Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai spoke his words very coldly.

But they were also the truth.

Many people favor sons over daughters; after a divorce, the daughter goes with the mother, and the father rarely asks about her again.

Perhaps at first he'll still pay some child support, but later he might not even bother with that.

Liang Xinghua had nothing to say after hearing Wang Erhai's words.

He also really wanted to be that ruthless.

But as soon as he thought of the scene of his daughter screaming "Dad" with a heart-rending cry, his heart ached unbearably.

So, after thinking it over, he ultimately did not adopt Wang Erhai's suggestion.

He made a major decision: he would break up with Zhong Liying.

Anyway, no matter what, he would definitely bring his daughter back to live with him in the future.

Since Zhong Liying couldn't tolerate his daughter, he could only abandon this relationship.

Although he might regret it later, he would not regret it.

That evening, he was busy again until past nine, nearly ten, before getting off work.

After getting off work, Liang Xinghua left the company and went to his car.

In the car he smoked several cigarettes, steeled himself mentally, and only then made up his mind to call Zhong Liying.

It was time to end all this.

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone rang several times.

Zhong Liying answered.

"Hello, Xinghua, I've decided."

The call had just connected; Liang Xinghua hadn't spoken yet when Zhong Liying's voice came through.

"Decided what?"

Liang Xinghua asked calmly.

Because he had already prepared himself for the breakup.

He thought Zhong Liying's decision was to break up with him.

If she said those words, he would greet her with a smile, wishing her to find someone better in the future.

And thank her for giving him wonderful moments during their brief time together.

Those memories were destined to become beautiful memories Liang Xinghua could never erase in his lifetime.

However, to Liang Xinghua's surprise, Zhong Liying gave a different answer:

"I've decided to accept your daughter."

Liang Xinghua froze instantly:

"What did you say?"

He thought he was hallucinating, that he'd misheard.

After all, Zhong Liying's previous behavior had all hinted that she couldn't accept his daughter.

So now, hearing her say this, his face was full of disbelief.

"I said, I've decided to accept your daughter. To love someone is to love all of them, isn't it?"

Zhong Liying had also waged a fierce psychological struggle all day today; it was very difficult before she made this decision.

She knew what this decision would bring her.

Living with Liang Xinghua's daughter in the future would definitely face huge challenges.

Even Liang Xinghua's daughter might regard her as an enemy, feeling she stole her mother's place.

The reason she resisted before was mostly because she didn't want to accept this kind of challenge.

Once accepted, she had to be responsible.

Because this is a lifetime's challenge.

If Liang Xinghua's daughter hated her, that hatred might not decrease with age but instead increase as she grew older.

Especially when she reached the rebellious teenage years.

"Liying, thank you..."

Liang Xinghua's eyes were red, his throat a bit choked up.

Tears involuntarily slid from the corners of his eyes.

He was a big man; even when he divorced Lan Menglian, he didn't cry.

But now, facing Zhong Liying, he cried.

This woman was too good.

Like a perfect, flawless gift bestowed on him by heaven.

He had to cherish this gift.

He vowed to spend a lifetime protecting this gift.

"No need to thank me, just hope that I can accept your everything, and you can also accept my everything, whether good or bad."

Zhong Liying spoke like this.

Then she said again:

"Are you still coming to my place tonight?"

Liang Xinghua hurriedly said:

"I'm going, I'll set off right now."

Liang Xinghua drove to downstairs of Zhong Liying's rental house, met with Zhong Liying, and the two tightly embraced together.

At that moment, no more words were needed.

Zhong Liying decided to accept Liang Xinghua's daughter, but for Liang Xinghua to bring his daughter over to live, it wasn't that easy yet.

He had to work hard to earn money; only when he earned money and living conditions improved could he bring her over.

Additionally, Lan Menglian's nod of agreement was also still needed.

He knew Lan Menglian wouldn't easily give up custody; to get the daughter's custody, he'd probably have to give her a not-small sum of money.

In short, money was needed everywhere.

Wang Erhai, learning Liang Xinghua hadn't accepted his suggestion, just smiled helplessly, didn't say anything.

After all, that was Liang Xinghua's own family matter; meddling further would be overstepping.

When he learned Zhong Liying actually chose to accept Liang Xinghua's daughter, he was full of surprise and shock.

Bottom line, Zhong Liying was still too young, had a bit of a love-brain.

Of course, she might also be after Liang Xinghua's economic security.

At this time, Liang Xinghua was no longer that down-and-out middle-aged mountain villager; although his savings weren't that much, because of his position's promotion, his future prospects were wide open and very good.

It's hard to judge whether Zhong Liying's choice was right or wrong.

The only thing certain is, she will definitely need to take responsibility for this choice of hers in the future.

This day Wang Erhai squeezed out some time, returned to Shanggou Village to handle Village Committee Office matters.

Currently, the high-standard farmland task was being pushed forward vigorously.

Those originally abandoned farmlands in Shanggou Village were being reclaimed piece by piece.

Wang Erhai walked a circle in the fields, still worrying over what grain crops to plant.

Many of the newly reclaimed farmlands, the owners chose not to want them, directly threw them to Wang Erhai to cultivate, only needing to give them 1500 yuan per acre subsidy.

Wang Erhai had no choice, could only collect all these fields into his hands.

But, Shanggou Village is hilly mountain terrain, the fields here are mostly terraced fields.

The newly reclaimed high-standard farmland, although connected to water and roads, is very difficult to mechanize operations.

Can't use large transplanters, harvesters, to manage.

Can only use manual labor, or small machines.

Wang Erhai roughly calculated, the high-standard farmland in his hands, at least two hundred acres, if all cultivated manually, the cost is really too high.

Obviously a money-losing business.

Only pity, he was already roped in.

Now riding a tiger hard to get off, caught in a dilemma.

High-standard farmland already created, if not cultivated, can't get the subsidy.

But if cultivate, can only pay out of pocket to operate.

The subsidy money he extracted, completely insufficient for cultivation costs.

In the end Wang Erhai could only grit his teeth, choose to pay out of his own pocket to fill this hole.

He decided next year at spring start, to plant all fields with rice paddy.

After rice paddy harvest finishes, then plant one season of corn.

After planting next year, if losses too much, then after he takes the subsidy, the year after next he won't plant anymore.

If losses not much, then he might still continue to supplement some money to cultivate.

After all, high-standard farmland created with great effort, not planting it would really be too much of a pity.

On the other side, the new house at home was already renovated, after ventilating for a period of time, basically no smell anymore.

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan calculated, it was time to purchase furniture and appliances.

Coincidentally today Wang Erhai returned, planning to discuss with him.
