Chapter 3: Poor fortune teller (Part 2)

After throwing the last stone, a comfortable cool wind blew over, and the heat on Lin Qingyin’s body suddenly disappeared: “What should I call you?”

The Aunt immediately replied: “My surname is Chen, my full name is Chen Yanchun, and my daughter’s name is Li Mingming.”

Lin Qingyin nodded her head: “From the eight characters of your daughter, her biological parents are not married. Are you looking for her biological father or biological mother?”

Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, then sighed: “Looking for her mother.”

Lin Qingyin closed her eyes and recalled the face of Li Mingming. She said: “On her 30th birthday, she had a fate to meet her biological mother.”

Aunt Chen stood up fiercely, as her lips trembled in excitement: “Master, is what you said true? The day after tomorrow is my daughter’s 30th birthday!”

Master Wang remembered that the woman in the photo looked like a college student, so he asked in disbelief: “Your daughter will turn 30? She only looks like a college student!”

This sentence calmed Aunt Chen’s hostility to Master Wang, and she couldn’t help but grudgingly praised him: “Although your fortune-telling skills are not good, your mouth is a good talker. In the future, find a steady job. Don’t cheat people here.”

Master Wang touched his nose and tried to bring the topic back to Li Mingming: “Aunt Chen, I am not a good talker. Are you really looking for your daughter’s biological mother?”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately shrank like an inflatable ball: “My daughter didn’t know her life experience. 30 years ago, my little daughter that I gave birth, just like her brother, died when she turned 3 years old. At that time, I always cry in the dark, I still couldn’t accept it even half a year had passed. If I don’t have an old mother relying on me, I would have jumped in the river. But one day, when I got up in the morning, I suddenly heard a cry of a baby outside. At that time, I thought it was just an illusion. When I opened the door, I saw a baby in a swaddle and a note of her birth date.”

Aunt Chen stretched out her arm and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she continued: “My house was not far from the train station and the hospital, but we couldn’t find out who put the child in our door. We went to the police station to report the situation and then went through the adoption process. My husband and I lost our two children. Mingming was God’s compensation to us. We treated her like a treasure and took good care of her until she grows up.”

Thinking of her wonderful daughter, Aunt Chen unconsciously had a happy smile on her face: “My daughter always strives for success, so her college exam results are good. But because of us old couple, she stayed in this first-tier city. Fortunately, it didn’t take long and she met my son-in-law. They loved each other so much and gave birth to twins, a pair of dragon and phoenix not long ago.”

Master Wang remembered that Lin Qingyin had calculated the matter of the dragon and phoenix just now. He looked at Lin Qingyin differently. Did he meet a real master today? However, this expert is too young!

“Aunt, if you live harmoniously with your daughter, why are you looking for her biological mother?” The hawker standing on the side couldn’t help but ask and continue to say: “According to my years of experience watching television drama, no matter what their reason at the beginning, the moment they threw their children away, it means they give up the child. Generally, it’s not good to take the initiative to come to someone’s door, asking for money or whatever. This kind of parent doesn’t care about the child.”

Aunt Chen sighed, her expression was somewhat lonely.

Master Wang’s ability to observe finally came in handy after seeing this scene. He immediately moved two steps forward, and squatted beside Aunt Chen: “Aunt, do you have any hidden words?”

Aunt Chen bitterly smiled and touched her neck: “My physical examination result came out the day before yesterday, my body had a physical problem. I’m planning to go to the hospital after my daughter’s 30th birthday pass.” She sighed and looked a little bit lonely: “I don’t want my daughter to have no mother beside her, I’m sure she can’t bear such a blow.”

Master Wang and the hawker took a deep breath, glanced at each other, and dared not speak. They seemed to be afraid of stimulating Aunt Chen.

Lin Qingyin suddenly said: “Who told you that you will die of illness? Your face shows you will live a long life and without a disease!”

Aunt Chen failed to process the words she heard: “Master, what do you mean?”

“You do have a small problem this year, but it’s not that serious. There are still many blessings waiting for you behind.” Lin Qingyin stood up and pulled a paper shell in her bag, then simply said: “You are the first customer I encounter since I start my business, so I will give this second divinatory diagram to you, goodbye!”

Aunt Chen looked at Lin Qingyin’s departing back and grabbed Master Wang close to herself: “What did the Master just mean?”

Master Wang crouched and looked at Aunt Chen happily: “Master mean to say that your illness will not affect your life at all. So don’t worry about it.”

Aunt Chen grinned incredulously and said: “Is what Master saying is true?”

“It must be true!” Master Wang smiled for a long time, and then suddenly said: “Right, aunt, just now Master said that your daughter’s biological mother will come to your door. You have to prepare in advance.”

Aunt Chen patted Master Wang’s shoulder: “Don’t think that all people are bad, and don’t think that I am so incompetent. If she comes to make peace, I will welcome her; But if she wants to make money from my daughter, I will take a broom and chase her out!” Aunt Chen said and took out 300 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it to Master Wang’s hand: “I don’t know if the wound on your forehead is serious or not. This is to compensate for your medical expenses. Go to the hospital and get a tetanus injection. I wronged you just now.”

Master Wang happily took the money: “Thank you, aunt! When your daughter’s birthday is over, you can come and talk to us about the result!”

Aunt Chen gave him a bad looked and snorted: “Your quite a gossip! You can rest assured, that if these two things come out true, I will bring something to Master to thank her!”

Aunt Chen said then stood up carrying her bag. After taking two steps, she looked up at the sun in the sky and muttered to herself: “It was quite cool in the stool just now. Why did it suddenly become hot?”

Master Wang took this opportunity to sat in the position of Aunt Chen, then suddenly looked around him in doubt: “Why did it become cool all of a sudden?”
