Chapter 389: A Hard Life
Watching the uncle walk away angrily, Dai Qing shook her head and ignored him.
A moment later, another middle-aged woman in her thirties came in, carrying a cloth bag in her hand and wearing a half-new jacket. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down opposite Dai Qing.
"Master, please tell me, I am not born to be a miserable person, am I?"
Seeing her sad face, Dai Qing spoke softly.
"My sister-in-law is indeed a hard-working person. Although she is not rich, her life is quite ordinary."
Those with chaotic veins on forehead, face, hands and feet are called "worm coils". Chaotic veins on the temples indicate discord between husband and wife.
People with this appearance will work hard and suffer hardship all their lives, with no surplus.
Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the sister-in-law's eyes dimmed immediately, and the corners of her mouth trembled, "I am indeed born to be a miserable person. There is no hope for my life."
Dai Qing frowned as she listened to her self-deprecating words. Her sister-in-law's face was indeed thin, with bulging veins. Her fate was a bit bitter, but it was not completely hopeless.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is not true. Although your life has been hard, there is hope. As long as you raise your daughter well, you will have a relatively comfortable old age in the future."
My eldest sister-in-law's children's palace shows that she has a daughter, and her luster is pretty good. The daughter still has some luck, but she must be well cultivated.
Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the sister-in-law was stunned.
"Really? My daughter is a good student, but because she is a girl, my husband is resentful and usually doesn't pay much attention to us."
Speaking of this, the eldest sister-in-law's eyes were full of resentment.
"My husband is a filial son. He gives all his salary to my mother-in-law, and she gives all to her grandson. My daughter is about to enter the first year of the new year, but her father never cares about her. He doesn't even remember his daughter's birthday, but he spends money to buy toys and order cakes for his nephew."
"I borrowed a lot of money to raise money for my daughter's school fees. I was laughed at by my husband's family and rejected by my own family. I was neither a good person nor a good person."
Listening to her complaints, Dai Qing sighed. It was indeed a bit pitiful, but the marriage was her own choice and she couldn't blame others.
"You have to fight for your daughter, unless your husband doesn't need your daughter to support him in his old age?"
During this period, most people have children for the purpose of providing for their parents in their old age, and few people can escape this framework.
Listening to Dai Qing's question, the sister-in-law's eyes turned red.
"What else can I do? We've argued and quarreled. In the end, we ended up being at odds with each other and being speechless. There's no benefit at all. I've given up on that man a long time ago. Today is my daughter's birthday, and I couldn't help but have another quarrel. We parted on bad terms."
It was his nephew's birthday a while ago, and as an uncle, he started thinking about how to prepare a birthday gift several days in advance. But he forgot that his daughter's birthday was also during these days, but he never remembered it.
Today was my daughter's birthday. I didn't want to have a quarrel, but seeing his clueless attitude, I still got angry and couldn't help but say a few words. As a result, I don't know if he was guilty or something else, but he was like a firecracker, and he exploded at the slightest touch, and roared with a fierce face,
'What's so good about a little girl's birthday?'
Fortunately, the daughter was not at home at the time, so she did not hear her father's disgusted tone, but these words were like a knife in her heart.
After all these years of marriage, they only have one daughter. Although life is not easy, their daughter is going to junior high school anyway, so they have to celebrate for her, right?
It would be fine if my husband's family didn't care about me, but even my own father despised me. My life is so miserable.
After a quarrel early in the morning, I watched him run out of the room. I felt sad. In the end, I had to wipe away my tears and go out to prepare a birthday present for my daughter.
I was strolling aimlessly into the park, and when I saw a fortune-telling stall, I couldn't help but walk over.
"It's not enough that I have a miserable life, but my daughter has to suffer with me. I am sorry for her."
When the sister-in-law mentioned her daughter, her eyes turned red and she had to hold back her tears. Dai Qing felt bad seeing this.
"Since you know that men have treated you badly, don't feel sad for them. Live your life well. If for nothing else, then for your daughter, you have to be strong."
Dai Qing looked at her mediocre wealth palace. Her fortune was indeed bad and she was destined to have a hard life. But if she could raise a daughter, perhaps her fortune would change a little.
"Remember, your daughter is your support."
The sister-in-law listened to Dai Qing's instructions, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded heavily.
"I will support my daughter's education. When she becomes successful, I will let those who look down on us see that we are no worse than anyone else."
"Just have this thought in mind. As the saying goes, people live for a breath, and Buddha lives for a stick of incense. Time will give you the answer."
Dai Qing looked at the firmness in her eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
Although her fate was rough and her life was hard, she was resilient. As long as her daughter could finish her education, her fate would be somewhat improved.
The sister-in-law took a deep breath, fumbled in her pocket for a long time, and finally took out two yuan and put it in the box, looking embarrassed.
"This is a small gift from me, please don't reject it, Master."
She wanted to pay more, but her money was tight.
"It doesn't matter. Meeting is fate. It's all about the love."
After that, Dai Qing took out ten yuan from her pocket and put it in her hand.
"This is my birthday gift to your daughter. Please help me buy her a small cake to encourage her to study hard."
"This... this is so embarrassing. I came here to ask a master to tell my fortune, how can I still accept your money?"
Looking at the ten yuan in her hand, the sister-in-law's face turned red with anxiety. She quickly returned it. She had no money to pay for the divination, and it would be wrong to charge more money.
"This is not for you. I'm giving it to your daughter. Congratulations on her getting into junior high school."
A person may be poor but his ambitions are not, which can be considered a kind of spirit.
Dai Qing smiled, but couldn't help but say one more thing.
"We should look forward. If we are destined to meet again in a few years, take it."
Seeing Dai Qing's soothing eyes, the sister-in-law tightly grasped the ten yuan in her hand, with trembling corners of her mouth.
This is the first kindness my daughter has received since she was born.
"……Thank you!"
The sister-in-law left, looking back every few steps. Dai Qing turned around and looked up at the clear sky. The autumn wind was blowing, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling.
After the three rounds of gossip, Dai Qing packed up her things, carried a small stool and walked out of Triangle Park.
Not until she walked away did a car drive out from the side of Triangle Park. The window slowly lowered, revealing Fu Chunbo's slightly gloomy face.
"Boss, I've asked around. Master Dai has been setting up a stall in the park every now and then. In the past, she was accompanied by an old man, but today she is alone."
