ordinary people never get started in a whole lifetime, never figure it out.

Wang Xiaohua knew that he absolutely did not count as a genius. At most he was just the relatively clever type among ordinary people, plus sufficient diligence, and just the right amount of luck. That was how he luckily tested into Tsinghua.

"Zhiyuan, thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I know my own weight. I've already decided. After I finish handling the county town matters and come back, I won't participate in research anymore. I'll just purely do odd jobs. Whatever non-research matters your team has, you can all let me help."

Wan Zhiyuan sighed and finally agreed:

"Alright. As long as you can come back to the team. But speaking of which, I really do have a lot of trivial matters that need someone to help handle."

Wang Xiaohua laughed and said:

"Thank you for understanding. Then when I come back, whatever matters you need handled, just speak up to me!"

The next day early morning, Wang Xiaohua boarded the plane flying to Guangzhou.

Returning to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, he immediately took a taxi back to the county town.

After returning to the county town, he went straight to Central Garden Community.

Arriving at the Li family house side, he discovered the door was closed.

Taking out the key to open the house door, he saw the house was intact and undamaged.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He was just afraid that Li Shunming those relatives would strike first to gain the upper hand, forcibly smash open the door to seize and occupy this house.

Because from Li Shunming's tone of speech he could judge, this person was very likely an extremely domineering and unreasonable bastard.

Now seeing Li Shunming hadn't come to encroach on this house, his suspended heart also settled down.

Entering inside the bedroom, looking at Li Jianjia's portrait of the deceased, and the urn placed in the display cabinet, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel grief well up from within.

"Jianjia, I'm back..."

After a period of not seeing, Li Jianjia's portrait of the deceased already had some dust fallen on it.

Wang Xiaohua found a cloth, dipped it in water, and helped her wipe it clean.

"Jianjia, someone wants to seize and occupy your house. You rest assured. I won't let the petty person succeed. This house belongs to you and your dad. No one can possibly snatch it away."

Just at this moment, ding-dong, ding-dong!

The doorbell sound came from outside the living room.

Wang Xiaohua knew, it should be Li Shunming who came.

But he wasn't afraid. Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth dams.

So he stood up to open the door.

Result: the house door had just opened, and he saw at the doorway outside, standing six or seven strangers.

These people Wang Xiaohua had never seen before.

But he could also guess one or two.

The one at the very front, around thirty years old, should be Li Shunming.

While those behind who were older in age, were probably Li family relatives.

"You're Wang Xiaohua?"

Li Shunming looked at Wang Xiaohua, his eyes carrying contempt.

It was obvious he looked down on Wang Xiaohua subconsciously because he saw Wang Xiaohua was small in stature.

"That's right, I am. You're Li Shunming?"

Li Shunming didn't answer Wang Xiaohua's question, but spoke with sarcastic irony:

"My cousin's taste is really that bad, how could she find a half-cripple to be her husband?"

Wang Xiaohua didn't lose his composure because of those unpleasant words; he asked expressionlessly:

"What do you all want coming here?"

A middle-aged woman behind him spoke up at this moment:

"Wang Xiaohua, this house belongs to our Li Family. You're an outsider with a different surname, don't shamelessly occupy it. You should hand the house back to our Li Family!"

Wang Xiaohua laughed:

"You might as well just say you want me to give the house to your son. No need to beat around the bush like this."

Wang Xiaohua could tell at a glance that this middle-aged woman was Li Shunming's birth mother.

Because the two of them looked very alike, both having inverted triangular eyes, a sharp and mean physiognomy.

This person was indeed Li Shunming's birth mother; her name was Wang Zhaodi.

And the middle-aged man beside her was her husband, Li Bofu.

As for the several men and women behind them, they were all Li Bofu's relatives.

Seeing Wang Xiaohua speak like this, Li Bofu dropped the pretense too.

He said directly:

"Wang Xiaohua, we really are here to claim this house. This house is under my cousin's name, and I have a blood relation with him, so whether by sentiment or reason it should go to me. It's not the place of an outsider like you to inherit it."

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"You said it yourself, you're merely my father-in-law's cousin, not a real brother. What do you mean by sentiment and reason saying it should go to you? If we're talking sentiment and reason, even eight pole-lengths away it wouldn't be your and your son's turn to inherit!"

"It's not your turn, so it's an outsider's turn?" Li Shunming questioned coldly.

Wang Xiaohua replied with righteous confidence:

"Of course it's my turn. I'm Jianjia's husband! This house has already been transferred to Jianjia's name. She passed away, so by sentiment, by reason, and by law, I'm absolutely the first heir!"

Wang Xiaohua's attitude was extremely strong, not yielding an inch.

Because he knew the ugliness of human nature: bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

If he acted agreeable and open to negotiation, this bunch of bastards would absolutely climb on his head and shit.

Only with a strong attitude, not giving an inch, could he safeguard his lawful rights.

Only then could he help Jianjia guard this last piece of pure land belonging to her.

Wang Zhaodi spoke with sarcastic irony at this moment:

"I see Jianjia's death as deliberate murder by certain people, just to inherit her house! As Jianjia's relatives and elders, today we must demand an explanation!"
