Chapter 376: Continue to sit in the stall and read the fortune
When she woke up, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. Dai Qing just came to wash her face and saw Jiang Li carrying a small stool and getting ready to go out.
"Master Jiang, are you still planning to open the stall?"
"Well, I didn't make it this morning, so I'll go sit for a while in the afternoon. Do you want to join me?"
"Let's go together."
Anyway, I have already checked with the neighborhood committee, so I can just follow everyone's wishes and go sit in the park to completely confirm my identity as a fortune teller and avoid any more suspicion.
After autumn, except for the heat at noon, it is cool in the morning and evening. It is very comfortable for the two of us to sit under the pine tree and enjoy the breeze.
After a while, some people came here because of its reputation.
"Finally I've waited for you. I heard that you are very good at fortune-telling and face-reading. I want to see it for myself."
As they were talking, a man in his forties sat down opposite them with a sad look on his face.
Dai Qing looked at him and sighed. He had the face of a middle-aged man with a shabby face and a dissolute mind.
Jinglu refers to the nostrils.
People with exposed nostrils pointing upward will have bad luck in middle age. Their family business will decline, their property will be exhausted, and they will become penniless, and they may even have no place to live.
Jiang Li looked at her and motioned for her to speak.
"Looking at the uncle's face, his family was very well-off when he was young, and he also has some property, all passed down from his ancestors."
Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the uncle's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"Young Master is right. Our ancestors did have a good life, and I have benefited greatly from it."
"But as the uncle got older, his wealth did not increase, but became less and less. After he entered middle age, he had spent all his money. Now, I guess all he has left is the house he lives in."
He has the appearance of a middle-aged, ruined man, and it is not in his destiny. No matter how hard he tries, he is destined to fail.
After listening to Dai Qing's judgment, the uncle nodded gloomily and sighed deeply.
"What the little master said is right. During the planned economy era, we didn't dare to be so outspoken. After the reform and opening up, everyone rushed to do business. I also followed the trend and started a business with others. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good vision and lost everything."
"I was young and arrogant at the time, and I didn't accept it. I felt that I had suffered a loss due to my lack of experience. I thought that even if I didn't make any money, I had gained some experience, so I tried again. In the end, I lost everything I had, and my family was very angry with me. Now, except for the old house I live in, I am really penniless."
The middle-aged man said this with a self-deprecating laugh.
"I'm just 40 years old, which should be the age for hard work, but I'm destined to be a failure. I can't accomplish anything."
Looking at the graying hair on the uncle's temples and his dim financial situation, Dai Qing felt helpless.
Some people are born with bad luck in wealth, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
"Uncle is not suitable for business, it is better for you to find a reliable job."
If the situation continues, I don’t think we will be able to save our ancestral home.
Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the uncle did not refute. He silently took out five yuan from his pocket and put it in the box, then stood up and left.
Jiang Li looked at his back and shook his head.
"Three generations of ancestors is the limit... Don't force it when fate has no time."
Listening to Jiang Li's sigh, Dai Qing nodded in agreement. The uncle's face showed that his ancestors for three generations were all wealthy, and it was only in his generation that they fell into poverty, which was considered good.
A moment later, another 30-year-old lady came in and asked, "Master, please take a look at me. When will my husband's illness be cured?"
Looking at the aunt's face, Dai Qing looked at Jiang Li. The old man narrowed his eyes, looking very calm and composed, and didn't even look at her.
Dai Qing twitched her lips and cleared her throat.
"Your husband is weak and needs to be taken care of. He will have to go to the hospital a lot in the future... Auntie has worked hard all her life. Fortunately, she is in good health, but she will be lonely in her later years."
If a woman has turned-back ears, it also means that she will punish her husband.
The two ears of the aunt are not symmetrical and are turned backwards, which is not good for the husband. If the wife's uterus is prosperous, the husband's uterus will be in decline. In addition, the aunt also has three of the "nine ugly things": high cheekbones, unkempt hair, and a thick beard (a woman with thick beards around her mouth).
The so-called 'Nine Ugly' traits are: high cheekbones, protruding Adam's apple, unkempt hair, snake-like rat eyes, thick and heavy eyebrows, hooked nose, sheep-like white spots on the eyes, a bear-like voice, and a beard with black spots.
Generally speaking, women with this kind of facial features are bound to be lonely.
After listening to Dai Qing's explanation, the aunt was stunned and her eyes turned red.
"Master, do you mean that my spouse will die young?"
Dai Qing: “…”
Do you have to be so straightforward?
Seeing Dai Qing pursing her lips and saying nothing, the sister-in-law smiled awkwardly, took out two yuan from her pocket and put it in the box.
"My husband's health has not been good since we got married. I worked very hard these years and even worked for others privately. All the money I earned went to the hospital. Fortunately, my husband is a good person and treats me well. So, I have been willing to give all these years."
If her husband's poor health was caused by her, then she didn't owe him anything.
From the time she got married until now, she has hardly had a day off, just to earn more money for his medical treatment.
"Don't worry, auntie. Since two people are married, there is no right or wrong. Besides, your relationship is still good, and you will live a comfortable life in your later years."
Because of this, although my aunt will be lonely in her later years, her life will not be too difficult.
"Thank you!" The aunt looked at Dai Qing gratefully, turned around and left.
Jiang Li opened his eyes and found Dai Qing staring at the back of the person leaving in a daze. He couldn't help but remind her,
"Some marriages are destined by nature, and no one can change them."
"I know, that's why I can't help but sigh. My aunt is a bit of a husband-killer, but it's not her fault. Do you think it's magnetic attraction?" Dai Qing asked casually, stroking her chin.
Jiang Li looked at her and said nothing.
There are always all kinds of disappointments in this world, and there are only more in places that we cannot see.
After the two of them expressed their feelings, they fell into deep thought and the atmosphere became a little silent.
"Master, please help me see if I can enjoy my old age in peace."
Looking at the old man sitting in front of her, Dai Qing noticed that there were many spots on his face, and her heart sank.
People with black and blue spots on their faces look weak and do not have the appearance of longevity.
"You look fine, but the spots on your face indicate that your health is deteriorating. I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup."
Hearing Dai Qing's suggestion, the old man's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Why would I go to the hospital when I'm fine?"
"Don't be angry, brother. Have you been feeling down lately?"
Listening to Jiang Li's question, the old man pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I am indeed easily tired recently, but is it normal to be easily tired as you get older?"
"Being easily tired is a warning from your body. It would be safer for you to go to the hospital." Jiang Li reminded softly while twisting the wooden beads.
