Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Zhanggen cooked a full table of dishes with great effort, more lavish than the New Year's Eve dinner Wang Erhai had made before.

Most importantly, the taste was actually not bad.

This not only surprised Wang Dashan, Wang Erhai, and Wang Xiaohua, but even Li Xiulan was greatly surprised.

None of them had ever seen Wang Zhanggen cook, and they never expected he had this culinary skill.

What they could not understand most was that he had this culinary skill, yet usually when he had time he never took the initiative to help Li Xiulan cook.

The rice Li Xiulan cooked actually tasted just average, with no flair, just stir-fried with some oil and salt, and very little of seasonings like soy sauce and vinegar, at most adding ginger, scallion, garlic and such seasonings.

Far inferior to the dishes Wang Zhanggen made tonight.

But after so many years, Wang Zhanggen actually never went into the kitchen all this time, and he was not picky either, eating whatever Li Xiulan made.

Previously thought it was because he could not cook, now only realized he simply did not want to do it at all.

After eating a dinner at Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan's villa.

Wang Erhai then drove Wang Zhanggen, Li Xiulan, and Wang Xiaohua back to their hometown.

The conflict between Wang Zhanggen and Du Xiaojuan, under Wang Xiaohua's handling, was considered settled.

However, once the old problem was gone, a new problem came again.

After returning to Shangou Village, Li Xiulan remained depressed all the time.

"What's wrong with you?"

When sleeping at night, Wang Zhanggen asked a sentence.

Li Xiulan turned her back and said coldly:

"I am your wife, yet it's laughable that after so many years, I didn't know you actually could cook!"

Wang Zhanggen remained silent.

Li Xiulan then turned over to face Wang Zhanggen and questioned:

"Honestly tell me, when did you learn your cooking skills?"

Wang Zhanggen said sullenly:

"Why are you asking this?"

"Tell me!" Li Xiulan insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

Wang Zhanggen simply could not answer.

Was he supposed to honestly say that back then he and Liu Xiaoli went to Dongguan to work, and even lived together with Liu Xiaoli for a period of time, and it was exactly that period of cohabitation that he personally cooked for Liu Xiaoli quite a lot?

This was a secret he had buried in his heart for many years; when building the house before, Li Xiulan had questioned him about his relationship with Liu Xiaoli, and he had not said then, and now it was even more impossible to say.

"I learned it when I went out to work, cooking for myself in the rental house, which could save quite a bit of money."

Wang Zhanggen finally brushed it off with a sentence like that.

Then he quickly changed the subject:

"Go to sleep early; tomorrow early morning we'll go find Wu Banxian again, pay the divination fee, and also ask him about Xiaohua's marriage fate."

Li Xiulan also felt Wang Xiaohua's marriage fate should be asked about.

Among the three children, Wang Xiaohua studied the best, but was also the one she worried about most.

Because in her eyes, Wang Xiaohua was a child who knew nothing except studying.

Moreover, he was so short and his appearance was not outstanding, so finding a partner in the future was indeed a difficult problem.

"Fine, fine, then sleep."

Li Xiulan did not ask Wang Zhanggen about the cooking matter anymore.

Although she knew in her heart that Wang Zhanggen definitely had something hidden.

However, now at her age, she no longer had the impulse to get to the bottom of things.

This life, take it one day at a time.

Just firewood, rice, oil, salt, coarse tea and bland food, plain days.

As for so-called love and affection, there was not a bit of it at all.

Not to mention love, actually even hate, she no longer had for Wang Zhanggen.

In the blink of an eye it was the next morning.

After finishing breakfast, feeding the chickens and ducks, washing the clothes, watering the vegetable patch.

Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen then rode the motorcycle and ran to the neighboring town to visit Wu Banxian.

As for Wang Xiaohua, he did not go along, but stayed at home.

However, not long after Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen set out, he called Wu Banxian and instructed Wu Banxian what to say and what not to say.

Wu Banxian on the other side also agreed readily.

After all, this little master had great energy and was not easy to offend.

Helping him do things could not only get remuneration but also build good connections, why not?

In the blink of an eye Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan arrived at Wu Banxian's house.

As soon as they entered the door, Wu Banxian said that sentence again:

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, and long ago calculated that you would come today!"

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan were both very respectful, not daring to offend Wu Banxian in the slightest.

"Master Wu Banxian, your calculations are truly accurate!"

Wang Zhanggen gave a thumbs-up.

Wu Banxian wore a proud expression:

"That goes without saying. After all, I earn my meals through genuine skill. I not only calculated that you would come today, I also calculated that you have two things to do when you come to my place!"

"Master Wu Banxian, you even calculated what we came to do?"

Li Xiulan wore a surprised expression.

Wu Banxian said:

"First, you are here to pay the fee from last time. You used my method and have already broken the fengshui pattern of wealth without children for your Eldest Brother, so you've come to thank me, right?"

"Right, right, right!" Li Xiulan nodded quickly. "Thank you, Master Wu Banxian, for your guidance. Now my husband and my eldest daughter-in-law have reconciled."

Wu Banxian wore a profound mystery expression, nodded slowly, then said to Wang Zhanggen:

"Forcibly changing the wind and switching the water was originally an act of defying heaven. So remember this: you and your eldest daughter-in-law must always maintain this friendly and harmonious relationship. Otherwise, once this fengshui pattern breaks, it won't be as simple as wealth without children—it will directly become no wealth no children, and may even cause your Eldest Brother to suffer from sickness!"

Hearing these words, Wang Zhanggen was alarmed and quickly said:

"I remember. From now on I will definitely get along well with my eldest daughter-in-law!"

Wu Banxian nodded in satisfaction, then said:

"The second thing you came to me for is to have me calculate the marriage fate for your Youngest Brother, right?"

Wang Zhanggen quickly said:

"Right, right, right. Master Wu Banxian, you truly possess divine calculation!"

Li Xiulan was also surprised by Wu Banxian's divine calculation:

"Master Wu Banxian, you are truly a living immortal. You can calculate anything!"

Wu Banxian wore a proud and smug expression.

Yet in his heart he couldn't help but laugh: Someone called ahead to tell me all this—how could I not possess divine calculation?

"Master Wu Banxian, this is the fee for last time's fortune telling. Let me pay you first!"

Li Xiulan quickly took out money and respectfully presented it.

Wu Banxian accepted the money with a clear conscience, then closed his eyes and pretended to be profound while doing finger divination for quite a while.

Then he said to Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan:

"Rest assured. Your Youngest Brother's marriage fate is very good. You don't need to worry about it!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan both showed surprise.

"Really or fake?"

Wang Zhanggen actually found it a bit hard to believe.

Li Xiulan said instead:

"Master Wu Banxian, my Youngest Brother is very short and rather ugly. Will his marriage fate really be good?"

Wu Banxian immediately showed displeasure:

"Don't you believe what I calculated?"
