Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Don't worry, they'll only stay a few days; they can't live here long-term. Even if you let them stay long-term, they wouldn't get used to it."

Wang Dashan said.

"Then when will you bring them down?"

Du Xiaojuan asked.

Wang Dashan said:

"I'll call home tomorrow and ask when they're free."

Du Xiaojuan said:

"When they come, you'll have to receive them yourself. I'm very busy with work and probably won't have much time to keep them company."

Wang Dashan nodded and said:

"Fine, no problem."

The next morning, after seeing off Wang Erhai and Liu Meiqi, Wang Dashan called his mother Li Xiulan.

"Hello, Mom."

"Dashan, what's wrong?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just bought a house in Guangzhou with Xiaojuan. When are you free? I'll bring you over to stay for two days."

Li Xiulan was stunned upon hearing this, her face full of surprise:

"You've already moved in?"

Wang Dashan answered with a smile:

"Yes, we've moved in."

Li Xiulan couldn't help but worry and scold:

"You child, how can you be so careless? Moving into a new house requires picking an auspicious day and holding a housewarming ceremony. How can you light the stove without a housewarming?"

Wang Dashan was also stunned upon hearing this.

Although he somewhat believed in feng shui and fortune, he wasn't very clear about all the rules and customs involved.

"Mom, we bought a second-hand house, not a new one. Does it still need a housewarming?"

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"Of course it does. No matter how many hands it's passed through, to you and Xiaojuan, it's a new house!"

Wang Dashan could only give a dry laugh, trying to brush it off:

"We've already moved in, so there's no need for those ceremonies."

Li Xiulan sighed:

"I'm just afraid it will affect your careers."

Then she asked:

"Which direction does your house face?"

Wang Dashan thought for a moment:

"It seems to face south and back to north."

"Oh my, how could you buy that? Facing south and backing north is a major taboo!"

Li Xiulan slapped her thigh, feeling that Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan were just being reckless.

How can a house face south and back to north? Only a house for the dead faces south and backs north!

Seeing Li Xiulan's strong reaction, Wang Dashan quickly changed his words:

"I just misspoke. It faces north and backs south, faces north and backs south."

Actually, neither Wang Dashan nor Du Xiaojuan had paid much attention to the villa's orientation when buying it.

But it indeed wasn't facing south and backing north. In the south, who would have a house facing south and backing north?

Very few people would buy a house with that orientation.

You can disbelieve in feng shui, but you must admit the influence and status feng shui holds in the hearts of ordinary people.

And most rich people who can afford luxury mansions and villas pay even more attention to feng shui. For luxury mansions and villas whose target users are rich people, feng shui would definitely be considered during construction.

So although the villa Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan bought wasn't strictly facing north and backing south, but actually facing northwest and backing southeast, in terms of feng shui, it was absolutely fine.

Because there was a feng shui lake right outside the villa, and a park rockery behind it.

In feng shui, it was a layout of relying on mountains and being near water, gathering water to gather wealth.

"By the way, why didn't you tell us in advance when you bought the house?" Li Xiulan said, her concern mixed with reproach.

Wang Dashan said:

"Mom, you don't understand the city. Besides, the house is already bought, so let's not talk about this. Do you want me to go back to Shanggou Village tomorrow to pick you and Dad up?"

Li Xiulan said:

"No need. We can just take a car there ourselves. You making a special trip home would be too troublesome. No need for you to go to so much trouble!"

The matter was thus settled.

After hanging up on Wang Dashan, Li Xiulan turned around and told Wang Zhanggen about this.

Upon hearing that his eldest son had already bought a house in Guangzhou, Wang Zhanggen was immediately overjoyed.

"This kid has become successful, buying a house in Guangzhou so quickly!"

Li Xiulan was somewhat worried:

"I'm just afraid he's taken too big a step and won't be able to hold it."

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"That's purely unnecessary worry. Buying a house isn't doing business; once you buy the house, it's there, and you won't lose money!"

Li Xiulan said:

"They didn't even figure out the orientation of the house before buying it."

Wang Zhanggen, hearing this, couldn't help but agree with Li Xiulan's view:

"That is indeed a bit rash. Buying a house is such a big matter, yet it was decided so easily."

Li Xiulan said at this time:

"Do you think we should bring a Feng Shui Master along tomorrow to take a look?"

Wang Zhanggen thought it over carefully and felt Li Xiulan's suggestion was good:

"It's good to bring a Feng Shui Master along to take a look. If there's anything about the Feng Shui that needs adjusting, let the Feng Shui Master point it out on the spot, so we don't have to specially invite a Feng Shui Master to come fix it later."

Li Xiulan said:

"Why don't we just invite Half-Immortal Wu?"

Li Xiulan felt Half-Immortal Wu was still quite accurate. When the ancestral grave was dug up before, it was he who calculated that Zhou Aidi was the real culprit, and calculated that Zhou Aidi would come to apologize and admit her mistake on her own initiative.

Wang Zhanggen also trusted Half-Immortal Wu quite a bit, so the two immediately agreed:

"Alright, let's invite Half-Immortal Wu. We'll go find him today! And let him take a look at the house Feng Shui around our Shanggou Village. Damn it, in our lifetime, we've already built so many ghost buildings. It's really damn strange!"

Ever since Zhou Aidi hanged herself in his new house, he felt more and more that there was a problem with the house Feng Shui.

Counting this time, the house he and Li Xiulan built in Shanggou Village has already been a ghost building three times!

Every time they built a house, all sorts of mishaps would happen.

Just as if there was an invisible force obstructing them from building a house.

Sometimes, things are just this mysterious.

You can't not believe it!

"Alright, alright, we'll set out in a bit, invite Half-Immortal Wu to our home. Today let him look at our house Feng Shui, and let him stay the night here. Tomorrow early morning we'll go to Guangzhou together."

After the old couple discussed this matter, finished breakfast, and fed the chickens, ducks, dogs, and other livestock, Wang Zhanggen rode the motorcycle, carrying Li Xiulan, to the Neighboring Town to find Half-Immortal Wu.

After Half-Immortal Wu learned of Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan's purpose, he pinched his fingers to calculate, furrowed his brow:

"You really shouldn't say this, but your house site probably does have some problem. However, as for what specific problem it is, I dare not assert it. I have to go to the site myself to take a look before I can give a conclusion."

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly said:

"Half-Immortal, we were just planning to invite you to go to the site and take a look!"

Half-Immortal Wu tactfully said:

"If I go to the site to take a look, that will cost quite a bit of money."

Li Xiulan hurriedly asked:

"Master, how much money do you want?"

Half-Immortal Wu glanced at the old couple Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan. Seeing they wore shabby clothes, he thought they probably didn't have much money, so he quoted a price that was neither high nor low:

"Looking at a house on site, one thousand eight per time."

Li Xiulan hurriedly nodded:

"Fine, fine, no problem. Then please, Half-Immortal, come with us now!"

Half-Immortal Wu saw Li Xiulan agree so readily and immediately felt regret in his heart.

If he had known, he would have quoted a higher price.

He thought Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen would haggle over the price.

Half-Immortal Wu calculated so accurately, yet unexpectedly there were still times when he miscalculated.
