Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Alright alright alright, I'm calling right now!"

Wang Zhanggen was huffing with anger; he put on his old flower glasses, took out his mobile phone, and went to look through the contact list.

Wang Xiaohua, however, slightly frowned, and hurriedly said to Wang Dashan:

"Big Brother, why are you having him make this call? What if Liang Xinghua, in order to retaliate against us, deliberately lies and admits he did it? Then Dad would be angered half to death by him!"

Wang Dashan was stunned for a moment, a trace of bewilderment appearing on his face:

"Impossible, right? This isn't some good thing; if he didn't do it, why would he admit it? Even if he did do it, he wouldn't dare admit it, would he? After all, making a false accusation carries responsibility!"

Wang Dashan spoke in a logical, point-by-point manner; at first listen it sounded very reasonable.

But it only scratched the surface, unlike Wang Xiaohua, who saw through all the various possibilities of the matter so thoroughly.

"Better safe than sorry!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly stopped Wang Zhanggen:

"Don't make the call; we'll go ask Wu Banxian tomorrow. Didn't you say Wu Banxian's divinations are very accurate?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, wore a long face and said:

"Tomorrow I'll go find Wu Banxian, but tonight I absolutely must call Liang Xinghua! I want to know the answer right now!"

That's just how he is; when his temper flares up, he can't wait even a moment!

He felt Liang Xinghua would most likely deny it, but Liang Xinghua's denial would be useless, because tomorrow he would still go find Wu Banxian to cast a divination; as long as Wu Banxian said it was him, Liang Xinghua, then he couldn't escape!

Wang Zhanggen managed with difficulty to find Liang Xinghua's phone number in his mobile contact list, then dialed it!

He turned on speakerphone; the phone's external playback volume was very loud, playing the music of "Moon Above".

The air suddenly fell quiet.

A whole family of people, all waiting for the result that would appear next.

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but worry secretly; Wang Erhai's face was full of depression, feeling very heartsick communicating with this birth father; Wang Dashan, on the other hand, really wanted to know what Liang Xinghua would say after picking up the phone.

Li Xiulan sighed, her face clouded with worry.

The phone rang for a good while, but Liang Xinghua didn't answer; in the end it automatically disconnected.

Wang Xiaohua quietly let out a breath of relief, and persuaded in a gentle, patient tone:

"Dad, you go ask Wu Banxian with Mom tomorrow; it's the middle of the night, they simply won't pick up your call!"

Wang Erhai also persuaded:

"Exactly, don't think so much; tomorrow we go ask Wu Banxian, won't the truth come to light?"

Li Xiulan also hurriedly said:

"Right, go ask tomorrow; why get yourself worked up? What if you wrongly blame someone?"

Wang Dashan at this time also changed his tune and said:

"Right right, go ask Wu Banxian tomorrow; didn't you say Wu Banxian's divinations are very accurate?"

Wang Zhanggen, seeing the call didn't connect, still wouldn't give up:

"I'll call once more, see if he picks up!"

Then he pressed the dial button again.

The whole family's hearts rose in suspense again.

No one spoke anymore.

Only the sound of the phone's ringtone echoed in the air.

"You gaze up at the moon above, how many dreams fly freely..."

In the end it still wasn't answered; it automatically disconnected again.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly persuaded again:

"Dad, just rest; it's not like we can't wait that short while."

Wang Erhai, for his part, said:

"Tomorrow early morning, I'll drive you and Mom to find Wu Banxian! While we're at it, we can ask about Third Brother's marriage fate, how about that?"

After Liang Xinghua didn't answer the phone twice, Wang Zhanggen, under the family's gentle coaxing, had his anger dissipate considerably.

Finally he said:

"Alright alright, then tomorrow early morning we'll go find Wu Banxian!"

Once these words left his mouth, Wang Xiaohua's suspended heart finally settled down.

Although the possibility of Liang Xinghua voluntarily admitting it was small, it was still that saying: better safe than sorry!

Only by not letting Wang Zhanggen personally go ask Liang Xinghua could all risks be avoided!

However, at this moment, the thing Wang Xiaohua didn't expect still happened!

Just then, Wang Zhanggen's mobile phone screen suddenly lit up, emitting music!

Someone was calling in!

It was shockingly Liang Xinghua calling back!

Wang Zhanggen took one look and hurriedly said:

"That kid Liang Xinghua called back; I'll ask him right now what he has to say!"

Finished speaking, he hurriedly answered the call!

Wang Xiaohua's heart, which had just settled, now rose back into his throat!

In this situation, he could only pray that the tiniest possibility would not come to pass!

However, according to the strange "Murphy's Law," in this world, the more you don't want something to happen, the more it will happen!

"Hey, Wang Changgen, why did you call me!"

Liang Xinghua's voice came from the other end of the phone; the moment he opened his mouth, he called Wang Changgen directly by name.

The two families had already torn faces; Liang Xinghua naturally would no longer politely call him Brother Changgen.

"Liang Xinghua, I'll ask you one thing: was it you who reported the daytime matter!"

Wang Changgen also did not stand on ceremony with Liang Xinghua, directly issuing a questioning.

Liang Xinghua froze for a moment, then immediately laughed and said:

"So what if I reported it?"

He didn't even have a roof over his head in Shanggou Village anymore; the Wang family had pushed down his raw house, so he no longer had any possibility of returning to Shanggou Village.

Since he couldn't go back anyway, what was there to be afraid of!

Even if he admitted it, the Wang family couldn't do anything to him!

On the contrary, it would let him gain an even greater sense of satisfaction!

He made the report call to retaliate, wasn't it precisely to obtain this kind of satisfaction!

"It really was you who reported it?!"

Wang Changgen's eyes widened, his voice doubled in volume, sternly questioning.

"It was me who reported it! Wang Changgen, I'm not afraid to tell you the honest truth: your Wang family bullied my family so miserably, it's about time you suffered retribution. Look, your youngest son's wife died so young — that is Heaven's punishment on your Wang family! Want an earth burial? No way! I made the report call; what can you do to me? Come bite me, Wang Changgen! Ah hahaha!"

From the phone came Liang Xinghua's arrogant and twisted loud laughter.

Wang Xiaohua's heart gave a thump; he knew things were going to go bad!

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan were utterly shocked.

They completely hadn't expected that this matter was actually done by Liang Xinghua!

And Liang Xinghua had even personally admitted it!

"No, you didn't come back, how do you know about my Third Brother's wife's funeral? You're definitely making it up!" Wang Erhai hurriedly shouted.

Because Wang Changgen had turned on the speaker function, Liang Xinghua's side could hear Wang Erhai's voice.

Liang Xinghua then said:

"Wang Erhai, I'm not making it up; it was me who reported it! I happened to go back today to handle some business, ran into Aunt Guilan; she told me you were holding a funeral today. I saw you carrying the coffin up the mountain, knew you were doing an earth burial, so I immediately made a report call! Just ask you, are you angry or not!"

Wang Erhai didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he found Liang Xinghua pitiable, ridiculous, and sad.

However, Wang Changgen was angered to the point of exploding:

"Liang Xinghua, you beast, if you have guts, come back for me!"

Liang Xinghua, however, said:

"Wang Changgen, even if I come back, you're a man about to die; what can you do to me? You wait; your Wang family will continue to have deaths, and the next one will be you, this old thing!"

Wang Changgen was so angry his whole body trembled, his face alternating between black and purple:

"Liang Xinghua, my Wang family helped you so much, yet you treat us like this; do you still have humanity!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Changgen was angered until, "Pu," he spat out a large mouthful of blood!

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan, seeing this, were both greatly alarmed and changed color, hurriedly going over to support him:

"Dad! Are you alright!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly snatched the phone and hung up the call.

He couldn't keep talking with Liang Xinghua; if they continued, Wang Changgen might even be angered to death on the spot!

But snatching the phone at this time was already too late.

After Wang Changgen vomited blood, he fainted.

Li Xiulan was at a loss:

"What do we do now!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said: "Call 120 for an ambulance!"

Wang Erhai, also at a loss, took out his phone and dialed 120.

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"For 120 to come, pick up the person, and send them to the hospital — how much time would that waste! Second Brother, you go drive your car to the door, use your car to directly send Dad to the County Town hospital, be fast!"

Wang Erhai only then came back to his senses; right, he had a car, why would he need an ambulance to shuttle?

It was very obvious he had panicked just now, which was why he hadn't thought of this point.

So he hurriedly nodded:

"Okay okay!"

Wang Xiaohua then said to Wang Dashan:

"Big Brother, the two of us will carry the person out!"

Wang Dashan also hurriedly nodded:

"Okay okay!"
