Chapter 125
"Slept for half a day again?" Xiao Jiangming frowned, looking very worried.
He was really worried about his father, thinking that he had gone to the underworld while sleeping.
From time to time, he would wake his father up to wake him up.
He handed the sugar water to his wife, "Thank you for pouring out the sugar water. I'll go in and take a look first."
"Sugar water?" His wife was surprised when she took the sugar water. "Why did you suddenly buy sugar water for no reason?"
Xiao Jiang explained the reason.
When his wife heard that sugar water could increase Yang Qi and the effect might be better than ginseng, she stood on tiptoe with the sugar water and touched Xiao Jiang's forehead, and then touched her own forehead.
"You really don't have a fever? Why are you daydreaming?"
"Can sugar water help the body recover? How can a sugar water be so magical?"
After that, she asked the price of the sugar water.
When she heard that it was fifty yuan a cup, her wife widened her eyes in surprise: "Other people's sugar water is at most fifteen yuan a bowl, and you actually bought a bowl of sugar water for fifty yuan?"
"What boss is so black-hearted now? This is not the way to cheat people,
right?" After that, she sighed and turned into the kitchen with the bowl of sugar water, "Forget it, let the boss try it. But I advise you not to have too much hope, sugar water is sugar water, even if you add a charm, it can't change the nature of sugar water."
When the sugar water was brought out again.
Xiao Jiang took the bowl and the spoon and went into the room.
The window in the room was carefully opened a little. In order to take care of the old man's rest, the curtain was half closed, leaving only the other half of the window transparent.
The room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
The old man was lying on the bed, sleeping on his side with a sunken face. Hearing the movement, he trembled and opened his eyes.
"Ah...Ah Jiang."
"I'm here." Xiao Jiang quickly helped his father get up and said with a smile: "Today I brought your favorite sweet soup, it's very nourishing, try it quickly."
"I...not hungry." The old man squinted with difficulty.
"Eat something even if you are not hungry." Xiao Jiang saw that his father, who was once full of vigor and vitality, had become like this, and his heart was very uncomfortable. After slowly drinking the sweet soup, he arranged for his father to lie back on the bed to rest.
Waiting to go out.
The wife was preparing to cook in the kitchen. When she saw Xiao Jiang coming in, she sighed and comforted him, "Brother Jiang, we have to do our best and leave it to fate. Grandpa won't blame us."
Grandpa is how Hong Kong daughters-in-law call their father-in-law.
"Yeah." Xiao Jiang's eyes were full of pain, and he could only nod in the end.
It was time for lunch.
Xiao Jiang was about to take the porridge to feed his father. As soon as he turned around, he saw his father had walked out with the help of the door. Although his movements were still shaky, he looked much more energetic.
He was surprised and said, "Dad, why did you come out?"
This was the first time in half a month that he saw his father able to stand and come out.
The old man finally had some strength. He looked at the steaming food on the table, and suddenly his stomach made a hungry cry.
He smiled weakly: "Have you prepared rice? I'm hungry."
"Yes! I'll go get it." Xiao Jiang and his wife came out with the rice, and they both saw each other's overjoyed expressions.
It's good to be hungry!
The doctor said that as long as the old man can restore his appetite, his body will not be seriously ill.
His wife was even more excited to push Xiao Jiang: "I'll prepare the rice, you go buy some more sugar water for the old man."
That cup of sugar water was really amazing! It actually helped my father to restore his energy.
If I drink it a few more times, will my body be able to recover completely?
The more Xiao Jiang thought about it, the more excited he became. His heart was jumping up to his throat, and he kept saying: "Okay, I'll go buy two more cups now!"
What's fifty yuan?
This is much more useful than a ginseng that costs thousands of yuan!
Unfortunately, before Xiao Jiang arrived.
Chu's dessert was sold out.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and as the temperature rose, some customers stayed. They took off their coats and waited outside the store curiously.
Until
Chu Yueqing left the first three customers and smiled apologetically at the customers who were still there: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Master Chu, don't worry about it." A dark-skinned brother said cheerfully, "We just didn't get enough of what we saw on TV, so we came to see the live show and feast our eyes." As soon as the
brother finished speaking, many people followed suit.
"That's right, Master, just
go ahead and do your fortune telling." "Yeah, we just need to watch and have fun."
Many people present came for Chu Yueqing's fortune telling. They all wanted to see if Master Chu's fortune telling was as magical as on TV.
So, no one wanted to leave.
Chu Yueqing didn't persuade them anymore and went back into the Feng Shui shop.
The first fortune teller was a young girl.
After the girl sat down, she first looked around the surrounding environment, then put her backpack on her legs awkwardly, and said with emotion: "Master Chu, your place is really beautiful, and the decoration style is very special."
"Thank you." Chu Yueqing sat at the table, picked up the small teapot beside her, poured a cup of tea as usual, and raised her eyes to ask, "Do you need it?"
Xia Huan shook her head.
Chu Yueqing put down the teapot and asked, "What do you want to calculate?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Huan did not answer immediately, but stood up with his hand on the table and leaned forward to ask in a low voice, "Master, can you calculate other people
's fortunes?" It was the first time that Chu Yueqing saw someone paying money to calculate other people's fortunes. After a moment of hesitation
, he said, "Of course, it's okay. I just need the fortunes. But, are you sure you want to spend 200 yuan to calculate other people's fortunes?" "Are you sure?" Xia Huan said this, holding the 200 yuan tightly and looking a little hesitant. He hesitated for two minutes.
Chu Yueqing saw her embarrassment and smiled slightly, saying, "If you regret it, we can end it now."
"No, no, no." Hearing that it was about to end, Xia Huan shook her head repeatedly.
She had seen a fortune-telling program last night, and was amazed at how Master Chu could see through the fortune of the fortune teller like a god.
Early in the morning, she wrote down the address on TV and came to the scene to queue up.
"Actually." Xia Huan bit her lip, "I'm still a student, and my living expenses plus part-time salary are only one thousand yuan a month."
She finished speaking.
Chu Yueqing understood.
In Hong Kong, a city with high consumption, to spend one thousand yuan a month, you have to be very frugal.
Now it's only the beginning of the month, and you have to spend two hundred yuan on fortune-telling. It is undoubtedly a lot of pressure on Xia Huan.
However.
Xia Huan did not think for too long, and righteously put two hundred yuan on the table: "Don't worry, in order to save my best friend from suffering, I must calculate the fortune."
Chu Yue looked at the Hong Kong dollars that were carefully kept flat, and nodded: "If you are sure you want to calculate, provide me with the horoscope of the person you want to calculate."
"Okay." Xia Huan took out a black notebook from his backpack, flipped through a few pages and handed it over, "I specifically confirmed with my best friend, this is her boyfriend's horoscope." "
Boyfriend's horoscope?"
"Since it's to save my best friend from suffering? Shouldn't I use my best friend's horoscope to calculate?"
Hearing the noisy questions at the door, Xia Huan's expression on her face became distressed.
"What you don't know is that I calculated her boyfriend's horoscope for my best friend."
The neighbors didn't understand.
"For the sake of my best friend, it would be faster to calculate her best friend's horoscope, right?"
"Could it be that her boyfriend is not good to her?"
Chu Yueqing calculated the horoscope, looked at the neighbor who spoke last, and smiled, "You are right, her best friend's boyfriend is really not that good."
She said as she calculated, "Too much gold and water. Water represents the kidneys and emotions. In the horoscope, men with too much gold and water are passionate, like to be entangled with the opposite sex, are lustful and have poor self-control, and cannot resist temptation. Her boyfriend has cheated on her, and not just one."
Xia Huan didn't expect that Master Chu could tell what kind of person the other person was just by looking at the horoscope.
She thought of something and smiled bitterly: "Great, finally someone can see the true face of the scumbag. That scumbag is really not a good person. He usually flirts with women. Once, he..."
Xia Huan hesitated, not knowing whether to talk about this matter, "Once the three of us went on a trip, he took advantage of his girlfriend going out and knocked on my door." Xia
Huan of course did not open the door.
It was night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, she was afraid that her girlfriend would misunderstand.
Seeing that she didn't open the door, the other party sneered outside the door: "Why are you pretending?"
"Your best friend doesn't believe it, right?" Chu Yue looked at Xia Huan's face and frowned, "I can see that you have reminded her again and again."
"Yes." Xia Huan sighed, "My best friend said that there was a problem with the faucet in the next room at that time, and he came here just to borrow the shower room."
Someone mocked at the door.
"Borrowing the shower room in the middle of the night? Or going to the room of a single woman?"
"What a good story."
"What, if you say he didn't mean to seduce, no one will believe it."
Xia Huan continued to speak listlessly.
"Later, I also caught him cheating twice. The first time, I saw her boyfriend lied to her about a business trip, but I happened to catch him buying condoms in a store, and there was even a woman being intimate with him."
"The second time, I saw her boyfriend being intimate with a woman on the street. However, when I called my best friend over, the two of them had already left."
"But no matter how I explained that I saw it with my own eyes, my best friend just didn't believe it, and even thought I deliberately asked them to break up."
Xia Huan still felt a little aggrieved.
Who would want to harm their best friend? She must have noticed something wrong, so she persuaded them to break up.
"You don't know, my best friend is very stupid, she believed in the scumbag wholeheartedly. She even spent all the living expenses given by her family on the scumbag. Although her family is not very wealthy, it is considered well-off. She has never touched water since she was a child, and she can't even make noodles. But she actually learned to cook for the scumbag, and her arms were always blistered by the hot oil."
"Now, my best friend is going to meet his parents to get engaged. If the progress is fast enough, the two will get married at the end of the year."
Xia Huan was really anxious. She didn't have enough money to hire a private detective, nor did she have enough time to follow her best friend's boyfriend.
The only hope she could put was Master Chu.
After hearing this, the neighbors thought Xia Huan was really stupid.
"Since your bestie doesn't believe it, why don't you just let them do it?"
"They'll find out one day anyway."
"If you talk too much, it will affect your relationship with your bestie."
"Listen to auntie, just turn a blind eye. Auntie is an experienced person, and your bestie and her boyfriend are in the same bed, she won't believe you."
"Don't do thankless things."
"No." Xia Huan still refused to give up, shaking her head, "My bestie and I grew up together, and we are like sisters. We promised to share the hard times and the happiness. I can't just watch her jump into the fire pit and let a scumbag ruin her life."
These words calmed down the people who wanted to persuade her.
Indeed, if such a thing happened to them,
they would also help.
Xia Huan's mind was in a mess. After trying to sort out her thoughts, she said, "I've made up my mind."
"She won't cry until she sees the coffin. As long as she can catch the cheating, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. She will definitely recognize the true face of the scumbag."
"Master, please calculate carefully. See where the scumbag will have a date, or which hotel he will book a room. Calculate it, I will take my girlfriend to catch him in the act."
Who knows.
Chu Yueqing looked at Xia Huan's face and sighed softly.
"But, if you take her to catch the cheating, she will be disfigured."
"Her life is a lifetime, isn't yours?"
