Lin Qingyin was a little tangled when she heard those words: “To the best hotel? But I haven’t finished my homework yet!”
The Old lady: “…………”
The onlookers: “………….”
Fatty Wang knows Lin Qingyin was a foody lover, knowing that she wanted to go. He offered her advice: “Why not let Jiang Wei finish them. He already answered some for you, why not let him do the rest?”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “!!!”
The old couple left with great gratitude. Lin Qingyin no longer think about them and gave her last customer divination. At this time, the people around her still couldn’t sit still and discussed what happened just now in a low voice.
“Speaking of it, the Little Master has saved several families since she started this fortune-telling business.”
“Isn’t it? That Little Policeman surnamed Ma just finished his surgery for early-stage stomach cancer. He didn’t even need to undergo chemotherapy. He will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. It all thanks to the Little Master’s advice. If he delayed it even for half a month, he won’t recover as fast as this.”
“Right, and also the Jiang Family. What is their family’s previous situation? Their company went bankrupt. Their factory closed down. Their villas and cars were sold. Their grandson slipped and fell unconscious on the way of his thesis defense, and almost failed to graduate. If it hadn’t been for the Little Master to notice their problem and solved it for them, how could their family live smoothly now? I saw Old Jiang recently, he looks very energetic, he said to me that his son’s business is booming once again.”
The Jiang family?
Lin Qingyin’s Mother turned her head and asked the aunt, who claimed that she has been here twice: “Do you mean that Jiang Family who had someone become the Top 1 in college entrance examination?”
“Yes, that young man is Jiang Wei. He invited the Little Master in their home.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother now understood. No wonder Jiang Wei came to their house to give Lin Qingyin free make up lesson every day. No wonder he helped Lin Qingyin do her homework. No wonder he brought his own foods while giving makeup lessons. Those were just trivial things!
Lin Qingyin’s Mother felt that if her daughter asks Jiang Wei to take the exam for her. Jiang Wei would be happy!
Seeing her daughter sitting and talking in the crowd, Lin Qingyin’s Mother felt very complicated. When did her daughter learn fortune-telling? Why didn’t she know about it at all?
But……
Lin Qingyin’s Mother covered her face and said: “It seems her divination is pretty accurate, I also want to ask for divination!”
“If you want to ask Little Master to give you divination, you should make an appointment from that Fat Master.” The aunt pointed her finger to Fatty Wang: “But I heard there are many people who made an appointment now. Their next available schedule will be 2 months from now. If you have an urgent matter, you can make an appointment in advance. Just say it to that Fat Master. But I heard it cost 1,500 yuan.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother was in a very complicated mood. It was quite expensive to find her daughter for fortune-telling. It almost cost half of her month’s salary.

After giving her last customer divination, Lin Qingyin stood up and walked towards her mother. In fact, Lin Qingyin saw her mother while she was following the crowd. She saw her sneaking and acting as a thief, but she didn’t say anything.
When the people saw Lin Qingyin coming over, they all got up from the ground excitedly, just like fans meeting their idol. When Lin Qingyin’s Mother saw her daughter looking at her, she wanted to slip away, but she can hardly stand up.
“Mom, are you off today? Then, let’s go back home together.”
The Aunt next to Lin Qingyin’s Mother looked at the Little Master, and then looked at Lin Qingyin’s Mother in disbelief and eyes as if she was deceived: “Didn’t you say it was your first time to come here?”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother smiled awkwardly: “Yes, it’s indeed my first time here.”
“You also asked me if the Little Master’s divination is accurate!”
“She never gives fortune-telling in front of me!”
The Aunt gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and grabbed Lin Qingyin’s Mother’s arm: “For the sake of answering your questions, you discuss with the little master to give me divination and let me join their team.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother replied: “The price of jumping in line is 1,500. You said it just now!”
The Aunt: “… …”
Why did I say it just now!

Lin Qingyin’s Mother followed her daughter back home in a complicated mood. However, as soon as they went inside, Lin Qingyin didn’t wait for her mother ask her questions, she repeated the words she said to Fatty Wang, and then went to her room and took out a book she wrote herself.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother carefully flipped through it. Not only she couldn’t recognize the words inside, but she also couldn’t understand them: “What is written in it all about?”
Lin Qingyin pointed to a line casually and read two sentences.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother said: “I don’t understand.”
“If you don’t understand, it’s alright.” Lin Qingyin coughed lightly and said very naturally: “But it means you have no talent.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother agrees with this. When she was in school, her grades were mediocre. So how could she understand such an obscure thing?
It’s just……
Lin Qingyin’s Mother asked in entanglement: “You learn this by yourself. So why did you think of going outside and give divination to others?”
“In order to make money!” Lin Qingyin said: “Mom, you and dad have been working tirelessly. If you continue like this, you will damage your health. Just listen to me, you give up your job now. I’ll rent a small shop near the gate of our community, then you just sell, some ice cream, duck neck, fruits, and the likes”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother felt warm when she heard of it, and her eyes got a little red: “No, what if we go bankrupt again? Just keep the money you earn.”
“When you open the store, I will put a formation based on your horoscope. Although it won’t make you rich, it will let you make more money than what you can earn now, and things will be much easier.”
Lin Qingyin came into the room and took out a bag and two jade pendants: “Fate is not something that can’t be changed. Forcibly changing one’s life is not advisable, but it’s possible to change one’s life by changing your own lifestyle. This jade pendant is engraved with formation based on you and dad’s eight characters. It can keep you safe and healthy. Just wear it with you. I promise you will live a smooth life in the future.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother took the jade pendant in her daughter’s hand and doesn’t know what to feel. Not only she failed to create good living conditions for her daughter, but also let her worry about them.
Lin Qingyin watched her mother put the jade pendant with a red string around her neck, and then handed her the bag in her hand: “There is 200,000 yuan in it. You and dad can use it as your capital in the business. Now, you let dad resign and come back.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother nodded her head with reddened eyes. She felt her throat was blocked with something astringent and bitter. She stretched out her arms and hugged Lin Qingyin hugged tightly.
Lin Qingyin was stunned. She never had close contact with anyone before. Even her mother in her previous life had never held her like this before. But now, her mother’s body was warm, making her heart filled with a sense of security, and making her reluctant to leave this embrace.
The mother and daughter hugged each other in silence. Lin Qingyin’s Mother released her daughter when she finally calmed down her emotion. She also remembered the big event this morning.
“Qingyin, mom, and dad will work hard to open a shop and make money. You still have to focus on your studies!”
Lin Qingyin nodded her head: “I know, I have to take the university entrance examination.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother breathed a sigh of relief: “School will start in 5 days. Have you finished your summer homework?”
Lin Qingyin: “………”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “Did you ask Jiang Wei to do your homework before?”
Lin Qingyin: “……….”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “Go back to your room and do your homework! Don’t make Jiang Wei do it for you again!”
Lin Qingyin looked at her mother in disbelief. She changed her face too quickly! Is this what Jiang Wei said about the reality of this world?
