Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai arrived at the street corner and waited for half an hour without seeing any sign of Liang Xinghua; he felt utterly speechless inside, so he called Liang Xinghua again:

"Xiong Hua Shu, you still haven't come over?"

Liang Xinghua, however, said:

"Erhai, I've thought it over. As for my mother's matter, you don't need to worry about it. Later I'll go find a Feng Shui Master myself to perform the transcendence for her. You go back. I still have some things to deal with here, so I won't come see you."

Wang Erhai's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing these words.

He had a feeling that he had been played by Liang Xinghua:

"No, Xiong Hua Shu, if you have any opinion of me, just say it directly. I helped you so much, yet you actually treat me like this?"

Wang Erhai truly couldn't hold back, and asked just this one sentence.

Liang Xinghua let out a dry heh-heh laugh:

"Erhai, I really do have something I can't get away from. My mother's matter also truly doesn't need you to worry about it. Anyway, thank you. That's it!"

"Don't hang up yet!" Wang Erhai shouted loudly, then questioned: "You wouldn't think that me asking someone to perform the transcendence for your mother is harming you, would you? What kind of person do you take me for? Search your conscience and ask yourself, when have I ever harmed you?"

Wang Erhai grew more and more agitated as he spoke.

After all, he truly had helped Liang Xinghua with many major favors, even once making Liang Xinghua the head of Liguo Mountain's Human Resources Subsidiary!

It would not be an exaggeration to say he was Liang Xinghua's great benefactor!

Now just asking Liang Xinghua to hand over a key, to perform a transcendence for his mother who hanged herself to become such an evil ghost, without him even having to pay the transcendence fee — he actually wasn't willing!

Such a small matter, and he still made things difficult for Wang Erhai like this; Wang Erhai really got a bit angry.

"Wang Erhai, since you've asked the question to this extent!" Liang Xinghua stopped pretending too, and directly laid his cards on the table: "Why did you transfer the New Era Restaurant to me back then? Wasn't it just because you couldn't manage it anymore? I was stupid too, believed everything you said, and ended up being screwed over by you terribly. Now the job at Liguo Mountain is lost, the restaurant can't be managed either, and from now on I don't even know what work to do — and all of this was caused by you, Wang Erhai!"

Wang Erhai was instantly dumbstruck.

At this moment he realized that for all the help he had given Liang Xinghua, in Liang Xinghua's eyes he was actually such a person!

Wang Erhai didn't want to say another word; his heart had turned completely cold.

It's just a key, isn't it? If Liang Xinghua won't give it, then when the time comes he'll go pry the door open and go in to perform the transcendence!

Anyway, Liang Xinghua won't return to Shangou Village. Even if he wanted to go back, his wife wouldn't agree to him going back!

"Fine, since you think that way, there's nothing more to say. I'm hanging up."

Wang Erhai said this one sentence and was about to hang up the phone.

He couldn't even be bothered to explain anymore.

One can only say that the reason some people suffer hardship is entirely their own doing!

However, Liang Xinghua still wanted to speak; he said loudly:

"Don't hang up yet. I haven't finished what I want to say!"

"Mm, fine, I'm listening. Go ahead!" Wang Erhai forcefully endured the anger in his heart.

He wanted to hear just how many more absurd things Liang Xinghua could spout.

Liang Xinghua asked very seriously at this moment:

"Tell me honestly. Back when I was pulled down from the head position of Liguo Mountain's Human Resources Subsidiary, was it you pulling strings behind the scenes?"

Wang Erhai was even more astonished upon hearing this.

Then he was rendered so speechless he couldn't help but laugh.

"Heh-heh, the way you put it — how is it so funny?"

Wang Erhai indeed found Liang Xinghua's statement very funny.

If he really wanted to treat Liang Xinghua that way, then why would he have brought Liang Xinghua into Liguo Mountain in the first place?

He felt Liang Xinghua's brain had just gotten waterlogged!

Liang Xinghua continued to press:

"Just answer my question directly. Don't change the subject on me! You changing the subject — is it because you have a guilty conscience?"

Wang Erhai laughed speechlessly:

"Xiong Hua Shu, if you really think that way, then I have nothing more to say. That's it. Not talking anymore."

Wang Erhai didn't argue, because he knew Liang Xinghua had come questioning him with the answer already in mind. No matter what he said, Liang Xinghua definitely wouldn't believe him.

Since that's the case, why waste saliva?

He wasn't counting on Liang Xinghua to feed him anyway. Let Liang Xinghua think whatever he wants to think.

From now on, whether Liang Xinghua lives or dies has nothing to do with him!

He swore that from now on, even if Liang Xinghua knelt before him begging for help, he would never pay attention to Liang Xinghua again!

This kindness really was treated like donkey liver and lung!

It's too damn heart-chilling!

Wang Erhai returned from town carrying a stifled gloom. Wang Xiaohua saw his complexion wasn't quite right and asked:

"Second Brother, what happened?"

Wang Erhai told it truthfully:

"Liang Xinghua isn't willing to give us the key, doesn't agree to us going to perform the transcendence for his mother."

Wang Xiaohua was puzzled:

"Why doesn't he agree? Liang Xinghua used to be easy to talk to, right? Even when his mother hanged herself in our house, he didn't take the opportunity to blackmail us! And you helped him so much before! I thought asking him for the key would be a very simple matter!"

Wang Erhai said:

"The problem lies in the fact that I helped him before, and now the New Era Restaurant he took over can't stay afloat, so he feels I was setting him up when I transferred the restaurant to him, and he even thinks I secretly maneuvered to drive him away from Liguo Mountain! It really chills my heart!"

Wang Xiaohua, hearing this, merely showed slight surprise, then said:

"Although this was unexpected, it is also perfectly understandable."

"How is it perfectly understandable? I think Liang Xinghua has water on the brain! No, not water on the brain, but shit in the brain! If there weren't a big lump of shit in his head, he wouldn't have such thoughts about me! How many favors did I do for him before, calling me his benefactor would not be an overstatement! The reason he has fallen into his current predicament is entirely his own doing, and has not a penny's worth of relation to anyone else!"

Wang Erhai poured out a long string of grievances to Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"Big Brother, have you ever heard a saying? Great kindness becomes great enmity!"

"Great kindness becomes great enmity?" Wang Erhai was somewhat uncomprehending.

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"This phenomenon is actually quite common, whether in the township or in the city. If you analyze it carefully, you will discover that when a favor is too great, it leads to an inability to repay; inability to repay leads to psychological imbalance; psychological imbalance leads to alienation of the relationship, which then transforms into enmity. Especially when the helped party is in dire straits, feeling they can never repay this debt of gratitude in a lifetime, they will hypnotize themselves in their subconscious, and the most direct manifestation is finding reasons to invert black and white, treating the kindness as harm, imagining themselves as victims rather than beneficiaries, and then they can righteously avoid repaying this kindness."

With Wang Xiaohua analyzing it like this, Wang Erhai instantly felt it made a lot of sense.

Although Liang Xinghua hates him now, and there is the reason of Lan Menglian fanning the flames by his ear, the biggest reason is still that Liang Xinghua himself has a psychological problem!

It was because he was too good to Liang Xinghua, giving Liang Xinghua too much kindness!

The money Liang Xinghua borrowed from him before hasn't been repaid to this day!

Wang Erhai gave a bitter laugh and sighed:

"It seems in the future one really cannot be too good to others, especially to people who are neither relatives nor old acquaintances."
