Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
"The specifics of what's going on, it's hard for me to explain clearly to you in a few words. If you believe me, just do as I say."
Wu Banxian shook his head and swayed, wearing an expression of profound mystery.
"Whatever Wu Banxian says, we definitely believe you!"
Wang Zhanggen replied like this.
He and Li Xiulan indeed believed Wu Banxian.
To put it bluntly, they believed Wu Banxian even more than they believed their own parents and children!
Even so-called authoritative experts, in their eyes, compared to Wu Banxian, weren't worth mentioning at all!
Right now, the doctor said Wang Zhanggen had no hope, but Wang Zhanggen didn't believe it at all, because Wu Banxian said he could live until his eldest grandson started primary school!
And his body really was much better than before right now.
Wu Banxian held out three fingers at this moment:
"You need to do three things."
Wu Banxian looked dead serious.
"Which three things?"
Li Xiulan hurriedly asked.
Wu Banxian then said:
"First, hold a funeral for your dead daughter-in-law."
Wang Zhanggen then said:
"We're preparing to do just that, we'll handle it the day after tomorrow!"
Wu Banxian continued:
"Second, don't speak any ill of your daughter-in-law!"
"No problem, the person's dead, what else is there to say? The dead are the greatest!" Wang Zhanggen said like this.
But Wu Banxian explained:
"What I mean isn't just your dead youngest daughter-in-law, it also includes your other two daughters-in-law, and any new daughter-in-law your youngest son finds in the future! None of them are allowed to be spoken ill of! Trouble comes from the mouth! Move your mouth, the feng shui leaks, the mingming changes, understand?"
Wang Zhanggen then said:
"Seems like we didn't really say much about them, right?"
Li Xiulan complained about him:
"You have the nerve to say you didn't? You used to say plenty of bad things about Xiao Juan!"
Wang Zhanggen argued back:
"That was before, haven't I not said much since?"
"Still saying you didn't say much? When Xiao Juan had just given birth, how much bad stuff did you say about her! This isn't satisfactory, that isn't satisfactory! Who knows, Jianjia's matter might be related to this!"
Li Xiulan spoke these words firmly and convincingly.
Actually forcibly linking two completely unrelated matters together.
Although this looks absurd, it also makes a certain kind of sense.
Certain people in rural areas are best at stringing together completely unrelated matters.
For example, not giving birth to a son is because some tree in front of the courtyard gate has a problem, so they go chop the tree down.
For example, accidentally breaking a leg isn't because the ground is uneven, but because the ancestral grave's feng shui is wrong, so they go dig up the ancestral grave!
Another example, failing to get a wife isn't because the family is poor, nor because the son lacks ability, but because the neighbor's wall is in the way, so they go knock down the neighbor's wall.
Things like this, everywhere you look.
Li Xiulan saying these things now is also this kind of forcibly associative superstitious thinking at work.
Most importantly, Wang Zhanggen doesn't think there's anything wrong with it either!
On the contrary, he feels what Li Xiulan said is very reasonable!
After all, back when Du Xiaojuan was doing postpartum confinement, he really did have a lot of dissatisfaction toward Du Xiaojuan, feeling this woman was being delicate, wasting money, it's just giving birth to a son, pretty much like a hen laying an egg, why did it need several tens of thousands of yuan for confinement?
"Then I'll just shut my mouth from now on, won't say anything, that should be fine, right!"
Wang Zhanggen replied irritably with this sentence.
This was a rare moment in his life where he admitted fault.
Wu Banxian said:
"What's done is done, can't be changed, don't dwell on it, just pay attention from now on. You two really should say less. Your Wang Family's feng shui acupoint is right on you two. If you leak the feng shui, there'll probably be more bad things happening later!"
As soon as Wu Banxian said this, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan were nervous as could be!
"Then we won't say anything, nothing at all! Not a single word!"
Li Xiulan was serious and solemn as she said this, and engraved Wu Banxian's words in her heart, just like a primary school pupil memorizing the homeroom teacher's instructions.
Wu Banxian suddenly remembered something at this point, then added another sentence:
"Right, you don't need to rush your youngest son. Rushing is also a form of speaking. Marriage fate is a matter of things falling into place naturally; when the time comes it'll naturally happen. Understand what I mean?"
Li Xiulan nodded like a chicken pecking rice:
"Understand, understand!"
Wang Zhanggen, however, underestimated:
"Can it really work without rushing it?"
Wu Banxian immediately darkened his face:
"If you don't trust me, then go back and try it yourself! When something goes wrong, don't come blaming me!"
Seeing Wu Banxian's serious and solemn expression, Wang Zhanggen finally dared not have any more doubts:
"Alright, alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Wu Banxian, is that not okay?"
Wu Banxian said further:
"Not only can you not rush it, you also cannot blindly play matchmaker. In short, one sentence: let nature take its course, be patient. Short then a year or half a year, long then three to five years, your Youngest Brother will definitely step into the marriage hall again, and at that time give you two big fat grandsons in three years!"
Wu Banxian truly lives up to being Wu Banxian.
If you say he's a pure scammer, he actually still has some skill!
At least he now knows clearly in his heart that the Youngest Brother of this old couple before him very much dislikes others helping him messily arrange marriages, and even if his own birth father and birth mother make the introduction, he will not lightly accept.
This matter before, there was once a blind mess-up of marriage fate, nearly causing trouble.
Additionally, judging by his experience as one who has been through it, Wang Xiaohua will definitely remarry, because this person sees things too clearly, and his conduct in life is done very well. Although he has a disadvantage in height, he absolutely will not worry about finding a partner.
In finding a partner, actually inferiority complex, introversion, poor communication — these attributes, compared to height and appearance, are a greater stumbling block.
Good at communication, possessing an extraordinary aura, plus outstanding ability, this shortcoming of height has never been a problem.
Cannot deny there are many women in this world who care a lot about height, but there is also another portion of women who will not completely deny a man just because of a height defect.
And Wang Xiaohua has long since overcome the so-called inferiority complex, introversion, and poor communication. The current him possesses an aura far surpassing his peers.
In Tsinghua, he indeed did not achieve any achievements.
One could say in Tsinghua Campus he was lost among the crowd.
But placed in a Small Place, he is still a very dazzling existence.
Not just anyone can easily erase the radiance on him.
When night fell, Wang Zhanggen rode a Motorcycle, carrying Li Xiulan, walking on the Township Highway.
"Remembered it? Cannot speak, cannot rush, cannot messily arrange matches!"
Li Xiulan behind him reminded Wang Zhanggen.
He just feared Wang Zhanggen would be forgetful, forget this matter, commit a great taboo, that would not be good.
"Remembered it, remembered it! Do you need to say it? I'm not a gossipy person!"
Wang Zhanggen was somewhat depressed; he felt he fundamentally didn't need Li Xiulan to remind him.
Li Xiulan reminding him like this made it seem like he was senile.
So he changed the subject, turning around to remind Li Xiulan:
"Tomorrow Wu Banxian will come help us find a Feng Shui Treasure Land, you get up early and kill two Chickens, to properly entertain Wu Banxian then!"
Li Xiulan then said:
"Tomorrow at first light, I'll get up and kill chickens!"
