Chapter 59 Don't believe me? See for yourself.
The missing sum of money in the house is a taboo subject in this family.
That was a family's life savings, but because the old man suddenly became mentally impaired, it could never be found again.
Is she such a person who can't distinguish between important and unimportant matters? She observed for a long time before making a decision.
If something seems amiss on the spot, she will demand her money back immediately.
But when she came back and talked about it, her husband's attitude chilled her to the bone. She was only trying to do what was best for the family.
“I didn’t say that. I just don’t believe in fortune tellers. There’s no such thing as a real fortune teller. They just say what you want to hear and then scare you.”
Seeing Han's aggrieved expression, Xu Daxian offered an explanation, clearly annoyed.
"If you don't believe me, go see for yourself."
Han returned, fuming.
The atmosphere between the couple reached a freezing point.
Han lowered her head to eat, and Xu Daxian sighed before finally picking up his chopsticks to eat as well.
After a long day of work, he calmed down and realized that arguing about it would be pointless.
"Then let's all go tomorrow."
Xu Daxian's tone softened considerably.
The two sons had no objections.
The old man didn't understand anything; he just watched the group of people grinning foolishly.
The meal was unpleasant, and even though I was full, I didn't feel anything special.
Han was just looking forward to the next day.
Lying in bed at night, the couple turned their backs to each other, clearly having a fight.
After a long silence, Madam Han finally spoke: "If you believe me tomorrow, you must apologize to me!"
Considering he was unaware of the master's abilities, she decided not to hold it against him.
Hearing Han's angry words, Xu Daxian replied, "Fine, if it's a scam, don't bother with anyone else in the future. Just pretend we never had this money. I know you're doing this for the family's good."
This money was a source of great anxiety for him. He knew it was for the good of his family, but they had searched the entire house, even digging up the vegetable garden several times. He had resigned himself to his fate.
The old saying is true: what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force.
Han didn't respond; she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.
She never makes a mistake; I'll have to wait until tomorrow for her to apologize.
As soon as it was light, Han got up to prepare some pancakes to eat on the way.
She had only tidied up halfway when the whole family got up.
The two sons went to help the old man tidy up and wash, while Xu Daxian borrowed an oxcart.
The family quickly packed up and set off.
——
A new day has begun. Today, everything was put on the horse's back. Qin Shi felt sorry for the nanny and the horse, saying, "Good horse, you've worked hard."
"Sweetie, shall I carry you on my back today?"
The horse had already carried so much, and Qin Shi couldn't bear to let Qin Jin'an ride any more.
The horse's body felt heavier when the heavy object was placed on its back.
"I'll carry it."
Qin Tianhai waved to Qin Jin'an: "Yu Baolai, Grandpa will carry you."
Qin Jin'an looked at it, then climbed onto Qin Tianhai's back with a smile.
Although the horse said it could carry things that weren't heavy, Qin Jin'an ran towards his kind grandfather without hesitation, thinking of his warm embrace.
"You take the horse, let's go."
Qin Tianhai carried Qin Jin'an steadily on his back and spoke to the Qin family.
Qin nodded, and the three of them led their horses away.
After they left, Zhang, Qin Yulin, and Zhao, who were at home, also had to go to work.
Upon arriving in town, we dropped off our things at our usual spot.
Qin Tianhai smiled and took out a soft woven material from his book bag.
"Fish Baby, here you go."
Qin Tianhai gave the items to Qin Jin'an; he had made them yesterday when he had some free time at home.
This isn't cloth; it's woven from palm leaves, with a yellow base and black writing on it.
Qin Jin'an could only recognize a few characters and numbers, but anyone who could read would know that it read, "Fortune telling, the first divination costs 660 coins, the second divination costs 6.6 taels of silver, and so on..."
Qin Jin'an's arm was long, but it was divided into several folded pieces. After unfolding it, Qin Tianhai would use a small stick to thread through the fixed edge of the cloth, and then stick the small stick into the basket on his back, and that would be a signboard.
This is Qin Jin'an's fortune-telling signboard.
"Wow, this looks great! Thank you, Grandpa."
Qin Jin'an was overjoyed; she finally had a signboard.
Looking at the Qin family who had started doing business, Qin Tianhai said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yuwan, when we get back today, I'll make a signboard for you. You can think of a name for it."
Qin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I don't know what name to choose either. I'll go back and talk to you all, and we can all help me think of one."
Qin Tianhai nodded, "That works too."
My daughter's cooking skills will last a long time, many people love to eat it, and it would be best if it had a name.
This is how it can be spread more widely.
Just as two customers bought some items, several more people came to the stall.
"Who's the fortune teller?"
Xu Daxian stood in front of the noodle stall, giving Qin Shi an unfriendly look before glancing at the elder beside her.
Qin Tianhai and the Qin family were puzzled.
"I... I can tell fortunes."
Qin Jin'an was too young to be easily overlooked. She was still focused on looking at her signboard when she suddenly heard this sound and quickly stood up from behind Qin Tianhai, smiling as she spoke.
Xu Daxian frowned. They actually pushed a child out to scam people!
"I don't care how you cheated my wife, just return the money to me right now, and I won't pursue this matter further. If you don't return it, then I'll have no choice but to report it to the authorities!"
Xu Daxian took a deep breath and said.
"Yes, if they don't refund the money, we'll report them to the authorities!"
Xu Yao chimed in from the side.
This was a decision that the father and son discussed on the way.
Grandpa needed to use the restroom after arriving in the city, so his younger brother and mother went to take care of him. He and his father came over first, and the father and son decided to come directly to get a refund, so as to resolve the matter and save their parents from arguing about it.
"Don't worry, you want a refund, right? I'll give it to you right now..."
Seeing the aggressive manner of the father and son, Qin decided to return the money rather than get entangled in the matter.
Qin Jin'an stopped Qin Shi, who said with a serious expression, "No, if you want a refund, I'll only refund the aunt from yesterday. Whoever gave me the money, I'll refund them!"
"Yu Bao is right. Whoever gave you the money should get it back."
Qin Tianhai stood firmly in front of Qin Jin'an.
Xu Daxian and his son both looked rather unwell.
Xu Daxian frowned and said sarcastically, "Didn't you claim to be good at divination? Can't you figure out our identities?"
Because of the father and son, many people who wanted to buy noodles stopped and watched.
Qin Jin'an looked at Xu Daxian and said, "Of course your identity is real, but if I return it to you, you will go back and accuse your aunt of being too easily deceived, and your aunt will be unhappy."
Xu Daxian was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.
The onlookers whispered among themselves.
"The little fairy is right. The little fairy must have foreseen this."
"Little fairy, you're so responsible. Why hasn't that woman from yesterday come yet..."
"Could it be that the man forbade her to come, and that's why she didn't come? If he doesn't let her come, she'll take the money back and then go home and argue with that woman, and the woman can't say anything back. This will be brought up all the time in the future."
The whispers and speculations made Xu Daxian and his son feel uncomfortable.
"My wife is here, she'll be here soon."
Xu Daxian spoke, his neck stiff.
