Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wu Banxian pinched his fingers to calculate, then said to Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan:

"Are you wanting to ask whether that New Era Restaurant can be taken?"

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, hearing this, immediately wore faces full of surprise.

Although they had long known Wu Banxian's divination was very accurate, right now they still hadn't opened their mouths to speak, yet Wu Banxian had already calculated their purpose for coming — this was too uncanny, making it impossible not to be surprised.

Most importantly, Wu Banxian had even calculated out the name of that restaurant.

When others divine, the words they speak are more or less ambiguous; this Wu Banxian, however, was directly precise beyond compare.

Truly formidable!

"Right right right, Wu Banxian, we just wanted to come ask whether that New Era Restaurant, we can take it or not!"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly asked.

Wu Banxian again put on a show of pinching his fingers to calculate, then said with an air of self-assured ease:

"That restaurant, it's unlucky — the previous holder, in succession, had three major things happen."

These words spoken, once again made Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan surprised beyond measure.

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"That's right, the previous holder, first his daughter-in-law hanged herself in suicide, later he himself got cancer, and after that his son even had a car accident!"

Wang Zhanggen then asked:

"Half-Immortal, your meaning is, we cannot take that restaurant?"

Wang Zhanggen felt that since it was unlucky, naturally it could not be taken.

However, Wu Banxian slowly nodded:

"Under normal circumstances, unlucky things, definitely it's better not to touch them."

Wang Erhai, watching Wu Banxian speak such words, felt speechless in his heart.

Where was the promise to help him speak?

Yet now he says these things!

But he wasn't anxious either; he wanted to see just what operation Wu Banxian would pull off next.

Wang Zhanggen at this moment expressed deep agreement:

"Exactly, unlucky things, definitely cannot be touched, I long ago told my wife and my son, but they just wouldn't believe it!"

Wang Zhanggen sprayed saliva as he spoke, and with Wu Banxian's backing, he grew even more firm in his idea, turning back to look at Wang Erhai:

"You brat, don't go thinking about that restaurant anymore!"

Then he said to Li Xiulan:

"You'd best also put an end to that notion!"

Li Xiulan smacked her lips, though depressed, for a moment she could not refute anything.

However, at this time, Wu Banxian suddenly shifted his tone:

"However!!"

"However what?" Wang Zhanggen hurriedly asked.

Wu Banxian said:

"I just said, under normal circumstances, unlucky things, better not to touch them, however, there are exceptions — for example, a person born in the Year of the Sheep taking over this restaurant, definitely would not have any unluckiness."

Li Xiulan immediately revealed a delighted expression:

"Erhai, he's born in the Year of the Sheep!"

This time it was Wang Zhanggen's turn to be depressed.

Wu Banxian continued pinching his fingers to calculate further:

"If it's a Year of the Sheep person, and moreover born in the sixth lunar month, then taking over this restaurant, not only will there be no unluckiness, but it will also be greatly auspicious, business flourishing! The Sheep can drive away unluckiness, sixth month birth has the most vigorous yang fire, able to bring prosperous qi to the restaurant!"

Li Xiulan grew even happier:

"Erhai, isn't he exactly born in the sixth lunar month? Put that way, my son taking over this restaurant is a great good thing!"

Wang Zhanggen, however, grew even more depressed:

"Is this really true? Wu Banxian, you must not deceive us!"

He felt this matter was too coincidental.

Originally an unlucky thing, how come when it reaches Wang Erhai it's no longer unlucky?

Wu Banxian declared with absolute certainty:

"I definitely won't deceive you, we're also considered old acquaintances, look when have I ever deceived you? If the calculation is inaccurate, you can come find me anytime!"

Wu Banxian spoke with such certainty, Wang Zhanggen had no words to say.

Wang Erhai's face revealed a faint smile, showing a satisfied expression.

Wu Banxian at this time asked:

"It's your son who wants to take over that restaurant, right?"

"Right right right!" Li Xiulan hurriedly nodded.

Wu Banxian said:

"Since it's so, seeing you so worried, then let me divine another hexagram for your son."

Wu Banxian looked at Wang Erhai:

"Let me take a look at your palm."

Wang Erhai extended his left hand, and Wu Banxian took a look.

Then he was greatly startled:

"This is terrible! From your palm reading, you have a great disaster coming up recently! If you can't avoid this disaster, your line will end forever!"

Wang Erhai questioned:

"What great disaster?"

But Wu Banxian shook his head and swayed:

"Heaven's secrets must not be revealed, heaven's secrets must not be revealed!"

Then he said:

"However, this isn't to say there's no solution. That business at New Era Restaurant happens to be able to help you wash away the disaster. You'd better hurry up and take over that restaurant."

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen's face was full of shock:

"Put that way, the business at New Era Restaurant — my second son — he has no choice but to do it?"

Ending his line forever, that's no joke!

He had always been hoping for Wang Erhai to give him a grandson!

Wu Banxian's face was solemn as he murmured:

"Mm, indeed it is so. If you don't want your son's line to end, you can only go take over that restaurant."

Wang Zhanggen immediately said:

"Then fine, when we get back I'll have my son go take over that restaurant! No matter how much it costs, I'm willing!"

Bidding farewell to Wu Banxian, on the road back.

Wang Zhanggen's face was heavy.

He never expected this matter would actually get entangled with ending the family line.

Any kind of calamity he could accept, just not his own son's line ending!

"How much money is needed to take over that restaurant?"

Wang Zhanggen asked this one sentence.

Wang Erhai then said:

"I haven't gone to ask Uncle Grandpa Zhang yet, don't know what price he'll ask."

Li Xiulan then said:

"Before, Zhang Zhongtian spent 200,000 to get it from Niu Chunsheng. Estimating his asking price, it won't be lower than 200,000."

Wang Zhanggen frowned and said:

"This price isn't low..."

Then he asked Li Xiulan:

"How much savings do we still have?"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Only about 100,000 or so, all meant for renovation."

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"Still thinking about renovation? Erhai's line is about to end, what renovation! When we get back we'll take out all the savings, then see if we can borrow some more, help Erhai take over New Era Restaurant, the faster the better, just afraid if we're a beat too slow, Zhang Zhongtian will transfer the shop to someone else!"

Wang Zhanggen's words spoken, left Wang Erhai involuntarily stunned.

This old man, he's just like this.

You say he doesn't love his children, seems he does love them, and loves quite genuinely.

But you say he loves, yet everywhere there's selfishness, there's ignorance.

Wang Zhanggen sighed at this moment:

"Perhaps our fate is just like this, can't make the house pretty, renovation can wait for later, might as well not do fine renovation, just move in directly."

But Li Xiulan wasn't willing:

"Haven't we already renovated halfway? How can we just move in directly?"

Li Xiulan's words had some reason.

If it were just bare shell, only need to install water and electricity, could barely move in directly.

This renovation halfway done, walls scraped with half the putty, floor tiles laid halfway, how can we just move in directly?

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"I don't care, anyway Erhai's matter must be solved first. Erhai's matter is many times more important than house renovation!"

Wang Erhai's heart couldn't help but stir with a trace of being moved.

He smiled faintly:

"Dad, you keep your savings for renovation, Big Brother will give me money!"
