The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 173 Misfortune
"Yeah, adults can't see it, isn't it said that only us kids can see it?" Another boy agreed, but he also frowned, and then said: "But we won't watch it for a few days. Although this guy's somersaults are beautiful, we don't know what it is. My mother said that it's a little devil raised by someone else. It's so lively and cute now, but it may get angry one day and hurt people."
"So scary? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I won't come to see you next time."
"What are you afraid of? We didn't do anything bad, so why would that little devil come looking for us? And my mother also said that these little devils only care about money and not life. They want money and hate others to touch their money. They will only bring bad luck to people but won't take their lives. We don't have to be afraid. If we have to be afraid, it should be the owner of this shop. Their business is so prosperous, it will definitely make the little devil unhappy. When the little devil gets really angry, this shop will be finished."
The boy continued, "I'm afraid that not only this shop, but also the people who bought things from it will be tainted by bad luck. Not only will they lose money, but their luck will also be ruined."
"Luck is the most mysterious thing. If your luck changes and your fate is altered, it will be difficult to turn things around in this lifetime..."
"Really? You are so young and you are talking nonsense here. Go away. Don't scare people here."
Some of the people who came to buy tofu listened to the boy's words, especially when they heard that one's luck would get worse after buying the thing, they immediately tried to drive them away with some unhappiness.
"Don't disbelieve me, my mother is the famous Bai Banxianer on West Street. How could what she told me be false?"
The child raised his eyebrows and continued, "If you still don't believe me, go to my mother's stall and ask. Besides, this shop has always had bad feng shui and a bad reputation because it's the little devil's territory. No one can stop it."
"But after this tofu shop opened, the business was pretty good. What I said to you can't be said to be true. What you said is not true." Someone else said.
"My mother said that it's because the man who runs this shop has a strong horoscope, so he can suppress it temporarily. But a person with a strong horoscope doesn't necessarily work. This little devil has also been cultivating slowly. Now, this little devil is getting more and more powerful, and slowly he can't be suppressed anymore." The child replied.
"Hey, don't say that, there seems to be some truth in what you said. I heard that the owner of this shop is a little girl, and she is an orphan. She can protect her parents from death. This fate is probably hard, and it is just suppressed temporarily."
"If that's the case, then should we buy this tofu or not? The tofu here is really delicious, especially the hot tofu..."
"You can buy it if you want. I won't. It tastes delicious, but if my luck is ruined, what will I do in the future?"
"That does make some sense, but I won't buy it..."
The two people who were talking, even though they were reluctant to leave, kept looking back at the tofu shop every few steps. But when they thought of what the child had just said, they hardened their hearts and left.
Some of the people who were listening nearby and had not yet entered the shop, didn't care at all, went into the shop, bought what they wanted, and left happily, while others, after thinking for a while, turned around and left.
Zhuang Qingning watched here for a while and found that among these four or five people, one or two turned around and left.
The boy who was talking about the little ghost patted the other three children who were still looking up at the roof with interest and said, "Let's go. My mother said it's not good to look at it for a long time. After all, it is a thing with strong yin energy and is not good for us."
After hearing what was said, the three children followed the boy and were about to leave.
"Wait a moment." Zhuang Qingning called out to the boy in the lead.
"Sister, what's the matter?" The boy looked up at Zhuang Qingning and said, "If you still want to know about this little brat, then you have to go ask my mother. I don't know much."
"My mother is setting up a stall on West Street. She is blind, so it is easy for her to spot her there. If you can't find her, just ask anyone and she will be there."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning smiled and nodded in agreement: "You guys should hurry up and go slowly on the road."
"Okay." The child led the others and skipped away.
"Ning girl." Cao finished her work and walked out of the shop with a rolling pin in her hand: "Where are those rascals?"
"Gone." Zhuang Qingning replied lightly.
"They got a good deal." Cao was immediately indignant: "I don't know where they came from. They have been talking nonsense here all day long these days, causing our shop's business to decline."
"You were busy when you came here just now. I was thinking about telling you about this, but I didn't have time to tell you. You just saw it. Those little kids came to our place at this time, saying something like a green monkey doing somersaults or a little ghost having bad luck. They were full of nonsense."
"It's not all nonsense." Zhuang Qingning laughed: "Who knows, there really is a little devil in our shop."
"I said..." Zhang Qiuying's face turned pale, and she stretched out her hand to grab Cao's sleeve: "I said that children might be able to see things that adults can't see, but mother didn't believe it. Look, mother, now even Sister Ning says there is a ghost..."
"The little devil I'm talking about is not that ghost."

Seeing how scared Zhang Qiuying was, Zhuang Qingning laughed, "I'm talking about that brat who was thinking of some sinister tricks behind the scenes and wanted to ruin the reputation of this shop."
"Sister Ning, what do you mean by this..."
Zhang Qiuying didn't understand.
"What your sister Ning meant was that there were these little devils and bad feng shui. It was because someone was looking at our shop's booming business and wanted to cause trouble."
Cao explained, and then said indignantly: "This person is too hateful. Is he the rabbit? He only has red eyes all day long?"
"Because your own business is not doing well, you become jealous of others' good business every day. You don't think carefully. It's strange that your own business can be good if you keep staring at others all day long."
"If we can find this person, we must drag him out and bring him before the head of the pavilion to give him a good beating. Even now, we don't know who is playing tricks here and ruining the reputation of our shop."
"That's right, those kids come to our place every day. There must be someone instructing them. We can definitely find out by asking them. We should have stopped those kids just now..."
