Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi discovered they could no longer get through to their daughter's phone, and immediately flew into a rage.

"This dead Jianmei, she's truly ungrateful, raising her for nothing all these years!"

Du Guoqing cursed furiously.

Lin Xiudi had a face full of worry:

"If she refuses to give money, what will happen to our Jiabao?"

Du Guoqing smoked with his head down, then looked up to see Du Jiabao playing on his phone on the sofa nearby.

He immediately felt anger rise in his heart:

"If you weren't my son, I'd really kick you to death! Wasn't the money I gave you enough? Why did you have to take out online loans!"

Du Jiabao had a blank expression, not even glancing at Du Guoqing:

"It was you who told me to find a partner. Does finding a partner not cost money? Going out for a meal costs hundreds or thousands. The bit of money you gave me was spent long ago."

"That's more than just a bit, Jiabao." Lin Xiudi felt heartbroken, "I gave you tens of thousands!"

"You still dare to say that? Only tens of thousands, is that enough to send off a beggar? Also, you said you'd buy me a car, so where's even a car shell now?"

Lin Xiudi hurried to comfort him:

"Jiabao, don't be angry. Wasn't the bride price money we got from your sister used to buy a house? Let's buy a car after some time, okay?"

"Then I'll find a partner after some time. Whenever you buy me a car, I'll find a partner."

Du Jiabao demanded things from his parents righteously, yet everything seemed perfectly natural to him.

This truly proved the old saying: spoiling a child is like killing him.

Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi spoiled Du Jiabao so much that he had not a shred of gratitude.

This person was already ruined.

Not only ruined, but he would become an inescapable nightmare for this elderly couple in their later years.

But they didn't deserve sympathy either; a pitiable person must have hateful aspects.

Du Jiabao becoming this ghostly figure wasn't it spoiled into being by their own hands?

And now, they were still spoiling Du Jiabao.

After finishing a cigarette, Du Guoqing suddenly made a decision:

"Tomorrow we'll go find Jianmei. Once we find her, if she doesn't give money, we'll just refuse to leave!"

Lin Xiudi frowned slightly:

"But we don't know where she is at all, only that she works in the city."

Du Guoqing said:

"We don't know where she is, but her husband definitely knows where she is. We'll first find her husband's parents, then find her husband, and naturally we'll find her!"

Du Guoqing's line of thinking was very clear.

And also very feasible.

After all, they had met Wang Dashan's parents and knew they lived in some village in Fogang County.

Although they didn't have Wang Dashan and his parents' contact information, the county town was small; as long as they went to the county town to look, they would surely find him within a few days.

The next day, Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi set off together for Fogang County.

Arriving there, they went to Huangsheng Hotel and asked the hotel manager, easily obtaining Wang Erhai's contact information.

Because they had held a wedding banquet there before, Wang Erhai had left his contact number.

Also, the hotel manager there knew they were Wang Dashan's maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, and would naturally be very enthusiastic and proactive in helping them contact him.

"Elders, would you like me to help contact Mr. Wang Erhai to come pick you up?"

The hotel manager asked politely.

"Then have him come over. In a while we'll go find his parents together."

When Wang Erhai received the hotel manager's call, he was stunned.

"What? My big brother's maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother came? Why didn't they call ahead? My big brother didn't tell me they were coming."

Wang Erhai sensed something was off, so he was somewhat vigilant in his heart.

"Mr. Wang, please come over. Only after you see them will you know what's going on."

The hotel manager said politely.

Wang Erhai thought for a moment, then agreed:

"Fine, I'll go over now."

Soon, he drove to Huangsheng Hotel.

He saw Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi.

Before coming here, he had wondered if they were scammers.

But after seeing them with his own eyes, he realized they definitely weren't scammers.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know you were coming, so I made no preparations to welcome you."

Wang Erhai lowered his posture to welcome them, after all they were his big brother's maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, and he dared not neglect them.

"What brings you here?"

Wang Erhai asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, just bored and idling, came out traveling, happened to pass through this small county town, thought I'd come play around for a bit. By the way, are your parents home? We haven't seen our in-laws in a long time."

Du Guoqing was very cunning; he didn't directly state his purpose, but found an excuse of traveling and passing through to lower Wang Erhai's vigilance.

"I see... My parents are at our rural hometown; shall I go pick them up to meet you?"

"Have you drive us to your hometown once; no need for them to come here to see us."

"Then I'll tell my parents, and have them prepare rice and dishes in advance to receive you."

Wang Erhai immediately called his mother Li Xiulan:

"Hello, Mom, Big Brother's parents have come to our small county town, saying they want to come to our home for a visit."

"How did they suddenly come? Dashan and Xiao Juan didn't tell me in advance." Li Xiulan also felt it was rather abrupt.

"They are traveling and passing through here, so they came to take a look on the way." Wang Erhai said thus.

Li Xiulan nodded:

"Oh, oh, is that so? Then when will you bring them over? I'll kill a chicken to treat them."

"I'll bring them over in a moment."

"Fine, that's it for now, hanging up."

Li Xiulan hung up the phone, immediately went to the construction site, and told Wang Zhanggen about this matter.

Wang Zhanggen heard it and was overjoyed:

"Our in-laws personally came to see us; this is a good thing! You go prepare some rice and dishes, I'll go to the town to buy some good cigarettes and good wine!"

Thus the two divided labor and cooperated.

Li Xiulan went home to cook.

Wang Zhanggen rode a motorcycle to the town to buy cigarettes and wine.

When Wang Zhanggen had bought back the cigarettes and wine, Li Xiulan had also finished preparing a table of rice and dishes.

After waiting a short while, they arrived.

"In-laws, you've gone to trouble; didn't expect you would come today, preparations were rather hasty, hospitality lacking, please forgive us."

Wang Zhanggen laughed heartily, looking very amiable.

"It's nothing, nothing, just came for a stroll, no need for such hospitality."

Du Guoqing also laughed heartily.

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly handed over a cigarette.

Then everyone went into the house together.

By this time the rice and dishes had already been prepared.

Thus they ate while chatting.

Everyone chatted quite pleasantly.

Du Guoqing suddenly sighed at this time:

"Sigh, don't know if Xiao Juan and Dashan and them are doing well now; Xiao Juan is busy with work, rarely calls home!"

Wang Zhanggen said with a smile:

"In-laws, you don't need to worry; those two are doing very well now, and even bought a big villa in Guangzhou! That villa, several hundred square meters!"

"They actually bought a house? And it's still a villa?"

Du Guoqing was immediately stunned.

Du Xiaojuan had never told him about this matter.

Lin Xiudi also had a face full of surprise:

"Weren't they still owing a buttload of debt? How do they have money to buy a house?"

At this time they vaguely sensed, probably it was their daughter deceiving them.

So their complexions all became not very good-looking.
