But after the original owner entered the Dongfang International High School, only then she understood what people called a demon. As a top student in the high school entrance exam that often being mentioned by the teachers, she was squeezed out by her classmates. Her table was always covered with paint, or there were nails on her chair. The half-open door always has a bucket on the top. Slowly, she had become accustomed to these small things. What was unbearable for the original owner was that they attack her parents who were only small workers. They always attack her poor family. In this kind of atmosphere, the original owner couldn’t focus on her studies at all. So in the final exam of the first year, she took the 35th place, which caused the whole class relentlessly ridiculed her.

The original owner was just a 15 or 16 years old student. No matter how sensible she was, she couldn’t bear the pressure. After she took her report, she didn’t go home. She jumped directly to the Xiaofu River, not far from the public park.

Lin Qingyin woke up at that time.

Anyway, there was indeed a cause and effect events between her and the original owner. What Lin Qingyin can do for her is to take care of her parents and fulfill her wish to enter the university.

She went back to her room and flipped through the books. Although the knowledge was stored in her brain, she seemed to have a gap with her. She can recognize them all at first glance, but couldn’t understand it. Lin Qingyin recalled the knowledge system mastered by the original master and looked for several books of the main subjects in junior high school.

Stop complaining, just study to learn!

After reading books for two days at home, Lin Qingyin felt refreshed when she walked out of the house on Thursday morning. She still loves fortune-telling more than studying.

She ran to the public park and went to the place she sat last time. She took out her cardboard and placed it in front of her.

After sitting for a while, she saw Fatty Wang from a distance walking towards her, holding something in his hand. When she saw it, Lin Qingyin’s eyes lit up and ran over.

“I knew you will still carry that cardboard this time. That cardboard is damaging your master style!” Fatty Wang said as he unfolded the thing in his hand and said with excitement: “This is written by a Calligrapher Master I found. It’s only a few words, nut it cost me 5,000 yuan!”

Lin Qingyin stared at the words “Fortune Telling”, “1000 yuan per divination”, and “only cash” written on the scroll. She felt that she had found a way to make more money than fortune-telling. She can write better than this!

Looking at Fatty Wang’s smug face, Lin Qingyin tried to hold back and didn’t hit him. This prodigal son living a good life only because of his ancestor’s blessings. If it wasn’t the case, he has long starved to death!

Lin Qingyin sat cross-legged on the grass beneath the ancient tree. Fatty Wang could only sit on the side with stretched out legs, looking so embarrassed.

“Have you memorize that book?” Lin Qingyin said while throwing the small stones on her hand. When she felt the temperature was just right, she looked up at Fatty Wang and said: “Recite them back to me.”

Fatty Wang’s face turned red in shame. This time, he really put a lot of effort into it than when he was in school, but he was not smart. It took him two days to memorize half a page.

Fatty Wang wiped his face and tried to recall the contents of the book. After stating two words, he heard a scream nearby. Fatty Wang was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he almost curses. What kind of scream was that?

“It’s this little girl!” The enthusiastic Aunt Li rushed over excitedly: “It was her who gave the little policeman divination that day!”

Ma Mingyu went to the hospital with a colleague that day and to undergo a gastroscopy test. After finishing the procedure, the doctor handed him a consent letter and said that he will take a sample from his stomach for biopsy, then asked him to pay for biopsy. Ma Mingyu was stunned when he heard of this. Two days later, when the biopsy result came out, he has undergone another series of tests. After that, the doctor told him that he has an early stage of gastric cancer and directly gave him an admission slip.

Aunt Li has been thinking about this matter, she visits the police station every morning to ask about Ma Mingyu’s situation. As soon as she heard that he was hospitalized with stomach cancer, she went home to cooked chicken soup and visited that pony. When she came back, she fought with Aunt Zhang, saying that she almost delayed Ma Mingyu’s treatment.

Aunt Zhang was so angry with Aunt Li for her nonsense. That Little Policeman looked young, how could he get stomach cancer? She must have been fooled by that fortune teller girl.

Seeing that the two were arguing, the enthusiastic onlookers in the public park called the police. Fortunately, the police station has long been used to dealing with such trivial things for so many years, and once they came over, they skillfully separated the two.

As soon as Aunt Li saw that the policemen were from the Police Station near the park. She dragged one of them in front of Aunt Zhang and asked: “Tell her, is pony hospitalized?”

“Pony?” The policeman was stunned for a moment: “Do you mean Ma Mingyu? Oh, you don’t have to worry. His family came to take care of him. He will undergo an operation next week. The doctor said that he was very fortunate to discover it early. As long as the lesion was cut off, he will be fine. His recovery rate is more than 90%”

Aunt Li looked at the dumbfounded crowd, and proudly raised her chin towards Aunt Zhang: “See? I’m right!”

In an instant, Aunt Li was surrounded by the old ladies around the park. These old people believed in this kind of thing. It’s just, there were too many scammers these days. Only a few have real skills. So naturally, they don’t want to waste money. But now that there was a real master, they want to inquire about it. In case something happens to their family, relatives, or friends in the future, they want to look for this person.

Hearing everyone’s eloquent questions about the fortune teller master, Aunt Li pointed her finger at Aunt Zhang and angrily said: “The little girl was scared by her, she didn’t come here for two days now.”

Aunt Zhang crossed her arms but didn’t say a word. Listening to their words, the policemen don’t know whether they should laugh or cry. However, they still advised them not to promote feudal superstition according to the regulations, then left.

Aunt Zhang recalled things that day and murmured inside her heart. She fought with Aunt Li for so many years, she mustn’t let her win. When that fortune teller little girl come back next time, she must expose her. While Aunt Li, she thought inside her mind that when the little master comes back, she must clean up this old woman’s face!

Aunt Li thought that the fortune-telling little girl had been scared by Aunt Zhang before, so she didn’t dare to come back again. Unexpectedly, she saw her as soon as she arrived at the public park today, and so she screamed in excitement. The old ladies, who were practicing tai chi, ran fast in a hurry. The fortune-telling stall was surrounded by people in an instant.

Lin Qingyin proudly raised her chin towards the dumbfounded Fatty Wang: Didn’t I tell you, there will be a business today!
