Chapter 110 The Fortune Teller of the "Jubilee Year" 5
Indeed, quite a few people came to Liu Yuxi for fortune-telling afterward. How to put it? It just shows the full spectrum of human nature.
Some people find their children and discover they are disabled, yet they still love them dearly. Others, however, cannot accept having a disabled child; it's as if their child has just escaped one danger only to fall into another, suffering harm from their closest loved ones.
Some of the only things found were corpses. Putting aside emotions, this is perhaps the best possible outcome: the child doesn't have to suffer, the parents can give up and live peacefully, and the younger ones can have another child. It's both laughable and tragic, but that's reality!
Others are daughters who went missing, and when they were found, the children had suffered greatly, some even having already given birth. Not to mention now, even in future generations, people who are mindful of their words will remain few and far between.
Those with a moral compass might think: I'm just gossiping, stating facts, and feeling sorry for her, but I deliberately ignore the fact that every time you bring it up, it hurts the person involved.
There are also some people with distorted values who always stand on a moral high ground and spout nonsense. Some extreme ones even say things like, "If it were me, what would be the point of living?" or "Why doesn't she just die?"
But what's the point of you living? Do you think everything you do can be brought to light? Are you really that righteous and perfect? Nobody is a saint; everyone has a side that others don't know about, especially those girls who were victims.
If you can't do great good, then do less evil! This is also a kind of spiritual practice in life!
In the "millennium" era, even if some families who love their children move away with them, the psychological damage to the children can never be healed, and their lives are unlikely to be smooth.
Liu Yuxi usually gets upset after getting a divination like this. You can never truly understand the injustices of this world unless you're directly involved. She's traveled through so many worlds and seen so much, but she still feels indignant when she encounters them again!
Fortunately, many people come to her for marriage fortune telling. Seeing that the couples she personally predicted have finally become a couple, some even invite her to their wedding banquets. Although she herself is against marriage, she says: "When it comes to love, it's sweeter to watch others fall in love!"
Of course, when you calculate too much, you'll inevitably encounter some incompatibilities. If it's not a matter of principle, Liu Yuxi will only say that the two of them are incompatible and that they probably won't be able to get along well after marriage, and that they should go back and reconsider.
But if she encounters someone with malicious intentions, she will expose them to their face. Liu Yuxi is not afraid of retaliation; that's how domineering she is! Hahaha!
Once, a mother brought her daughter to have her marriage fortune told. Of course, those who come to Liu Yuxi's stall to have their marriage fortune told are either from families with good financial conditions or who value their children. Otherwise, who would spend a third of a month's salary to have their fortune told?
The girl was quite obedient and quiet. She sat next to her mother without saying a word, her face flushed with shyness and a slight smile on her lips.
Her mother told Liu Yuxi that her daughter didn't have a wide social circle, and her boyfriend was introduced by a neighbor in the community. That neighbor was her daughter's boyfriend's aunt, and she thought her daughter had a good personality, so she introduced her nephew to him.
The young man is very handsome, though a bit thin. He has a good job and is very respectful to the girl. They have been dating for three months now, and the man's side is urging them to get engaged. She is thinking of doing some calculations and, if the two are a good match, they can set a date.
Looking at the innocent and romantic girl's face, Liu Yuxi felt fortunate that her mother had brought her to have her fortune told; otherwise, she might never see such a gentle smile on that girl's face again for the rest of her life.
Of course, the girl's appearance was changing. After asking about the girl and boy's birth dates and examining the girl's palm, he said to them, "This marriage cannot be arranged or carried out." He waved his hand, telling them to be quiet.
"Listen to me," he said to the girl, "Isn't he very respectful of you, and does he have a great sense of boundaries, unlike the men you've heard of or seen who are so eager for sex? Doesn't he make you feel very at ease?" The girl nodded.
"He has a gentle temperament, is polite in his dealings with people, and says nice things. He often buys you small gifts and always manages to surprise you."
Although she was shy about having her relationship details discussed, the girl still nodded, unable to hide her happiness.
"Ignoring his gender, don't you think he's more like your best friend?" The girl was puzzled, but her mother was stunned.
Startled, she stood up from the stool and whispered to Liu Yuxi, "You mean, he's Er Yizi?" Upon hearing the words "Er Yizi," the girl's face was filled with disbelief. "Impossible!" she instinctively retorted.
"So, don't make a fuss. Go back and meet normally. After your date, he'll take you home, right?" The girl was stunned, still not quite understanding. Her mother, however, was much calmer due to her age. "Yes, he always takes her home."
"When he leaves your house, follow him without letting him see you. Take several people with you, and he'll find out!"
Her mother thanked Liu Yuxi and handed him 100 yuan, but Liu Yuxi refused to accept it this time. He told her, "Go and verify it first. If the result is as I said, come back and pay the difference!" Her mother didn't object. If it was really as Liu Yuxi said, she would definitely come back to thank him profusely.
Three days later, the mother came back with her husband, but this time she didn't bring the little girl. I guess the little girl was quite upset.
First, she paid the divination fee, and then gave a large red envelope to express her gratitude, because without Liu Yuxi, her daughter's life would have been ruined.
After they went home that day, the boy came to pick up the girl for dinner and a movie. While they were out, he called all his brothers and sisters-in-law to his house. When the boy took the girl home that night, the family members would secretly follow him.
What followed was quite a spectacle. Walking to a residential area not far from their home, they saw a man waiting at the entrance. As the boy approached, perhaps because it was late, the two embraced without any restraint.
The boy was still whining, "I'm so tired, it's so annoying! When will this end?" Well, there's no need for any further developments, isn't it obvious?
The family quickly rushed forward and surrounded the couple. What followed was naturally a wrangling between the two families. The groom's family was notorious in the area.
The couple were very grateful to Liu Yuxi. For a woman, marriage is like a second chance at life. If they hadn't discovered this, their daughter would probably have been a widow for the rest of her life.
As usual, the two of them donated their red envelopes and then left. I just hope that the lovely and quiet girl won't encounter the wrong person again next time.
May all the good girls in this world have a smooth, peaceful, and joyful life!
