Chapter 07 Chapter 7
There are limited means of publicity these days.
The reason why Master Wang is so famous in the surrounding villages is because of word of mouth.
The aunts and uncles from each village are his main propaganda forces.
These days, news travels very quickly in rural areas. After finishing work in the fields, villagers you meet by chance always like to chat about family matters.
After talking about things at home, we also like to chat about gossip from the surrounding area.
If these two people spread the news that he was a liar today, the three or four nearby villages would probably be filled with rumors tomorrow.
Master Wang is still counting on several surrounding villages to make money, and he will definitely not allow He Tingting to slander him like this.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He was just about to analyze the fortune for everyone based on the eight characters when He Tingting interrupted him.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm from the He family in Jia Village. When my father died some time ago, there was a huge commotion. Who in the surrounding area doesn't know about it?"
Li Hua also reacted at this time.
Someone beside him chimed in, "Yes, my uncle died in a car accident. How many people die in car accidents these days? When this happened, everyone in the village knew about it."
Master Wang frowned as he listened.
Could it be that he really calculated it wrong?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he wanted to explain it as soon as possible.
"Are you sure you gave me your father's birth date? You're still young, so it's normal for you to get the time and day wrong."
The two guests who came to Master Wang specifically to solve their problems were already leaning towards He Tingting.
The older lady stood up.
"I've heard about this too. Before the New Year, such a person died in Jia Village. Master, could it be that you made a mistake?"
People make mistakes, and horses stumble.
Even Master Wang must have made a mistake once or twice.
She had good intentions in trying to make peace, but Master Wang couldn't stand hearing such talk.
His face turned cold at that moment.
"My fortune telling is always the most accurate."
Master Wang cast a sinister look at He Tingting and said, "If you don't believe me, write down your birth chart and I'll take a look at it for you."
This is exactly what He Tingting was waiting for.
He happily picked up a pen and paper and wrote down his own birth date.
Master Wang frowned even deeper when he saw it. "When someone interprets your horoscope, you must be honest. It is absolutely unacceptable to write a false horoscope."
She was clearly born in the year of Kuichou, so how could it be written as the year of Jimao?
"Master Wang didn't know me before, so how did you know that what I wrote was wrong?"
As soon as He Tingting said this, Master Wang felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He glanced sideways at the little girl who had been causing him trouble since she entered the door.
Only then did I realize that there was no sadness in her eyes at all, only wariness and scrutiny.
Only then did Master Wang realize that something was wrong.
He hunted geese all day, and today he was pecked in the eye by a swallow. He was actually mistaken.
This little girl is not a simple-minded person.
Is it possible that he is really going to fall here today?
Just as I was thinking about how to answer this question, I heard the movement of new people in the yard.
"Master, Master! The Li family's parents are here!"
Master Wang instantly felt relieved and smiled heartily.
The solution came to my door.
"You asked me how I knew that. Your uncle just mentioned your horoscope, and I've already looked it over. What you gave me is different from what he said, so of course it's fake."
He Guan stepped into the house at this time.
After receiving Master Wang's gaze, he immediately agreed, "Master is right."
In fact, I don’t even know what Master Wang is talking about.
He Tingting's eyes quickly swept around the three people who entered the room.
I already have a decision in mind.
As soon as the Li couple entered the room, their eyes never left her.
It’s like looking at the meat at a pork stall, picking it out with a mixture of determination.
This way of looking at the goods made people uncomfortable, but He Tingting knew that what they would say next would make people even more uncomfortable.
Sure enough, the two of them asked as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Master, are you sure? Is there really a girl with this birth date?"
Master Wang walked over with a smile, "Really? Isn't it right here?"
The couple had good ears and heard Master Wang's words before they even entered the door. They were guessing in their hearts.
After their guess came true, the two were overjoyed and smiled with satisfaction.
The woman even wanted to come up and hold He Tingting's hand.
"Okay, this is good. Our Xiao Fang will definitely be satisfied with this."
He didn't take He Tingting's opinion seriously at all.
People's attention is always easily diverted.
The lady who had just spoken for He Tingting was now watching the fun.
"Master Wang also reads marriage predictions? My son isn't married yet. I'll ask him to read it for my son later."
Li Hua, who was standing behind He Tingting, had no idea what was going on.
I thought He Guan had finally become reliable and found a good marriage for my niece.
He Guan then cheerfully replied, "As long as you're satisfied, that's fine. Tingting is just born well, so she's lucky enough to be paired with your Xiao Fang."
This was said like a pairing of pig and dog, which made He Tingting laugh out of anger.
"What are you talking about, Uncle? You haven't even asked me about this yet, so how can you say whether it's suitable or not?"
Facing He Tingting, He Guan's expression changed instantly.
"Marriage is something that is decided by parents and matchmakers. Why are you, a little girl, getting involved?"
Master Wang had the upper hand at this point and really wanted to vent all his anger.
Then he said, "That's right, marriage is still decided by the elders. Do you think your own elders will harm you?"
Are there not many people in this world who have been harmed by their elders?
He Tingting wanted to laugh when she heard it.
However, all the people present were elders, and after hearing Master Wang's words, they all nodded in agreement.
He Tingting did not follow their topic, but took the initiative to speak.
"Excuse me, how old is your son, whom you call Xiao Fang, this year?"
Seeing that He Tingting was willing to take the initiative to talk to them, the Li couple was very happy.
He began to introduce his son's situation enthusiastically.
"I'm twenty-one this year, just one year older than you."
He Tingting asked again, "Do you have a house at home?"
"Yes, since Xiao Fang turned eighteen, we have prepared the money for his wedding. As long as you are willing to marry us, we can build a new house at any time."
These words moved the two ladies who had been watching the show silently.
"My goodness, with such good conditions, why hasn't anyone introduced someone to my daughter?"
"The girl is also very pretty. If it was your daughter, she might not even be interested in her."
The more He Tingting asked, the more the Li couple across from them felt that this matter had potential, and their smiles grew wider.
"Then I have one last question."
He Tingting asked with a soft smile: "How long has the noble young master been dead?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
He Guan, who originally thought he had He Tingting under control, widened his eyes.
The Li couple looked like they had swallowed a □□. They opened their mouths for a long time but couldn't make any sound.
It was the old lady who was watching the fun who spoke first and broke the silence.
"This is too bad, a ghost marriage?"
Li Fang's mother's face instantly fell.
"What do you mean by 'harm'? If our Xiao Fang were still alive, we could find any good girl we wanted. Why would we even bother looking for one whose parents are both dead?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
The two ladies also realized that the matter was not simple and stopped talking casually.
After breaking down, Li's parents saw that He Tingting was really unwilling, so they stopped pretending to be nice and started to attack Master Wang and He Guan.
"Master Wang, we agreed before that you would find a suitable girl for us to marry Xiao Fang. We've already received the money, but you can't do this."
The couple were brought from the city. They had some family background and were very generous.
He gave one thousand just for finding the person, and also agreed to double the amount if the job was done.
It's hard for people to earn even a thousand yuan a year these days, so Master Wang would never be willing to spend that money.
He Guan was even more reluctant to do so, as he was short of money.
Master Wang said that as long as He Tingting was willing to marry Li Fang, he would give him, the matchmaker, a red envelope of 100 yuan.
One hundred dollars was enough for him to make a comeback in the casino.
Maybe his life will turn around from now on!
"He Tingting, don't be so ungrateful! They chose you because they like you. Otherwise, with your family background and appearance, how could you find a good man willing to marry you? I advise you to agree quickly. I can also give you a ten-yuan dowry so that you don't have to be so embarrassed."
He Guan could really talk about a dowry of ten yuan.
He Tingting laughed out loud, "Second Uncle, you are so humorous."
She earned more than this amount today.
Seeing that she was not afraid, He Guan could only threaten her with He Lili.
"You have a little sister at home. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Lili. Only if you marry a good family can you afford to send Lili to school in the future. Otherwise, she won't even be able to finish elementary school. How will she get married in the future?"
He Tingting frowned when she heard this.
It is true that she wants to send Lili to study, but the purpose of studying is not to marry a good man, but to gain knowledge and have the power to choose one's own life.
He Guan really disgusted her.
She was no longer polite.
Speak to the Li couple.
"It seems that you all trust this Master Wang very much. Unfortunately, this master is a liar and his level is not as good as mine."
Master Wang never expected her to say that. He laughed and said, "What a joke! You're just a little girl, and you dare to say you can tell fortunes?"
Seeing that he had taken the bait, He Tingting immediately said, "If you don't believe me, let's have a competition to see who can predict her son's current situation."
Upon hearing about this competition, Master Wang became more confident.
The last time they came, the couple told him about Li Fang's current situation.
He was the first to speak: "The body is being kept there, waiting for the wedding and burial."
He Tingting appeared more confident and spoke frankly.
"Someone is trying to pry open his coffin."
The Li couple, who were about to declare her the loser, were suddenly shocked.
"You're talking nonsense! When we came out, Xiao Fang's coffin was still there."
He Tingting added mysteriously, "You may not believe it, but be careful on the way back. It's going to rain soon."
The sky outside is still sunny, no one believes this.
But since it involved their son's body, the two rushed back as soon as possible.
In order to verify the winner, everyone followed the two.
Looking at the clear sky, Master Wang was extremely proud.
"It's not enough for the little girl to speak so arrogantly, she even dares to make random changes to the weather. Now she's showing her weakness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a damp coolness on his face.
Looking up, the sun was still high in the sky.
It turned out to be a rare sun shower.
The hairs on Master Wang's back stood up instantly, and he looked at He Tingting as if he had seen a ghost.
Could it be that——
