Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Returned after worshipping the gods.

Wang Xiaohua took the initiative to propose to Wang Zhanggen that they go ask the gods:

"You'd best go ask Wu Banxian tomorrow why my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law have wealth but no children, and stop blaming Eldest Sister-in-law all the time."

Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face:

"Do I need you to remind me? Even if you don't say anything, I'll go find Wu Banxian myself tomorrow!"

Wang Xiaohua laughed it off:

"That's for the best."

Then he added:

"I still have some business to take care of, and I'll be back in the evening. Second Brother, give me a ride to County Town."

Wang Erhai was already planning to return to County Town, so he readily said:

"Sure, no problem!"

But Wang Zhanggen was not pleased:

"It's the First Day of the Lunar New Year—where do you want to go? Can't you just stay home properly!"

Wang Xiaohua said with a smile:

"I'm going to find you a daughter-in-law. You don't want that? If you don't, then don't blame me for staying single forever!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen was stunned, feeling both surprised and secretly pleased, but he still put him down with his words:

"With your ghostly looks, which girl could ever fancy you? You'd better just study your books properly!"

Those words were harsh and grating.

Anyone else would probably have been hurt by now.

But Wang Xiaohua was already immune to this and completely disregarded his words.

He simply couldn't understand why so many rural old men like his own father shared a common trait: using only suppressive education toward their children.

Whether in daily life or in studies, they never praised their children, nor gave rewards; no matter how well or poorly you did, the only thing you could get from such a father was suppression and denial.

They seemed never to have considered what kind of person a child raised this way would become.

That deep-seated inferiority, timidity, sensitivity, and introversion were largely formed in such an environment.

They would righteously say everything was for your own good, but seemed only concerned with controlling the child, gaining immediate benefits, and preserving their self-centered status in the family—apart from that, they had no other purpose.

"Don't worry, even if I really am like a ghost, I'll still be a thousand, ten thousand times stronger than you!"

Wang Xiaohua directly retorted with that sentence.

Then he and his Second Brother left.

Wang Erhai drove Wang Xiaohua out of the Village Entrance of Shangou Village.

But Wang Xiaohua said to Wang Erhai:

"Second Brother, turn the car around, let's go to Neighboring Town."

Wang Erhai was stunned:

"Wasn't it County Town? Why did you change your mind? What are you going to Neighboring Town for?"

"To find Wu Banxian."

"What are you going to find Wu Banxian for?"

"Just give me a ride, don't ask so many questions."

Wang Xiaohua was thinking about how, once he saw Wu Banxian, he could get Wu Banxian under his control.

He had imagined many scenarios.

So he had no energy to explain so much to Wang Erhai.

Although Wang Erhai was puzzled, he still did as told.

He turned the car around and then headed to Neighboring Town.

After a drive of only twenty-odd minutes, they arrived at Wu Banxian's House.

Seeing Wang Xiaohua and Wang Erhai visiting, Wu Banxian thought customers had arrived and warmly greeted them:

"Do you have something urgent to ask me? I generally don't receive customers during the New Year, but since you've come, I won't let you make a White Trip for nothing. However, let me make this clear first: the fee will be higher than usual."

"Wu Banxian truly has divine calculations—you figured out we have urgent business right away."

Wang Xiaohua did not directly expose Wu Banxian's routine, but instead went along with his line of thought and said a word of praise.

He also politely asked:

"May I ask, Wu Banxian, how much do you charge for one divination?"

"At least three hundred normally, and since it's the First Day of the Lunar New Year, no less than six hundred!"

Wang Xiaohua readily agreed:

"That's not expensive. Let me pay first."

Wang Xiaohua handed Wu Banxian six hundred yuan,

but Wu Banxian refused:

"Divine first, then collect payment—no divination without payment, those are the rules."

Wang Xiaohua laughed: "Looks like you, Wu Banxian, really do stick to the rules of the Jianghu."

Wu Banxian said with a face full of pride: "I'm not a charlatan who sees money and opens his eyes; I have real skill, I make my living by real skill, and naturally I will abide by the rules of the Jianghu."

"Wu Banxian is so virtuous, this junior admires you!"

Wang Xiaohua bowed to Wu Banxian.

Wu Banxian felt strange, and didn't know what medicine Wang Xiaohua was selling in this gourd.

"No need for many courtesies, just say it, what do you want me to divine?"

Wang Xiaohua suddenly asked back in one sentence:

"Wu Banxian, you can't even divine what I've come to divine? Then your divination technique, does it need improvement?"

Wu Banxian was stunned, he reacted quickly, and sized up Wang Xiaohua from top to bottom several times.

Feeling he looked a bit familiar, but seemingly had never met him.

Looking again at Wang Xiaohua's height, his appearance, quite having a few points of strange and odd flavor.

And those who generally make a living by telling fortunes while wandering the Jianghu, most people will have strange physiognomies.

So his first reaction was:

"If I haven't divined wrong, you all come with ill intent, coming to sabotage the stage on the First Day of the Lunar New Year, isn't that a bit not in line with Jianghu rules?"

Wu Banxian didn't dare to directly say the person opposite was a peer, because if he put the words to death, if it turned out not to be, then there would be no room for maneuver.

And if he didn't put the words to death, even if it wasn't a peer, there would still be room for explanation.

So he only said sabotage the stage, didn't say peer.

Anyway, Wang Xiaohua's posture, coming to pick trouble was definitely correct.

Normal people coming to ask for divination, absolutely impossible to open their mouth and make things difficult for him Wu Banxian like this.

Normal people coming to divine, will only respect him Wu Banxian endlessly, curry favor with him Wu Banxian.

"Wu Banxian, you've divined wrong again, we're not here to sabotage the stage, we're here to discuss a business deal with you."

Wang Xiaohua at this time pretended to shake his head and sigh:

"Wu Banxian, you really need to go improve your technique properly."

Wu Banxian was made angry by Wang Xiaohua like this, immediately angry to no end, immediately issued a Funeral Expulsion Order:

"You go, you kid don't respect me, this business, I won't do it either!"

Wang Xiaohua at this time however came out with a sentence:

"If I leave, Wu Banxian you must not regret, you not doing this deal with me, then you will have a Prison Sentence, could it be you haven't divined your own recent Fortune?"

Wu Banxian was stunned again.

He saw Wang Xiaohua put the words so calmly and composedly, couldn't help but be scared by Wang Xiaohua.

Let alone Wu Banxian, actually even Wang Erhai following behind Wang Xiaohua, at this time was also stunned and stunned.

He really didn't expect, Wang Xiaohua actually dared to say such disrespectful words to Wu Banxian.

Wu Banxian although didn't know where Wang Xiaohua came from, but knew he had met a tough opponent, so hurriedly invited Wang Xiaohua to take the upper seat, and personally brewed a cup of hot tea for Wang Xiaohua.

Then politely asked:

"Little sir, now we open the window and speak plain words, I admit my level is limited, but I really can't figure out, where did I provoke you!"

Wang Xiaohua at this time opened his Mobile Phone, took out the Photo he took last night with his Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law, as well as Xiao Xueqing, to show Wu Banxian.

"You look at this Photo, if after looking you still don't know what's going on, then I advise you to stop doing this line of work in the future."

Wu Banxian took a look at the Photo, seeing Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan, immediately was stunned.

Only then understood what was going on.
