Chapter 6: The unlucky Jiang Wei (Part 1)

“Pull back your feet, you almost stumble me!” Aunt Li kicked Fatty Wang’s feet in disgust and then turned her head to greet the uncles and aunts: “Everyone, come around quietly. Don’t make any noise. Someone looked unhappy.” She raised her chin and coldly snorted at Aunt Zhang, who was standing on the side.

Seeing so many people coming, Fatty Wang immediately put the endorsement behind him and climbed up with joy to maintain order: “If you want to know your fortune please come forward. If not, please stay on both sides as to not delay the time. The price is 1,000 yuan per divination, Master only accept cash. If you don’t have cash, you can come here and scan the code to exchange for cash.” He said and then took out a brand-new stack of hundred yuan bills and slapped it to his palm twice: “I just went to the bank yesterday and get this new bills.”

Lin Qingyin looked at Fatty Wang with approval. Although he was not suitable for fortune-telling business, he was good at soliciting business. He saved her a lot of trouble.

The uncles and aunts were a little hesitant when they saw Lin Qingyin’s appearance. And when they heard the price of fortune-telling, they suddenly didn’t want to step forward. In their point of view, this kind of thing only costs a few pieces of money. 1,000 yuan was too much. However, they were also reluctant to leave. After all, Aunt Li said that this little girl was a real master. They all wanted to see if it’s true or not.

Lin Qingyin was not impatient. She looked around and then spoke to the young man, sitting nearby: “Do you want me to tell your fortune?”

The young man was immersed in his own thoughts when suddenly a clear voice broke his closed world. He looked towards the direction of the voice, only to find that there were so many around him. Seeing a group of uncles and aunts staring at himself eagerly, the young man took three steps backward and almost fled in fright.

“Isn’t this the grandson of Old Jiang?” An Aunt whispered to the person next to her. However, this person covered her mouth and nodded her head towards Lin Qingyin. Her meaning was obvious. She’s telling her not to leak out information.

Seeing the young man’s timid appearance and almost wanted to run, Fatty Wang quickly stepped forward to help Lin Qingyin: “Boy, seeing you look so depressed, you must be in trouble, right? If you have any concerns, please come forward and let the master give you divination. Maybe you will have a new idea.”

Those words seemed to have swayed the young man’s heart. He looked at Lin Qingyin, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, and came over with some suspicion: “She is a master?” He looked at the price in the endorsement and then looked at the group of familiar uncles and aunts: “Isn’t she really a fortune-teller master such a young age?”

An Uncle cheerfully encourage him: “You will know after you try.”

“Okay.” The young man smiled and pulled out his mobile phone to transfer money: “Anyway, I have more than a thousand yuan, I’ll just spend it.”

After transferring the money to Fatty Wang, Fatty Wang counted 1000 yuan and put it in Lin Qingyin’s bag. The onlookers stepped behind, leaving a place for the young man to sit on the ground.

Lin Qingyin looked at the young man’s luck and fortune, which was covered with dark clouds. She looked at him sympathetically and said: “What should I call you?”

“My name is Jiang Wei.”

“Jiang Wei!” Lin Qingyin nodded: “Should I tell you your fortune or measure your character?”

“Is there any difference?” Jiang Wei wiped his face and said with no emotion: “Just do whatever you want. Anyway, I don’t know anything about it. I don’t know what to do even if you figure out my situation.”

Lin Qingyin handed over the pen and paper: “Write your eight characters.”

Jiang Wei had a copy of his birth certificate, which has a record of his exact birth date and time. He remembered it well.

Lin Qingyin only took a glanced at Jiang Wei’s eight characters and put it aside. She’s not the person who likes to talk flowery words, so she explained things to him in the simplest way: “You were born with a great fortune in life. When you were born, your parents didn’t encounter problems in business. They were able to save a lot of money and give you the best living environment. Your good fortune penetrates deeply to your bones, and your lucky enough to be the top 1… …”

“That’s right!” Before Lin Qingyin could finish, Aunt Li couldn’t help but slapped her thigh: “After this kid was born, the Jiang Family became successful, and he became the top 1 in the college entrance examination.” She propped her chin towards Aunt Zhang, the looked in her face has an obvious meaning.

Aunt Zhang snorted and muttered: “Maybe she heard it to someone else.” However, she still didn’t go away. She had a good relationship with Jiang Wei’s grandmother, so she wanted to see if this little girl can guess accurately. If Jiang Wei was being cheated, she can stop him.

Lin Qingyin continued: “From the look on your face, you can excel in whatever profession you choose. It’s just your Yin Tang, has been covered by shadow for 2 years now. Your family’s business has declined, your family’s savings are all gone, your road to good education have been blocked, and your love life became hopeless. You can’t get success in anything.”

After Lin Qingyin said these words, the sound of gasping for breath came one after another. The uncles and aunts looked at Lin Qingyin differently. They were the old Jiang couple’s neighbors. When the Jiang Family became rich, their son wanted them to move in their new mansion. However, the old couple couldn’t bear to refuse their neighbor’s persuasion to stay, and so they still lived in this old community. So the Jiang Family became rich and then poor, they all have witnessed it.
