Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After hanging up Huo Guoqiang's call, Wang Erhai smoked dejectedly.

He thought for a good while, and finally decided to call Liang Xinghua.

If Liang Xinghua hasn't gone to the County Town yet, then he'll have him hold off for a bit.

Since he promised Liang Xinghua he would help solve his employment issue, he will definitely fulfill that promise.

But given the current situation, it definitely needs to be pushed back a bit.

He has to find a way to resolve Huo Guoqiang's side of things first, and only then can he introduce Liang Xinghua to work at Liguo Mountain Decoration Co., Ltd.

"Beep beep beep..."

The mobile phone rang for a while.

Liang Xinghua picked up.

"Hello... Uncle Xinghua..."

Wang Erhai didn't know how to open his mouth for a moment.

"Erhai, what's up?"

Liang Xinghua's inquiry came from the other end of the phone, and at the same time, the background noise was mixed with the sound of a bus engine.

Wang Erhai knew Liang Xinghua had most likely already set off.

But he still asked:

"Have you already gone to the County Town?"

Liang Xinghua answered truthfully:

"Yeah, I'm on the bus right now, my wife and kid are with me too."

Wang Erhai was immediately surprised:

"You haven't even found a place to live in the County Town yet, and you're in such a rush to bring the two of them down?"

Liang Xinghua smiled bitterly:

"I don't want to either, but my wife insists on going down together today, what can I do? My wife said, if we can't find a rental today, worst case we stay one night in a hotel!"

To tell the truth, Liang Xinghua was pretty depressed about this too.

But there was no choice, his wife is more domineering, once she decides something, it's hard for him to dissuade her.

Additionally, he also feels he lacks capability, that he owes his wife and child, so on family matters, he endures if he can, yields if he can.

Otherwise if his wife runs off, the possibility of him finding a new wife is almost nil!

"Oh oh, so that's how it is..."

Wang Erhai felt even more depressed.

Right, Liang Xinghua brought his wife and kid down, that's how much he trusts him!

If he doesn't keep his promise to help solve the work issue, things will definitely end very unpleasantly!

"Erhai, you still haven't said what you called me for!"

Liang Xinghua was very curious, Wang Erhai was hemming and hawing, this wasn't like his usual style at all.

"Nothing, just calling to ask if you've reached the County Town."

Wang Erhai could only give a perfunctory answer.

"We're at the National Highway side now, twenty-some minutes more, should be able to reach the County Town."

"Alright then, you all be careful on the road, I've got nothing else, that's it then."

"Okay okay, I'm hanging up then!"

Liang Xinghua hung up Wang Erhai's call, and immediately said to Lan Menglian beside him holding the child:

"Look at Erhai, specially calling to show concern for us! He treats us this well, we absolutely cannot repay kindness with enmity!"

But Lan Menglian said:

"Him treating us this well is because his Wang Family owes us! Your mother's matter, they should compensate us a big sum of money!"

Lan Menglian's words made it sound as if Wang Erhai being good to them was only right and proper.

She even felt the current help wasn't fully enough, the Wang Family must give their family even more help before she could not resent the Wang Family.

Liang Xinghua was furious, with nothing to say.

He felt he and Lan Menglian were simply not on the same wavelength, he was honest and simple by nature, while Lan Menglian was sharp-tongued and mean, communicating was too difficult.

Finally they arrived at the County Town.

Whole family in tow.

Had to hold the daughter, and carry heavy luggage.

Looked for a rental for a good while, didn't find a suitable one.

Rentals by the road were expensive, ones not by the road were too far from the County Town Center.

Most importantly, during the process of finding a rental, Lan Menglian kept complaining.

One moment saying Liang Xinghua doesn't know how to find a house, next saying Liang Xinghua has no prospects, next saying she married the wrong man.

Liang Xinghua darkened his face and didn't speak.

His mood was terrible.

But he still endured it.

Because he didn't want to argue with Lan Menglian.

They had finally found a rental house not too far from the county town center and with a cheap price, but Lan Menglian complained it was too small and the environment too poor.

"For this location, only 200 yuan a month in rent — how could it not be small, how could it not be poor?"

Liang Xinghua was quite speechless, and said impatiently:

"Let's just make do and live here; when we earn money later, we'll switch to a bigger rental house."

Lan Menglian cursed and grumbled:

"Make do, make do, all you know is making do, making do for a lifetime! Before in Shenzhen we made do, later returning to Shangou Village we made do, now coming to the county town still making do, marrying you I've truly had eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

Lan Menglian grew more and more agitated as she spoke.

Their daughter sat quietly on the suitcase.

She looked eagerly at Liang Xinghua, her eyes even holding some sympathy for her father.

At this moment Lan Menglian also said to her daughter: "Ai Lan, when you grow up later, you must absolutely not find a man as useless as your dad, otherwise you'll suffer for a lifetime, understand!"

Liang Ailan didn't speak, just looked eagerly at Lan Menglian.

Liang Xinghua got angry:

"You scold me, scold me, but what are you saying these things to our daughter for!"

But Lan Menglian said:

"I'll say it, you're unpromising so people can't even speak? Think back — your dad was still the Village Committee Secretary, but you got nothing; before the Town Government leaders asked you and Wang Erhai and Zhang Zhiqiang to attend a meeting together, why didn't you fight for a village cadre position! You let that good opportunity go to waste, giving it to that bastard Wang Erhai!"

Liang Xinghua sighed in despair: "Where are you going with this again! Wang Erhai is obviously much more suitable to be a village cadre than me!"

But Lan Menglian said coldly:

"I see you're just unpromising! Coward! Useless waste!"

Liang Xinghua clenched his fists, his body even trembling slightly.

He could barely hold back.

But looking at his daughter beside him, he ultimately still held back.

If his precious daughter weren't by his side, he absolutely would have reached his limit and fought it out with Lan Menglian!

"I'm going out to buy some daily necessities, you stay here and watch our daughter!"

Liang Xinghua didn't want to bicker with Lan Menglian, and without waiting for her agreement, turned and left.

Out of the rental house, he lit a Gate cigarette outside.

He took a deep drag of smoke, then exhaled, and his suppressed mood only then eased a little.

"Damn it, truly a poor couple faces a hundred sorrows!"

Liang Xinghua cursed at the air.

Then he went to buy daily necessities.

After all, life still has to go on.

Besides cursing the air, he couldn't do anything else.

He secretly vowed in his heart that if someday in the future he made it big, he would absolutely kick that shrew Lan Menglian away at the first moment!

However, this could only be a thought.

Because he knew, with his ability, even making ends meet is a problem, let alone making it big!

Striking it rich — for an honest man like him who has neither ability nor education nor even eloquence — is simply like clouds in the sky, how utterly unattainable!
