Chapter 24: A fortune-telling student (Part 2)

 

Lin Qingyin: “… …”

I don’t want to talk to you people, I want to go home!

Li Yanyu looked at Lin Qingyin. Seeing her like a wilted plant, he couldn’t help but smile and said to his old mother: “Alright, let’s go back and discuss our own affairs. Lin Qingyin still has to go back to review her lessons. There are still several exams tomorrow she needs to take.”

“What’s the point of telling you this issue? Can you tell fortune or the likes!” The old lady slapped Li Yanyu’s hand off her and added: “I told you that I had been waiting in line for more than half a month before it became my turn. If I miss this opportunity, I will have to wait for 2 more months. Do you know how difficult it is to make appointments to the Little Master?”

Lin Qingyin took a deep breath. It seems that this fortune-telling can’t be avoided today. Anyway, it was already like this, so she just needs to finish it quickly and go back home early!

Lin Qingyin turned around and sat back to the stone bench, then gestured to Li Yanchen and Jiang Meiling, “Then let’s go at it, don’t waste more time.”

The couple looked at each other and sat down opposite Lin Qingyin. It’s not that they believed in Lin Qingyin, they knew that if they didn’t do this thing, no one would be able to go home. So they simply decide to satisfy the old lady.

Lin Qingyin calmly observed the faces of the two under the light in the pavilion. She knew the problem of their marriage was caused by Jiang Meiling.

While stroking the tortoiseshell in her hand, Lin Qingyin said with a determined tone: “From the look in your face, you have an older brother and a younger brother, who both died in their childhood. They should be less than 6 years old when they died. ”

Jiang Meiling, who was originally absent-minded, stood up abruptly when she heard this and said with a trembling voice: “How did you know?”

Aunt Li patted Jiang Meiling’s hand and said with a pleasant tone: “The Little Master’s divination is accurate. Just believe her.”

Li Yanchen and Li Yanyu brothers looked at each other in shock.

They only knew that Jiang Meiling had an older sister, they never heard that she has brothers. In fact, Jiang Meiling’s memory of her elder brother and younger brother was very shallow, she could vaguely remember them. Only when her sister’s son died did their mother brought out this old story. It was because of this that Jiang Meiling decided to divorce Li Yanchen.

“I went for a genetic test a while ago. Our family has a rare genetic disease. This disease is transmitted to men and women. The girls only carry these genes, while the boys get sick and died. They die before reaching adulthood.” Jiang Meiling looked at Li Yanchen with a complicated expression and continued: “Actually, you are right. Our family is indeed sick.”

Li Yanchen immediately panicked and hurriedly coaxed Jiang Meiling: “I said it out of whim, it’s not intentional. I didn’t say it because I dislike you. I never want to divorce you.”

Jiang Meiling shook her head, but her tone was full of sadness: “I hate myself. I don’t want to pass these genes to my children. We should divorce.”

She was not only disgusted with herself but was also afraid. She was afraid of not having healthy children. She was afraid of repeating her mother’s mistakes. She has already experienced the pain of losing a child once. She doesn’t want to experience it the second time.

Although Lin Qingyin can’t understand this thing called love, she can read their fate in their face: “You husband and wife are in love. Although there are some twists and turns in the relationship, it will not reach the point of divorce.”

 

Jiang Meiling felt distressed: “Master since you have figured out the reason for my divorce, why bother to persuade me?”

Lin Qingyin pointed her finger to the old lady, who was the instigator and said honestly: “Because your mother-in-law paid for it!”

Aunt Li faced everyone and held up her chest proudly: “1000 yuan, I’ll pay for it!”

Lin Qingyin didn’t bother to take a look at the Li Family’s face, she dropped another bomb in front of them: “What will happen to the child in your stomach if you divorce?” The four people turned their heads at the same time over Jiang Meiling’s belly: “You have two daughters in your belly at this time. It should be more than a month!”

This time not only Jiang Meiling but also Li Yanchen stood up abruptly and looked at Jiang Meiling’s belly in disbelief.

Jiang Meiling subconsciously touched her very flat lower abdomen. When did her last menstruation arrive?

 

After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she hadn’t had menstruation for almost two months. The death of her nephew plus the hereditary disease of their family made her physically and mentally stress, so she didn’t notice it at all.

“Pregnant? A daughter?” Aunt Li, who was used to seeing the little master’s fortune-telling skills was the first one to recover. Then, she slapped Li Yanyu, who was in a daze: “What are you still doing? Go and get the pregnancy test!”

Li Yanyu, an unmarried young man immediately flushed with shame, but watching his brother looking dumbly his sister-in-law and had no intention of moving his legs, Li Yanyu had no choice but to run to the park gate.

What is going on!

The pavilion was not far from the north gate of the park. Li Yanyu, a man with long legs, ran back with a plastic bag in ten minutes. It contained 7 or 8 kinds of pregnancy test sticks. It seemed that he didn’t know which one to buy, so he bought all of them.

The old lady snatched the plastic bag and took Jiang Meiling to the bathroom next to the Pavillion. 5 minutes later, Aunt Li happily helped Jiang Meiling out: “I told you the Little Master’s divination is accurate, you just don’t listen!”

Li Yanchen cautiously supported Jiang Meiling, and asked with some expectation and some anxiety: “Are you really pregnant?”

Jiang Meiling nodded with a complicated expression: “There are two bars. It’s pretty clear.”

Seeing that there seems to be no conflict between the couple, Lin Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief: “Okay, the problem is solved, I should go home.”

“Little Master, please stay!”

This time, without waiting for the old lady to open her mouth, Li Yanchen stopped Lin Qingyin: “Master, is my wife really pregnant with a daughter?”

“Yes, twin daughters.” Lin Qingyin said, “I don’t know if the hospital can find it out at this time, but you can try to ask.”

 

Seeing the determined looked in Lin Qingyin’s face, Li Yanchen and his wife were felt at ease. She even figured out the pregnancy, so the gender identity must not be wrong.

  1. Yes, the teachers are definitely going to ban the tortoise shell from class from now on or skip multiple choice all together. Wonder if the teacher is willing to give private tutoring for her English in light of her selective amnesia in the English language. :P.

    I’m happy the couple are expecting twins but the question remain if the twins will be able to grow up without medical complications. I feel bad for the wife. The fear of loosing a child and passing on the bad genes to your future generations can cast a dark shadow in your subconsciousness. Thanks for the update!

  2. I get that she told them the gender because of the genetic disease, but at the same time she refused to tell that other woman the gender. It just makes me wonder what exactly are the limitations of finding out the gender.

    1. Imagine our MC only telling them that they are going to have twins. They will be anxious the whole time, after all, nowadays finding baby’s gender is illegal. They would be worried that their children would be boys and then die at a young age. But MC clarified that the twins are girls. Now the parents don’t have to worry that their children will die.

    2. Not entirely sure about that but If I had to guess, I’d say it was due to circumstances. The earlier case seemed to be more in bad light like that Aunty most likely being preferential to male descendants. In this case, she seems to have only mentioned it to ease/clear the woes of the couple that clearly loves each other. That and she might have panicked as was earlier. That and less people around this time, no unnecessary crowds that most likely will spread rumors or so.

      Well, that’s just my guess anyways. Who knows what’s really up.
