Chapter 223 Call the Police
Shao Shufen rarely meets someone she gets along with, and even if it's just a chance encounter on the street, she talks to them with great enthusiasm.
Most of the stories were about people and events she encountered while doing business, interspersed with some complaints and insults, which Jiang Jianni listened to with great interest.
no way.
This woman has amazing eloquence.
I don't know if it's because I listened to a few crosstalk performances when I went to the capital, or because I lived in Tianjin for a while, but I used a lot of interjections like "hey" and "you think so?" when I spoke.
She herself doesn't realize it when she speaks, but to others it sounds strange and interesting.
Jiang Jianni felt that this woman's experiences alone could be written into a book.
Shao Shufen spoke enthusiastically for a while, but only realized the occasion was inappropriate after being reminded by her driver.
She slapped her forehead in frustration: "Oh dear, look at my brain."
"They pulled you aside on the main street and talked a lot of nonsense."
"By the way, where are you going? Why are you heading out?"
Jiang Jianni and Lu Xiangyang exchanged a glance and openly stated that they were going to ask someone for help in naming their child.
There's no point in hiding the fact that you're naming your child.
In the past, even if people were illiterate, those who were particular would offer some gifts to a scholar or an old student to help them choose a good name for their child.
Shao Shufen laughed heartily: "Oh my, you two are both college students, you're both top students."
"How come you can't even come up with a name for your own child?"
Jiang Jianni said helplessly, "I just wanted a name that sounds nice, is easy to remember, and has a good meaning. I've come up with a bunch of names, but I never feel like they're perfect."
Shao Shufen agreed wholeheartedly: "That makes sense."
“My eldest child was named by his father, and I also consulted a master to name my second child.”
There was nothing she could do; her second son's biological father was Russian.
She was worried that the child she had with the Russian man might have problems in the future, such as bad luck or something, so she wanted to find a fortune teller to give him a good name to ward off evil.
After all, the child's other half is Russian. What if his own bloodline can't suppress the bloodline on his father's side?
His father had to rely on accompanying women to earn money, which shows how unlucky he was.
She didn't want her son to resemble his father in the future.
Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang found it hard to express their feelings.
Jiang Jianni: "...His father was with you when they were in communism. We are all descendants of atheists, so there's no need to worry about that."
Shao Shufen laughed heartily: "I know, I'm just taking precautions, after all, their communism is unreliable."
No one expected that Big Brother would disintegrate.
The collapse of Big Brother not only gave people like Shao Shufen an opportunity to get rich overnight, and other countries that had long planned to seize national assets, but also saddened the people of China, a fellow communist country.
Everyone felt that the Big Brother hadn't gone very far, and they were worried that their own country wouldn't go far either.
Jiang Jianni now remembered Shao Shufen's talk about her chance to get rich overnight last year, and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Many novel protagonists seize the opportunity of Big Brother's disintegration to make a fortune.
Some are like Shao Shufen, who gets to eat meat and drink some soup, while others are more capable and can become the richest person in the world just by talking and manipulating resources.
But what happened? Even though she had these memories and saw the news being broadcast everywhere in newspapers and on the radio during that period, she couldn't think of making a fortune from it.
The key point is that even if she herself doesn't have the ability to do business, she could easily give a reminder to someone who does.
However, she was completely oblivious to the business opportunity involved.
It wasn't until a year later, when others were talking about their experiences, that I remembered it.
Jiang Jianni was going crazy.
Ahhhhh.
So you're saying she's not destined to become rich overnight, right?
If she wants to earn money, she has to rely on her own hands and earn it honestly, right?
Damn it, we're all time travelers, so why is there such a big difference between her and other time travelers?
Could it be because she doesn't have the protagonist's halo?
Jiang Jianni suddenly had an urge to find Fang Shuying and take off her protagonist aura and put it on her own head.
She talked about her troubles, and Lu Xiangyang was speechless.
How dare this person say they don't know how to make money?
This person has already bought several houses with the money he earned from writing books. How can he have the nerve to say that he doesn't know how to make money?
Shao Shufen laughed heartily: "It's alright, it's alright, I'll help you get rich later."
Jiang Jianni quickly shook her head and refused: "I can't take advantage of you."
Shao Shufen: "I haven't even thanked you for helping me yet. To be honest, the money I'm making now is thanks to you."
How can this be called taking advantage?
"Don't worry, I'll definitely make it up to you later."
After a few moments of polite refusals, Jiang Jianni quickly changed the subject: "Sis, we're always talking about us, why are you outside too?"
Shao Shufen slapped her forehead again: "Oh, I forgot to tell you."
"I haven't been having much luck lately, and I keep running into problems, so I'd like to find a master to help me figure out what's going on."
"Isn't this a coincidence? We're looking for the same person."
She also consulted the fortune teller in the suburban village: "I heard that this master is best at changing people's luck."
"I feel like I've been having bad luck lately, so I'd like to ask a master to help me figure out what the problem is and whether I can change my luck."
"I don't expect things to get better, I just hope I won't be as unlucky as I am now."
The things she encountered were indeed not major issues.
Similar to losing your keys, having your bicycle stolen, your car tire suddenly bursting, or even having your faucet burst, your toilet clogged, or having to go to the hospital for an IV drip because you're allergic to something you ate.
She also has two children. The older one keeps losing things lately, and the younger one cries a lot. They went to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctor said there was nothing wrong and the children were healthy.
Her parents were frequently ill, and her brother and sister-in-law were getting a divorce. Her money was no use; the couple continued to fight fiercely, and the children were so upset that they almost didn't want to go to school anymore.
These are not major issues, but so many things happening in such a short period of time is really overwhelming.
She pointed to her car: "Today was pretty unlucky too."
"The car suddenly broke down here and I can't start it no matter what I do."
"Old Liu can only drive, not repair cars. He checked for a long time but couldn't find the cause."
"You know, this place is in the middle of nowhere, I can't even find someone to fix my car."
"I was thinking of finding a passing tractor to tow the car back, but luckily I ran into you guys."
Jiang Jianni listened with curiosity: "Really? Something doesn't seem quite right to me."
Shao Shufen smiled wryly and held out her hand to show them: "Why would I lie to you? Look at my hand, it's covered in needle marks from the IV drips I've been getting these past few days."
"I just finished my last day of IV fluids yesterday."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to find someone."
Lu Xiangyang said seriously, "I don't think you should go to Mr. Blind about these things. You should call the police!"
Shao Shufen was startled: "No, it can't be that bad, can it?"
