Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Until the time for dinner in the evening, Wang Changgen had not spoken a single sentence again.

To be exact, he hadn't uttered a single word again.

He just suppressed himself like this.

Li Xiulan initially felt that letting him digest it on his own would make it better, and she didn't pay any attention to it.

Busy working all day.

With the Spring Festival approaching, there was even more work; she was too busy to keep up.

Wang Changgen had never helped with housework.

Fortunately, Eldest Brother and Second Brother had returned; they could share some of the burden.

Youngest Brother would also take the initiative to come out and help after finishing his homework.

Only Wang Changgen never helped, and he even felt it was only natural.

But Li Xiulan had long since seen strange things as not strange; she couldn't be bothered to say anything to him.

After finishing dinner, when it was time to sleep, Wang Changgen still had a black face, not uttering a word.

Only then did Li Xiulan realize the matter was a bit serious.

The doctor said Wang Changgen's biggest taboo was getting sulky.

Because whether it was his cerebral infarction or his thyroid problem, they were actually all caused by getting sulky.

Additionally, during the pre-surgery physical examination for his thyroid surgery before, he was found to have Hepatitis B Small Three Yang; the liver disease issue also meant he couldn't get angry, as anger injures the liver.

So ever since he had the thyroid surgery, Li Xiulan had always given in to Wang Changgen and hadn't quarreled with him again.

His health condition was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But who could have expected that, right at the New Year, because the two sons didn't bring money back, he had a huge quarrel, and after the quarrel he stayed sulky for a whole day.

Just afraid he'd sulk himself into some mishap.

"Don't get sulky anymore; the doctor said getting sulky will cause your condition to worsen."

Li Xiulan came to the bedside and said this one sentence to Wang Changgen.

Wang Changgen lay on his side, back facing her, still not speaking.

"If you really get angry to the point of a relapse, then next year we won't be able to build the new building; at that time, you'll really become a huge laughingstock in all of Mountain Gully Village, and that would be the truly shameful thing."

Hearing this, Wang Changgen also felt it was reasonable.

Ten-odd years ago, their family's building was half-built and then abandoned, which made him a laughingstock to the whole village once.

If they build a new house now and it gets abandoned again, they'd really be laughed at by everyone.

"Build a hammer of a new house; those two calves didn't bring money back, we don't have enough money to build!"

Wang Changgen, who had been sulky for a whole day, finally spoke.

Although his tone was very bad, it was still better than not speaking.

"If there's no money, let's not build so many floors; building one floor is fine."

Li Xiulan said this.

"That would still be the same as being suppressed by He Dazhu; what meaning would there be in building this new house? If we build, we must definitely build it higher than He Dazhu by a head!"

Wang Changgen said this; his tone was very firm.

"Then let's start building first, get the shell structure up first; wait until next year when Dashan and Erhai earn money, then do the renovation. Anyway, the shell structure also takes quite a lot of time."

Li Xiulan also felt they had to surpass He Dazhu.

He Dazhu's attitude today was truly too hateful.

She had also been suppressed by He Dazhu for a lifetime; she actually also wanted to fiercely surpass He Dazhu.

"What if the shell is built, but those two calves don't bring the money back? What to do then?" Wang Changgen asked coldly.

But Li Xiulan was very confident in the two sons:

"They won't; since they could earn three hundred thousand this year, next year they'll definitely be able to earn three hundred thousand, or even more!"

Wang Changgen sneered:

"Hehe, just afraid that even if they earn it, they won't be willing to bring it back to build the house!"

Li Xiulan pushed him once:

"What are you thinking? Are Dashan and Erhai that kind of people?"

But Wang Changgen said:

"Then you go talk to them, have them guarantee to bring three hundred thousand back before winter next year! Best to have them write a guarantee letter; otherwise I won't be at ease!"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Tomorrow I'll talk to them; as for a guarantee letter or whatever, forget it; they're our own flesh and blood, why need that stuff!"

The next morning, Li Xiulan got up very early.

Today is New Year's Eve.

The sky had just turned dawn; Li Xiulan carried two roosters on a shoulder pole to worship the gods; after worshiping, she cooked breakfast, and the time was only seven o'clock in the morning.

During breakfast, Li Xiulan said to Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai:

"Dashan, Erhai, we plan to build the new house after the New Year."

Wang Dashan was surprised:

"Mom, we didn't bring money back, can we still build a new house?"

Li Xiulan said:

"We can build it, doing the shell is completely no problem, your dad and I have done mud/plaster work for so many years, we've also saved some money, as long as next year winter you all bring the renovation money back it'll be fine."

"How much money for renovation?" Wang Erhai asked.

Li Xiulan said:

"Hard to say, when the time comes however much you earn bring that much back, ten to twenty thousand is definitely needed, if you can bring three hundred thousand or more back, that couldn't be better."

Wang Erhai hesitated somewhat, currently Shanhai Real Estate's condition isn't too good, he really doesn't dare guarantee he can earn money before next year winter, so he weakly said:

"Mom, we're afraid..."

However, before he could finish his words.

Wang Dashan interrupted his speech.

"Mom, you rest assured, next year Winter Solstice, we definitely will bring three hundred thousand back!"

Wang Dashan was full of confidence, tone very firm.

He and Wang Erhai are not the same.

He is very optimistic about the future.

He feels he has already formulated the company's management strategy, just need to wait until after New Year go back to attendance, earnestly implement the strategy, shift focus from new properties to second-hand properties, then Shanhai Real Estate definitely can revive from death.

At that time, earning two to three hundred thousand, definitely will be light and relaxed.

Additionally, by next year Winter Solstice, Xu Mingxin owes him that two hundred thousand, probably already paid back.

Even if he earns no money, just need to bring that two hundred thousand back to give home, that also counts as having an account/explanation.

This is equivalent to double insurance.

So he only then dares to be so confident, so decisive.

"Big brother, we just lost a big sum of money, you're sure before next year Winter Solstice can really earn this much?" Wang Erhai frowned, he doesn't dare agree with Wang Dashan's view, also said: "If at that time can't produce it, will again cause unpleasantness..."

Wang Erhai's gaze dimly glanced at Wang Zhanggen once, although yesterday old father flew into a rage telling them to get lost, a bit excessive, but actually they brothers two also have irrevocable responsibility, it was they who broke promise and got fat first, if they as agreed brought three hundred thousand back, then all the later unpleasantness, also wouldn't have happened.

"You all must not lightly promise, if you promise, next year Winter Solstice can't produce money, then at that time I really will make you all get lost, I will sever father-son relationship with you all!"

Wang Zhanggen pulling a face, displeasedly said so.

Wang Dashan still full of confidence:

"Rest assured, now distance Winter Solstice still that long, at that time definitely can bring several hundred thousand back!"

To the side not very much speaking Wang Xiaohua, this time couldn't help but came a sentence:

"If really have that money, better to buy a house outside."
