Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Now Liang Xinghua disagrees with us going inside to perform transcendence for his mother, what do we do?"

Wang Erhai asked Wang Xiaohua this one sentence.

He also said:

"Could it be we really have to pry open the door and go in?"

In his heart he actually felt that forcibly breaking in like that wasn't too good.

After all, that house now already belongs to Liang Xinghua.

Wang Xiaohua also felt that forcibly breaking in wasn't a wise move; what if Liang Xinghua suddenly ran back that day?

Even if Liang Xinghua doesn't run back, this matter will probably reach his ears, and then it's estimated the conflict will be stirred up even bigger.

Although Liang Xinghua has no real ability, offending him, he probably can't stir up much trouble.

But if we really do this, what difference is there between us and the village tyrants?

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Actually, whether Wu Banxian can transcend the evil ghost isn't important at all; the most important thing is to make our dad feel that Wu Banxian has transcended the evil ghost."

Wang Erhai listened and felt it was a bit circuitous:

"Third Brother, what do your words mean?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"In a bit I'll give Wu Banxian a call, give him a heads-up, and have him say the evil ghost has already run out of the haunted house, and performing transcendence outside will do."

Wang Erhai hesitated somewhat:

"Saying it like this, will our dad believe it?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"If it comes out of our mouths, that old thing absolutely won't believe it even if beaten to death, but if it comes out of Wu Banxian's mouth, that's a different story; no matter how absurd the words, he'll believe them! Remember before when Wu Banxian made him eat cow dung? He actually believed it without a doubt!"

Wang Erhai thought of that matter and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Back then Wu Banxian said Wang Dashan's fate pattern was "wealth without children"; Wang Zhanggen initially blamed it on Du Xiaojuan, thinking Du Xiaojuan was a chicken that doesn't lay eggs, but after going to ask Wu Banxian, Wu Banxian instead said it was Wang Zhanggen's own cause that led to Wang Dashan having wealth without children, and Wang Zhanggen had to eat shit in front of the whole village to break this fate pattern.

Wang Zhanggen gritted his teeth and actually agreed, even had Li Xiulan help go find fermented cow dung, and was just about to eat it in front of the whole village when Wu Banxian called him again, saying he only needed to go apologize to Du Xiaojuan and admit fault, and only then did he avoid eating shit, after which he was grateful to Wu Banxian and promptly went to apologize to Du Xiaojuan.

This matter was actually orchestrated by Wang Xiaohua behind the scenes; all of Wu Banxian's words and actions were the result of Wang Xiaohua's guidance from behind.

Now to make Wang Zhanggen believe the evil ghost has already run out of the haunted house, that's absolutely many times easier than making Wang Zhanggen believe eating shit can break the fate pattern.

So Wang Xiaohua had little worry about this.

Thus he immediately ran outside the house to call Wu Banxian and coordinate, avoiding being heard by Wang Zhanggen.

Wu Banxian received Wang Xiaohua's call, learned the situation, and readily agreed:

"This is absolutely no problem; when we go for grave relocation the day after tomorrow, I'll first go take a look at that haunted house, then tell your father the evil ghost has run off, give him a psychological preset first, and then when performing the ritual in the evening, we can justifiably go somewhere else to perform transcendence."

Wang Xiaohua however said:

"Telling him that day, won't it be a bit sudden? Why don't you come take a look tomorrow."

Wu Banxian however had some worry:

"But making a special trip would also seem sudden."

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Just say you're going to a nearby village to tell fortunes, happened to pass by Shanggou Village, and then conveniently came by to take a look."

Wu Banxian readily agreed:

"Fine, then I'll come by tomorrow afternoon!"

Wang Xiaohua hung up Wu Banxian's call, then went to find Wang Erhai and told Wang Erhai not to tell Wang Zhanggen about Liang Xinghua unwilling to give us the keys for now.

Wang Erhai nodded in agreement; even if Wang Xiaohua didn't specially mention it, he wouldn't tell Wang Zhanggen.

If we say it now, and later say the evil ghost ran from the haunted house to somewhere else, that would seem a bit deliberate.

Right then, Wang Zhanggen returned from wandering outside and asked Wang Erhai:

"Got the keys?"

Wang Erhai then said:

"No, I went to town and discovered New Era Restaurant went bankrupt, Xiong Hua Shu and his wife weren't there."

Wang Zhanggen was somewhat surprised:

"No way, how did that restaurant go bankrupt so fast under those two in-laws?"

Wang Erhai gave a dry laugh:

"I don't know the reason either; couldn't get through on the phone."

Wang Zhanggen then said: "Why don't I personally call Liang Xinghua."

Wang Erhai panicked at once; if Wang Zhanggen personally called Liang Xinghua, he'd probably learn the truth of the matter.

If Wang Zhanggen finds out Liang Xinghua is such a white-eyed wolf, he probably won't be angered half to death!

You must know back then Liang Xinghua was able to enter Liguo Mountain because Wang Zhanggen took the initiative to yield the foreman position to him!

Yet now being treated this way by Liang Xinghua, Wang Zhanggen absolutely won't be able to swallow this anger!

"Dad, let's not, this matter we'll handle..."

Wang Erhai's reason sounded a bit pale.

It was still the reason Wang Xiaohua gave that convinced Wang Changgen:

"Dad, don't you always say it's against the rules for an elder to call a younger generation? You're not willing to take the initiative to call us three sons, but you're willing to call an outsider like Liang Xinghua?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Changgen immediately waved his hand:

"Then you guys contact Liang Xinghua again later! I won't go meddle!"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai let out a breath of relief:

"Dad, don't worry. I'll call again tomorrow. Xiong Hua Shu probably has something else keeping him busy today."

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Wang Changgen urged Wang Erhai again to call Liang Xinghua and ask for the key.

Wang Erhai agreed readily, putting on a show of calling Liang Xinghua in front of Wang Changgen, but actually dialed Wang Xiaohua's number.

Wang Xiaohua's phone was on silent. It rang for a long while without being answered.

Wang Erhai said to Wang Changgen:

"He didn't pick up again. Let's call him again later."

Wang Changgen was deeply puzzled:

"Strange, why wouldn't Xinghua answer the phone? Could something have happened to him?"

Wang Erhai said:

"Dad, don't overthink it. He's probably just too busy. I'll contact Xiong Hua Shu again later!"

Wang Changgen said nothing more.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Wu Banxian, following Wang Xiaohua's instructions, "passed by" Shanggou Village on schedule, then came over to the Wang Family's side.

Seeing Wu Banxian approach, Wang Changgen hurriedly greeted him warmly:

"Wu Banxian, what brings you here? Isn't the grave relocation tomorrow?"

Wu Banxian said with a laugh:

"I went to a nearby village to read feng shui for someone, happened to pass by here, so I came in to take a look!"

Wang Changgen busily said:

"That's great. Come sit at my home, have a cup of tea before you go!"

Wu Banxian said:

"No need for tea. I'm rushed to get things done. I just thought, why don't we go take a look at that haunted house first, so we can prepare for tomorrow's transcendence ritual ceremony!"

Wang Changgen frowned:

"But, I haven't gotten the key to that haunted house yet!"

Wu Banxian hurriedly said:

"No matter. I'll just walk around the outside of the house and take a look!"

Wang Changgen said:

"Then I'll trouble you, Wu Banxian!"
