Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

If Wang Dashan had just found some lie to smooth things over, this matter might well have been perfectly resolved, and He Dazhu would very likely return after a while to voluntarily relocate the grave.

Only Wang Dashan's mind was a bit straightforward; he was not the sort who knew how to be flexible, understood nothing of human relations, and instead was often self-righteous.

So when facing He Dazhu's questions, he actually just blurted out the honest truth:

"I had the Geography Master take a look; your family's ancestral grave is too high, your family can't suppress it, but for my family it happens to be just right, so I thought, let you move your father's golden bones away, and I'll bury my father's golden bones in your father's current spot; this is actually for your own good too—if you agree, I can even give you some money, this way you're good, I'm good, everyone's good."

His words were full of sincerity, truly beyond candid.

Carrying forward his consistent style from when he founded Shanhai Real Estate, that was to treat people with "sincerity."

But not all sincerity in this world can be exchanged for sincerity.

Especially now, this matter clearly carried an insulting nature.

The more sincere Wang Dashan was, the more insulted He Dazhu felt.

"What? You want me to move my father's grave, and then you bury your father where my father is?"

He Dazhu immediately laughed from anger:

"Wang Dashan, you're not just trying to take over the magpie's nest, you fucking want your father, that useless man, to be my father! Is there anyone who insults people like you! I, He Dazhu, may be down on my luck, but I don't care for your stinking money! Get the hell out of here! I will absolutely not give up my father's grave plot! If you dare touch my father's grave plot, we're not finished!"

After saying this, He Dazhu viciously hung up the phone.

This made him so angry his breathing became uneven.

"Wang Dashan, you're going too far! Just because you made it in Guangzhou, a person can't always be smooth sailing; wait until you're down on your luck, see how I deal with you!"

He Dazhu, huffing and puffing with anger, cursed at the air.

Wang Dashan had been hung up on by He Dazhu, his face full of speechlessness, and he still didn't know what he had said wrong.

"I was just telling the truth; why is He Dazhu so angry? I already said I was willing to pay, I'm being so sincere, yet he treats me like this—truly speechless!"

Wang Dashan said this.

The meaning of these words was obvious: this matter was messed up, it couldn't be blamed on him; if anyone was to blame, blame He Dazhu.

Wang Xiaohua was not at all surprised by this; his expression was calm, and he even comforted him:

"Big Brother, this really isn't your fault; since we can't get that feng shui treasure land, let's just have Yang Dashi go find another feng shui treasure land; anyway, Shangou Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are plenty of places to choose from for a grave plot."

Wang Dashan sighed:

"There's nothing else to be done."

But Wang Erhai couldn't help complaining:

"I said long ago to let me handle the communication, but you insisted on showing off! With your straightforward personality, what matter isn't ruined by you! Do you know how important this grave relocation is to me?"

Hearing this, Wang Dashan was unhappy:

"Second Brother, do you mean to blame me?"

Wang Erhai said coldly:

"You're the eldest brother, and among us three brothers you earn the most; although you earn it relying on Eldest Sister-in-law, how could I dare blame you?"

Wang Erhai's words were clearly somewhat sarcastic.

Hearing this, Wang Dashan felt uncomfortable in his heart:

"Don't say that; even if I don't rely on Du Xiaojuan, I can still make something of myself!"

"Right right right, you've always thought you were very capable, but you never look back at how many things you've messed up along the way; if it weren't for Eldest Sister-in-law wiping your butt behind the scenes, do you think you could still be living comfortably like now?"

After saying these words, Wang Erhai realized he had misspoken.

The most fatal thing was, these were the truth.

And the truth often hurts the most.

It also left Wang Dashan unable to argue back.

Wang Dashan had a black face and could not speak.

Inside the car, a silence fell, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

It was Wang Xiaohua who at this moment spoke up to smooth things over:

"Okay okay, stop arguing; among brothers, harmony is most important; it's just relocating a grave, a small matter, no need to create conflict; still the same thing—let Yang Dashi come over and just find another grave plot."

But Wang Erhai said:

"Third Brother, in a bit send me He Dazhu's mobile phone number; later I'll go communicate with He Dazhu again."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Second Brother, there's really no need; Big Brother has already put it that way; no matter how much you communicate, He Dazhu probably won't agree; even if he agrees, it would probably cost a lot of money, not worth it."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai knew what his Third Brother said made sense.

So in the end he could only let out a long turbid breath.

Then he couldn't help but complain to Wang Dashan again:

"Big Brother, I'm not saying this about you, but can you just listen to Eldest Sister-in-law's words for once, and stop being self-righteous about everything! And don't think that just because you're the eldest brother you're better than me and Third Brother; if you're really so awesome, why didn't you get into university in the college entrance exam back then? As for our father's funeral earlier, it was also your own initiative that caused such a big car accident..."

Wang Dashan hurriedly interrupted Wang Erhai's words:

"Stop it! Don't bring up those old matters, okay; I went to join the army in my senior year of high school, I didn't even take the college entrance exam; if I had really taken it, I might not have done worse than you; didn't you also fail to get into university!"

As for the car accident that caused 7 deaths and 11 injuries, Wang Dashan chose to selectively block it and not talk about it.

Then he said again:

"Don't forget who it was back then who was deceived into going to Guangxi to run a pyramid scheme, and who it was who ran to Guangxi to search for you for over a month and saved you!"

Wang Erhai was left speechless.

He could only drive in a sullen mood.

He attached great importance to this grave relocation.

But the result was ruined by his eldest brother.

So to say he had no complaints, that was impossible.

But when Wang Dashan brought up the time he was cheated in a pyramid scheme, he had no way to say anything further.

Because that time, it was indeed his eldest brother who saved his life.

Wang Xiaohua spoke good words to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, both of you say a few sentences less. Still that same sentence — when we turn back, we'll have Yang Dashi pick a Feng Shui Treasure Land again."

Under Wang Xiaohua's patient persuasion, Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai only then stopped speaking further.

However, between the two of them, in their hearts there was more or less some discomfort.

One could even say a trace of estrangement had appeared.

But this is also normal. Don't look at how good their brotherly relationship was before; now so many years not living together, each busy with their own careers, rarely gathering together to have a heart-to-heart chat, plus the huge gap in values between each other, the brotherly bond naturally fades slowly with time.

If at this time their respective wives blow wind in their ears, then not to mention the bond fading, even brothers turning against each other and becoming enemies is possible.

Wang Xiaohua saw the quarrel between his eldest and second brother, and couldn't help but feel a trance. In that instant he suddenly understood why the brotherly bond of the previous generation would be so thin, so distant, even to the point of being strangers.

And the three brothers now, each with their own families, each with their own work, seem to have stepped onto the previous generation's cycle of reincarnation again.

This is like a curse, an inescapable fate.

Unless someone can step forward to reverse it, to unite, to change it.
