Lin Wanyue's fortune-telling stall finally welcomed a customer.
Perhaps it was because of the strong 'celebrity effect' of Mr. Jiang and Jiang Yongqiang, as soon as they left, people immediately came up to Lin Wanyue and asked, "Little girl, are you really good at fortune telling?"
How could such a small girl possibly intimidate Master Jiang and Jiang Yongqiang, two old ruffians, one old and one young?
They must have some real skills!
They even dared to take Jiang Yongqiang as their adopted grandson, and Jiang Yongqiang, this usually domineering little tyrant, actually agreed to be someone's grandson.
While this was quite surprising, it naturally piqued people's interest in Lin Wanyue.
"Mmm~" Lin Wanyue remained seated on her small stool and nodded, saying, "Ten coins per session."
"Why is it so expensive? Didn't it only cost one penny a couple of days ago?" an older woman exclaimed.
One penny wasn't expensive, but the older women back then couldn't bear to spend that money. They felt it was better to add a slice of grilled meat, at least that would make the food taste better.
But unexpectedly, just two days later, when he finally decided to spend the money, Lin Wanyue raised the price.
Lin Wanyue shook her little index finger: "As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once."
"..." The aunt who had already missed the opportunity was heartbroken when someone else stepped past her, took out ten coins and handed them to Lin Wanyue: "Young lady, can you help me see when my son will be able to get married?"
Lin Wanyue carefully inquired about her son's birth date and time, then exclaimed, "Hmm?" and asked, "Hasn't your son's wife already been driven away by you?"
"Hey, little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? I just can't wait for my son to get married, how could I possibly drive his wife away? You little girl, you don't actually know how to tell fortunes, are you just trying to scam me out of my money? Then give me my money back!" The man's expression immediately changed.
Lin Wanyue shook her head: "That won't do. I've already told your fortune, so I have to charge you. These are the rules. If you don't believe me, you can call your son over to confront me."
Someone nearby whispered, "Didn't your son bring home a widow a couple of months ago, saying he wanted to marry her? You refused, so you forced her to leave. Don't you remember?"
"What?!" The man exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that my son's destined wife is that widow?"
"Hehe." Lin Wanyue smiled sweetly. "Ten coins~"
However, this person was still somewhat lost and confused. Those around him had already realized that Lin Wanyue was indeed capable, as she could even calculate this.
The widow was driven away months ago, and the Lin family hadn't even moved to this street yet. How could a little girl like Lin Wanyue know about it?
That must have been calculated!
Suddenly, all the people queuing around her lined up in front of Lin Wanyue.
There weren't many people on this street who were extremely wealthy. Taking out ten coins would sting them a little, but it wouldn't be something they couldn't afford.
...
Just before lunchtime, the roasted sweet potato skins in the shop were finally sold out.
By the time Liu Junlan and the others had finished packing, there was still a long line of people waiting for Lin Wanyue.
However, Lin Wanyue was worried that it would affect her meal, so she told them to come back and queue up tomorrow if they had something to do, as she needed to go home for dinner first.
Babies who don't eat properly will have a hard time growing tall!
Lin Wanyue hopes to grow tall like her father and grandmother, so that it will be easier for her to fight bad guys and ghosts!
When she got home, Lin Wanyue insisted on showing her mother a bag of money at the door.
"Mother, Mother, with the little money I earned today, I bought some delicious food for you, for my brother, for Grandma, and for Daddy." Lin Wanyue placed a large bag of copper coins in front of Xuefu.
She earned quite a lot of money today. Xuefu counted it for her, and it turned out to be a full three hundred and twenty copper coins.
Xuefu touched her little face: "My Wanwan is really amazing. She can earn so much money at such a young age. She's much more capable than your father."
"Does Wanwan want to spend this money herself, or should Mom save it for you?" Xuefu asked.
"Hmm..." Lin Wanyue's round eyes darted around; she really hadn't figured out what to do with the money.
As a child who never lacked food or drink, Lin Wanyue was never short of money. Even if she wanted to buy something, she could ask her parents and grandmother for it, and they would buy it for her.
But now that she's earned money, spending her own money will definitely feel better.
"Mom, can you save them all for Wanwan? Just give Wanwan twenty copper coins every day to buy her something delicious!" Lin Wanyue said.
"Little sister, little sister, how did you earn so much money? Can you take me with you? I want to earn money too! When I earn money, I'll definitely buy you delicious food." The three Lin brothers excitedly crowded around.
While Xuefu was calculating the money, they watched eagerly from the side, exclaiming "Wow!" in admiration.
Fortunately, all three of them have strong hearts; otherwise, it would be truly shameful if such young girls were already earning money while they were still forced to study by their teacher.
Lin Wanyue hadn't figured out how to tell her three older brothers that making money through fortune telling required talent.
Father Lin Weiming had already summoned all three of his sons over, saying, "Since I don't have anything to do today, I'll teach you a set of boxing techniques. Once you've mastered them, you can go help out at the shop."
"Didn't Father say that it would be fine as long as we went to Master Cui's place?" The three children pouted, feeling deceived.
Lin Weiming raised an eyebrow: "I don't remember saying that? You all want to be well-rounded kids, good in both academics and martial arts. How can you be so shameless if you can't even do one set of punches?"
