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

The coughing continued until dawn. Zhong Hongqi woke up in a daze. It was already bright outside and there was no sound from next door.

Turning my head, I saw a washbasin on the bedside, with a bowl in the basin and a plate covering the bowl.

The hot water in the basin had cooled down. Zhong Hongqi checked it and it was ice cold.

He lifted the plate and shoveled the cold porridge into his mouth when he heard a sound coming from outside.

"There's money hidden in the newspaper? No, really not. I saw it yesterday..."

Zhong Hongqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up, put on his clothes, and opened the window a little. His father, with a hunched back, led people to his family's storage room, which was full of junk he had collected.

And yesterday morning, he found an envelope in the pile of junk, which contained 100 yuan.

No.

Can't return it.

I gave the master 20 of this money yesterday, and now there are only 80 left.

This is the capital for making a fortune!

At least, not now.

He thought back to when he found the money yesterday and quickly felt relieved.

He threw the envelope directly outside. The utility room was open and any neighbor could go in.

As long as he denies it, he won't be found guilty.

He found an excuse to refute and made sufficient mental preparation, but he still felt upset when drinking the porridge.

After waiting for a long time, his father didn't come to ask, but instead led people out.

The man was full of apology: "I'm sorry, Lao Zhong, I think I remembered it wrong. I'll go home and look for it again."

"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has a bad memory sometimes."

Zhong Hongqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he started laughing.

He was able to get away with it unscathed from such a thing without doubting himself at all. He really deserves to get rich today!

He happily opened the door, but after taking two steps, he was met by Zhong Jiaxiang who had turned around. The latter snorted unhappily, "Sleeping in so late every day, lazy bastard!"

Just be lazy, lazy.

After today, you will look at me with higher regard!

Zhong Hongqi didn't argue with him and looked behind him: "Where's my mother?"

"I'm collecting junk."

"She was coughing so badly, why did she still go to collect it?" Zhong Hongqi was angry. "Why didn't you stop her?"

"Stop me? What's the use of stopping me? If I don't take some rags, I'll be left with nothing during the New Year." Zhong Jiaxiang glared at him fiercely. "How dare you say that? If you didn't owe so much money..."

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with someone. I have to leave first!"

Zhong Hongqi ran away as if escaping.

Seeing this, Zhong Jiaxiang shook his head helplessly, sighed, and resigned himself to helping Zhong Hongqi close the door and walk out.

It started to drizzle.

Ah Liang came over with a worried look on his face, took off his bamboo hat and placed it by the door, sighing, "Uncle, I want to go down the mountain and play. I don't want to walk the mountain road."

Su Chen glanced at him: "Too lazy to leave?"

"Hey, it's mainly because of the new shoes I'm wearing today..." Ah Liang showed off his new leather shoes. "Third Aunt bought them for me and also introduced me to a girl. I'm going to town to see her today. Uncle, walking on the mountain road in the rain will make me all muddy. The soles of my shoes must be covered in yellow mud. How unpleasant, isn't it?"

Liu Chunhua immediately became interested: "Xiaoyan introduced you to a girl? Whose family is it?"

Old Man Su was also surprised: "I've never heard her mention this before!"

"Hey, Fourth Uncle said he just came back from work yesterday."

"That means dressing up nicely."

"Yes, and it can't get stained with yellow mud."

Liu Chunhua and Old Man Su looked at Su Chen at the same time. Su Chen said helplessly: "You two should just love your eldest grandson. What's the yellow mud? Wearing old clothes and old shoes down the mountain, it will be different when you change into them later."

Ah Liang chuckled, "Uncle is really smart." He scratched his head, "I just... wanted to try the ghost path again. It's so fast, it'll be there in a flash..."

These words touched Old Man Su's heart.

After experiencing walking on the ghost path once, he even felt disgusted looking at mountain roads.

Sometimes I think that it would be great if I had that ability, so that I could go directly to Beijing, not to mention going to the town.

"Uncle~" A Liang pulled Su Chen's arm and shook it, "Just take me to town~"

Su Chen got goosebumps all over his body.

He slapped Aliang's hand away: "How old are you and still acting like a spoiled child? You're still a man."

"Hey, uncle, do you agree?"

Su Chen was helpless: "Let's go, let's go."

He was originally hesitant about whether to set up a stall in the city, but after sending A Liang off, he simply went to the public toilet on Chunming Street.

This time he appeared directly in front of Lao Yu, who blinked and handed him the bowl in his hand: "Would you like some porridge?"

"No need, Uncle Yu, I've already eaten."

After the people left, Lao Yu silently scooped two spoonfuls of porridge into his mouth: "Just don't show up when I'm squatting in the toilet... Well, don't step in the shit..."

When Su Chen arrived at the hardware store, A Biao had not yet woken up.

Lian Zhenzhen couldn't stop smiling when she saw him: "Xiao Su, your tiger penis wine is incredible."

Who said no?

Su Chen sat in the hardware store for two hours, but there was no sign of Wang Haitao.

He was happy and at ease, and continued reading.

The rain gradually became heavier.

Old Liao across the street moved his stall to the yarn shop with a sad face.

"Old Liao, I told you to weld a canopy on your tricycle, but you refused to listen. How much does it cost? And you insist on hiding here every time it rains..."

Kong Aichun said a few words of disdain and threw him an old towel: "I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant again?"

When talking about this, Lao Liao looked worried.

"Of course I do. I really want her to give birth to the baby, but... aren't there already two?"

"There's a fine for having more than one child. If you really do have one, it'll be tough!" Kong Aichun suggested. "You already have two grandchildren, so you don't need someone to carry on the family line. Just have an abortion and have your daughter-in-law get a sterilization."

Lao Liao scratched his forehead in annoyance: "Let's talk about it later, I..."

He sighed, "I'll go back and find out how much the fine is and see if it's enough. I'll hurt myself if I get beaten up."

Kong Aichun nodded: "That's right."

He added, "It would be great if you had relatives in the mountains. You could let your daughter-in-law give birth there, and then you wouldn't have to worry about being discovered."

"That's right~"

As they were talking, someone entered the store.

"Sister, I want to ask, where is the fortune teller who has a stall here? Is he here today?"

Kong Aichun has always been fashionable. She has curly hair, wears makeup and lipstick, and wears a skirt and high heels in the middle of winter. Who wouldn't say that she is the beauty of Chunming Street when seeing her?

But compared with the woman in front of her, she felt a little ashamed.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, and when you got closer, a scent of jasmine filled your nose.

She was also wearing high heels, but they were long boots, and jeans, showing off her long legs.

Not only is she tall and slim, but her face is also fair and she doesn't wear much makeup, and you can see that there are no pores or spots on her face.

She is so beautiful, could she be a star?

Kong Aichun grumbled, but still managed a smile and pointed to the door opposite: "Here I come, Xiao Su is over there, in the hardware store."

It rained and there were fewer people on the streets.

There are even fewer people buying steamed buns now.

When Lao Liao saw the woman walking towards the hardware store, he looked at Kong Aichun, and the two of them walked over with umbrellas.

Su Chen heard footsteps, raised his eyes to glance at the woman, narrowed his eyes slightly, and three images were imprinted in his mind.

It’s just... pretty impressive.

They are all colorful and very fancy, which makes people unable to bear to look at them.
