Chapter 78: A Fate That Turns Misfortune into Fortune
Uncle Jia watched him walk away before asking, "He looks like he's touched something dirty."
Su Nuobai smiled and shook his head: "He is sick."
Uncle Jia looked at her with sparkling eyes: "You can tell that I'm sick?"
Su Nuobai was amused by his expression: "A person's complexion can be expressed."
Uncle Jia turned to look at the vendors beside him and asked, "Did you see anything?"
A group of people shook their heads, indicating that they didn't notice it.
Su Nuobai ignored them and turned to look at Feng Zhi: "Is everything done?"
Feng Zhi nodded: "The things that were dug out have been burned. That peach tree looks quite old."
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "If it weren't for the years, her magic wouldn't be so effective."
Feng Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I also saw a beautiful woman at Honghua's house. She must be her mother."
"After I burned the box, she seemed to come to her senses. When she heard Honghua calling her mother, she ran out like crazy."
Su Nuobai frowned: "I'm afraid that this magic was used by Honghua's ancestors to harm people, but they didn't expect that no matter how beautiful the woman they married was, it would be useless."
"They will only have one child, and that child will grow up with the ugliest features of both of them. In order to start a family and continue their family line, they can only use this kind of magic."
Feng Zhi frowned and said, "Those who are hit, won't be miserable?"
"You've seen Chi Ye's situation. If they really get married, he will be beaten and scolded at will, almost like a puppet." Su Nuobai said and looked at Feng Zhi.
"If she saw your face, she'd probably want to try it on you, too."
Feng Zhi felt a chill: "Goodbye."
Su Nuobai raised the corners of her lips: "Chi Ye is lucky. This Honghua is not satisfied with only him, otherwise she would have won him over long ago."
A woman sat on the small stool opposite her, holding a paper bag containing freshly bought meat buns. She felt a little uneasy and didn't know how to start.
Su Nuobai was not in a hurry. After looking at her face and clothes, he knew that her family was not wealthy, and was even in financial difficulty.
"What does this sister-in-law want to count?"
Lai Hongmei hesitated for a moment, then handed the three meat buns to Su Nuobai: "Master, I want to calculate my daughter's horoscope."
Su Nuobai took the meat bun and handed it to Feng Zhi: "Are you going to combine the horoscopes for marriage?"
Lai Hongmei nodded quickly: "Yes, the matchmaker said they are a match made in heaven, but I don't know why I always feel uneasy and uneasy."
"So I wanted to come to you to do the math for me."
Su Nuobai was not surprised: "Tell me the horoscopes of your daughter and the other person."
Lai Hongmei quickly reported two horoscopes.
Su Nuobai counted on her fingers and raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the person in front of her: "Did she tell you it was a match made in heaven?"
Lai Hongmei nodded quickly: "Yes, she said that the man's family is well-off, but it's a bit far away, and it may be difficult for him to come back in this lifetime."
"Their family gave a lot of betrothal gifts. I only saw the man's portrait, but he looked quite handsome. I was wondering at the time, how could such a good thing happen to our family?"
"The matchmaker told me that my daughter is lucky and can bring good luck to the man. She said that she had been searching for a long time to find such a matching fate."
Uncle Jia and the others became interested when they heard this: "How much do they give you as betrothal gifts?"
Lai Hongmei hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Ten taels."
"That's a lot." The vendors nearby were surprised.
"Yes! My husband and I didn't want to marry our child so far away. We won't be able to see our child in this lifetime, and we always feel uneasy." Lai Hongmei was still conflicted.
"This is ten taels of silver." said the vendor next door.
Lai Hongmei glanced at him and said, "No matter how much money it is, I still feel this way! I can't see my child anymore, and I feel so trapped inside."
"We didn't agree at first, but then the matchmaker said the man's family was well-off and my daughter would live a comfortable life if she married him. He also said if we thought it was too little, we could add a little more."
Uncle Jia: "You don't want your child to suffer with you. Why don't you marry him into a good family and let him suffer less?"
Lai Hongmei nodded: "But I'm still worried. I want to compare our horoscopes first. The matchmaker said it was a match made in heaven, but I just don't feel that way."
"My wife saw me like this and asked me to find someone else to do my fortune telling. I heard that Master Su, who was worth three buns, was very accurate, so I found him."
Su Nuobai looked at her: "Your premonition is quite accurate."
"Ah!" Everyone shouted at the same time.
Su Nuobai didn't keep it a secret: "The birth date you just reported to me says that your bones weigh two taels and one qian, which means you will be lonely and short-lived for the rest of your life."
"There is another bone weighing two ounces and eight cents, which means turning misfortune into good fortune."
Lai Hongmei was a little confused: "Master, what do you mean?"
Su Nuobai looked at her and said calmly, "One of the people here is already dead."
"What?" There was another exclamation from all around.
Lai Hongmei's face turned pale. Her daughter was still alive, so the only person who died could be someone from the man's family.
Feng Zhi was shocked: "They are arranging a ghost marriage, and using a living person."
Lai Hongmei almost fell to the ground, but luckily a woman watching the excitement nearby helped her up: "Big sister, are you okay?"
Su Nuobai looked at her and said, "If the marriage hasn't been arranged yet, postpone it immediately. Otherwise, you will never see your daughter again in your life."
Lai Hongmei waited for a long time before she reacted: "Master, you said my daughter is destined to turn misfortune into fortune."
Grandpa Jia said with a smile: "Isn't it fate that turns misfortune into fortune? If you weren't so uneasy, you would have married her off long ago."
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "Your daughter has been weak and sickly since she was a child, but she has a kind heart and never asks for anything in return. It is because of her kindness that she was able to survive this disaster."
Lai Hongmei burst into tears: "I really didn't expect that this was their plan."
Su Nuobai waited until she had cried enough before saying, "But I have something to say to your family, especially my daughter."
Lai Hongmei quickly wiped her tears: "Master, please tell me, I will definitely tell her."
Su Nuobai: "Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against them. Your daughter will turn misfortune into good fortune after this incident and will be blessed."
Lai Hongmei was so grateful that she almost knelt down to Su Nuobai: "Master, if it weren't for you today, I might have done something really stupid."
Su Nuobai naturally wouldn't let her kneel: "This is all because of your daughter's good deeds and your deep love for her, but it has nothing to do with me."
Lai Hongmei bowed to her again in gratitude and said, "I will go back and reject this marriage proposal right away."
"Wait." Su Nuobai stopped Lai Hongmei who was turning around to leave.
Lai Hongmei turned to look at her with a puzzled look on her face: "Master, is there anything else?"
