Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua returned from Liang Xinghua's place, and before long they started the ritual.
Wu Banxian put on his Taoist robe, dancing and gesturing before that pile of construction debris, muttering incantations.
He circled three times to the left, three times to the right.
He burned yellow paper, wielded the peach wood sword.
He tossed copper coins, scattered glutinous rice.
After fussing for over half an hour, Wu Banxian told Wang Zhanggen that he had already transcended the evil ghost to reincarnation.
Now Wang Zhanggen could finally rest easy.
He felt as if granted a reprieve, his mood excellent, and even specially gave Wu Banxian an extra red envelope.
It could be called extremely generous.
Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua saw this and were both somewhat speechless, because the ritual fee had already been paid beforehand.
But they didn't say anything.
As long as this old man is happy, that's fine.
Only if he's happy can he live a bit longer.
If he's constantly worried and anxious, he probably really won't live much longer.
In the face of illness, psychological influence is actually very significant.
Maintaining a good mindset can indeed prolong life.
And those who are scared to death the moment cancer is detected generally won't live long either.
In a blink, it was early the next morning.
Liang Xinghua brought Lan Menglian back.
The marks from being beaten on Lan Menglian's face were still very obvious; surprisingly, she didn't make a huge scene, and didn't even mention divorce.
On the contrary, she actually became much more obedient.
Who knows what kind of psychology this is.
Liang Xinghua took the initiative to come to the Wang Family, gave Wang Erhai the ambulance fees he had helped with last night, but his face was dark the whole time, not a single word of thanks.
Someone who didn't know the truth would probably think the Wang Family owed him money.
Wang Erhai originally didn't want to accept it, but seeing Liang Xinghua giving him such a look, he didn't say anything more, accepted the money with peace of mind, then said he had to go to the County Town, and ignored Liang Xinghua, not even offering the polite courtesy of asking him to sit and drink tea.
Wang Zhanggen not only didn't give Liang Xinghua face, but deliberately asked him:
"Xinghua, that fifty thousand yuan you owe me, when are you paying it back?"
Liang Xinghua could only say resentfully: "I'll pay you back when I have money later."
Then he said he had business to attend to, and left in a sorry state.
Liang Xinghua returned home, furious to the point of dying.
He felt the whole Wang Family looked down on him, deliberately made things difficult for him, secretly trampled on him!
And at this time, on the other side.
Wang Erhai was driving, just about to go to the County Town; Wang Xiaohua also said he needed to go to the County Town, so he got into the passenger seat.
Li Jianjia's apartment — yesterday, people from Liguo Mountain called, saying the renovation was more or less done.
So Wang Xiaohua wanted to go take a look, and accept it by the way.
Arriving at the County City Side, Wang Erhai dropped Wang Xiaohua at the Central Garden, then went to handle his own matters; his Agricultural Products Distribution Company's business license was already obtained, and next he'd have plenty to be busy with.
Wang Xiaohua went upstairs alone, but just as he reached Li Jianjia's front door, he discovered the door was open, and there were four people inside.
They were none other than Li Jianjia's cousin Li Shunming, and his parents Li Bofu and Wang Zhaodi.
As well as the person in charge from Liguo Mountain's side who was liaising on this project, Foreman Liu.
Wang Xiaohua walked in, about to question Li Shunming and them what they were doing running over here.
But before he could speak, he was instead angrily questioned by Li Bofu:
"You little bastard, what did you renovate this house into? Can people still live in this? Simply ruining it!"
It turned out the project foreman Liu had been waiting here for Wang Xiaohua to come accept the work; he heard someone knocking, went to open the door, and found it wasn't Wang Xiaohua but three strangers, also looking completely bewildered.
Li Shunming and his parents, seeing the house renovated into a Yin Residence spirit hall, immediately exploded with rage, demanding Foreman Liu why he renovated it like this; Foreman Liu naturally wouldn't take the blame, saying it was Wang Xiaohua who ordered the renovation, if there were any problems they could ask him when he arrived.
So this scene happened: Wang Xiaohua had just entered, and Li Bofu started cursing and questioning him.
Wang Xiaohua said coldly:
"This house is mine; I'll renovate it however I want."
Li Bofu huffed angrily:
"Hurry up and tear it down for me! A living person's house, how can it be renovated like this! Simply outrageous!"
Wang Xiaohua said lightly:
"Tearing it down is impossible; this renovation cost me quite a lot of money."
Wang Zhaodi said:
"You brat won't tear it down, huh? One day I'll find someone to tear it down; I don't believe you can guard this place your whole life!"
Wang Xiaohua, unafraid, laughed instead:
"Fine! If you're not afraid of Jianjia and her dad coming to your door in the middle of the night, come tear it down! Also don't blame me for not warning you: if you dare barge in and tear down my renovated house, I'll turn around and call the police to send you to prison, so before you act, please weigh the consequences carefully!"
"You..." Li Bofu was furious to the point of death, yet unable to refute.
Li Shunming's expression was also extremely ugly.
He was still hoping to seize this apartment and then use it as a marriage home.
If he had this apartment, going on blind dates would also be comparatively easier to succeed.
After all, Central Garden — this is the residential complex in the best location in the County Town!
Having an apartment here, that is absolutely, positively face-giving!
"This apartment fundamentally does not belong to you, this little bastard; you are too shameless, seizing our Li Family's property!"
Wang Zhaodi turned the tables with a counter-accusation.
She thought Xiao Hua would go along with her words, then fall into the verbal trap she had set, so she could stand on the moral high ground and condemn Xiao Hua.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua did not refute her at all, and even echoed her:
"Right, this apartment doesn't belong to me, but it doesn't belong to you so-called relatives who aren't related by eight pole-lengths either; this apartment belongs to Jianjia and her father, so the two of them, father and daughter, will keep living here — no one thinks about seizing it!"
Xiao Hua also retorted with a sentence:
"Could it be that you won't even spare the deceased's residence, and want to leave their souls homeless?"
Once these words came out, Xiao Hua instead completely stood on the moral high ground.
Rendering Li Shunming, Li Bofu, Wang Zhaodi and the others directly speechless, completely unable to refute.
In the end, this freakish family of three could only leave in dejection.
Xiao Hua was afraid they would come back to cause trouble, so when they left, he still loudly said a sentence:
"This apartment has several surveillance cameras installed; whoever wants to go to prison can try breaking in later!"
Li Shunming left the residential complex, very depressed.
He asked Li Bofu:
"Dad, you say what can be done about this?"
Li Bofu with a black face:
"How would I know what to do? Just take it lying down!"
Li Shunming was stunned, very unconvinced:
"Could it be we just give up such a good apartment like this?"
Li Bofu said angrily:
"It's all been renovated into a Yin Residence, good my ass; the feng shui is ruined, move in and everything will go wrong for sure!"
Li Shunming had no words to say, because he knew his dad's words had a few parts of reason.
What living people taboo most is living in a Yin Residence.
That apartment, very obviously, is impossible to benefit anyone anymore.
Wang Zhaodi, however, said:
"If we don't live in it, isn't that fine? Get the apartment in hand, rent it out, then collect rent every month — that's also a not-small sum of money!"
Li Bofu, however, hehe coldly laughed:
"How to get it in hand? Not to mention whether Xiao Hua that little bastard would report to the police if we privately tear out the renovation inside, just this demolition and re-renovation — doesn't it cost money?"
Wang Zhaodi also had no words to say.
Right, such a big apartment, demolition and hauling away construction waste — estimated to cost not a little money!
Re-renovating also costs a huge sum!
Such a big project, at least over a hundred thousand to complete, right!
Where would they have this kind of money?
Looks like this apartment is unaffordable, so can only drop it at that.
