Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

With Zhang Yueran putting it that way, Wang Erhai ultimately chose to come clean to her.

"Zhang Sheng did indeed ask me to do something for him. This matter, if someone else did it, might not seem like much, but for me to do it, I really find it embarrassing, yet I have no way to refuse him."

Zhang Yueran listened patiently and asked gently:

"Tell me, what did he ask you to do? Maybe I can help you come up with a plan."

Wang Erhai then told her honestly:

"He asked me to pass one million to my Third Brother. This one million, he just now transferred into my account."

Hearing this, Zhang Yueran was immediately astonished:

"Isn't this equivalent to bribing your Third Brother! With your Third Brother's character, he absolutely would not accept this one million from Zhang Sheng."

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly:

"Zhang Sheng anticipated this too. He said to let me first give the money to my Third Brother in my own name, and wait a period of time before telling my Third Brother the truth."

Zhang Yueran hurriedly said:

"This absolutely won't do. This will ruin your Third Brother! Don't just look at how your Third Brother is currently working at the grassroots level in the township, but he is not an ordinary grassroots worker. He is a Selected Graduate. His future official career is bright and boundless. It absolutely cannot be ruined because of this matter!"

Wang Erhai sighed:

"I think so too, but what to do now?"

If the Wang Family were still very poor right now, then this one million would indeed hold no small temptation.

But the Wang Family is no longer as destitute as before.

Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan already have assets worth over a hundred million in Guangzhou. He, Wang Erhai, and Zhang Yueran in the County Town, although a bit less, still have assets of several hundred million, nearing ten million.

This one million, to tell the truth, is not much to them!

If Wang Xiaohua wanted it, they could completely just give it directly!

There is absolutely no need for Zhang Sheng to provide support!

But Zhang Sheng just had to stuff this one million to Wang Xiaohua!

One can only say, this Zhang Sheng, his conduct and handling of affairs is truly too cunning!

He can always first find a reason that makes you unable to refuse, and then make a demand of you.

Zhang Yueran then said:

"Don't be confused. Zhang Sheng's favor must be repaid, that's true, but your Third Brother is family. You must not, for the sake of repaying an outsider's favor, ruin your Third Brother's future!"

With Zhang Yueran saying this, Wang Erhai's heart trembled.

Only then did he suddenly wake up to the reality!

Right!

An outsider is ultimately an outsider!

How can one, for the sake of repaying an outsider's favor, ruin one's own brother?

Zhang Yueran spoke again at this time:

"Even if we take ten thousand steps back and say this one million has no impact on your Third Brother's future official career, your Third Brother would still passively owe Zhang Sheng such a favor. It will definitely have to be repaid in the future! And with Zhang Sheng's deeply scheming character, he has now invested one million in your Third Brother. In the future, he will probably want to recover double, triple, even ten times the return!"

Wang Erhai's heart trembled again. He felt his wife's words were too reasonable!

Zhang Yueran continued:

"Think about it. Later, when your Third Brother becomes a Leader, because of this one million matter now, Zhang Sheng goes and makes your Third Brother do some illegal or disciplinary things. Your Third Brother is unwilling, so he threatens to expose this one million matter. What will your Third Brother do then? At that time, your Third Brother would truly be completely ruined!"

Wang Erhai's heart trembled once more.

Just now he only knew he shouldn't do such a thing.

But he hadn't thought deeply about how severe the consequences would be!

"Then what to do now?"

Wang Erhai's face changed drastically.

Zhang Yueran thought for a moment, then said:

"If you don't help Zhang Sheng with this favor, Zhang Sheng will definitely be unhappy. And if he is unhappy, your days at Liguo Mountain will be miserable. But if you do help this favor, your Third Brother will be ruined. This is indeed a dilemma with no way out. Sigh, you shouldn't have gone to beg Zhang Sheng to help handle Liang Xinghua in the first place."

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly:

"Wife, I know I was wrong. From now on, whatever happens, I won't go beg Zhang Sheng. You're right. Zhang Sheng is a smiling tiger. I simply can't outplay him!"

Zhang Yueran then said:

"How about being honest with your Third Brother? Perhaps he can come up with a perfect solution."

Wang Erhai asked:

"But what if even Third Brother can't come up with a perfect solution?"

Zhang Yueran then said:

"Then you return the money to Zhang Sheng. If Zhang Sheng is dissatisfied with you, you resign from Liguo Mountain. Anyway, we already have several hundred million in savings right now. Living a plain, ordinary life in this small County Town is already completely enough. If Zhang Sheng still relentlessly pursues us, we'll move to another city, buy a house, and live there. Zhang Sheng can at most only walk sideways in this small County Town. Once he leaves this County Town, he can't do anything to us!"

Wang Erhai frowned instead:

"Then what about your Teacher job?"

Zhang Yueran, however, said very carefreely:

"Worst case I just quit. Being a teacher is exhausting, and the salary isn't high either. Going to a big city to find a job, it might be even more relaxed than now!"

Zhang Yueran was deliberately acting carefree at this moment, because she knew that if she didn't show she didn't care much about her own job, Wang Erhai might be reluctant to make the decision for her sake.

Wang Erhai looked at Zhang Yueran, and couldn't help but feel guilt.

It was all his fault; he had only wanted to hurriedly deal with Liang Xinghua before, but never thought about what kind of price he would need to pay to ask Zhang Sheng for help.

"Wife, you're really too good! You're the gift heaven gave me!"

Wang Erhai's eyes reddened.

Zhang Yueran revealed a smile:

"You're also the gift heaven gave me! Don't dawdle, hurry up and call your Third Brother, tell him everything in detail, have him come help think of a method!"

Wang Erhai nodded heavily:

"Okay, wife!"

Wang Erhai no longer had wild thoughts, no longer hesitated indecisively.

He took out his mobile phone and called his Third Brother.

At this time the night was already deep, but Wang Xiaohua hadn't slept.

He was still in the office processing documents.

The phone rang, interrupting his concentration.

Picking up the mobile phone, seeing it was his own Second Brother calling, Wang Xiaohua immediately answered:

"Second Brother, it's so late, what's the matter calling me?"

Wang Erhai said:

"Third Brother, I have a matter to tell you, this matter could be big or small..."

As soon as Wang Xiaohua heard, he knew this wasn't a small matter, but he had already maintained calm:

"Mm, you speak, I'm listening."

Wang Erhai then told Wang Xiaohua the whole story in detail, from him being harassed by Liang Xinghua, to him finding Zhang Sheng to help deal with Liang Xinghua, then to Zhang Sheng giving him one million, wanting him to transfer the money to Wang Xiaohua.

After hearing Wang Erhai's account, Wang Xiaohua's face color became heavy.

How is this big or small, this is clearly a big thing!

This move of Zhang Sheng's is truly too cunning!

Additionally Wang Xiaohua's first reaction wasn't to process his own matters, but to generate a suspicion:

"Liang Xinghua hasn't come disturb you for so long, how did he suddenly appear again? Could this be Zhang Sheng secretly pulling strings?"

Hearing Wang Xiaohua say this, Wang Erhai's face color suddenly changed, his scalp even went numb!

He actually hadn't thought of this layer from beginning to end!

Now with Wang Xiaohua saying this, he thought carefully again, and felt there really was this possibility!

This treacherous merchant Zhang Sheng has always been very crafty; without conditions, he would secretly use tactics to create conditions!

"Third... Third Brother, you say now what to do..."

Wang Erhai's speech even stammered a bit; his back, involuntarily, broke out in cold sweat.
