Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Zhanggen was questioned by Li Xiulan until he was quite speechless.

He even wanted to question Li Xiulan back, asking if she still wanted to continue living their life together?

But in the end he still held it in.

He darkened his face and replied:

"Liu Xiaoli is already married, what are you asking so much for?"

Wang Zhanggen's answer counted as irrelevant.

But it also made Li Xiulan stop pursuing the questioning.

Actually Li Xiulan had long since stopped yearning for Wang Zhanggen's love; what she wanted was the family's stability.

Wang Zhanggen's answer was telling her that no matter how he and Liu Xiaoli were in the past, now and in the future he and Liu Xiaoli were absolutely impossible; she could set her mind at ease a hundred times over regarding Wang Zhanggen.

Li Xiulan didn't continue asking further; actually she was also afraid in her heart.

Keeping some things bottled up without speaking is very heartbreaking, but if you tear things open and speak them, that would be an even more heart-wrenching pain.

She didn't say anything more, but turned around and went to make dinner.

While scooping rice, recalling all the grievances of these years, Li Xiulan couldn't help but shed tears.

Wang Zhanggen sat in the living room smoking with his head down, his heart also very displeased; these years he actually hadn't had it very smooth either, he went to the city to work, but in the end he returned in a sorry state, not bringing a single penny home, in outsiders' eyes he was just a joke.

Especially forming a stark contrast with the neighbor He Dazhu next door, the two families' houses were as different as heaven and earth, and he felt he was even more laughable.

To this day he still couldn't figure out why He Dazhu went out and hustled for a few years and could earn so much money, while he Wang Zhanggen went out to hustle even earlier than He Dazhu, yet couldn't earn money!

Couldn't earn money in the city, now back home, also couldn't earn money!

Just when it looked like he could earn money, because of a low-level calculation mistake, he had no choice but to take a loss doing Zhang Zhongtian's project!

He gritted his teeth and took on this project; reputation he got, but money he couldn't earn; the depression in it, probably only he himself knew clearly.

However, no matter how depressed, in the blink of an eye the next day arrived, and he had no choice but to go to work as usual.

Doing Zhang Zhongtian's building could be called the most tormenting project for Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan.

For the following half year, they both worked in a gloomy, unhappy mood.

But fortunately, the bitter days were finally endured through.

Half a year later, Zhang Zhongtian's villa building's raw structure was completed.

Zhang Zhongtian wasn't vague either, cheerfully settling the accounts for Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, the couple, twelve thousand yuan.

They took the money, not a bit happy.

Because when settling the wages they discovered that Lin Dajun and Zhou Hongwei's work days were coincidentally both two hundred days, meaning that building this building took twenty days more than the expected half year.

These twenty days' wages were not a small amount.

Originally they only needed to pay out ten thousand eight hundred yuan, but with the extra twenty days, it became twelve thousand yuan!

Meaning that this half year, Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen completely worked for nothing!

The twelve thousand yuan from contracting the project, before it even warmed in their hands, had to be paid out to Lin Dajun and Zhou Hongwei.

"Isn't this not a loss? We don't have to advance the payment ourselves, it's already accounted for fine, don't give me a stinky face!"

After giving Lin Dajun and Zhou Hongwei their wages, Li Xiulan saw Wang Zhanggen with a face full of gloom, so she said this sentence to him.

Although the tone wasn't too good, it also counted as comfort for Wang Zhanggen.

"I'm giving a stinky face not for you to see; if you can't stand watching, then don't look!"

Wang Zhanggen coldly returned this sentence.

Li Xiulan immediately got angry:

"Who insisted on taking this project back then? Saying it was for reputation, for credibility, result now not a penny earned, and you blame it on my head?"

Wang Zhanggen turned his face to the other side, coldly gave a sentence:

"I didn't blame you."

"Then who do you blame?" Li Xiulan questioned.

Wang Zhanggen self-mockingly gave a bitter laugh:

"I blame myself; perhaps I was born with a poor fate, destined not to earn money; finally contracted such a project, result still worked for nothing!"

"Born with a poor fate?" Li Xiulan was stunned, then thought of something, "You're saying our fate isn't good enough? Then should we go ask the Shenpo, see if there's a solution?"

Wang Zhanggen immediately glared:

"Does that thing work? Nowadays they all say to believe in science!"

Li Xiulan coldly said:

"Of course it works; when I was at my hardest, it was the Shenpo who guided me through the confusion, helped me pass the crisis!"

Li Xiulan recalled her experience of asking the gods; she from her heart thanked the Shenpo; during the time her mother passed away, she had no money, her husband was out of contact, her closest kin also passed away, she felt the whole world collapsed, she fell into deep despair; if not for the Shenpo giving her guidance, perhaps at that time she would already have been unable to endure.

"Back then the Shenpo also said, you betray me and will naturally have your own retribution; result guess what? Not long after, you entered the Zhangmutou detention center!"

Li Xiulan felt the Shenpo was truly efficacious.

The Shenpo also said, as long as she didn't do heavy work before the second year's spring, her waist would get better; result now it really got better, and doesn't relapse much.

"Hehe, really that efficacious?"

Wang Zhanggen gave a bitter laugh.

At the same time, in his heart he was thinking.

Now he lived so unhappily, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't earn money; surely it must be because he was unfaithful to his family, heaven's punishment?

"Of course, it's really effective. Back in my hometown town, almost everyone thinks Shenpo is very effective!"

Li Xiulan said thus.

Wang Zhanggen said:

"Then on the next market day, let's go ask?"

In the blink of an eye, the market day of the neighboring town arrived.

Li Xiulan brought Wang Zhanggen and came to Shenpo's home.

Wang Zhanggen saw that inside Shenpo's courtyard was actually crowded with queuing customers, and couldn't help but feel surprised in his inner heart.

He felt that so many people came to find Shenpo to ask god, estimating that this Shenpo really had some skill.

After waiting about an hour and a half, it was finally Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan couple's turn.

Shenpo however only let one person in, saying asking god could only come one by one, could not be two together; if two together, then they would have to pay double the money.

Finally Li Xiulan let Wang Zhanggen go in, she herself waited outside.

After Wang Zhanggen went in, Shenpo asked him if he had any problem; he poured out all the secrets in his inner heart, saying he had previously kept two women outside, saying he now lived unhappily, saying he couldn't earn money.

Shenpo heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal contempt.

"This is your karmic affinity; you created this karma, you owe this karmic debt, and a price is needed. A lifetime of poverty and suffering is heaven's price for you! It's just a pity for your wife, who has to accompany you in suffering and toil!"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly asked:

"Immortal Granny, then you say what method can repay this karmic debt?"
