Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan arrived at Wu Banxian's house in the neighboring town.

They had been to Wu Banxian's house many times before, so this time they knew the way well.

However, upon arriving at Wu Banxian's house this time, they saw a scene they never could have imagined.

They saw that Wu Banxian's previous house had already been demolished, and a new building was currently under construction.

The main structural framework of the new building was already complete, and the roof had been poured.

Only the infill walls and interior decoration remained.

Judging by this framework, it should be a five-story villa!

Seeing this, both Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai were stunned.

"No way, where did Wu Banxian get the money to actually build a five-story building? Can he even live in that many rooms?"

Wang Dashan couldn't help but complain.

He was someone who had lived in a grand villa.

He knew how difficult it was to manage so many rooms.

Wang Erhai let out a dry laugh:

"Wu Banxian probably wants to show off. After all, he made money, and in this rural area, if you don't build a new building, there's nowhere else to spend it."

Wang Dashan listened and also felt that made sense.

There are really too few places to spend money in the countryside.

Either you buy a car for transportation, or you build a self-built house.

Besides that, if you don't whore or gamble, you truly can't find a place to spend money even if you want to.

However, when they came to an old house next to the new building and found Wu Banxian, they saw a picture they absolutely could not have anticipated.

They saw Wu Banxian lying on a broken bed in a side room of the old house, already skin and bones, on his last breath.

The one responsible for receiving Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai was Wu Banxian's eldest son, Wu Dayong.

Wu Banxian had three children; besides the eldest son Wu Dayong, there was a second daughter Wu Aifang, and a youngest son Wu Xiaoliang.

Upon learning that Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai had come to ask Wu Banxian for fortune-telling, Wu Dayong brought them to Wu Banxian's bedside and also instructed them:

"Don't stay too long. My old man is weak and needs rest."

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai both nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying they would only stay for about half an hour.

Upon entering the side room, a foul smell rushed at them.

It was a kind of indescribable smell.

There was the smell of feces and urine, the odor brought by breathing, and even the smell of a rotting body.

Wu Banxian was just hanging on by a thread, lying on the bed, his breathing accompanied by a difficult wheezing sound.

"Wu Banxian, what happened to you?"

Both Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai were very surprised.

Seeing guests arrive, Wu Banxian forced a smile onto his face, then struggled to prop himself up into a sitting position on the bed.

"I recognize you two. You're Wang Changgen's eldest son and second son, right?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly nodded:

"Yes, Wu Banxian, your memory is really good."

Wu Banxian smiled bitterly:

"Of course. Your parents often came to me for fortune-telling, and they often told me that their three sons are not only promising but also very filial. To tell the truth, I really envy them!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"What's there to envy? Don't you have children too? I see they're also promising and filial to you!"

Wu Banxian smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Promising my ass, filial my ass!"

Faced with Wu Banxian's reaction, Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai didn't know what to say for a moment.

Perhaps because he had been bedridden for too long, with no one to confide in, grievances accumulated in his belly; at this moment Wu Banxian poured out his bitterness to Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai.

"You don't know. My two sons and one daughter — not a single one truly cares about me. They're all after my money!"

"No way, is there some misunderstanding?" Wang Erhai's tone carried sympathy.

But Wu Banxian said:

"No misunderstanding. They just want me to die early! You saw that newly built five-story building, didn't you? I have lung cancer. They won't spend money to treat me; instead, they took the money to build that building! They even said, 'He can't be saved anyway. Better to save the money and avoid losing both the person and the wealth!'"

Speaking to this point, Wu Banxian let out a sigh:

"Alas, if I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have given the money I earned to them. If I'd kept it in my own bank account, at least I could still control it myself. The doctor said there was still a chance..."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan finally understood.

It turned out Wu Banxian had told fortunes for a lifetime and saved up quite a bit of savings, but he had given all these savings to his three children and kept very little for himself.

As a result, now that Wu Banxian had lung cancer and needed money for treatment, his three children didn't choose to take the money out to treat him, but instead used the money to build that five-story villa!

So Wu Banxian's heart turned cold, yet he was powerless!

Because he had no money, he didn't even have the right to decide over his own life!

Wu Banxian sighed again at this moment:

"Didn't Expect I spent a Lifetime telling fortunes for others, yet failed to foresee I'd meet such an end myself."

Wang Dashan said indignantly:

"Your three children are truly too heartless!"

Wang Erhai, however, didn't Say anything, because he felt that as an Outsider, he shouldn't Lightly judge someone else's family matters.

After All, even an upright official finds it hard to settle Housework disputes, let alone an Ordinary Person like him?

Wu Banxian chuckled:

"Indeed, my three children — Eldest Brother Wu Dayong, no great use; second daughter Wu Aifang, not much compassion; Youngest Brother Wu Xiaoliang, not much conscience. Hehe, truly people live up to their names. Why did I give them such names Initially?"

In Wu Banxian's bitter laugh was full of self-mockery.

After the self-mockery, he then returned to the main topic:

"Right, what matter did You All come to find me for?"

Wang Erhai then said:

"We originally planned to have Wu Banxian help examine our father's Grave feng shui, to see if Grave Relocation is needed. Now seeing Wu Banxian your body like this, afraid you can't do this matter. Why not Recommend a colleague for us?"

Wu Banxian, however, said:

"No matter, I still have half a breath, so I can still do this work. You bring me there and I'll know good or bad at a glance."

Wang Dashan then said:

"This isn't quite right, is it? Wu Banxian, why not introduce a capable colleague instead? Reassure yourself, the referral fee won't be short."

Wang Dashan, though his Nerves are rather straightforward, isn't completely foolish.

If Wu Banxian went to examine their Grave feng shui and died halfway, wouldn't they attract a whole body of Troublesome matters?

So having Wu Banxian go examine Grave feng shui is absolutely impossible.

Wu Banxian heard Wang Dashan say he'd give a referral fee, only then Changed his Address and said:

"Introducing for you is Also Okay, just if another master messes it up, don't Blame me!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Wu Banxian rest assured, definitely won't blame you!"

Wang Dashan then hurriedly took out his wallet and on the spot gave Wu Banxian One Thousand Yuan:

"Wu Banxian, you tell us a name, tell us Contact Information, that's enough. The rest we'll handle Ourselves back home."

Wu Banxian then said:

"Then I'll Say, you all note it down."

"His name is Yang Jiu, a professional Geography Master. His phone number is..."
