Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wu Banxian said this, and Wang Dashan's heart thumped.

His expression involuntarily turned grave.

"Master, you can't joke about this matter."

Wang Dashan said so.

Wu Banxian said:

"The hexagram is indeed like this; I have no need to lie to you. If I really wanted to lie, I'd say something more pleasant to hear, wouldn't that make you like me more?"

Wu Banxian's words were not false; he did not lie.

The hexagram was indeed like this.

Don't look at him as half-baked, but he still has some skill in divination and interpreting hexagrams.

Hearing this, Wang Dashan's expression grew even graver.

Wu Banxian then said:

"I see you're so young, so sunny and healthy; it probably isn't your problem. I suggest you bring your wife to the hospital for a checkup when you have time."

Wang Dashan politely replied:

"Okay, okay, thank you for the reminder, Master."

At this time, Du Xiaojuan downstairs called them down to eat.

Wang Dashan and Wu Banxian went downstairs to the first floor, and Du Xiaojuan asked with a smile:

"Master, how does it look? Is the feng shui of our house okay?"

Wu Banxian replied with a laugh:

"The feng shui of this house is very good!"

Du Xiaojuan said with a smile:

"This isn't exactly facing north-south, but slightly tilted toward the southeast. Is such an orientation okay?"

Wu Banxian said:

"For living people to live in, it can't be too rigid. A slight deviation actually fits the breath of the living. The sun rises in the east; if the house is slightly tilted toward the southeast, it can absorb more yang qi and gather more feng shui."

Du Xiaojuan looked suddenly enlightened and nodded:

"Oh, I see! I don't really understand these things!"

Wu Banxian then said:

"You were very lucky this time. The villa you bought was clearly carefully worked on by a feng shui master. Whether it's the overall orientation or the internal layout, it fits the feng shui pattern of 'gathering water to bring wealth.' If nothing unexpected happens, you should make a lot of money in the future!"

Miss Du heard this and laughed happily:

"If that's really the case, that would be great!"

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan heard these words and were also overjoyed.

These two old people had been poor their whole lives. If their eldest son could truly become rich and earn a lot of money, even in their dreams they would probably wake up laughing.

Wang Dashan beside them, however, had an expression that wasn't quite right.

"Dashan, what's wrong?"

Du Xiaojuan noticed something strange and asked.

"Nothing..."

Wang Dashan lowered his head and ate.

Du Xiaojuan continued to press:

"Are you uncomfortable somewhere? I see your complexion isn't quite right?"

Wang Dashan explained:

"Maybe when I went to pick up Mom and Dad, I drove with the window open and caught some wind. Now I'm a bit dizzy."

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Then go rest in the room after you finish eating."

"Mm."

Wang Dashan ate a few bites and then stopped.

He returned to the room and smoked gloomily.

Was the hexagram Wu Banxian calculated really accurate?

Wang Dashan's heart was still troubled.

Could it be that he and Du Xiaojuan really wouldn't have children?

To be honest, he still wanted children in his heart.

Du Xiaojuan said she didn't want to have children for now, and he respected Du Xiaojuan's thoughts.

But they definitely would have children in the future.

They couldn't possibly not have children for a lifetime, could they?

If they didn't have children for a lifetime, then what was the meaning of life? What was the use of earning so much money?

Wang Dashan's cognition was relatively traditional.

He wasn't as casual and open as those independent women in the big city, doing this DINK thing, one person eats full and the whole family isn't hungry. He felt that a family without children was definitely incomplete, and also unstable.

In the afternoon, Wu Banxian was returning to his hometown.

Wang Dashan saw Wu Banxian off at the bus station, and Du Xiaojuan went along too.

As for Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan, they were left to rest inside the villa.

Du Xiaojuan went along mainly to find a private space to talk with Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan was not deep-minded; whatever was on his mind easily showed on his face.

So he could hide nothing from Du Xiaojuan.

After seeing Wu Banxian to the bus station, the two headed back home, with only the married couple in the car.

Du Xiaojuan then spoke up:

"When you and Wu Banxian were upstairs at noon, what did Wu Banxian say to you?"

Wang Dashan hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"He didn't say anything."

He wanted to digest this matter himself.

That was just how he was, having inherited Wang Changgen's taciturn genes; many things he preferred to digest himself rather than communicate with others.

"Still saying nothing, it's all written on your face; hurry up and confess to me."

Du Xiaojuan demanded forcefully.

"Really nothing..." Wang Dashan tried to brush it off.

Because he knew this matter was truly hard to communicate to Du Xiaojuan.

Because Du Xiaojuan originally did not want children; having wealth without children was good news for Du Xiaojuan, but for Wang Dashan it was bad news like the sky falling down.

"Just tell me, I'm your wife; we need more frankness, more communication, otherwise misunderstandings will arise; as long as you tell me, I promise you one request."

"Really?"

"Really."

Wang Dashan took a deep breath, and finally confessed:

"Wu Banxian said that we have wealth without children."

Du Xiaojuan looked puzzled:

"Just this matter?"

"Mm, just this matter." Wang Dashan's expression was heavy.

"I thought it was something big; not to mention whether his divination is accurate, even if it is accurate, this isn't a big deal, right? No children means no children; life doesn't necessarily have to have children."

Du Xiaojuan's reaction was exactly as Wang Dashan had predicted; deep down she had never thought about wanting children.

"But I want children..."

Wang Dashan mustered his courage and confessed his heart: "We can have children later, but we can't not have children for a lifetime."

Du Xiaojuan said instead:

"Let nature take its course; whether we have children or not doesn't matter; if we have children, we'll raise them well; if we don't, we'll live well; there's no need to force anything."

Wang Dashan said at this time:

"Xiao Juan, didn't you just say that if I confess, you'd agree to one request of mine? Let's pick a time to go to the hospital for a fertility check, okay?"

Hearing these words, Du Xiaojuan's face showed some displeasure:

"We're not in a hurry to have children now, so why go get that check?"

"But..." Wang Dashan was about to argue, but Du Xiaojuan interrupted:

"No buts; even if we retreat ten thousand steps, when we're old later, if I really can't give birth and you really must have children, then we'll do IVF; if that really doesn't work, we'll find a surrogate; we're not short of that money."

"Surrogacy is illegal." Wang Dashan's face was full of gloom.

Du Xiaojuan said instead:

"It's already an industry chain; no need to fuss over whether it's legal; even if trouble arises, the surrogacy agency bears legal responsibility; we customers don't bear legal responsibility."

Wang Dashan listened to these words of Du Xiaojuan and felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

Yet he could not refute.

Because he knew Du Xiaojuan was right.

Rich people who want to be parents, even if infertile, have medical technology to fulfill your dream of parenthood, as long as you pay enough money.

Du Xiaojuan was now wholeheartedly focused on making money; within three to five years she probably wouldn't consider having children.

But Wang Dashan still felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

He felt that children conceived naturally were better; surrogacy and such didn't seem like one's own children; after all, neither husband nor wife had experienced ten months of pregnancy together, so something would always be missing.
