Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The next day, Wang Zhanggen, wearing his old flower glasses, spent the whole morning flipping through the almanac and finally picked a good day for the funeral.

"Three days from now is a good day! Look at it — it says suitable for breaking ground, funerals, and travel, all three are there! Dig the grave pit, hold the funeral procession ceremony, and then see them off!"

Wang Zhanggen muttered, making the decision as the head of the household.

"We don't even know where to bury her yet; at least we need to pick a spot first, right?" Li Xiulan said from the side.

Wang Zhanggen only then suddenly realized, slapping his forehead:

"You're right, look at my brain, truly old and confused! This afternoon we'll go find Wu Banxian, have Wu Banxian come over tomorrow to help pick a feng shui treasure land, and additionally have him help calculate Xiao Hua's future marriage fate!"

Li Xiulan hurriedly nodded:

"Okay, okay, I happened to have that intention too!"

The funeral matter she actually didn't care much about; if not for Wang Zhanggen insisting on handling it, she felt not doing it would also be fine.

But her son Wang Xiaohua's future marriage fate, that she cared about very much.

After all, he'd been married, lost a wife; wanting to marry again later, I'm afraid there's some difficulty, fearing he'll carry the reputation of being a wife-jinx, then even for a blind date, others wouldn't be willing to introduce!

Additionally, their own youngest son, in height and looks, truly has no advantages; wanting to find another like Li Jianjia, whether in looks and temperament or education and knowledge, both extremely excellent, I'm afraid would be very difficult.

But as parents, they also couldn't aim too high; as long as the son can start a family it's fine, find one not tall, ordinary looks, that's also okay, as long as she can bear children.

As for education, in the view of the two elders, it's even more an optional judging standard.

In short, one sentence: the future daughter-in-law, whether she can give birth, ranks first.

So that afternoon, Wang Zhanggen rode a motorcycle, carrying Li Xiulan, heading to the neighboring town to find Wu Banxian.

Before leaving he also instructed Wang Erhai to give Wang Xiaohua a call, have Wang Xiaohua ask for leave at school, and come back in three days to attend his wife's funeral.

Wang Erhai felt this matter was truly too absurd, simply unreasonable, completely not respecting his Third Brother's personal wishes, but things having come to this, he still should tell his Third Brother; as for whether Third Brother is willing to come back, that's not important, at least give him a right to know.

Wang Erhai guessed his Third Brother most likely wouldn't be willing to come back.

After all, coming back from Beijing to Shanggou Village hometown once, not to mention the travel expenses costing quite a bit, it's also exhausting.

Additionally he also worried Wang Xiaohua would be dissatisfied with his parents' acting on their own initiative.

So he made the call, explained the situation to Wang Xiaohua, then hurriedly comforted him:

"Third Brother, if they want to make a fuss let them make a fuss, you just ignore it; later you have me go to your wife's family side, bring back a few pieces of your wife's clothes, let them casually make a cenotaph and be done! You also know, the older generation, stubborn as hell! No need to nitpick with them!"

However, what Wang Erhai didn't expect was, Wang Xiaohua learning this news, didn't get angry because of it.

His reaction was very calm, even saying:

"Okay, then I'll ask for leave, go back tomorrow, attend the funeral the day after, and return to school the day after that."

Wang Erhai hearing this, couldn't help but be stunned.

Face full of surprise.

Because he knows what personality his Third Brother has.

This choice, very obviously doesn't match Third Brother's previous conduct style.

"Third Brother, if you don't want to come back, don't force yourself; Mom and Dad's side, I'll help you handle it, you just turn off your phone."

But Wang Xiaohua said:

"Going back to handle the ceremony is also good, just the ashes, I won't bring them to Shanggou Village side for burial; at that time just make a cenotaph, you help me tell Mom and Dad, this matter will trouble them to handle."

Wang Erhai didn't know what to say.

He felt his Third Brother had changed.

Changed to no longer being sharp and prickly like before.

Giving a feeling of gradually returning to mediocrity.

This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong.

Just sometimes one compromised.

Perhaps everyone would be happy.

But it also means losing a share of sharpness on oneself.

Losing sharpness, naturally one gradually becomes mediocre.

And at this time, the other side.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, riding a motorcycle, arrived at Wu Banxian's house.

Wu Banxian seeing these two old regular customers come again, naturally welcomed them extremely.

Upon asking, he learned their youngest son's wife had passed away, and had been gone for a good while, and they only found out now.

Now they want him to go to the mountain in Shanggou Village tomorrow, help find a feng shui treasure land, and the day after hold a supplementary funeral for this daughter-in-law, make a cenotaph and such.

Wu Banxian naturally happily agreed; after all, business coming to the door, there's no reason not to do it.

After settling the matter of finding the feng shui treasure land, at this time Li Xiulan asked Wu Banxian again:

"Wu Banxian, can you help calculate a divination, calculate how my youngest son's marriage fate is?"

Wu Banxian hurriedly said:

"This is of course no problem, I'll calculate it for you right now!"

Immediately he put on a show of pinching his fingers.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan watching from the side, both felt extremely nervous inside.

Just afraid their youngest son has a widower's fate.

Wu Banxian calculated for a good while, his brows furrowing slightly, then suddenly sighed, then suddenly inhaled, putting on a mysterious act, causing Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan's hearts to be tugged up and down, his technique could be said to be extremely practiced.

"Wu Banxian, how is it?"

Li Xiulan hurriedly asked.

Wu Banxian then said:

"Your youngest son is exceptionally intelligent, only pity, too much is as bad as too little, he has a wife-destroying fate."

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan, upon hearing these words, both immediately felt Wu Banxian spoke very correctly.

See, such a good girl as Li Jianjia was destroyed by him.

"Half-Immortal, then does my youngest son still have a chance to remarry?"

Li Xiulan pinched her heartstrings tight, busy following up to ask.

"This you can absolutely set your mind at ease, he is so outstanding, certainly can remarry, only, if the wife-destroying fate is not processed away, remarrying will also destroy the wife."

Wu Banxian's old body was at ease, putting on a mysterious act.

Right now before his eyes were only Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan, two uneducated old people, their three sons had not come over, Wu Banxian naturally could let loose his hands and feet to freely perform, well displaying his ability in feng shui fortune-telling.

"Then what to do?"

Wang Changgen at this time opened his mouth, even taking the initiative to say:

"As long as that brat's fate can be changed, no matter how much money it takes, it's fine!"

Wu Banxian opened his mouth, subconsciously about to quote a high price.

However suddenly thinking of it, the three sons of this old couple before him were none easy to deal with, especially that youngest son of theirs, even more like a little steel ball, if he bit down in one go, he would absolutely knock out old teeth.

Then earn a bit less, fine water long flow, you good me good everyone good!

Thus Wu Banxian then said:

"Money is not a problem, just give me eight hundred or one thousand casually, the problem lies on you two!"

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan both couldn't help but stare blankly, faces showing puzzlement:

"On us two? What's going on?"
