Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

At noon during the meal, Du Xiaojuan had Kang Yi help hold the child, and then ate together with Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaohua.

This was a rare time for her to be able to eat at the same table with Wang Dashan.

Ever since they agreed to separate and take turns caring for the child, the two of them rarely even ate together.

Separating and taking turns caring for the child did indeed avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts, but it had its pros and cons; the downside was that the time they could sit together and communicate became less.

A husband and wife eating together is actually the same nature as sleeping together; both are important occasions for communication, lubricants for handling the emotional relationship.

"Wang Dashan, I know you don't believe what I say."

During the meal, Du Xiaojuan suddenly spoke up.

Her expression was heavy, as if she had made up her mind about something, determined to take advantage of Wang Xiaohua's presence to say certain things.

Wang Dashan was stunned.

Wang Xiaohua was stunned.

Wang Dashan's stunned reaction, his first thought was that Du Xiaojuan was going to make things difficult for him in front of Third Brother again.

Wang Xiaohua's stunned reaction was a secret sigh in his heart; he actually didn't agree with Eldest Sister-in-law's way of handling things.

Too rigid and it breaks easily.

Gentleness is a woman's most powerful weapon!

However, Du Xiaojuan insisted on doing this; not doing it wouldn't be her personality.

She continued:

"Right now your Third Brother is here; he's a Tsinghua University student, his cultural knowledge and cognitive level are both much higher than ours. Let's lay it all out in front of him and let him judge — who's wrong, me or you."

Du Xiaojuan had already spoken to this extent; Wang Dashan naturally couldn't cover Du Xiaojuan's mouth anymore.

His face turned ugly.

Because he knew very well in his heart that if they really laid it all out and let a third party judge, even the impartial Bao Qingtian would definitely rule that his side had a problem.

So he stayed silent, wanting to change the subject:

"Just eat your meal properly, why bring this up!"

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"If we don't say it now, we're afraid there won't be time to say it later! It's not some private matter!"

Du Xiaojuan then said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Xiao Hua, your Big Brother right now is using leverage to speculate on property; not only did he buy a large number of houses in second- and third-tier cities around Guangzhou, he also partnered with others to speculate on urban renewal properties. To put it nicely it's speculating on urban renewal; to put it bluntly, isn't it just buying up those dilapidated urban village houses with little commercial value? You tell me, is his behavior laughable or not?"

Before Wang Xiaohua could respond, Wang Dashan defended himself:

"Those urban renewal properties have inside information; it won't be long before they're demolished, and once demolished we'll make a huge profit!"

Du Xiaojuan countered:

"If they really have inside information, why wouldn't they do it themselves? Why insist on bringing you in? Use your brain and think: if a cake is placed in front of you, would you voluntarily share a slice with an outsider?"

Wang Dashan couldn't answer, because if a cake were placed in front of him, he indeed wouldn't voluntarily share it with someone else.

But he still argued:

"They pulled me in because their funds weren't enough."

He didn't use a question, but a declarative sentence.

It was obviously a lie; his tone wasn't very confident when he said it.

Du Xiaojuan naturally saw through his lie at once, and said coldly:

"How much is the Hu Wanjia family worth? Would they lack your 5 million? They're just luring you into the trap! As for that Zhang Fei you mentioned, I looked into his background — he's even less short of money! Use your brain and think! Don't be as naive as a primary school pupil; they say 2 plus 3 equals 6, and you just follow along shouting 666!"

Du Xiaojuan's words stabbed Wang Dashan's nerves sharply.

It reminded him of when he first started primary school; the teacher asked him what 2 plus 3 equaled, he said 4, the teacher told him the answer was 5, then asked him to say it again, and he still insisted on saying 4!

Du Xiaojuan's mocking words now unconsciously linked him to that incident, and made him realize his stubbornness was outrageously wrong, but the more outrageous the mistake, the less he could admit it — otherwise where would he put his face?

Besides, the 5 million was already spent, and the agreement was signed.

Worrying about right or wrong at this point, there was no objection anymore.

So he suddenly flew into a rage out of humiliation, and slammed the table.

Bang!

The bowls, chopsticks, and plates on the table all jerked violently.

Wang Xiaohua and Du Xiaojuan were also startled.

"When will it end! Can't we just eat properly!"

Wang Dashan's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The atmosphere froze.

"Big Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, say a few words less, say a few words less."

Wang Xiaohua reacted and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Du Xiaojuan came back to her senses, also huffing angrily:

"Wang Dashan, rebelling are we! So what if I say a couple of things to you? Did I say anything wrong!"

Du Xiaojuan is just like this — she meets strength with strength, weakness with weakness.

Faced with Wang Dashan's attitude, she only returns tooth for tooth, eye for eye.

If Wang Dashan had properly apologized, she would have spoken properly too.

Unfortunately Wang Dashan wouldn't properly apologize, and she wouldn't speak properly either.

"Xiao Hua, you come judge this — is what I said wrong? We do business, at least we should have risk awareness! Your eldest brother actually has no risk awareness at all, it'd be strange if he didn't get cheated to death!"

Wang Xiaohua's scalp went numb.

He completely hadn't expected that his eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law had already reached the point of swords drawn and bows bent to this degree.

One can only say some conflicts, if they can't be resolved in time, keep piling up, will only accumulate more and more, and when they explode, it might be impossible to salvage.

But fortunately, exposing this conflict now is better than exposing it later.

Right now the child still hasn't been weaned, eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law's bonds are still very deep.

If arguing can solve the problem, it's actually not a bad outcome.

"Eldest brother, you go out first, I'll say a couple sentences to eldest sister-in-law alone."

Wang Xiaohua spoke this sentence at this moment.

He didn't go judge who was right or wrong in this matter, because just as Wang Dashan said, the money was already spent, pursuing who was right or wrong no longer had any meaning.

Wang Dashan wasn't willing to leave the table, he was eating his meal, he wanted to hear what his third brother would say to Du Xiaojuan.

Wang Xiaohua urged again:

"Eldest brother, just go out and smoke a cigarette, I know you're very depressed right now, really want to smoke."

Wang Dashan heard this, indeed it was the case.

Right now he didn't just want to smoke one cigarette, he wanted to fiercely smoke several cigarettes.

So he turned around and went outside to smoke.

After Wang Dashan left, Wang Xiaohua then said to Du Xiaojuan:

"Eldest sister-in-law, first a declaration, I'm not siding with my eldest brother, my eldest brother indeed was wrong, and wrong outrageously."

Wang Xiaohua directly stated his attitude, fortunately during the communication process, Du Xiaojuan wasn't that resistant to him.

This kind of communication skill, speaking of it is very simple.

But in actual life, how many people can actually achieve it?

Easy to know, hard to do, not only in big things, small things are also like this.

See, hearing Wang Xiaohua say it like this, the anger on her body also dissipated by more than half.

She actually also needed others to acknowledge her.
