Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"I didn't tell them to move out; I said I'd move out myself. They're the ones insisting on leaving — who else can they blame!"

Du Xiaojuan was also exasperated, and couldn't help but say:

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have had this child. Suffering this much wasn't enough — it's caused all these conflicts on top of it!"

Du Xiaojuan was speaking the truth.

Before having a child, she and Wang Dashan were harmonious as lute and zither, treating each other with mutual respect; one could say they were a model couple in others' eyes without exaggeration.

Even during pregnancy, the two were still very harmonious.

No conflicts arose due to the lack of sex life.

But once the child was born, everything changed.

Wang Dashan's attitude toward her changed.

Her own temperament changed as well.

All kinds of messy things followed one after another, making their relationship even worse.

She didn't know why things had turned out like this.

In short, now it's not only exhausting, but also chaotic.

Back when Xiao Du Technology received investment from Zhonghai Group, she, as the Founder, was nearly squeezed out, yet she didn't feel as tired as she does now.

One can only say that sometimes managing a family well may be even harder than running a listed company.

Otherwise why would those billionaires worth tens of billions, those actresses beautiful as celestials, still get divorced, still make a mess of their family lives.

"Big Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, say a few words less!"

Wang Xiaohua hurried over again to smooth things over.

He busily said to Wang Dashan:

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you two go upstairs to the Second Floor and calm Dad and Mom down, don't let them move out. I'll stay and say a few words to Eldest Sister-in-law."

Wang Xiaohua knew that in this situation, they absolutely couldn't let Dad and Mom move out.

If Dad and Mom really moved out, it would definitely create an irreparable rift between Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan; afterward, whenever they quarreled, they'd probably bring this up.

Wang Dashan looked at Du Xiaojuan resentfully; he felt Du Xiaojuan was getting more and more excessive.

It's just earning a bit of stinking money —

Is there a need to put on airs and give her the cold shoulder like this?

"Second Brother, hurry up and take Big Brother upstairs!"

Seeing Wang Dashan standing there unmoving, Wang Xiaohua hurriedly had Wang Erhai take Wang Dashan away.

Wang Erhai busily grabbed Wang Dashan:

"Big Brother, let's go upstairs and persuade Dad and Mom."

Only then did Wang Dashan leave reluctantly.

After Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai both went upstairs, before Wang Xiaohua could speak, Du Xiaojuan spoke first:

"Xiao Hua, you don't need to persuade me. Staying like this any longer, I'm about to get depression!"

Wang Xiaohua's expression trembled slightly; the two words "depression" stabbed his nerves.

You have to know his wife Li Jianjia committed suicide by jumping from a building because of depression.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I'm not here to persuade you."

Wang Xiaohua spoke, and hurriedly helped carry Du Xiaojuan's luggage:

"While they're all upstairs, let's hurry and go. I'll help you with the luggage."

Seeing Wang Xiaohua's action, Du Xiaojuan was stunned:

"You're..."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"You move out first; I'll handle the rest. I'll help you clean up the aftermath."

Du Xiaojuan looked surprised, and asked in puzzlement:

"Don't you think I'm being pretentious? Don't you think I'm making trouble without reason?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Not at all. Your demand is very reasonable. Just as you said a moment ago, if you really looked down on my parents, you'd have driven them out — why would you go to the trouble of moving out yourself?"

Seeing Wang Xiaohua like this, Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but feel moved.

If her own husband were half as open-minded as Wang Xiaohua, how could so many conflicts have arisen?

It's just a pity her own husband has a great physique and a handsome face, but no brains.

But this can't be blamed on anyone either; after all, her husband was chosen by herself. Wasn't it because Wang Dashan was tall and handsome that she agreed to his pursuit back then?

Later they separated for a while; when Wang Dashan came back seeking reconciliation, she agreed again — wasn't it precisely because she was infatuated with that body of his?

"Eldest Sister-in-law, don't take my big brother's words too to heart either. He's rather thick-skinned about many things, doesn't think as deeply as you do, and his pride is very strong. You understand what I mean. The main thing is you must take good care of yourself — absolutely don't let yourself fall into depression. Depression is terrifying. Anyway, just be good to yourself and you can't go wrong."

Wang Xiaohua sincerely advised Du Xiaojuan with these words.

Du Xiaojuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

She knew Wang Xiaohua's wife jumped to her death, and it was inseparably linked to depression.

Perhaps precisely because of this, Wang Xiaohua could better empathize with her current difficulty, knowing she wasn't overreacting, but was truly on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"Alright, I'll take good care of myself and won't hold so much against your eldest brother."

Wang Xiaohua helped Du Xiaojuan move out.

The house Du Xiaojuan rented was only a few hundred meters from her family's villa.

Although it wasn't a villa, it was still a large flat apartment of over 150 square meters.

After Du Xiaojuan moved in, she clearly felt it was much quieter.

Moreover, with a live-in nanny helping raise the child, she wouldn't be too busy to manage alone.

Wang Xiaohua and Du Xiaojuan exchanged a few polite pleasantries, then went back to the villa side.

Just as he returned to this side, Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face and asked:

"Where's Du Xiaojuan?"

Wang Xiaohua answered truthfully:

"Dad, she moved out."

Wang Zhanggen's face was gloomy, his mood depressed:

"When it comes down to it, this dying man of me has incurred her dislike! I don't care for this villa of hers, not living in it is fine too!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"If you don't live here, where will you live?"

Wang Zhanggen said in a fit of pique:

"I'm going back to Shangou Village, I'm giving up on treating this illness!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly persuaded:

"Dad, don't be impulsive, you just got approved for the trial drug qualification, it's the last thread of hope, you mustn't give up!"

Wang Erhai also chimed in to persuade:

"Yeah, you've treated it this far already, if you give up now, wouldn't all the money spent before have been wasted?"

At the mention of money being wasted, Li Xiulan also felt the pinch, so she also persuaded:

"Just stay and continue treatment, anyway it won't cost much money afterwards."

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Dad, back when Liu Xiaoli fell ill, didn't you not even dare go see her?"

As soon as Wang Xiaohua's words came out, Wang Zhanggen's expression trembled slightly, and for a moment he couldn't speak, nor make a fuss anymore.

That kind of fear of death, he understood better than anyone.

Back then, he didn't want to see Liu Xiaoli for the last time, wasn't it because he was afraid?

Now Du Xiaojuan having that kind of fear towards him, a dying man, is actually normal too.

It's just that in his heart he couldn't help feeling desolate.

To the extent that he fell silent for a moment, then couldn't help but redden his eyes and lament:

"Retribution, this is all retribution..."

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai looked at each other, both baffled by Wang Zhanggen's sudden outburst of weeping.

Wang Xiaohua just sighed gently.

And Li Xiulan said:

"What use is shouting these things now? Later when your body gets a bit better, we'll go back and burn a stick of incense for Liu Xiaoli!"
