Chapter 10: The Upright Master (Part 2)

The three people set aside the gifts in their hands. Mother Jiang quickly pulled out the jade bracelets on the bag and the red envelopes from her handbag: “We are here to thank the master for today.”

Lin Qingyin, who was stroking the tortoiseshell in her hand, looked at Jiang Wei and saw the red and yellow light on his Life Palace was brighter than before: “Your lost luck has returned, and your good luck is stronger than before.”

Father Jiang was overjoyed when he heard those words. He stood up and thanked her again. Father Jiang hesitated, but then asked: “Little Master if Chen Yucheng came to me, what should I say? If I tell him the truth, won’t he look for another master to harm us?”

Lin Qingyin softly chuckled: “It’s okay, you can return the jade pendant and the hat directly to him. He will understand it by then. If he really has the ability, he can look for another master again, let’s see who will dare to act so big.”

Hearing those words, Father Jiang felt at ease, but then he looked at the clock on the wall. He doesn’t want to stay for too long, he doesn’t want to affect Lin Qingyin’s practice time, and so he gave his wife a meaningful look. The three stood up together: “This time, we came to thank the master, but we dare not disturb Master for too long, so we will leave now.”

“You’re going?” Lin Qingyin raised an eyebrow: “Did you forgot what you promised me?”

Father Jiang looked confused: “Huh?”

Lin Qingyin turned back to her room, took out a stack of homework books, and put it on the round table in the living room: “Didn’t you promised me to finish my homework for me?” She picked up her chemistry homework and handed it to Mother Jiang: “You help me with this.” Next, she picked up her physics homework and handed it to Father Jiang: “You finish this book.” Then, Lin Qingyin looked at Jiang Wei and said: “Come here and help me with my math  assignments.”

Father Jiang didn’t need to look at the content inside, just by looking at the title ‘Physics’ his legs soften. He became dizzy and so he said: “Master, my best score in physics is 18 points.”

Mother Jiang also shivered in fear and hurriedly put the chemistry homework back on the table: “Master, I studied liberal arts in high school.”

Lin Qingyin raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth. However, before she could make a sound, Father Jiang immediately pushed forward his son in front of Lin Qingyin: “Master, my son is the Top 1 in the college entrance examination. He’s good in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics! He graduated from a well-known university in Mathematics! His English Level is 6! Just ask him if you have any questions!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Mother Jiang nodded her head: “He has no work right now. He is free 24 hours a day. It doesn’t matter how long he will help you.”

Jiang Wei looked at his parent who sold him cleanly and said helplessly: “… … Mom, I’m going to prepare for my postgraduate entrance exam!”

“Post Graduate entrance exams must lay a good foundation!” Father Jiang, who only graduated from Junior High School, immediately put the Physics homework to Jiang Wei’s hand: “While you explain these things to Master, you’re also reviewing yourself.”

Jiang Wei: “…!!!”

Are you really my father?!

“Make-up Class!” Lin Qingyin thought for a moment and said. When the original’s academic performance declined, Lin Qingyin’s Mother also considered hiring a tutor to teach her, but the cost of Make-up Class frightened her. Aside from letting her try her best, the whole family dared not ask someone else to tutor her.

Lin Qingyin picked up the thick red envelope sent by the Jiang Family. This was the money they just send to her but they are ready to take it back?

Recalling what the owner’s teacher said before the holiday, that they were not allowed to report back to school without completing the homework, Lin Qingyin sighed: “How much does it cost for make-up a class?”

Father Jiang: “…????”

Mother Jiang: “…?????”

Father Jiang replied: “We don’t need money! It’s free of charge!”

Mother Jiang took out a pile of money and stuffed it into Jiang Wei’s hands: “Remember to invite the master to dinner at noon. You cannot let the master spend money!”

Lin Qingyin turned to look at Jiang Wei: “Then you stay!”

Jiang Wei: “???”

Father Jiang came out of Lin Qingyin’s house and went straight to the factory. There were a lot of things to be done now that the factory resumed their previous work. He wished he could live in the factory and watch the order delivery to be at ease. On the other hand, Mother Jiang was worried that Chen Yucheng will come to the house to find fault, so she decided to stay at home this time, so as not to scare the old couple.

As soon as she walked to the community, Mother Jiang saw her mother-in-law and a group of old ladies sitting under the shade of trees. She didn’t know what to say, but she was very happy. Seeing the figure of Mother Jiang, Grandma Jiang immediately waved her hand to her: “Daughter-in-law, come over here and tell them about the little master.”

Mother Jiang came over with a confused look in the face, but then heard an enthusiastic Aunt say: “Your mother-in-law said that the Fortune-teller, who came to your door, accurately guess that your family’s good fortune was transfer to someone else, is that true? But it sounds so strange that we don’t dare to believe it.”

This was a good thing for Lin Qingyin. So Mother Jiang immediately said: “It’s not transferred, my family fell into someone’s scheme. As soon as the little master understand the case, she broke the spells of the other party. A minute later, my husband received an order worth 5 million yuan. Don’t you think the little master is so good?”

“5 million!!!” The old ladies’ eyes almost pop out in shock: “Isn’t it just a coincidence?”

Mother Jiang replied with a smile: “To say that it’s just a coincidence, why we didn’t encounter such a coincidence when we’ve done our best from smiling and saying good words to others to help, huh? And, oh… …” Mother Jiang gritted her teeth and said: “The person who moved his hand in the dark begun to suffer retribution. This news just came out.”

After hearing the news, the old ladies were all convinced, they quickly took out their mobile phones, wore their reading glasses, and began to make an appointment. An old lady, who was a step slower, looked at her companions sending voice messages, immediately complained to her old husband: “I said that we should make an appointment earlier, but my old husband didn’t believe me. Now I don’t know when can we ask our fortune.”

Fatty Wang, who was struggling to memorize his ancestral secret book, was shocked when he heard the repeated sound of WeChat reminders. He took his mobile phone and saw that it was all about making appointments for divination.

Fatty Wang, who almost fell asleep on his sofa, immediately came back to spirit and excitedly sent WeChat message to Lin Qingyin: “Master, is it suitable to set up a stall tomorrow?”

A few minutes later, Lin Qingyin replied: “At 5:30 tomorrow morning, under the old tree in the Public Park, only 10 people can ask for divination!”
