Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Li Xiulan hurriedly asked:

"What's the name of the person you're dating?"

"Li Jianjia." Wang Xiaohua answered honestly, and also said: "She's my high school classmate, and also a university student, attending Guangdong University of Foreign Studies."

Wang Xiaohua repeated once more: "Her parents are both leaders in the county, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Xiulan hurriedly nodded:

"I understand, tomorrow I will definitely treat them well."

Wang Xiaohua added a reminder:

"Tell that old man to not come tomorrow and be a troublemaker; if he dares to ruin my good thing, I won't recognize him as my father anymore."

Wang Xiaohua put his words very ruthlessly.

And this was not just a threat.

Li Jianjia concerned not only his love life, but also his career path; it could be said to be a major turning point in his life, so if Wang Changgen really ruined his good thing with Li Jianjia, he would really sever ties with Wang Changgen.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him later."

Li Xiulan hung up the phone, turned around and said to Wang Changgen:

"Xiao Hua said, tomorrow he will bring his partner back."

"What??"

Wang Changgen immediately sat up from the bed, very angry:

"He doesn't want the one I arranged, insists on messing around outside, right! Isn't Li Yuncui good enough? Is he worthy of Li Yuncui!"

Li Xiulan looked at him with a faint gaze:

"Xiao Hua also said, the parents of the person he's dating now are both leaders in the county town."

Once these words were spoken, Wang Changgen's throat immediately felt blocked.

For a rural man like him, what he most admired, feared, and longed for was being an official.

"Is what he said true or false?"

After a long while, Wang Changgen finally squeezed out such a sentence.

"It should be true, he also said tomorrow her partner's parents will also come to our home."

Li Xiulan answered like this.

Although Wang Changgen was no longer as angry and resistant as before, he was still worried:

"But, Li Yuncui is a marriage fate destined by heaven; if Wang Xiaohua doesn't date Li Yuncui, isn't he afraid of heavenly punishment?"

Li Xiulan said: "Xiao Hua said, let's go ask Wu Banxian tomorrow; he said Wu Banxian said his marriage fate is not Li Yuncui, but this current partner."

"How does he know? He's not a Half-Immortal!" Wang Changgen looked full of disbelief.

"We'll know if we go ask Wu Banxian tomorrow!" Li Xiulan said impatiently.

Then she retorted:

"Could it be that you hope Xiao Hua's marriage fate is Li Yuncui, and not this current partner? Don't forget, Li Yuncui is now carrying someone else's child; marrying her in means you'll have to help raise someone else's grandson! And Xiao Hua's current partner's parents are leaders in the county; if Xiao Hua and his current partner get together, in the future when we go to the county town to handle affairs, it will also be more convenient. Most importantly, aren't you the one who loves face the most? Xiao Hua marrying Li Yuncui will make you lose face, while marrying the current partner will make you gain face! You'd better pray that tomorrow Wu Banxian says Xiao Hua's marriage fate is exactly the partner he's dating now! Otherwise, the whole village will laugh at you, helping others raise a grandson!"

After Li Xiulan said these words, Wang Changgen was completely speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, it really was that principle.

His own son marrying Li Yuncui would indeed make him Wang Changgen lose face!

And if he married the daughter of a county town leader, that would indeed add glory to his face!

However, he didn't quite trust what Wang Xiaohua said.

So after being silent for a long while, he muttered a sentence:

"This kid wouldn't be playing some trick on us, would he? A few days ago he wasn't saying he went to the county town to find a female classmate to hang out with, but was rejected? How did he find a partner so fast, and even bring her parents home so fast!"

It wasn't strange that Wang Changgen would have such doubts.

If anyone was to blame, it could only be Wang Xiaohua; a casual remark he previously used to needle Wang Changgen had actually become the root of all trouble.

Actually, this time Wang Changgen taking the initiative to go to Li Yuncui's home to propose marriage was also because of that one sentence from Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua said he went to find a female classmate to hang out but was politely refused, making Wang Changgen feel that his youngest son was just a bookworm, with no ability to date.

"Xiao Hua doesn't have as many bad intentions as you; he probably just didn't want us to know too much before, which is why he told us he wasn't dating anyone. Now if we force him to be with Li Yuncui, he really has no choice, so he decided to bring his partner home."

Li Xiulan said like this.

Wang Changgen said:

"Forget it, tomorrow morning, we'll just go ask Wu Banxian again!"

Li Xiulan said:

"Go to sleep early, get up early tomorrow morning; I still need to clean up the hygiene at home, otherwise when Xiao Hua brings his partner and family over, if they find our place a mess, it will leave a bad impression on them!"

In the blink of an eye it was the next morning past five o'clock, the sky had just dawned.

Li Xiulan got up.

She skillfully went to feed the chickens, ducks, and dogs, then went to cook a pot of congee, added enough firewood to the stove, then went to the vegetable garden to water, and picked some green vegetables to bring back.

In the morning she stir-fried green vegetables with the leftover pork from last night, then ate it with plain congee, which counted as solving breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, she hurried to wash the bowls and chopsticks, then washed clothes.

Wang Changgen also got up very early, but he did nothing; he just held a cigarette in his mouth, had his hands behind his back, and walked around in the courtyard.

By the time Li Xiulan finished washing the clothes, it was nearly nine o'clock in the morning.

Wang Zhanggen rode the motorcycle, and the two hurried off together to find Wu Banxian.

"Wu Banxian, can you divine another hexagram for our youngest son? Who exactly is his marriage fate? Can you be more specific?"

Wu Banxian said:

"Wasn't it already made very clear before? Your youngest son's marriage fate is in the southeast direction, and she was once his classmate, living very close to your home."

"How close is very close? The same village?" Wang Zhanggen asked.

Wu Banxian wore an impatient expression:

"Your son's marriage fate is excellent; you should not interfere too much!"

Then he added: "Let me divine another hexagram for you!"

Wu Banxian then divined a hexagram and said:

"This hexagram shows: Jianjia cangcang, white dew as frost, the so-called person, on the other side of the water."

"What does that mean?" Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan both looked puzzled.

Wu Banxian said:

"Your youngest son's partner's name is within these four lines of poetry!"

Li Xiulan then was stunned, suddenly realizing:

"Last night Xiao Hua said his current partner is called something Jianjia? Li Jianjia! That's right, Li Jianjia!"

Li Xiulan excitedly said:

"And his partner is his high school classmate, in County Town, and County Town is exactly in the southeast direction of our Shanggou Village, and County Town is actually quite close to our Shanggou Village, all of this matches what Wu Banxian said before!"

Wu Banxian said with displeasure:

"Your youngest son's current partner is not good enough, so why are you making trouble?"

Obviously, Wu Banxian had been notified by Wang Xiaohua last night, so he could only now divine such a hexagram.

As for why he showed impatience and displeasure on his face, it was because Wang Xiaohua had scolded him, and Wang Xiaohua blamed him for not controlling the situation well, causing a mishap.

Wu Banxian was also very innocent; how could he have thought that Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan would misunderstand his meaning, and not only misunderstand, but not even ask their own son's opinion before rushing to Li Yuncui's home to propose marriage.

To be honest, although Wu Banxian had seen many people, such an oddball was still rare.

Wang Zhanggen then asked:

"Wu Banxian, please divine another hexagram for us; what family background does my youngest son's partner come from?"

Wu Banxian casually pinched his fingers and then said directly:

"She is a civil servant in the county, and moreover a leader; she will add glory to your family!"

Then he very impatiently issued an expulsion order:

"You all hurry back home, tidy up the house a bit, and treat her well. If this matter is ruined, you will regret it for a lifetime!"

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan were both happy and excited, and at the same time admired Wu Banxian to the point of five-body prostration:

"Wu Banxian, I never expected you even divined that they would visit our home today! You are truly divine!"

Wu Banxian hurriedly waved his hand:

"Don't say it, don't say it, hurry up and go, hurry!"

Li Xiulan hurriedly asked: "Then what about the divination fee..."

Wu Banxian said:

"Just give a hundred or eighty yuan, that's fine; hurry back!"

Wu Banxian was afraid Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen would return too late, delaying the big matter and failing to receive Li Jianjia and her parents well, at which point Wang Xiaohua would blame him again, and he would be depressed once more.

So he hurriedly urged Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen several times to go home quickly.
