Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Upon hearing Wang Dashan say this, Du Xiaojuan was immediately stunned.

Her face full of astonishment, she was so angry she laughed:

"No, Wang Dashan, how can you think like this? What kind of person do you take me for?"

Wang Dashan, however, was expressionless:

"If you have opinions about my family, you can say it directly."

Du Xiaojuan was nearly angered to death by Wang Dashan.

This man truly has a bubble in his brain; his sensitive self-esteem always acts up from time to time. This is perhaps what they call generational inheritance — simply cast from the same mold as that old thing Wang Zhanggen.

However, after Du Xiaojuan took a deep breath, she still chose restraint.

She didn't want to fall out with Wang Dashan over a moment's satisfaction; after all, Wang Dashan is her husband, and the days they'll spend together in the future are still very long.

Additionally, she had another important reason for not blowing up: these days, since Wang Dashan took turns watching the child, her sleep quality improved somewhat, she was no longer so anxious, and her emotions were comparatively more controllable.

"Wang Dashan, the reason I didn't go greet your family is because I didn't want to create conflict with your unreasonable biological father. If I conflict with him, you'll be sandwiched in the middle — neither inside nor outside a person — will you be comfortable then? I'm doing this for your sake; this is choosing the optimal solution to avoid unnecessary family conflict. It's the same principle as doing business: maximize benefits, minimize losses. Understand?"

Du Xiaojuan looked at Wang Dashan, doing her utmost to restrain her emotions, and spoke this whole passage.

After listening, Wang Dashan also felt there was some reason to it.

But Du Xiaojuan's overbearing attitude that stood above everything still made him feel deep aversion; it made it seem as if she, Du Xiaojuan, was right in everything, while he, Wang Dashan, was wrong no matter what he did.

So he said:

"I'll go receive my family. In the future, don't use this kind of attitude to speak to me, especially in front of my family. You have to give me some face, understand?"

After saying this, Wang Dashan hung up the phone, not giving Du Xiaojuan a chance to speak further.

Living these days, Wang Dashan felt, was truly becoming more and more uncomfortable.

He admitted Du Xiaojuan's abilities were stronger than his, but as a man of flesh and blood, he needed face, he needed dignity.

Du Xiaojuan was always pursuing the so-called optimal solution, as if he were a commodity in her hand.

"Will there come a day when I'm no longer the optimal solution as your husband, and you'll discard me without hesitation?"

This thought floated up in Wang Dashan's heart.

And in his view, the answer to this question was obvious.

If that day truly came, Du Xiaojuan would likely discard him without hesitation.

After all, Du Xiaojuan hadn't discarded him before!

He still remembered the first time he brought Du Xiaojuan home for the Spring Festival; the year wasn't even over yet, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Du Xiaojuan ran away from his home, not caring about his feelings in the slightest, and then sent a WeChat message saying let's break up.

This woman has always had a heart like cold iron, selfish and self-serving, only considering herself, never considering others — including the man she loves, she rarely ever puts herself in his shoes to think for him.

The more Wang Dashan thought, the angrier he got; he even thought, why not just divorce? Anyway, he now has over ten million yuan in assets under his name; why should he suffer this kind of useless anger?

But then he looked at the baby bottle in his hand, and then at his son Wang Dujin lying in the baby crib smiling at him, and that fit-of-pique thought instantly vanished like smoke.

For the child, he absolutely couldn't make a fuss about divorce over such a small conflict.

Du Xiaojuan is petty; he, Wang Dashan, as a man, can't be that petty.

He had to think of the overall situation.

Just as he was feeding the baby milk, Du Xiaojuan came over at this time.

The moment Du Xiaojuan entered, she was expressionless.

On the road rushing over here, her heart had also thought a lot.

She has always been improving; Wang Dashan, however, has always been treading water in place.

Already at such an age, everything is still hindered by emotions.

Instead, he appears like a little woman, while Du Xiaojuan is more like a big man supporting the entire family.

This has led to the two having fewer and fewer common topics.

Du Xiaojuan tried her utmost to tell herself inside: don't treat Wang Dashan however just because of this reason.

But putting it into practice is very difficult.

In daily interaction, she would always intentionally or unintentionally, with the posture of a superior, look down from above and criticize Wang Dashan, tangibly and intangibly.

Even this unequal mode of communication, sometimes even she herself couldn't detect it.

This is perhaps the generation gap brought about by the excessive gap between the two.

Just like now, Du Xiaojuan opened her mouth and said:

"I'll feed the baby. You can go back to the villa side now. When you go back, remember to prepare some food ingredients; dinner will be at home receiving your family."

It's not that these words had anything wrong; it's just her tone carried a feeling of driving a servant.

Wang Dashan was naturally unhappy inside, but he endured without saying anything:

"Mm, okay."

He handed the child to Du Xiaojuan, then stood up and left.

He felt he already didn't know how to communicate with Du Xiaojuan.

So he followed his subconscious and chose to act as a mute can.

This is the bad root nature inherited from Wang Zhanggen.

Before, when Wang Zhanggen had any matter, he also tended to keep it bottled up inside, not knowing how to communicate.

To the point that between him and Li Xiulan, many unnecessary misunderstandings arose, and they even quarreled due to lack of communication, even coming to blows.

Many people in this society tell us we must master the skill of external communication, that understanding social interaction brings us one step closer to success.

But few people tell us that internal communication is also a skill one must master in life; it can even determine your life, whether your family is happy or not.

Internal communication, especially communication with family members, is truly very important.

It is a pity that many people never master this skill in their lifetime, so that whether facing parents or facing wife and children, they bring endless internal consumption, making the family atmosphere extremely stiff, even extremely terrible.

Wang Dashan does not understand this skill.

Du Xiaojuan actually does not understand it either.

Among so many people in the two families, if one were to say who truly understands internal communication, I'm afraid only Wang Xiaohua alone.

Du Xiaojuan's external communication is top-notch; no matter how difficult the business, she can close it, but when handling family problems, she actually differs little from many refined and selfish women.

A very simple principle.

If she understood internal communication, she would not have fallen out so badly with her original family.

She has been blaming her original family for this being bad and that being bad, but those are all facts that cannot be changed; what use is blaming?

She hasn't even understood one principle yet: that in marriage, the greatest taboo is bringing the harm you suffered in your original family into the newly formed family, imagining you will encounter the same situation in the newly formed family as well.

Du Xiaojuan has always had this imagination, and has always been striving hard to avoid the possibility of it occurring.

So when naming her unborn child, she insisted on choosing a gender-neutral name usable for both male and female.

So during her confinement she directly refused to let Li Xiulan come help take care of her, directly strangling all possible mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts in a state before they could even sprout.

But she didn't consider that spending money can indeed hire a confinement nanny, yet she also missed an opportunity to deepen feelings with this mother-in-law Li Xiulan.

Additionally she didn't consider that there are not few mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts in this world, but not all mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have conflicts.

Resulting in the more she deliberately strives for this, the more it causes the new home she and Wang Dashan established to fall into an extremely stiff state.
