Chapter 258 Can make you live
Yu Tingwan looked back from the boy selection.
Obviously, this is more exciting.
Stall owner: ???
Can he tolerate this?
He didn't care about the stall anymore, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to let the Taoist priest take the blame.
But he took just one step.
The Taoist priest flipped through the gossip coins: "You have a shallow family relationship, and you were not raised by your biological parents."
The stall owner paused.
Taoist priest: "You have a calamity in your life, at the age of thirty-two." Taoist priest
: "How old are you now?"
The stall owner's voice trembled.
"Three... thirty-four."
"That is two years ago, you were on the verge of life and death."
The Taoist priest said calmly: "You survived by chance, but people around you died."
The stall owner's legs were weak at this moment.
He was adopted by his uncle.
He used to do manual labor in the mine west of Ze County, not far from Wuyang City.
Mining is dangerous, and people are often buried in it.
The miner who was with him was talking to him not long ago, and he was gone in the blink of an eye. He was so scared that he stopped working there.
Later, he started a small food business.
I heard... I heard that something happened there a while ago.
There were more than one or two people buried. The Ze County Clinic was too busy to handle it. The mine has been sealed until now, and no one is allowed to go out.
But...
despair flashed in the stall owner's eyes.
He now believes in the Taoist priest, but he dare not believe the Taoist priest.
"Really?"
The stall owner walked over with a serious face.
"That child...that child is not mine, whose else can it be?"
"You are just a blind cat that happened to catch a dead mouse and happened to predict a few things!"
"My wife and I have always loved each other. She has never had any quarrels in the many years since she married me. She has been childless for five years after marriage. Although I am anxious for children, I have never said a harsh word."
"In the sixth year, she finally got pregnant, and I was so happy to hold her in my hands!"
"I have no grudges against you, how can you make up..."
Before he finished speaking,
the Taoist priest interrupted.
"Five years, don't you understand?"
The stall owner: "What?"
Yu Tingwan's eyelids jumped.
As expected.
"You can't have children."
Taoist priest: "I don't even want to hurt you."
"Why do you have to make me explain it clearly?"
Taoist priest: "But you deserve it."
Stall owner: ...
He was struck by a bolt from the blue. He
walked forward quickly, and the anger in his eyes could not be eliminated.
"Do you want to know who the lover is?"
With these eight simple words, the stall owner's hand, which was raised in the air, stopped abruptly.
He couldn't accept it, but...
but... at that time, every time the wife went to the doctor to take her pulse, the doctor said that she was in good health.
He had heard people mention that having children was not necessarily a woman's problem, so he secretly kept it from his wife. The doctor did say that it was difficult for him to have children.
But he was also a man who had to save face! It would be
so embarrassing for a man to go out without having children.
He was the head of the family, and he had to work hard outside to make money, and he couldn't stand the gossip outside! The wife didn't have to show up in public, and it didn't matter if she was troubled by her aunt or accused by outsiders of being a hen that didn't lay eggs.
He was so good to her in private, which was also compensation.
After much struggle, the stall owner hid the truth and became a kind and righteous man in everyone's eyes.
Fortunately, he got a wife in the sixth year.
He cried with joy, thinking that God had opened his eyes!
But what the Taoist said was a slap in the face, as if mocking how ridiculous he had been all these years.
He staggered dejectedly and tried to squeeze out a sentence: "Who?"
The Taoist said: "Two taels for fortune-telling."
The stall owner gritted his teeth and took out the money.
"Who is that person!"
After seeing the money, the Taoist smiled.
"The money you gave me, pay what I said before."
"As for what you want to know, that's another price."
Yu Tingwan: ...
The stall owner doesn't have enough money.
The meat pie stall on the street some distance away was set up by his neighbor, and he was going to borrow some.
The stall owner's eyes were red.
"Wait, I'll go join you."
"If you can't say anything, or lie to me, I'll take you to the government office!"
But the Taoist thought he wouldn't come again.
After a trip and a breeze, people will sober up.
How could a person who cares so much about face make a big deal out of it? Announce to everyone that he is not a normal man.
Pretend not to know, he can still have a son who takes his surname for free.
The Taoist shook his head, not seeing the breakup of the relationship between the stall owner and his wife.
Seeing the man stumble away, Yu Tingwan sighed, a little convinced that the Taoist priest had some skills.
The girl couldn't help asking.
"Who was the lady who had a bloody disaster just now?"
The Taoist stretched out his hand.
It was a gesture of asking for money.
Yu Tingwan:...
Forget it, I don't want to listen.
At this moment, Wei Zhao threw out two taels.
Yu Tingwan:?
You are generous!
Forget it.
It's... generous for her.
Taoist priest: "I have seen her husband before."
"That man has a dark life palace, cloudy eyes, low eyebrows and eyes, and is greedy by nature. His nose bridge is damaged and has bad moles, and his facial features are prone to gambling. His forehead is dark and dull, and he will lose every time he gambles."
"He owes a lot of debts."
Yu Tingwan understood.
The gambling house asked for the debts to be paid, and if he couldn't pay them, he would have to go to the hospital.
The government office couldn't do anything about it.
After all, it was written in black and white when borrowing money that if he couldn't pay the debt, he would pay with his life.
Taoist priest: "In fact, she was beaten to pieces a few days later. She happened to meet those people coming to collect the debts when she went back, and after a lot of arguing, she was paid early."
I understand, she could have avoided it today. After all,
the old lady was also implicated, and the Taoist priest wanted to help.
But good words can't persuade a damned ghost.
What's more, the old lady was aggressive to him.
Three taels of silver is a lot, but it is more valuable than half a life.
He is not a monk, so he has to be compassionate.
The Taoist priest didn't feel guilty at all and accepted the money with peace of mind. Previously, the free fortune-telling for the two was not just a casual offer, so Wei Zhao and Yu Tingwan were asked to write their horoscopes.
At this time, the Zhu family had calculated the horoscopes of the children who wanted to be boys, and the monks from the Niangniang Temple looked at them and selected those who were compatible with Master Zhu.
There were fifteen people in total.
Master Zhu stood up. He
personally selected according to his eye. He
first selected a child who looked energetic.
He hesitated for a moment and chose the seriously ill child held by his mother.
The woman cried with joy,
"Thank you, Master Zhu!"
"You are a great benefactor, a great benefactor to us mother and son!"
"The child is seriously ill, and my husband's family thinks he is a burden and wants to throw him away on the mountain. But I carried him for nine months and gave birth to him. I raised him mouthful by mouthful. He is my sweetheart!"
"My husband divorced me because I insisted on doing it myself. My sister-in-law scolded me for being stupid and didn't tolerate me. I really have no other options."
"If the child is not well, I will admit it. If he is well, I will make him kowtow to you and pray for the eldest son every day!"
Master Zhu hurried forward: "Get up, get up, why are you kneeling when you are fine? I also feel sorry for this child."
In this way, he gained another wave of good reputation.
Yu Tingwan ignored the other side and wrote without hesitation, much faster than Wei Zhao.
The Taoist took it in his hand and looked at it.
He raised his eyebrows.
He counted with his fingers.
After he got Wei Zhao's horoscope, he sat up a little straighter.
Then he put Yu Tingwan's horoscope behind.
Yu Tingwan: ...
Why.
Is she hot?
Does Wei Zhao's handwriting look so good that you treat him differently?
Maybe the resentment in Yu Tingwan's eyes is too deep for the Taoist to ignore.
The Taoist looked at Yu Tingwan, then at Wei Zhao who was standing aside in a leisurely manner.
Got it?
"Don't panic, girl."
"The stall owner is not in good health."
"But your man is different."
He said responsibly: "He can make you have children."
