Chapter 105: Fortune Telling
Chen Juan and Su Jiaojiao were also chatting in the room and talking about personal matters.
Just like in her previous life, Chen Juan said without hesitation that she wanted to find a son-in-law who could take care of her parents in the future.
As for the partner, as long as he or she has good character, that's enough.
Su Jiaojiao remembered her cousin-in-law Zhao Shunfa from her previous life. Zhao Shunfa had four siblings: an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. Their father died a few years ago, and their mother raised them alone. When Chen Juan met Zhao Shunfa, his brother was already married, and his mother agreed to let Zhao Shunfa marry into the family.
After marriage, Zhao Shunfa's mother lived with Chen Juan and Zhao Shunfa. Zhao Shunfa was very capable and Chen Juan had a good temper, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along quite well.
In Su Jiaojiao's eyes, Chen Juan has both a son and a daughter, and lives a happy life, which is pretty good.
Chen Juan and Su Jiaojiao are cousins and best friends. She told Su Jiaojiao all her inner thoughts: "My family is not well off, I'm not good-looking, I'm not tall, I don't have much. My only advantage is my young age, so I need to find a partner now."
In her previous life, Su Jiaojiao thought that she and Chen Juan were of the same age and had similar ideas.
But in this life, she clearly felt that Chen Juan was much more mature than her peers. She didn't think so much in her previous life.
"You mean, I have to go on blind dates starting this year?" Su Jiaojiao remembered that before Zhao Shunfa, her uncle Chen Guichang had introduced a guy to Chen Juan. They dated for a while, but later broke up for unknown reasons. At that time, she was working overtime day and night in the garment factory and had no time to take care of these things.
She only heard about it from Chen Guilan later.
At that time, Chen Guilan also complained about Chen Guichang, saying that either he should just stop interacting with her or he should just interfere in these matters.
"Yes, your uncle came back before the New Year and said he wanted to introduce me to someone. He said we should meet in a few days." Chen Juan was a 19-year-old girl after all, and she felt a little embarrassed. "Your uncle said that there is no problem for the two brothers to marry into his family. It all depends on whether the man likes me."
"What does he mean by that?" Su Jiaojiao was unhappy when she heard it. "We haven't even met yet, and you're already praising the guy so highly. Even if he likes me, I may not like him back. It's better not to meet this guy!"
It didn't work out anyway.
Waste of time, waste of feelings.
"Since your uncle has asked, I can't refuse." Chen Juan is different from Su Jiaojiao. She doesn't want to miss this blind date opportunity. In her opinion, while she is still young, she should see more and go on more blind dates so that she has time to compare. If she waits until she is twenty-four or twenty-five, she will have no chance.
"Okay, then go and meet him!" Su Jiaojiao couldn't stop them anymore. Everyone was moving forward according to their own path. She couldn't move or change anything easily. She could only change herself.
What's more, Chen Juan is already living a good life, so there is no need for her to get involved.
"What about you?" Chen Juan was tired after working all day, so she asked her while lying on the kang, "What kind of person do you want to find in the future?"
"Me?" Su Jiaojiao didn't expect Chen Juan to ask her that. Without hesitation, she said, "I'm still in school. How could I be thinking about these things?"
"Tell me, I'm not asking you to find one right now." Chen Juan pulled a pillow for her, and Su Jiaojiao lay down too. Looking at the ceiling covered with newspapers above her head, she said softly, "I've never thought about getting married..."
She couldn't tell Chen Juan about her past life.
Chen Juan wouldn't believe it even if I told her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What girl doesn't want to get married?" Chen Juan covered her mouth and laughed, teasing her for the first time. "Your standards are definitely higher than mine, so your future partner will definitely be tall and handsome, and will treat you very well."
Su Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly.
Such an embarrassing topic...
"Oh right, why don't we go to Old Lady Yin's house and have a look, seeing what she said." Chen Juan sat up and pulled Su Jiaojiao up as well, "Let's go now."
"Old Mrs. Yin is not at home." When Su Jiaojiao came, she passed by Old Mrs. Yin's door, and her door was indeed locked.
"I'll go check it out." Chen Juan didn't believe it, so she put on her down jacket and ran out. After a while, she came back and whispered to Su Jiaojiao, "Grandma Yin is back. Come with me to have a calculation. Don't let my dad and the others know."
"I'm impressed by you." Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to go out with her.
When we arrived at Old Lady Yin’s door, it was ajar.
Sure enough, Old Lady Yin had returned. The two realized they had forgotten to buy cigarettes, so they went to the canteen to buy them.
Su Jiaojiao bought two kilograms of snacks and five kilograms of eggs. She felt that she should buy more gifts to visit Old Lady Yin. After all, Old Lady Yin was the only person in the world who knew about her past.
"Why did you buy so much?" Chen Juan was very surprised.
When you ask Old Lady Yin to see you, the usual practice is to give her two packs of cigarettes.
Either a pound of snacks or a pound of eggs.
"Oh, I took people to see her last time, but I didn't bring anything." Su Jiaojiao lied seriously, "I have to make up for it."
"That needs to be made up, otherwise it won't be accurate next time." Chen Juan didn't think much about it.
The red lantern at Old Lady Yin’s door was replaced with a new one, which swayed gently in the cold wind.
The yard is very clean and tidy.
The brooms for sweeping the floor were also tied with red ropes and stood neatly under the eaves.
There was steam coming out of the pot, and the firewood on the stove had not yet burned out.
The room was warm, and Old Lady Yin's niece-in-law took very good care of her. With such a God of Wealth, anyone would have to serve him well.
When they entered the house, Old Lady Yin was sitting by the window, resting with her eyes closed. The two of them tiptoed in, placed cigarettes and snacks and eggs on the kang, and Su Jiaojiao called out, "Grandma Yin."
"Xiao Jiao is here." Old Lady Yin opened her eyes, looked at Chen Juan, and recognized her. "Xiao Juan is here too."
"Grandma, I came to see you about something." Chen Juan took off her shoes, got on the kang, and sat cross-legged in front of her. Before she could say anything, Old Lady Yin shook her head and said, "No, your marriage cannot change this year, nor next year."
Then he pushed the cigarette in front of her and said, "Take the cigarette back and come back in two years!"
Chen Juan: “…”
No way!
"Xiao Jiao, what do you want to count?" Old Lady Yin asked Su Jiaojiao again. Su Jiaojiao waved her hands quickly and said, "Grandma, I came here with my cousin. I came to see you by the way."
"Okay, I'll take your things." Old Lady Yin nodded, carefully examined Su Jiaojiao's face, counted on her fingers, cleared her throat and said, "Xiao Jiao, your marriage destiny has changed."
"What?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't believe her ears. "Grandma, I'm still in school. Why would I mess with my relationship?"
She swore that she definitely didn't have that kind of intention towards anyone.
Old Lady Yin must have miscalculated.
Chen Juan was also confused.
Yes, if there is a marriage between the two of them, it should be her, how could it be Su Jiaojiao?
"The marriage I'm talking about is your true destiny." Old Lady Yin looked at Su Jiaojiao meaningfully, "It means your destined one has appeared. It doesn't mean you have to marry him right away. Just study hard and take good care of your mother. Everything will take care of itself."
Then he said to Chen Juan, "The people who appear this year and next year are not your true love."
