Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Dinner was a plate of burnt vegetables.

Li Xiulan ate with a mouthful of charred taste, resentment brewing in her heart.

How can this man be so hopeless?

Asked him to help stir-fry a few times, and he actually burnt the dish.

Truly incapable of doing anything right, only making things worse!

"You put too little salt this time, put a bit more next time."

Wang Zhanggen ate the dish, not mentioning it was burnt, but instead saying the salt was too little.

"The oil was also a bit little, dry and bland, and, how many times have I told you, before stir-frying this lettuce, it's best to blanch it first, otherwise it'll have a smelly feet odor, you just won't listen!"

Li Xiulan flared up at once, slamming her chopsticks hard onto the table:

"Do you still want to eat? Keep nagging and next time you cook for yourself!"

Li Xiulan glared at Wang Zhanggen.

Wang Zhanggen only then restrained himself a little, but still muttered in a low voice:

"What's wrong with saying a couple of things to you? Look how spoiled you are, not tasty and still not allowed to be criticized?"

Li Xiulan immediately moved to take the dishes off the table:

"Then don't eat!"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly stopped her:

"Don't, put it down quick, I won't say anything about you, that works right? I'll just make do and eat."

Wang Zhanggen knew very well in his heart, if Li Xiulan didn't cook, he'd starve to death later on.

So no matter how bad it tasted, he had to eat it.

"About notifying people for the university entrance celebration, what do you plan to do?"

Li Xiulan asked this at this moment.

"What else can we do, go notify them one by one."

Wang Zhanggen said it like that.

Li Xiulan, however, said:

"Your relatives' side, you go notify; my relatives' side, I'll go notify."

Wang Zhanggen's face was full of displeasure, but still nodded in agreement:

"Fine fine fine, I wasn't planning to have you go notify anyway."

Li Xiulan, however, sneered:

"Aren't you afraid they won't give face? Last time you notified so many, not many agreed to come!"

Wang Zhanggen, however, was very confident:

"This time is different from last time, this time Xiao Hua tested into Tsinghua, believe it or not, even if I don't invite them, they might all come on their own! Who doesn't want to bask in Tsinghua's glory!"

In the blink of an eye it was the next day, Wang Zhanggen called his relatives and friends one by one to notify them to come on the 20th for his son's university entrance celebration.

Some uninformed friends were indeed not too willing to come, but after Wang Zhanggen said the fact his son tested into Tsinghua, their attitudes immediately changed, they immediately confirmed the matter, saying they would definitely come when the time came.

Li Xiulan's side only told her two brothers, as for other relatives, she didn't contact them, after all so many years without contact, suddenly contacting them to come attend would feel abrupt.

Even if others were willing to come, she still felt embarrassed.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, the 20th is my youngest son's university entrance celebration, you must come then, my youngest son tested into Tsinghua!"

To notify her two brothers, she even took advantage of the market day, specially making a trip to the neighboring town to say it face to face.

Because she felt, notifying by phone wasn't respectful enough, saying it face to face was respectful enough.

"Xiao Hua actually tested into Tsinghua, really or fake?" Big Brother Li Yaozu heard this news, very surprised, even hard to believe, "Your family's Xiao Hua wouldn't be lying to you, right, how can Tsinghua be that easy to test into?"

Li Yaozu even suspected Wang Xiaohua lied to his parents, and was also not too willing to believe this fact.

After all Tsinghua is indeed very hard to test into, not something you can just test into because you want to.

"It's true, the County Government's Leader even personally came over, gave us a scholarship!" Li Xiulan's face wore a simple smile.

With her saying this, Big Brother Li Yaozu only then believed this fact.

And Second Brother Li Jiahao had a face full of envy:

"Sister, your son can count as promising, unlike my son, can't even get into high school, can only go work in a factory. Later when Xiao Hua graduates from university, you'll have blessings to enjoy!"

Li Xiulan's face full of simple smile:

"Hope so, suffered half a lifetime, just waiting for that day."

Li Yaozu then said:

"When Xiao Hua finishes studying and comes out, becomes a big official, or becomes a big merchant, make sure he doesn't forget us poor relatives, must have him help out his several cousin brothers and cousin sisters."

"Definitely definitely, this for sure!" Li Xiulan nodded in agreement.

Li Jiahao said:

"On the 20th I'll bring the whole family over, Sister what do you think?"

Li Xiulan busily said:

"That's good!"

Then she said to Li Yaozu:

"Big Brother, bring the whole family along too!"

Li Yaozu said:

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely bring the whole family when the time comes. My son is still working in Guangzhou, but that's no problem. I'll call him in a bit and have him take a day off to come back!"

Li Xiulan's face was full of smiles:

"Then it's settled. I also wanted to go find the Shenpo to fulfill a vow, to thank the immortals for their protection, for letting my Xiao Hua test into such good grades!"

Li Jiahao, however, said:

"Sister, the Shenpo passed away not long ago."

"Passed away?" Li Xiulan was stunned.

"Yes, passed away. Heard she died of lung cancer." Li Yaozu spoke thus.

Li Xiulan's face was full of surprise.

Only now did she recall that the last time she went to ask a god, the Shenpo's son had even driven out all of them visiting customers, and even loudly proclaimed that his mother was a deceptive trick.

At that time her inner heart received no small shock; she never expected she would forget this matter so completely so fast, and still thought of going to find the Shenpo to ask again.

Looks like she really is old; her memory has become much worse than before.

Li Xiulan felt regret for the Shenpo's passing; at the same time, she subconsciously asked a question:

"The Shenpo has passed away; then in the future, to ask a god, who should I go find?"

Even though the Shenpo's son had previously exposed the Shenpo's deceptive behavior, Li Xiulan still chose to believe that there are immortals in this world, that this world has karmic reincarnation.

The Shenpo had previously told her that the suffering she endured in this life was to repay debts from her past life.

Once she finished repaying her past life's debts, she could start enjoying blessings.

Now her Eldest Brother and Second Brother worked smoothly outside, and her Youngest Brother had tested into Tsinghua University; she felt that she should have already finished repaying her past life's debts, that she would finally start enjoying blessings.

The Shenpo didn't deceive her; the Shenpo's words were very accurate.

Li Yaozu said:

"There's a Wu Banxian in Xicun; heard he's also quite spiritually efficacious. You can go take a look there."

Li Xiulan nodded:

"Then okay, then I'll go to Xicun to take a look."

Li Xiulan bid farewell to her two brothers, made a trip to Xicun, and found that Wu Banxian.

Wu Banxian was a rotten old man in his sixties.

The moment he opened his mouth, he said to Li Xiulan:

"Young woman, looking at your Yintang Hei, I'm afraid you'll have a Blood Light Disaster recently!"

Li Xiulan was immediately surprised:

"How could there be a Blood Light Disaster? I'm about to hold a University Entrance Celebration for my Youngest Brother! This is a great happy event! My son tested into Tsinghua University!"

Wu Banxian asked:

"What day are you holding the University Entrance Celebration for your son?"

"The 20th."

"The problem lies in this 20th day; this day was chosen poorly!"

Wu Banxian spoke thus.

Li Xiulan became somewhat nervous.
