"Hello host, hello everyone! I'm Xiao Xie Bu Kai Hua, and I'm very happy to be able to connect with you on this live stream!"

The girl in the video was about eighteen or nineteen years old, looking like a college student, very youthful and energetic.

She is a lively, lovely, confident, and generous girl.

The live chat exploded with comments, as everyone vied to greet the pretty girl.

Mingzhuo's gaze lingered on her face for two seconds. "What do you want to calculate?"

Xiao Xie, propping her chin up with her hand, said, "I haven't decided yet... That woman looking for her child on the trending topics is so pitiful, how about the streamer helps her calculate something?"

Mingzhuo asked coldly, "Are you sure?"

Xiao Xie didn't bloom: "Then forget it. How about the streamer calculates when my dad will make a fortune and buy me a big house?"

She chuckled again after she finished speaking, "If this doesn't work, then forget it. Actually, I have a harmonious family, and my parents dote on me. Oh, and I also have a younger brother. Although my parents come from the countryside, they have never favored boys over girls. On the contrary, they treat me much better than my brother!"

This is the thing she is most proud of. Whenever someone talks about the preference for sons over daughters, she will say, "Oh, how could that be? My family doesn't do that."

"Actually, my parents aren't very educated. They came to the provincial capital to open a fruit shop a few years ago, and they're very open-minded. My dad said that the majority of the family fortune would be mine in the future, so I'm a 'daddy's girl'."

The comments section was filled with envy.

[You can tell this young lady is very happy.]

Children who are pampered by their families are often exceptionally confident; I envy this young lady's confidence.

Why do I feel like the way you're showing off is full of superiority? I don't like the tone of your voice.

Of course, it's okay for people to show off their happy lives.

Wait, didn't everyone notice that the streamer's tone was a little off?

Xiao Xie glanced at the comments and felt a little unhappy. Her smile faded. She wondered if the streamer was jealous of her.

Like her roommates, every time she says she's a "daddy's girl," her expression immediately turns cold.

These people are unhappy in their own lives, yet they insist that everyone else should be like them. They are extremely annoying!

Mingzhuo suddenly spoke up, "If that's all you're thinking about, then I can tell you definitively that your father won't get rich, and you won't have a big house to live in."

Xiao Xie paused, then became somewhat angry, "If you can't tell fortunes, don't talk nonsense!"

Is she sick in the head? She paid money to have her fortune told, and she talks to her like that? That's too much. Does she even know what service is?

Can't you even say something auspicious to appease people?

"Nannan, who are you talking to?" Someone sat up on the bed next to her.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of the camera.

“Mom,” Xiao Xie called out, explaining, “I’m watching a live stream, the one I mentioned last time, the one where the person I was looking for a husband with a famous writer.”

She entered the live stream because of Lanze's story, and thought it was fun so she gave a tip. She didn't expect to actually succeed in giving a tip and grab the second spot for today.

Middle-aged woman: "That fortune teller? He must be really good at it."

Cheng Jinlan has been feeling very tired these past few days, often feeling drowsy and prone to getting lost in dreams, having many chaotic dreams.

She came to visit her daughter at her university today. She originally planned to just stay in a small hotel, but after her daughter begged her, the two of them ended up staying at a very nice hotel.

She had just fallen asleep when she felt something pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe, and that's when she woke up.

Looking at the woman's tired face, Mingzhuo suddenly asked, "Auntie, do you want your fortune told?"

Cheng Jinlan was taken aback for a moment, but Xiao Xie had already pulled her down to sit.

"In that case, host, you should know how to catch ghosts, right? My mom keeps dreaming about dead people lately, why don't you help her catch that ghost?"

Cheng Jinlan's expression changed slightly. "Don't talk nonsense! There are no ghosts at all!"

She wanted to leave the camera's view, but Mingzhuo said, "Okay."

Xiao Xie became excited immediately: "You can really catch ghosts? Then let me see what ghosts look like."

Cheng Jinlan panicked and tried to turn off the live stream. "Nannan, stop messing around! You're a streamer, right? I don't need to catch ghosts, so don't meddle!"

This was the first time Xiao Xie had ever seen her mother so anxious, and she was a little bewildered.

"Mom, you really encountered a ghost? Of course we have to catch it! Don't drag my dad into this!"

The viewers in the live chat were completely bewildered. What was going on?

There's definitely something going on here.

Could that ghost be a relative of my aunt?

Cheng Jinlan was so anxious that tears were about to fall. Mingzhuo sighed, "Auntie, don't cry. Do you want to know where your son is?"

This sentence seemed nonsensical, but Xiao Xie, who didn't seem to understand, suddenly grasped its meaning.

The parents had two sons; the younger brother lived in their hometown. That left only one possibility.

"The ghost haunting my mother is my debt-collecting brother?" Xiao Xie's expression changed drastically. "My God, he's been dead for so many years, yet he's still haunting our family. Is this why my dad can't get rich?"

Mingzhuo coldly said, "It seems you know a lot, but what does your family's inability to get rich have to do with your brother?"

Cheng Jinlan said in a trembling voice, "Xie Cheng is not a debt collector!"

Mingzhuo sighed. The term "debt collector" is popular in many rural areas.

In ancient times, a child who died before reaching adulthood was considered a ghost coming to collect a debt from your family, because he had wasted his parents' hard work and money.

Such children will only bring unrest and misfortune to the family, constantly causing trouble and leading to financial losses or even family ruin and death.
