You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Su Chen: “???”

Before he could answer, someone continued to ask.

"Is the 50 yuan you gave Liu Lan a betrothal gift?"

"Exactly. She said you borrowed it. If you two weren't related, how could you have borrowed so much money?"

"Yeah, you have a better relationship with Yao Bin, so why don't you lend him the money? You two were having an affair before, right?"

……

Su Chen's face gradually became gloomy.

Seeing this, Aying and Sude hurriedly leaned over to his ear and told him the situation.

After Yao Bin divorced Liu Lan, he collected all the IOUs they had written and paid back all the money. When asked where the money came from, Liu Lan told the truth.

But that's five hundred thousand.

Most people in town feel like they’ll never make enough in their lifetime.

Some people began to speculate about the relationship between Su Chen and Liu Lan with malicious intentions.

Not only did some people say that they were having an affair, some also said that Liu Lan and Yao Bin's child looked like Su Chen and was his child.

Su Chen was speechless.

He asked, "Did Liu Lan hear it too? Is she okay?"

"I know," Su De sighed, "She went straight to someone's house and threw things and had a fight."

As he spoke, he quietly pointed at the woman who had spoken first and said, "It was that A-Lian who spread the story."

Su Chen nodded.

When his eyes swept over A-Lian, the latter subconsciously shrank her neck.

late!

Su Chen cast a mantra talisman on her and asked, "Are you asking this on purpose to ruin Liu Lan's reputation?"

A-Lian took two steps back and soon stiffened her neck.

"That's what it is."

"Who made her not as pretty as me, so you'd still like her?"

Su Chen frowned.

Do you really think there is something going on between them?

But he had no contact with this A-Lian before.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Who told you that I'm attracted to her?"

A-Lian said bluntly, "Yao Bin, he said that you two had been secretly meeting behind his back a few years ago and that you had already fallen in love."

Su Chen sighed.

"That was when I asked them to borrow money before, but Yao Bin refused. Liu Lan knew my situation, so she gave me the money privately during those meetings."

A-Lian coughed lightly. "Then... who knows if this is just an excuse you made up? I don't believe you can lend Liu Lan 500,000 yuan just because of this. What's her reason?"

"Because I'm rich and she's kind, she helped me."

As Su Chen spoke, he glanced around and found Yao Bin in the distance, with unsteady steps and a pale face.

He raised his hand and pulled Yao Bin back.

"what!"

Yao Bin squealed like a pig.

When he found himself standing in front of people and safe and sound, he finally calmed down, looked around in confusion, and gave Su Chen a dry laugh.

"Su Chen, when did you come back to town? Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to come to my house for a cup of tea?"

"No need!" Su Chen asked him, "This A-Lian said you told her that Liu Lan and I were having an affair?"

Yao Bin waved his hands repeatedly: "How is that possible?"

"Hey, Yao Bin, it's obviously you..."

Yao Bin quickly retorted, "You must be deaf and must have heard it wrong. How could I say that? Besides, Liu Lan and I have been in the south for so many years. How could she have the chance to be with Su Chen? Rely on the Chinese New Year? There are people everywhere during the Chinese New Year. Even if they really wanted to, they wouldn't have the chance."

A Lian was angry: "Then you also said that if there was no affair, Su Chen would not be able to borrow 500,000."

"That's Su Chen, okay?"

Yao Bin was afraid that A Lian would say something else, so he quickly turned around and explained to Su Chen, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She's a famous gossipmonger in town. She talks about everyone's affairs all day long. I don't know who she listens to."

"Yao Bin, you bastard, it's obviously you..."

Yao Bin rushed out, covered A-Lian's mouth with his hand, and laughed at the people around him: "Well, A-Lian is talking nonsense. I'll take her back first."

Seeing A-Lian being pulled away by Yao Bin, someone took a closer look and asked in a low voice: "Hey, you guys, are they having an affair? The way they're holding hands..."

Su Chen: "..."

He turned around and said something to his fourth brother and his wife, and instead of returning to the villa, he went straight to the Magic City.

In the early morning of the teahouse, the aroma of bamboo tube rice fills the air.

Su Chen looked carefully and said, "Xiao Liu'er, did you add another pot?"

The little guy nodded and said, "Sister An Hui and the others helped me prepare more ingredients yesterday. There were too many, so I made more to avoid wasting them."

Song Shishi came out yawning.

"Yes, there are too many ingredients. We had people bring bamboo in in the middle of the night to make bamboo tubes one by one. We were busy until the early morning."

"Master Su, I'm so sleepy, can you help me for free?"

Su Chen raised his hand.

Song Shishi quickly perked up, but just stared at the two large pots of bamboo rice with drooping shoulders. "Xiao Liu'er, why do you want to sell rice? Can't you sell seafood? You won't get fat eating that."

Xiao Liu'er didn't answer her and was busy collecting money and getting the bamboo tube rice.

Song Shishi dragged her feet and sat down, supporting her chin: "Hey~"

Su Chen ignored him and just sat down at the stall. When he glanced around, he saw an old monk sitting cross-legged under the eaves opposite.

He was startled.

Song Shishi followed his gaze and said, "He didn't leave after dinner last night. Grandpa invited him to come in and sleep, but he refused. He must have felt annoyed with him, so he went across the street."

She lowered her voice and said, "I feel like he's kind of relying on us!"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and whispered back to her: "Even if I rely on you, with your current salary, you can support ten of them."

"That's right. I only have two steamed buns for one meal. I don't have to buy clothes or bedding. It's a lot less hassle."

"Where is Old Song?" Su Chen asked.

Song Shishi was annoyed: "He was called away by phone early in the morning. He is always mysterious. Don't bother with him."

Xiao Liu'er took the time to turn around and said, "Master Su, Grandpa is going to be a bodyguard. The salary is two hundred a day!"

"Just him?"

Xiao Liuer nodded.

Song Shishi snorted, "That old man is showing off again."

"Now that the money is gone, it's time to earn more."

Song Shishi: “!!!”

She sat up straight.

"No, didn't he say a few days ago that he's become rich? He has enough money for retirement and doesn't need me anymore..."

"Why now..."

She turned around and asked Xiao Liu'er, "Has the old man visited them again recently?"

Seeing Xiao Liu'er shaking her head, Song Shishi frowned.

"So where did he spend the money?"

"Wasn't it...washing feet?"

Su Chen met her gaze and burst out laughing.

After she explained the whole story, Song Shishi rolled her eyes.

"I knew it!"

After thinking it over carefully, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Does that mean we need to carve a stele? Taoist Su, can you carve it?"

"You're paying me to carve it?"

"It's too expensive. I can't afford it."

"You provide the stone, and I'll charge you five hundred."

"make a deal!"

Song Shishi jumped up excitedly: "I'll go find the right stone now, let's go!"

When Xiao Liuer saw her come into the house to make a phone call, she shook her head.

Just as I was about to say something to Su Chen, someone else came over.

"Do you want bamboo rice? Delicious bamboo rice..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she subconsciously shrank her neck and looked at Su Chen for help.

Su Chen also sensed a strange aura.

He looked up and saw a figure stopped in front of his stall.

Full of death, with a look of fear in his eyes.

"You, are you Taoist Su? Can you help me?"

Before Su Chen could speak, the old monk opposite stood up and walked over.

"Amitabha!"
