Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai hurriedly supported Wang Zhanggen back to the Living Room to rest.

After giving Wang Zhanggen some water and medicine, his emotions gradually stabilized.

"Get lost, all of you get lost, don't come back for the Spring Festival, I don't have these unfilial children..."

Wang Zhanggen's lips trembled, still speaking angry words in a weak voice.

This time he was truly angered to the point of illness.

His two sons had made him lose all Face in front of his old romantic rival He Dazhu.

He had no need to go on living; he might as well just die.

Other people's sons added luster to their own faces, while his sons only brought him Shame!

"Dad, don't be like this, isn't this also a situation where we had no choice?" Wang Erhai explained with Funeral Politeness, "If it weren't for the Company encountering an emergency and losing a large sum of money, we really could have brought back Three Hundred Thousand."

Wang Dashan looked at his old father before him, actually Suppressing a stifled anger in his heart; he very much wanted to retort at this old man, but because the man had an illness, he feared that if he spoke too harshly, it would anger him to the point of kicking the bucket.

"Do I care about Three Hundred Thousand? I care about this old face of mine!" Wang Zhanggen fiercely slapped his own wrinkled old face twice, "Do you even know how to conduct yourselves? Before you speak, don't you consider my Face at all! I might as well go hang myself!"

After saying this, Wang Zhanggen struggled to stand up and made a scene about getting a Rope to hang himself.

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai hurriedly stopped him:

"Dad, don't be impulsive, it's all our fault, we know we were wrong!"

However, at this moment, Wang Xiaohua, who had been hiding in the Room studying, came out, still holding a Rope in his hand.

He tossed the Rope onto Wang Zhanggen:

"You want to hang yourself, right? Go, hurry up and go, dying would be cleaner."

The commotion outside the Living Room had long been heard by Wang Xiaohua.

He had been burying his head in doing worksheets, but was made anxious and irritable by the noise outside.

Unable to bear it any longer, he came out to say a few words.

Seeing the Rope Wang Xiaohua threw in front of him, Wang Zhanggen was stunned at once.

His eyes widened, unable to speak.

Wang Xiaohua unleashed a torrent of scolding at him:

"Making a racket during the Spring Festival, what are you making a racket about? Isn't it just that Eldest Brother and Second Brother didn't bring money back? They didn't intentionally not want to bring money back! They lost money in business, you don't understand them, that's fine, but you still make a scene like this! Are you fit to be a father!"

Wang Xiaohua's words were very harsh.

Wang Zhanggen immediately trembled all over, for a time feeling ashamed and having nowhere to hide.

Just now he had also been angered by He Dazhu, losing his rationality, which was why he had lost his temper at Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai.

However, his sense of Guilt only lasted a few seconds, and then he became angry from embarrassment:

"Wang Xiaohua, I am your biological father! Is there anyone who speaks to their biological father like this! Believe it or not, I'll Beat you to Death!"

He thought that as long as he roared like this, he could Deter Wang Xiaohua, and could recover the dignity and Face of being the head of the household.

However, Wang Xiaohua was not afraid of him at all, with a cold-blooded and ruthless Expression:

"With your old, weak, sick, and disabled body, can you beat me! Don't be unconvinced! Don't believe we can have a duel! In the past during Childhood you were still afraid of you, now who would be afraid of you! Go ahead and make a scene, the more you make a scene like this, see who will still see to your funeral in the future!"

Wang Zhanggen was made to tremble all over by what was said, his eyes red with bloodshot veins, but he could not Refute, because although Wang Xiaohua's words were very harsh, they were Reality and cruel.

"Xiao Hua, don't say that, after all he is your father."

Even Li Xiulan had some sympathy for Wang Zhanggen.

This old man had originally been thinking of relying on his three sons to add luster to his old face, but unfortunately his three sons were all very ungenerous with his Face.

"Precisely because he is my father, I have to scold him awake; if it were someone else's old man, I would be too lazy to waste my breath!"

Wang Xiaohua continued without stopping, facing Wang Zhanggen:

"Aren't you the one who cares most about Bad Feng Shui? During the Spring Festival you can't make a big racket at Home, otherwise it will destroy the family's Feng Shui, don't you know this common sense? The principle that family harmony brings prosperity to all things, should I, as a son, have to teach this to you, a father? Did a Cerebral Infarction damage your brain!"

Wang Zhanggen could not say a word.

Wang Xiaohua continued:

"Is your Shame the fault of Eldest Brother and Second Brother? It was you yourself who invited He Dazhu to Home to show off to him, that's why you lost this Face! If you hadn't gone around saying Eldest Brother and Second Brother would bring back Three Hundred Thousand for the Spring Festival, would you need to lose this Face? I told you long ago, even if there's a Good Thing, don't go around saying it, otherwise it will destroy Feng Shui, you just wouldn't listen, insisted on going around showing off! Let me Say, Eldest Brother and Second Brother losing money in business is all your fault; if it weren't for you destroying Feng Shui, they wouldn't have lost money!"

Wang Xiaohua's words could be said to be using Magic to defeat Magic.

He actually didn't believe in that Feng Shui stuff at all, but he knew that this old man before him, no matter what Principle you explained to him, he might let it in one ear and out the other, simply wouldn't listen, but as soon as you talked about Feng Shui with him, he would very likely believe it.

Even if the Feng Shui logic was absurd, he would choose "rather believe it exists than believe it doesn't."

That said, Feng Shui theory was not entirely without merit.

"Family harmony is the best Feng Shui for a family," this sentence is correct no matter what era it is placed in, and has its necessary underlying Logic.

People who grow up in unfortunate families often find it hard to obtain true Happiness after growing up, because they don't even quite understand what Happiness is like, let alone manage Happiness.

Children who grow up in happy families, after growing up, whether in career, or marriage, or family, can more easily achieve success.

Wang Xiaohua understood this Principle; he very much wanted to Get Rid Of his parents' influence on him, so whether toward his father or mother, he actually didn't have much affection, let alone respect and awe.

Toward his father Wang Zhanggen, hate outweighed love; toward his mother Li Xiulan, he simply felt she was very pitiful, very unfortunate.

But he didn't know that this attitude and Psychology toward his parents was also shaping his personality.

Making him appear cold-blooded, losing awe, not knowing gratitude, even resenting his Original Family.

Growing up in an unfortunate family, obeying parents would cause personality defects, rebelling against parents would still cause personality defects.

This is an almost unsolvable problem in growing up.

This is also why Wang Xiaohua would dare to directly curse at his own father.

"Alright alright, stop it all of you, it's the Spring Festival, everyone should be harmonious and happy……"

Seeing Wang Xiaohua getting more and more excited as he spoke, Li Xiulan hurried over to persuade him again.

Wang Xiaohua finally threw down one sentence:

"If you want this family's feng shui to be a bit better in the future, then shut your mouth and speak less. If you don't believe my words, you can go ask the Feng Shui Master, he'll definitely say what I say is reasonable! If I don't test well on the college entrance exam in June, that'll also be your fault for ruining our family's feng shui!"

Then he turned around and returned to his room to continue doing his practice papers.

Sitting before the shabby, simple bedside desk, Wang Xiaohua took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his emotions, and buried his head in doing his test paper.

Having grown up in this kind of environment, he had long since honed a powerful ability that other peers did not possess: no matter how upsetting the incident, he could rapidly calm his inner emotions and, with single-minded focus, do what he planned to do.

The living room fell quiet once more.

Wang Zhanggen sat dazedly on the old sofa, head down, smoking a cigarette.

"Dashan, Erhai, didn't you buy New Year's goods? They're still in the car, right? I'll go help you bring them down."

Li Xiulan did not go persuade Wang Zhanggen again, because she knew, many cruel realities needed him to digest and learn to accept on his own.

For example, the fact that three sons had grown up and were no longer under his discipline — this fact he had to accept.

"Alright alright, we'll go get the New Year's goods and come back."

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai, bringing Li Xiulan along, went outside the courtyard to fetch the New Year's goods.

"Mom, we bought you a new mobile phone."

"Buy that for me what for? This one can still be used."

"This one of yours is an old model, not smart. The newly bought one is a smartphone, can use WeChat."

"What's WeChat? What would I use that for, as long as it can make calls it's fine……"

The sound of the two sons and Li Xiulan talking came from outside the courtyard.

They seemed to have quickly walked out of the quarrel's gloom, their words carrying the joy and festivity that the Spring Festival ought to have.

Wang Zhanggen, however, still sat alone in a daze, gaunt and withered, his whole person listless and spiritless, looking prematurely aged.
