Chapter 488 Shocking Everyone

Teacher Meng read out my birth date and time. I closed my eyes for a moment. After a moment, he opened them and said, "Your fate is unremarkable."

Teacher Meng asked, "What do you mean by ordinary?"

"Go to school when you should go to school, go to work when you should go to work, get married when you should get married, follow the routine, and there will be no big ups and downs in life."

Teacher Meng smiled and thought my level was just average, because that's how most people's lives really are.

I continued, "For example, if you started elementary school at the age of 7, graduated from high school at the age of 16, repeated a year, and were admitted to university..."

"Wait a minute, you mean I repeated a year?"

"Yeah." I won't say another word.

"How do you know I repeated a year?"

"You were unlucky when you were 16. Even if you had good grades, you wouldn't have passed the exam."

Now he knew I was good at kung fu and asked, "What will you do after you get into university?"

"You graduated at 21 and got married four years later. You could have gotten married at 24, but it wasn't because of you. Because of the policy at the time that delayed marriage and childbirth, you delayed it for a year."

Mr. Meng and Mr. Fang looked at each other.

I continued, "You were destined to have two sons and two daughters, but due to policy, you only gave birth to one boy.

Because you have a calm personality, do not fight or resist, and are a modest gentleman, you will never argue with others.

The good thing is that I have lived a peaceful life. The bad thing, not that bad, is that I didn't even become a dean of students."

He nodded and said, "These details are all calculated accurately. Mr. Shanhong is indeed good."

I said, "My answer is nothing. Li Hanchen can even figure out whether the gate of your school opens to the east or west. There are dozens of students in your class, and he can figure it out."

"Ah——" they screamed in unison.

I said, "Well, you can search for him online later."

Teacher Meng said, "Continue to calculate for me."

I said, "You said you like fishing, but you don't. It's true that you like writing poetry."

Teacher Meng must have been shocked, but he remained calm on the surface and said with a smile, "I do like fishing."

I shook my head and said, "You rarely blink, and you have neurasthenia. The doctor recommended fishing because you can concentrate fully when fishing, which has a certain therapeutic effect on neurasthenia."

Teacher Meng asked, "Anything else?"

I shook my head and said, "That's about it."

Mr. Fang asked, "Are both correct?"

Teacher Meng gave a thumbs-up. "God, I'm truly impressed by your ability to calculate this far. Every word you said hits the nail on the head."

Tan Shaojie didn't care, but Mr. Fang became interested and said, "Master Shanhong, calculate it for me."

I laughed out loud: "You don't need to calculate it. You have told me all the important things in your life. There is no point in calculating it anymore."

Shaojie said: "Teacher Wan is really good at fortune telling."

Mr. Fang said, "Can you test it for others?"

"Okay, but he has to say a word and tell him what he wants to be tested on."

Mr. Fang said, "Then I'll make a phone call," and then he walked out of the box.

Teacher Meng asked, "Master Shanhong, how many years have you studied?"

“I’ve been learning since I was 21.”

"Oh, that's rare."

After a while, Mr. Fang came in and said, "Let me tell you about the character 'Cheng'. Ask about your fortune."

I smiled and said, "Let me explain this character first. In oracle bone script, it's written as two people holding up one person. So, I conclude it's a partnership."

Whether this business is profitable depends entirely on whether both partners are of the same mind. If one partner is not of the same mind, the person being supported will fall."

Mr. Fang said, "Let me ask again."

He went out to make a phone call again, and came back and said, "God, it is indeed a partnership business. My son-in-law has recently partnered with someone to do something."

I said, "Just tell him what I'm saying."

Teacher Meng became somewhat adoring of me this time and asked cautiously:

"Master Shanhong, I have a friend. Could you please take a look at him?"

I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since you are my friend, you are also my friend."

Teacher Meng was very happy and went out to make a phone call.

Mr. Fang said, "You are indeed worthy of your reputation. Usually fortune tellers are full of ambiguities. If you point out their mistakes, they will find another excuse.

For example, I once had my fortune told, and the fortune teller said my first child would be a boy. I said it was a girl, and he asked what year it was born, and I said: 1989.

He immediately changed his tune and said, "If she was born in 1989, she's a girl. He holds the standard anyway."

I smiled and didn't comment. The world is so big, but we should allow others to make a living.

At this time, Teacher Meng led a woman in.

I glanced at her and said, "Teacher Meng, don't calculate her fate."

He asked, "Why?"

I said, "She is your niece, boss lady."

Teacher Meng asked, "Do you know him?"

I shook my head.

Teacher Meng turned to look at Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang said, "I didn't introduce him."

I said, "She looks like a lucky charm for her husband, and she looks a bit like you."

The proprietress smiled and said, "Master, please give me a fortune telling. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to a small restaurant like ours for dinner."

I nodded.

She reported her birth date.

I pondered for a moment. "Your fate is to be separated from your parents. Between the ages of 10 and 13, both of them passed away. You were the eldest child, and at 15 you left home to work, struggling to earn money to support your younger siblings. The bitterness of that time is too much to describe in words..."

Just as she said this, the proprietress covered her eyes with one hand and reached for a napkin with the other. Shaojie, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly tore off a few and handed them to her.

Teacher Meng was familiar with the situation, his eyes moist, while Mr. Fang stared at me with his mouth wide open in surprise. Shaojie, on the other hand, remained calm, having experienced my strength before.

I said, "Don't cry. You suffered in the first half of your life. You will enjoy happiness in the second half. This is your destiny. After you are thirty-six, the wind will blow your sails all the way. It will push you to fifty, then you can stop and enjoy a peaceful life."

The boss lady wiped her tears, smiled at me, and asked, "Can't you do business after you turn fifty?"

I nodded and said, "Your fortune only lasts until the age of fifty. If you try to force it, your old car will flip over with a flat tire. You are only destined to have seven points of wealth. If you try to earn ten points, you will suffer disaster."

Teacher Meng asked, "Do you understand? Stop when you make money."

The proprietress nodded.

At this moment, a man walked in from outside and shouted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The female boss said, "My husband." Then she pointed at me and said, "This is Mr. Wan."

I stood up and said, "Hello, Village Chief."

He passed us cigarettes and said, "I'm so sorry. My uncle said Master Wan and some distinguished guests were coming, and I've been wanting to come for a while. But our township secretary was having dinner with a reporter, so I went over there to entertain him."

I said, "You go greet the secretary and the reporters, and we'll just chat with your cousin."

Village Chief Zhou left. But the proprietress stayed. She said, "Mr. Wan, my husband actually wanted to talk to you, but the secretary is here and he can't get away."

I said, "I know. Being an official is not as good as being in charge. You should get busy too."

The proprietress then stood up and left. Teacher Meng said, "Running a restaurant is the job of the lower class, and they have to entertain everyone. Business is good here. When people come, they always have to offer a toast."

I said, "We've had our meal and met Teacher Meng. Let's call it a day for now?"

Everyone stood up and was about to leave when the boss lady came and whispered something to Teacher Meng. Teacher Meng said to me:

"Mr. Shanhong, I have a humble request. I'd like you to stay for a few minutes. The boss has a request. He also wants you to tell someone's fortune."

I thought, then I'll buy a full favor. He smiled and said, "Okay, next time I come, I can enjoy VIP treatment."

Teacher Meng said, "You are an absolute VIP. I want them to save your phone number. Even if you don't come, if your friends come to dinner, you can just give them a call."

We all sat down, and the waiter made another round of tea. We chatted while waiting for the next fortune teller.
