At the age of five, a fortune teller said that I would be able to see through other people's thoughts when I grow up.
My parents thought I was a genius and devoted the whole family's ...
Chapter 81 A Good Brother-in-Law Rarely Seen in the World
My brother-in-law took a sip of tea and said bluntly without caring about my feelings:
"Why do I say that people look down on you for doing this? They think you're doing a low-class job.
Of course, you don't think so, but objectively speaking, it is the case. I know you won't accept it and will cite the example of your master being respected. But who is your master?"
Here he paused.
I stared at my brother-in-law, thinking he would say my master was very skilled.
Unexpectedly, he said, "Your master has skills, but he doesn't rely on them; he relies on his ability to be a good person. His connections include Mr. Deng, Brother Long, and a whole host of others. If you remove these people, do you think he can survive?"
I looked at him in surprise.
My brother-in-law said frankly, "Your master is a very smart man. He not only has close contacts with smart people, but also has connections with people in the underworld.
He helps out neighbors on his street whenever there's a problem.
If we remove this foundation, will anyone come in?
Don't you have any skills, Blind Mo? Why aren't you as good as your master? You all use the same theory, but your understanding is different."
After my brother-in-law explained this to me, I became much more sober.
He continued, "Besides your master, who stands out from the crowd, others see you as just another fortune teller. Unlike others, you don't just randomly predict things; you actually know a thing or two. People trust you because you're quite accurate, while those who don't believe you believe you're just trying to deceive people."
If it were someone else, I would stand up and slap him.
But he is my brother-in-law, my relative, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart. He never said these words from the bottom of his heart normally, and he only said them when he had no other choice.
I felt a little grateful to him and raised my glass. He immediately understood and clinked his glass with mine.
After taking a sip, he continued, "It seems you've listened to me, so I'll continue. What you said about Poppy lying to you doesn't exist either."
In her eyes, finding a partner for someone like you has its ups and downs. A very beautiful woman marrying you is a gain; giving birth to a boy with defects is a loss. Besides, she didn't force you. Now that you understand, don't talk about it. Everyone wants to sell off their stock at home.
His last words made me burst into laughter.
My brother-in-law laughed and said, "Isn't it? Now that you're laughing, you agree with my point of view. When the matchmaker told me that your sister was quite a lady, you didn't tell me anything. Aren't you also trying to sell her out as soon as possible?"
I gave him a hard look, held my stomach, and tried not to laugh.
"Brother, it's as if nothing happened. If you learn your master's tricks, you will have milk and bread."
After saying that, he stood up, patted me on the shoulders twice, and left.
I became much calmer after my brother-in-law left.
After washing up, I sat on the bed, leaning my back against the headboard, and slowly took in what my brother-in-law had said. We rarely have such heart-to-heart talks, but after talking tonight, I found that my brother-in-law is actually a person with a clear mind.
His cold eyes saw through everything behind things.
In particular, he joked that I knew my sister was powerful, even rude, but I didn't tell him a word.
Thinking of this sentence, I laughed to myself.
I don’t blame Yu Meiren or Village Chief Qiao and his wife.
After that, I felt a sense of awe for my master. He said I could only get married when I was 30 years old. This was my first time falling in love, and I encountered this situation.
Is he really able to predict other people's marriages, or does he hope that I won't be distracted and work hard to learn some skills before I turn 30?
I recall every bit of his careful teachings to me.
Suddenly I understood that he should be training me as his successor.
A man with unique skills is reluctant to share his skills with his son, and his son is reluctant to inherit his legacy. Therefore, he treats me as both his heir and his son.
The only person I feel sorry for is Xiuxiu, she is innocent.
I didn't answer her call, so she must have sent me a WeChat message.
I opened my phone and it was indeed the case. There were three messages in total:
"Are you busy?"
“Why don’t you reply to me?”
"Did you encounter any difficulties?"
I closed my eyes in pain.
I sat there for a long time, unable to figure out how to respond to her tomorrow. I had to avoid hurting her pride, but I also had to express my feelings tactfully.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep with my clothes on without even turning off the light.
After a while, there was another knock on the door.
I got out of bed, opened the door, and it turned out to be my sister accompanying my mother.
Seeing the tears on my mother's face still wet, I pretended to smile and said:
"It's okay, why are you so worried about me?"
My sister said, "It's okay. Do you know what time it is? I couldn't sleep and saw the light in your room was on. I asked you to come and check it out."
My heart softened and I said, "I'm sorry, Mom, Sister, please sit down."
They sat down, and my sister said, "It's not your fault. It's my fault for having a bad temper. I couldn't help myself and didn't pay attention to the occasion when I spoke. I made Mom worry."
My mother said, "I only have two things to say. First, I don't care how many children you have, but you must have a boy, and I'm willing to help you raise him. Second, Master is not your biological father, so you must treat him as your own. He says one thing, and you can't say two. He said you can't get married until you're thirty, so you should wait until you're thirty."
I nodded seriously.
My sister said, "Just go to sleep peacefully. As for the other person, I'll talk to Yu Yamei. Don't tell that girl specifically; it won't be clear."
That's what I'm worried about. "What are you going to tell her?"
My sister smiled, making an exception. "There's a year-end gathering for female entrepreneurs tomorrow. I might as well be frank. I'll tell Yu Yamei thank you for setting me up with a beautiful girlfriend."
My mother is looking forward to having a grandson soon. My family has only one son for three generations, so the more grandchildren we have, the better. This morning, my mother told me that she would be willing to take care of any three or four of them.
Wan Shuixiu, Wan Shuixiu, no wonder you became a female entrepreneur.
She patted my shoulder and said, "Your brother-in-law told me that you have a bright future. I believe it too. You should set your sights higher. I didn't know your master had read your fortune before. Otherwise, I wouldn't have introduced you to a girlfriend."
My mother said, "Thirty is thirty, what's there to be afraid of? I'm in great shape. Just be open-minded. You're my only child."
I forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I left the light on because I was sitting there reading and fell asleep while reading."
I walked them out the door. My mother turned around and stared at me, "Turn off the lights and go to bed immediately."
Can I sleep?
Almost no sleep all night.
I am only ashamed of the fact that I said so many boring things to Xiuxiu at Youranju that night.
