Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Li Yuncui is right at home. How about I take you over to her place right now? Let's not talk about the blind date for now; you just go see if you click. If you do, we'll give Yaohua a heads-up later, and then lay everything out in the open!"

Li Xiulan said with a smile.

Because last time she and Wang Changgen took the initiative to set up Li Yuncui and Wang Xiaohua, it turned into a mix-up and nearly ruined the marriage fate between Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia, so this time acting as matchmaker, she was much more cautious!

"Good, good. Then let's go take a look right now!"

So the two sisters-in-law put down what they were holding and hurried off to Li Yuncui's home.

Li Yuncui's home was in a dilapidated old house not far inside the village.

And at this moment, inside this dilapidated old house, Li Yuncui was staying in a cramped bedroom, lying on the bed playing a mobile game.

She was playing a very popular new game released this year, called Honor of Kings.

Her mother, Luo Jiaxin, sat in the living room spacing out, sighing from time to time.

This daughter of hers truly made her worry herself to pieces.

Before, she went out and messed around; getting pregnant before marriage was bad enough.

Later she got together with Zhou Zhihao, yet she actually hooked up with another man — a dog can't change its habit of eating shit.

To tell the truth, even she, as the mother, felt some dislike for this daughter Li Yuncui.

This woman messes around everywhere, truly throwing away all the family's face!

Messing around would be one thing, but she can't even bring a partner back from her messing around — truly sin upon sin.

"Can't you stop playing with your phone? All day long you only know how to stare at your phone and play! Can you find a partner like this? When you're old later, let's see who will come take care of you!"

The more Luo Jiaxin thought, the angrier she got. She couldn't help but rush into the bedroom and shout at Li Yuncui.

"You people owe me responsibility. Who told you to give birth to me when you're this poor." Li Yuncui didn't even lift her head, saying this line lightly.

Luo Jiaxin was actually rendered speechless for a moment — she was truly about to be angered to death.

"Brother Lanling Wang, you're so handsome. Wanna queue up for ranked together next round?"

Li Yuncui shouted this line of voice chat at the mobile game.

Luo Jiaxin gritted her teeth in anger, just about to go snatch Li Yuncui's phone and smash it.

But right then, footsteps came from outside the living room.

"Jiaxin, you in?"

It was Li Xiulan's voice.

Hearing this, Luo Jiaxin hurried out to greet her:

"Sister Xiulan, what brings you here?"

Li Xiulan replied with a smile:

"I was free with nothing to do, so I came over to chat with you. This is my sister-in-law Zhao Lifen; she doesn't stay in Shanggou Village often. Do you still remember her?"

Luo Jiaxin glanced at Zhao Lifen and busily said:

"Wang Zhangtian's wife, right? Remember, remember. A bit of an impression!"

Zhao Lifen asked with a beaming smile:

"Heard your daughter came back. Where is she?"

Luo Jiaxin said in a displeased tone:

"Hiding in the room playing on her phone. Call her and she won't listen. Truly too insensible!"

Speaking up to here, Luo Jiaxin couldn't help but sigh:

"Think back to when your family's Xiaohua and my family's Yuncui were studying at Shanggou Village Primary School — one was first in the whole class, the other second. In a shake, over ten years have passed. How come the difference between the two is so huge? Your Xiaohua became a top student, while my Yuncui couldn't even test into a university. Ai, who knows what's going on!"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Perhaps this is just their different fates. If you really can't figure it out, go find someone to check the feng shui!"

Zhao Lifen then said:

"Jiaxin, how about you call your daughter out?"

Hearing this, Luo Jiaxin was stunned.

She suddenly remembered Zhao Lifen has a son, who seems to also not be married yet.

She thought: Could Zhao Lifen have come for a blind date? If that's really the case, then she must seize this opportunity!

After all, her own daughter is practically becoming damaged goods. Marry her off as fast as possible if she can be married off!

So she busily said:

"Good, good. I'll go call her out right now!"

Luo Jiaxin hurried into Li Yuncui's room, discovered Li Yuncui was still gaming, and hurriedly snatched the phone away:

"Guests have come to the house. You go out and show your face, say hello. Don't be so rude!"

Li Yuncui's face was full of impatience:

"Mom, I'm in the middle of ranked queue!"

Luo Jiaxin huffed angrily:

"I don't care what queue you're in. If you don't go out and say hello, I'll smash your phone!"

Li Yuncui was very displeased, but in the end she still agreed to go out.

She casually threw a piece of clothing on and went out with a sour face.

"Hello, Aunt Xiulan, hello to this aunt whose name I don't know. I'm Li Yuncui. I have other things to attend to, so you all drink tea and make yourselves at home. I won't disturb you any longer. If there's anything, just talk to my mom!"

After saying this, Li Yuncui turned around, snatched the mobile phone back from Luo Jiaxin's hand in one motion, and went back into the room to play games.

Luo Jiaxin's face showed some embarrassment, and she let out a dry laugh:

"Don't take offense, you all. My daughter is just like this, has a bit of a temper, but she's not a bad person. Sister Xiulan, you'd agree, right?"

Li Xiulan chuckled:

"Right, Yun Cui is actually quite polite!"

Zhao Lifen glanced at Li Yuncui and also felt this girl was pretty decent.

"Kids these days all love playing on their phones, can't be controlled. My Yaohua is the same way!"

With these words, Zhao Lifen tolerated Li Yuncui's shortcoming in a single sentence.

Most importantly, Li Yuncui's looks were passable. A height of 1.68 meters among girls in the Liangguang rural area already counted as fairly tall and slender.

Plus she had those big hips and big breasts!

One look and you could tell she was well-raised!

So Zhao Lifen's first impression of Li Yuncui was still quite good.

Mainly because she didn't know about Li Yuncui's past rotten affairs.

If she knew Li Yuncui had given birth to a child out of wedlock before, and later eloped with another man, her view of Li Yuncui would probably be quite different!

And at this time, on the other side.

Wang Zhanggen, Wang Zhangtian, Wang Erhai, Wang Xiaohua, Wang Yaohua — several big men — together with Wu Banxian, arrived in front of the Wang Family Ancestral Grave.

Wu Banxian burned incense, worshipped the gods and spirits, and conducted the grave-opening ceremony.

Then they started digging the grave.

The grave-digging work was operated by several younger juniors taking turns.

Because the Golden Urn was buried not deep, in less than an hour they dug out the Golden Urn.

Next came the bone collection phase.

Wu Banxian put on the advance-prepared gloves, spread out a straw mat to place the corpse bones.

He also specifically had Wang Xiaohua help hold an umbrella to shade the Golden Urn and the corpse bones.

He said bones cannot be directly exposed to sunlight; this is the rules.

Wang Xiaohua didn't ask much, honestly helped hold the umbrella.

Then he just watched like this as Wu Banxian's gloved hand reached into the Golden Urn's opening.

One reach, and he pulled out half a white ant nest.

Dense white ants crawled chaotically inside the white ant nest, quite a few climbing onto Wu Banxian's hand.

Wu Banxian hurriedly slapped them off, only then knocking them down.

Then he hurriedly reached in and pulled out a second piece of white ant nest, a third, a fourth.

He pulled out five pieces of white ant nest in a row, and finally reached in for the bones inside, but discovered he couldn't pull out a single bone — only a handful of yellow earth came out.

Wu Banxian's face immediately changed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Things don't look too good..."
