The Daily Melon-Eating Life of an Annoying Sister-in-Law in the 80s

As a Celestial Master, Hua Xiangyun, after years of hard work, was finally able to form a contract with the Nine Lotus Cauldron, a treasured artifact left by her grandmaster. Unexpectedly, somethin...

Chapter 167 Setting up a stall

Tian Guihua wouldn't let this opportunity pass by and kick Bai Zhaodi while she was down. "I say, Comrade Lei, you're too rigid. She's just giving you advice on how to be a wife."

"Such valuable experience shouldn't be kept to yourself. Her nieces-in-law from the Bai family often come over, but your Aunt Bai has been holding back for them, not passing on this invaluable experience. You'll have to give them some pointers later. You can't always prioritize your husband's family and alienate your own family."

Lei Dachui looked enlightened. "Auntie is right. I remember my mother had several of her sisters from the same village who married into that family. I'll have my mother go and visit them sometime. How can we not spread the good idea of ​​the Bai family's aunt who is so devoted to her own family?"

Bai Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat. If this really happened, how could she dare to go back to her parents' home? Her nephews would probably eat her alive.

She vividly remembered how strictly her sister-in-law managed her daughters-in-law. If they didn't bring something back to their husbands' homes during holidays, she would give them a hard time.

But she couldn't refute it here, after all, she knew what she had said in the courtyard.

Many young wives took her advice and became extra attentive to their parents' families.

She knew that running into Tian Guihua would never end well, and glared at her fiercely, "Sure enough, you're the most cunning and wicked person in the whole compound, you can't stand seeing others doing well."

Tian Guihua snorted coldly, "Remember this, everyone: I will not offend others unless they offend me."

When have you ever seen me deliberately cause trouble?

She didn't have the patience to listen to the rest. Having achieved her goal, she took her beloved granddaughter's hand and headed back. "Even though the sun is out these two days and the snow has melted, it's still very cold outside."

Why waste time talking to irrelevant people when you're home? Isn't a cup of hot tea more appealing?

Bai Zhaodi, who didn't care, "..."

Hua Xiangyun: "Grandma, it's so cold outside..."

The Lantern Festival was unusually quiet. In the morning, everyone went to the streets to watch a waist drum performance and listen to a few songs, and that was the end of the festival.

"Classes start tomorrow, have you prepared everything?" Tian Guihua came to Hua Xiangyun's room. "See if there's anything else you need to buy, and ask your second brother to go with you."

As he spoke, he took out a few more ten-yuan bills and gave them to Hua Xiangyun, saying, "Spend what you need to spend, don't be stingy with the family."

Hua Xiangyun reached out and pushed it away, saying, "Grandma, I haven't finished using the ones you gave me before."

She always felt guilty about taking money from the elderly, and she had almost finished earning her own money, so it was time to find a way to fill her pockets.

Clutching the money the old lady insisted on giving her, Hua Xiangyun arrived at the black market in the county town.

If she hadn't made numerous inquiries beforehand, she would never have imagined that the black market was just across the street, right around the corner from the junkyard.

There aren't people here every day; it's just that everyone tacitly chooses to come on weekends.

Today happens to be the weekend, and Hua Xiangyun came just in time to join in the fun.

For safety reasons, in addition to covering her face completely, she also put a magic talisman on herself, making it impossible for people to remember her appearance and figure.

However, it seems that everyone here shares the same thought as her, and given the cold weather, everyone is covering their heads and faces.

She has nothing to sell now; the only thing she can offer is fortune telling at her stall.

Walking through the alley, I discovered the wonder of this place.

The alleyways here are interconnected, and there are many small paths leading to different places, so if an investigation really happens, everyone has many escape routes.

I heard they were investigated several times, but nothing was found, and then no one came back.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, Hua Xiangyun chose an auspicious spot for the day – a flat piece of land at the corner.

This corner was just the right spot for her to squat down.

Pick up the stick, smooth the ground, write a few words on the tip of the stick, and perform three divinations every day, only seeking those with affinity.

She had barely finished writing when people gathered around.

I thought there was something good for sale, but it turns out it was just a charade.

"I'm telling you..." Zhu Xiaofei was stunned when he started to speak. Was the person in front of him a man or a woman, old or young? How come he couldn't see clearly?

People nearby whispered, "What are they doing? Are they defying the rules?"

Coming to the black market is one thing, but to do this kind of thing is just asking for trouble.

"Shh, if you really run into someone with real skills, you might offend them with what you just said."

We're here to buy things, so let's not join the crowd and just leave!

These words resonated with many people, and the crowd that had been gathered around gradually dispersed.

Zhu Xiaofei squatted down opposite him and kept looking at him, but he couldn't make out what he looked like no matter what.

"Master, how is this divination performed?"

Hua Xiangyun had noticed him long ago. "You're the first customer, so pay whatever you think is appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaofei felt uncertain yet inexplicably convinced.

"I came out in a hurry today and only brought two pieces with me. Can you do a divination for me?" Zhu Xiaofei also tried to lean against the corner of the wall and lowered his voice.

Actually, he had more money in his pocket than that; he was being cautious and wanted to see if the other party's calculations were accurate.

Even if it's inaccurate, he'll only lose two dollars at most, which he can consider a lesson learned and a chance to remember.

Hua Xiangyun stuffed a few ancient coins into his hand, saying, "Please throw these on the ground."

"The Great Five Emperors Coins," Zhu Xiaofei felt more at ease.

"This first deal is quite interesting," Hua Xiangyun chuckled. "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge."

Zhu Xiaofei first threw the coins on the ground, and the copper coins immediately scattered.

Hua Xiangyun chose divination for a reason; in this place, no one wanted to show their true face. Divination was just right, and perfectly appropriate.

"Let me tell you, I'm not easily fooled. You know, some of my ancestors did this kind of work, but a lot of things were lost over time." Zhu Xiaofei didn't understand why he could never see the person in front of him clearly, and he couldn't even tell if the voice was male or female.

Suppressing his curiosity, he watched the other person staring at the copper coin on the ground and said, "If you can't give me a reason, I'm leaving."

“What’s troubling you most right now is your marriage,” Hua Xiangyun said, picking up the five-emperor coins and putting them back in her pocket. “Five years ago, you had a marriage and three children, all of whom you raised.”

"Your luck has been good lately; someone is probably talking to you about marriage, and you're currently struggling with the decision."

Zhu Xiaofei's eyes lit up; he really did have real skills.

He didn't think this person could recognize him; given his current state of being wrapped up, even his own parents wouldn't recognize him.

"So, do you think this marriage will work out?" Zhu Xiaofei asked with exceptional sincerity. "I hope you can give me some guidance, Master."

Hua Xiangyun: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Zhu Xiaofei sighed before saying, "I admit I'm tempted. I didn't want to look for someone before because I was afraid they wouldn't treat my children well, but now the children are older and more sensible..."
