Chapter 10 I bet she was making up a story
"But even if you give everything for them, it's useless. When the elders pass away and the children grow up, society will be more open-minded and no longer hate homosexuality so much. Then they will show their true colors and kick you out. Your parents and elders will scold you for not being able to tie a man down, and your children will also abandon you and think you are useless. In the end, you will be left with nothing and die alone of cancer."
"No, this is impossible. I don't believe it." A Ting shook her head desperately, refusing to believe it was true: "A Yuan would never do this to me."
All the neighbors looked at each other in bewilderment.
Aunt Zhen spoke first: "Ah Xian, are you telling us a story?"
Everyone looked at Lin Zhixian with disbelief.
This was not the first time they had seen a fortune teller, but no one had ever been as detailed as Lin Zhixian, it did not seem like fortune telling but more like storytelling.
Even A Ting looked at Lin Zhixian eagerly, hoping that Lin Zhixian would say that all this was fake.
But Lin Zhixian didn't agree with their wishes: "I am fortune-telling, not telling stories."
She looked at A Ting: "If you want to know whether what I said is true, just find out whether Fang Yuan is gay or not."
A Ting looked at Lin Zhixian, her eyes gradually turning red.
She murmured, "I never told you that his name is Fang Yuan."
But Lin Zhixian accurately said Fang Yuan's name.
"Is what Ah Xian said true?" Uncle De asked incredulously.
"Ah Xian just said that, why don't we check and see if Fang Yuan is gay?" Sanxiangu defended her daughter.
Everyone agreed.
Although they all said that Lin Zhixian was a fortune teller in front of reporters before, they all knew how capable Lin Zhixian was as they had watched her grow up.
The Fruit King must have been lucky that time.
This time, they guessed that it was Lin Zhixian who made up the story.
However, Fang Yuan has a name and surname, so it would be easy to find out whether he is gay or not.
Then we will know whether what Lin Zhixian said is true or not.
Aunt Zhen saw that Ah Ting was crying and advised her, "Ah Ting, if what Ah Xian said is true, now that you have seen his true face, you will not be tricked into marrying him, and you will not end up in a fire bed and suffer for the rest of your life."
Aunt Zhen's other meaning was that if Lin Zhixian was wrong, and after this investigation, Fang Yuan did not have any major problems, then he would be a good candidate and should be cherished.
"Yes." Ami Po also said, "It's better to know Fang Yuan's true face now than to find out decades later. You are lucky to have met Ah Xian."
The neighbors all agree with this.
After everyone's persuasion, A-Ting finally wiped away her tears: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If Fang Yuan is really gay, I will definitely expose his true face and break up with him. I will never give him the chance to hurt me again."
"Okay, that's how it should be." Everyone cheered.
A Ting stood up and tried to leave, but the Three Fairies stopped her and said, "You haven't paid me yet."
"Oh, OK." A-Ting knew that fortune-telling requires money, because if the master leaked the secret, he would have to bear the consequences, so they, the fortune-tellers, had to pay. However, she felt her pocket and found that she didn't have enough money, so she said to the Three Fairies, "I'm sorry, Three Fairies, I don't have that much money on me. Can I give it to you after I go back?"
They were all neighbors, and A Ting was a good child, so San Xiangu naturally would not make things difficult for her and agreed to her request.
Lin Zhixian told A Ting: "Nowadays, society is very discriminatory towards homosexuals, so those homosexuals dare not let others know that they are homosexual. Once they find out that someone knows their secret, they will subconsciously want to do some dangerous things to keep the secret. So you must not go to confront Fang Yuan alone, in case he harms you."
"Okay." Ah Ting thought of the cruel things Zhong Haoming had done to Ah Mei, and shuddered. She quickly said to Lin Zhixian, "Don't worry, I will never meet him alone again."
"Well, in the end, you should ask your boss to investigate thoroughly before confronting him, and you must choose a public place to ensure your own safety." Lin Zhixian suggested.
"I understand. Thank you, A'xian." A'ting nodded to Lin Zhixian and left.
The neighbors walked out and talked about it.
"Do you think what Ah Xian said is true? Is Fang Yuan really a homosexual and wants to trick Ah Ting into marriage?"
"Although Ah Xian's prediction about the Fruit King was accurate, you all know what Ah Xian's level is. Anyway, I don't believe it. I think it's probably a story she made up to fool people."
"Then let's make a bet."
"Okay, I bet she's making it up."
"I bet she made up a story, too."
Aunt Zhen said, "That's enough for you. Ah Xian is already 20 years old. Maybe he has really come to his senses."
"Do you dare to bet on her to win?" the neighbor joked.
"I, I don't dare." Aunt Zhen finally gave in.
"I bet what Ah Xian said is true." Ami Po suddenly spoke.
"Wow, Amipo, you are so sharp. You actually dare to bet that what Axian said is true?!"
Amipo scolded: "That's where you are wrong. As the saying goes, if you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. You look at Ah Xian with old eyes, maybe Ah Xian has become a new Ah Xian? Anyway, I think what she said this time should be true."
"Okay! Let's all bet that Ah Xian is making up the story, and you bet that what she said is true. Then we'll wait and see who wins and who loses. The loser has to treat us to a meal." Uncle De said with a smile.
"Okay." Ami Po said, "I want to have a big meal then."
In Sanxiangu's shop, after everyone left, Sanxiangu pulled Lin Zhixian to the back.
"What's wrong with you? If you don't know how to read palms, just say it directly, or just say a few words to fool people. Why do you have to make up a story to deceive people? Don't you know that it will be easily exposed? What will you do then? You say you are a fortune teller here, and then you immediately become a liar the next moment? Do you have any brains?"
The three fairies were so angry that they scolded Lin Zhixian.
Lin Zhixian said helplessly: "I didn't make up the story. Everything I said was true. The man that A-Ting is dating now is a homosexual. He just wants to get her married. A-Ting and the others will know if it's true if they check it out."
"You know her boyfriend? You know he's gay?" San Xiangu was sure, and then she said angrily: "At least you have some brains and know that stories must be based on true events. If not, it would be terrible for you."
Lin Zhixian opened his mouth to say that what he said was true, but when he saw Sanxiangu's expression, he knew she wouldn't believe him, so he simply kept silent.
"Nothing, I'm going home." Lin Zhixian said.
"Wait!" San Xiangu called her, then took a book about palmistry from the bookshelf and gave it to her: "Go back and memorize the book quickly. Next time you read someone's palm and make up a story, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Lin Zhixian wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.
"OK."
Regardless of whether or not you will choose this path in the future, it is better to learn more about palmistry first, so that you will not have insufficient knowledge in your brain next time.
For the next two days, Lin Zhixian was called to the store by Sanxiangu to help every day. Sanxiangu also taught her how to handle various things. When no one was around, she asked her to learn palm reading. Until one day, Zhao Meiqi came to the door, and Sanxiangu was so scared that her face changed color again.
Nothing will happen again, right?
