A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

This chapter does not advance the plot, so you can skip it.

Only pure charlatans, vagrants who move from place to place after each shot and will not stay in one place, will use force to start the game. As soon as they open their mouths, they will start with words like "black forehead, blood disaster, encountering gods and ghosts, bad luck for the whole family, and disaster for descendants". They will not stop until their words are shocking, which will scare people so much that they will feel uneasy and tremble with fear, and they will not be able to eat or sleep well when they go back... They must come to him the next day to ask for a solution.

He was doing a one-time deal, and would run away after getting the money.

The few bluffing words that Wu said at the beginning were also called hooks. Once you meet him, he could hook your heart and soul with just a few words. As long as you believed them, he would make money.

The reason why fortune tellers seldom use force at the beginning is that the hook at the beginning must be steady, accurate, ruthless, fast and crisp. They just see a stranger, look him up and down, and make a quick judgment based on the other person's dress, appearance, body posture, accessories, expression, whether he is sad or happy... and other details, and then use terrifying language to hit the other person's psychological pain point.

To put it in a more vivid way, the hook is like a psychological firecracker. When you take it out, you have to set it off in the other party's heart. If you set it off at the wrong point, the bad guy will be annoyed and he will be scolded or beaten at best. That's called a disaster.

Another reason is that, in most cases, the local fortune tellers are guarding their homes and their territory. If they use force at the beginning and fail to hit the point, it will be easy for people to come to their door and smash their stalls a few times, and they will basically not be able to survive in the local area.

What Li Haimei wanted Zhang Lan to do was to persuade the old lady to spend less money. It was best to delay a big expense like moving the grave for a few years, for example, moving the grave in the next few years would be bad for the family.

The old lady is almost 90 years old, and she won't be able to live long. When she passes away, Li Haimei, as a daughter, can completely suppress the honest and simple Li Haigen in matters such as whether to move the grave and whether to spend money.

Zhang Lan had seen this kind of situation before, but that time it was not about persuading an old man not to make trouble. That time it was about the parents being dissatisfied with their daughter's boyfriend and preparing to break them up.

But she couldn't express her opposition openly, so she planned to ask Zhang Lan to tell the fortune teller that it was not good for her daughter and her boyfriend to be together, as it would not be good for either of them.

When the other party found Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan waved his hands and said he couldn't do it when he heard about this stupid thing. Zhang Lan directly kicked the other party out for doing such a thing that would ruin someone's marriage.

Later I heard that the two of them found another famous fortune teller in Canghe. When they were matching their marriage proposals, the other party took their daughter to the fortune teller. The fortune teller told their daughter that the man was unlucky for the woman and that once they got married, the woman would easily become sick or have an accident.

How should I put it? Sometimes you can't say there's anything wrong with taking money to do something, but there's no need to be so extreme. Fortune-tellers usually insist on destroying ten temples rather than breaking up a marriage. It's just a marriage, there are many ways to do it, there's no need to be so extreme.

Most people, when they go to a fortune teller to match their children's horoscopes for marriage, must be beaming with joy from the bottom of their hearts. The fortune teller will observe their words and expressions and will definitely give two explanations:
Those who are sensible will say that the horoscopes are compatible, they are made for each other, good luck and congratulations. Then the parents will be very happy and will give a big red envelope without saying a word to accept the good wishes.

The next best thing is something like "slightly incompatible, incompatible zodiac signs, and conflicting fate fire." But it doesn't matter, we have a "solution." I'll give you some taboos and precautions to ensure that the young couple will love each other happily after marriage, and that you will have grandchildren soon.

But because the parents didn't want to, they spent money to ask a fortune teller to say that something bad would happen to the child if they got married, in case the child was disobedient and got married.

Once a very normal twist occurs after marriage, such as a minor illness, a disaster, a difficulty or a setback, the parents will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and keep complaining, making the child upset and maybe even making the child believe it and start to be suspicious. The result will either be a breakdown in the relationship and the breakup of the couple, or depression and illness, and they will never be able to live a peaceful life.

Persuading others is a technical job, and Zhang Lan has never done it well.

The main reason is that Zhang Lan has always been impatient since he was young. He would not bother to deal with people if they disagreed with him. In the past, when he was incompetent, he would tolerate it. But now, when Zhang Lan is not satisfied with something, he rarely tolerates it. For example, now, after rejecting Li Haimei's proposal several times, Zhang Lan is too lazy to say anything. He will not go anyway. If you exchange money, you exchange money. That is, everyone can exchange money to pay a certain amount of money, and they don't have to bear any responsibility.

Isn't this much better than going to the old lady's house to persuade her? What if the persuasion is not correct and the old lady converts to Buddhism, but it turns out that her belief is not correct and she starts donating her property to others? Wouldn't that be even more ridiculous?

Zhang Lan refused and Li Haimei had no choice but to tell Zhang Lan's mother about the hardships she had suffered over the years.

The elders favored sons over daughters, and I suffered all kinds of hardships when I was young. After I got married, my husband was not ambitious and could not make money. After I had a child, the child was not ambitious in school and did not study well, so he dropped out early.

Later, getting married became a big problem. I was in my thirties and still hadn't found a partner. It was neither good nor bad.

She herself was also ill and had to go to the hospital every year. This old lady would ask her two daughters to take care of her whenever she had something to do.

Why doesn't she torment her son or her grandson? Li Haimei complained.

Zhang Lan, who was listening to this, almost shook his head and laughed.

Bitterness is the truest bitterness in life. If life has a hundred flavors, it is only bitterness, which runs through everything from birth to death.

No one wants to live in this world to suffer. Human nature prefers laziness and hates work. This is true for you, me, and everyone else.

But people live to suffer. Unless they are born differently, their fate is determined at birth. Life itself is a pool of bitter water, salty and bitter, bitter to the depths of the soul.

If you don't want to suffer the hardship of study or life, but people are slaves to desires, you will definitely suffer the pain of desires, appetite, sexual desire, love desire, vanity desire, ideal desire...

The West has refined these people's desires into seven deadly sins: pride, gluttony, greed, envy, hatred, lust, and laziness. One of the seven must be eaten.

Humans are emotional animals, and they will definitely suffer from emotions. They are so close yet so far away, they cannot get the love they want, they are destined to be together but not to be together. You were born before I was born, and I was born when you were old. We hold hands and look at each other with tears in our eyes, unable to speak. We resent meeting and hate parting, and we suffer the pain of love and hate...

Even if one day reaches the level of the top rich, one still has to endure the pain of birth, aging, sickness and death, pain, aging, struggle, death, unwillingness, despair, and the inability to live long...

Buddha said that there are billions of sufferings in the world, and all living beings suffer without exception. There is always a suffering that suits you.

Life originates from the sea. Bitterness is the basic flavor and original taste of all life. Life is a pool of bitter water, not a hive filled with honey. Even though bees are so close to honey, they still have to suffer and work hard all day long. (End of this chapter)
