Chapter 19: Showdown (Part 1)

Lin Qingyin was thrown back to her room in an ugly manner. Lin Qingyin’s Mother looked at the stack of money in the paper bag with a complicated mood. How many people did her daughter gave divination to earn so much money?

Originally, Lin Qingyin’s Mother had only taken a half-day off. But now, she doesn’t need to go to work. The most urgent thing was to call her husband back and discuss opening a shop.

Lin Qingyin’s father, Lin Xu, works in a chemical company during the day and works part-time as a delivery boy after getting off his work. The Chemical Company doesn’t allow its workers to bring mobile phones into the production area. So Lin Qingyin’s Mother rarely calls him when he’s at work. She only calls the office when there’s a special emergency case at home, and then the office staff will call him.

The working hours of the chemical company were very early. They should arrive in the unit around 6:30 am and then will enter the workshop before 7 a.m. Although the labor intensity was high, the salary was much better than any other company.

In the workshop, Lin Xu was pouring the raw materials into the machine, when the office staff hurried over and shouted at him: “Your wife has an urgent matter to call you. You call her back.”

Lin Xu’s heart sank. He quickly put down the bucket in his hand and ran fast while nervously guessing what bad event happened at home. He rushed to the locker room at his fastest speed. Then, he hurriedly took out his key and open the cabinet. He took out his mobile phone and dialed their number at home anxiously.

After he dialed the number, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, the longer the phone rings, the more his heartbeat became loud. However, when the phone call was connected, there were noises from the other side. He even heard his wife saying from afar: “Two catties of fried dough sticks and 1 yuan soymilk. You pour the soymilk in this thermos… …” Then, his wife’s voice became clear: “Old Lin, you go home quickly.”

Lin Xu was still confused. The two of them don’t ask for leave unless it’s related to their daughter. After all, asking for leave, not only their wages will be reduced, but will also affect their bonuses. However, it didn’t look like there’s something wrong going on at home.

Lin Xu wet his dry lips and asked: “What happened to Qingyin?”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother seemed to be a little tangled and was afraid that other people will hear her. She said in a low voice: “You ask for leave and come back. Don’t worry on the way, pay attention to your safety.”

Although his wife said don’t worry, Lin Xu still felt his scalp numb. After taking a day off, he hurried back home on an electric bike and ran up to the third floor without stopping.

Inside the house, he seemed could hear Lin Qingying’s voice. Lin Xu took out his key. However, before he could open the door, Lin Qingyin’s Mother‘s pushed open the door. Lin Qingyin’s Mother sighed when she saw his face covered with sweat: “I told you, don’t worry.”

Lin Xu entered the house in a daze. Lin Qingyin was holding a fried dough stick in her hand, so she waved her other hand at him: “Dad, you’re back?”

Lin Xu looked at his daughter and then his wife. He was very confused: “Why did you ask me to come back? A lot of money will be deducted for taking a day off!”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother didn’t go in circles, she directly handed the paper bag to him: “Your daughter gave us 200,000 yuan. She wants us to resign and open a small shop.”

Lin Xu was stunned after seeing the money inside the paper bag. His legs also soften and almost fell: “Where did she get so much money? Is it another scholarship?”

Speaking about the source of the money, Lin Qingyin’s Mother’s expression was very complicated: “Qingyin went out to give divination.”

“Huh?” Lin Xu hurriedly stretched out his arm and scratched his ear: “I seemed to have tinnitus, you say it again, I didn’t hear it.”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother repeated it word by word: “Qingyin went out to give others divination and made 200,000 yuan!”

Lin Xu was startled with the information he heard. Then, he looked at the girl who was eating dough sticks next to him in disbelief. He felt like he was dreaming.

It seems he hasn’t slept too much recently, so he was having hallucinations?

Why he doesn’t know that his daughter could give divination?

Lin Qingyin swallowed the dough sticks in her mouth and corrected the matter earnestly: “Mom, I didn’t have time to say it just now. I kept all the money for fortune-telling. These 200,000 yuan was the reward I received for choosing an ancestral grave for others.”

Lin Xu hadn’t recovered from the shock of the fortune-telling, and now became even more disturbed after hearing the word ancestral grave: “Ancestral grave? This, you can’t simply choose a random place from others. Otherwise, you’ll get into trouble! How is their family now?”

Lin Qingyin estimated the time and calmly said: “They are pretty good. It is estimated that they will soon go bankrupt!”

Lin Xu was dizzy and almost fell. He felt like crying when he said: “Daughter, you are cheating people! Won’t they send you to prison?”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother was also a little dazed by the amount of information she heard. However, she already witnessed her daughter’s skill early this morning. Her daughter must have reason to do this.

Lin Qingyin picked up another fritter, ripped it open, dipped it in the soy milk, and took a bite. The taste was satisfying.

“Their family was so greedy that they let a scam master moved their ancestral grave to an evil place. Because of this, someone died in their family.” Lin Qingyin said lightly and added: “I helped him solve this dilemma and choose another place with good feng shui. This will help their future generations to have a healthy life.”

Lin Xu felt like he got more and more confused instead: “Then, why are they going to get bankrupt?”

“The fortune gained in exchange for human life will naturally have backlash.” Lin Qingyin looked at Lin Xu, who was a little worried and said helplessly: “Dad, don’t worry. Their family knows that they will go bankrupt. But they thanked me with all their hearts! ”
