Chapter 62: A Fortune Telling
It was rare that Zhong Xu actually knew how to make progress, and the three adults were quite pleased.
"Once the renovation is finished here, we will move in after the New Year. Then we will arrange for Linlin and Zhong Xu to transfer schools and provide them with a better learning environment." Zhong Xiong said with a smile.
It's rare that a child knows he or she wants to make progress, and as a parent, we can't hold him or her back.
Zhong Xu was very happy. Seeing Linlin kept her head down and didn't say anything, Zhong Hui couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Then she asked as tactfully as possible, "Linlin, don't you want to transfer schools?"
Zhong Linlin looked up at Zhong Hui in confusion, then slowly shook her head. "Not really. I heard the city primary school is very beautiful and the teachers there are very good. I want to study there, but I'm not familiar with it and I'm a little scared."
When she heard this was the reason, Zhong Hui felt relieved. As long as she wasn't thinking about her father, it was fine.
"Linlin, how can we not be familiar with each other? Don't worry, I'll protect you." Zhong Xu patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"Don't try so hard, or you might hurt yourself." Several adults burst out laughing.
Linlin was also happy and nodded heavily. Right, Brother Zhong Xu is here, so she is not afraid.
…
Unlike the happy atmosphere here, there is a very strange atmosphere in Wang Guimei's home in Shangtuan Village.
At first, Ge Zhihua was beaten and had to lie in bed for more than a week before he felt better. Wang Guimei felt that something evil must have happened to the family and it was not peaceful at all.
It happened that the wife of the village party secretary came to the store to buy something, and Wang Guimei casually mentioned it to her. Zhang Aiqing then gave her some advice, saying that Baiyun Temple was very spiritual and she could go there to worship.
Wang Guimei thought about it and agreed that it was true. If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. Anyway, she had nothing to do recently, so it would be nice to go and worship. So she made an appointment with Ge Zhihua, and they went to Baiyun Temple together to take a look.
When they arrived at Baiyun Temple, the temple was extremely popular, so the two followed the crowd and went directly to pray for wealth.
Ge Zhihua was very sincere. Not only did he kowtow several times properly, he also donated one hundred yuan as incense money.
Seeing that he donated a lot, the monks in the temple suggested telling his fortune.
Ge Zhihua and Wang Guimei were originally ready to leave, but they stopped after hearing what he said. This was a big deal. The monk said that Wang Guimei had excellent fortune, but unfortunately, Ge Zhihua's horoscope did not bring wealth.
This made Ge Zhihua very angry. Wang Guimei was a little shaken and looked at Ge Zhihua suspiciously.
Ge Zhihua was furious and looked at the monk unhappily. The monk then said mysteriously that it was not that he was not rich, but that his horoscope and fortune were not in the south, but in the north.
This monk is a highly respected monk in Baiyun Temple. Many people usually come to him to ask for divination and fortune. It was just a coincidence that they met him today.
Moreover, what the monk said was so convincing that it was hard not to be convinced.
Just now, after returning from Baiyun Temple, Wang Guimei and Ge Zhihua both looked a little strange.
Wang Guimei actually felt a little regretful. According to the master, it was Ge Zhihua who obstructed her fortune. Otherwise, why would Xiatuan Village be demolished as soon as Ge Zhihua divorced Zhong Hui?
In contrast, their Shangtuan Village, which was in a very good situation, has now become a motionless urban village.
Seeing that Wang Guimei was unhappy, Ge Zhihua cursed the monk in his heart, but he couldn't afford to offend Wang Guimei now. Without Wang Guimei, where could he go?
Ge Zhihua looked at Wang Guimei cautiously: "Guimei, the monk's words are not credible. I think he is just talking nonsense."
Wang Guimei raised her head and looked at Ge Zhihua silently. Just when Ge Zhihua was feeling very nervous, Wang Guimei suddenly said, "Didn't the master say that your fortune is in the north, not in our south? Then go to the north. Yes, go to the north. Once you go to the north, our fortune will improve."
"Go north?" Ge Zhihua was shocked. The farthest place he had been was from the village to the city for work. He had never been out of the province.
"Yes, let's go to the north, to Beijing. It's a big city and the capital. You can definitely make as much money there as here." Wang Guimei seemed crazy.
"Am I going alone?" Ge Zhihua asked with difficulty.
Wang Guimei shook her head: "No, I'll go too. Xiaojun and Lili will go too. Our whole family will go."
Wang Guimei wanted money, wanted to make a lot of money, but she couldn't bear to leave Ge Zhihua. Since that was the case, she decided to think of a way to have the best of both worlds. Yes, move, move the whole family to Beijing.
When Ge Zhihua heard that the whole family was going, he felt relieved. However, he was still a little unwilling. He was unfamiliar with the place and how could he make any money there?
Ge Zhihua just wants money to fall from the sky. Isn’t it better to wait for the demolition?
Ge Zhihua thought so and asked the question.
Wang Guimei glared at him fiercely. "Do you think I don't want to? But look at the current situation. If we want to demolish our house, it will take forever. Whose problem is this? It's your problem. Okay? I'm willing to go north with you. Are you still not happy?"
Ge Zhihua was so glared at by her that he dared not speak. He mumbled, "I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say."
Wang Guimei finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa exhausted. This was the place where she had lived for more than ten years, and she was reluctant to leave.
Her shop was doing very well and she could earn quite a bit of money from the card table every day, so she was reluctant to give it away.
But this is just small money. She wants to make big money. Yes, leave here and start over.
Wang Guimei is a person of action. After making up her mind, she immediately went to find the village party secretary Wang Hengjun.
"Secretary, Zhihua and I want to develop in the north."
Wang Hengjun was delighted when he heard this, but he still pretended to be serious and said, "Going north to develop? Nothing in the north is as good as here. We have a good geographical location and are developing better and better. As long as you keep your small shop, you won't have to worry about not making money."
Wang Guimei had never been willing to give up the family business she had worked so hard for. Upon hearing this, the determination on her face softened a little: "Yes, I don't want to either. Otherwise, I should..."
Wang Hengjun was frightened, fearing that she would not leave. He really wanted to slap himself twice and scold him for talking too much.
"Actually, the living environment here is not good. Look at the houses in the village, which are so densely packed that the light is blocked. The sanitation is also poor, and there is garbage everywhere. It's actually good for you to go out. You can see more of the world. Who knows, you can make a lot of money. Your small shop only makes a few dollars a year, right?"
Wang Guimei's mouth twitched. That's not what you just said.
Wang Hengjun is now worried that she will not leave. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t leave, the main thing is that Ge Zhihua has to leave.
Wang Hengjun hardened his heart: "Guimei, we are relatives, and you should call me uncle. So, if you want to leave, I will buy your house. I will pay 10% more than the market price."
Wang Guimei looked at Wang Hengjun suspiciously. No, that wasn't right. Could it be that the branch secretary knew that her house was going to be demolished and came to save her house?
