"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. The old man lost his horse, but wasn't that a blessing in disguise? This matter needs to be viewed from both sides." Seeing Qin Xiaoyu staring at her with wide eyes, looking as if she didn't understand, Aunt Wang got a little annoyed and poked her on the head hard, saying, "You better be careful! When doing business, you have to be cautious in everything you do, otherwise you'll get cheated sooner or later! Do you think someone will protect you forever?"
"Godmother, you've been talking in such a cryptic way, I still don't understand." Qin Xiaoyu rubbed her aching head innocently.
"To put it bluntly, fortune telling is like betting on both sides. Everything has its right and wrong sides. If I bet on the right path, then the fortune telling is accurate. If I bet on the wrong path, then it's just a mistake. But people are strange; they remember the times when the fortune telling was accurate. Over time, even I started to believe it myself, hehe."
Aunt Wang's heartfelt words enlightened Qin Xiaoyu; indeed, she only said what people wanted to hear.
Believe it or not, this unassuming old lady has a pretty good grasp of psychology.
"Then godmother, is all this trouble of performing the ritual even useful?" Qin Xiaoyu wondered again.
"Whether it works or not, you'll see. I deal with those who have something to hide. Whether she believes it or not, I believe it." Aunt Wang smiled mysteriously, and Qin Xiaoyu believed her too.
Chen Lian's home wasn't as impoverished as Qin Xiaoyu had imagined, which showed that she was still capable.
She had four children in total. She got married at the age of seventeen and gave birth to four children in quick succession. Before she was twenty-five, her husband died on the construction site.
When Qin Xiaoyu heard this, she remembered what she was like when she was first reborn. At that time, she was just raising two children and living in the same courtyard as her mother-in-law. No matter how hard it was, she could still get food by being a little shameless.
But Chen Lian was all alone, raising four infants who were crying for milk. It was truly not easy for her.
Fortunately, all four children are now grown up; two are working, and two are in high school. Chen Lian is about to embark on her own life, and Qin Xiaoyu plans to help her plan the rest of her life.
"Sister Lian, why don't you come work at my garment factory?"
"No way! I'm used to making easy money. Who wants to go to work every day and be managed?" Sister Lian shook her head.
"Then you can go into sales." Qin Xiaoyu had already made up her mind. If she trained this person well, she could use him a lot in the future. Saying that she would let him work was just a test.
“Sure, I’ll do it if you give me a commission!” Chen Lian wasn’t stupid.
"Where do your two children work?" Qin Xiaoyu guessed that given her abilities, her children definitely didn't have formal jobs and were indeed doing odd jobs. One unloaded goods at the train station, and the other drove a tricycle.
Qin Xiaoyu was all taken to her cousin's wife's place, which was considered a way of settling her down.
Thinking of the bag of mugwort that her fourth sister-in-law had given her, Qin Xiaoyu, who hadn't seen her child in a long time and missed him terribly, brought a bag of things to visit and express her gratitude.
The two chubby boys are looking more and more like twins. It has to be said that Xiao Si's mother has a lot of breast milk.
She's gotten quite plump lately; she wasn't very tall to begin with, but now she's almost round. Her small face is rosy and full of mature womanly charm. Qi Si's gaze towards her softened considerably; at least he treated her like a woman again.
"Give me another daughter, and I'll give you ten thousand." Qi Si's ambitions grew increasingly wild.
"No, the doctor said she can't have another baby for three years, otherwise the incision will reopen." Fourth Sister-in-law dared not risk her daughter's life.
"Then I'll find someone else to have the baby," Qi Si muttered.
"You dare!" Qin Xiaoyu and Xiao Si's sister-in-law said in unison.
Qi Si shrank back in fright, having already been slapped by Qin Xiaoyu.
"I was just joking! Why are you in such a hurry?" Qi Si quickly retorted.
"You can joke about anything? Are you stupid!" Qin Xiaoyu kicked him in the shinbone again, seething with anger. Qi Si spun around, clutching his leg, not daring to cry out in pain.
Little Zhengxin saw his comical appearance and suddenly giggled.
Xiao Zichen was playing when he saw Xiao Zhengxin laughing, so he laughed along. Everyone in the room laughed. Children's laughter is the purest and most infectious.
Qin Xiaoyu drove her car to the gate of the military region and saw a Cherokee not far away. After thinking for a moment, she got out of the car.
"My grandfather wants you to have a meal. Get in the car," A Lei said calmly as she approached, having waited for an unknown amount of time.
Qin Xiaoyu didn't refuse and got into the car directly. If it were A Lei's invitation, she could refuse, but her grandfather was an elder who had helped her a lot, so she couldn't avoid it.
It was the same house as last time. There were only the three of them in the dining room, but there were six staff members around. Qin Xiaoyu felt that all eyes were on her plate, which made her a little embarrassed.
"You can go now," A'Lei said, having figured it out.
"I want to say thank you very much for coming this time..."
“You don’t need to tell me all this. My debt to you is long gone. This is a matter between this kid and you, and I’m not getting involved. He’s the one who asked me to invite you here.” Lei Bingzheng spoke casually.
Are glared at him angrily.
“Look at my grandson, he’s been sent abroad since he was a child, he’s been spoiled rotten.” Lei Bingzheng picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"Grandpa, you said you wouldn't care about my affairs! If you continue like this, I won't help you with your affairs either." All A Lei could do was protest.
"I didn't care, and I won't care in the future. If you think I'm in the way, I'll just move back to my room to eat." Lei Bingzheng was also a little arrogant.
"No need, it's fine here." Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped her.
Although the old man was different from when I saw him in the hospital, where he was imposing and intimidatingly rigid, he now had a nonchalant and slightly greasy demeanor. But having an old man around was better than having none at all.
You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. In the end, Qin Xiaoyu will still have to face A Lei.
After dinner, the old man went upstairs. A Lei led her up to the second floor, where a sunroom had been built on the protruding part of the balcony, and it was already full of flowers.
"Is everything arranged?" A Lei handed her a cup of coffee.
"Thank you, everything's arranged." Qin Xiaoyu maintained her distance from him throughout.
“Then let’s talk about our business.” Aretonic sat down in the tungsten chair.
Qin Xiaoyu stared at the hanging basket as soon as she came in, and she decided to install one in her new house.
Unable to resist the temptation, she walked to the hanging basket, climbed up, closed her eyes, and the basket swung, the slight dizziness from the weightlessness was very comfortable.
"My mind hasn't changed; I just want to live alone." Qin Xiaoyu was still expressing her feelings when she suddenly felt the basket stop moving. When she opened her eyes, A Lei was already standing beside her, leaning down and pressing against her. His eyes were bright and sparkling, filled with desire.
Qin Xiaoyu found herself in a very passive situation; she was in the hanging basket, and A Lei had blocked all her way out.
"Go back and sit down, let's talk properly." Qin Xiaoyu panicked and began to use delaying tactics.
