"Ah Yuan, are you really good at divination?" Xiao Biyun grabbed her son's hand and asked excitedly.
Lu Yuan patted her hand and said, "Mom, I know a little, but this is not allowed now. You can't talk about it outside. Even if you do, I won't admit it, and no one will believe it."
Even if others don't believe it, they find it hard to believe.
"How did you learn that? Who taught you?" Gao Shengyao asked.
"I didn't learn it from anyone, I was born with it."
"How is this possible? You're not just trying to fool everyone, are you?" Gao Zhihai's eldest son, Gao Siyan, questioned.
Lu Yuan would never admit that he was just fooling everyone.
"Do I really need to go that far?"
"Then how can you prove you can?"
"How do you think I should prove it?"
"Calculate it for me."
Lu Yuan smiled enigmatically, "Would the old master have ever easily told fortunes for people before?"
Those who knew the answer shook their heads, saying, "No."
"Yes, neither can the old man nor can I. I really can't do fortune telling, but I can see the future development trend of the country and avoid some dangerous factors."
He wasn't afraid of these people accusing him of feudal superstition, because he was certain that these people believed in these things even more than he did. The elders and slightly older people present had all witnessed the old man's abilities and naturally believed in him. The younger generation had been influenced by him since birth and also believed in him without a doubt.
"Really? Can you tell me what the next trend will be?"
Lu Yuan briefly mentioned several major events that had occurred in the last decade, such as the moon landing in 1970, the passing of a certain general in 1971, and the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977.
Everyone was stunned. Seeing his confident assertion, they wanted to disbelieve him, but dared not, and were very apprehensive.
“But these are things that will happen two or three years, or even eight or nine years from now, and we don’t know for sure whether what you’re saying is right or wrong right now,” Gao Siyan said.
Lu Yuan shrugged. “I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. What I can tell you is that we’d better keep a low profile for the next ten years, or our whole family will be ruined. Ten years from now, the country will open up. You can develop what you want, and you can do individual business. The national economy will also start to develop rapidly, and you can spend your money as you please without any restrictions.”
"real?"
Everyone was excited. This meant that even if they had to hide their treasure for the next few years, they could openly spend it later.
At that moment, they were all willing to believe that what he said was true. Most of the people present were still young, and they could afford to wait another ten years.
However, Gao Shengyao, his two brothers, and their wives were not as happy as the others. After all, they were getting on in years. The youngest was almost 60, and Gao Shengyao was 70. They might not even be around in another ten years.
Lu Yuan added, "It's not like we can only enjoy this in ten or twenty years. Although we can't openly spend money to buy supplies now, we can still do it secretly. My uncles and aunts should eat and drink as they please, and if they pay more attention to exercising, living another twenty or thirty years won't be a problem."
The elderly people were overjoyed, thinking that Lu Yuan had told their fortunes in a roundabout way, and they nodded in agreement.
But then he was troubled again, because secretly buying supplies meant going to the black market.
"The black market is not safe; you could lose half your life if you're not careful."
Lu Yuan smiled, glanced at his wife, and seeing her nod, said...
"Don't worry about that. As long as you acknowledge me as the head of the family, you'll listen to whatever I say from now on. I can get you all the supplies you need daily, including rice, flour, cooking oil, fruits, vegetables, meat, non-staple foods, and household goods. As long as you pay, you can have as much of these things as you want. I even have health supplements for prolonging life."
He and his wife had no shortage of supplies, but they were worried that the supplies in their space were increasing but not being used up. Now they could help use up some of them, which would not only make them money and make the transactions safe, but also make them trust them and listen to them obediently. It was a win-win situation.
As for the health supplements, he wasn't just making things up. He could add some spiritual spring water, knead a dough ball, and feed it to them to improve their health. It's true that Gao Weishan really knows how to make health supplements.
Lu Yuan continued, "Moreover, I think money is not a problem for you. No matter how the things left by the old man are divided, each family will have enough to eat and drink for the rest of their lives."
Indeed, if they could get some of the property, they would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. As long as he could get supplies, they wouldn't be afraid of not having money to buy them.
Everyone was extremely excited, as if they had drunk a shot of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and some of them even turned red in the face, their eyes filled with hope.
"Grandnephew, are you telling the truth, or are you just saying this to make us happy?" Gao Shengyao asked eagerly.
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Of course, I, Lu Yuan, am a man of my word. If you don't believe me, we'll go to the place where the treasure is kept tomorrow. Today, I'll get you a truckload of supplies to share."
The group quickly exchanged glances and agreed with the suggestion.
“Alright, grand-nephew, as long as you can get us a truckload of supplies, we will follow your lead from now on. Whatever you say, we will do without hesitation,” Gao Shengyao said.
The others chimed in, "Yes, from now on, whatever you say goes. We'll listen to you without question."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Lu Yuan replied, "Okay, it's a deal."
Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun were a little worried. A truckload of supplies was quite a lot, and it would take a whole day. Even they didn't have the ability to do that, especially since it was Lu Yuan's first time in the provincial capital. Where would he get a truckload of supplies?
"Ah Yuan, it's not easy to get a truckload of supplies, there's nothing I can do."
