I was a fortune teller in 90

When she woke up, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. Dai Qing had just washed her face when she saw Jiang Li carrying a small stool and getting ready to go out.

"Grandpa Jiang, are you still planning to open the stall?"

"Well, I didn't make it this morning, so I'll go sit for a while in the afternoon. Do you want to join us?"

"Let's go together."

Anyway, I've already talked to the neighborhood committee, so I'll just go with everyone's wishes and sit in the park to completely confirm my identity as a fortune teller and avoid any more suspicion.

After autumn came, except for the heat at noon, it was cool in the morning and evening. It was very comfortable for the two of them to sit under the pine tree and enjoy the breeze.

After a while, people came here because of its reputation.

"I've finally waited for you guys. I heard that you're pretty good at fortune-telling and physiognomy, so I want to see it for myself."

As they were talking, a man in his forties sat down opposite them with a worried look on his face.

Dai Qing looked at him and sighed. He had the face of a middle-aged man who was looking up at the sky and was ruined by his farm life.

Well and stove refer to the nostrils.

People with upturned nostrils will have bad luck in middle age. Their family property will be destroyed, their wealth will be exhausted, and they will be penniless, and they may even have no place to live.

Jiang Li looked at her and motioned for her to speak.

"Looking at the uncle's face, he grew up in a very wealthy family, and he has some assets, all left by his ancestors."

Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the uncle's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"Young Master is right. Our ancestors did live a good life, and I have benefited a lot from it."

"But as he got older, his wealth did not increase, but became less and less. By the time he entered middle age, all the things he had were gone. Now, I guess all he has left is the house he lives in."

He has the appearance of a middle-aged, dilapidated man, and it is not in his destiny. No matter how hard he tries, he is destined to fail.

After listening to Dai Qing's judgment, the uncle nodded gloomily and sighed deeply.

"What the young master said is right. It was fine that we didn't dare to be flamboyant during the planned economy era. But since the reform and opening up, everyone has been rushing to do business. I also followed the trend and started a business with others, but unfortunately I didn't have a good vision and lost everything."

"I was young and hot-headed at the time, and I didn't accept it. I felt that I had suffered a loss due to my lack of experience. I thought that even if I didn't make any money, I could still gain some experience, so I tried again. In the end, I lost everything I had, and my family was very angry with me for this. Now, apart from the old house I live in, I am really penniless."

The middle-aged man said this with a self-deprecating laugh.

"I'm just 40 years old, which is the right age to strive for success, but I'm destined to be a failure. I can't accomplish anything."

Looking at the graying hair on the uncle's temples and his dim financial situation, Dai Qing felt helpless.

Some people are born with bad luck in terms of wealth, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

"Uncle, you are not suitable for business. It is better for you to find a job."

If this continues, I guess we won’t be able to keep our ancestral home.

Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the uncle did not refute. He silently took out five dollars from his pocket and put it in the box, then got up and left.

Jiang Li looked at his back and shook his head.

"Three generations of ancestors' support is already the limit... Don't force it if it's not destined for you."

Listening to Jiang Li's sigh, Dai Qing nodded in agreement. The uncle's face showed that his ancestors for three generations were all wealthy, and it was only in his generation that they fell into decline, which was considered good.

A moment later, another woman in her thirties came in and asked, "Master, please take a look at me. When will my husband's illness be cured?" Looking at the woman's face, Dai Qing looked at Jiang Li. The old man squinted his eyes, looking very calm and composed, and didn't even look at her.

Dai Qing twitched her lips and cleared her throat.

"Your husband is weak and needs to be taken care of. He will have to go to the hospital a lot in the future... Auntie has worked hard all her life. Fortunately, she is in good health, but she will be lonely in her later years."

If a woman has turned-back ears, it also means that she will punish her husband.

The two ears of the auntie are asymmetrical and turned back, which is not good for her husband. If the wife's palace is prosperous, the husband's palace will be weak. In addition, the auntie also has three of the "nine ugly" traits: high cheekbones, unkempt hair, and a thick beard (a woman with thick beard around her mouth).

The so-called "Nine Ugly" traits are: high cheekbones, protruding Adam's apple, unkempt hair, snake-like rat eyes, thick and heavy eyebrows, hooked lines on the nose, sheep-like white eyes, bear-like voice, and black spots on the beard.

Women with this kind of facial features are generally destined to be lonely.

Listening to Dai Qing's explanation, the aunt was stunned and her eyes turned red.

"Master, do you mean that my spouse will die young?"

Dai Qing: "..."

Do you want to be so straightforward?
Seeing Dai Qing pursing her lips and not saying anything, the sister-in-law smiled awkwardly, took out two dollars from her pocket and put them in the box.

"My husband's health has not been good since we got married. I have worked very hard over the years and even worked as a helper for others. All the money I earned went to the hospital. Fortunately, my husband is a good person and treats me well. So, I have been willing to give all these years."

If her husband's poor health was caused by her, then she didn't owe him anything.

Since she got married, she has hardly had a single day off, just wanting to earn more money to pay for his medical treatment.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Since two people are married, there is no right or wrong. Besides, your relationship is still good, and you will live a comfortable life in your later years."

Because of this, although the aunt will be lonely in her later years, her life will not be too difficult.

"Thank you!" The aunt looked at Dai Qing gratefully, turned and left.

Jiang Li opened his eyes and found Dai Qing staring at the person's back as he left. He couldn't help but remind her,
"Some marriages are destined by nature, and no one can change them."

"I know, that's why I can't help but sigh. The aunt is a bit of a husband-unlucky person, but it's not her fault. Don't you think it's the magnetic fields that attract each other?" Dai Qing asked casually, stroking her chin.

Jiang Li looked at her and said nothing.

There are always all kinds of disappointments in this world, and there are only more in places that we cannot see.

After the two of them expressed their feelings, they fell into deep thought and the atmosphere became a little silent.

"Master, please help me see if I can enjoy my old age in peace?"

Looking at the old man sitting in front of her, Dai Qing noticed that there were many spots on his face, and her heart sank.

People with black and blue spots on their faces look weak and do not have the appearance of longevity.

"You look fine, but there are spots on your face, which means your health is deteriorating. I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup."

After hearing Dai Qing's suggestion, the old man's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Why would I go to the hospital when I'm fine?"

"Don't be angry, brother. Have you been feeling low on energy lately?"

Listening to Jiang Li's question, the old man pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I am indeed easily tired recently, but it is normal for people to be easily tired as they get older, right?"

"Being easily tired is a warning from your body. It would be safer for you to go to the hospital." Jiang Li reminded softly while coiling the wooden beads. (End of this chapter)
