I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 528: You Can’t Force People

No matter how much selfishness there is between Yan Biao and Dong Zhen, cooperation is a fact.

Dai Qing did not hide anything and gave him a brief account of what happened in Kyoto so that he would have a general idea of ​​what was going on.

After hearing Dai Qing's explanation, Yan Biao understood. He said, how could someone be so close to him for no reason.

Every time they were having fun, he would mention Sister Dai intentionally or unintentionally, trying to find out some information.

That man was a man of both fame and fortune in the capital. Once, he was far behind him, but now he easily became his partner.

To be able to make this man like Sister Dai so much... He really didn't dare to think about it too much, otherwise he would be scared himself.

Fortunately, he knew a little about Sister Dai's character. Although she seemed easy to talk to and gentle, if she really touched her bottom line, the outcome would be predictable.

He admired Sister Dai's way of dealing with people and things, so he was able to get along with Dong Zhen with ease.

"Don't worry, Sister Dai. I know how to deal with Boss Dong. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Yan Biao laughed and pointed at the gift on the table.
"These things are all prepared by Secretary Yang. They are all good for beauty and skin care. I don't know much about them. You can eat them. If you think any of them are good, I will ask Secretary Yang to send them to you regularly."

"I can't eat that much by myself. These are enough."

Dai Qing looked at the gift boxes on the table. Two boxes of bird's nest and two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin were luxury goods. She felt a little embarrassed to receive such a heavy gift.

"What are you talking about, Sister Dai? I am where I am today because of Sister Dai. It's only right that I send some nutritional supplements over."

Yan Biao waved his hand nonchalantly, knowing that one should remember the person who dug the well when drinking water.

The two talked for a while and then Yan Biao left.

Dai Qing put the bird's nest away. As for the two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, she would have to send them to the Chinese medicine store and ask the doctor to help boil them into donkey-hide gelatin cakes before they could be eaten.

In a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month and it is time to prepare for the New Year.

Even if there is only one person, there must be a sense of ritual.

First, stuff the sausage, then make some bacon and duck. Hang them under the eaves and you can eat them after a month.

Anyway, this thing doesn't spoil easily. As long as it is well preserved, it can be eaten for a year.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month,

Dai Qing was washing kelp in the yard and preparing to stew a dish with broth when her pager rang. It was Jiang Li calling her back when she was free.

Ever since she learned about their relationship, Dai Qing felt a little resistant when she saw the old man's phone call.

After she cleaned the kelp, Dai Qing took off her apron, took out two dollars in change, and went directly to the newsstand outside to call the old man back.

The phone rang twice and then was picked up.
"Hello, I'm Dai Qing."

"Hey, Qing girl, the Second Master has discussed with the family and invited you to come to Qishan as a guest. By the way, you can meet your uncles and brothers?"

Holding the phone, Dai Qing was speechless for a moment.

"Qing girl... girl..."

"Grandpa Jiang, I have prepared the New Year's goods. I have no plans to go out during the New Year." To be honest, Dai Qing didn't want to go. It would be awkward for her to suddenly face a group of unfamiliar elders.

After these words came out, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Jiang Li immediately spoke again gently,
"Girl, during the Chinese New Year, it's a time to visit relatives and friends. Our place is crowded and lively, and the atmosphere is full of the New Year. Grandpa thinks that you can come here to play... It's a rare reunion during the Chinese New Year, so you can get to know some people while everyone is here."

Jiang Li's voice sounded on the other end of the line, with a kind tone. But there was some noise around, indicating that there was more than one person on the other end of the line.

Dai Qing was silent for a moment, then spoke softly,
"Grandpa Jiang, I'm not used to communicating with strangers, and I'm not mentally prepared for it. Grandpa's old friends are all strangers to me. I'm only familiar with you, Grandpa Jiang, and I treat them the same way. The New Year is a festive day, Grandpa Jiang should just reunite with his family, and I won't bother you."

Jiang Li was silent. Before calling, he also thought that the girl would refuse, but he felt that he should have the confidence to persuade her to agree.

I didn't expect this girl to still be so resistant.

For a moment, he was a little conflicted, wondering whether it was right or wrong to force her over.

"Girl, you really don't want to come here to celebrate the New Year?"

"I don't want to."

Dai Qing did not hesitate at all. It must be very tiring to face a group of strangers all day and have to keep a smile on her face.

"...Okay then, grandpa will come to see you when the weather gets warmer." After Jiang Li finished speaking, he put down the phone and sighed softly.

The people sitting next to each other looked at each other, their faces not looking very good.

"Uncle, didn't you say that girl was polite and outstanding? How come I didn't hear that? You called her in person, and she still dared to refuse?"

"Don't be anxious, Third Junior Brother. If you don't want to come, forget it. It's the same if we go over to take a look after a while. That girl lives alone and has no one to discipline her. It's not surprising that she doesn't know much. Once we get familiar with each other, we can slowly teach her."

"Yes, Second Uncle, you have been running around for these years simply because you were worried about Master Uncle. Now that we have found his descendant, we are also very happy. We will definitely treat her with all our heart and soul in the future."

Jiang Li pursed his lips, listened to the discussions of several people, and sighed quietly.
"I think I understand Qing's concerns... Times have changed. Whatever, everyone has their own choices. Nothing can be forced."

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, two people suddenly walked into the hall.

"Master, has my niece agreed to spend the New Year with us? I have asked someone to prepare a room for her, and I have specially arranged it to be next to Guan Yue, so that it will be convenient for girls to keep each other company."

"No need to arrange it. People don't want to come. Our temple is small and can't accommodate this big Buddha."

Before Jiang Li could speak, someone next to him said something sarcastic.

"Third Junior Brother, there's no need to say that. As a young girl, you're timid and it's understandable that you don't know what to do when facing our elders."

"That's not good enough. Our Jiang family has been passed down for a hundred years. Our former uncle was also a man of extraordinary talent. Unfortunately, he was persecuted by others... We don't even have a chance to take revenge."

"It would be disappointing if the master uncle had a descendant who survived the world and was timid."

Jiang Li listened to this, raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of condemnation.

"Jiang Bo, you are the elder now, you should be kind and less critical. How about Qing? You haven't even met her, so how can you evaluate her?"

"Uncle, why do we need to see this? You called them in person and they didn't even give you face. What else do you need to say about your character?"

Jiang Bo had a serious face and a confident look.
"My second uncle is old, and he finally came back. He should recuperate at home. When the weather gets warmer after the New Year, I will go down the mountain in person to meet the girl and make plans."
