Chapter 167: Finding a Witch
Yang Xiumin's eyes lit up when she heard Su Qiuyan say that. She turned around and asked, "Second sister-in-law? Do you have any connections?" It was okay before, and you could go to any temple to worship, but now feudal superstition is not allowed! People who know this have hidden themselves, and most people really don't know the connections.
Su Qiuyan put her finger in front of her mouth and whispered, then carefully glanced behind her and said softly, "I really know, but I told you, you can't tell mom and your second brother about this, they won't let me do it."
"I will definitely not tell you, second sister-in-law. Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut." Yang Xiumin nodded repeatedly.
Su Qiuyan glanced at her, then stretched out two fingers and pinched them, "Then you have to prepare the money. People with such ability usually don't help others easily, let alone in this situation."
"I understand, sister-in-law, but how much money do you need to prepare?" Yang Xiumin still felt a little nervous when she said this. Even though she had been working for a long time, she didn't have much money on her.
Su Qiuyan glanced at Yang Xiumin and said, "It will cost at least five or six yuan each time. Considering your condition, you may need to go three times for it to be effective."
"Huh~" Yang Xiumin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, she still had five or six pieces. Then she asked again, "Then, sister-in-law, when are we going?"
"It depends on your schedule. I'm free any day anyway, but you have to wait until dark."
"Okay, then tomorrow?" Yang Xiumin couldn't wait even a moment.
After dinner the next day, Yang Xiumin took the initiative to clean up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them, which made Sun Erni nod her head repeatedly. "Xiumin is sensible now. She knows how to wash the dishes without being urged. This also allows me to take a break."
"Children will grow up and become sensible. By the way, Xiufen is going to give birth in September? It's only a few months away. You should prepare to save up the eggs, right?" Yang Fugui narrowed his eyes, thinking that his little grandson would be born soon, and he would be a grandfather soon.
"It's September, but it's only June now. It's too early and the eggs won't keep well. It's okay. I've asked someone to send them to me when the time comes. They're guaranteed to be fresh." Sun Erni was happy when she thought about her eldest daughter who was about to give birth. She was finally getting a grandson. Of course, a granddaughter would be nice too.
At this time, Yang Xiumin poked her head out of the kitchen, "Mom and Dad, I almost forgot, my colleague asked me to go to her house after dinner, there is a book for me, the dishes have been washed, I will go now!"
When Sun Erni heard this, she looked out the window. It was already getting dark. "Let your dad take you there on his bike! I'm worried about you, a girl."
"Oh, no need. It's not far. If I need my dad to take me there, people will laugh at me and say I'm a baby who hasn't been weaned yet!" Yang Xiumin was reluctant. What's more important was that she had something important to do tonight. How could she let her father go with her?
At this time, Su Qiuyan came out of the room and said with a smile: "Mom, why don't you let me take Xiumin out? I just need to go to my mother's house."
Sun Erni glanced at Su Qiuyan and asked, "Why are you going to your mother's house so late at night?"
"Well, my sister-in-law is about to give birth. I don't have time to visit her during the day. Fortunately, I have some sugar at home, so I thought of sending it to her." Su Qiuyan said as she raised the sugar in her hand.
"Okay, Xiumin, follow your second sister-in-law!"
"Oh, okay, Mom." Yang Xiumin agreed happily, then looked at Su Qiuyan, and they smiled at each other.
After leaving the courtyard, Su Qiuyan raised the sugar in her hand and said with a smile: "Xiumin, come with me to my mother's house to deliver the things first. We happen to be on the same road."
"Well, okay, then I won't go upstairs. I'll wait for you downstairs. Sister-in-law, you better hurry up. I'm afraid of the dark."
"Okay, I'll come down after I give you the things."
Yang Xiumin waited downstairs at Su Qiuyan's parents' house for three to five minutes, and then someone came down. She hugged Su Qiuyan's arm and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are quite fast!"
"We still have some important business to do. Come this way." Su Qiuyan led Yang Xiumin to the path, and the two talked as they walked.
"By the way, second sister-in-law, how do you know this fortune-teller? Have you come to see her too?" Yang Xiumin asked curiously as she saw Su Qiuyan seemed familiar with the place.
"I guess so. I had this period once before, when I wasn't pregnant with Jingjing. But I couldn't bear to spend a lot of money that time, so I just prayed for a baby. If I had known, I would have spent all the money in one go. Who knows, Jingjing might have been a boy." Su Qiuyan still felt a little regretful when she talked about this.
Yang Xiumin felt uncomfortable when she heard this. "Second sister-in-law, I find that there is something wrong with your thinking. What's wrong with having a girl? You are still a girl yourself! Why are you so eager to have a boy? You need to change this problem."
Su Qiuyan was amused. She looked Yang Xiumin up and down and said with a smile, "Xiumin, you are talking without any pain in your waist. You will understand after you get married. Sometimes it is not you who want to have a boy, but the people around you who put pressure on you. Without a son, you always feel inferior. Besides, you said that in the situation yesterday, Mom went to Xu Baoju to smash and destroy things. Do you think that if your family did not have a son, people would have come to your door long ago? How could you let Mom bully you without saying a word?"
Yang Xiumin knew that although her second sister-in-law's words were a bit rough, they were still reasonable. She sighed helplessly, "Ah, when can I stop being proud of my son? I think daughters are good too."
Su Qiuyan burst out laughing, "Xiumin, do you believe what I said? Women, when they are young, they live and eat at their parents' house, and when they can make money, they live at their husband's house. What do you think their parents get for all the hard work? That's why people want to give birth to sons, at least they won't lose money, right?"
"No way, sister-in-law, I just don't know how to..."
"What can't you do? Your parents paid for your job! Even if you can pay it back, you will be married by the time you pay it back. By then, the money you earn will be spent on your in-laws. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
"But..." Yang Xiumin wanted to say something, but couldn't seem to find any point of rebuttal.
"Okay, don't worry about it. You'll understand after you get married. We're here. I'll go knock on the door. Wait." Su Qiuyan stopped at the door of a shabby courtyard first, then walked forward, bent her fingers, and knocked lightly three times.
Yang Xiumin turned around and looked around, and found that the yard was at the innermost part of the alley, separated by a wall.
With a creak, the door opened a little, revealing a pair of bright eyes. "Who are you looking for?"
