Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"On the road, will be there in a bit."

Du Xiaojuan replied to his message very quickly, and also said:

"I don't know how to get to your house, how about you meet me at the village entrance?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly replied:

"Okay okay, then I'll go wait for you at the village entrance right now!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly stood up, and said:

"Xiao Juan is almost here, I'm going to the village entrance to pick her up, you guys eat first, don't wait for us!"

After saying this, Wang Dashan hurriedly ran out.

Du Xiaojuan hadn't arrived yet, he didn't want to stay in this house for even a moment.

Because he was afraid Uncle's family would mutter about him in their hearts, mock him in their hearts.

Wang Changgen politely said at this time:

"Then let's eat first, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, let's eat!"

Wang Zhangtian hurriedly said instead:

"It's just a few minutes, let's wait until everyone's here before eating!"

Wang Zhangtian still understood this bit of etiquette, so although Wang Changgen spoke up saying they could eat first, he still proposed waiting a bit longer.

He also wanted to take advantage of this waiting opportunity to talk to Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan about the grave relocation matter.

However, he didn't bring up the grave relocation right away, after all, that grave of the old man's was determined by a Feng Shui Master invited by Wang Changgen before, and now Wang Changgen's family is thriving, if he brought it up directly, they definitely wouldn't be willing.

So Wang Zhangtian decided to go about it in a roundabout way.

He opened with a concerned question:

"Little Brother, have things been going okay recently?"

Wang Changgen gave a dry, embarrassed laugh:

"Alright I guess, day after day, plain and ordinary, all about the same!"

Wang Zhangtian said instead:

"But how come I hear people in the village saying you had a cerebral infarction and were hospitalized not long ago? A cerebral infarction is a big deal, you didn't even tell me, your own big brother."

Wang Changgen laughed embarrassedly:

"It's nothing, aren't I fine now? I just thought, you work in the city, you're very busy, didn't want to disturb you, after all, you said you had no time to come back for the banquet on New Year's Eve."

Wang Zhangtian then said:

"I really had no time then, eating someone else's food, listening to someone else's orders, no choice, you don't know, I've had a very bad time these past few years, changed jobs several times, each change worse than the last, my son isn't sensible either, this old and still not finding a partner, just knows how to play! Truly everything goes wrong!"

Zhao Lifen chimed in at this time:

"Not long ago we went to ask a god, the Shenpo said our Feng Shui has a problem!"

Then hurriedly added:

"You had a sudden cerebral infarction not long ago, probably also caused by bad Feng Shui!"

Wang Changgen was somewhat stunned and surprised, he hadn't expected it to be traced to Feng Shui.

"No way, these past few years the Feng Shui has been fine......"

These past few years Wang Changgen's family could be considered relatively smooth sailing.

He and Li Xiulan, the two of them as foremen, earned a bit of money, the family had some savings.

Eldest Son went to be a soldier, came out and found work very smoothly.

Youngest Son's grades originally weren't that good, but later they slowly improved, he even got first place!

The only not-so-good things were Second Son being cheated into a pyramid scheme, and his own sudden cerebral infarction.

But both these matters were close calls without disaster, ultimately both passed safely.

Second Son stayed in the pyramid scheme den for two months before being rescued back.

And his sudden cerebral infarction, although it nearly took his life, he luckily survived, and now he's recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

"I also heard Second Nephew was cheated into a pyramid scheme not long ago, the Feng Shui definitely has a problem, otherwise how could such things happen!"

Wang Zhangtian spoke like this.

Although he only just returned to Shanggou Village this morning, he didn't do a little inquiring about village matters.

The matter of Wang Erhai being cheated into a pyramid scheme, the whole Shanggou Village knows, it's only natural he could find out, after all what the countryside lacks least is people who gossip and spread news.

Wang Erhai right then immediately turned red with embarrassment, hurriedly lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Being cheated into a pyramid scheme can be said to be the biggest stain on his life up to now.

Wang Changgen didn't know what to say either.

He also had a face full of embarrassment.

Because that's not just his second son's stain, it's also his, Wang Changgen's, stain.

This matter is indeed quite embarrassing.

Wang Zhangtian continued:

"That Shenpo we went to ask, many people say she's quite efficacious, she said our family's Feng Shui has a problem, then it's probably eighty to ninety percent a Feng Shui problem. She also said, if we don't promptly go change the Feng Shui, within three to five years, us two brothers will have big problems!"

Wang Changgen's expression turned heavy.

If that's really the case, then it must be treated with due seriousness!

"Did that Shenpo say where our feng shui has a problem?"

Seeing Wang Zhanggen had fallen for it, Wang Zhangtian struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly said:

"That Shenpo said it's our old man's grave site feng shui that has a problem; we must find him a new feng shui treasure land!"

Wang Zhanggen was immediately puzzled:

"That shouldn't be right; the grave was already relocated before, and the Geography Master said the current place is a very good feng shui treasure land!"

Wang Zhangtian, however, said:

"So many years have passed; perhaps that grave site's feng shui changed long ago. You also know, feng shui isn't immutable — it's alive, it changes."

Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen indeed went to ask the Shenpo before Spring Festival this year.

The Shenpo indeed also said their feng shui had a problem.

But what she said was that the old man's grave site only brings prosperity to his younger brother Wang Zhanggen's family, not to his family. Not only does it not bring prosperity to his family, it even sucks away his family's Qi Luck.

Wang Zhangtian naturally could not possibly reveal this kind of true situation.

Otherwise they'd likely fall out completely, and wouldn't even be brothers anymore.

He told a lie, blaming Wang Zhanggen's cerebral infarction and Wang Erhai being cheated into a pyramid scheme on the feng shui problem, making Wang Zhanggen also feel that grave site's feng shui was bad.

That way, Wang Zhanggen would very likely agree to relocate the grave.

In doing so, much unnecessary conflict could be avoided.

The two brothers could also continue getting along harmoniously.

"If the feng shui really has a problem, then relocate the grave!"

Li Xiulan, who hadn't spoken much, spoke up at this moment with this one sentence.

She also felt the feng shui might have a problem.

Wang Zhanggen's sudden cerebral infarction — that's a big thing, could cost a life if not careful.

If it weren't a feng shui problem, how could such a big thing possibly happen?

Wang Zhangtian said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, isn't this asking for you two's opinion? After all, the old man's grave isn't mine alone."

Zhao Lifen then chimed in to mediate:

"If you agree to relocate the grave, after Spring Festival we'll get the Geography Master to come find a new grave site, then pick an auspicious day and get this matter done."

Wang Yaohua, sitting to the side, took out his mobile phone to play Temple Run again.

Knowing the whole truth, he played the mobile game with his head down, unable to keep a look of contempt off his face.

In his inner heart he felt extreme contempt for his parents' way of doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.

But he couldn't very well expose everything to their faces; after all, they were his birth parents.

Wang Xiaohua, sitting to the side and not saying much, also caught a hint from Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen's words, expressions, and body language.

He always felt his Uncle and Eldest Aunt were a bit off, but he also couldn't bring himself to say anything.

If he openly questioned what they said, that would be too rash.

Additionally, he didn't believe in that feng shui stuff.

He felt his current grades/scores had nothing to do with feng shui at all — they were all due to his own hard work.

If feng shui really worked, our Country would have overtaken Europe and America long ago; after all, many graves and buildings in Europe and America commit major feng shui taboos.

So whether his grandfather's grave is relocated or not is of no importance to him.

He wouldn't care about it either.

Wang Zhanggen pondered a moment, then finally nodded in agreement:

"Alright then; after Spring Festival, we'll invite the Geography Master to come take a look."

From start to finish he never suspected his big brother was deceiving him.
