Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Yaohua came to Li Yuncui's home with his parents, didn't say it was for a blind date, didn't bring a gift, just sat down, drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, had Luo Jiaxin come out to meet them, and then said their goodbyes and left.
Just as they went out the door, Zhao Lifen asked Wang Yaohua:
"Son, what do you think of that Li Yuncui? If you think she's alright, I'll have your aunt act as matchmaker to set it up; if not, then forget it."
A foolish grin appeared on Wang Yaohua's face:
"Pretty good, just don't know if she'll look favorably on me."
Wang Yaohua had been on so many blind dates that he'd developed a bit of self-doubt, so upon seeing a woman of Li Yuncui's looks, his first reaction was actually inferiority!
Even though Li Yuncui had given birth to a child, even though Li Yuncui had cohabited with someone else, he still felt a bit unworthy of her.
But this was normal too; he was even a bit older than Wang Dashan, and at this age, he didn't have the qualifications to be picky.
"Alright then, later I'll have your aunt help talk it up!"
Zhao Lifen's face showed delight; she always felt this time it would work out!
Wang Zhangtian, however, wore a worried frown. To speak honestly, having his son marry a woman who'd given birth was rather shameful, but he also knew his son didn't have much capability; wanting to find a normal girl probably wouldn't be easy, so as long as she wasn't a second marriage bringing a child, anything was fine.
"Just don't know if that Li Yuncui is the sort to settle down and live a proper life."
Wang Zhangtian blurted out this line.
He was just worried Li Yuncui wasn't steady.
Zhao Lifen said with a smile:
"Country kids are all honest; where would you find one who isn't steady? Just date for a bit first; if you discover she's not proper, then separate. Son, you agree, right?"
Wang Yaohua replied with a dry laugh:
"Mom, she might not even look favorably on me!"
But Zhao Lifen said:
"Have some confidence; you count as having a house and a car now!"
Wang Yaohua sighed:
"The car's second-hand, the house is a dilapidated small property rights house; neither can be shown off."
Zhao Lifen hurriedly said:
"You mustn't think like that; even a second-hand car, even a small property rights house — plenty of people still don't have them!"
The family of three returned to the Wang family courtyard, drove the car out the village entrance.
Arriving at the village entrance, they happened to run into Liang Xinghua bringing his wife and kids, riding a motorcycle back.
"Xinghua, back already!"
Wang Zhangtian politely gave a greeting.
Liang Xinghua saw Wang Zhangtian, and his heart gave a jolt.
Wang Zhangtian returning today was probably for the matter of transcending the evil ghost; after all, today wasn't any special day, and with that incident happening, he couldn't think of any other matter worth Wang Zhangtian's whole family running back to Shanggou Village for!
And now, Wang Zhangtian's family was about to leave!
Did this mean the Wang family had broken in and held a transcendence ritual at his home without his permission?
Thinking of this, Liang Xinghua grew even more unhappy.
Even a bit angry!
So he didn't even respond to Wang Zhangtian, just brought Lan Menglian and his daughter Liang Ailan and hurried into the village.
"What's up with Liang Xinghua? I greeted him and he actually ignored me!"
Wang Zhangtian was depressed beyond measure.
Zhao Lifen didn't think much of it, only said:
"Maybe they didn't hear."
Wang Zhangtian no longer paid it any mind.
The small sedan left the village entrance, driving all the way toward the county town.
And over at Shanggou Village, Liang Xinghua quickened his steps into his raw house that had doors and windows installed.
He'd already rehearsed in his heart the lines for cursing out the Wang family, but when he reached the door, he discovered the door was still tightly locked.
He took out his key, opened the door and went in; the room was covered in dust, without the slightest trace of anyone having entered!
Let alone any traces left by a transcendence ritual!
"Wang Zhanggen's family, they actually haven't come to perform the ritual yet?"
Liang Xinghua couldn't help but be surprised.
Lan Menglian said:
"Good they didn't come; just afraid they already did. You have to transcend your mother yourselves; no outsider has the right to dictate!"
Liang Xinghua frowned, heart full of puzzlement.
Lan Menglian added:
"In a bit you go to the Wang family, lay it out straight: not allowed to bring people in to transcend your mother. If they really want to come transcend her, the money you owe the Wang family must be written off in one stroke, and on top of that they have to give us fifty thousand more!"
Liang Xinghua gave a dry hehe laugh:
"Isn't that a bit like a lion's big mouth?"
Although Liang Xinghua also didn't want the Wang family to come transcend his mother, he had never thought of using this matter to blackmail the Wang family for a sum.
Lan Menglian, however, spoke with righteous confidence:
"What do you have to be embarrassed about? All of this is what the Wang Family owes you! Don't forget your mother was made to die by them, and Wang Erhai even tricked you into taking over that New Era Restaurant, causing us to lose so much money now!"
Liang Xinghua, hearing this, also felt it made a bit of sense.
At this time, Wang Zhanggen learned Liang Xinghua had returned, so he went to find Liang Xinghua to chat in high spirits.
He just thought, Liang Xinghua has it rough, the current situation is a bit like him when he was young!
He had no other meaning, just planned to show some concern, if there was anything he could help with, he would help a bit.
"Xinghua, how come you came back without saying a word?"
Wang Zhanggen, wearing a smile on his face, stepped into that dilapidated raw house.
Lan Menglian, seeing Wang Zhanggen come over, thought Wang Zhanggen had come to talk about the transcendence of evil ghosts matter.
So she immediately spoke up to declare her attitude:
"Wang Zhanggen, my husband's mother even if she became an evil ghost, doesn't need you Wang Family people to interfere, don't even think about entering this house to hold a transcendence ritual!"
Wang Zhanggen, hearing this, immediately froze in expression, face full of shock.
Only at this time did he understand why his Second Brother called Liang Xinghua several times, and Liang Xinghua didn't answer any of them.
"So you all came back today not to give us the keys, but to prevent us from prying the door open to enter?"
Wang Zhanggen's mind was quite sharp at this moment, he saw through the essence of the matter at once.
"That's right!" Lan Menglian answered coldly, then also said: "This house already belongs to us, you want to come in to perform the ritual, that's not impossible either, all the debts my husband owes your Wang Family must be written off in one stroke, additionally you must give us another fifty thousand yuan, otherwise don't even think about coming here to perform rites!"
Wang Zhanggen, hearing Lan Menglian's words, directly got angry to the point of laughing.
Those debts Liang Xinghua owes, he never planned to ask for them back at all!
If he really wanted them back, he would have gone to collect long ago!
But so many years have passed, he hasn't collected even once!
Now Lan Menglian saying these words really made him very heartsick!
His gaze looked toward Liang Xinghua, and he asked:
"Xinghua, are these words of Lan Menglian your meaning?"
Liang Xinghua's eyes were somewhat evasive, clearly also knowing his wife's words were a bit excessive.
But he and his wife are a single entity, so he still chose to stand on his wife's side.
So he said:
"Brother Changgen, my mother's matter, truly doesn't need to trouble you all to worry about."
Wang Zhanggen, hearing this, was disappointed beyond measure:
"Liang Xinghua ah Liang Xinghua, my Wang Family treated you not poorly, and you repay us like this?"
Lan Menglian retorted:
"What do you mean your Wang Family treated my husband not poorly, your Wang Erhai harmed my husband terribly, do you know that! Still have the face to come here yapping! Scram!"
