Chapter 39: Blessings and Misfortunes Are Fated by Marriage



After getting in the car, the old lady quietly asked Su Ruowan what Lao Xie had said to her just now that made her face turn so red.

Su Ruowan glanced at the car following behind them. Fortunately, she was not in the same car with Huo Shengnian, otherwise, she really didn't know how to face him.

Su Ruowan whispered in the old lady's ear, "Thank you, grandma, for reminding me not to be tempted by handsome men."

“…”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she immediately understood what her best friend meant.

"Before, I told your Grandma Xie that my grandson is much more handsome and good-looking than her grandson. If our two grandsons met you at the same time, you would definitely choose my grandson and would definitely look down on that Hui from their family."

“…”

After returning to Fengcheng, Feng Yu first sent the old lady to Fushouju. Several young people had a meal with the old lady at Fushouju. Su Ruowan stayed to give acupuncture to Grandpa Lei.

However, Su Ruowan didn’t bring her acupuncture kit, and the few needles she had on her for self-defense were not enough.

Huo Shengnian arranged for Ling Yue to drive back to get it. Su Ruowan's medicine box was placed in an easy-to-find place in the living room. After Ling Yue knew the exact location, he left.

Mo Youwei did not go. When he left, he said to Su Ruowan, "Mrs. Huo, I will call your husband on the day of the transfer. You two should come together then."

"Okay, Lawyer Mo, thank you for your hard work."

Su Ruowan actually wanted to refuse Grandma Xie's gift, but she really couldn't. Even her grandmother asked her to accept it first and let Grandma Xie feel at ease.

Only then did Su Ruowan sign and put her fingerprints on it.

The dinner at Fushouju was simple. Since there were many people today, the old lady prepared a special meal for them.

It is a special small kitchen. In the evening, they serve light vegetable porridge with some refreshing side dishes and a large platter of braised food, all of which is meat without bones.

It was exactly half past six when we finished dinner.

The old lady asked Huo Shengnian to go out for a walk to help digest the food, and then called Old Man Lei and asked him to come over.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Lei came over with crutches.

"Good evening, Grandpa Lei. Have you eaten?" Su Ruowan took the initiative to greet him.

"I've eaten, Wanwan. This Fushouju is full of elderly people, and everyone eats early, unlike you young people. I've worked hard for you today. It's so late, and I asked you to come and give me acupuncture."

"It's not hard. I just stopped by. Grandpa Lei, don't take it to heart. From now on, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just call me and I'll give you acupuncture. It's free."

"Okay, okay, you can give Grandpa Lei acupuncture today, and Grandpa Lei will tell your fortune later. You don't have to pay for the acupuncture, and Grandpa Lei won't charge you for the fortune either. How about that?"

"Okay." Before Su Ruowan could say anything, the old lady beside her agreed for her, "Then you have to tell Wanwan's fortune later, especially about marriage."

"no problem."

The old lady smiled and winked at Su Ruowan, who smiled helplessly.

The old lady was very happy. She thought that Lao Lei would say something good soon, and she would call someone to send him two bottles of good wine as a token of gratitude.

"Grandpa Lei, shall we start the acupuncture now?" Su Ruowan opened the medicine box and turned on the spotlight.

"Okay, my knee started hurting the day before yesterday, just as the weather forecast said. It started raining here at noon today. Last night, the pain was so severe I could barely stand it. It's a little better now, but not much, just a little bit."

"Yeah, I understand."

Su Ruowan pressed the button for Grandpa Lei with a focused expression. The two old men kept silent so as not to disturb Su Ruowan.

Soon, Su Ruowan found the location for the acupuncture and began to insert the needle.

Before eight o'clock, Su Ruowan finished the injection. After a short nap, Mr. Lei got down from the recliner and lifted his leg tentatively.

"Hey, hey, Old Liu, don't you think this girl is amazing? My old broken knee was in excruciating pain when I first came here, but now it really doesn't hurt at all."

Old Master Lei was so proud that he threw away his cane and walked back and forth in the living room several times.

Su Ruowan quickly advised, "Grandpa Lei, we still don't recommend that you walk like this. The pain in your joints needs treatment and care. You have to cooperate and take good care of yourself, otherwise the pain will come back soon."

"Yes, yes, Wanwan is right. Then Grandpa Lei will have to listen to you carefully." Grandpa Lei immediately sat down obediently.

"I'll come over tomorrow afternoon to give you another acupuncture treatment. The pain should be less severe for a long time. We'll then slowly look for a treatment plan. Your joint pain has been going on for too long, so you need to slowly recuperate."

"Yeah, thank you, Wanwan. I'm happy as long as the pain can be relieved. I don't ask for a cure."

"You're welcome, Grandpa Lei."

"Lao Lei, Wanwan has solved your pain. Shouldn't you tell her fortune?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell Wanwan's fortune right away. I carry this eating tool with me."

After saying that, Mr. Lei took the dining utensils and walked to the yard. He looked at the weather and the direction, muttering to himself, looking very professional.

Finally, I chose the stone table in the yard. At this moment, the night sky was full of twinkling stars, indicating that tomorrow would be another sunny day.

After Old Man Lei picked a direction that Su Ruowan couldn't understand, he put his hands together and chanted, "Heaven and earth, may the Supreme Lord Laojun appear and open."

The old lady sat down opposite Mr. Lei, staring at his red face, which was similar to Guan Gong's, with her bright eyes.

Not long after, Mr. Lei clasped his hands together and made a snapping sound. "Good fortune, Old Liu, great news. A while ago, Old Xie asked me to tell the fortune for Wanwan, and the fortune showed that she was in trouble."

"Today, the hexagram shows that Wanwan's calamity is gone. This means that Wanwan has met a noble person. With the help of this noble person, Wanwan will get better and better in the future."

"What about marriage?" It will definitely get better and better. With her around, Huo Shengnian can't make trouble and dares not bully Wanwan. Whether the marriage between these two can last a long time is what she cares about most.

What she was most worried about was that Wanwan had previously liked that brat from the Xie family, and that brat was not the same type as her Shengnian. She was afraid that Wanwan would not like Shengnian's style, wouldn't that be bad?

If she had been more proactive in her prime, and had gotten this done sooner and had a fat baby, she would have felt more at ease. But this boy acted like this.

Sooner or later, Wanwan will be ruined. Where can she find such a good granddaughter-in-law?

"Marriage? According to the hexagram, Wanwan's marriage should have arrived. But, this blessing is also marriage, and this disaster is also... marriage?"

"What do you mean? Old man Lei, explain it to me clearly. Say something I can understand."

"I don't understand it either. I'm just half-hearted. Even if you ask me to explain it, I can't. It's obviously a good omen, but why does it hide disaster?"

Furthermore, the secret cannot be revealed, otherwise his life will be shortened. He still wants to live a few more years.

"It shouldn't be like this..." Old Master Lei stroked his chin, he himself was a little confused.

Could it be that he didn't predict the direction correctly and it was off by an inch?
