Chapter 36: Two minutes (Part 3)

Zhang Qiao has never been in contact with this kind of thing, but his daughter’s life was saved by the other party. No need to mention buying an amulet, he was willing to give any amount if she asks!

But the principal of the school believed in this kind of thing which was very surprising. The little master treated his hair loss, so he became her fan?

So superstitious!

“Little Master!” Hearing that everyone called Lin Qingyin the Little Master, Zhang Qiao also called out like this: “I want to buy an amulet for Miaomiao.”

Lin Qingyin took out a stone and a carving knife from her bag: “What is her eight-character?”

Most people now ask about the date of birth, very few speak about their eight characters. Zhang Qiao didn’t know what the eight-character was, so he honestly told Lin Qingyin his daughter’s birth date.

Lin Qingyin didn’t speak after she heard about it, she quietly sat on the co-pilot and quickly carved complicated patterns on the stone. Zhang Qiao looked dazzled. He couldn’t help but ask Principal Wang in a low voice: “What is the Little Master doing?”

“She makes amulets for your daughter.” Principal Wang was already familiar with the amulets produced by Lin Qingyin: “There are several types of amulets produced by the Little Master. The jade is the most expensive, while the paper is the cheapest. Although the effect of the stone is not as good as the jade, it’s most cost-effective than the yellow paper!” He pulled the red bag from his neck like a treasure: “This is the hair growth charm I asked from the Little Master. The effect is good. My hair no longer falls, and new hair is growing.”

Zhang Qiao looked at Principal Wang suspiciously, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch the top of his hair that has been sparse in recent days.

Does this thing work?

When Fatty Wang parked the car downstairs of the Zhang Family’s house, Lin Qingyin handed the engraved amulet to Zhang Simiao and solemnly said: “You were frightened today. After taking a hot bath, you must wear the amulet close to your body, just like Principal Wang does.”

Zhang Simiao took the amulet carefully. Everything that happened tonight was like a dream. Lin Qingyin’s ability opened her eyes. Her father bought this amulet out of favor, but she really believed it.

After all, for someone who can call out thunder, carving an amulet was simply too simple.

Zhang Qiao transferred 20,000 yuan according to Lin Qingyin’s talent fee and asked for leave for his daughter: “Rest at home for a few days and see a psychiatrist. You will go to school when you’re all right.”

Zhang Simiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, “I want to live in the dormitory. I don’t want to toss back and forth like this every day. It’s too tiring.”

Zhang Qiao hesitated for a while, but he didn’t immediately agree or refuse. He only said they will discuss it further. Watching Zhang’s father and daughter going upstairs, Wang Qingfeng realized that he had forgotten a major event.

When he recruited Lin Qingyin in the beginning, he only waved her tuition fee. He didn’t give her an accommodation fee!

Although Lin Qingyin’s current financial ability doesn’t care about accommodation costs, Principal Wang felt that he should express his attitude first. What’s more, with Lin Qingyin living in the school. Does he still have to worry about school accidents?

Principal Wang silently praised his wit!

“Little Master, would you like to live on campus too? The accommodation fee is free!”

Lin Qingyin pondered for a moment and asked seriously: “It doesn’t matter. I just want to ask if the meal fee can be waived? The food in our school is delicious, but it is too expensive! I have to spend 200 yuan per day just for a meal.”

Principal Wang: “… …”

The meals in the school cafeteria are not expensive at all. Little Master, how much food do you eat to spend 200 yuan per day?!!

Principal Wang shook his head firmly: “This is not good. Let’s talk about free accommodation!”

  1. haha Principal Wang is so smart! Killing 2 birds with 1 stone…

    Thousand Thanks for your beautiful translation.

    Here’s to wishing you a wonderful, peaceful and safe 2021. 🙂

  2. If she starts a side business selling hair-growing charms, she’ll be rich in no time.

    Don’t underestimate the appetite of a cultivating teenager 😂

  3. She needs to eat a lot because she lugs around bags of river stones.

    Teachers and principals are often made the bad guys in novels, here we have kind and well-meaning ones, love it! He is a good principal even if he failed to discipline rotten rich kids out of his schools out of fear to their powerful parents.

  4. For a meal, 200 yuan is indeed expensive for a school cafeteria. In France, for a meal in a university cafeteria, it would cost way more less than 100 yuan.
    For 2023-2024, a meal in university will cost 25 yuan barely here. For poor student, it will cost even less, barely 8 yuan (if converting euro to yuan) thanks to various help!
