Zhang Meng, who stayed behind, waited for almost ten minutes under the waiter's strange gaze before Gu Mingtai, who had left, fell back.
But this time when he came back, he was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a graying Zhongshan suit.
"Comrade, I need two bars of soap, please." The middle-aged man walked to the counter and said to the waiter.
The waiter's attitude was not very good. "Do you have a license? If you don't have a license, you can't buy it, do you understand?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I have the ID, look." After that, the middle-aged man took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper and showed it to the waiter here.
The waiter took a look, looked up at him, said nothing, turned around and took two bars of soap from the counter and gave them to him.
"Two bars of soap for five dollars." The middle-aged man immediately looked at Gu Mingtai.
Gu Mingtai immediately stepped forward and threw in a five-yuan note.
When the two bars of soap were in her hands, Zhang Meng still felt that they were a little unreal.
After a moment of joy, Zhang Meng immediately looked up at the man in front of her, "Gu Mingtai, how did you do that?"
Looking at the smile on her face, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and felt that everything he did was worth it.
"I promised this uncle that I would go to his house later to do him a favor. He asked me to lend him my residence permit to buy us some soap."
The middle-aged man who had been standing next to them smiled honestly, "Yes, this comrade is really amazing. He saw at a glance that someone in my family was sick and even said he could treat my family member."
Zhang Meng looked up at Gu Mingtai, and it happened that this guy was also smiling at her.
The young couple were both very happy.
When going to the middle-aged man's home with him, Zhang Meng secretly asked Gu Mingtai how he knew that someone in the middle-aged man's family was sick.
"You've forgotten that I can tell fortunes. This uncle's face suggests wealth but a weak offspring. Especially now, his offspring palace is even weaker. It's not hard to guess that someone in his family is sick."
"Gu Mingtai, you are so awesome." During this trip, she felt more and more that the man she chose was really awesome.
Gu Mingtai blushed slightly, feeling extremely embarrassed. "No way, Xiao Meng, you're the real deal. If it weren't for your talisman at the Xiao family, we might all have died at the hands of that brat."
Hearing him talk about this, Zhang Meng suddenly remembered the question that had been bothering her.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly remembered the middle-aged man walking in front of her and immediately lowered her voice. "Gu Mingtai, there's something I've been wanting to ask you. Why do those ghosts and those who practice sorcery say my blood smells so good when they touch me? Why is that?"
Gu Mingtai pursed his lips, his expression a little serious. "I don't know for now. When I get back, I'll ask Master. Master is knowledgeable and will definitely know the reason."
At this moment, the middle-aged man walking in front suddenly shouted, "Comrades, we've arrived. This is it."
When Zhang Meng looked up, she realized that they had actually arrived outside a "Shikumen" house in the city.
As soon as they stood up, they heard a baby crying loudly from a house next door.
"She's crying again. She's been crying every day for the past half month. It's been giving our whole family a headache."
The middle-aged man sighed and quickened his pace as he walked inside.
Zhang Meng, who stayed outside, looked up at Gu Mingtai and said, "Gu Mingtai, this baby's cry is a little weird. It's not too tragic, is it? Look, the voice is hoarse, but the baby is still crying. It's crying for its life."
Gu Mingtai frowned and took her hand, "Let's go in and take a look at the situation first."
The two walked into a somewhat dark and messy room. In the room, a woman was trying desperately to comfort a baby in her arms who was crying with all his might.
"I told you that the child must have bumped into something unclean. I told you to find a witch to look at the child, but you refused. Now if you keep crying like this, the child's life will be in jeopardy. How are we going to explain this to our son and daughter-in-law?"
The woman cried and complained to the middle-aged man. Zhang Meng glanced at the baby in her arms from a distance. The baby was so small, and his eyes were swollen because he had been crying for a long time.
"Um, can I hug you for a moment?" Zhang Meng interrupted the couple.
The woman, who also had swollen eyes, glanced at Zhang Meng and immediately looked at the middle-aged man.
"They came back with me. This man said he has a way to cure our grandson." The middle-aged man immediately explained to the woman.
The woman then let down her guard, glanced at Zhang Meng, and nodded.
Zhang Meng smiled and immediately walked over to pick up the baby in her arms.
To the couple's surprise, the grandson who had been crying loudly in front of them just now stopped crying immediately after he was in Zhang Meng's arms. Now he has completely stopped crying and seems to be sleeping soundly.
"How could this happen? This child has been crying every day for the past two weeks, and no one can comfort him. But how come he stops crying when he comes to you? Comrade, how did you coax my grandson?"
Zhang Meng glanced down at the talisman paper hidden under the child's clothes and smiled. "I don't know why, maybe this child and I are destined to be together."
The woman didn't think much about it and thought so in her heart.
However, when they saw their grandson finally stop crying after crying for so long, the couple's mood suddenly became much brighter.
