Chapter 65: The Old Lady Whose Family Was Destroyed
Sanxiangu and Lin Zhixian were both shocked by this sudden incident.
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Lin Zhixian quickly hung up the phone and came out to help the man: "Get up quickly."
The Third Fairy also came out: "Yes, mother-in-law, if you have something to say, please talk nicely. Don't kneel down."
The old woman couldn't get up, and hugged Lin Zhixian's legs and begged: "Master, I beg you, please help me, otherwise I really can't live anymore."
This commotion alarmed the shops next door, and Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao, two of the onlookers, quickly gathered to watch.
"Oh, mother-in-law, if you have anything to say, get up first."
After everyone's persuasion and support, the old woman finally got up and sat down, talking about her miserable life.
It turned out that the old woman was sixty years old this year, had no children and her husband was gone, and she lived alone in the world.
"I used to have a family. I had a spouse, a filial son, a capable daughter-in-law, and smart grandchildren. Everything is destroyed!"
"I ruined everything." The old woman slapped her knees and cried loudly, "I shouldn't have done that! I shouldn't have been so greedy for pleasure. My daughter-in-law clearly told me to take good care of my grandson, but I went out to play mahjong with someone else and didn't keep an eye on my grandson. He was kidnapped!"
"My daughter-in-law hates me, my son resents me, and my husband ignores me!"
"I deserve it!"
"But God, if you want to punish someone, punish me. Why punish my family?"
"My son and daughter-in-law traveled all over the country looking for their child, but in the end they both died in a car accident."
"My husband also collapsed upon hearing the news of our son and daughter-in-law's death and did not survive that winter."
"Just leave me alone!"
"Why did you keep me here? All of this happened because of me. I am the one who deserves to die the most."
"Why wasn't I the one who died?"
The old woman burst into tears.
The onlookers were all sighing.
Have sympathy for her, it's all her own fault.
Scold her, she is indeed pitiful.
"My condolences." San Xiangu had been fortune-telling for many years and had seen many tragic things, but she was still able to control herself. She poured a glass of water for the old woman: "Have a drink of water."
The old woman wiped away her tears, took the cup and took a sip, then looked at Lin Zhixian: "Master, please help me. I have money, I can pay for the divination, please help me find my grandson. My son, my daughter-in-law, my partner, they all wanted to find him when they died, and the meaning of my life is to find him, please help me."
The old woman took out a cloth bag from her bosom, poured out a handful of money from it, and put it in front of Lin Zhixian: "Master, here are 500 yuan, please help me."
Lin Zhixian looked at the thin and dirty old woman in front of him, and at the handful of money in her hand. None of the bills were whole, all were loose change. One could imagine how much effort and time the old woman had to spend to save up this sum of money.
This was probably her living expenses for the next period of time, but in order to find her grandson, she took out all the money without hesitation.
It's nothing more than the obsession in your heart.
Lin Zhixian didn't know how such an old woman knew her, or whether there was anyone plotting behind her. She only knew that since the old woman came in front of her today, she couldn't just reject her without even trying.
She is just a young, inexperienced girl. She is a little smart, but she has not learned to be indifferent.
"I don't know if I can help you, but I can try." Lin Zhixian said to the old woman: "If I can't help you, I won't take the 500 yuan from you."
"Thank you so much, you are so beautiful and kind." The old woman was delighted and said, "If you can find my grandson, I will serve you for the rest of my life."
“You don’t have to be so polite.” Lin Zhixian waved his hand: “And I can’t guarantee that I can find someone for you.”
But the old woman didn't care. She was determined that Lin Zhixian would be able to help her find her grandson. She stood up and kept bowing to Lin Zhixian to thank him, which made Lin Zhixian feel stressed.
Seeing this, San Xiangu stopped the old woman and said, "Okay, grandma, Ah Xian has agreed to help you try, but you have to be prepared. Your grandson has been kidnapped for several years, and Ah Xian may not be able to help you find him back."
"Yeah, yeah, how can it be that easy to find someone?"
Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao both watched Lin Zhixian grow up, and they know that this is no small matter. If Lin Zhixian can't find them, although they are disappointed, they will not deny Lin Zhixian's ability. But who knows what outsiders think?
Therefore, this vaccination must be given. The old lady should not be given too much hope. If Lin Zhixian cannot find anyone later and becomes disappointed and makes a fuss, it will ruin Lin Zhixian's reputation.
Lin Zhixian is a child who grew up in their eyes, and they all hope that Lin Zhixian can become a fortune teller, so that they can all be proud of him.
The old woman said nothing, but just stared at Lin Zhixian.
Lin Zhixian felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
"Okay, let's get ready to calculate."
It is a blessing or a curse, and Lin Zhixian has to face it.
If she can't figure it out, she might be accused of being a liar. Her previously accumulated reputation won't be ruined all at once, but it will definitely be affected.
But if she really figured it out, it could help others but also damage her own reputation further.
"Okay, okay." The old woman sat down nervously: "Do you want my grandson's birth date? I have already brought my grandson's birth date."
She trembled and took out a piece of red paper from her bag, on which was written her grandson's birth date.
Lin Zhixian shook his head: "No need, my specialty is fortune-telling."
"You don't need the date of birth?" The old woman looked a little doubtful: "Can I really find my grandson?"
Aunt Zhen said, "Ah Xian's best skill is palm reading. If she can't tell the truth from palm reading, then she basically can't tell the truth either."
"Then please read my palm." The old woman quickly stretched out her hand to Lin Zhixian. When she saw it, she found that her hand was a little dirty. She took it back and wiped it on her clothes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
She was uneasy.
"Don't worry." Lin Zhixian smiled at her, "Let me start with your face."
"Okay, okay." said the old woman hurriedly.
Lin Zhixian began to observe her face carefully, verifying her experiences one by one, as well as some things that the old woman did not mention that she had noticed, and recorded them one by one, then her bone structure, and finally her palms.
She held out her hand: "Please give me your right hand."
"Okay, okay," the old woman wiped her hands on her clothes and then handed them to Lin Zhixian.
Lin Zhixian held her hands with both hands and concentrated on using the golden finger.
The old woman was very obsessed with her grandson, and Lin Zhixian suddenly saw the day when her grandson was abducted.
