Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Hello, Eldest Sister-in-law."

When Wang Erhai received the call from Du Xiaojuan, he was having breakfast together with Zhang Yueran and Zhang Yueran's parents.

Now they have moved to live on Zhang Yueran's hometown side.

Although Zhang Sheng said Liang Xinghua would never be able to come harass them again, they still decided to stay at Zhang Yueran's parents' place for a period of time, waiting until after the baby is born to decide whether to move back into that house in the county town.

"Erhai, my husband and I will be arriving back on the county town side soon."

Du Xiaojuan spoke like this.

Wang Erhai couldn't help but be stunned:

"Eldest Sister-in-law, are you coming back today too?"

Du Xiaojuan laughed and said:

"Yes, why? Not welcome?"

"No no no!" Wang Erhai hurriedly denied it, and also said: "If you're coming back, I couldn't be happier, I just didn't expect you to be so busy yet still able to make time to come back!"

Du Xiaojuan laughed and said:

"Today is Sunday, so I have more time!"

Wang Erhai then said:

"Then when you get back, let's all have a meal together. It's been a long time since our whole big family gathered together!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Du Xiaojuan readily agreed, and also asked with concern:

"By the way, how is your wife doing now? When is she due to give birth?"

Wang Erhai laughed and said:

"She's doing quite well, not much morning sickness, still working normally, still three months until the due date, she'll only take leave one month before the due date."

Du Xiaojuan then exclaimed with feeling:

"Being a teacher is great, not only do you have winter and summer vacations every year, but also maternity leave! The work is leisurely, and benefits are guaranteed!"

Wang Erhai then said with a laugh:

"No matter how good being a teacher is, it's not as good as you being a Female CEO, you're practically living like the female lead in a novel, countless people can't even envy you!"

Du Xiaojuan, praised like this, couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"On the surface I'm a female lead, but actually every day there are endless things to deal with. Okay, I'll stop talking. In a bit I'll have Dashan get off the expressway at the county town, go to your place first, then we'll all go back to Shanggou Village together."

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"My wife and I don't live in that house anymore, but at Yueran's hometown here!"

Du Xiaojuan was stunned:

"The county town house is perfectly fine, why aren't you living there?"

Wang Erhai didn't say much, only said:

"Moving back to my wife's parents' home, her parents can help take care of things, and my wife lives more peacefully."

Then hurriedly said again:

"You guys coming over here works too. In a bit I'll send the location to your WeChat, have Big Brother navigate over!"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Okay, then I'll have Big Brother navigate over in a bit!"

Du Xiaojuan hung up the phone.

Before long she received the location sent by Wang Erhai.

Zhang Yueran's hometown is right near the county town, and the distance from where Wang Erhai lived before is actually not very far.

Du Xiaojuan then said to Wang Dashan:

"In a bit we'll get off the expressway at the county town, we'll go buy some gifts first, then go to your second brother's wife's hometown, take a look there, then all go back to Shanggou Village together."

Wang Dashan heard this, frowned slightly, wanted to speak but stopped.

Du Xiaojuan saw his expression and said:

"If you have something to say, say it, don't hold it in!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"Didn't Master Yang say he would try to come over earlier today? We go to Second Brother's place, then go back, Master Yang will probably have to wait for us in Shanggou Village, that's not too good, right?"

Du Xiaojuan however said:

"What's not good about it? We paid money, and even added two thousand yuan extra. Since he took this money, he has to accommodate our schedule, not us accommodate his!"

Wang Dashan however said:

"You doing this is a bit disrespectful to Master Yang!"

And actually, Du Xiaojuan indeed doesn't respect these people who do feng shui superstition very much.

Not only Master Yang, even Wu Banxian, she doesn't respect much either.

The main reason is she doesn't believe that stuff.

Not believing, naturally she can't be reverent and respectful to them.

Not sneering at these people who pretend to be gods and play ghosts is already not bad.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Right now, we and that Yang Dashi are in a Party A and Party B relationship — he should be the one respecting us, okay? Besides, going to your second brother's wife's hometown won't take much time, an hour or two at most."

Wang Dashan didn't want to say anything more.

After all, they were going to his second brother's place, not someone else's, so he just said coldly:

"Fine, fine. Once we get off the expressway at the county city side, hurry up and buy things, hurry up and go to second brother's place — we're very pressed for time!"

Soon, they got off the expressway and arrived at the county city side.

Wang Dashan parked the car, then went with Du Xiaojuan to the mall to buy gifts.

At the jewelry store here, Du Xiaojuan bought some precious gifts for Zhang Yueran and Zhang Yueran's parents, and also bought some for Wang Xiaohua along the way; Yang Dashi bought one for him too.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan spend money without blinking an eye, Wang Dashan couldn't help but complain:

"It's not any special holiday — is there a need to buy such expensive stuff? They might not even be able to use it!"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Never mind whether they can use it or not — as long as they know my gifts to them are expensive, can clearly feel my sincerity, that's enough."

Seeing Du Xiaojuan even give gifts to Yang Dashi, Wang Dashan was quite puzzled:

"Didn't you have a lot of opinions about Yang Dashi? Saying he's Party B — why are you giving gifts to Party B?"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Am I not doing this for your sake? What if he really holds a grudge against us and picks a terribly bad feng shui spot for your dad? If something goes wrong then, you'd probably blame me again! I give him gifts, he sees my sincerity, he'll definitely do a good job!"

Wang Dashan gave a dry laugh:

"Everything's a business deal to you."

Du Xiaojuan said:

"This is a business deal in the first place, okay."

Wang Dashan asked:

"You don't think being with me is also a business deal, do you?"

Du Xiaojuan froze, looking at Wang Dashan with a strange expression:

"What are you thinking? Me being with you — how could that be a business deal? If you really looked at it with a business eye, me being with you — I'd be the one getting the raw deal, okay!"

Wang Dashan gave a dry laugh:

"Am I that worthless?"

Du Xiaojuan said without any reservation:

"This practically counts as poverty alleviation! Don't get a bargain and act cute about it! How many men aren't as lucky as you!"

Hearing this, Wang Dashan became even more unhappy:

"Meaning, in your eyes, I'm eating soft rice too."

Du Xiaojuan only then realized something was off — Wang Dashan's damn pride was acting up again.

So she hurried to fix it:

"Don't think like that, okay? Marrying you, I'm very lucky too — how many women want a husband like you, handsome and loyal and a bit simple-minded, but can't get one? And I just happened to meet you!"

Hearing Du Xiaojuan's words, Wang Dashan felt a little better inside.

His stiff face couldn't help but show a trace of a smile:

"Is what you said true?"

Du Xiaojuan said with a straight face:

"Of course it's true!"

Wang Dashan laughed and sighed:

"How long has it been since I heard you say such true words!"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Fine, fine, I was wrong. I'll say more such big true words from now on — that'll do, right?"

In her heart she was complaining: such a grown man, and she has to coax him like a little brat!

But if coaxing works, that's fine too — at least it shows this man is actually quite simple, not to the point of playing schemes against her.
