Chapter 259: She is a little afraid of trouble
When Lu Banxian brought Xiao Hei to the overpass, he was sitting on a small stool eating a bun. When he saw Dai Qing, he wiped his mouth and stood up immediately, "Sister Dai, you're here."
"Lunch so late?" Dai Qing raised her eyebrows.
"Hehe~, I took a nap while sitting on the overpass and missed the time."
Lu Banxian took the kettle, took two sips, and sighed in his heart. It was all his fault that he didn't learn the skills well enough. Two fortune tellers came in the morning, but when they saw that Sister Dai was not there, they asked a few questions and left. As a result, he didn't make any money at all and had to live off his savings.
Dai Qing sat on a mat, with lush plane trees above her head. The breeze was cool and refreshing, and she felt quite comfortable.
Even Xiao Hei had gotten used to going out with her and found a ventilated place for himself to lie down. When the breeze blew, his ears twitched a little, and the two kids didn't move anymore.
"You know what, Sister Dai is really lucky to have met a genuine five-black dog." Looking at the dog in a good pose, Lu Banxian couldn't help but praise it.
"We met by chance."
Dai Qing looked at Xiao Hei's comfortable expression and flicked his ears. As a single woman, keeping a dog at home to guard the house would directly raise the security level to a higher level.
"I heard there's a young master here who's very good at fortune-telling. Is it you?"
As she was talking, a middle-aged man with a big belly stood in front of Dai Qing, looking down at her with scrutiny in his eyes.
"It's me, do you want to see it?"
The big-bellied man hesitated for a moment, put his briefcase under his armpit, pulled up his trousers, and sat on the ponytail.
Dai Qing watched the little horse swaying from under his ton position for a few times, and couldn't help but worry for him.
"Family, marriage, career, children, which aspect do you want to see?"
"Can't you masters see everything? Look and say whatever you want. I have no taboos."
The big-bellied man took a breath, patted the briefcase under his armpit, and his brows were filled with arrogance.
Seeing him like this, Dai Qing sat up straight and looked at his face.
The Palace of Illness is dim, and the body has already given warnings.
"Then tell me about what happened to you recently? The forehead area is yellow and slightly black. You are probably involved in a lawsuit over some money. It seems like the dispute is going to last for quite a while, which is a bit annoying."
After hearing this, the big-bellied man was stunned. He was indeed involved in a debt lawsuit with someone recently because of a batch of payment for goods. Because of a loophole in the contract, the other party was shamelessly arguing with him, which was really annoying.
You know what, this little girl is really capable, so my trip today wasn't in vain.
"In addition, the tiger ears are white with red, which indicates false wealth. As for which aspect, you should know clearly and need to be on guard."
After hearing Dai Qing's reminder, the big-bellied man no longer had any patience. He sat up straight, squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and subconsciously curled up his hands on his knees.
"Is this what you see on my face?"
This is too weird. Are you just making up some random sentences to trick him?
Seeing his suspicious expression, Lu Banxian could no longer sit still. His beard twitched.
"We don't know your name, dear friend, so we won't go out of our way to ask about your situation. You came here on your own, and you weren't captured by anyone. It's really unfair for you to suspect us."
The big-bellied man blushed as he listened, "Master, I misunderstood you. I was just curious. Please forgive me if I am offended."
Having been in the business world for a long time, I have become accustomed to being skeptical. I can't help but think more about everything, which is indeed offensive.
"It's okay. Your illness palace is dim. You'd better go to the hospital to check your body."
Hearing Dai Qing's reminder, the big-bellied man smiled indifferently. Since he started his business, he had drinking parties almost every day. Over the years, he had gained this fat body.
It's not easy to lose weight, but he's used to it.
The big-bellied man took out fifty yuan from his bag and put it on the cardboard. He stood up without any effort.
"Thanks for the reminder. This is my divination fee."
Watching him walk away panting, Dai Qing shook her head. Just looking at his stomach that was so tight that you couldn't even see his feet, it would be too late to go to the hospital for emergency treatment if something went wrong.
As he watched the person walk away, Lu Banxian looked down at the fifty yuan on the cardboard, his eyes sparkling.
"It's still more convenient to have your fortune told by a rich man. Just raise your hand and give him fifty bucks."
It’s almost as much as he makes in a week.
"What he earns is all fake money, which he cannot keep."
Although his wealth palace is fat and rosy, there are many black spots on the tip of his nose, which directly affects his wealth. Even if he makes money, he will spend it in various ways.
To put it bluntly, it just passed through his hands.
"This guy is a self-made man with no backing. It's not easy for him to get to where he is now. He is a little arrogant. We can give him some advice, but whether he listens or not is up to him."
Some people have worked hard to make their way to the top, and it is difficult for them to keep a stable mentality, so they naturally don't want to listen to bad voices.
Only after you fall will you wake up.
Once that time comes, many things cannot be undone.
Lu Banxian nodded in agreement, "…If I help him analyze the crisis he is in, will I earn more money?"
For people in their line of work, it's not easy to meet someone who is generous.
"Maybe, but it would take a lot of effort to get him to pay for his words willingly. If you have that time and energy, you might as well wait for the next destined person to come along."
As it was a waste of time and not necessarily effective, she chose to keep silent.
Dai Qing looked at Lu Banxian and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth.
"It's fate to meet someone once. If you have no relatives or friends, it's not worth it to work hard for a stranger and end up getting complained about. I'm a fortune teller, and I respect my profession by reminding and advising to the best of my ability. But it's not my style to work hard and not get any thanks, and I don't want to give people the impression that I'm a good person."
Lu Banxian listened and smacked his lips, "I understand. No need to worry."
As expected of a gifted fortune teller, he has realized the true meaning of life at a young age, unlike him, who has toiled for half his life but still has a confused mind.
Just as they were discussing their own lives, a mother and daughter appeared on the other side of the overpass, pulling each other.
The mother dragged a 13 or 14-year-old girl onto the overpass, cursing, holding a woven bag in one hand.
"You are really brave. You dare to come out and set up a stall. You are not afraid of being embarrassed."
"I don't steal or rob, so what do I have to be afraid of? I need to save money to pay for my tuition."
"You stubborn girl, I'm just saying a few words to you. It's good enough that you can study for a few years. You still want to go to high school and go to college. Don't you know what our family conditions are? Can we support you and your brother to study together?"
"That's why I sold things to raise money for your tuition and not let you qualify?" The little girl pouted and spoke stubbornly.
"With your little stuff, how can you ever save enough money for tuition? Your dad has already asked someone to find you an apprentice. You will be able to graduate in two years and earn your own money."
