Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Dad, Mom, we're back!"

The small sedan slowly pulled up to the courtyard gate, the sound of the engine coming through.

Wang Zhanggen heard it and hurriedly stood up to go out and welcome them.

Now he was more eager than anyone to see Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai.

He had already lost enough face in this lifetime; this time, in front of He Dazhu, he absolutely could not lose face again!

He Dazhu wore a smile of someone watching a good show, and also walked out from the living room.

"Dashan, Erhai, it's good that you're back!"

Wang Zhanggen's old face was full of smiles.

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai saw this smile, but instantly felt something was off.

In the past, their old father was always unsmiling.

Seeing He Dazhu behind him made them feel even more that something was off.

Their family and He Dazhu had been on bad terms for so many years; how could He Dazhu appear at their house?

"Dad, why did Uncle Dazhu come?"

Wang Dashan couldn't help but ask a sentence, then politely greeted:

"Uncle Dazhu, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" He Dazhu responded with a hehe laugh.

Wang Zhanggen asked urgently:

"Where are the three hundred thousand? Did you bring them back?"

As soon as this question was asked, the atmosphere immediately became somewhat awkward.

"Dad, we……"

Wang Erhai wanted to speak up to explain, but couldn't get the words out.

He was very clear in his heart that if they told the truth in front of outsiders, it would definitely make Wang Zhanggen feel very ashamed.

He nudged Wang Dashan with his elbow; it was better for Wang Dashan to say this matter.

After all, it was Wang Dashan who had initially taken the initiative to call home saying he would bring back three hundred thousand, and later it was also Wang Dashan who was unwilling to sell the company and insisted on spending three hundred thousand to prolong the company's life.

Wang Dashan knew the primary responsibility for this matter lay with him, so he took a deep breath and then frankly said:

"Dad, we didn't bring back three hundred thousand."

Wang Dashan knew that once these words were spoken, it would definitely deal Wang Zhanggen a heavy blow, and even make him furious.

As expected, after hearing these words, Wang Zhanggen was immediately so angry that he shook and swayed, almost fainting!

"You…… how could you not bring back three hundred thousand? It was you who took the initiative to say you would bring money back!"

Wang Zhanggen trembled all over, breathing heavily, his lips turning purple.

Was what he cared about those three hundred thousand?

What he cared about was his face!

"Get out of here! None of you come back for the Spring Festival!"

Wang Zhanggen threw a tantrum.

He Dazhu behind him wore a look of eating melon and watching a show, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Dad, don't be like this, listen to our explanation……" Wang Erhai hurriedly stepped forward to placate Wang Zhanggen.

But Wang Zhanggen had already lost his senses, and shoved Wang Erhai away with one hand:

"Get lost, get lost quickly! I don't have these two unfilial sons! If you don't have money, don't take the initiative to tell me you'll bring money back! I didn't force you to bring money back; it was you yourselves who told me you would bring money back! And now you come back empty-handed—what kind of thing is this? Are you deliberately making fun of your old man? You unfilial sons, are you deliberately trying to make me lose face in front of outsiders!"

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly and hurriedly said:

"Dad, we're not coming back empty-handed; didn't we buy plenty of New Year goods to bring back?"

Wang Zhanggen instead turned around and took out a hoe, waving the hoe to drive Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai out:

"Get lost! I don't want to hear your explanations!"

Li Xiulan saw this and was shocked, hurriedly coming over to stop him:

"Wang Zhanggen, what nerve are you on! Dashan and Erhai finally came back once for the New Year; why are you driving them away? They are your sons!"

Wang Zhanggen instead shouted angrily:

"I don't have such unfilial sons!"

Li Xiulan cursed loudly:

"They just didn't bring money back? What's the big deal? Wait until they earn money in the future and bring it back! Is there a father like you? Two sons finally came back once, and you treat them like this—if they never come back in the future, see what you'll do!"

Wang Zhanggen said:

"Is this a matter of money? You simply don't know what I care about!"

Li Xiulan said coldly:

"How would I not know? You just care about that bit of face of yours! You've been dead-set on face and suffering your whole life!"

"Alright, alright, Xiulan, stop scolding him; no matter what he says, he's still your husband, and you still have to live your lives together." He Dazhu came over with a full smile to mediate and smooth things over.

If he hadn't tried to mediate it would have been fine, but once he did, Li Xiulan exploded.

"He Dazhu, get out of my house right now; you're not welcome here!"

Li Xiulan looked at He Dazhu with eyes full of disgust.

He Dazhu did not leave, still clinging stubbornly to his spot.

He watched the show without fear of making things worse:

"Dashan, Erhai, I say your company ran into trouble and couldn't bring three hundred thousand home, yet your father doesn't believe my words. You tell me, am I wrong?"

Wang Dashan could not speak.

Counting as tacit agreement.

Wang Erhai asked instead:

"How do you know?"

He Dazhu then candidly said:

"Your Cousin told me."

Wang Zhanggen's whole person suddenly seemed to have had his soul drawn out.

Judging by Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai's reactions, what He Dazhu said was probably all true.

He had originally hoped his two sons would bring three hundred thousand back so he could strut proudly for a while.

But he never expected that his two sons would return, only to make him lose all face in front of He Dazhu!

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, I won't say so much anymore, I'm leaving."

He Dazhu turned around and left at this moment, but just as he stepped out of the Main Gate, he turned back again:

"By the way, if you really want to build a new house, I really can lend you three hundred thousand. As long as you open your mouths and beg me, I will lend it, and you don't need to pay interest."

Saying this, He Dazhu looked toward Li Xiulan:

"Xiulan, I did many things to wrong you in the past. This time, even if it counts as my compensation to you..."

He Dazhu's attitude was very sincere, and he also said:

"When the time comes, if your old house is torn down and you have nowhere to live, you can come stay at my house. Anyway, my house sits empty, and I don't stay there for several days all year."

He Dazhu behaved very magnanimously, without a hint of pickiness.

In contrast, Wang Zhanggen was like a sharp-tongued, mean-spirited, ridiculous clown.

However, Li Xiulan knew that He Dazhu was not sincere!

This man He Dazhu was very hypocritical and very good at acting!

Previously, when Wang Zhanggen was caught and taken to Zhangmutou Shelter, Li Xiulan had nowhere to seek help, and He Dazhu "sincerely" reached out a helping hand to her. She chose to believe He Dazhu, but the final result was that He Dazhu sent Li Xiulan to Dongguan, then revealed his true face and humiliated Li Xiulan terribly! Then he left Li Xiulan alone in a strange city and drove away by himself!

Li Xiulan would never forget this matter for a lifetime!

"He Dazhu, get lost quickly! If I believe a single word of yours again, I'm a dog!"

Li Xiulan was not fooled by He Dazhu's false sincerity, and without mercy issued a Funeral Expulsion Order to He Dazhu.

He Dazhu was driven away, but was not angry; instead, he laughed gleefully.

Because his purpose had already been achieved.

Wang Zhanggen cared most about Face and dignity.

And now he had precisely made Wang Zhanggen lose all Face and dignity.

Moreover, this actually couldn't be blamed on him; it was Wang Zhanggen who actively invited him to come to Home as a guest.

He originally didn't want to deal with Wang Zhanggen at all, didn't even want to greet Wang Zhanggen upon meeting. Wang Zhanggen insisted on pulling him to Home to drink tea, and even deliberately wanted to humiliate him.

Then don't blame him for being Ruthless/Unpolite.

After He Dazhu left.

Wang Zhanggen's anger had not yet subsided.

His whole person Trembled, his Head Buzzed, and finally he plopped down onto the ground.

His face was iron-black, panting heavily.

Although he did not fall into a Coma on the spot.

But it could be seen that his body had again been made ill by anger.

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai, seeing this, couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Hurriedly went over to support him:

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
