"Humph, you earned it yourself?" Xu Yuxiang didn't believe it at all, but in front of everyone, she still restrained herself. After all, in front of outsiders, she still had to create the image of a blessed person. Thinking of this, she changed her tone, "Even if you earn it yourself, you have to spend it frugally."

After all, Su Jiaojiao is her granddaughter.

If she got a bad reputation, it would be shameful for her.

"Mother, Cuicui can't even afford such a nice bicycle with her monthly salary, and you believe she earned it herself?" Feng Yuefen still hasn't developed the habit of reading her mother-in-law's expressions after all these years. She always keeps her feelings to herself. "It's definitely not earned on the road!"

"Auntie, what evidence do you have to prove that I didn't make my money from a good source?" Su Jiaojiao pushed her bicycle forward and said to Feng Yuefen as she walked, "If you can't provide evidence, it's defamation, and defamation is illegal."

"You, stop quibbling with me. Am I breaking the law by saying a few words to you?" Feng Yuefen got angry when she saw Su Jiaojiao's face. Liang Kun was really short-sighted. He didn't like Su Cuicui who was right under his nose, but liked someone like Su Jiaojiao. But Su Jiaojiao was so arrogant that she looked down on Liang Kun.

"Alright, alright, stop talking." Xu Yuxiang winked at Feng Yuefen and rolled her eyes at Chen Guilan. "Wait until I get home with the generous gifts, and then we'll see how you explain it!"

Then she said to the neighbors, "My son only earns 400 yuan a month, and they bought such an expensive bicycle without any hesitation, and they don't let anyone say anything. It's so hard for me as a mother-in-law!"

Just as he finished speaking, a black Santana car stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Xu Yuxiang and Feng Yuefen ignored the gossip and stretched their necks to look at the car with everyone else.

There are very few cars driving into their village, it's very rare.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit got out. He walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and helped an old lady down: "Mom, go slowly."

The old lady looked up and saw Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao. She said in surprise, "Xiao Su, it's really you. Are we in the right place?"

It’s Aunt Liu.

"No, I'll take you to find Old Lady Yin." Su Jiaojiao pushed the bicycle into the yard, locked the door, took Chen Guilan's hand, and took the mother and son to Old Lady Yin's house.

Everyone looked at each other.

They looked at Xu Yuxiang and Feng Yuefen at the same time and asked in unison, "Do you have relatives like this?"

He drives a car!

So generous!

"I don't have any relatives like that in my family. If there were, how could I not know them?" Xu Yuxiang suddenly felt embarrassed and said hesitantly, "They must be from the formal wear factory who came to see the fortune teller. Otherwise, why would they end up in our alley?"

Almost all the strangers who came to their alley came to see Old Lady Yin for advice.

Especially those who drive cars.

"Auntie, have you eaten?" Chen Guilan walked in front and pushed open the door of Old Lady Yin's house.

Old Mrs. Yin rarely goes out all year round, and at most she basks in the sun at the entrance of the alley.

Whenever it rains, Chen Guilan will help her carry the firewood at the door into the house. Her niece-in-law comes to cook for her every day and takes the gifts brought by believers to her store to sell.

Old Mrs. Yin’s house is still that old one.

The courtyard, walls and stove were kept very clean.

There were still some scrambled egg crumbs on the bottom of the big pot on the stove, and the whole house was filled with the aroma of eggs.

After a while, the hoarse voice of Old Lady Yin came from the kang in the main hall: "Come in!"

A group of people walked in.

Su Jiaojiao remembered that Aunt Liu said her son worked in Jiali Garment Factory. On the way, she couldn't help but look at him again. She remembered that his name was Ju Peijun, and he was the driver of the factory. The Santana he drove was the car of the boss of Jiali Garment Factory. When he was free, he would work in the workshop, and sometimes he would go to the clothing store at the factory gate to help deliver goods.

Ju Peijun is diligent and sweet-spoken, and is popular in the factory.

Qin Shuang complained to everyone but never said a word against him.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but the house was dark. The small wooden window frame was half-hidden by a black curtain. A few rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtain and sprinkled on the old reed mat, creating hazy shadows and a bit of dust floating up and down in the halo of light.

In front of the kang stood a square black wooden table, with a long bench on each side. Chen Guilan led Aunt Liu and her son to sit down. Ju Peijun pulled out two packs of cigarettes and placed them on the kang, smiling and saying, "Old immortal, my mother has lost her soul. Could you please help her call out to her?"

He actually doesn't believe this.

But he came with her because his mother kept saying that she had lost her soul. Regardless of whether it works or not, it is just a comfort to his heart. As long as his mother believes that her soul can be called back, it will be fine.

Old Lady Yin sat in the shadows by the window, her face pale and her hair white. She was awe-inspiring and intimidating. She asked about Aunt Liu's birth date, muttering to herself. She looked up at Su Jiaojiao and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaojiao, I told you to write it down. Please help them remember the incense table."

"Okay." Su Jiaojiao took a pen and paper from the table. When she was a child, she helped Old Lady Yin to record the incense table. She knew which direction to burn incense, which direction to place offerings, and when to burn paper. Because some things had complicated procedures, the parties involved could not remember them and they needed to be written down.

Old Lady Yin asked Aunt Liu to light three incense sticks at home, place offerings, and then chant Aunt Liu's name from the house to the place where she fell, burn some paper in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and then go home calling her name. If the incense in the house does not go out, it means that the soul has been successfully called back.

Aunt Liu believed it without a doubt and thanked him again and again.

He said that he would come to fulfill his vow after he got better.

"Old Immortal, can you tell fortunes for someone else?" Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Aunt Liu instantly felt much better, even felt that her lost soul had returned. Since it was so effective, she wanted to take this opportunity to tell fortunes for her sister. She nudged Ju Peijun with her arm, and Ju Peijun understood and took out two boxes of cigarettes from his pocket and placed them on the kang. "Old Immortal, thank you for your trouble."

"Her birth date?" Old Lady Yin didn't even raise her eyelids.

Aunt Liu reported her birth date and turned to look at Old Lady Yin: "My sister has been having migraines ever since we built a new house. I don't know what's going on."

"Mom, my aunt should go to the hospital." Ju Peijun couldn't bear it any longer and coughed lightly, "You are making things difficult for the old immortal!"

What the hell is going on!

He is really an old immortal!

Old Lady Yin said nothing. She counted with her fingers for a while before she said, "Is she having a headache on the right side?"

"Yes, yes, it's on the right." Aunt Liu's eyes lit up.

"There's a crooked stone sill under the window sill of their newly built east wing. We can just find someone to fix it." Old Lady Yin glanced at Aunt Liu and added, "It's a human error, but it's best not to pursue it. Forgive others when you can. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one."

Ju Peijun was stunned. Is it so magical?

Aunt Liu was so impressed that she wanted to take out two more boxes of cigarettes to give to the old immortal. She hurried forward and poured tea for Old Lady Yin herself: "Thank you very much, old immortal. When my sister gets better, I will come with her to fulfill my wish!"

Su Jiaojiao was also fascinated by what she heard.

You can't not believe this kind of thing, but you can't believe it completely either.

There was nothing more to ask, so the mother and son stood up to say goodbye. Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao also stood up and walked out. Having a fortune-teller was tiring, so they didn't want to disturb them any further. Suddenly, Old Lady Yin called out to Su Jiaojiao, "Xiao Jiao, stay. I have something to tell you."

Su Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Old Lady Yin saw something...
