I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 318: The persistence of this era
Jiang Li opened his eyes, looked up at the person standing in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Come on, at your age, you don't look like someone who can come to such a leisurely place."

Hearing Jiang Li's tone, Dai Qing couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Master Jiang, you are wrong. I have always had a seat on the overpass in my hometown. If you like to travel, you might as well visit my hometown. Maybe we can meet by chance."

Although it was just a coincidence that I went to the overpass, I gained a lot from it.

When it comes to fortune-telling, she doesn’t discriminate between rich and poor. As long as someone has a request, she will answer it patiently and treat everyone equally. That’s what makes her a qualified fortune-teller.

My grandfather once said that all living beings are born unequal, but as a fortune teller, one needs to treat all living beings equally so that one can have a broad mind.

She used to disagree with this statement, until she went to the overpass and came into contact with the demands of the grassroots, and then she really felt something.

Now, she can carry a small stool and sit in a corner of the park or under a bridge with ease.

As long as you keep a calm mind, there will be no deviation in fortune-telling, whether it is for high-ranking officials or ordinary people.

Jiang Li looked at her indifferent expression, especially the fleeting look in her eyes, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

When this thought came to his mind, Jiang Li found it funny. How could they be so familiar with each other when they had only met twice?
However, this girl is able to remain calm at such a young age and not be bothered by worldly matters. This alone will enable her to grow into a qualified fortune teller.

Just as the two were chatting, an old lady and a young woman appeared in front of them.

"Master, please help my daughter-in-law to see if this baby is a boy or a girl?"

As she spoke, the old lady pulled her daughter-in-law beside her, pushed her forward, and looked at Jiang Li with anticipation on her face.

Dai Qing raised her head and looked at the pregnant woman who looked reluctant. Her phobia was rosy but there was a hint of blue under her eyes. There was no doubt that she was pregnant with a girl.

The right eye is called Fengchi.

I just got pregnant, and the pregnancy is too young. During this period, the hospital does not hide the gender of the baby during prenatal check-ups, but it will not be revealed until the B-ultrasound is done three months later.

This lady seems a little impatient.

"Auntie, our country has a policy that it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, if they are born into your family, it proves that they have a family relationship with you."

"That's true, but my son must have a grandson. He can't let the family line end with her. Otherwise, I won't be able to face my ancestors in the underworld."

Hearing this, Dai Qing and Jiang Li looked at each other.

Well, this old lady came here for her grandson.

But some people have strong hearts but weak fates. What do they want? But they just can't get it. We can only say that fate plays tricks on us.

Jiang Li looked at the pregnant woman in front of him and stroked his beard. "This sister-in-law is already pregnant with a child. All fetuses are born by God's will. I don't care about the gender of the baby."

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became anxious.

"How can you not watch it? Is it that you can't watch it, or is there something you can't tell me?"

After asking this question, the old lady's expression paused, and suddenly she realized something, and slapped her thigh with a grim look on her face.

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant with a girl, right? Oh my God, doesn't that mean my son will be exterminated?"

Seeing her expression of despair, Dai Qing raised her eyebrows and looked cold. "Auntie is also a woman, why do you look down on women like this?"

She really didn't understand what the person who had such thoughts was thinking.

Especially those mothers-in-law, even if they have grandchildren, what can they do? They don’t have the same surname as them, so they feel like the sky is falling.

"I don't look down on women, but I just want grandchildren. If I can't even give birth to a penis, what's the point of marrying a wife?"

"Why should women embarrass other women? My sister-in-law was also young once, so we should understand each other."

Jiang Li shook his head and gave a gentle advice.

The gender of the baby is determined from the moment the conception occurs. No matter how angry you are, a girl cannot become a boy.

"Yes, granddaughters are caring." Dai Qing echoed.

"What do you know, little girl? Only grandsons can continue the family line. If she can't give birth to a son, she will be the sinner of our Liu family. My mother-in-law treated me the same way. Fortunately, I was blessed. Not only did she give birth to a boy, but she also gave birth to four sons in a row."

Speaking of this, the old lady puffed out her chest proudly, her eyes filled with pride.

Dai Qing looked at her and twitched her lips. Looking at the woman next to her with an ugly face and her haggard look, she knew without asking that she was often bullied by her mother-in-law.

They are from an ordinary family and have no throne to inherit, so why are they so persistent?
Inherit poverty?
"Auntie is so great, your sons must be very successful, right?"

"Of course. My sons are all tall and strong. My eldest son is even an advanced worker in the factory."

Dai Qing pulled the corner of her mouth, and before he could speak, the pregnant woman next to her finally couldn't help but speak up in resistance.

"Mom, Liu Wei and I only want one child, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, she'll be our treasure. Besides, our house is so tight that we won't even have a place to live if we have a grandson. If it's a girl, when she grows up and gets married, she won't take up any room."

"What do you mean? If I give birth to a son, will I still live in your house?"

"My eldest brother's children should have been married a long time ago, but they still haven't found a house. The whole family is squeezed into a house of more than ten square meters. They bump into each other's shoulders when they turn around. My eldest brother and his wife have been so worried about the house that their hair has turned white. Don't you see?"

"Your elder brother has already applied for a house from the factory. It will be approved sooner or later. Why are you worrying about it?"

The old lady stared at her daughter-in-law with an unpleasant expression. Perhaps she did not expect that she would openly contradict him in public, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"It's better to worry about your own belly than to bother about others... My youngest son's bloodline cannot be cut off from you. No matter what, I must know whether the baby is a boy or a girl."

"Mom, I don't like what you said. The doctor said that it is the man who decides whether the baby is a boy or a girl. You can't blame me for this."

"Listen to what you are saying. The child is in your belly, and the way he grows up must be your fault."

Hearing this, Dai Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"Auntie, what you said is really wrong. Science has already studied that whether a baby is a boy or a girl is really determined by men and has nothing to do with women."

"Go away, go away, what do you know as a little girl? Stop making trouble here."

As she spoke, the old lady also pushed Dai Qing.

Of course, with her strength, it was like tickling Dai Qing and had no effect at all.
