Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Hearing Wang Zhanggen's answer, Wang Zhangtian's hanging heart finally relaxed, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

He had always been worried that the grave relocation matter would cause unpleasantness with his own younger brother.

Now that Wang Zhanggen had agreed, everything was auspicious; when the time came, the two brothers could discuss it together and relocate to a new feng shui treasure land.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Wang Dashan was waiting at the village entrance.

Du Xiaojuan still hadn't arrived, making him feel somewhat impatient in his heart.

"Didn't you say you were almost here?"

Wang Dashan sent Du Xiaojuan a message on WeChat.

Du Xiaojuan replied quickly:

"Almost there, wait a little longer."

Du Xiaojuan's brow furrowed slightly.

From Wang Dashan's message, she could sense his impatience and his dissatisfaction with her.

So she hurriedly sent another WeChat message to explain:

"The mountain highway from town to your village is hard to travel, and the driver isn't familiar with the road, so he's driving slowly."

"Oh oh." Wang Dashan replied with two words.

The two of them said nothing more.

Du Xiaojuan put down her mobile phone and couldn't help but sigh.

Meanwhile, the driver in the driver's seat started chattering again:

"Little girl, you're taking a car alone to this mountain pass so late at night; it's lucky you ran into me. If you'd run into another bad driver, who knows—he might stop somewhere halfway and rob you of all your money and valuables, and might even defile you. After all, you're so beautiful that it's hard for bad men not to have improper thoughts."

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan could only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The driver said again:

"Speaking of which, your boyfriend is really something. Can't he come back a little later? It's just wasting one bus ticket. Doesn't he consider your safety at all? Isn't he too careless!"

Hearing these words, Du Xiaojuan felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Yes, Wang Dashan, for a bus ticket of over forty yuan, actually hadn't thought of waiting for her and going back together from beginning to end, but kept blaming her for not coming back with him in advance.

That is to say, Wang Dashan had never considered the problem from her perspective from beginning to end.

This was her first time coming to Wang Dashan's home, and Wang Dashan actually treated her like this.

He actually made her take the car alone, and actually didn't consider her safety at all!

"Heh, I don't know whether to say I'm brave or foolish..."

Du Xiaojuan smiled self-mockingly in her heart.

Then she hurriedly suppressed the wild thoughts in her mind, fearing that the more she thought about it, the more she would feel it wasn't worth it.

The taxi drove slowly along the pitch-black country road, and according to the mobile phone map navigation, it finally arrived at the village entrance of Shanggou Village with great difficulty.

The vehicle gradually stopped.

Du Xiaojuan got off the car.

She saw Wang Dashan walking over quickly.

"Why are you so late? I told you early on to come back with me, but you insisted on coming later because of some meeting, so now it's late at night before you arrive..."

As soon as Wang Dashan saw Du Xiaojuan, he couldn't help but chatter and blame her.

Tonight Uncle's family was coming to the house to eat New Year's Eve dinner together. He felt Du Xiaojuan coming so late made everyone wait for her alone, which was very rude to them, so he had some resentment.

Du Xiaojuan was also very unhappy with Wang Dashan's attitude of complaining as soon as they met.

But she didn't say anything immediately.

Instead, she paid the driver the bus fare, took all the luggage items out of the trunk, and after the driver drove away, she then opened her mouth and said:

"Wang Dashan, you insist on arguing with me, right? Fine, fine, fine. If we're going to argue, let's argue enough right here at the village entrance. Let me sort things out with you properly—whether it's my fault or yours—so that when we get to your house later, we won't argue in front of your family and make you lose even more face!"

Du Xiulan was also holding back a burst of anger in her heart.

She had never been a woman who gave in without principle; she had her own principles and bottom line.

If she were a woman who only knew how to compromise unconditionally, she could never have achieved her current success in the business world.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan's attitude, Wang Dashan was immediately a bit dumbfounded.

"I'm not trying to argue with you. I just feel that since we could have come back together, why did you insist on coming back a little later?"

Wang Dashan's tone was no longer so aggressive. He actually knew that he hadn't controlled his emotions well.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"You're right. Since we could have come back together, why couldn't you come back a little later? Just to save the money for two bus tickets? Do you know how dangerous it is for a woman like me to take a car alone to this mountain pass? Especially now, so late at night—if we were robbed of money and sex halfway, how serious would the consequences be!"

Wang Dashan was speechless for a moment and could not refute.

Yes, he actually could have come back a little later.

Waiting for Du Xiaojuan and coming back with her would have been the right thing to do.

But his head couldn't turn the corner.

He actually hadn't thought of this point from beginning to end.

He just stubbornly believed that since he had bought the bus ticket, he had to take the car on time.

Additionally, he still kept thinking about it, urging himself to return to his hometown quickly, so the three brothers could go play basketball together.

As for what kind of situation Du Xiaojuan would encounter, he indeed had not put himself in her shoes to think it through carefully.

Can only say, bottom line is still not loving enough.

So many things would be placed ahead of Du Xiaojuan.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore, I admit it was my fault, okay? The rice and dishes are ready at home, let's hurry inside and eat!"

Wang Dashan couldn't out-argue Du Xiaojuan, and in the end could only hurriedly admit his mistake.

Then he took the initiative to help carry the luggage Du Xiaojuan had brought.

Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but feel sad and wipe away tears, letting out low sobs.

Seeing this, Wang Dashan was immediately surprised and flustered:

"What's wrong now? I already admitted my mistake, is that still not enough?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a bit wronged..." Du Xiaojuan was far more than just a bit wronged; she not only felt wronged, but also felt very sad.

"Stop crying, your face is all messed up from crying. When we get to my home later, how will you see people? Others will think I'm bullying you."

Wang Dashan hurriedly comforted her.

But these comforting words of his were all considered from his own perspective.

Du Xiaojuan is so clever, how could she not see the clues in this?

So although she stopped crying, she became even sadder.

"Okay, okay, I won't cry anymore, let's enter the village."

Du Xiaojuan wiped dry the tears on her face, stopping her crying.

No matter what happens, it all has to wait until we return to Guangzhou to discuss.

Now that she has come to Wang Dashan's home as a guest, she absolutely cannot lose her temper; doing so would not only make her lose face, make her look like a shrew, but also cannot solve any problem.

Du Xiaojuan is a clever merchant; her mind is calmer than ordinary people's, knowing what is favorable to herself and what is detrimental.

So she quickly adjusted her emotions and walked into Shanggou Village together with Wang Dashan.
