Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wu Banxian suddenly said such a sentence, causing both Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan to look surprised.

"Master, why did you suddenly lower the price?"

Li Xiulan hurriedly asked.

Wu Banxian took the initiative to lower the price, but she instead felt somewhat worried.

Because she feared Wu Banxian would hold back and not use all his skills.

Wu Banxian then said:

"I just calculated a hexagram for myself. Charging two thousand eight is a good thing for you, but a great taboo for me. Charging one thousand eight is good for you and good for me—a perfect solution. I cannot risk my own fortune just to collect that extra thousand yuan."

Wu Banxian explained in a well-organized, logical manner.

Wang Zhanggen quickly said:

"Is that so? That's wonderful. The thousand yuan we saved is enough for our couple's food expenses for one or two months."

Not much money is spent in the rural area.

One thousand yuan lasting two months is nothing surprising.

Being frugal could even make it last three months.

After all, much of the rice and dishes they usually eat are self-sufficient.

Upon hearing Wang Zhanggen's words, Wu Banxian became even more convinced of his guess.

This elderly couple indeed had no money.

There was truly no need to charge them so much.

Otherwise, it might actually shorten their lives.

He said with a smile:

"One thousand yuan is not a small amount for you either. We can spend less if we can; I'm also thinking of you."

Li Xiulan hurriedly thanked him:

"Thank you, Master, for thinking so much for us."

The public bus arrived outside the County City Bus Station.

Wang Zhanggen, Li Xiulan, and Wu Banxian got off the bus together, then entered the station and bought three bus tickets to Guangzhou Tianhe Bus Station.

At that time, Didi carpooling was not yet so popular; it was the most prosperous period for long-distance buses. From this small county town to Guangzhou Tianhe Bus Station, a bus departed in less than half an hour.

With such frequent departures, tickets for every bus still sold quite well.

Because people in the small county town who had no private cars found that taking a long-distance bus to Guangzhou was almost the only choice.

The three bought tickets for a bus departing at nine-thirty. It was now around nine-ten. They waited in the waiting hall for a while, then heard the announcement for ticket checking and boarding.

They lined up at the designated ticket gate, and soon after, they checked in and entered.

They boarded the long-distance bus, found seats, and then set off.

Inside the long-distance bus was a foul, indescribable strange smell.

As soon as Li Xiulan got on the bus, she smelled it and felt a bit dizzy.

She was not used to riding long-distance buses, so feeling this way was normal.

This made her somewhat nervous, because she feared she would get carsick and vomit midway.

Fortunately, the journey was fairly smooth with no traffic jams. Since the bus moved steadily, her carsickness would be much lighter.

She held on until Tianhe Bus Station. After getting off the bus, Li Xiulan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Zhanggen called Wang Dashan and asked him to drive over to pick up the three of them.

"What? You brought a Feng Shui Master too?"

When Wang Dashan heard Wang Zhanggen say he had also brought a Feng Shui Master to help look at the house's Feng Shui, Wang Dashan was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

It was not that he didn't allow them to bring a Feng Shui Master, but they should have given advance notice so he could receive the guest properly.

However, Wang Dashan didn't say anything. After all, the two elders were just like that—doing things without any planning and not understanding the ins and outs of human relations.

In their view, human relations were nothing more than stuffing a few red envelopes and treating someone to a meal.

"What? You're not willing? We kindly brought someone to help you look at Feng Shui, and what kind of attitude is this?"

Wang Zhanggen detected Wang Dashan's displeasure and immediately scolded and lectured him.

"I'm not unwilling. Wait for me at the station; I'll be there soon."

Wang Dashan didn't want to argue with Wang Zhanggen. The people had already been brought, so what could he say?

He could only go receive them.

After hanging up Wang Zhanggen's call, Wang Dashan told Du Xiaojuan that his parents had also brought a Feng Shui Master.

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan also frowned:

"Why didn't your parents say something in advance?"

Wang Dashan smiled helplessly:

"That's just how they do things. They decide on a whim, and we can't change their habits..." Saying this, Wang Dashan comforted her: "Xiao Juan, don't worry about this small matter. In two days, I'll send them back to their hometown."

Although Du Xiaojuan was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything more.

Because even if she had opinions now, it couldn't change anything.

Could she really make Wang Dashan's parents go back home just because of her own little emotions?

Everything must take the overall situation as the priority.

So she said:

"You go pick them up; I'll stir-fry a few dishes to welcome them."

Wang Dashan saw Du Xiaojuan say nothing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just afraid Du Xiaojuan wouldn't be willing.

Since Du Xiaojuan said nothing, this matter was easy to handle.

"Fine, I'll go right now!"

Wang Dashan immediately drove to Tianhe Bus Station; after a drive of ten-odd minutes, he arrived at the exit of Tianhe Bus Station.

He picked up Wang Changgen, Li Xiulan, and Wu Banxian here, then immediately turned around to head home.

On the way, Wu Banxian said with a smile:

"Your son, I can tell at a glance he's extraordinary; buying a house at such a young age, he'll definitely be promising in the future!"

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan heard this and were both overjoyed.

Wu Banxian then asked Wang Dashan:

"Young man, where's the house you bought?"

"Just up ahead, not far; we'll be there soon."

"City center, nice! This place is worth its weight in gold; I hear house prices are outrageously high!"

Wang Dashan smiled politely:

"Indeed quite expensive."

"Is it over one hundred square meters?"

Wang Dashan smiled, but before he could answer, Wu Banxian said again:

"It's normal if it's not over one hundred square meters; this isn't like our small county town. In our small county town, anything under one hundred square meters isn't even called a house. In this big city, being able to buy a small unit of sixty or seventy square meters is already pretty good."

What Wu Banxian said was the truth.

In this first-tier city where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, how many people struggle all their lives and still can't afford a small unit?

So if one can buy a small unit before thirty, that indeed counts as surpassing most ordinary people.

"Indeed, Guangzhou's house prices are too expensive." Wang Dashan politely agreed, then added: "But it's still acceptable, not as outrageously expensive as Shenzhen."

Wu Banxian then turned to Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan and said:

"The feng shui of a big city is different from that of a rural area. Big cities don't care about orientation; even if it's south-facing, it actually doesn't matter."

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan heard this and both breathed a sigh of relief:

"Oh, oh, is that so?"

Wu Banxian said again:

"Buying a house is a good thing; let's not be so picky. Even if the feng shui pattern is really bad, we can make a small adjustment, and in a few years sell it for a profit and earn a big sum of money. So there's no need to worry about it. People need to know how to be flexible; family harmony is the best feng shui. Young man, don't you agree?"

Wang Dashan nodded quickly:

"Yes yes yes, Master, what you say is truly reasonable!"

Wang Dashan loved hearing these words from Wu Banxian.

He was just afraid his own parents, because of feng shui issues, would mess around and cause trouble.

Now seeing Wu Banxian was so reasonable, Wang Dashan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

The master truly lived up to being a master; it's no wonder people can earn that kind of money.
