Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After finishing this meal.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan were fairly satisfied with Liu Mei Qi.

Actually, Liu Mei Qi hadn't shown much; she just ate silently, listened to them talk, didn't interrupt much, and appeared rather reserved.

Most importantly, she couldn't get a word in on the topics they were discussing.

However, Liu Mei Qi's impression of Wang Zhanggen wasn't very good.

She felt Li Xiulan's character was acceptable, but Wang Zhanggen was too much of a male chauvinist.

She was very worried that after marrying Wang Erhai in the future, she would be pressured by her husband's father Wang Zhanggen in various ways, being urged to have children.

In short, men like Wang Zhanggen really don't leave a good impression in women's eyes.

Du Xiaojuan also felt Wang Zhanggen wasn't very good, but she wouldn't say anything to Wang Dashan.

Because she had the ability to be financially independent, she felt that although Wang Zhanggen was Wang Dashan's biological father, she definitely wouldn't spend much time with him in the future, since they wouldn't live under the same roof; at most they'd visit relatives during the New Year and holidays, so she could just endure it and let it pass.

Liu Mei Qi was different; although she had some wealth, being in the County Town, she was very close to Wang Erhai's hometown, so in the future she would definitely have a lot of contact with Wang Zhanggen's parents.

So she couldn't help but feel some worry.

After dinner, Wang Erhai asked Liu Mei Qi to wash the dishes.

Liu Mei Qi was somewhat unwilling, but still agreed.

She also pulled Wang Erhai to wash the dishes together.

Then she took the opportunity to say in a low voice to Wang Erhai:

"By the way, if we get married, do we have to start preparing for pregnancy immediately?"

"Up to you." Wang Erhai's answer was very short.

Without a hint of hesitation.

Actually, he himself wasn't ready to have children yet.

What he said to Wang Zhanggen just now was just to curry favor with Wang Zhanggen, so this biological father wouldn't chatter so much in front of Liu Mei Qi, that was all.

"Then do we have to have several children in a row? I feel your dad seems to prefer boys over girls."

Liu Mei Qi said cautiously.

Wang Erhai said coldly:

"Why do you care about him? The uterus is on your body, whether to give birth is up to you to decide."

Wang Erhai's attitude made Liu Mei Qi somewhat surprised:

"No, just now didn't you promise your dad that you'd let him hold a grandson as soon as possible?"

Wang Erhai had an indifferent attitude:

"I was just saying it casually. If I say you don't want to give birth, do you believe that old thing might directly grab a broom and chase you out?"

"Then aren't you deceiving your parents?"

"Don't worry so much, okay? I'll handle everything. What's wrong with deceiving them? Don't you want to reason with them? Do you know my parents better, or do I know my parents better? Just listen to me, don't think so wildly!"

Wang Erhai said these words very forcefully.

Although Liu Mei Qi still had some worries in her heart, she finally didn't say anything:

"Okay okay, then I'll listen to you..."

She was also afraid that if she said more, Wang Erhai would get angry.

After washing the dishes and returning to the Living Room, Wang Erhai discussed the banquet arrangements with his parents.

"Erhai, our new house won't be finished by New Year's Day, where should we hold the banquet?"

The Wang Family's new house had only been built to the shell stage and was still under renovation; at this pace, it definitely wouldn't be renovated by New Year's Day.

So the marriage room was also a problem.

"Let's hold the banquet at Huangsheng; since our new building isn't finished, we'll rent a villa at Country Garden to serve as the marriage room."

Wang Erhai replied like this, and he also said:

"Dad, Mom, later you go help notify relatives and friends. Besides relatives and friends, call everyone in the whole village. Also, from the neighboring villages, call those you're more familiar with. Let's hold the wedding grandly!"

"Hold the banquet at Huangsheng, and call so many people—won't that cost a lot of money?" Li Xiulan's first reaction was about the money.

"What does spending more money matter? The most important thing is to be grand. Dad, don't you agree?"

Wang Erhai specifically asked Wang Zhanggen because he knew Wang Zhanggen cared most about Face.

He felt Wang Zhanggen would definitely agree with his view.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhanggen changed his usual attitude:

"Better not be too grand; it's better to be low-key. Our Ancestral Grave was dug up precisely because Xiao Hua got into Tsinghua University and they made too much of a show, attracting jealousy."

The matter of the Ancestral Grave being dug up dealt a huge blow to Wang Zhanggen.

He had always wanted to find the culprit who dug up his family's Ancestral Grave.

For this, he not only reported to the police but also gave Zhang Zhongtian a finder's fee to have Zhang Zhongtian help search, and even specially spent a lot of money to ask Wu Banxian.

But so far there had been no results.

When fortune telling, the answer Wu Banxian gave made him not very satisfied:

"It's already been dug up, so don't care who the culprit is anymore. Catching the culprit can't restore your family's Ancestral Grave to its original state. In my opinion, how to prevent similar things from happening in the future is what matters most."

"Half-Immortal, then how do you say we should prevent it?"

「I cast a hexagram, and the omen shows that this matter is easy if you say it's easy, and hard if you say it's hard. 」

「How so? 」

「You all just need to keep a low profile from now on to avoid repeating past mistakes, but judging by your Mingming, I'm afraid keeping a low profile won't be easy for you……」

Wang Zhanggen initially didn't quite agree with Wu Banxian's view, thinking that keeping a low profile wasn't easy? Just say nothing and do nothing, isn't that fine?

He even felt that this Wu Banxian was just half-baked, truly not as spiritually efficacious as that Shenpo from before, only a pity that Shenpo had already passed away, and now for fortune telling they could only go to Wu Banxian.

But now it seems, Wu Banxian still has some skill.

Wang Erhai actually wants to hold a banquet at Huangsheng Hotel, isn't that too high-profile!

You must know that Huangsheng Hotel is the best hotel in the entire County, without exception!

By then so many relatives and friends will attend, seeing such a high-standard banquet, how could their Wang Family still keep a low profile?

「Could it really be as Wu Banxian said, that my Mingming is destined to be high-profile, and I can't keep a low profile even if I want to? 」

Wang Zhanggen thought this in his Inner Heart.

He said to Wang Erhai at this time:

「How about you all don't go to Huangsheng, just go to Nan Hai Food Street, or just hold the banquet in Shangou Village, no need to spend too much money, your mother is right, after you get married, there are still many places to spend money! 」

Wang Zhanggen thus persuaded Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai's face was full of Inconceivable.

Feeling that this old man was too abnormal tonight.

「Dad, isn't being grand a good thing? Aren't you very concerned about Face? I'll make the banquet grander, then you'll have glory on your face! 」

But Wang Zhanggen said:

「That was when we were poor before, only then would we care about Face, now you three brothers are all making a name for yourselves, why would I still care about Face? I already have Face! 」

Wang Zhanggen also said:

「Listen to me, don't hold the banquet at Huangsheng, such high-end banquets are not suitable for us Rural People! 」

Wang Erhai gave a bitter laugh:

「But, holding a banquet at Huangsheng, the Boss of Huangsheng Hotel is willing to give us cost price, converted, it's even a bit cheaper than Nan Hai Food Street, besides, I still have business to do with the Boss of Huangsheng Hotel, if I don't hold the banquet there, wouldn't that be not giving people Face? 」

Wang Zhanggen heard these words and was speechless for a moment.

He wore a worried expression and lit a Cigarette for himself.

After Hao Hui Er, he finally sighed:

「Looks like Wu Banxian's fortune telling is truly accurate, really wanting to keep a low profile but being unable to……」
