Since she has worry in her heart, she didn’t think of any other way, she made an appointment directly with Master Wang. She waited for more than half a year, and finally, it was finally her turn.
“Little Master, my surname is Wang, and my name is Yongzhen.” Aunt Wang sat on the bamboo bench, took a sip of the tea that Lin Qingyin handed over, and then sighed and said: “I came here for my daughter. She made a boyfriend in the second half of last year. The young man looks handsome and has a good family. But I don’t know why, every time I watch him get along with my daughter, I feel very awkward. I always feel weird.”
Aunt Wang showed a tangled look: “He treats my daughter badly and very considerate. He buys cosmetics and clothes for my daughter on every occasion. But if you ask me if he is good, I think he doesn’t really put my daughter in his heart. It was more like of a pretense.”
An uncle sitting below was very familiar with Aunt Wang, so when he heard what Aunt Wang said, he couldn’t help but complain: “You women are really troublesome. You don’t know what is good or bad. If people don’t really love your daughter why would he waste his time to be with your daughter? Do you think he has a lot of time? What do you think he is planning?”
Aunt Wang patted her thigh: “That’s what I want the little master to figure out for me. I want to know what he is planning to do. We, women’s intuition is accurate. Although I don’t understand it, there must be something going on here.”
Lin Qingyin looked at Aunt Wang’s face: “From the look of your face, your daughter’s relationship has some twists and turns. But the specific thing has to be seen from their faces.”
Aunt Wang immediately took out several photos from her bag and handed them to Lin Qingyin: “I learned photography from a senior university, and I took this photo when she came to my house during the Chinese New Year!”
Lin Qingyin smiled when she saw the photo. Aunt Wang’s photo was taken for fortune-telling purposes. The photos didn’t have any nonsense at all. They were focused and a close-up. She can even see the moles on her daughter’s face. To make the little master’s calculation more accurate, Aunt Wang not only prepared the full face, but also the two sides and the back of the head, which were very detailed. What was more, she also brought the palm prints of her daughter.
Lin Qingyin can’t deny that this kind of high-definition photo without blurring, filters, and beautification was the most accurate way to look at people’s fortune. It also saved her a lot of trouble.
Lin Qingyin picked up the photo of Aunt Wang’s daughter and looked at it a few times. Then she looked at her palm prints and said: “You have some difficulties with your offspring. After you gave birth to this daughter, you dote on her, right?”
“Well, when I was young, I kept going back and forth in the well because of work. My body got cold. After I got married, I didn’t get pregnant for several years. I can’t tell anymore how much Chinese and Western medicine I took. When I turn 35, I became pregnant with her. So how can I not pamper her?” Aunt Wang sighed: “I put all my hard work on her, and I don’t ask her to be rich and noble, I just want her to have a happy little family.”
Lin Qingyin tapped the photo with her finger: “Your daughter was born full of expectation and love of her parents. She has no worries about food and clothing. She has never lived too far from her parents since she was born, and she has never worried about anything.”
Aunt Wang said immediately: “Yes, she went from elementary school to university in Qi City. When she was in university, she went back home every three days. Anyway, she can arrive at home in 10 minutes when riding a car.”
“Generally speaking, her life has been pretty smooth. She never experienced any setbacks in life, and had never seen the sinister heart of the people.” Lin Qingyin shook her head: “At first glance, she’s simple and very easy to deceive type of a person.”

“He treats my daughter badly and very considerate” probably should be “he doesn’t treat my daughter badly.”
Yeah, very confused about those parts…So is he treating her good or badly? Which is it? Or is it supoosed to be bad but also good? Not sure where that went wrong or if I am just having trouble understanding it in my part. Fairly certain it isn’t me though.
Yeah. It’s confusing and this site isn’t the only translation with this problem. Add in my experience with MTL, I can guess where this “special nuance” comes from. But, everytime I encountered it, I’m always not sure whether the author really mean the “good” and “bad” in this nuance or mean it in the general/normal definition. I wish the translator would give it special note when they mean the “good” and “bad” in this special nuance.
There’s this terms of calling a pushover and/or weak people as soft persimmon. The real fruit soft persimmons are well matured persimmon, deliciously sweet and softly squishy. It’s overall good. So, sometimes, some authors use “good” as adjective for weak people who’s easily overwhelmed and taken advantage of. And use “bad” as adjective for people who has condition and/or personality to fight for what they want.
Which Auntie Wang this one is? I feel like there multiples of Auntie Wang in the story. The author really likes that surname.
