I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 506 I'm used to being alone
In those days, the inspection was very strict and if you were not careful, you could get yourself into trouble.

Therefore, every time when the family ran out of money, my grandfather would take risks and go back to his old business.

Strangely enough, the food for him and his son was earned from those people who came to him for fortune-telling.

Listening to Dai Qing's tone, Jiang Li was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Brother, your choice is right. It is really not easy to stand out in that situation. I think it will be hard for him to take you with him. It is wise to choose to remain anonymous."

They all came from turbulent times, so naturally they understand everything.

As Jiang Li spoke, he took out a jade token from his pocket. It was a round piece of white jade with bamboo leaves engraved on it. There were small characters on both sides: "Jiang" and "Dai".

"This is Brother Jiang's personal jade token. He changed his surname to Jiang so that he could better lead the Jiang clan. His main purpose was to win over the people. But your master didn't want him to forget his original surname, so he carved this jade token for him."

"When my senior brother gets married, he only needs to choose a child to follow the Jiang surname. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, everything has changed."

Dai Qing took it and looked it over from top to bottom and from left to right. It was indeed a piece of high-quality white jade.

But there is still a gap between it and the one her grandfather left her.

The two sat opposite each other, chatting about the same person, connecting the events before and after together. Dai Qing also came to understand her grandfather's life.

It can only be said that fate has its way with people.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was a chaotic period. The pursuit of profit was enough to destroy a person. Even now, it is still difficult to guard against profit.

It's because my grandfather is too outstanding that he is plotted against.

No wonder she didn't become a fortune teller in her previous life. Her grandfather didn't force her at all. He just told her to study hard and it would be better if she didn't rely on this for a living.

Now that she thought about it, her grandfather had always been protecting her, had known about her talent for a long time, and had prepared work for her. He should have known that the path of a fortune teller was not easy.

But some things are destined to be unavoidable. After going around in circles, she finally came back.

Jiang Li looked at Dai Qing with loving eyes. No wonder he felt more and more friendly towards this girl. It must have been destined between them long ago.

"I didn't expect you to be my senior brother's granddaughter. No wonder you are so talented. According to seniority, you should call me Second Master."

When he met Dai Qing, he was amazed at the number of talented people. Now he is very glad that this extremely talented girl is the granddaughter of his senior brother and the hope for the future of their Jiang School.

"Although things have changed, fortunately, my brother still has descendants. I am very pleased that you can inherit my brother's legacy. The Jiang School has young people like you, and the future is promising."

Hearing Jiang Li's sigh, Dai Qing was stunned and looked at him blankly.

She had no intention of returning to the Jiang faction.

Jiang Li was so excited that he was immersed in his own joy and didn't notice Dai Qing's expression at all.
"I will go back in a few days to tell everyone the good news, and then find a time for you to return to your roots."

After hearing this, Dai Qing sat up straight and waved her hands quickly.

"Grandpa Jiang, I'm surprised that my grandfather is your senior brother, but I'm also very happy. But I'm not ready to return to my ancestral home. Over the years, my grandfather and I have been dependent on each other, and I've long been accustomed to it. After my grandfather passed away, I also lived alone, and I felt uncomfortable with more people around."

In short, she is a person who fears trouble and doesn't want to attract a group of relatives to herself.

Hearing Dai Qing's refusal and watching her undisguised resistance, Jiang Li was completely stunned. "You are here alone, without any relatives or friends. If you return to the Jiang Sect, everyone can take care of you, and if something happens, you can help each other. Isn't that good?"

He understands that young people today want to be independent, but wouldn't it be better to have someone to help them?

"I have been living this way for years and it feels good. I don't want to change it anymore."

Dai Qing looked at him and chuckled.
"Don't be afraid of Grandpa Jiang laughing at you. If you get used to living alone, you may develop some quirks. Friends usually just say hello to each other, but relatives are different. If there are suddenly more relatives around me, I will feel very uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Jiang Li just laughed and waved his hands.

"So that's what you're worried about. Don't worry. Your uncles and fellow apprentices are easy to get along with. You don't have to worry about anything. If you don't believe me, you can go back with me and take a look. If you like it, how about staying?"

He is not an unenlightened parent. He will definitely not interfere whether his child leaves or stays.

But this child is my senior brother’s descendant, so I have to bring him back to burn incense in front of his father to comfort his soul in heaven.

In response to this, Dai Qing smiled awkwardly and did not agree.

She was living well by herself, and suddenly a group of relatives came. It would be fine if they were easy to get along with, but if they met a few difficult ones who used family ties to hold her hostage, wouldn't that be making things difficult for her?
Therefore, in the face of all the unknowns, she would not rashly bring herself into trouble.

Jiang Li looked at her resisting expression and felt a little surprised. This girl was usually quite easy-going, so why did she become so unfamiliar after having this relative?
Thinking about his own request, he didn't feel it was excessive?

"Do you have concerns?"

He is old, so it is normal that he does not understand the minds of young people. But if you have any concerns, you can raise them. As long as they are reasonable, he will definitely not refuse.

"Well, since Grandpa Jiang asked, I won't hide it from you. I'm used to being alone and don't like to cause too much trouble. You can say I'm selfish, but this is my truest thought."

Looking at Jiang Li's surprised look, Dai Qing smiled awkwardly.

"Once a person has formed a habit, it is almost impossible to change it. It is better to keep a distance than to have a conflict with someone later."

"Of course, I won't deny the affection between you and my grandfather, and I'm happy for you. But after all, it's been a long time, and two generations have passed. The uncles and brothers of the Jiang School are all strangers to my grandfather and me. How can we talk about affection when we haven't seen each other for decades?"

As the old saying goes, the first generation is close, the second generation is representative, and the third and fourth generations are nothing more.

She is already the third generation, where is the family affection?

Hearing this, Jiang Li held the teacup and looked at Dai Qing quietly for a moment, then nodded after a while.

"What you said makes some sense. I was too happy and didn't think too much about it."

As expected of his senior brother’s granddaughter, she is more rational than him.

Over the years, as he traveled outside, there were indeed some disapproving voices within the sect, but due to his seniority, no one dared to speak to his face.

If I take Qing back without saying hello, it will indeed cause trouble.

Alas, times have changed after all, and he has to keep up with the times.

"Forget it, let's put this matter off for now. Where is your grandfather's grave? Take me there tomorrow. I want to burn some incense and paper money for my senior brother."
