Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Zhanggen immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Erhai's number.

Wang Erhai had arrived at the riverbank at this time; he leaned against the railing, watching the sparkling river surface, his eyes filled with endless bewilderment, smoking one cigarette after another.

He was pondering what marriage ultimately brought to a man.

What was the true meaning of love?

What was the meaning of life?

He did not know.

He was deeply dejected.

He was on the verge of depression.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang.

It interrupted his train of thought.

He took it out to look — it was unexpectedly his own father calling.

He was annoyed to death and did not want to answer this call, so he immediately hung up.

Because he knew that when his father called, there was definitely no good news.

Seeing that Wang Erhai actually dared to hang up on him, Wang Zhanggen instantly flew into a towering rage:

"This beast — he no longer has me as a father in his eyes, right? He even dares to hang up on my call!"

You must understand, previously he never took the initiative to call his sons; in his understanding, it had to be the son calling the father — there was no principle of the father calling the son.

No one knew where he got this rule from, but anyway, his rule was welded shut and would not easily change.

Today, in order to make Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi remarry, he took the initiative to yield, took the initiative to put down his airs, and took the initiative to place this call to Wang Erhai.

But he never expected in ten thousand years that Wang Erhai would actually hang up on him directly!

How could this not make him angry, how could this not make him furious?

"I'll call again — if you dare hang up again, just watch how I clean you up!"

Wang Zhanggen gritted his teeth and spat out these words at his phone.

In front of so many people, being hung up on by Wang Erhai made him feel he had lost all face.

However, when he called again, Wang Erhai really did hang up again.

And without the slightest hesitation.

Right now his heart was in chaos; he simply wanted to be alone quietly for a while, nothing more.

Wang Zhanggen was so angry fire shot up three zhang; he called again.

This time, Wang Erhai answered.

But the moment he opened his mouth, his tone was full of impatience:

"What do you want calling me? Can't you let me be quiet by myself for a bit!"

Hearing Wang Erhai's head-on reproach, Wang Zhanggen was momentarily dumbfounded, but after the dumbfoundedness came immediate fury:

"What kind of attitude is this? Your father calls, and you dare not answer?"

Wang Erhai was extremely impatient:

"If there's something, say it; if not, I'm hanging up!"

Wang Zhanggen felt his authority challenged, but he still endured it — after all, getting Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi to remarry was the top priority.

"Where the hell are you right now? Hurry back and go remarry with Mei Qi!"

Wang Zhanggen used a commanding tone, condescending, issuing orders.

"Are you an idiot?" Wang Erhai fired back a soul-searching question. "Last time, how did Liu Mei Qi curse you? Have you forgotten? And you still urge me to remarry her?"

Wang Erhai's words could be said to be utterly disrespectful to his father.

But this was also normal — originally he had little respect for his father in his heart.

Now his mood was this bad, so naturally he spoke without thinking, even saying the two words "idiot."

"If you don't remarry, do you still want to be with that female demon? She is the culprit who caused your son's death!" Wang Zhanggen angrily interrogated.

Wang Erhai said coldly:

"I won't be with Yao Xueqin, but I also won't remarry Liu Mei Qi — there aren't only those two women in this world!"

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"If your divorce spreads in Shanggou Village, that's a huge disgrace. Let me tell you, in our Shanggou Village, besides Yang Dafu who has been divorced, there hasn't been any other divorced man! Do you want to become a second Yang Dafu! That would make you a laughingstock to the whole village!"

Back then, because Yang Dafu attempted to molest Li Xiulan but failed, he was slashed several times by Wang Zhanggen. When the matter finally ended, although both sides reached a settlement, Yang Dafu not only lost his position as Women's Federation Director, but his marriage with his wife also reached its end. In the end, he had no face to stay in Shanggou Village and could only go alone to the city to work; to this day he rarely returns to Shanggou Village, not even for Spring Festival holidays.

In Wang Zhanggen's view, a divorced man like Yang Dafu was the most disgraceful!

So he was unwilling for his second son to divorce as well.

However, Wang Erhai's attitude was worlds apart from his.

Wang Erhai wore an utterly indifferent expression:

"If they want to laugh, let them laugh — I don't care."

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen was so angry his lips trembled:

"You may not care, but what about me, your father? What you're throwing away isn't just your own face, but my face as well!"

Wang Erhai, however, said:

"If you care that much about face, then I can't help it either."

Wang Zhanggen cursed loudly:

"You beast, rebelling against heaven, aren't you? Get back here right now!"

Wang Erhai not only didn't come back, but instead directly hung up the phone.

He continued smoking, continued watching the sparkling ripples on the river surface, continued feeling this cool river wind.

For a moment, a terrifying thought even popped into his mind:

Why not just dive headfirst into this river and be done with it.

And on the other side, Wang Zhanggen was so angered by Wang Erhai's disrespectful attitude that he was already fuming:

"Go, let's go to that stinking brat's company together, he should be right there!"

Wang Zhanggen was huffing with anger.

Li Xiulan comforted from the side:

"Don't get so angry, if you ruin your health, medical expenses will start at several thousand at least."

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen's anger instantly dissipated by more than half.

It wasn't because he had forgiven Wang Erhai.

Rather, he was reluctant to shell out that several thousand in medical expenses.

Same as Li Xiulan, both had been frugal for most of their lives, how could they be willing to spend that kind of money.

At this time, Wang Xiaohua spoke up:

"How about we take a three-wheeler there."

Liu Mei Qi then said:

"A three-wheeler can seat three people at most, we'd need to hail two."

Wang Xiaohua said: "Then hail two."

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"Let's walk there, it's not that far! Why waste that wronged money!"

Liu Mei Qi stopped speaking.

Li Xiulan agreed with Wang Zhanggen's opinion:

"Right, walk there, no need to waste that wronged money!"

Wang Xiaohua carefully said:

"Dad, aren't you in a big hurry to go find Second Brother?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, coldly said:

"What's the rush, anyway he can't run away!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled, stopped speaking.

Clever as he was, sometimes he still couldn't figure out what his own father's brain circuits were like.

Some things contradictory, illogical, even a reversal of priorities, he just did them so righteously and confidently.

Wang Xiaohua merely silently sent Wang Erhai a WeChat message:

"Second Brother, I know you need to cool down a bit, we're heading to your company now, if you're at the company, then hurry up and hide."

Wang Erhai, seeing the WeChat Wang Xiaohua sent, felt moved inside.

Then hurriedly replied a sentence:

"Rest assured, I'm outside right now."

Wang Xiaohua sent another WeChat:

"Second Brother, I support your approach, Yao Xueqin and Liu Mei Qi actually aren't very suitable for marriage, you should still find someone suitable for marriage."

Wang Erhai, seeing this message Wang Xiaohua sent, smiled knowingly, that thought of wanting to dive headfirst into the river surface suddenly disappeared.

He smiled and muttered to himself a sentence:

"Third Brother understands me after all."
