Chapter 42 Many Children, Few Blessings
Xiao Tao was still holding a knife in her hand when she curiously glanced at her own screen, which displayed the same message.
Chen Jinhua: ?
audience:? ? ?
Yu Hui: ? ? ? ? ? ?
All the people could see was Master Yu suddenly standing up in the camera's view, furiously and impotently raging, opening his mouth and saying something, but no one outside could hear a single word.
Chen Jinhua stared at the screen angrily, her face flushed with rage: "What do you mean by this? I came here sincerely seeking help, and this is how you treat me? Are you trying to charge me? How much? We rural people really don't have much savings."
Zhang Mo's voice carried a calm rhythm as she said lightly, "Please be patient. I just feel that this process is going too fast. Before I tell you the answer, we have a few questions that we need to ask in detail."
Enraged, Chen Jinhua blurted out: "My daughter's disappearance is a huge deal to me, but you treat it like a business transaction. Do you have any conscience?!"
Zhang Mo looked at her coldly: "Madam, I haven't made a single penny from you so far. Shut your mouth and do things my way on my turf. I don't mind giving you a 'silence' gift in return."
Chen Jinhua remained silent.
Zhang Mo: "Then, next. I want to ask Master Yu a technical question. Answer me honestly, and I'll lift your silencing. Nodding means you agree."
While Yu Hui was still holding his head up, Xiao Tao stood up and sat on the chair. With one chubby little hand, she patted Yu Hui's head, and with the other hand, she supported Yu Hui's chin, making him nod.
Yu Hui, who had been furious, immediately calmed down, though he still felt a little wronged. Xiao Tao then cut a small piece of lamb leg for him with a knife and personally put it into his mouth.
Yu Hui still looked unhappy, but the slight upturn of his lips could no longer be suppressed.
To be honest, it's a little sweet.
I was totally fooled by their display of wit.
Why was an idol drama suddenly inserted into the melodrama segment?
[Isn't this a search for relatives? What are they doing?]
Zhang Mo: "My question is very simple. Can you tell how many children a person will have in their lifetime just by looking at their face? I've lifted the censorship between you and Xiao Tao, so give me a proper answer."
Yu Hui, whose silence had been lifted, snorted and said while chewing on a lamb leg, "Nonsense, that's easy. For example, the woman we're talking to right now looks like she has many children."
Zhang Mo said "Oh" meaningfully, "Then please ask this lady to provide her birth date and time so that our Master Yu can calculate it more accurately."
Chen Jinhua's expression changed instantly on the other end of the video call. What had initially been anger and suspicion now turned to panic: "Master, I think this isn't necessary. I just want to find my daughter... She has nothing to do with the other children, right...?"
"Why do you always make excuses every time I ask you for something? Do you really want to find your daughter?" Yu Hui was getting annoyed with the person on the other end of the line, so he subconsciously took a closer look at her face. "Hmm...hey, your face is quite interesting. People say that having many children brings many blessings, but you have the face of having many children but few blessings. You will most likely end up with a miserable old age and no one to see you off."
Chen Jinhua flew into a rage, her voice sharp and shrill: "Where did this charlatan come from? A little brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet pretending to be a master?! What nonsense are you spouting?!" What followed was a string of dialect that even Zhang Mo couldn't understand. Although she couldn't understand it, judging from the tone, it must have been quite vulgar.
Yu Hui's anger was completely ignited. This was simply outrageous! Now, anyone could jump out and question his abilities?!
Yu Hui's voice was almost a roar, his angry finger slamming into the screen: "Don't think I can't calculate it just because I didn't get your birth date and time! Your face is just too typical!"
I'll tell you—
You'll have at least six children in your lifetime, but only one will stay with you, and unfortunately, that child will die young, before you! Your marriage will also break down, and you'll die alone and miserable!
Such words were a terrible curse for a mother. Chen Jinhua had completely lost her mind. Her eyes were almost spitting fire as she roared like thunder: "You're talking nonsense! My son won't die! He has so many older sisters. As long as I can find one to give him a kidney transplant, he will definitely survive."
The moment he finished speaking, the live stream chat was filled with question marks.
Chen Jinhua finally realized what she had just said. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes. The next second, she decisively cut off the connection and disappeared without a trace.
Curious netizens clicked on the account and found that it was already in a "deleted" state.
Yu Hui: "......"
Yu Hui: "?"
Yu Hui: "??????"
[Good heavens, how shameless! She just said she had kidney failure, but it turns out it was her son who had kidney failure. Was she trying to trick her daughter into coming back to donate a kidney?]
The master said he had at least six children, but only one lived with him. Isn't that a classic example of a family with many older sisters and younger siblings?
[Is this a family-wide package of wanting a younger brother, hoping for his arrival, loving him, and longing for him?]
[If you wanted a daughter, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until you're over 20? And you keep asking if she's married? I think you just want her dowry.]
"What do you mean lost? I bet it was sold. I might believe you accidentally lost one child, but could you really be 'accidentally' five times?"
[It turns out that his so-called desperate search for his daughter was just a self-directed and self-acted performance. What a master actor!]
What's wrong with this world? Is it possible to sell even the most basic humanity?
Yu Hui was clearly stunned. He blinked a few times before belatedly realizing that he had been tricked by a human.
His mind was a little foggy: "No... wait a minute..."
Xiao Tao thoughtfully brought him a glass of water.
Yu Hui took a sip, then looked up at Zhang Mo on the screen in shock: "Did you already find out?"
Zhang Mo: "Let's guess, with a little bit of science."
This time, Yu Hui was genuinely seeking knowledge: "What science?"
Zhang Mo: "I searched the table of medicines behind her, and they were indeed for treating kidney failure, but some of them were for children."
Yu Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "...I, I give up." This time, he was truly convinced by Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "So, Master Yu, don't think you know everything just because you can predict the future. Ask more questions when you encounter problems, and practice your cooking more."
Yu Hui: "......"
It's one thing to be talked about like that while playing games, but now even in his own professional field, Master Yu is being talked about like that. He's losing his composure.
