90s Little Struggle

Chapter 17

"Grandma, I'm the one who wants to tell the fortune." Xiao Hong sat on the stone bench opposite her, only to realize that her eyes were closed.

In this way, she doesn't know whether he is really blind or fake blind.

Mrs. Jiang asked kindly: "Then tell me your birth date."

Coincidentally, after the change of household registration today, Wu Julan also told them about the time when they were born.

What's more, Mrs. Jiang can also speak Mandarin, so I don't have to worry about not being able to communicate with her.

"[-]:[-] p.m. on the second day of February."

"Long look up!" Mrs. Jiang pinched her fingers, and her expression became more and more dignified: "Come here, feel the bones for me."

Xiao Hong looked at her hands subconsciously. Although they were a little wrinkled, they looked clean.

She went over and squatted very cooperatively, stretching out her hand when she asked, touching her head when she asked, and saying whatever she asked.

After a long time, Mrs. Jiang said: "The day when the dragon raises its head is at the beginning of mid-spring and the beginning of the month, and the five elements of Mao belong to wood. It is said that it is a good day to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and to welcome auspicious luck."

Speaking of this, her tone changed: "But when you were born, your luck was not very good, your relatives are relatively weak, and your children's relationship is shallow."

"In terms of wealth, the fortune will be prosperous when the year is approaching, which is the life of a tiger and a half-truth..."

After Xiao Hong heard it, she looked at her with admiration. What she said was like Xiao Hong's life in her dream book.

But it's not right, my own mother and Xiao Fang are still very good to me, and it can't be said that the relationship is weak.

But Mrs. Jiang, the more she talked, the more confident she became, and she couldn't help but open her eyes and look at her.

She thinks she is somewhat capable, but why can't she be killed?

Fortunately, she didn't meet many people like this, otherwise she was afraid that her signboard would be smashed.

Although she was a little guilty in her heart, she said some good things in her mouth, and finally persuaded her: "You are still young, don't tell your fortune too much in the future."

Of course, this is not to save her money, but to worry that if she goes to fortune-telling again, the people's calculations will be different from hers, and her colleagues will ruin her position.

Xiao Hong said very brazenly: "I also feel that my life is very good, I am blessed, and I can prosper my family. Are you right?"

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect her to say that, she gasped in her heart, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, she didn't figure out that her life was good, and vaguely felt that her fate was ill-fated.

Seeing her silence, Xiao Hong smiled again: "Grandma Jiang, I hope that when the mother of Zhao Youqiang from Zha Village comes to tell you a fortune, you can say that. You will definitely help me, right?"

The corners of Mrs. Jiang's mouth twitched, feeling very emotional in her heart, she never expected that this young and delicate girl would be so shameless and dare to threaten her like this.

She sighed: "You are obviously asking for something, don't you know how to say nice things?"

"It's because I'm young and ignorant, grandma, don't care about me like me." Xiao Hong followed the good example: "My life is hard, my parents divorced, and my stepmother wanted to sell me, so I had no choice but to rely on my remarried mother."

"But Grandma Zhao has some opinions on me. My mother knows that you have great powers, so I can only ask Grandma Jiang for help."

After she finished speaking, she approached Mrs. Jiang and said in a low voice: "My mother also asked me to tell you that she is pregnant. It is known to heaven and earth. You know that the three of us know it. When Grandma Zhao comes to tell the fortune, you can tell me by the way." It can bring good fortune to the Zhao family."

There are only these small villages on Zha Mountain, and Qianshan Village is very close to Zha Village.

Therefore, Mrs. Jiang, who has lived here for decades, also knows that Zhao Youqiang was married for the first time, but married a wife for the second time. Not only did she bring a daughter with her, but she only gave birth to a daughter afterwards.

This is in the countryside, that is to be scolded and terminated from the account.

However, their husband and wife are very honest, and it may be to support the work of their sister-in-law's female director. After giving birth to their daughter, they really went to Shanghuan.

Now Mrs. Jiang heard Xiao Hong say that her mother was pregnant, and suspected that she was joking with herself: "Don't coax me, your mother is in the ring."

At the beginning because of this matter, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhao family made a fuss, and even she heard it from others.

If she hadn't been sure that she had no grievances with her, Mrs. Jiang would have suspected that she was here to find fault.

"But Shanghuan can't guarantee that she won't be pregnant." Xiao Hong took the opportunity to take out 30 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand: "Actually, my mother was also very surprised, but she went to the hospital for an examination when she picked me up." , if it wasn't for sure that she was pregnant, she wouldn't dare to let me tell you like this, would she?"

"You think, if she can't give birth, wouldn't Grandma Zhao be even more angry?"

"This is the benefit of being delivered to your door. It will make you more famous and get a windfall. Why do you hesitate?"

When Mrs. Jiang heard her words, she suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, it must be that Zhao Laosi's wife knew that she was pregnant, and wanted to take the opportunity to let herself say that Xiao Hong was lucky, and wanted to put her on Xiao Hong's head for such a good thing.

Then Mrs. Zhao will definitely not drive Xiao Hong out.

Otherwise, who would like to have an extra person in the family who eats and drinks for nothing?
The main reason is that she's not blind either. Looking at Xiao Hong's delicate skin and tender flesh, she doesn't seem capable of working.

It's a pity that her own mother loves her daughter dearly and knows what her mother-in-law cares about.

After she figured it out, she finally put the money away: "No wonder I dreamed of a squirrel jumping into my arms last night. It really is a windfall. Then my wife is greedy for money."

"As long as she comes, I will make your wish come true."

Xiao Hong looked at the money she received in her pocket reluctantly, and almost wanted to ask her if she would accept her disciples.

She was very distressed, and wondered if she was too generous, giving too much?
But thinking that I originally wanted to give fifty yuan, now I still leave twenty yuan anyway?

Can't think about it anymore, just think of spending money to eliminate disasters, right?

She stood up and bid farewell: "Then please trouble Grandma Jiang, let's go first."

Besides, Xiao Fang doesn't believe in fortune-telling, so after she came in, she was greeted by Mrs. Jiang's daughter-in-law to drink tea in the house, and she didn't know what her sister said to Mrs. Jiang.

Hearing her sister beckoning her to leave, she got up and said goodbye.

On the way back, seeing her silent, Xiao Fang thought it was because she was concerned about money, so she asked curiously, "How much did you give her?"

"30 yuan." Xiao Hong thinks about it now: "I hope Grandma Zhao can be more helpful and don't let my money go to waste."

"Yes, the money can be earned again, as long as Grandma Zhao can calm down." Xiao Fang felt distressed when she heard this: With so much money, she can buy 25 catties of meat.

Xiao Hong sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that she gave me so much money, but she didn't say that my life is good."

Xiao Fang comforted her: "It is said that my fate is up to me, and our fate can be controlled by ourselves. For fortune-telling or something, just listen to the excitement."

Anyway, she felt that the money was just for Granny Zhao not to find fault, and she didn't know what her sister said to others.

"When we get home, tell mom so she won't worry." After Xiao Fang finished speaking, she still told her: "Don't say you gave 30 yuan, just say you gave [-] yuan, or else we will give you five yuan at night." Mom is so distressed that she can't sleep."
