Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"No, I have to call Zhang Fei and ask him what's really going on!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly fished out his phone, panic-stricken.

But Du Xiaojuan stopped him:

"What use is calling Zhang Fei? You ask him and he'll naturally have excuses to fool you! Is finding excuses hard? He'll just say that wasteland is planned for school use and can't be used for real estate development. If you don't believe it, he can even produce so-called internal documents to prove it to you!"

Du Xiaojuan looked at Wang Dashan with a disdainful gaze, pitying his misfortune and hating his lack of fight:

"Wang Dashan, you're this old already, have some judgment of your own! I'm your wife, I've talked my throat raw and you still don't believe me. You've only met Zhang Fei a few times, and you believe whatever he says?"

Wang Dashan was left speechless once again.

Only now did he gradually come to believe Du Xiaojuan's words.

Du Xiaojuan had driven him around University Town three times today. He had indeed seen a great deal of undeveloped wasteland, but at the time he was feuding with Du Xiaojuan, his mind couldn't turn the corner, and he hadn't thought in this direction!

"But 5 million has already been invested. What do we do now?"

Wang Dashan was utterly dejected.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Zhang Fei already bought a house in Suishi Village, right? Take me to see it!"

Wang Dashan was somewhat unwilling, because he knew that if Du Xiaojuan went to see it, she would definitely get even angrier.

However, Du Xiaojuan insisted on seeing it:

"Hurry up, stop dilly-dallying. We'll look at the house, then go eat lunch. I'm starving to death!"

Wang Dashan could only lead the way in front, bringing Du Xiaojuan to an uninhabited dilapidated house inside Suishi Village, and then said:

"This is one of the houses Zhang Fei purchased..."

Du Xiaojuan immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"What? Just this broken-down house? This house is this dilapidated. Even if renovated, it probably couldn't get approval. It's obviously already a dangerous building!"

Wang Dashan explained with a bitter smile:

"Zhang Fei said houses like this are cheaper. Buy them and hold them, just wait patiently for demolition."

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan hated that iron wouldn't become steel:

"You believe talk like that? Wang Dashan, you really have a pig's brain!"

Then she asked again:

"What about the other houses?"

Wang Dashan chuckled:

"The other houses are pretty much the same. Better not go look."

Du Xiaojuan was so angry her chest hurt:

"Wang Dashan, you're angering me to death! Let's go, we're going back!"

"Not eating anymore?"

"I have no appetite!"

Du Xiaojuan turned and walked away.

Huffing with anger.

She really couldn't understand how such low-grade tactics could fool Wang Dashan completely.

Sigh! Her own son — I wonder if his IQ takes after his dad too?

If that's really the case, Du Xiaojuan really wants to die!

"Wife, how about you still eat a bit? What if you ruin your health from hunger?" Wang Dashan hurriedly caught up, grabbed Du Xiaojuan's hand, his face full of guilt.

Du Xiaojuan coldly shook off Wang Dashan's hand:

"I said I'm not eating, so I'm not eating. I've already been angered full by you!"

Du Xiaojuan got into the driver's seat and shouted at Wang Dashan:

"Hurry up and get in the car. If you don't get in, I'm leaving. You can take a taxi back yourself!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly ran over and got into the passenger seat:

"Wife, don't be so angry, okay? What if Suishi Village really does get urban renewal..."

"What if, what if. You have no brain, and you still say 'what if'!"

Wang Dashan not comforting Du Xiaojuan would have been fine; the moment he comforted her, she got even angrier.

She felt like she was going to develop breast nodules from being angered by Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan didn't know what to say anymore.

Du Xiaojuan took several deep breaths, calmed the anger in her heart, and only then drove back.

Otherwise she was afraid that driving with anger would trigger road rage and cause a car accident.

The car passed through Guanzhou Tunnel, left University Town, and only then did Du Xiaojuan speak:

"I won't make you recover the 5 million you invested in the urban renewal housing speculation. Didn't you say time would prove everything? Then let's wait and see whether time proves you right or me right!"

Du Xiaojuan also wanted to go get the money back from Zhang Fei.

She knew clearly in her heart that buying those abandoned dangerous houses in Suishi Village couldn't possibly cost much money. Zhang Fei and Hu Wanjia and the others definitely cooked the books. Most of the 5 million Wang Dashan invested was pocketed by them.

But on second thought, if that 5 million was recovered, it wouldn't be able to prove Wang Dashan was wrong.

And if she didn't chase it back, she could keep using this to make a fuss! Control Wang Dashan, nail Wang Dashan firmly at home, and make him honestly be a family cook!

Only thus could she avoid Wang Dashan coming out to stir up trouble again later!

Who knows, if he stirred up trouble again, he might create an even bigger hole!

Hearing Du Xiaojuan say she wouldn't go after that 5 million, Wang Dashan immediately revealed surprise; he thought Du Xiaojuan would very forcefully go find Hu Wanjia, Zhang Fei and the others to settle accounts!

After all, Du Xiaojuan was famous for caring about money!

But unexpectedly, this time Du Xiaojuan actually said she wouldn't chase back that 5 million!

This instead made Wang Dashan feel even more uncomfortable inside.

He then said:

"I'll go talk to Zhang Fei and have him return the money to me!"

Du Xiaojuan coldly said:

"You don't go, just afraid that if you go, you'll be sweet-talked into a daze again! Besides, you go talk to Zhang Fei, why would they give the money back to you? Didn't you sign a contract? No contract, no evidence, you fundamentally can't get it back; signed a contract, have evidence, you also can't possibly get the money back at this time!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"If he doesn't give it back to me, watch me not beat him to death!"

Du Xiaojuan laughed in anger:

"You're already a father, please can you not be so childish, you mustn't act recklessly, if it affects your son's future prospects, I won't spare you!"

Wang Dashan kept a straight face:

"Does it just have to be left at this?"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Otherwise what do you want? Don't you hang around with them anymore! Stay home properly and watch the kids for me! I'll earn the money!"

"Mm." Wang Dashan answered.

Counted as agreeing.

But inside he was clearly unhappy.

If it really became like this, wouldn't that completely confirm he was living off Du Xiaojuan?

Once this spread back to Shanggou Village, wouldn't he be laughed to death by others.

Just then, Du Xiaojuan spoke again:

"In a bit find any small restaurant on the road to settle lunch, then we'll go back to Shanggou Village together."

Wang Dashan was stunned:

"Go back to Shanggou Village for what?"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"You still haven't apologized to those dead and injured people's families, you say go back for what?"

"This..." Wang Dashan's expression flickered with a slight daze, "I haven't made psychological preparations yet, how about, another day..."

He really didn't know how to face those dead villagers' family members.

Du Xiaojuan however said:

"Tonight! The sooner this matter is resolved the better, lest the night bring more dreams; you also don't need any mental preparation, once you arrive at their home, just kneel down and say sorry, the rest of the words I'll help you say!"
